Chapter 554 Release them
Although Xie Chunqiu was lustful and cowardly, he was still commendable for his unwavering loyalty to his family.
After a moment's thought about Xie Chunqiu's expected reaction, Rong Xuan manipulated Xie Chunqiu inside the room to get up and suddenly open the door.
His movements were hurried and agitated, which was in line with his personality.
"Who dares to ruin my plans?!"
"Has anyone been caught?"
The steward outside wiped the sweat from his brow, looking flustered.
He had no choice but to interrupt the city lord's good deed at this time.
But those clam demons have one major problem: they can't explain themselves to the Xie family.
He was still very clear about who the real master was.
"They haven't caught him yet. That thief is very cunning. He attacked a guard, changed his clothes, and sneaked into the water dungeon during shift changes."
"Those clam demons should recognize him. After escaping, they joined forces with him to fight their way out of the prison."
"Lord Li has already gone after them."
"My lord, time is of the essence. If we do not quickly ask the two elders in the city to suppress them, Forget-Worry City is by the sea. Once they enter the sea, it will be difficult for us to bring them back."
"If we can't deliver enough high-quality pearls in three months, how are we going to explain it to our family?"
The steward spoke with sincerity, and Xie Chunqiu's eyes were dark and deep, showing no sign of anxiety.
He was jolted awake, suddenly feeling that the silence of the night was terrifying, as if even the wind was bypassing the courtyard.
He raised his eyes tremblingly, and a bright red puppet thread instantly pierced through his pupil, stabbing into his sea of consciousness along his eyeball.
The wicked steward, who had abused his power, collapsed to the ground. The last thing he saw was a spotless shoe stepping out of the room.
Time waits for no one, so Yun Yici said, "Senior Brother, please sit here for now. I'll go check on Xie Guanxuan."
Rong Xuan's puppet silk can remotely control these two puppets, but only if he sees and hears them in person can he make an appropriate reaction that will not be detected.
This also meant that he couldn't stray too far from the two puppets.
Yun Yici closed her eyes and contemplated the profound mystery. Her realm far surpassed that of the two elders of Wangyou City. Unless there were hidden Mahayana cultivators or above in the city, no one could discover her existence.
His divine sense extended infinitely, enveloping the entire city.
The movement of people on the street and their laughter filled my mind, a multitude of emotions intertwined—joy, sorrow, anger...
Yun Yici peeled back the layers, quickly finding the vibrations of clashing weapons among countless sounds, flesh pierced, interspersed with a desperate sob.
"Ah Xuan... let's go... you shouldn't have come."
"Go!"
Yun Yici turned her head to determine the direction, took out a black robe from her storage bag and put it on. She then used her ability to shrink the distance between places in a single step and arrived in an instant.
As she looked around, she saw a group of guards from the City of Forgetfulness surrounding a group of female demons.
Xie Guanxuan stood in front of them, but his injuries from the daytime had not yet healed and he had suffered new wounds. His spirit sword was stretched thin, barely managing to protect the people behind him.
The demonesses' magical artifacts were all confiscated, but they still resisted fiercely by using weapons conjured by their magic.
Yun Yici's sudden appearance shocked everyone.
Xie Guanxuan was momentarily dazed, then quickly said, "Senior!"
The familiarity in Xie Guanxuan's tone made the leader of the guards suddenly realize something was wrong.
He shouted, "We are the guards of Forget-Worry City. These clam demons have disobeyed the Xie family's orders, and we have been ordered to capture them."
"Fellow Daoist, please do not antagonize the Xie family!"
Yun Yici remained silent, but in the blink of an eye, his overwhelming aura pressed all the guards into the ground.
The guards, who had previously held a clear advantage, suddenly coughed up blood.
The leader endured the heaviest pressure, and blood flowed from his mouth and nose.
The terrifying pressure made him kneel down immediately: "Senior, spare my life!"
Unexpectedly, a surprisingly young female voice came from beneath the mysterious black robe: "You dare to call me a fellow Daoist?"
"This is a small punishment to serve as a great warning."
Leader Li secretly groaned, never expecting that this group of clam demons had a powerful backer who wasn't afraid of the Xie family, and he wondered which family it belonged to.
Now, whether he advances or retreats, he will lose his life.
His expression changed several times, but unexpectedly the man in black robes said again, "Your city lord has already made a decision about the Eastern Pearl. Release these clam demons."
