That was Murong’s voice...

Actually, his reaction shouldn’t have been faster than Wei Gongcheng’s. After all, Wei Gongcheng was within the underworld, and his spiritual power had already reached the standard of Super First Rank, which was certainly not something that a child like Murong Bingyun could match.

The reason why Murong could sense it more quickly was that he felt a surge of heat from his bloodline.

The person who launched the sudden attack was from the Murong Family!

Too bad... no matter how fast his senses were, they couldn’t outpace that person who had appeared so suddenly...

A flash of blue light, and Wei Gongcheng, who had been focusing all his attention on Zi Yue and the others, had no time to react, let alone the fact that the surge of power came from outside the underworld!!

A beam of blue light pierced through Wei Gongcheng, instantly rendering his eyes dull!

And unbelievably, Murong also saw a person...

"Auntie...."

Before coming here, the family had emphasized that if he encountered any issues in Jiangnan, that elder would be the one to rely on!

"Oh? You’ve grown up, little one..."

It was indeed Murong Yunji!

Wei Gongcheng, who had been shackled, didn’t even have a chance to react before he was dragged out of the underworld, and Zi Yue and her comrades also retreated from the underworld in an instant, leaving only Murong Bingyun in place, dumbfounded.

The ups and downs were so sudden that his emotions couldn’t catch up at the moment.

He had thought... that he was in despair, yet he had encountered a savior.

He had thought the ruler of the underworld had the upper hand, using him to trap the enemy and secure victory. He hadn’t expected such a swift reversal...

What he hadn’t expected even more was that the one who took action... was the person the Murong Family had been longing for!

He still remembered how much the family yearned for the former Wind King, Your Majesty.

Even though that person had been forced into marriage...

The family still wished for him to rely on her.

What would the family’s feelings be like now, knowing that the one who conspired with the evil creatures to cause his death included the Prince Feng, who once brought glory to the Murong Family?

Sitting on the ground, Murong Bingyun remained silent in a daze, from despair to hope and then back to despair, the whole process lasting barely more than a dozen breaths...

He was truly exhausted...

Let whatever is going to happen, happen...

--------------------------

"You’ve arrived quite timely!"

Zi Yue’s expression was calm, unlike Ali and the inner demon who looked like they had survived a catastrophe.

"Did you plan this all along?" The Straw Man looked at Zi Yue with anger in his eyes.

"Otherwise, how could we have captured this one?" Zi Yue looked at Wei Gongcheng, whose collarbone had been pierced and his body was being controlled by the wind energy: "Ali!"

Ali came back to her senses, glanced at the somewhat confused Chen Ying behind Murong Yunji, and let out a sigh of relief. It appeared that Zi Yue had brought Murong Yunji here quietly through this person. Altering Chen Ying’s memory had been an excellent move.

Thinking about it... Ali approached Wei Gongcheng, her pair of dark pupils began emitting a pink enchanting glow.

Wei Gongcheng was stunned, wasn’t the Thousand-Faced Fox only able to control those of a lower rank than herself?

Seeing the puzzled Wei Gongcheng, Zi Yue felt rare inclination to explain: "Ali’s capability is actually to alter anyone’s memory, it just requires time.

Once it’s activated, it will trigger the innate alertness of the subject, so against a powerful opponent, if her rank is not enough to instantly alter the opponent’s memory, she won’t make a move easily.

But in your case, being completely controlled, it’s different. .."

"I see..." Wei Gongcheng sighed and looked at the confused Chen Ying: "I had long suspected that she might be under your control... but I didn’t expect that you would use yourself as bait!"

"Your hastily set trap is not too bad..." Zi Yue nodded: "But my target was always you, so even if you were truly careless this time, I would have waited for you in the underworld..."

"You really are impressive..." Wei Gongcheng forced a smile. In the end, it was still a matter of strength. To think that a place like the underworld could have a hole opened in it.

Plans and designs all ultimately depend on strength...

Amidst his bitter smile, and under Ali’s influence, Wei Gongcheng’s eyes gradually grew confused. But just as his consciousness was blurring, he suddenly sealed off his senses, all at once stopping the pink glow in Ali’s eyes, which dissipated instantly.

"This guy..." Ali was taken aback: "How did he know..."

