Chapter 177: Sound from east to west is probably a trap
On the side of the dungeon, the original five disciples of the Annihilation Palace had already found a way out in the dungeon, and it was easy to deal with those guards, but when they escaped from the dungeon according to the plan and were about to leave the city, the south sky came to hear the wind, and found them on the side of the city gate, and was about to take them all down, one of the disciples of the Annihilation Palace specially stayed in place and entangled with him in order for the others to leave smoothly, so as to delay the departure of the others.
But he is not Nankong Qian's opponent at all, Nankong Qian has already seriously injured him with just one sword, and the others have already evacuated quickly, after that, Wei Xi saw that the poisonous scorpion had run away, and felt that it was not appropriate to spend any more energy chasing it, so he hurriedly turned back to Jiangling City, so as not to give people a voice.
And at that time, because the disciple dragged Nankong Qian with his life, the other disciples were able to escape, Nankong Qian wanted to chase after him, but found that Wei Xi was not there, so he guarded the city gate first, and waited for Wei Xi to come back and ask about the situation.
Because Hanyang City is also heavily guarded, and it is expected that the existence of the deputy heads of Tianmen and Qilin Gate is expected, the people of the Annihilation Palace do not dare to go there, they are already at the junction of Hanyang City and Jiangling City, and they can't catch up with Wei Xi and Nankong Qian for a while.
Bai Ningxi felt that the escape of so many of them would definitely attract attention, so he planned to divide the troops into two ways, with Dugu Hanqiu and Qianfanmeng taking Bai Nianchen to leave Dongchen first, while he was going to attract the attention of those people, but Bai Nianchen instantly retorted-
"No, although your cultivation realm has reached the level of confusion, but Nankong Qian has been cultivating in Hanyan Peak for many years, you must not be his opponent, not to mention, although the guards of Jiangling City do not understand spells, they are excellent in all martial arts, if they really fight, how can you fight them alone!"
"Yes, young palace master, I have already seen the swordsmanship of the southern sky, when it comes to fighting alone, you have no chance of winning, not to mention Wei Xi and many guards, let me go." Dugu Hanqiu also hurriedly spoke up, and Qianfan immediately said to him when he saw the situation, "Then I'll go with you, in case you are in danger, I can also help you get out." β
And Bai Ningxi didn't shirk it when she heard this, and directly said to the two of them, "That's okay, then you two go, attract their attention, so that my father and I can leave Dongchen safe and sound, and after that, we still meet in Nanchu, understand?"
"Yes, Young Palace Master. β
After that, Bai Ningxi took Bai Nianchen and left again, and Dugu Hanqiu and Qianfan suddenly walked in the opposite direction after seeing each other's heads.
Gangneung City Gate -
"These Youyangqu people are too bold, they actually dare to openly rob the prison, how did they sneak into Jiangling City, didn't anyone find out?" Nankong Qian leaned over to inspect the corpse that had just died under his sword, and then looked in the direction where the rest of the people had fled, and when he turned his head and wanted Wei Xi to send someone to chase him, he saw a serious and frowning expression.
"What's wrong with you?" Nankong asked in a shallow voice, and Wei Xi lowered his head with a nervous and serious expression, he slowly opened his mouth and said word by word, "Young City Lord, these are not Youyangqu's people. β
"It's not Youyangqu, who is that?Isn't that poisonous scorpion only friendly with Youyangqu's people?Who else will come to save him besides Youyangqu's people?" Nan Kong Qian looked puzzled, but Wei Xi slowly raised his head, and looked at Nan Kong Qian and slowly explained their origins-
"They are the people of the Destruction Palace. β
"What?" Nankong was startled, "You mean, the person who came to save the poisonous scorpion was the Extinction Palace?"
"Hmm. Wei Xi nodded, Nankong looked incredulous, "How is this possible!The poisonous scorpion has been working for the Lu family for so many years, and he has only heard of his relationship with Youyangqu, and has never heard of any connection between them and the Annihilation Palace, why did the people from the Annihilation Palace come to save the poisonous scorpion?"
"This ...... The subordinates are not clear for the time being. Wei Xi shook his head blankly, Nankong Qian suddenly fell into contemplation, and after a while, he asked again, "By the way, since the poisonous scorpion was locked up in the dark room, has the defense in the dungeon changed?"
"Of course there is! Because there is such a big thing today, so the subordinates not only replaced all the guards in the dungeon, even if the city lord set up multiple protective enchantments at the door of the dark room, but the subordinates did not dare to slack off, the subordinates not only sent additional personnel near the dark room of the poisonous scorpion, in order to prevent accidents, the subordinates also asked Mrs. Youluo for some more thousand bone grass juice, for those guards, besides, the subordinates will also go to check from time to time, but I don't know, those people are so familiar with the deployment of the dungeon. β
"Looks like they've already planned it. Nankong lowered his eyes, Wei Xi saw the situation and looked at Nankong Qiandao again, "Young City Lord, I heard Gu Qing say today that the City Lord is unwell, I think, the people from the Hehe Palace must have seen this opportunity to rob the prison, what should I do now? Do you want to inform the City Lord and ask him to decide?"
