I knew clearly that I was being held hostage, but I didn't dare to look back because the other person's nails, as sharp as knives, were pressing against the spine below my neck. If I moved even the slightest, the other person's nails would pierce directly into my bones and kill me on the spot.
The man whispered, "Don't move yet, see if the girl below can see you."
When I subconsciously looked at Lu Xiaoying, she also looked up at me. I clearly felt that Lu Xiaoying and I were looking into each other's eyes, but she didn't notice my presence at all.
Lu Xiaoying stood there for just a moment before turning around and running towards the camp where Xuan Jingsi was stationed.
I then said, "Friend, what do you want to do?"
"Don't be in a hurry! After you finish looking at what's happening over there, we can talk slowly." The man said gloomily, "Close your eyes now, and you will soon see what's happening in the camp over there."
I closed my eyes as he said, but the scene in the camp appeared in front of me like a dream. The people of Xuanjing Division had gathered together. Xie Jingwen paced back and forth with his hands behind his back: "How is it? Has Xu Shan's injury been suppressed?"
A subordinate of Xuan Jing Division said: "It is impossible to suppress it. The opponent's Yin Qi is too pure and has already invaded Xu Shan's internal organs. If there is no way to remove the Yin Qi, Xu Shan's life may be in danger."
"Witchcraft!" Xie Jingwen gritted his teeth and said, "That Wu Zhao must be an evil sorcerer. When I get back, I will report it to the Killing Hall and kill that sorcerer!"
When I saw this, I couldn't help but feel murderous. He wanted to kill me, so why shouldn't I want to kill him
Xie Jingwen was furious when Lu Xiaoying turned around and asked, "What's going on?"
Xie Jingwen asked in return: "Did you catch up with Wu Zhao?"
Lu Xiaoying said: "Why are you so impulsive? I clearly calculated that Wu Zhaocai is our last chance of survival, why are you..."
Xie Jingwen roared, "From the perspective of Xuan Jing Division, what's wrong with me protecting my subordinates? Is it right to sacrifice my subordinates to help Wu Zhao find talents?"
Lu Xiaoying suppressed his anger and said, "Can't you discuss it calmly? If you force Wu Zhao, he will definitely resist. Besides, Wu Zhao..."
"Nothing..." Xie Jingwen interrupted, "Wu Zhao is a low-ranking gangster who doesn't care about anything except money and himself. I've seen a lot of people like him. If we don't control him, he won't cooperate with us sincerely. If he stabs us in the back at a critical moment, we will suffer even greater losses."
Lu Xiaoying was furious and asked, "Have you controlled him? Now that Wu Zhao has escaped, if he turns against us, how are we going to deal with him and the immortals joining forces?"
Xie Jingwen said coldly: "What can he do?"
"He is..." Lu Xiaoying swallowed the words back, obviously unwilling to reveal the secret of Half-Life Dao.
Seeing that Lu Xiaoying didn't say anything, Xie Jingwen said softly, "Xiaoying, I know that my actions were a bit impulsive, but I had no choice. I really don't trust Wu Zhao. Besides, we will be in danger every minute we stay. Otherwise, you can figure out how we can break through?"
Lu Xiaoying shook his head and said, "That's not possible. We sacrificed three people to find Wu Zhao using secret methods. Without his help, we would not be able to find a way out."
The hatred on Xie Jingwen's face flashed away, and he said gently: "Xiaoying, I know you are not a person who gives up easily. And the way of heaven will always leave a glimmer of hope. Can you try to calculate that glimmer of hope?"
Lu Xiaoying was silent for a while before saying, "Well, all right! You guys protect me, and I'll try to figure out a glimmer of hope."
Xie Jingwen was overjoyed and said, "Everyone come over here to protect Xiaoying. Even if we have to sacrifice all our people, we can't let Xiaoying get hurt."
Someone whispered, "Captain, what about Xu Shan?"
Xie Jingwen said in a deep voice: "Send Xu Shan to his death. It is better than letting the evil spirit enter his body and turn him into a ghost. A sorcerer should die with the dignity of a sorcerer."
Xu Shan, who was struggling just now, could not help but beg: "Captain, please forgive me! I have made so many contributions to the Xuan Jing Division over the years! Captain, please let me go, let me go, maybe I can still..."
Xie Jingwen shook his head and said, "Xu Shan, the subordinates of Xuan Jing Division would rather die than become ghosts. I want to let you go, but the rules of the sect forbid it. You can go on your way with peace of mind... Send him away."
When a subordinate of Xuan Jingsi gritted his teeth and pulled out a dagger to wipe Xu Shan's throat, Lu Xiaoying suddenly shouted: "Stop! Brother Jie, let him go, maybe he can find a way to survive in the mountains."
Seeing that Jie Jingwen was silent, Lu Xiaoying said again: "Wu Zhao is good at using Yin energy, maybe he is also a ghost sorcerer. If Xu Shan is full of resentment before his death, Wu Zhao might use his corpse to cause trouble. Let's let him go!"
