"You've finally arrived."
Upon seeing the two people appear, Ye Jintang curled her lips into a smile.
Let's see how they escape now.
"Why have all of Brother Mu Bai and the others collapsed? Could it be that they've already...?"
Su Xuerou stayed close to Jiang Mubai, feeling frightened just from catching a glimpse of the men lying on the ground.
She only knew that her father would send people to rescue her, but she didn't expect it to cause such a big commotion. This place is the Dali Temple. Is it really okay to do this?
Just thinking about it made Su Xuerou feel uncertain.
Jiang Mubai was equally shocked. After hearing Su Xuerou's description, he rushed forward and frowned even more when he saw the person lying on the ground.
"These people have just fainted; they are not seriously injured."
Jiang Mubai reached out and checked the breathing of these people before replying to Su Xuerou.
Su Xuerou breathed a sigh of relief, feeling somewhat at ease. Although she was a woman, she understood the seriousness of things escalating if things got out of hand.
Ye Jintang simply watched quietly, when suddenly he sensed a strange aura approaching.
The commotion came from the other side. She remembered that the man in black and Big White had chased after them in this direction, so it seemed that Big White had run into some trouble.
"Lord Shen, there's been a bit of a problem over there that I need to go check on. I'll leave this place to you."
"Please rest assured, Miss Ye." Lord Shen was about to agree when he noticed that Ye Jintang was all alone.
He couldn't help but add, "Miss Ye, would you like to hire a few more people?"
Ye Jintang understood the official's intention perfectly well, and smiled, "No need, I can manage on my own."
The power used by the opponent is unusual. Ordinary people will not only be ineffective, but will also be easily influenced and controlled by the black energy.
Bringing too many people would only be a burden, and she didn't want to have to deal with other people after fighting with the other party.
That would be a losing proposition.
Ye Jintang would never allow such a thing to happen.
After Ye Jintang left, Lord Shen's men quickly surrounded Jiang Mubai and Su Xuerou.
"Lord Shen is truly capable, even managing to cause trouble in the Dali Temple. Such blatant disregard for the law is blatant!"
Lord Shen's questioning made Jiang Mubai's expression instantly serious, and even Su Xuerou's body trembled uncontrollably.
"Brother Mu... Brother Mu Bai, these people..."
Su Xuerou was in a panic when she saw the guards appear. Even though the people from the Dali Temple were not dead, they had all fallen down. Why was this Lord Shen here, and at such a timely moment?
So now they really have no way to defend themselves?
Compared to Su Xuerou's panic, Jiang Mubai was initially shocked, but quickly recovered.
"Lord Shen, you must have misunderstood. It is precisely because of what happened tonight that if I had not fought back and something had gone wrong, Lord Shen would have had a hard time explaining himself."
Jiang Mubai felt increasingly suspicious, especially since the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review seemed to have timed it perfectly, waiting for him to walk right into the trap.
Just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.
Fortunately, what happened this time was a strange occurrence, so it's not surprising that he came here for his own safety.
"Lord Shen, I am a marquis personally appointed by the Emperor. I don't know how long I will be imprisoned like this. You cannot show favoritism because of your relationship with anyone."
Lord Shen snorted coldly; how could he not understand the meaning behind Jiang Mubai's words?
"I naturally prioritize evidence when handling cases, and there's no need for Your Excellency to concern yourself with other matters."
"My lord, please return before the matter is fully investigated."
Jiang Mubai clenched his fist, his eyes filled with resentment. He felt unwilling and helpless. If he had taken a step earlier, he might have been able to make a good use of this strange event.
Now it's the other way around...
"Brother Mu Bai, what should we do now?"
Su Xuerou, who was re-imprisoned, was almost in despair. She clearly had a chance to get out, but who could have imagined that this would happen?
Seeing that Jiang Mubai remained silent, Su Xuerou seemed to have thought of something and suddenly said, "Brother Mubai, don't you think this is a bit strange?"
"strangeness?"
Jiang Mubai frowned. "Are you referring to those men in black, or to Lord Shen who suddenly appeared?"
Su Xuerou shook her head.
“Brother Mu Bai, just now I seemed to vaguely hear the sound of dogs barking. Logically speaking, there shouldn’t be such a thing in the Dali Temple. Now that it has appeared, I remember Ye Jintang’s Resurrection Hall…”
Although Su Xuerou didn't continue speaking, it was enough to leave much to the imagination.
Jiang Mubai's eyes grew increasingly sinister, especially since his entry into the Dali Temple was largely due to Ye Jintang.
But this woman, behind his back, secretly asked the Emperor for a divorce agreement and even received a token personally bestowed upon him. Who knows if she said anything detrimental to him?
Just these things made Jiang Mubai feel extremely annoyed. Why does this woman always do things that harm others without benefiting herself?
"Don't worry, I am a marquis after all, those people wouldn't dare to do anything to me."
Seeing that Su Xuerou was crying softly out of fear, Jiang Mubai comforted her.
Even when it came to Jiang Yuan's matter, he was extremely careful when he took action, making it really difficult to find fault with him.
Meanwhile, Ye Jintang followed the aura of the black energy into a small alley.
As soon as I stepped inside, I heard Big White's "cries for help".
Woof woof!
"Woman, save me!"
The black mist surrounded Da Bai, restricting its path, partly because Da Bai had eaten things from the space and had even entered it.
These black wisps merely entangled the white creature, without causing any substantial impact on it.
Just as Ye Jintang was about to make a move, he suddenly sensed that there was another person in the alley.
It must be the missing man in black.
Although she could sense that the person was in the alley, she did not know their exact location. She was in the open, while the other party was in the dark. Now, with the addition of a large white dog, dealing with them would only make things more complicated.
She also had to be prepared for the other party to use underhanded tricks in the shadows.
This is clearly a losing proposition in the current context.
Before figuring out the opponent's true strength, it would be a big mistake to make a rash move. The reason she didn't make a move immediately after she appeared was also because of this.
unless……
"Let's take this opportunity to eliminate it directly," Ye Jintang thought coldly, as she tossed the bead into the air from the space.
The appearance of the bead instantly swallowed up the surrounding black energy and malevolent energy.
With the black aura no longer obstructing its path, Da Bai immediately rushed to Ye Jintang's side. At this moment, it was safer to stay by this woman's side.
"Woman, be careful. That man in black hasn't left; he's still nearby."
