Chapter 255 Bait
The leader of the evil cultivators received the news that the group of disciples from Yuehua City had been captured early in the morning, and was now waiting in the main hall.
Wu Qi brought Nan Xiao to the main hall, and the two of them bowed respectfully to their superior.
He said, "Master, the sect disciples from Yuehua City have been captured as quickly as possible. However, there is currently no trace of the few people who sneaked into the underground palace."
The evil cultivator leader nodded slightly, indicating that he understood.
He turned to look at Nan Xiao, sizing her up with hawk-like eyes, his gaze dark and unclear.
"You, little girl, haven't let me down." He waved his hand, and another brown pill floated in front of Nan Xiao. He said slowly, "This is what I promised you. Please accept it. Follow me and work hard in the future. You will definitely benefit from it."
Nan Xiao's mouth twitched slightly. First, the Myriad Insects Bone-Eroding Pill, and now the Nine Yin Bone-Eroding Pill. This was truly... a big deal...
They are all pills that make people's life worse than death.
Tsk~
"Thank you, sir."
Nan Xiao's eyebrows curved, revealing a hint of joy. She swallowed it without hesitation in front of everyone.
Her face twisted for a moment. She didn't know who made such a crude and shoddy pill.
It tastes terrible.
Compared to her, I'm far behind.
Even if it is poison, she can make it so well that you will want to take a second one after taking one.
Try feeding it to the evil leader next time.
Reciprocity is important.
A hint of satisfaction flashed across the evil cultivator leader's dark and sinister eyes.
If this little girl had always been so obedient, it would have been okay to spare her life and treat her as a little pet to play with.
He drummed his fingers rhythmically on the table and said slowly, "Little girl, you heard it too. There are still a few people who haven't been caught. Do you have any ideas?"
Nan Xiao frowned slightly, his thoughts a little vague, but in the eyes of others, he seemed to be thinking seriously.
She answered carefully, "Those people are hiding in the dark. They must know that you are looking for them, so they dare not show up rashly. Why don't we spread some false information to confuse them and make them show up on their own initiative?"
"When the time comes, as long as they show up, I will have a way to catch them."
The evil cultivator leader raised his eyebrows slightly: "Oh... then tell me, what kind of information can lure them out?"
Nan Xiao shook his head: "Sir, although I came here with them, I don't know many things. I still need your decision."
After saying this, she silently lowered her eyes, hiding the emotions in them, and looked well-behaved.
It's so funny. They don't have all the information, so they know nothing.
The hall fell into a brief silence. At this moment, a man in black hurried up.
He knelt on one knee in the center of the hall and respectfully replied, "Master, teleportation point number one has been sabotaged. This person is extremely powerful, and I and others are unable to stop him."
"How many people?"
Faced with the nonchalant tone of his superior, the man in black couldn't help but tremble.
"one person."
Hearing this, the evil cultivator leader laughed and was angry.
Even through the mask, others could clearly feel the bone-chilling chill emanating from him.
When he got angry, someone was doomed. Before the black-clad man who reported the incident could even beg for mercy, his body instantly exploded, blood and flesh splattering everywhere. It was a brutal act. Nan Xiao silently took a step back, hiding behind Wu Qi to avoid being covered in blood and flesh.
Others take it for granted.
The evil cultivator leader wiped his hands and said, "Little girl, since you just said you have a way, then I'll leave this person to you."
"If you can capture all the disciples who sneaked in, the position of the leader of the Yuehua branch will be yours."
Nan Xiao's eyes lit up, and he bowed and said, "Thank you for your cultivation, sir. I will definitely do my best."
…
Unlike before, Wu Qi was no longer by Nan Xiao's side. However, the evil cultivator leader had assigned her a dozen or so men in black to command.
Nan Xiao came to the No. 1 portal, which was the passage connecting the underground palace and Yuehua City.
Although she was standing quite far away, she could still see clearly that the figure fighting with the man in black was her third senior brother... Ye Wumian.
The young man was agile and moved around while being surrounded by the men in black. His clothes fluttered in the wind, showing his sharpness and elegance.
Nan Xiao raised her eyebrows slightly. When her third senior brother became serious, the youthful vigor and fearlessness that were unique to young men were clearly revealed.
A man in black came up to Nan Xiao and whispered, "Miss Nan, you've been observing here for quite some time. Have you come up with a solution? If this guy destroys teleportation point number one, we'll all be doomed."
Nan Xiao didn't even glance at him and said calmly, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
Man in black: “…”
How can I not be anxious? If I don't do it right, I'll be dead.
He was very displeased with this disciple who had betrayed the sect halfway.
He had to obey his master's orders.
If the mission failed because of her, he would kill her before his master killed him.
Nan Xiao naturally didn't know what the men in black were thinking. Seeing that the time was almost right, he signaled the team of men in black to move forward. He stood where he was, took out his longbow, pulled the string to its full length, and the tip of the arrow pointed steadily at Ye Wumian.
She loosened her fingers and the sharp arrow quickly cut through the sky. Ye Wumian dodged it with a beautiful mid-air spin at the critical moment.
Ye Wumian glanced at the arrow stuck in the stone wall and slowed down his movements.
Isn’t this Junior Sister’s arrow?
His eyes lit up, and his junior sister was around.
Ye Wumian instantly became excited, with only one thought in his mind: it’s not lost, it’s not lost…
Not afraid of being beaten by the senior brother.
He pushed the man in black back and looked around quickly.
"Where's my junior sister, where's my junior sister, where's his junior sister..."
While he was busy looking for someone, another sharp arrow shot towards him. This time he did not dodge. The magic sword in his hand turned with the movement of his wrist, knocking the arrow down. The sharp arrow instantly exploded into a pile of white powder, which scattered in all directions.
Ye Wumian had no time to think, as a petite figure holding a sword was already right in front of him.
Nan Xiao said, "All of you step back. I've put poison powder on the arrows. Be careful not to get them contaminated, or even a god won't be able to save you."
When the man in black heard this, he quickly retreated far away.
Who would want to die if they can live? Moreover, the disciples of this sect are like evil spirits who will kill any god or Buddha who stands in their way. If there is no order from above, they don't want to fight at all.
Ye Wumian's nose twitched. This seemed to be just ordinary insect repellent powder.
He just said: "Junior Sister..."
Nan Xiao interrupted him directly: "Don't try to get close to me. You won't last long after being poisoned by my poison powder. I advise you to be obedient and suffer less physical pain."
Ye Wumian: “…………”
He understood.
After exchanging a few moves with Nan Xiao, Ye Wumian's hands and feet went weak and he fell to the ground.
He raised his head, a stubborn look on his face, and squeezed out the words from between his teeth: "What a powerful poison powder..."
Before he could finish his words, he fell straight to the ground with a dull thud.
Nan Xiao subconsciously looked down and saw Ye Wumian opened one eye and winked at her secretly. His expression seemed to say: How is my acting?
Nan Xiao's mouth twitched. Why add more drama?
She directly tied Ye Wumian up with vines.
The men in black who had dispersed earlier surrounded them.
"Miss Nan, should we send this man to the dungeon now, or bring him before the master?"
Nan Xiao: "No, keep it."
"If we want to lure out the remaining disciples of the sect, he is the best bait."