Xie Jingwen then nodded and said, "For Xiaoying's sake, let him go!"
Xu Shan reluctantly stood up and said, "Miss Lu, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness! If I, Xu Shan, don't die, I will definitely repay you handsomely in the future."
After Xu Shan reluctantly saluted, without even looking at Xie Jingwen, he took the wooden stick handed to him by his former companion, supported his body and staggered out of the camp.
A murderous look flashed across Xie Jingwen's eyes, and he immediately said in a friendly manner: "Xiaoying, we all rely on you."
"I'll try my best." Lu Xiaoying sat cross-legged on the ground. When he used his "Heaven-defying Hand" to quickly deduce the secrets of heaven, the scene in front of my eyes was blank.
Only then did the man behind me laugh softly and say, "Did you see everything clearly? Now we can talk."
When I turned around and looked behind me, I saw an old lady in black squatting on a tree branch, pecking at her pipe: "Young man, don't be nervous. If grandma wanted to kill you, you would have died long ago. Just call me Grandma Dong."
I cupped my hands and said, "Grandma, you're asking me to look at this, right?"
Old Lady Dong smiled and said, "You and that girl named Lu Xiaoying are both capable people. We need someone to help us figure out some things. Whoever wins will stay; whoever loses will die!"
I said in a deep voice, "I heard that immortals are the most reasonable. Old lady, aren't you being too overbearing?"
Old Lady Dong smiled and said, "The immortals are indeed reasonable. But sometimes, you have to be the bad guys. None of those people from the Xuanjing Division will survive. Those who didn't kill Black Wolf will also have to suffer."
"I also saw what happened to Xiao Xinzi. You were able to control yourself, which shows that you still have some respect for the immortals. We let Xiao Xinzi find you just to help her get rid of her resentment."
Seeing that I didn't say anything, Old Lady Dong continued, "Let's put it this way! You have already offended that man surnamed Jie, and he is not a tolerant person. If you don't keep them all, the Xuan Jing Division will come to your door sooner or later. Even for your own sake, you have to take action."
I said in a deep voice: "What do you want me to do?"
Old Lady Dong pointed in the direction of the camp and said, "That girl over there is deducing the secrets of heaven. There is indeed a way out in this mountain. If she can't find the way out, you will die. If she can't find the way out, she will die. Have I made myself clear enough?"
Old Lady Dong is obviously threatening me. Regardless of my current situation, I have no choice but to take action just because Ye Jin is still in the other party's hands. Moreover, as she said, in order to eliminate future troubles, I must leave Xie Jingwen in the mountains.
"Okay! Then you protect me!" I jumped down from the tree, sat cross-legged with my back against the trunk, took three ghost coins from the Rakshasa and spread them flat on the ground.
A fortune teller can not only predict destiny, but also interfere with others' predictions. However, fortune tellers rarely do such things. Disrupting the destiny is equivalent to breaking up with the other party openly, and it is likely to end in a fight to the death.
But now I am fighting with the other party!
After a short moment, three ghost coins were floating in the air at the same time. Two of them separated to the left and right, obviously not wanting me to disturb Lu Xiaoying. Only one ghost coin with a faint red light moved in front of me.
He Zhenzhen
Probably He Zhenzhen is the only one who is willing to help me unconditionally.
Ignoring the buzzing sound of the other two ghost coins, I looked towards the center of the ghost coin circle, and Lu Xiaoying's figure soon appeared in front of me.
A whirlwind suddenly arose around Lu Xiaoying, and countless wind shadows visible to the naked eye whipped at Lu Xiaoying like long whips. The clothes behind him flew into the air like cotton wool blown by the wind, dancing wildly. A layer of clothes with a hidden silver glow also appeared behind Lu Xiaoying.
It turns out she was wearing body armor!
Yes! The Half-Life Dao's deduction of the secrets of heaven will bring punishment from heaven. Without armor to protect him, how long can a sorcerer last
But why didn’t our Wu family pass down something similar
This thought only flashed through my mind for a moment, and I cast my eyes on Lu Xiaoying's palm. Her heaven-defying hand has reached its peak, and now if she makes a mistake with her fingers, the previous deduction will be completely invalid.
At this time, even if someone yelled at her, it would wake her up from her concentrated calculations and make all her calculations go to waste. The "chaos" spell of Ghost Eye Money could indeed make a sound similar to a ghost screaming in her ears.
When I was about to use the ghost money to disrupt the other party's calculations, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind, and I pushed the ghost money floating in the air with my finger.
The first ghost coin slowly turned over in the air under the push of my fingers. I moved the second ghost coin to another direction. When I tried to touch the third ghost coin, it seemed to have taken root in the air and could not be moved at all.
Lu Xiaoying's calculations were about to end. If I didn't move the ghost money, I would have to watch her calculate a way out.
As the cold sweat rolled down my forehead, I couldn't help but roar, "Is this my martial arts world, or yours? Don't you know that I'm already in it? I have my own decisions, and I have my own persistence, why do you always interfere with me?"
