Chapter 225: Hostages
When Cheng Xian'er just shouted out about this, the regret in her mind flashed away, but after thinking about it, she thought about it again, Leng Ruoxue has a space artifact that can live in people, but she is afraid that she can't hide it, and with these mysterious people, she wants to get the opportunity to get that artifact, I'm afraid it's even more difficult, in this case, why don't she use it before the artifact is exposed, at least she has to make a way for herself, in addition, uphold the sour grapes that I can't get, and other women don't want to get it, therefore, When she betrayed Leng Ruoxue, she became at ease and logical.
"A space-like artifact that can live in people? Are you sure? The middle-aged man on the throne said with interest.
Space artifacts that can live in people are as rare as few in the God Realm, and, in his memory, except for that person who can refine them at will, there are not many masters who can refine such space artifacts in the God Realm, however, the old guys in the Arsenal Association should be able to, but the materials for refining this kind of space artifact are not so easy to come together, otherwise, he would have asked them to refine it a long time ago.
"Hmmm! I've been living there before, so, I'm pretty sure. Cheng Xian'er said cautiously.
"Where do you live? Looks like someone you know owns it! I really can't imagine that the young lady of the dignified Cheng family is so despicable and betrays her friends. The middle-aged man said with a slight mockery.
"She's not my friend." Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Cheng Xian'er roared a little frantically.
"Whether it's your friend or not, since you live there, that person must have known you, but now you don't hesitate to betray him, if I were him, I would be disappointed in you." The middle-aged man sighed, in fact, what he hates most is this kind of person who sees the wind and rudder and betrays his righteousness, although he is not much better than this Miss Cheng family, but this does not prevent him from hating her.
"People don't do anything, heaven and earth are destroyed, I just made the right choice, what's wrong." Cheng Xian'er quibbled, in fact, she wanted to say more, even if I didn't say it, you would know about it sooner or later, but she didn't dare to say this, because once she said such a thing, then the chips in her hand would be gone, she grew up in a super family since she was a child, she knows very well what is the most important thing to herself, and Leng Ruoxue is her life talisman.
However, she didn't think about whether her so-called hole cards were useful to these people, or whether the other party would be fooled if she deliberately hung the other party's appetite, in her heart, she had already determined that the space artifact that could live in people had an extremely powerful attraction, and no one could resist that charm.
"It seems to make sense." The middle-aged man tugged at the corners of his mouth, and then said, "Who does the artifact in your mouth belong to?" "She was right, she was really interested in the artifact.
"The owner of that artifact is a woman, her strength is not high, only the cultivation of a god, if you can catch her, then the artifact will naturally belong to you." Cheng Xian'er suggested, and in her heart she was secretly happy for her suggestion, hum! She was caught, and the damned woman didn't think about it, since she wouldn't accompany her down to the bottom of the valley, then she let these people go out of the valley to clean them up, she thought secretly in her heart, and was a little complacent.
If Leng Ruoxue was also caught by them, she would feel very relieved in her heart.
"You just need to tell me who the owner of the artifact is, and you don't need to tell me what to do." The middle-aged man listened to Cheng Xian'er's suggestion, and his face did not show a trace of joy, but instead straightened his face and said.
The middle-aged man's words shocked Cheng Xian'er, and she suddenly realized that she had lost her words, but she quickly adjusted her state and said calmly: "The owner of the artifact is called Leng Xue, she is a casual cultivator, she has no family, and she is now outside the valley." ā
Actually, Cheng Xian'er didn't know what Leng Ruoxue's name was, she only knew that her surname was Leng, but Cheng Xian'er heard that the demon man called her Xue'er, so she naturally felt that her name should be Leng Xue.
Cold snow! Sure enough, cold-blooded, she was so unrighteous, if that damn woman was willing to bring her subordinates down with her, how could she be caught by these people! Now, she has blamed Leng Ruoxue for the reason why she was arrested, so the hatred for Leng Ruoxue in her heart has deepened.
After Cheng Xian'er's words were finished, the middle-aged man on the throne gave the man in black beside her a look, and the man in black nodded, and then left the hall.
