Chapter 46: I still want to live a few more days
Sang Ying was born as a proud child of heaven, with outstanding qualifications. Even though she suffered some injustices later on, she was never completely powerless.
It wasn't until she saw these mortals locked up like wild beasts that she realized how many times more fortunate she was than these mortals who couldn't cultivate.
In such a world of predators, Sang Ying could slowly become stronger and protect herself, while those mortals could only become mere fish in the hands of the monks, the humblest ants.
"Sang Ying, we can't stay here any longer. The city lord and the others will come back. We have to escape from here before we can make it known to the world that he colluded with the demon cultivator and used mortals to test the medicine!"
Nan Gurong reacted quickly, and his first thought was to take Sang Ying and escape.
The city lord Luo Fengyuan is currently a monk in the out-of-body stage, and there is no way that the two of them in the foundation-building stage can compete with him.
Sang Ying knew her own weight very well. After experiencing the Jackdaw Demon Lord, she was even more afraid to confront these powerful people.
The two of them collected some evidence in the stone room, waiting to be handed over to the right people so that they could seek justice for the villagers of Tingliu Village!
The underground palace built by Luo Fengyuan is very large. The front is where he handles affairs and trades with monsters. The stone room in the middle is where the medicine men are imprisoned, and the rear is connected to the moat outside.
As long as the two of them cross there and enter the moat, they will have a chance to leave the city lord's mansion and seek help from outside.
They have been delayed for a long time, and the fire outside may have been put out by this time. When everyone finds out that they are gone, they will inevitably find them inside the underground palace.
While Sang Ying was escaping with Nan Gurong, she tried her best to absorb the spiritual energy in the ice crystal so that she could have the strength to protect herself when in danger.
"I really didn't expect that today's monks have begun to follow such evil paths. They even dare to be friends with monsters and demon cultivators. Are you really not afraid of having their bones chewed?" Gu Shu in the spirit sword was still thinking about it.
The previous scene also left a shadow in the heart of this young sword spirit.
Sang Ying had no choice but to comfort it and assured it that she would definitely rescue those innocent people.
The sound of gurgling water reached their ears from afar. Sang Ying and Nan Gurong looked at each other, feeling a little surprised in their hearts.
The two of them were about to step forward quickly to see if there was an exit in front of them, when a sound of breaking through the air came from behind.
Sang Ying's hair stood up instantly. Before she could think about it, she subconsciously pushed Nan Gurong away, and the two of them narrowly avoided the blow.
The purple-black whip fell on the stone wall in front of them. The stone wall exploded instantly, and countless pieces of gravel scattered immediately. One piece even scratched Sang Ying's cheek, leaving a scar on Sang Ying's face.
A trace of blood.
She looked back and saw a middle-aged man in rich clothes holding a long whip and looking at them coldly. Next to him stood a man with golden vertical pupils. When he noticed that Sang Ying was looking at him
When he did, he opened his mouth slightly and spit out his slender snake letter.
This is probably the demon cultivator sent by the Red Snake Demon Clan to contact Luo Fengyuan. Those mortals locked in the cage are the masterpieces of him and the Jackdaw Demon Lord!
"You two are here, why are you leaving so soon?" The demon cultivator spoke first, with the same sticky tone as usual.
Luo Fengyuan withdrew his whip and frowned slightly: "What do you have to say to them? Get rid of them earlier so that you can concentrate on dealing with those two rogue cultivators."
It turns out that the young man in black has not been arrested yet. For some reason, Sang Ying was actually happy to hear these things.
"I know, I know." The demon cultivator waved his hands with a very impatient attitude, "Leave the sword wielder to me. I like the sword cultivator the most."
When he mentioned the word "eat", the demon cultivator's vertical pupils were bright, as if he remembered some wonderful past.
Sang Ying didn't think the demon cultivator was trying to scare people. The snake had probably swallowed many cultivators.
She looked at the sword in her hand and suspected that the sword would break soon.
"Remember to fight quickly!" Luo Fengyuan ordered again, and the slender whip went straight towards Nan Gurong's facade.
Nan Gurong is a medical practitioner and is not good at fighting with others.
Luo Fengyuan's whip came fast and hard. If it really fell on Nan Gurong, she would probably be killed on the spot.
Sang Ying didn't have time to think too much and quickly stepped away to block it.
But the demon cultivator came up to block the road at the critical moment and intercepted Sang Ying so that she had no time to save her.
Seeing that the whip was about to fall on Nan Gurong, Sang Ying didn't even dare to look down.
At this moment, a jade-white hand grabbed the whip and stopped Lord Luo's attack.
Everyone's eyes turned to the owner of that hand, and that unforgettable face soon fell into their eyes.
This was the first time that Sang Ying looked at the other person so seriously. Previously, she was busy running for her life, and it was dark outside, so she didn't even see clearly what this person looked like.
Now when I take a closer look, I can see that this casual cultivator's demeanor is on par with Gu Huaiwei's, and even looks more refined than his cheap master.
Everyone was startled by his sudden attack, but he still had time to joke with Sang Ying. As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked: "Didn't you tell me you were running away? Why did you run around and get into this underground palace?"
Already?"
If he hadn't seen Sang Ying running around in the city lord's palace, so he coaxed his friend to follow her, this girl would probably have died here quietly.
Tsk, tsk, tsk, today’s sword cultivators are really braver than the last!
Sang Ying didn't know the emotion in the heart of the young man in black. She only saw Luo Fengyuan and the demon cultivator's faces becoming more and more ugly because of the young man.
"Si Jing, are you determined to go against me? I wanted to marry my daughter to you in vain, and this is how you repay me?" Luo Fengyuan raised his hand to take back the whip, but the young man opposite him grabbed it.
He was so firmly entrenched that he couldn't even move an inch.
The city lord licked his molars and felt a little regretful. After all, it was he who personally brought the person in front of him and kidnapped him back to the city lord's mansion.
The young man in black named Si Jing smiled slightly, but what he said was very irritating: "I can't afford to marry the city lord's daughter. I will beat her with a whip at every turn, and I will have my husband buried with me a hundred years later. I
Although I can’t become an immortal, I still want to live longer.”
After saying that, he threw away the whip himself.
Such an action made Luo Fengyuan blush instantly.
"Hey, where did this reckless young man come from? He dared to speak to City Lord Luo like this. Is this the attitude he should have towards his elders?" With the new arrival, the demon cultivator naturally stopped talking to Sang Ying and twisted her around.
Luo Fengyuan stood beside him and confronted Si Jing with him.
Sang Ying took the opportunity to hide behind Si Jing and protect Nan Gurong.
Si Jing calmly stood in front of them while continuing to reply: "Whether it should be done or not, this is my attitude anyway. City Lord Luo hasn't spoken yet, how could it be your turn to be neither yin nor yang?"
A monster?"
