Chapter 185: Chapter 123 Choose One_2

She didn’t recognize the other two adults and a child, but the little boy sitting on the ground was someone she had met before; it was Gouzi who had been abducted by the Yellow Turban Warriors. The child, of course, did not recognize her now, and even the woman who had previously sought help from the Treasure Bead remained motionless on the ground, presumably having pleaded in vain until she was hoarse these past few days and had already fallen into despair.

Just like what she did with the Treasure Bead, she passed the food box through the small window, but for a while, no one came to receive it. People often have a sense of compassion; she bit her lip, wondering whether or not to release these few people and take them away?

The gentleman in her belly, Changtian, already asked, "You want to rescue them?"

She responded softly with an "Mhm."

"Between Wen Liangyu and these people, who do you want to save?" He posed her a multiple-choice question, "I suggest you think it through before answering."

Can’t I have the best of both worlds?

He saw through her thoughts again: "Don’t dream of achieving both, it’s impossible! I do have a way to break the talisman on the door, but as soon as the talisman is broken, that Cultivator surnamed Fan will immediately know."

So indeed, if she rescued the people here, she’d have to run away, leaving Wen Liangyu behind. Forget it, her primary purpose for this trip was Wen Liangyu after all; she might as well check on his situation first and then decide what to do here.

She let out an indiscernible sigh, turned around, and left. These four people were innocent, and the two children were even more pitiable. But what could she do?

The small courtyard of Wen Liangyu was in an even more remote corner. The sky gradually darkened as she walked along the pebbled path of the courtyard. There was no one around, and the shadows of the plants were faint and eerie, as if haunted by ghosts. Perhaps this was why nobody liked to come this way? Fortunately for her who was used to being accompanied by demons, she didn’t find it frightening.

She raised her hand and knocked gently but firmly three times on the wooden door of the courtyard, just three times, like when she had impersonated Tan Qinghe to deliver food. But after a good while, no one responded.

Wen Liangyu wasn’t there? That couldn’t be right, he had sent out the Qingfu coins for help, and this was the only place she knew he stayed. With his abilities, he should have been able to delay the enemies for a while, right?

Without further hesitation, she pushed against the wall with her hand and lightly leaped onto the wall’s top. Ever since she’d learned the Life-or-death Technique, she had often been climbing over walls. It was a bad habit that needed correction.

The courtyard was pitch-dark. But she had the ability to see at night, so she could still make out the surroundings clearly.

Changtian let out a soft exclamation: "The Array here has been changed; it’s not just the Four Symbols Formation anymore, but also the Mist Shadow Blood Evil Array has been added. The original Concealing Breath Array has been lifted, and I can sense that the Little Half-demon is inside the house."

The Mist Shadow Blood Evil Array? Just by its name, one could tell this was no trivial Array.

"Difficult to break?"

"Of course not for me," Changtian bragged as usual, "the Four Symbols Formation focuses on defense, while the Mist Shadow Blood Evil Array is all about offense; one complements the other. Those who rashly enter the formation will suffer. Merely wandering into the Four Symbols Formation at most causes disorientation and hallucinations, but a single wrong step in the Mist Shadow Blood Evil Array will lead to being harrowed by the chill of the netherworld and having one’s life seized by the blood mist without any chance of mercy. The Little Half-demon probably knew someone came looking for trouble, that’s why he set up such a lethal formation."

"Is he in the house then, why didn’t he answer when I knocked?" The little guy was really not being cooperative.

Changtian said indifferently, "It’s not necessarily that he didn’t respond. I’ve observed for a while, and he hasn’t moved; he’s likely been injured and fallen unconscious."

"Meaning that he can’t crawl out to lead me in. What should I do now?" She earnestly sought advice. She knew nothing about Arrays and could only listen to the words of this great God in the prison.

"Listen carefully to my instructions and don’t take a single wrong step. This Blood Evil Formation is quite powerful; it has trapped Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators in ancient times. Luckily, he has only mastered the superficial aspects of this formation, but nonetheless, it is more than enough to deal with Cultivators below the Golden Core Early Stage."

This formation was indeed hard to navigate. Following Changtian’s guidance, she had to take each step with great care, and it took her 15 minutes just to reach the front door of the small building. The autumn night was cool, yet she was sweating profusely on her forehead.

At this critical juncture, she was no longer reserved; she kicked open the main door and called out loudly, "Wen Liangyu!"

"No need to shout, he’s under the square table." Changtian casually reminded her.

Looking down, she indeed spotted a pair of legs protruding from under the table. She quickly circled the table and saw Wen Liangyu lying on the ground, unconscious.

Was he dead? She hurriedly leaned on his chest, and heard his heart beating steadily and strongly. Although the frequency was somewhat slower than that of an average person, it was undeniably the heartbeat of a healthy person, not even injured.

"Wen Liangyu, Wen Liangyu!" She shook him several times, but he remained unrousable.

Inside the Wen Residence, there was another powerful Golden Core Middle Stage God, and one that was unfriendly towards her. She didn’t have time to waste here. Changtian, reveling in her dilemma, said: "Now what will you do?"

"Watch Granny’s unbeatable secret skill!" She grabbed Wen Liangyu’s collar with one hand and, with a flip of her hand, delivered four crisp slaps to his face!

Slap slap slap slap! The four crisp sounds carried far in the quiet night.

Changtian and Qiongqi: "..."

Qiongqi cleared his throat and said, "Mistress, I actually intended to suggest that you bring Soul Calming Incense and use it on him."

"Isn’t the Soul Calming Incense for calming souls, how can it wake him up?"

"Just use it in reverse."