A moment later, the man in black returned and nodded to the middle-aged man on the throne.
At this time, Cheng Xian'er, who was kneeling on the ground with her head bowed, didn't know at all that after just such a short period of work, the other party had already gone out to verify and prove that what she said was true, but the middle-aged man on the throne had been silent, which made her heart tremble more and more.
Cheng Xian'er knelt on the ground in fear, the cold sweat on her body wet her already tattered clothes, at this moment, she had never been nervous, because a middle-aged man's casual words could decide her life and death, but the other party was silent.
"Take her down!" After a long time, the middle-aged man slowly spoke.
"Yes!" The man in black answered, and immediately, he directly picked up Cheng Xian'er's collar and prepared to take her out.
"Don't! I don't want to go out, I've told you such an important thing, just let me go! Cheng Xian'er pear blossom cried with rain, and hugged the nearest pillar in the hall, no matter how the man in black dragged her, she refused to let go. She was afraid of death, and she didn't want to die, because she knew that once she left here, she was afraid that there would be no way to live, so she would not leave here until she got the other party's promise.
"Let go! Otherwise, I'll cut off your hand. The man in black threatened with some anger, this woman actually caused him to lose face in front of adults, it was really unreasonable, he would not let her go.
"IāI told you such important news, and you still won't let me go." Cheng Xian'er said with great disappointment.
"Did I say that you told us this, and you were spared?" The middle-aged man's ordinary face finally showed a smile and said.
"No, it shouldn't be like this." The middle-aged man's words hit Cheng Xian'er hard, and muttered to herself.
"How could it not be like this? Even if you don't tell us, we'll know about it, right? The middle-aged man was a little impatient, and said to the man in black like a fly: "Pull her down quickly." ā
"Yes!" The man in black had a gloomy face, and with a turn of thought, a long knife exuding a cold aura appeared in his hand, and with the flash of the knife, a silver light quickly slashed towards Cheng Xian'er's wrist...
Cheng Xian'er felt an unusual cold light in the corner of her eyes, and instinctively retracted her hand, and the man in black took the opportunity to pick her up and take her out of the hall.
After they left, the middle-aged man on the throne waved his hand slightly, and a light curtain appeared in front of him, and the scene outside the valley appeared in the light curtain.
At this time, outside the valley, there is a small building about three stories high, which looks very ordinary from the outside, and there is nothing extraordinary, but the middle-aged man knows that this small building is a space artifact that can live in Cheng Xian'er's mouth.
Looking at the inconspicuous house, the middle-aged man's eyes showed a hint of eagerness, looking at the horizon, no one would not want to have such a house, but unfortunately, the value of this house is immeasurable by money, however, he can't understand, how can the owner of this house only have the strength of a god? Could it be that he is hiding his strength? Thinking of this possibility, the middle-aged man's expression also became solemn.
With another wave of his hand, the light curtain disappeared, and the middle-aged man sat on the throne for a long time, not knowing what he was thinking.
A week later.
Leng Ruoxue and the others still stayed in the house safely, they should eat and drink, and there were more and more monsters around their house, but those monsters had nothing to do with this hard house, so they could only keep roaring outside, angry, and slamming their bodies around the house...
Even so, the house was as stable as Mount Tai, and there was not even the slightest trembling.
With nothing to do, those monsters became even more crazy like trapped beasts, only to see them let out a deafening roar from morning to night, and persistently hit the sturdy house with their bodies...
For their crazy actions, Feng Da and the others in the house were like laughing stock, and they pointed at those monsters from time to time, and even when they were bored, they also made a monster competition and selected the top three monsters with the strongest and most physical strength, and after Leng Ruoxue knew about it, in addition to being speechless, he was still speechless.
in the garden of the house.
Several elders of the Cao family watched the crazy actions of the monsters through the light curtain, and they were very uneasy, they were very afraid, afraid that these monsters would break through the defenses of the house and rush in from the outside, because the number of monsters outside had been nearly three times that they had encountered.
