Chapter 243 Weird
The series of questions raised by Nan Xiao made everyone fall into deep thought.
Ye Wumian continued, "Junior Sister, do you mean to say that there is something wrong with that person?"
"I don't know. I just have some questions I want to ask him. Since that person was able to escape from these evil cultivators, he must have some skills. I think with him leading the way, it will be much easier for us to act." Nan replied with a smile.
Jing Zhi: "It's my fault. The elder asked me to take him with me, but I saw that he was so badly injured and kept talking nonsense. I thought it would be very troublesome to take care of him halfway, so I rejected the elder's suggestion."
Several people looked at him as if he was mentally retarded.
Good job, you don’t eat the food even when it’s right in front of you.
Jingzhi pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed dryly twice.
Guilty, he asked, "What do you say now?"
Su Xun suggested: "Now our only clue is the City Lord's Mansion. Since everyone is here, let's go together."
"Can"
"I have no objection."
The disciples of Tianjian Sect and Huanhai Sect arrived late and didn't know anything about their surroundings. It was good to have a clue now, which was better than being like a headless fly.
After a while, a group of people arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
Ye Wumian suddenly said, "Are we being a little too ostentatious?"
If there really is something wrong with this City Lord's Mansion, would their coming in so brazenly scare away the evil cultivators inside?
Lu Huai pointed to the gate in front of them: "Third Brother, don't you think it's too late to say this now?"
This is already at the door.
Ye Wumian: "Ah???"
Su Xun chuckled, put his arm around his shoulders and said, "Third Brother, in situations like this, you're responsible for using force."
Ye Wumian immediately launched a counterattack and choked Su Xun: "I understand what you said, you are saying that I have no brains."
Su Xun: “…”
Now that's smart, right?
Jiang Xia ignored them, glanced at everyone, and reminded them again: "There should be some barrier or formation around here, there may be sneak attacks, be careful."
The City Lord's Mansion has two entrances, a main gate and a back gate.
Several people were divided into two teams, the people from Xiaoyao Sect entered through the main gate, and the people from Tianjian Sect entered through the back gate.
After Jing Zhi and others left, a domineering sword energy was swung out from Ye Wumian's hand. The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was like a shoddy construction and was instantly split into two by the sword energy. The pillars, flowers, trees and other things visible to the naked eye behind the gate were all left with a deep shadow of the sword energy.
Ye Wumian looked at his sword and then at the vulnerable door.
His eyes were filled with confusion. Didn't the eldest senior brother say that there was something like a barrier in this place that could even block him?
He murmured, "Could it be???"
Nan Xiao and the others all turned their heads to look at him, thinking that he had discovered something, and waited earnestly for his next words.
Ye Wumian's eyes lit up, and he said confidently: "I am more powerful than the eldest brother."
Everyone: (..)
Su Xun hesitated to speak, and finally sighed: "Third Brother, sometimes, people should be more humble."
Nan Xiao forced a smile: "Third Brother is really amazing."
Lu Huai really didn't know what to say, so he patted his shoulder and, imitating Nan Xiao's previous behavior, manually gave him a thumbs up.
Jiang Xia left him a cold message: "Let's have another match when we get back."
Ye Wumian: “…”
I feel a chill on my back. What's going on?
As they were talking, they entered the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. It was smoother than expected and there was no resistance at all.
At a glance, there were a lot of fallen leaves piled up on the crooked corridor, and the gardens on both sides were overgrown with weeds. It seemed that they had been abandoned for a long time.
As they walked further in, there were more and more forks in the road, and finally the five people split into three groups to explore separately.
Su Xun and Ye Wumian are in one group, Nan Xiao and Lu Huai are in one group, and Jiang Xia is in a group alone.
Nan Xiao and Lu Huai checked the areas they were responsible for and found nothing abnormal.
"Let's go and find our brothers."
"Um."
Nan Xiao took Lu Huai across a yard and found Su Xun and the other two.
Everyone spread their hands, but no one found anything useful.
After that, they met Song Hui and others one after another, but the results were the same. Everyone could only pin their hopes on Jiang Xia, who did not show up in the end.
Jiang Xia was not surprised when he saw a group of people.
Although the City Lord's Mansion is large, as long as we are in the same space, meeting is inevitable.
"I don't have any clues."
Gu An: "Is it so mysterious?"
He looked at Jiang Xia, and with a little desire to survive, he asked tentatively: "Brother Jiang, is there a possibility that you remembered the wrong house?"
Although the City Lord's Mansion looks magnificent, there are many wealthy businessmen in Yuehua City, and there are many houses like this. Moreover, the visibility is poor at night, so it is possible that I remembered it wrongly.
Ye Wumian was about to say something back at him, but was pushed back by Jiang Xia.
It is normal for others to have doubts since they have not seen it with their own eyes.
He replied nonchalantly, "You have a point. Let's see tonight."
Although the group did not find anything unusual in the City Lord's Mansion during the day, for safety reasons, they chose to wait outside.
The people formed groups of two or three and hid themselves in the darkness.
Night fell as expected.
In the first half of the night, everything was normal except that the wind was a little eerie and scary.
Until the third watch, the bright moon above gradually changed from a crescent moon to a full moon.
A strange bell sound rang in everyone's ears, causing them to be in a trance for a moment.
Nan Xiao quickly used his spiritual power to isolate the sound.
She pushed Lu Huai beside her and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Lu Huai shook his head, his eyes clear: "I'm fine."
While the two were talking, the door of the City Lord's Mansion creaked open slowly from the inside.
In stark contrast to the desolate and desolate scene seen during the day, the City Lord's Mansion at night was lit by flickering lights. Dim light shone through the cracks in the door and window lattices, like prying eyes. Infused with a strange vitality, a faint, almost inaudible clamor emanated, exuding an indescribable eeriness.
The two looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
Wasn’t this gate destroyed by Third Senior Brother’s sword in broad daylight?
A chill ran up from the soles of her feet, and Nan Xiao seriously suspected that she had encountered a ghost.
This is not over yet, something even weirder happened.
Countless puppets without self-awareness poured out from the gate of the City Lord's Mansion, seemingly endless and continuous...
Not only Nan Xiao was shocked by this scene, but others were not much better.
Hearing Jiang Xia talk about it is one thing, and seeing it with your own eyes is another.
Everyone remembered the barrier and the sneak attack shadow that Jiang Xia mentioned, and they did not act impulsively. They left two people to observe on the spot to see if there was anything else coming out of the City Lord's Mansion.
The rest of the people followed these "people" to see what their purpose was.
A night passed, the sky was getting light, and the ringing sound Jiang Xia mentioned rang again. Everyone felt dazed again. When they suppressed this strange feeling, the dense crowd disappeared.
The gate of the City Lord's Mansion was once again half as dilapidated as it was yesterday.
It seemed that everything that happened last night was just their illusion.
