Chapter Seventy-One: Parting Ways
Mao Hu fell to the ground heavily, and when he couldn't get up, he shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Block the exit, don't let that guy run away!" After speaking, he took out a small bottle, opened the cork and sprinkled it into the air, and suddenly a puff of white smoke diffused throughout the hall.
In the white smoke, Li Yan, who had disappeared, showed his figure again, and at this time he had already run to the exit and was about to escape. Zi Ning stood firmly on the ground without changing color, and gently lifted left and right, a purple barrier rose from the ground, blocking the secret passage behind him.
At this time, Li Yan could no longer be regarded as a spirit man, because he had all the demon spirits of the giant rat in his body, and his mind and body were completely occupied by the rat demon. Finding that the retreat was blocked and it was impossible to escape, the rat demon also went crazy, occupying Li Yan's body to urge the demonic qi in his body as much as possible, and in an instant, a chirping sound sounded in the corners of the main hall in all directions, and then countless rats with fangs rushed towards the three of them like black river water.
With only a short blade in his hand, he could only slash the rats that rushed to the front as much as he could, while pushing them to one side of the wall to defend. Unfortunately, there were too many mice, and if he killed one, ten would rush up, and in the blink of an eye, four or five rats had crawled up his body along his trouser legs, and the targets were the heart and throat!
Each rat had fangs that were not proportional to their bodies, and some of them had already pierced Tuchen's flesh while climbing up their trouser legs, and bursts of pain came from all parts of their bodies at the same time, and the painful Tuchen was also confused for a while.
Seeing this, Zi Ning raised her hands and quickly unsealed, and a huge ball of purple light enveloped her in it and slowly floated. The moment the rat touched the edge of the purple ball of light, it turned into black gas and dissipated, with no attack power to speak of.
She manipulated the purple ball of light to move to Tuchen's side, and all the rats turned into black gas in an instant.
Although the two of them were temporarily off the line in the purple ball of light, they suffered the hairy beard on the other side. He fell to the ground and fell lightly, but before he could get up, he encountered this rolling rat wave, and hundreds of mouths bit him, rolling and screaming all over the ground, and his coat had been bitten out of many holes!
Taking advantage of the fact that the rat wave was dragging the three of them, the rat demon manipulated Li Yan to jump into the air, and then crashed straight towards the purple barrier blocking the opening of the secret passage like a long human arrow!
With a crisp click, Li Yan's head hit the purple barrier directly, and at the same time that the purple barrier knocked out a gap, his head was cracked, and his brain was splashed, and he fell to the ground weakly. Along with the brains and blood, a cloud of demonic energy flew out of the skull, and the demonic energy quickly burrowed through the gaps between the barriers, disappearing into the night......
At the same time as the demonic qi disappeared, tens of thousands of little mice also disappeared in an instant, and the entire underground hall returned to calm, only Li Yan's corpse was still slowly flowing blood......
Mao Hu got up and spat on the ground, took off the coat that had been almost bitten to pieces, and threw it on the ground: "Damn, let that guy run away!"
Zi Ning put away the purple ball of light, looked at the crack in the barrier at the entrance of the secret passage, and said softly: "That rat demon is not very strong, but it is just a little clumsy and short-handed. Although he has escaped, his demon spirit has been damaged because of this, and it is estimated that he will not dare to come out again to make waves in the future. ”
Tuchen also sighed softly and pulled the bitten clothes on his body: "I hope so, I can return the peaceful days to the people of Yangcheng, Li Yan has fallen to such a point, and he deserves it, let's go." ”
Then the three of them left the mansion and found Mo Erha sitting on the street resting, and took him back to the thatched hut outside the city.
The next day, the news of Lord Li's death in his own mansion quickly spread throughout the city, and the imperial court immediately appointed a new government to investigate and succeed him. Of course, all kinds of signs can only show that Li Yan committed suicide, so he has to deal with it as suicide.
After this incident passed, it was also a matter of Grandma Li's heart. Originally, Tuchen wanted to send her back to Yangcheng to enjoy her old age. But considering that many people in the city still have misunderstandings about themselves, Grandma Li simply stayed in the thatched hut outside the city, and grew some vegetables in the courtyard to live a unique flavor.
Mo Erha's internal organs were not lightly injured, and his body was also recovering quickly after some decoction treatment and self-care. After seven days, he was completely healed and restored to his original state.
Calculate it, since the experience of leaving the valley has been nearly three months now, except for Mo Erha, Tuchen doesn't know anything about the situation of the other sects, and after a brief discussion, he and Mo Erha decided to set off to return to the Spirit Valley as soon as possible.
Mao Hu didn't have a fixed goal in the first place, he was purely traveling around the world, so he was naturally willing to accompany the two of them for another journey. Zi Ning's body has also recovered ninety percent, and she did not make a clear statement about the next arrangement, but Mo Erha invited her to go to Linggu to learn art with a dead face.
After two days of repairing, Tuchen finally set off early the next morning, striving to rush back to Linggu within half a month.
That night, Tuchen sat in his room and thought about Zi Ning's whereabouts. In the two days that the four of them were repairing, Zi Ning did not participate in the discussion, nor did she completely express her attitude.
After thinking about it for a while, Tuchen decided to go to Zi Ning to ask for clarification, after all, he couldn't take her back to Linggu with him. made up his mind to get up and open the door, but he was stunned, and Zi stood quietly opposite.
"Are you going to find me?" Zi Ning asked softly.
Tuchen nodded slightly, and asked, "Tomorrow we are leaving for Linggu, what are your plans?"
"Did you hear my call in the palace that day? Answer me first, and then I will answer you. ”
Tuchen was stunned when he heard this, and after being silent for a long time, he nodded slightly: "I heard your voice, and I heard you tell me the direction of the secret room." How did you do that, and why can't Mao Hu hear it?"
"Because ......" said two words, Zi Ning suddenly stopped, took off the veil on his face and smiled slightly: "I wish you all a smooth journey, and I will leave in a while." After saying that, he turned around and left slowly.
Looking at Zi Ning's back, Tuchen wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth but never made a sound......
On the second day, the coachman hired in advance arrived at the grass hut on time, and after saying goodbye to Grandma Li, Tuchen took the lead in getting into the carriage, and soon Mao Hu and Mo Erha also walked out of their respective rooms with a sigh of anger.
After all three of them sat down, Tuchen patted the old man who drove on the shoulder: "You can go." As soon as the words fell, he was immediately stopped by Mo Erha: "Wait a minute, Miss Zining hasn't come out yet, do you want me to call it." "As he spoke, he was about to go out.
"She's gone last night. Mo Erha's facial features were distorted together when he heard this, and his eyes almost widened out of his sockets: "What!? gone!......? How could it be? Where did she go?
A trace of parting sorrow also swelled in the heart of Tuchen, who asked this, and after a moment of silence, he replied in a deep voice: "Go where she should go......"