And Elder Cao San was not only a little uneasy in his heart, but also more aggrieved, since a few days ago, he was made difficult by Leng Ruoxue and others to ride a tiger, and he was cheeky and did not go out, he felt that he seemed to have no status in the eyes of Feng Da and others, not only that, Feng Da and the others looked at him with a little contempt, but he was very uncomfortable, but when he saw the black monsters outside, he really didn't have the courage to go out, so he has been very silent in the past few days.
"Miss! There are more and more monsters, and it looks like we're trapped here. Feng Da looked at the light curtain and said with a frown.
"Yes! But what can be done? Leng Ruoxue couldn't do anything in the face of these ugly monsters, because she had already heard about their characteristics from the mouth of the Cao family elders, and knew that these monsters could not be killed, and she believed that these monsters were definitely just the tip of the iceberg in this secret realm, if they really came out of this house, they would be overwhelmed by the monsters here in the next second.
"Miss Leng, are we really going to be trapped in this secret realm?" An elder of the Cao family, who heard their conversation, couldn't help but interject.
"You guys have a great idea?" Leng Ruoxue raised her eyebrows lightly and asked lightly, and when the elder of the Cao family heard her ask, he was so frightened that he didn't even dare to say anything, because what happened to the three elders of their family before, they still remember it vividly.
Leng Ruoxue saw that the elder was silent, and he didn't speak, but stared at the light curtain thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
For a moment, everyone fell silent.
Unknowingly, Leng Ruoxue and the others have been trapped in the house for nearly a month. The elders of the Cao family are also slowly getting used to it, but the tempers of those monsters are getting more and more irritable, and they are becoming more and more unruly, only knowing that they are rampage.
In the main hall deep in the valley, the middle-aged man sat on the throne with a frown, the expression on his face was obscure, and the man in black next to him saw it, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't help but flow down.
The gloomy appearance of the adult who did not say a word made him tremble and fear, because the more silent this adult was, the greater the anger in his heart, and once this person was in a bad mood, the unlucky ones were those of them who were subordinates, so he was under great pressure.
"Go and bring the woman from the Cheng family." After a long time, the middle-aged man commanded.
"Yes!" The man in black answered, and then turned around and walked out of the main hall.
A few minutes later, Cheng Xian'er was brought into the hall again.
At this time, Cheng Xian'er's face was unusually pale, she walked a little floating, and her originally bright beautiful eyes became extremely dim, and there was still a trace of horror in her eyes.
When there was still some distance from the throne, Cheng Xian'er had already knelt on the ground in fear, her body was trembling like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, her head hung very low, at this time she was much haggard compared to the last time, she looked very thin, and she was obviously not as angry as last time, which shows that she has suffered a lot of torture during this time.
The middle-aged man looked condescendingly at Cheng Xian'er, who was no longer human, and said lightly: "Miss Cheng! Any idea what called you? ā
"No, I don't know." Cheng Xian'er replied in a low voice.
"Miss Cheng has seen our methods for this time, right?" The middle-aged man asked with a light smile.
And as soon as Cheng Xian'er heard this, her face turned even paler, and her body trembled even more, yes! She saw that these people were demons. She didn't want to think back to what had happened during this time, but the man had to remind her that this fact made her heart sad and angry.
She hates! Hate these guys who treat them like beasts in captivity. The last time she was taken out of here, she was taken to a basement, where she met many people from other families, most of whom she didn't know, but they had something in common to do, which was to keep eating the blood-replenishing pills as food, and then they were bloodied day and night, and the blood they shed was poured on a strange flower in a blood pool in a corner of the basement.
The flower is like a lotus, the flower is red, gorgeous and extraordinary, she has grown so big, she has never seen such a beautiful and bright flower, but the flower is blood-sucking, and it is her blood that is sucked, therefore, even if the flower is beautiful, it makes her feel a deep disgust, and the flower seems to know her thoughts, every time she sucks her blood, it makes her miserable, after being tortured for nearly a month, she becomes deformable, her body is extremely weak, and her spirit is always in a state of tension, at the same time, The hatred in her heart has also accumulated to an unimaginable level, she hates these devils, hates the beautiful but vicious flowers, and hates Leng Ruoxue.