Nan Kongqian thought about it carefully and shook his head, "No, my father is asleep now, he is not feeling well, don't bother him tonight, leave everything to me for the time being." β
"Yes. Wei Xi nodded in agreement, and Nankong Qian instructed him again, " The people of this Annihilation Palace are haunted, and they are cultivating the law of the Demon Realm, which is not easy to deal with, so let's do it, you first send someone to the dungeon to see the situation, count the number of dead and wounded, seize the time to treat their wounds, and by the way, strengthen patrols in the city to see if there are any other suspicious people's footprints, and at the same time send some masters out of the city to secretly investigate, let them be careful, if you meet the people of the Annihilation Palace, don't fight with them, quickly withdraw the report, as for me to stay in the city tower first, if anything happens, you can tell me in timeγ β
"The subordinates obeyed. After Wei Xi received the order, he quickly went down to make arrangements, and Nan Kongqian came to the city tower, because the fragrance had not yet dissipated, he naturally smelled a very natural and fresh smell, "What is this?" He asked the guard standing guard on the city tower in confusion, and the guard hurriedly turned around and explained to him, "If you go back to the young city lord, this fragrance is wafting from the woods outside the city, and it has been a long time, and I haven't found anything unusual." β
Hearing this, Nankong suddenly lowered his brows, and he suddenly asked again, "Fang Cai...... Brother Wei was attracted by this aroma and stood here for a long time?"
"Yes, the general found a point of light in the woods, so he ordered people to go quickly, but later, the point of light in the woods suddenly turned into countless white lights, the general wanted to go out of the city to check, but who knows, as soon as he left the city, he found the whereabouts of the poisonous scorpion. β
In that case, this aroma must also be done by the people of the Annihilation Palace, they must be divided into two ways, some people are stationed outside the city, and some people are monitoring in the city, waiting for the opportunity, once the people inside enter the dungeon, the people outside the city will cast a spell to release this strange aroma, attracting Wei Xi's attention, so that his eyes stay outside the city, and temporarily ignore the movement inside the dungeon.
It seems that this Annihilation Palace has some skills than Youyangqu. Nankong couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth, and unconsciously remembered the banquet of the Nan family in his mind, that time, it was the first time he saw the people of the Annihilation Palace, and it was also the first time he learned the ability to be able to take people away silently.
If this is the case, this illusion technique is so powerful, I am afraid it will be even more difficult to catch the people of the Annihilation Palace! Nankong Qian couldn't help but start to worry, but at the moment, the most important thing is to restore the security in Gangneung City as soon as possible, so as not to be taken advantage of by people with intentions to enter.
But then he felt very uneasy, now that the poisonous scorpion had escaped, then no matter what, the Lu family would definitely use this to ask his father and the entire Jiangling City for his guilt......
Alas! He gradually lowered his eyes, and felt more and more guilty in his heart, if he hadn't acted on his own, maybe all this would not have happened, and he blamed himself for being too impulsive! Thinking of this, he decided that from now on, he would no longer act rashly, and everything would be said after his father woke up tomorrow.
Outside the city, Dugu Hanqiu and Qianfanmeng came to the top of the hill, where they could naturally see the situation in Jiangling City, although the distance was very far, but fortunately, they could see more clearly with a little spell, they found that Jiangling City did not seem to send people out of the city to find the trace of the poisonous scorpion, and they also saw the figure of Nankong Qian, but he only stood on the city tower and looked at it from afar, and did not make any other moves, which made them feel very strange.
"This southern sky is shallow, and he actually didn't send people out of the city to find the whereabouts of the poisonous scorpion, doesn't he care about the poisonous scorpion's escape at all?" Qian Fanmeng couldn't help frowning.
"Maybe he has other plans, but we have to be careful. Dugu Hanqiu said lightly, "By the way, I heard before that the disciples of Wangtianmen and Fang Haikuo are also patrolling around, the palace master and the young palace master, they won't touch them, right?" Qianfanmeng was faintly worried.
"Don't worry, I have already sent someone to check before, since Hanyang City knew that the poisonous scorpion was caught, the disciples of Wangtianmen and Fang Haikuo have not interfered in this matter anymore, although I don't know how the defense situation is on the side of Hanyang City, but on the side of Jiangling City, there are only the guards of Jiangling City, and there is no one else. β
"That's good!" Qian Fanmeng nodded, immediately understood the situation, and breathed a sigh of relief, after that, they saw that Nan Kongqian had been standing on top of the city tower without moving, so they left the hill, went down the mountain to check around, and found that there were no guards patrolling, so they immediately cast a spell to keep up with Bai Ningxi's pace and came to their side.
