Chapter 398: Hysterical

pass by those serving Lord Xian, but they didn't meet face-to-face. When the two connected with Zhao Jia's messenger, they were informed that Lord Xian had taken the third princess and left Fengxuan C...The evil spirit was instantly absorbed by the red ribbon, vanishing without a trace. Guo Huai spat out a mouthful of blood, the astonishment on his face fleeting. He hadn't expected Lian Ri's artifact to be so powerful.

Liang Gang's expression was also a little surprised.

"Big brother actually gave you this artifact!"

"What Can't you give it to me"

Ripple said expressionlessly, then with a turn of her wrist, the red silk band swayed and wrapped around Liang Gang once more.

Liang Gang's expression changed. He knew the power of this artifact very well. It was specially prepared by Liang Feng for his daughter, Yu Biyao. He also felt a bit envious, but since it was a ribbon and not suitable for him, he gave up. Besides, Liang Feng didn't tell him about the place where the ribbon was nurtured. Unexpectedly, it ended up in Wu Lianyi's hands. It seemed he had underestimated the other party.

These thoughts were just fleeting. Liang Gang leapt forward, his rusty blade swinging towards the red ribbon. The ribbon swiftly retreated, dodging his attack, and then coiled around Guo Huai.

Guo Huai's contract spirit was brutally slain again, injuring him. This time, he was one step too slow and failed to dodge the crimson ribbon, getting entangled around his right wrist. He was dragged towards Lian Yi's direction by the ribbon.

Liàn Yī has already drawn her dagger and clashed with Liáng Gāng, who was wielding a long sword. The continuous sounds of their swords colliding foreshadowed the intensity of the fight.

The red ribbon, while being dragged, was also extracting the demonic energy refined within Guo Huai's body. This thing was a great tonic for it. Seizing this opportunity, the red ribbon quickly climbed onto Guo Huai's body, coiling around him circle by circle.

At the same time, a cracking sound, "Ka," rang clearly in Liang Gang's ears. He saw a fissure appear on the edge of his blade, spreading rapidly across the entire knife.

Liàn Yī aimed carefully and hurled the dagger, its tip striking precisely at the crack. Liang Gang's blade shattered into several pieces instantly. Liang Gang's face turned pale, but he immediately abandoned his broken sword and grabbed Liàn Yī's dagger instead.

A greedy gleam flashed in Liang Gang's eyes as he grasped the dagger. This was a divine weapon, and now that it was in his hand, it meant he could control it. Without hesitation, he immediately formed a formation with his Xuan force, intending to brand his mark on the dagger's hilt.

The ripples revealed a sarcastic smile. Liang Gang's current predicament was not undeserved. Once greed took hold, he would find a million excuses to justify himself, just like now, he claimed he was attacking because he was coerced by Guo Huai, but his actions were all for the sake of seizing the evil weapon.

A black and a green force collided, producing a short burst of sound that pushed Liang Gang backward, crashing him into Guo Huai. At this time, Guo Huai was already struggling to survive, the red ribbon wrapped around him like a mummy, leaving only his head exposed.

Without warning, the two of them fell together to the ground. Even though Liang Gang fell, he didn't let go of the dagger in his hand.

Ripple didn't even look at the two of them, turning to help Honglian and Wuyou instead.

Liang Gang watched Ripples turn and leave, only then did he realize something was wrong. Unfortunately, it was too late. A ball of evil energy had already enveloped his entire right arm, which was holding the dagger. He felt a heart-wrenching pain, a scream bursting from his mouth. He struggled to shake his arm, trying to throw away the dagger, but it clung tightly to his palm, refusing to let go.

The dagger's malevolent energy continued to pour out, aiming to consume Liang Gang entirely.

Here, Honglian and Wuyou join forces, already controlling thirteen ordinary people. The golden bowl still hovers above their heads, emitting a faint pale gold light, which slowly calms the thirteen people who are in a state of furious attack.

Ripples flashed into the range of golden light, and with Xuanli-drawn talismans for warding off evil, they rapidly slapped into the chests of the stiffly standing crowd.

Hong Lian waved her hand and took out thirteen jade talismans. She moved lightly among the thirteen people, sticking a talisman on each person's brow. When she reached Zhang Zhàng's face, Zhang Zhàng, who had been somewhat dazed before, immediately spoke:

"Master Hong Lian, I'm fine! It's all an act!"

Zhang Zhang was afraid of the scarlet light and didn't believe it. Immediately, he pulled out a jade Guanyin from his collar. At this time, the jade Guanyin emitted a soft white light, which protected Zhang Zhang's mind and prevented him from becoming a puppet.

"Consider yourself lucky! Get out of here through the hole behind us!"

Hong Lian's feet never stopped. She immediately turned down to the person below, instructing Zhangzhang.

"Can I help you"

Zhang Zhang held the jade Guanyin tightly in his hand. It was his amulet, and now his only reliance.

"You can't help, leave here first. That Jade Guanyin can only protect you from being eroded and controlled by evil spirits; it cannot launch an attack."

Red Lian said succinctly.

Zhang Zhang gritted his teeth, knowing that staying here would only hold Red Yan back. He immediately said:

"Hong Lian Jie, be careful!"

Zhang Zhange, even the Great Master, stopped calling for him. He simply roared and stepped out from under the golden light's cover. Following Wuyou's indication, he squeezed through the passage that only allowed one person to pass through.

Honglian, upon hearing Zhangzhang's words, momentarily hesitated in her actions, allowing Lianri to strike first and drive the exorcism talisman into Lanjie's chest.

They glanced at each other and then ran down to their respective individuals.

The second to regain consciousness was Wu Yong. He only felt a dizzying sensation in his head, like he hadn't woken up from a hangover.

"If you wake up, take them and leave this place. Don't linger!"

Hong Lian recognized Wu Yong, seeing him desperately shaking his head, she knew he had regained consciousness. She immediately whispered in his ear.

"Great!"

Wu Yong reflexively responded with a cry, then immediately pulled up Lan Jie, who was slumped on the ground regaining consciousness, and urged her to stagger away from the side tomb.

When everyone had left, Wuyou retrieved her golden bowl and chanted a Buddhist phrase.

"Master Wuyou, you've worked hard!"

"Not you, it's us who are tired. You two have expended quite a lot of Xuan Qi. Rest and recover quickly!"

"Fortunately, Master Wuyu stabilized the situation. Otherwise, even if Ripple and I had three heads and six arms, we wouldn't have been able to deal with both the sorcerer and rescue thirteen people at the same time."

Hong Lian lavishly showered him with praise.

"Amitabha Buddha! Praise be!"

"Wu Lianyi! Let go of my father!"

Guo Zizheng, having waited for his father for far too long, realized something was amiss when he didn't return. He immediately abandoned the three and rushed back, only to see his father bound in red ribbons like a mummy. He struck at it with a burst of Xuan Qi, but it had no effect whatsoever. It was then that he let out a roar of fury.

In fact, Lian Yi had seen Guo Zi Zheng attacking the red ribbon when he did so. It was just that her internal Xuan Qi hadn't recovered yet, so she didn't want to pay attention to him.

Now that she had been called out by name, she lazily opened her mouth and said:

"I won't!"

"You!"

"It was you who brought me here. Now that I'm inferior to you, I'm going to resort to childish tactics."

Ripples said coolly.

He took a running start, then leaped into the air. Under everyone's gaze, he kicked Guo Zizheng away with one foot. son of a martial arts family as my leading man. I stir up trouble in the martial world, but it's all just small skirmishes. Nothing too outlandish, after all, they're just matters of romance.After a...