"It must have been Chen Qing who taught him..." Zi Yue sighed: "To close the seven senses as a temporary barrier against you, this information is not known by many in this world. I really don’t know where that guy Chen Qing learned so much about us?"

"So what do we do now?"

"You don’t need to worry..." Zi Yue shook her head, "With the seven senses sealed, reopening them will have significant signs, you just need to guard him, and no matter when he wakes up, you will be able to control him again.

With Wei Gongcheng gone and Chen Ying under your control, Lyuzhou is now in your hands.

I can go to the Dragon Palace with peace of mind. "

Ali looked at Zi Yue in a daze, hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke, "Be careful..."

Zi Yue smiled at him, "Worried about me?"

"Afraid that if you die, I won’t be able to cope on this side."

"Okay..." Zi Yue smiled gently, her gaze toward Ali always carried a softness, completely different from when she looked at others.

"Let’s go..." Murong Yunji glanced at the Straw Man, "With Wei Gongcheng sealed, it’ll probably be ten days to half a month. You won’t be able to wait until the Underworld doors open."

"You did this on purpose!" the Straw Man looked at Murong Yunji and said coldly, "With your speed, you could have taken that boy with you just now."

"So what if I did it on purpose?" Murong Yunji sneered, "You plotted against my nephew behind my back, was that with my consent?"

Straw Man: "...."

"Ha, you’d better play your part in the Dragon Palace, otherwise... you’ll never get what you want in your life. I mean what I say!"

"You..."

"Alright!" Zi Yue checked the sky, "We’ve delayed too much already. Bai Yu has already sent a message, there are only seven days left. I reckon the Princess Royale and that one from the West Sea have already approached, we need to set off quickly too!"

"Okay...."

"Take care of everything on this side," Zi Yue said to Ali.

"Enough, what could happen to me here? It’s you..." Ali said seriously, "Chen Qing is not easy to deal with... be careful!"

"I know..."

--------------------------------------

"Oh?" Somewhere far away, Chen Qing suddenly sensed something, and with a wave of his hand, there appeared the message from Wei Gongcheng.

"Daddy, what did he say?"

"This guy... he really dares to take risks!" Chen Qing looked at the fifty-word message from Wei Gongcheng and had a good idea of his plan, taking a deep breath.

He had only thought of him as a cautious worker before but had not expected him to resort to such a risky strategy; it seems that honest people are only apparently so.

"Daddy, can he... succeed?"

"Don’t know... but... in that environment, his plan is pushing the limits."

Chen Qing smiled contentedly.

Zi Yue, Murong Yunji, the released Thousand-Faced Fox, plus that heart demon that could throw people into chaos, with this lineup and Shen Qi stepping into trouble first, with Chen Ying most likely under control, and Wei Gongcheng not allowed to call other gods for a tough fight, it was a dire situation.

That he... could still come up with this strategy under such circumstances... was truly unexpected. Indeed... his initial judgment was not wrong; this man was someone to whom he could entrust great responsibilities!

---------------------------------

"You... want to take a break?"

At the base of Daqing Mountain, looking at Wei Gongzhan, who was gasping for breath, all the wounds that had just closed up were cracking open again from too much movement, Little Mink frowned deeply, "What’s the rush?"

"If I’m not in a hurry, when your mother comes back and finds me gone, she might just skin me!"

Little Mink was speechless; she really didn’t like her mother’s habit of eating humans. She didn’t understand why her mother, who looked just like her, had to eat people.

"We’ve arrived..." Wei Gongzhan glanced at the familiar place ahead and quickly scrambled over.

"Slow down... what is this?"

Little Mink saw the glowing Runes and immediately became alert.

Wei Gongzhan directly leaned his arm over, the markings on his arm corresponding with the runes, and with a bright light and sound, a familiar voice appeared.

"Hmm... I remember... you must be the second son of Eldest Lady Eleven, right?"

Wei Gongzhan froze in place; he was very familiar with the figure that appeared in the light, the man in black with a mask, known by everyone in Lyuzhou, the revered god of the Underworld!

Unlike the highly respected God Xuu Hu, the god of the Underworld was closer to daily life, more mysterious, and more awe-inspiring.

He had never imagined that the god of the Underworld, whom everyone worshipped, was actually his own cousin!

"If you receive this message, it means I’ve already... been taken control of!!!"

Wei Gongzhan: "...."
