As soon as she finished speaking, Li Yu's left eye flashed with golden light, and she quietly withdrew the golden threads binding Xu Qun:
"Contact Bai Ya now and find a reason that will make him come to Ningcheng immediately."
Xu Qun's eyes were filled with fear: "Now?"
Li Yu looked down at him, her eyes turning icy: "Now! If Bai Ya comes, you can live. If he doesn't..."
He paused, feeling the cool air falling from above:
"...Then you can stay in Ningcheng's rain forever with the Ye family."
These words, like the whisper of death, exploded in the ears of everyone in the Changsheng Sect!
"I'll contact them! I'll contact them right now!" Xu Qun's aged face was deathly pale, completely lacking his previous composure. Faced with such a disparity in strength, he really had no other choice but to survive.
Under Li Yu's gaze, Xu Qun's forehead was covered in a mixture of sweat and rain.
Feeling the restraints on his body disappear, he trembled as he began to gather energy. As his superpower was successfully activated, a rain raven made entirely of purple energy instantly materialized in his hand, lifelike as if it were alive.
This is Xu Qun's special ability; transmitting information in this way can also indirectly prove his identity.
I never expected that this ability would be used under duress.
Xu Qun took a deep breath, trying to make his voice sound panicked, and then, carrying crucial information, cried out to the rain crow:
"Something has happened in Ningcheng! The Ye family is in chaos, the sea beast is seriously injured, and the situation is critical. The Changsheng Sect is willing to offer one qualification to request assistance! Come quickly!"
He deliberately obscured the reasons and only stated the key points.
The last phrase, "qualification for immortality," is what truly commands the attention of the Deepsea Watchers and the White Raven.
After the sound was recorded, the rain crow immediately flapped its wings and took flight, disappearing into the rain and vanishing into the horizon in the blink of an eye.
Xu Qun lowered his head, not daring to look Li Yu in the eye: "The message has been sent, but I really can't guarantee whether Bai Ya will come, or when he will come."
Li Yu nodded and patted his shoulder lightly, but it made Xu Qun tremble all over, because he felt as if the energy in his body had instantly sunk to the bottom and there was no more feedback.
"Very good." Li Yu withdrew her hand, her tone returning to a somewhat languid tone, mimicking Xu Qun's words:
"Until Bai Ya arrives, you should stay in Ningcheng and 'rest' properly. As for when you'll be able to leave alive... well, I can't guarantee that either."
Li Yu turned around and raised her voice to Lu Fan:
"It seems I'll have to stay in Ningcheng for a few more days. Maybe I can even catch a big fish."
Seeing that Li Yu and Lu Fan remained in Ningcheng, seemingly still planning to fight the Deepsea Watchers, Li Yang pondered for a moment, then stepped forward and said:
"In that case, I'll stay too."
Li Yang believed that although his strength was far inferior to Li Yu's, he was proficient in formations and might be able to help in some way.
The Deepsea Watchers are a very active organization recently, so they must be hiding some powerful trump cards.
Lu Fan agreed with Li Yang's point and was about to nod when he saw Li Yu suddenly turn to look at Li Yang, waving her hand in a somewhat urgent manner in refusal:
"How can that be! I appreciate your kindness, Li Yang, but there's really no need for you to stay."
Li Yu spoke several seconds faster:
"A mere white crow is nothing more than a fish in a jar! Lu Fan and I can handle it perfectly well. You should return to Yangcheng as soon as possible and send someone to deliver the money to Kangcheng immediately."
Li Yu took a step closer, lowered her voice, and her burning eyes held an undisguised urging:
"Oh, and most importantly, deliver it safely. Remember to send plenty of Awakened Ones to escort it, making sure everything goes smoothly! Be extremely careful on the road!"
Li Yu's complete 180-degree turn in attitude left Li Yang stunned on the spot.
It wasn't until Li Yu told him to hurry back and send more people to escort the money, his eyes filled with concern for its safety, that Li Yang realized what was happening. He was speechless for a moment, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Only now did he realize that the severity of Li Yu's 'weakness' far exceeded his imagination, reaching an unbelievable level, forming an absurd yet stark contrast with Li Yu's unfathomable strength.
Seeing Li Yu's anxious appearance and Li Yang's astonished reaction, even the usually aloof Lu Fan couldn't help but smile slightly and chuckle to himself.
Seeing the shocked looks on their faces, Li Yu realized that she had lost her composure and could only cough to quickly compose herself.
Li Yu tried to change the subject, so he looked back at the Changsheng Sect members not far away and said:
"Let's lock them up first, and then have someone keep a close watch on them."
"Hmm." Lu Fan was about to signal the Thunder Bureau people to come and take over, but Li Yu raised her hand to stop him.
"etc."
Li Yu shifted her gaze to the side, looking at Fan Meng, the somewhat uneasy boy beside Xiao Hei, and gave him an encouraging smile:
"Fan Meng, show them what you can do. Just build a temporary detention place. The requirements are not high. It just needs to be sturdy. It doesn't need to be too fancy."
"Okay...okay," Fan Meng replied timidly, knowing she probably had no other choice.
However, he also realized that this was a moment that would determine his future and an opportunity to prove his worth, so he dared not be careless in the slightest.
Fan Meng took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
Then he walked to the open space in front of the ruins, pressed his hands to the ground, concentrated his mind, mobilized all the energy in his body, and activated his ability with all his might.
"rise!"
Useful materials from the surrounding ruins floated over and were quickly combined, piled up, and solidified.
The walls rose from the ground, and the structure quickly took shape.
Soon, a windowless building with a cold and austere style, even resembling a confinement cell, stood before everyone.
Its architectural style is somewhat similar to the place where Lu Fan was previously imprisoned, only on a much smaller scale.
Lu Fan didn't seem to notice anything, but a look of surprise flashed in Li Yang's eyes.
I never expected Li Yu to have such a good eye for talent, taking in such a young person so early on.
It's important to understand that skills related to architects are considered a strategic resource anywhere.
Li Yu surveyed the hastily constructed "temporary prison" with satisfaction, showering it with praise:
"Excellent, very efficient, and the structure is solid. Fan Meng, you have great potential and a bright future ahead of you."
Fan Meng breathed a sigh of relief and forced a smile. Anyway, he was controlled wherever he went.
Now that the Ye family has been wiped out, relying on the stronger Li Yu doesn't seem so bad.
However, he'll have to move to another city again...
After temporarily imprisoning the members of the Longevity Sect in this newly built stone prison, the golden silk bindings were not removed.
Li Yu needed to ensure that no one from the Changsheng Sect could escape before the White Crow arrived.
Looking at the small building in front of him, Li Yu pondered to himself, hoping that Bai Ya would really come.
Otherwise, he would have no choice but to hand these members of the Longevity Sect over to the monk Jingshi for 'deliverance'...