If Leng Ruoxue and the others were willing to go down to this valley with her, she would not be the only one to suffer, or it can be said that she would not have to suffer these things, after all, Leng Ruoxue has such an artifact, and she will definitely be able to protect them, but now, she is the only one who enjoys these tortures, how can she not hate?
Although she hated these demonic men in black in her heart, what she hated even more was Leng Ruoxue. Why is she suffering here and that woman is at ease? She didn't have to think about it, they must be hiding in the house now! This fact made the hatred in her heart gnaw at her heart like a poisonous snake, and also made the hatred in her heart grow and spread like a weed.
The middle-aged man's words made Cheng Xian'er's heart turn around, fear, fear, resentment, and entanglement with each other, these intense emotions made her almost collapse, and she didn't quite understand the purpose of the man in black to say these words, but her spirit had been tense, and the clothes behind her back were already soaked, she just knelt in front of the middle-aged man.
Seeing that Cheng Xian'er's face was pale but she didn't say a word, the middle-aged man pulled the corners of his mouth lightly and said softly: "Miss Cheng, I invite you to come because I want you to help." ā
"How can you help?" Hearing this, Cheng Xian'er raised her head unconsciously, and her dim eyes stared at the middle-aged man, wanting to see the truth of his words.
"You have been suffering for the past month, but your companions have been hiding in the house and refusing to come out, let alone come to your rescue, they are so unrighteous, don't you hate them?" The middle-aged man asked with a chuckle.
"I hate!" Cheng Xian'er whispered, a hint of anger flashing across her face.
"Since you hate them, do you want revenge?" The middle-aged man seduced.
"Yes! However, I'm afraid I don't have that ability. Cheng Xian'er said with a disappointed face.
"What if I say, I can help you? However, you have to find a way to get them out of the house, otherwise, they will be hiding inside, and I can't do anything about them. The middle-aged man said helplessly.
"IāI don't know how to get them out." Cheng Xian'er said in a hesitant voice, she understood the middle-aged man's words, she just wanted to let herself find a way to lure them out, but she was really not sure that those people would come out of it for her, after all, except for her brother and the Cao family, her relationship with Leng Ruoxue and others was not harmonious, and she was not a fool, so she naturally would not give this middle-aged man any ideas, otherwise, if it didn't work, she was afraid that it would be her who would suffer, and the most important thing was that she was not sure that Leng Ruoxue and others would be subject to this middle-aged man because of her, She knew in her heart that in the heart of that hateful woman, she did not have such a high status at all.
"What if they threaten them with you as a hostage?" The middle-aged man made it clear, and he could see that Cheng Xian'er was pretending to be stupid, but he didn't intend to expose her, after all, he still had a lot of use for this woman.
"I have a normal relationship with them, but I'm afraid they won't be fooled." Cheng Xian'er said with some hesitation, although she said this, she was also afraid that the middle-aged man would be angry with herself, but if she swore to guarantee the ticket, Zuihou Leng Ruoxue and the others were not deceived from the house, but she was afraid that her fate would be even worse, so she didn't dare to tell a lie at all, but her words became a prevarication in the ears of the middle-aged man.
"So you don't have any use for it!" The middle-aged man said with some anger, and then ordered the man in black beside him: "Take her down!" From today onwards, there is no need to give her a blood-tonifying pill. ā
The meaning of the middle-aged man's words was obvious, that is, he wanted Cheng Xian'er's life, so when Cheng Xian'er heard it, she was so frightened that she hurriedly said: "Although I am not sure that I will let them come out of the house, I can give it a try, please give me a chance." ā
She doesn't want to die! Although she is sucked blood every day, she is at least alive, and, during this time, she has also seen the tragic situation of many people after death, the blood in the body, the divine power has been squeezed dry, not to mention, zuihou has also become the food of those monsters, as long as she thinks of these, the fear in her heart is irrepressibly breeding and spreading in the bottom of her heart, she is afraid of death, she doesn't want her fate to be the same as those who have no use value, and even she has a trace of expectation in her heart, someone will come to rescue her.
