Chapter 629: Being Played Around, Almost Exhausted Spiritual Power
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Xu Bo said with a dark expression, “We’re all exhausted and haven’t even had any time to rest. The spiritual girl has almost exhausted her power and can’t activate the array formation again.”
Mrs. Xing didn’t want to listen to him at all. She broke down and shouted. “Aren’t you from a righteous sect? Isn’t it your job to subdue demons? Why aren’t you doing it? Why aren’t you saving people? Hurry up and set up the formation. If you delay, my daughter will be killed.”
The other two madams also cried and begged. “Masters, I beg you. Please set up the array formation to save them. If you can’t do it, who can?”
Xu Bo’s face darkened. “You’re being unreasonable. Don’t force us. If we can, we’ll do our best. When the spiritual girl is well-rested, we’ll definitely be able to activate the formation again. If we forcefully set up the formation now, the spiritual girl’s spiritual power will be exhausted and she’ll die.”
This was a long battle. Three madams who had lost their beloved daughter lost their minds, but the others did not.
Now that three had been taken away, it meant that there would be a short period of peace and safety.
“Mrs. Xing, don’t always think about the worst scenario. The princess is already so tired. That evil person was burned by the princess. He must be very tired too. When the princess rests well, she will help.”
“That’s right. It’s not like something bad wall happen to your daughter. Let’s pray together…”
“Let the princess rest first. If the princess is exhausted, who can protect our daughter?”
“Yes, yes, yes…”
At this moment, they reached an agreement.
Mrs. Fang fainted and was quickly carried away.
The other two madams did not speak again and could only cry silently.
The sky was already bright as carriages left the mansion one after another.
They were on tenterhooks. It was unknown if the evil man was injured by Xia Qiluo or he only wanted to take away three people, but in the next two days, no one else went missing.
After recuperating for two days, Xia Qiluo had also recovered half of her strength.
Just as she was about to leave the mansion, she felt a pair of eyes staring at her. Xia Qiluo instantly became vigilant. A golden pen slid out of her sleeve and she drew a rune in the air before striking in a direction.
The golden rune flew away and disappeared. The pair of eyes had already changed positions. Xia Qiluo gritted her teeth and heard a chuckle.
“Seventh Princess, you can’t catch me.”
Liu Shun’s voice was arrogant.
Xia Qiluo drew runes very quickly. Countless runes shot out in all directions, burning with raging flames.
In the air, Liu Shun said with a chuckle, “Seventh Princess, see you at the city gate. I’ll return the missing women, but you have to be fast. If you’re slow, those hungry wild dogs won’t be able to wait.”
Outside the city gate, there were many hungry wild dogs.
Liu Shun’s voice faded away. Xia Qiluo gritted her teeth and immediately gave the order. She tapped her feet and flew away.
At the city gate.
With a bang, three corpses fell to the ground. When the gate guardians saw it, their expressions were solemn. The wild dogs wandering around had already surrounded the corpses.
The gate guardian hurriedly drew his sword to chase the dogs away. The three corpses were already rotten and smelly.
Their clothes were disheveled, and their eyes were wide open.
Xia Qiluo arrived and looked at the three corpses with a dark expression.
When she returned to the princess’s mansion, ten madams knelt in front of her with red eyes. “Princess, please save our daughters.”
Another ten people disappeared.
Xia Qiluo’s expression darkened. She began to prepare the array formation. Fortunately, the disciples of the Cloud Breaking Sect were all in the capital. It did not take long to gather them.
The array formation was activated, and the ten women were brought back safely.
Xia Qiluo’s face was pale. Her spiritual power was almost exhausted.
Xia Qiluo looked at the people who were overcome with the joy of reuniting with their daughter and said, “My spiritual power is almost exhausted. If anyone else is taken away, I won’t have the strength to set up the array formation again. The talismans you have can injure him. Don’t always wait for me to save you. If you’re really taken away, you have to fight for yourself.”
Why didn’t they resist? Instead, they were all crying and waiting to be saved.
As long as they had some courage to fight back, they could save themselves.
Xia Qiluo was extremely weak and her tone was cold. She had been fooled again and again by that evil guy and was filled with anger. In her eyes, Liu Shun was just an ant. She could crush him to death in minutes.
However, now, she was played like a clown by Liu Shun. All these young ladies knew was just to cry and wait to be saved. Xia Qiluo’s strength and patience were all exhausted.
Xia Qiluo leaned against Xu Ran and Xu Qing and went to rest.
They left the terrified madams behind. They carried their daughters and hurriedly returned.
If anything happened again, Xia Qiluo would no longer have the strength to set up the array formation.
Now, everyone could only pray that their daughter would not be the unlucky one.
Wu Changxian frowned. After coming out of the palace, he went straight to see Liu Sanniang.
Two consorts were missing from the palace. Xia Bingguang summoned Wu Changxian and told him not to care about Xia Qiluo and look for Liu Sanniang directly.
After receiving the order, Wu Changxian left the palace in a hurry. After so long, the evil man was still not caught. The emperor’s patience was wearing thin.
Xia Bingguang gave Xia Qiluo enough time, but it turned out that Xia Qiluo could not solve this matter. No matter what grudge Xia Qiluo had with Liu Sanniang, she had to let it go for the time being because the most important thing was to catch the evil man as soon as possible.
Wu Changxian knocked on the door of the courtyard. The door opened and he walked in. He said worriedly, “Miss Liu, Seventh Princess is at her wit’s end. Do you know what we should do to catch him? If so, just tell me.”
Liu Sanniang had already heard the bad news from Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan. She looked at Wu Changxian and said, “Liu Shun s power is special. I only have one way. Get someone to lure him out. I’ll use a formation to trap him and slowly break his ability before catching him.”
Wu Changxian asked with a sigh. “But who can lure him out?”
Liu Shun was simply a demon. Those three corpses had all been tortured brutally before they died. He was simply a demon in the mortal world. He deliberately played Xia Qiluo around just to exhaust her spiritual power so that she could no longer set up array formations to save people. After this, he would capture and torture people to death at his leisure.
Liu Sanniang looked at Wu Changxian and said, “Put up recruitment posters all over the capital. Anyone is fine as long as they can meet three criteria. They have to be bold, look down on despicable people like Liu Shun, and dare to attack him..”
