If he didn’t have the ability to remain invisible, it wouldn’t be so difficult to catch him.
Su Yanyu could not understand.
Liu Sanniang said somewhat mockingly, “It’s a gift from god.”
Su Yanyu immediately found it unbelievable. “That’s impossible. A god wouldn’t do such an evil thing. It’s immoral to kill like this. I don’t believe it’s a godsend gift.”
Liu Sanniang looked at Su Yanyu. “But some people will believe it.”
Su Yanyu was a little angry. “Are they stupid? How can they believe such nonsense?”
Su Yanyu was angry and anxious. “As long as we don’t catch that crazy guy, we will not have peace. Xia Qiluo looks very capable, but she only knows some gimmicky tricks.”
It was already dark.
Su Yanyu returned to the Marquis mansion, and Liu Sanniang had also fallen asleep. Wei Meng quickly fell asleep. Her breathing was stable, as if in Wei Meng’s mind, there was no midnight demon at all. She fell asleep without worry.
There were an abnormally large number of people in the princess’s mansion tonight. Even though it was heavily guarded, no one could feel at ease because they knew in their hearts that it was useless, no matter how many soldiers there were.
Xia Qiluo looked exhausted. She listened to the faint sobbing and felt annoyed for no reason.
She could hear all the commotion outside. Why could she feel where Liu Shun was, but she just couldn’t catch him? She was so close to catching him every time, but Liu Shun could always escape like a ghost. Her array formation was completely ineffective.
The best way was to lure him out and kill him, but who would dare to be the bait?
Xia Qiluo frowned, her face filled with annoyance. These young ladies were selfish. Even if they were in the princess’s mansion now, they knew that it was not safe. What they hoped for was that no matter who was taken away, as long as it was not them, it would be fine.
Xu Ran walked to Xia Qiluo’s side and injected a stream of spiritual power into her. “Don’t exhaust your mind. We’ll catch him sooner or later. If we can save these people, we’ll save them. If we can’t, let it be.”
Xia Qiluo nodded. “1 know.”
In her heart, Xia Qiluo actually did not want to save these people. They were snobbish and selfish. In order to save them, she had used half of her power, and it would take a long time for her to recover.
“All…” Outside, several women screamed. They ran towards the inner hall in fear and pushed open the door. Their eyes were filled with extreme fear.
“Princess, she’s gone. She’s gone all of a sudden in front of us.”
The woman at the front spoke in a trembling voice.
A living person had disappeared in front of them, vanished. It made them understand that the demon was by their side, waiting to take them away at any time.
Xia Qiluo immediately got someone to count heads. There were ten people missing again.
The people in the outer hall also entered the inner hall. Those who found their daughters heaved a sigh of relief. Those who did not find their daughters knelt down to Xia Qiluo and begged her to save their daughters again.
Xia Qiluo’s expression was dark. She couldn’t say no to them and could only get the disciples of the Cloud Breaking Sect to immediately prepare the array formation.
The array formation was set up very smoothly. A large amount of power surged out of Xia Qiluo’s body and lit up the array formation. Soon, ten terrified young ladies appeared in the middle of the array formation. When they saw Xia Qiluo, they immediately rejoiced.
The disciples of the Cloud Breaking Sect had just stood up when they heard cries outside again.
Ten more were gone.
Xia Qiluo’s expression was cold, and the color on her lips faded.
Xu Ran and Xu Qing frowned. “You have overexerted your strength. That evil person is clearly playing with you. Don’t fall for his trick. You can’t do it again. Rest first. We’ll think about what to do tomorrow.”
The madams who were worried about their daughter’s safety immediately cried. “Princess, please save our daughter.”
When they heard that she was not going to save their daughter, they were all frightened. If they waited until the next morning, who knew how many people would die?
Xia Qiluo felt angry. “Since he’s courting death, 1’11 grant him the wish. Set up the array formation.”
Xu Ran, Xu Qing, and the others sat back down.
The array formation was lit up again. Xia Qiluo spat out a mouthful of blood and supported the array formation with one hand while using the other to send a purple flame into the array formation and disappear.
When the ten women appeared in the array formation, a ferocious and angry roar entered everyone’s ears. The array formation disappeared, and the captured women returned.
Xia Qiluo’s face was extremely pale. She spat out another mouthful of blood. Xu Ran and Xu Qing quickly stood up, carried Xia Qiluo, and left. Everyone looked at Xia Qiluo worriedly.
Although Xia Qiluo could not catch the evil man, she could bring back people taken by him, so her safety was very important.
These young ladies leaned against each other, trembling. Their beautiful faces were extremely haggard, and no one dared to go home.
Their mothers hugged them tightly and kept telling them not to be afraid.
Seeing that the sky was getting brighter bit by bit, just as people thought that they could finally relax, a heart-wrenching scream made them jump up with fright.
“Ah… where’s my daughter? Where’s my daughter…”
Mrs. Xing screamed hysterically. She was hugging her daughter tightly. Seeing that it was almost dawn, she was about to take her daughter home when her daughter suddenly disappeared.
Then, there were more screams and cries. Just like Madam Xing, the daughters they were holding disappeared.
“Quick, go and get the princess to help.”
Mrs. Xing knelt down in front of a Cloud Breaking Sect disciple and begged. Her voice was trembling as she sobbed. “I beg you, hurry up. As long as Princess helps, my daughter will definitely be saved, just like before.”
The other two madams also knelt down and begged. “Please, you’re the masters. Please save our daughter.”
Xu Yue could not bear to watch and turned his face away. They helped Xia Qiluo set up the array formation several times. Although they were as exhausted as Xia Qiluo, they were still very tired.
Xia Qiluo did not have the strength to activate the array formation again. Without Xia Qiluo, they could not do it anyways..