"Since Miss Cheng strongly requested, if I don't give you a chance to perform, it will seem that I am not very popular, okay! I'll give you a chance, but you have to remember that people who don't have any use value are equivalent to waste in my eyes, and this kind of person is a waste of air when he lives, and waste usually ends badly, so you should cherish this opportunity. The middle-aged man said very cautiously.
"I'll do well." Cheng Xian'er clenched her silver teeth and said.
"I'm looking forward to Miss Cheng's performance. Take her out of the valley. The middle-aged man instructed the black-clothed man beside him.
"Yes!" The man in black answered, and then, he lifted Cheng Xian'er up like a chicken and took him out of the hall.
The man in black took Cheng Xian'er and teleported out of the valley, and after the monster outside the valley saw the man in black, he consciously gave way to a way, and the roar that shook the sky became louder, as if he was complaining to his boss, venting his dissatisfaction in his heart.
The man in black waved his hand soothingly, and the monsters were as obedient as babies, quieting down. Then, the man in black carried Cheng Xian'er straight to the gate of the house, threw Cheng Xian'er in front of him, and then said loudly: "You know this woman, right?" If you still hide in the house and don't come out, I'll kill her!" ā
After speaking, he kicked Cheng Xian'er to the ground with another kick and trampled Cheng Xian'er under his feet.
"Help me!" Cheng Xian'er said with tears in her eyes.
Cheng Xian'er, who felt humiliated, hated a lot in her heart. Although she didn't dare to say that she was the most favored young lady of the Cheng family, she also wanted to be windy and rainy since she was a child, and when did she suffer this kind of humiliation, especially in front of Leng Ruoxue and others, who she looked down on, which made her even more unacceptable.
At this moment, she secretly swore in her heart that if she could leave here alive one day, then she would not let go of any of these people, and she would repay the shame of today!
At this time, Leng Ruoxue and the others, who were in the garden of the house, had already seen all this through the light curtain, but they were all silent and did not make any movements, and after Cheng Yi saw Cheng Xian'er who was trampled under the feet of the man in black, his face immediately changed and shouted: "Xian'er! ā
Cheng Yi looked at the skinny and haggard Cheng Xian'er with some distress, and he had mixed feelings in his heart, he thought that Xian'er was no longer alive, and he didn't expect that Xian'er was still alive, this fact made him excited, but looking at Xian'er's current appearance, he must have suffered a lot of sins, alas! Xian'er has never suffered such a sin since she was a child! For a moment, his heart felt guilty.
If he could have stopped Xian'er, or persuaded Leng Ruoxue and the others to go down to the valley with Xian'er, wouldn't Xian'er have to bear all this? He couldn't help but secretly say in his heart, although Xian'er is sometimes a headache, but, after all, it is his own sister, and now seeing Xian'er's tragic situation, his heart is very uncomfortable.
"Miss Leng! Save the fairy! Seeing that Leng Ruoxue and the others didn't have any reaction, Cheng Yi couldn't help but plead.
"Cheng Gongzi! I'm just a god, do you think I can save Cheng Xian'er from the hands of that man in black? Leng Ruoxue raised her eyebrows lightly and asked with a little displeasure.
"You'll find a way, I'm sure I'm sure!" Cheng Yi brought a high hat to Leng Ruoxue, and now, apart from Leng Ruoxue, he really didn't know who else he could beg for, and, subconsciously, he also thought that only Leng Ruoxue could save his sister.
"I can't help it! As a god king, Cheng Gongzi can't rescue Ling Mei, and I don't have to hope for a god. Leng Ruoxue said without any emotion, to be honest, she was a little angry, the current fact is that the other party wants to lure them out, and once they go out to save people as the other party wishes, the other party will definitely attack them without hesitation, and the facts in front of Cheng Yi can't be seen, but he still wants her to come forward to save people, is it for the sake of a Cheng Xian'er, do you have to ignore the lives of so many of them? I'm sorry! Cheng Xian'er doesn't have that much weight in her heart.
