Chapter 167: Strange Things in the Theater (15)
Under pressure from everyone, Guangsheng was forced to kowtow to Xu Shan's body.
"Chun Tao, go and bury Xu Shan." She continued to give orders.
Chun Tao said quickly: "Yes, I want Master Gong to choose a better place."
Mu Hanxing nodded: "Well, Gong Yu will go with her."
Gong Yu responded: "Yes."
Afterwards, Susu took the initiative to suggest that she go with Chuntao and the others to bury Xu Shan. Cui Ren and his two disciples continued to catch ghosts aimlessly. The fortune teller watched everything with a cold look, without saying a word, and stayed in the inn with Su Miaoying.
After finishing the instructions, Mu Hanxing continued to look for the eye of the formation within the range that she had calculated yesterday using magic and Gong Yu's magic weapon. Jingchen followed behind her, galloping all the way.
Halfway through the journey, Jing Chen asked her from behind: "City Lord, why did you choose to let Su Su go out first?"
Mu Hanxing thought very clearly and explained, "If I let the girl leave the city first, I can only choose one of Susu and Su Miaoying. Su Miaoying is from Ning country and knows a lot about the Lan family. Judging from her expression, she should have a lot of things to say. Keeping her may help us get more information so that more people can survive... In addition, I suspect that Susu's husband has been beating her for a long time. I don't want to ask about the specific reasons. I just sympathize with her and let her leave quickly and live a good life."
Jingchen was silent, looking at her firm and upright back with respect in his heart.
Feng Xiao followed the city lord's order and waited for Su Su to accompany him in burying Xu Shanhou before taking her to the city gate.
Su Su still looked distraught. She followed Feng Xiao carefully, her heart beating faster. When she reached the door, she asked Feng Xiao cautiously, "Sir... can I really leave safely?"
"Of course I have my own way. You can't leave safely, and I can't explain to the city lord." Feng Xiao said without any emotion. He was really just explaining his mission.
Su Su was silent for a while, then decided to give it a try: "Then I'll trouble you."
"Today's command is that you said you were going to Ningguo to attend a banquet. If you are late, it may cause dissatisfaction to the Emperor of Ning and cause trouble for the city." Feng Xiao instructed, "If the guards ask who you are, just say you are an actor invited by the Lan family. Remember?"
Su Su nodded nervously: "I'll remember that, thank you, sir."
"Go ahead and talk to the guard at the door." Feng Xiao signaled with his eyes.
After Susu locked onto the target, she took a deep breath, and when she turned around, her eyes had changed. She was determined to fight to the death.
She didn’t know when she could find the center of the formation, so she could only choose to trust this young man.
She walked over and communicated with the guard as Feng Xiao said. As expected, the guard asked her who she was. She told him everything without missing a word. The guard nodded and prepared to take her out of the city.
When the city gate opened wide, making an ancient and heavy sound, her face was stunned.
She stood at the door in disbelief for a long time, her features frozen, as if everything before her was a dream, the flowers, plants and trees outside the city were all just illusions, it was too unreal...
Feng Xiao came over in time and reminded her from behind: "Get out quickly, I don't know how long the city gate will be open."
Su Su came back to her senses and glanced at Feng Xiao. However, at this time, she had already changed her demeanor. She was no longer submissive or cautious. In her eyes, there was only a little bit of determination and viciousness after the coldness of a dead heart. She said coldly, "Thank you and the fairy girl."
After saying that, she stepped out of the city without hesitation. She stood outside the city gate, cheering in her heart, but her eyes turned cold at the same time, and she actually revealed an evil smile outside the door.
Feng Xiao saw that she had changed drastically, and couldn't help asking her at the city gate: "With such a rare opportunity, why didn't you come to my room like you did last night and beg for the chance to leave the city to give to your husband?"
Su Su sneered smugly and contentedly outside the gradually closing city gate: "Given your personality, you probably won't be interested."
Feng Xiao was stunned.
At this moment, three people suddenly rushed over from behind. The leader shouted, "Disciple! Take this opportunity! Rush out quickly. You guys go ahead, I'll be responsible for watching the guards behind! Quick!"
Feng Xiao looked back, shocked: "It's you!?"
Cui Ren, Lin Yifeng and Lu Yusheng appeared hurriedly from some unknown corner, ready to seize this opportunity and rush out of the city with Susu.
The three men did not go to catch ghosts today. They just waited at the city gate. If Susu failed to leave the city, the three men would hide. If she succeeded, they would take the opportunity to rush out with her. Anyway, they were not the ones to try life and death.
Feng Xiao simply hated these three people, so he simply didn't care about them. If they could get out safely, the city lord's plan would be accomplished, and if they couldn't get out, it would be their own bad luck. So, he didn't stop them and just stood aside and watched.
Su Su was startled when she saw three people rushing towards her from afar on the long street. She quickly turned around and ran away, disappearing outside the city.
At this moment, the guard's eyes suddenly turned red. He raised his spear and shouted angrily. His face looked like a clay figurine that was suddenly pinched. His features became blurry and hideous due to the rapid change. The guard shouted angrily and stopped the three people in front of him: "Martial law in the city! No one can leave the city without reason! You are spies of the Xirong people! Kill!"
Cui Ren was startled and stopped walking immediately. Just now, Lu Yusheng quickened his pace and rushed forward after hearing what his master said. It was too late to look back now. He rushed to the front, and the guard swung the spear angrily at him, which was heading for his body. He was a cultivator, and it was easy for him to dodge the spear. He quickly raised his sword to block the spear tip.
With a loud "bang", the gun tip and the sword blade collided. Lu Yusheng confronted the guard with gritted teeth. Suddenly, his expression became panicked and he found that a lot of the spiritual energy around him was sucked back by the negative energy of the gun tip. At the moment when his strength was obviously weakened, the guard's gun tip pierced Lu Yusheng's right arm!
"Ah——!" Lu Yusheng screamed in pain.
He fell backwards in pain, and before he could stand firmly, his right arm was completely removed!
A bloody severed arm was lifted into the air by the guard's spear!
“Junior Brother!!!” Lin Yifeng, who was behind him, screamed hysterically when he saw this scene, his whole body shaking.
Cui Ren, who was standing behind him, was stunned. His eyes widened, his breath stagnated, and he was dumbfounded. He didn't have time to swing his sword to save Lu Yusheng. The guard's spearmanship was so fast that he broke his apprentice's hands and legs... This scene and the way he died... Zhai Tian...
