Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity
Chapter 659 Hidden Trap
Ultimately, after discussion among the three, a condition was reached.
The two could lead their men to evacuate, but this was only a feigned evacuation; their main force remained hidden within the city.
Create a false impression for Elder Wu to see if he really intends to take action against Sanling Town.
If Elder Wu still dared not make a move under these circumstances, Wang Haitang would no longer insist that the two of them stay to protect Sanling Town.
Li Muling naturally agreed, since he could easily ruin the plan with just a letter.
However, as Li Muling left the city lord's mansion, he saw a man in a cloak staring straight at him.
Li Muling felt a little uncomfortable being stared at. He frowned and stared at the man for a while, feeling that the man seemed somewhat familiar, as if he had seen him somewhere before.
However, after watching for a while, the man turned and left.
Li Muling didn't take it to heart, assuming he was just a passerby.
Upon returning home, Li Muling immediately informed Yu Changsheng of the news.
As for how Yu Changsheng would deal with it, he couldn't care less.
After the letter was sent out, Li Muling called out, and soon Xie Yuan, who had changed his clothes, walked in.
He placed the tea on the table and then waited quietly.
Xie Yuan's eyes were lifeless, and his face had an oddly yellowish tinge.
His every move seemed somewhat sluggish.
Li Muling looked at the man in front of him and waved.
Unexpectedly, Xie Yuan knelt down directly in front of Li Muling, and Li Muling placed his feet directly on Xie Yuan's back.
Even with such humiliation, Xie Yuan remained completely unresponsive.
"It seems that the puppets made by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion are indeed top-quality. Not only do they have no self-awareness, but they can also obey their master's every word."
"It has hardly affected its own strength. I have to say, although the price is expensive, it is still worth it."
Li Muling patted Xie Yuan's face with his foot and snorted coldly:
"I know you deliberately became my slave to find a chance for revenge. Do you really think I'm a fool?"
"You never expected I'd turn you into a puppet, did you?"
Li Muling stood up, stomped on Xie Yuan's head twice more, and only left after realizing the hatred in his heart.
outside the city.
One after another, many cultivators began to leave Sanling Town, including a large number of independent cultivators and cultivators from the two major families.
Many people were discussing it, wondering what had happened and thinking that the two families were about to take action against some target again.
The cloaked man sat at the city gate, pulling up weeds and carefully counting the number of people.
It is unknown how much time has passed, but the cultivators from those two families have long since disappeared.
Many people watching the commotion at the city gate were also surprised.
They never expected there to be so many cultivators in Sanling Town; they hadn't noticed at all before.
This number is at least a thousand cultivators.
Although there are thousands of cultivators, it is nothing in the vast Sanling Town, which has a population of over 100,000 and tens of thousands of cultivators.
Hundreds or thousands of cultivators are naturally not worth mentioning.
The key point is that all of these cultivators are highly skilled.
They were at least at the Foundation Establishment stage, most were Golden Core cultivators, and there were even dozens of Purple Mansion cultivators.
Although no Nascent Soul cultivator was seen among them, the power was still quite terrifying.
With such a large number of cultivators leaving Sanling Town, many people realized that the rumors were true; otherwise, how could there be so much more power in the city?
Inside the cave.
Yu Changsheng naturally received this news as well.
The cultivators in Sanling Town seemed to have finally lost their patience and were preparing to leave the town and return to their respective places.
Yu Jie immediately ran over excitedly and asked:
"Mr. Zhou, it seems those guys have finally lowered their guard and left. When should we make our move?"
Yu Jie was genuinely excited because he had finally gotten his chance to take revenge; how could he not be thrilled?
However, Yu Changsheng raised his hand and pressed down on him to calm him down.
He then added, "What's the rush? It's still early."
"Huh? Haven't the Xuanyuan and Li families already left Sanling Town? Isn't now the perfect time to attack?"
"What if they come back? Wouldn't that be even more difficult to deal with? Who knows when we'll have to wait again?"
Yu Changsheng said, "Hehe, if you go now, you'll be falling into their trap."
"Don't you even consider him? They've been waiting in the city for so long, are you just going to leave like this?"
Ding Xuan also realized what was happening at this moment.