It doesn't matter if she doesn't pay attention to righteousness, or if she doesn't save her when she dies, in short, if you want her to take risks for a Cheng Xian'er who wants to calculate herself, it is simply impossible.
"Miss's words are right! Cheng Gongzi, don't be bored! Feng Da agreed, he didn't have the idea of saving Cheng Xian'er at all, and besides, Cheng Xian'er would fall into the hands of the other party and she was to blame, why did they have to take risks for a non-relative, and the relationship was not good for Cheng Xian'er? They're not that virgin, are they?
"If you refuse to help, then I'll go out and save it myself!" Cheng Yi said with some annoyance, and after speaking, he turned around and walked in the direction of the gate.
However, as soon as he took two steps, he was knocked out by Lin Yuan.
Looking at Cheng Yi, who was dragged back to his original position, the corners of the Cao family elders twitched, and secretly said, these people are really heavy enough, and the dignified God King was knocked out all of a sudden.
"Elder Cao San, what do you think about this matter?" Leng Ruoxue turned her gaze to Elder Cao San and the others with a solemn face, and asked.
"Miss Leng, is there really no way to save Xian'er?" Elder Cao San asked tentatively.
"What do you say? This is obviously the other party's plan to lure the enemy, if we go out, I am afraid that we will fall into the other party's hands, so I am not in favor of going out. Leng Ruoxue said honestly, now they are grasshoppers on a vine, so they naturally have to advance and retreat together, as for Cheng Xian'er, they can only ask for more blessings.
"But Xian'er..."Elder Cao San wanted to speak and stopped, he knew very well that what Leng Ruoxue said was not wrong, but if he could save Cheng Xian'er, he still wanted to save Xian'er, after all, Cheng Xian'er was of great use in his eyes, at least he could give them a powerful in-law in the Cao family, so he was a little painful to give up Cheng Xian'er like this. But the thought of the monsters gathered outside the house made his scalp tingle, and now the number of these monsters was beyond his imagination, and he was not sure that he would be able to get out of it all in his body.
"Elder Cao San, I also sympathize with Miss Cheng, but I can't risk the lives of so many of us, and besides, you have fought with those monsters, so you naturally know how difficult they are, so you should know how good our chances are in the face of so many monsters." Leng Ruoxue said bluntly, she believes that these elders are not stupid, they know how to choose, and as a member of the top family, they generally only focus on the interests of the family, as for family affection, it is nothing at all in their eyes, when there is a conflict between family affection and family interests and there is a sacrifice, they will choose to sacrifice family affection.
Although the other elders were speechless, Leng Ruoxue knew that they were not willing to sacrifice their lives for a mere Cheng Xian'er, as cultivators, it was normal for the bloodline relationship to be indifferent, after all, the age gap was there, and it was almost impossible to make them attach importance to family affection like ordinary people. What's more, Cheng Xian'er can only be regarded as half of the Cao family.
Leng Ruoxue's words made Elder Cao San completely silent, because the number of those monsters really made him forget, and even at this moment, his heart to use those monsters to get this house was a lot lighter, let me ask, if a person may not even be able to save his life, then what is the use of having more money? If you have money and don't have a life to spend, you won't die in the eyes of death!
Seeing that a consensus had been reached, Leng Ruoxue didn't pay attention to the black-clothed people who were scolding outside the door, they stayed in the house as always, what should they do.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the man in black was still shouting and provoking loudly outside the house, and intertwined with Cheng Xian'er's cry, but Leng Ruoxue and the others still ignored them. As for Cheng Yi, since he wanted to leave the house to save Cheng Xian'er but was knocked unconscious, he has been much more honest, and he doesn't even mention saving Cheng Xian'er.
Late one night.
Cheng Yi, who was not sleepy at all, got up from the bed, tiptoed open the door, walked to the courtyard, looked around, and then he opened the door without hesitation and ran out...
