Chapter 147: The disappearance of Wuyuecheng
Qu Ningran and others were far away, and only Li Nian, who was closest to them, heard it. Her pupils shrank and her hands trembled unconsciously.
When Qu Ningran took Bu Wanqiao away, Li Nian stood there in a daze. She had a hunch that this lady seemed to know her.
Yue Jian frowned, touched Li Nian's head, and said softly, "Junior Sister, what's wrong?"
Facing Yue Jian's slightly worried gaze, Li Nian finally came back to her senses and shook her head.
Just as he was about to say something, the door on the first floor was broken open from the outside and several people rushed in.
The battered cultivators breathed a sigh of relief as if they had seen the light, and fell to the ground gasping for air.
Li Nian's eyes lit up, "Senior brothers are here."
After Bai Ji and a group of disciples broke down the door, they successfully entered the Half Moon Pavilion. He quickly looked around and saw some dead, some injured, and the place was in chaos.
When he looked up and saw Li Nian standing upstairs, he felt relieved, but then he saw Yue Jian.
His beautiful peach blossom eyes blinked, then dimmed a little. He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and turned to give instructions to the people behind him.
"Work in pairs, investigate whether there are any demonic cultivators lurking nearby, and investigate their purpose."
Ye Zhanying and others who arrived looked at Li Nian and Yue Jian above, then followed the instructions to form teams and turned to walk out.
Yanzhou and Jiang Yuxia stopped here. Jiang Yuxia rushed over and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Li Nian was still standing.
"What are you doing? Do you have to perform Fast and Furious every time?" Jiang Yuxia was so angry that she wanted to beat Li Nian to death.
Li Nian's face fell when he heard this. "I just came out to watch the auction, who knew I'd run into these demon cultivators?"
"Your hand is injured."
The boy's voice was always cold, but now it was tinged with a hint of worry, and his pure black eyes looked closely at Li Nian.
It would be fine if I didn't say it. Once I started talking about it, I felt a sharp pain in my hands, as if my skin was being torn open over and over again.
Li Nian gasped in pain, "This was caused by a ghost cultivator using the Blood Shadow Purgatory Whip."
Bai Ji frowned, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "Junior Sister, go back to the inn to heal your wounds first. We will take care of this."
Li Nian pursed his lips and quickly told them what had just happened, his expression somewhat solemn.
"Brother, ghost cultivators have also gotten involved in this matter, you must be careful."
Bai Ji nodded, drove away Jiang Yuxia and Yanzhou who were about to speak, and looked at Yue Jian beside him.
"Senior Sister, why don't you accompany Junior Sister back to the inn and have a good rest."
Upon hearing this, Yue Jian looked at him quietly, her expression cold and indifferent, without a trace of warmth. She nodded slightly, then turned and went downstairs.
When Li Nian saw this scene, he suddenly looked at Bai Ji and saw the man's gloomy look.
She pursed her lips, leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Brother, what's going on between you and sister?"
Bai Ji sighed slightly, suppressed the emotion in his eyes, and chuckled, "You're already injured, and you still want to listen to gossip. Why don't you go back quickly?"
Li Nian looked at Bai Ji's expression again, then turned around and went downstairs to look for Yue Jian.
On the way back, Li Nian glanced at Yue Jian from time to time, with a very conflicted look, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.
After a while, Yue Jian sighed helplessly, "Tell me, what do you want to ask?"
Li Nian smiled with his eyes curved, and without blinking, "Senior Sister, did you have a fight with Senior Brother?"
Yue Jian's expression remained calm, "No."
"Did Senior Brother upset you?"
"Nothing."
Li Nian blinked his eyes and said shockingly, "Is it because Senior Brother likes you?"
Yue Jian's eyes widened slightly, and he paused, his expression a little unnatural, "Don't talk nonsense."
As soon as Li Nian saw Yue Jian's expression, he knew it was almost certain. It was around this time in his previous life that his senior sister discovered that his senior brother admired her.
Li Nian looked at Yue Jian and tilted his head, "Then why is Senior Sister blushing?"
Yue Jian: “…”
She hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "Did he tell you?"
Li Nian shook his head and chuckled, "I saw it myself. Senior Brother wants to stick to you for twelve hours a day."
Yue Jian's pale eyes were tinged with confusion, and she said softly, "I... don't know."
As the two were talking, they happened to walk to an alley, and Li Nian suddenly remembered that the three-day appointment was coming up.
She said to Yue Jian, "Senior Sister, please accompany me to a place first."
After saying that, he took Yuejian around and around until he arrived at the place where he had met Cao Wang and others last time.
Sure enough, the three teenagers were already squatting on the ground, forming a circle.
Just as she was about to speak, Cao Wang saw her with his sharp eyes, grabbed her arm, and tears were about to flow.
"Hero, please save Shi Yang and Tan Jie. They have been captured."
Li Nian was startled. "Don't be impatient. Speak slowly."
Li Feidao walked over and pulled Cao Wang away. The boy's eyes were slightly red and his voice was trembling.
"Last night, a few of us were sleeping in the house when we suddenly heard a noise. When we opened our eyes, we saw several men in black. They immediately took away Shi Yang and Tan Jie, and we couldn't stop them."
Li Nian frowned and found that Santian had some wounds on his body. Considering what he heard that night, he was afraid that the demons had taken action.
As expected, Huo Yu on the side also said, "In the past few days, there have been frequent independent cultivators entering and leaving Wuyue City, and... many people have disappeared. At first, they thought it was just an accident."
Li Nian and Yue Jian looked at each other and saw seriousness in each other's eyes.
"Are there any characteristics of the missing people?"
Huo Yu thought for a moment, "Men, women, young and old, there are people missing. It seems... the eight points in the center of Wuyue City are the missing. Does this count?"
Yue Jian asked from the side, "Did those people hurt those two when you resisted?"
"No, they knocked Shi Yang and the others unconscious. After shaking us off, they went to the next house to arrest someone."
Cao Wang shed tears beside him, his voice tinged with sobs, "The whole village has been arrested... Wuuuuu... Hero, please save them."
Li Nian looked at the three helpless teenagers and sighed softly, "Why don't you come with me? We are from the Tianyan Sect and can protect your safety."
Li Feidao was stunned. "What about our friends? Will they die?"
Li Nian shook his head and said truthfully, "I don't know for now, but we will definitely try our best to save them."
In this way, Yuejian and Li Nian returned to the inn with the three little tails.
Li Nian had just sat down to take a breath when Yu Feichen started crying and hugged Li Nian, "Wow, I thought you were dead!"
Li Nian: “…”
She pushed the man's head out and rolled her eyes speechlessly, "I'm alive and well, don't curse me."
Yu Feichen's face wrinkled into a ball. He said seriously, "Don't worry, I will make sure my father gives you all the spirit stones. I will give you enough."