"Mr. Zhou, are you saying they deliberately left to lure us into a trap?"
Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "That's right, exactly. If they really want to leave, they will definitely leave secretly, without letting so many people know."
"This is the only way to intimidate Elder Wu to the greatest extent. Making such a big fuss now, as if they're afraid others won't know, isn't it just a deliberate attempt to lure them in?"
Ding Xuan also realized, "These guys are really despicable."
Yu Changsheng laughed and said, "Hehe, in short, now is not the time to make a move. Let's wait a little longer."
Ding Xuan nodded in agreement. Yu Changsheng stood up and said, "Let's go get some fresh air. It's really getting a bit stifling to stay cooped up in this cave."
However, just as the two reached the cave entrance, they heard an argument outside.
Upon seeing this, Ding Xuan hurriedly went outside.
Before long, they heard shouting outside. Yu Changsheng was curious and immediately followed.
There were many people lying on the ground, and it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.
Ding Xuan and several others were doing their best to use magic to save people.
Even Nascent Soul cultivators like Du Xingcai were disturbed and came out. Seeing the cultivator on the verge of death on the ground, they immediately took action to treat him.
Yu Changsheng leaned closer and immediately felt that the cultivator on the ground looked somewhat familiar.
However, when he walked up to a tall woman, he realized that these people were indeed cultivators from the Xie family.
The woman was none other than Xie Quanling.
Yu Changsheng stepped forward to check her complexion. Her face was as pale as paper, almost bloodless, and she had many wounds on her body, indicating that she was seriously injured.
Others nearby were still treating the wounded.
Yu Changsheng was about to ask how these people got here, and if anyone knew the situation and could tell him.
Suddenly, several dark figures approached rapidly from a distance.
"Enemy attack!"
Soon, cultivators of higher realms issued an alarm.
Yu Changsheng, without suspecting anything, immediately summoned Du Xingcai and said:
"Work together to take them down. Don't let a single one escape, or this place will be in danger!"
Du Xingcai immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.
These people must have been brought here by the Xie family.
There was no time to say anything about blaming anyone; Du Xingcai immediately led his men to deal with the situation.
Above the sky, numerous cultivators rushed up, one of them shouting:
"They're all hiding here. Kill them all, leave no one alive!"
The man was unaware of how many cultivators were hidden here, as it was a stronghold of the Xie family.
However, when they saw who it was, they were all dumbfounded.
The number of cultivators here far exceeded their expectations.
In particular, the aura emanating from the leader gave off the feeling of a Nascent Soul cultivator!
Yu Changsheng also joined the battle at this moment, set his sights on a target, and directly attacked with the sword he had been using as a disguise.
The sword intent of the Primordial Creation Sword was unleashed, instantly killing the opponent.
Soon, the battle in the sky turned into a one-sided crushing defeat, as the pursuers were not particularly strong.
The number was also very limited. Before long, the battle was nearing its end. Yu Changsheng deliberately held back and captured a few prisoners to interrogate them.
As for the others, their entire families were slaughtered.
After dealing with the pursuers, Yu Changsheng ordered Du Xingcai to send a few people to scout the surrounding area.
To avoid being inspected by others, this cave must not be exposed.
I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.
Du Xingcai, naturally without suspicion, immediately ordered his men to do as instructed.
Subsequently, the two subdued all the prisoners, restricted their cultivation, and then took them into the cave to imprison them.
Yu Changsheng instructed Ding Xuan and the others to interrogate these people about their identities and origins.
He then asked, "How are Xie Quanling and the Xie family doing?"
Yu Jie shook his head and said, "The situation is not good. I asked someone who was still breathing and found out that the young lady went to the manor to rescue people."
"Save people? Save what people?"
Yu Changsheng was also puzzled. Could it be that there were still survivors from the Xie family's attack on the manor?
However, under such circumstances, even rushing to rescue someone would be extremely dangerous, and would only endanger other people who were trying to save them.
"They're going to steal the corpses of those killed by the Li family! Miss doesn't want to see the Xie family treated like this, and wants to burn those corpses."
"Unexpectedly, the Li family was still lying in wait there. Miss and the others also fell into an ambush."
Yu Changsheng asked, "Then how did they escape?"
