Chapter 280 Do You Miss Me?
Zhang Shuyi chased the man in black, causing quite a commotion and quickly attracting people from the City Lord's Mansion and the Sect Alliance.
Surrounded by the crowd, the man in black had nowhere to escape and finally chose to self-destruct in a crowded place. Jiang Xia and others used their spiritual power to create a shield to prevent harm to innocent people.
Zhang Shuyi put away his spirit sword and said with a bow, "Brother Jiang, it's a good thing you arrived in time, otherwise these people would have escaped. It's a pity that we didn't catch any of them alive."
Jiang Xia frowned slightly. These people were all the devil's death warriors. It would be useless even if they were caught.
"Why is Junior Brother Zhang here?"
He knew that Zhang Shuyi was helping out in the alchemy room. The alchemy room was some distance away, and it looked like Zhang Shuyi had been chasing the man in black all the way here.
He asked again: "Is there an accident in the alchemy room?"
Zhang Shuyi briefly recounted what he knew. Jiang Xia left some of his disciples behind to handle the aftermath, and then began to head towards the alchemy room.
I always feel uneasy if I don't go back and take a look in person.
Nan Xiao watched as a group of people, led by Jiang Xia, poured into the house. The originally empty house suddenly became crowded and it was difficult to stand still.
"Hey, big brother, why are you guys back together?"
The eldest brother has been very busy every day since he came here. The last time we met was the night he met the Wen brothers and sisters.
He is really a busy man.
Jiang Xia held her up and looked her up and down like a human doll. Her arms and legs were still there, so she seemed fine.
Nan Xiao looked confused.
She explained: "Big Brother, I'm fine. It's Senior Sister Jian who is injured."
Jiang Xia warned: "Anyang City has been a bit chaotic these days. Don't run around alone. If you do go out, bring a few more people with you."
"Got it, I promise to be obedient."
Su Xun also leaned over and said, "Don't worry, Senior Brother, I'll be fine these few days. Leave Junior Sister to me and I'll make sure she behaves well."
Jiang Xia Youyou: "It's you that makes me worried."
Su Xun was heartbroken: “…………”
Where has the trust between people gone?
In order to give Jian Mo a quiet environment to recuperate, Zhuo Hua drove out the large group of people.
Jiang Xia patted Nan Xiao's head and said, "I have something else to do. I'll talk to you guys later in the evening."
"good."
Nan Xiao originally thought that Jiang Xia was just being polite, but she didn't expect to actually see Jiang Xia in the hall that night.
In addition to him, there were several elders from the sect alliance, and direct disciples from each sect were all there. It was a rare grand occasion.
Lu Huai pulled Nan Xiao and found a corner seat to sit down.
She asked, "What's the big deal?"
Lu Huai nodded: "Well, in the past, the demons only made some small moves around. Today, something happened in the city, and the demons seem to be unable to hold back. They moved their headquarters not far outside the city. A fight may break out at any time."
Nan Xiao nodded to show that he understood.
She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Lu Huai held it tightly, showing no intention of letting go. From time to time, he would knead her fingers, gently caressing them as if he were playing with a beloved object.
Nan Xiao asked in a low voice: "Is it fun?"
Lu Huai looked at her with wet eyes.
"Xiaoxiao, I haven't seen you for several days. I miss you so much."
"Do you miss me?"
Nan Xiao: “…………”
I miss you so much.
Ever since Lu Huai started talking, he became more straightforward and sticky.
Even someone as shameless as Nan Xiao couldn't stand it.
Fortunately, the senior elder started to speak, Lu Huai's attitude straightened up, and Nan Xiao also fell silent, listening like two good kids.
Nan Xiao listened carefully. The discussion was basically about the movements of the demons, how everyone should be vigilant, and also about personnel arrangements.
She was still arranged by Elder Li to stay in the alchemy room. If a fight really broke out, the pills they had refined before might not be enough.
War is brutal and costly wherever it is fought.
It would be better if we could avoid fighting.
Of course, she is just a minor character and her words don't count.
After a while, Nan Xiao returned to the space to practice. If nothing unexpected happened, she should be able to break through to the middle stage of the Nascent Soul in the next few days.
It was also thanks to the space left by Elder Yun, otherwise her cultivation speed would not have been so fast.

Demon Realm
Inside the dark, damp dungeon, a foul odor permeated the air. A figure huddled in a corner, its body covered in crisscrossing whip wounds, each streak of blood jarring.
Mingcheng closed his eyes, his enchantingly handsome face, even though it was pale, was still breathtakingly beautiful.
In the dead silence, there was a sudden sound of a door opening outside the dungeon.
The footsteps stopped in front of Mingcheng. He thought it was time for his punishment today, so he stood up with the help of the wall. Someone immediately supported him.
"Young Master, you have suffered."
Mingcheng looked up at him and saw that it was Hei Shisan.
"Why are you here?"
Hei Shisan helped Mingcheng sit down and fed him some healing pills.
"Young Master, it was Lord Demon who asked me to take you out." He looked at Ming Cheng's body covered with wounds, feeling distressed and blaming himself. If he had not sent a message to Lord Demon at that time, would the subsequent events have not happened, and the young master would not have been punished.
Thinking of this, he knelt down with a plop: "Young Master, this is my fault. If you want to kill me or beat me, I will not complain."
Hei Shisan told Mingcheng everything about how he had secretly passed on the message to the Demon Lord.
Mingcheng scoffed, "I see."
He said stubbornly: "Young Master, I know I was wrong. Please punish me."
Mingcheng looked a little tired, but with an unquestionable look, he said to Hei Shisan, who was kneeling in front of him, "Get up. In consideration of our past friendship, I will spare you the punishment. You can work under my brother in the future."
Hei Shisan's body trembled, and he kowtowed heavily, his forehead thumping against the ground. He begged, "Young Master, I deserve death. Please don't send me away."
He really knew he was wrong.
The pill began to take effect, and Mingcheng stood up despite his wounded body. He walked towards the door and said in a calm tone, "You should know my temper. Go find Heiwu to hand over your work."
Mingcheng slowly stepped out of the dungeon. He hadn't seen the sunlight for several months, and the light shining on his body made him feel dazed and as if he was in another world.
Heiwu appeared in front of Mingcheng as soon as he received the news.
"Young Master."
"Please compile a book of all the major and minor events that have occurred during this period and send it to me."
"yes."
Mingcheng returned to his residence, washed off the dirt on his body, changed into clean clothes, and then walked straight to the main hall.
"Brother." Mingcheng bowed.
"You're blaming me."
Mingcheng lowered his eyes and replied calmly: "Mingcheng dare not."
"Come and sit down."
"yes."
Mingye got straight to the point: "The Demon Heart Pearl is crucial to the survival of the entire demon race, so we must get it back. Anyang City is difficult to attack because of the presence of members of the sect alliance."
Mingcheng said, "Brother, what do you need me to do?"
"Use your mind-control technique to sneak into Anyang City and retrieve the Demon Heart Pearl. Then cooperate with Xiong Lin to massacre Anyang City." Mingye's lips curled up into a bloodthirsty smile. "Dare to take possession of the demon clan's things, you must pay the price."
