"Who are you? What are you trying to do by barging into the City Lord Manor?" With a flick of his hand, an immortal sword flew up and stopped less than two fingers wide in front of Shen Ying. He said sternly, "Speak!"
"Er …" Shen Ying paused. "Would you believe me if I said I was lost?"
"Lost in someone else's manor?" The man frowned and snorted. "Hmph, you're dressed in black and you're an Earth Immortal who just ascended. Don't think I don't know why you're here."
"That …" This was really just an ordinary black robe.
"I advise you to leave quickly. Don't even think about doing anything to the Heavenly Tower. Otherwise … don't blame me for being merciless."
"Heavenly Tower?" Shen Ying paused and looked behind him. Indeed, there was a tall building. It was pitch black and seemed to blend in with the night sky. If one did not look closely, one would not be able to see it.
"It's not easy for you to cultivate and you've just ascended. As long as you surrender, the City Lord will be lenient towards you, "the man said in a low voice, releasing his immortal pressure.
Shen Ying tilted her head but did not reply. She glanced behind him and suddenly said, "Well, do you know where the door is?"
"Are you still thinking of escaping?" The man frowned and glared at her. "There are many experts in the City Lord Manor. You'll be taken down before you even reach the front yard."
"Oh."
"If you understand, you'd better … Wait! What are you doing? "
Before he could finish speaking, the person opposite him suddenly walked straight toward him. The man's face paled and he shouted anxiously, "Stop right there. Don't come any closer. Do you hear me?!"
Shen Ying ignored him. She stepped out of the ground full of immortal swords as if they were nothing. She walked towards him and passed right through his body. Suddenly, the tall and handsome man's figure dissipated like smoke.
But the voice did not stop. He shouted anxiously, "Stop right there. Don't go near the Heavenly Tower. Do you hear me!"
"I say …" Shen Ying did not listen to him. Instead, she walked towards the tall building and pushed the door open. She said to the little figure sitting inside, "Little friend, next time you lie to people, remember to disguise your voice."
It was a strong young man in his twenties, but he had a childish voice, and it came from behind. She gave this dubbing a zero.
"You … you …" Sitting cross-legged in the middle of the room, the blue-clothed child's face was full of panic. His little hand trembled as he pointed at her in disbelief. "How did you break through the defensive array outside the door and my phantom?"
Shen Ying was stunned for a moment. Putting aside the fact that the phantom had failed, was there such a thing as a defense array?
"I say, little friend!" She walked straight in and saw that the child was trying to crawl back in fear. She couldn't help but reach out and pull him back. "Don't be afraid. Auntie just wants to ask you for directions. Tell me where the door is."
"You …" The child's eyes widened and he glanced at her suspiciously. "Are you really … just asking for directions?"
"Yes." She nodded seriously to show that she was not a strange auntie. "If you're willing, you can also tell me the direction of the city gate!"
"You … You're not going to catch me?" The child was even more confused. His little face was full of surprise.
"Why would I catch you?" She spread her hands.
The child was even more shocked. "You … really aren't here to take me away?"
"Yes." She nodded hard and added, "I'm quite poor. I can't afford to raise a child for the time being."
"Really?"
"Really, really. I promise in the name of Ultraman. Is that okay? Tell me where the door is? "
"…" What was Ultraman? The child was stunned for a moment. He let down his guard and glanced at her again before saying slowly, "This is the side courtyard at the back of the City Lord Manor. Behind it is Immortal Slaying Cliff. There's no exit. If you want to leave, you can only go through the front courtyard."
"Oh." She nodded. "Thank you, little friend!" She was about to get up.
"Wait …" The child suddenly pulled her back. He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well … you'd better go out later. My father and grandfather are in the front courtyard subduing demons. If you go out from here, they'll think you're an accomplice of the demon race and kill you together." He looked at her worriedly. He suddenly thought of something and immediately retorted, "I … I'm only reminding you because you're not particularly bad!"
"Alright, thank you!" Shen Ying smiled and reached out to rub his head. She thought for a moment and reminded him, "Well … there are more than ten people outside. They're dressed in the same black as me. They're real human traffickers. For safety's sake, you'd better hurry to the front courtyard to find your father and grandfather. "
"There are people in the side courtyard!" The child was shocked. "Are they all Earth Immortals?"
"Er … I think so," she said, completely unreadable.
"No wonder they can come in here." The array formation in the courtyard was targeted at Immortal Qi. The Earth Immortals who had just ascended still had some Spirit Qi. The Immortal Qi was not thick, so they could enter here without being detected by the array formation.
"Why don't you come with me?" She suggested.
The child's expression darkened. Even the light in his eyes dimmed. He pointed to his feet, feeling wronged. "I can't leave this array formation."
"…" Array formation? She looked down. Indeed, there was an array formation less than a meter in diameter where the child was sitting. If she did not look closely, she would not be able to see it.
"My grandfather set up a defensive array formation in Zhongguang Building. Even Earth Immortals would not be able to enter this building easily." He looked proud. After thinking for a moment, he added, "You don't count! Once the matter in the front courtyard is settled, they'll … "
Before he could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook. There was a loud boom from the right, like the sound of something exploding.
Shen Ying subconsciously stood up and looked outside, only to see that a sky full of black fog had suddenly appeared outside the courtyard, continuously surging towards them. In less than a moment, the area in front of them was pitch-black, even the moonlight could not be seen.
The black Qi squeezed in through the gaps in the door and the windows, bringing with it a bone-chilling cold. The temperature of the entire room dropped. The ground shook even more violently. There were signs that the building was going to collapse.
Shen Ying could not help but widen her eyes. What a huge … fog!
(⊙o⊙)
"I say, Little Peng … Eh?" Instinctively, she wanted to warn the child behind her, but found that his face had suddenly turned pale. Large beads of sweat were dripping from his forehead, as if he was suffering from some kind of pain. "What's going on? Little friend, are you alright? Don't scare me! "
The child's expression became more and more painful. His entire body was curled up into a ball. Blood kept seeping out of his body as he screamed in pain. Just as she was about to carry him, the array formation under his feet suddenly lit up. A pillar of light shot up into the sky. It broke through the roof and the entire house collapsed. The light around him grew brighter and brighter. Suddenly, the entire night sky was lit up.
Shen Ying's heart skipped a beat.
That … this child's parents wouldn't beat her up, would they?