Yu Jie said, "When they were in dire straits, someone suddenly came to their aid and even helped them destroy all the corpses from Xiejiaxi River to prevent them from being further humiliated."
Yu Changsheng nodded. It seemed there were indeed people who couldn't stand it.
"What is the background of that expert? Do you know?"
Yu Jie shook his head and said, "He didn't know either. After that expert helped them escape, he started fighting with the other cultivators from the Li family."
"Some people continued to hunt down the young lady, which is why she had no choice but to run here for help."
Yu Changsheng said, "Alright, let's take them into the cave to recover first. We'll talk about it later."
Not long after, Ding Xuan, who had gone to interrogate her, also returned.
Those people were very open-minded and told everything they knew with almost no resistance.
These people were naturally from the Li family; they knew that the remnants of the Xie family would definitely make a move.
Therefore, they had set up an ambush early on, waiting for the remaining members of the Xie family to walk into their trap.
Who would have thought that a master would suddenly appear out of nowhere?
With the meticulous care of Ding Xuan and Yu Jie, Xie Quanling woke up in less than two days.
However, after waking up, Xie Quanling fell back into the same closed-off state as before.
This time, no matter how Ding Xuan and Yu Jie tried to persuade them, it was to no avail.
Yu Changsheng decided not to let the two waste any more time.
Few people could withstand such a series of blows.
Yu Changsheng said, "Sigh, you two will just have to work harder these days and keep an eye on her more."
"yes!"
The two men naturally had no complaints; seeing their young lady in such a state, they couldn't bear to watch any longer.
After several days of recuperation, many of the Xie family cultivators have almost fully recovered.
Many people have started to be able to walk, but they still limp.
As Ding Xuan watched these people walking around outside, waves of sadness welled up in her heart.
The Xie family was once incredibly powerful, the strongest of the four great families.
But now, there are only a handful of people left.
Moreover, they were all injured, and there weren't many who could fight.
Such a huge change, happening in just two months, left Ding Xuan feeling dazed.
At this moment, Yu Changsheng also came over.
"They seem to be recovering well."
Ding Xuan sighed, "This is a stroke of luck amidst misfortune. Everyone is recovering well. Although they were all seriously injured that day, they all managed to pull through. It's not easy."
Yu Changsheng asked, "Is there any news about that mysterious expert? If we can gain his support, our chances of winning this battle will be much greater."
Ding Xuan shook her head. "I asked a cultivator from the Xie family. The situation was too urgent that day, and no one thought of asking that expert for a communication jade slip."
"And that expert never showed up again afterward."
Yu Changsheng then asked, "Have the people sent by the park to investigate returned?"
Ding Xuan immediately pulled out a communication jade slip and handed it over, saying, "We already have some news."
"After the expert covered the young lady's escape that day, he slaughtered everyone in the park before leaving without leaving any trace."
"Even if we wanted to contact them, we couldn't."
Yu Changsheng was extremely helpless; it seemed that it would be very difficult for him to contact the other party.
However, it's not entirely hopeless. Perhaps we can find another way to lure that person out, but that carries a certain risk.
Yu Changsheng immediately sent another message to Li Muling via jade slip.
In the city lord's palace.
Li Muling's curses continued incessantly.
The maids and guards outside the house also looked terrified, fearing they would be implicated.
Li Muling beat Xie Yuan half to death, leaving him limp on the ground.
Even so, Li Muling still didn't let Xie Yuan off the hook, and proceeded to punch and kick him.
After venting his frustrations, Li Muling finally sat down and let out a long sigh.
At this moment, the guards at the gate delivered the communication jade slip that had been sent earlier.
Li Muling waved his hand, signaling him to leave.
After looking at the contents, Li Muling's eyes widened instantly.
"Xie Quanling, I never expected to be caught! This is truly a stroke of luck! Hahahaha!"
Li Muling immediately burst into laughter.
Xie Yuan beneath my feet seemed to twitch slightly, but quickly became unresponsive again.
Li Muling didn't notice this and continued reading the contents of the letter.
"Hehe, Zhou Wangzhi has given me a pleasant surprise; I didn't expect him to even help me find someone from the Xie family." (End of Chapter)
