That was Murong's voice.
In fact, his reaction shouldn't have been faster than Wei Gongcheng's. After all, Wei Gongcheng was in the Underworld, and his current mental strength was already at the Above First Rank expert, which was far beyond what a child like Murong Bingyun could compare to.
The reason Murong was able to notice it faster was because he felt a burning sensation in his blood.
The people who launched the sudden attack were from the Murong Family!
Unfortunately, no matter how fast one senses, it can't outpace the person who suddenly appears.
A flash of blue light caught Wei Gongcheng, who was completely focused on Ziyue and her group, completely off guard. Moreover, the power emanating from that drum came from outside the Underworld!
A beam of blue light pierced through Wei Gongcheng, instantly leaving him stunned!
Murong also saw someone incredulously.
"Aunt."
Before I came here, my family had emphasized to me that if I encountered any trouble in Jiangnan, that elder would be my support!
"Oh? The little guy's all grown up."
It was Murong Yunji!
Wei Gongcheng, who was locked up, was dragged out of the Underworld before he could even react. Ziyue and her group also left the Underworld instantly, leaving Murong Bingyun standing there in a daze.
The rapid fluctuations in his emotions left him completely unable to process them.
Just when I thought I had given up hope, I met my savior.
Originally, it was thought that the Lord of the Underworld had the upper hand, having used him to trap the enemy and securing victory, but the situation had turned around so quickly.
What was even more unexpected was that the one who made the move was actually the very person the Murong Family had always longed for!
He still remembers how much his family missed the former Wind King.
Even if that person was forced to marry someone else.
The family still wanted him to rely on her.
How would his family feel if they knew that the very same Wind King, who had brought glory to the Murong Family, was among those who had killed him alongside the evil spirits?
Sitting on the ground, Murong Bingyun stared blankly into space. The entire process, from despair to hope and back to despair, took less than a dozen breaths.
He was truly exhausted.
Let things be as they are.
"We arrived just in time!"
Ziyue's expression was calm, completely different from A Li and Heart Demon, who both looked like they had just survived a disaster.
"You planned this all along?" The straw man looked at Ziyue, his eyes filled with anger!
"Otherwise, how could we have captured this one?" Ziyue looked at Wei Gongcheng, whose collarbone had been pierced and whose entire body was controlled by wind energy. " A Li!"
A Li snapped out of her daze, glanced at Chen Ying, who looked somewhat bewildered behind Murong Yunji, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Ziyue had secretly brought Murong Yunji in through this guy. Modifying Chen Ying's memories back then was a brilliant move.
A Li approached Wei Gongcheng, her dark pupils began to radiate a captivating pink hue.
Wei Gongcheng was taken aback. Wasn't the Thousand-Faced Fox only able to control people of a lower level than himself?
Seeing Wei Gongcheng, Ziyue, unusually in a good mood, explained, " A Li's ability can actually modify everyone's memories, but it takes time. Moreover, once activated, it will trigger the instinctive vigilance of the person being targeted. Therefore, if Ah Li's level is not high enough to instantly modify the other party's memories when facing a powerful opponent, it will not easily take action. However, in a situation like yours, where you are completely controlled, it is different."
"I see." Wei Gongcheng sighed, glancing at the bewildered Chen Ying: "I knew she might be under your control, but I never expected you to use yourself as bait!"
"Your impromptu setup wasn't bad," Ziyue nodded. "But my goal was you from the start, so even if this was truly your oversight, I'll be waiting for you in the Underworld."
"That's really impressive." Wei Gongcheng smiled wryly. In the end, it was because the other party was too powerful. They were even able to open a hole in a place like the Underworld Underworld.
Ultimately, design skills are what matter.
With a wry smile, under A Li's influence, Wei Gongcheng's eyes gradually became hazy. But in the moment of his blurred and confused consciousness, he suddenly shut down all his senses. In an instant, the pink in A Li's eyes flickered and then vanished.
"This guy," A Li was taken aback, "How did he know?"
" Chen Qing taught you, didn't he?" Ziyue sighed. "The fact that sealing your seven senses can temporarily block you is a secret known to very few people in the world. I really don't know where that guy Chen Qing got so much information about us?"
"What should we do then?"
"Don't worry." Ziyue shook her head. "The seven senses are sealed, and there will be strong signs when they are reopened. As long as you keep watch, you can control him again whenever he wakes up. Wei Gongcheng is not here, Chen Ying is under your control, and Liuzhou is now under your control. I can go to the Dragon Palace with peace of mind."
A Li stared blankly at Ziyue, hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Be careful."
Ziyue smiled at the other person, "Concerned about me?"
"I'm afraid if you die, I won't be able to keep up with the flow."
"Okay," Ziyue smiled gently. The look in her eyes when she looked at A Li was always soft, completely different from when she looked at others.
"Let's go." Murong Yunji glanced at the straw figure. " Wei Gongcheng's seclusion will probably last for ten days to half a month. You won't be able to wait until the Underworld opens."
"You did this on purpose!" The straw man glared at Murong Yunji and said coldly, "With your speed, you could have easily brought that kid out with you."
"So what if it was intentional?" Murong Yunji sneered, "You plotted to murder my nephew behind my back, but did you get my permission?"
Scarecrow: "."
"Heh, you'd better be able to prove yourself useful at the Dragon Palace this time, otherwise, you'll never get what you want in your lifetime. My word is law!"
"You"
"Alright!" Ziyue glanced at the sky. "We've wasted too much time. Baiyu has sent word that we only have seven days left. I reckon the Princess and that one from the West Sea have already arrived. We need to set off as soon as possible!"
"Good"
"Take care here." Ziyue looked at A Li.
"Alright, what else could I possibly have on my side? But you," A Li said seriously, "That Chen Qing guy is not easy to deal with. Be careful!"
I know.

"Oh?" In the distance, Chen Qing suddenly sensed something, and with a wave of his hand, he heard Wei Gongcheng's words.
"Father, what did he say?"
"This guy is quite daring!" Chen Qing looked at the fifty-word message Wei Gongcheng sent and roughly understood his plan. He immediately took a breath.
I used to think he was a reliable person, but I never expected him to take such a risky approach. It seems that honest people are only honest on the surface.
"Father, will this work?"
"I don't know, but under those circumstances, his plan was already at its limit."
Chen Qing smiled with satisfaction.
With Ziyue, Murong Yunji, the unsealed Thousand-Faced Fox, and the Heart Demon that can corrupt people's hearts, this lineup, coupled with Shen Qi's preemptive mishap and Chen Ying's likely being controlled, leaves him vulnerable and unable to fight alone, while he is not allowed to mobilize other God of the Underworld for a direct confrontation.
It's truly unexpected that he could come up with this idea under such circumstances. Indeed, my judgment was correct; this guy is someone I can entrust with great responsibilities!

"Why don't you take a break?"
At the foot of Great Azure Mountain, looking at Wei Gongzhan, who was panting heavily and whose wounds, which had only recently healed, had reopened due to excessive walking, Xiaoli frowned and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
"Don't worry, when your mother comes back and finds out I ran away, she'll probably skin me alive!"
Xiaoli was speechless. She actually disliked her mother eating people. She didn't understand why her mother, who looked exactly like her, had to eat people.
"We've arrived." Wei Gongzhan looked at the familiar location ahead and quickly crawled forward.
"Slow down, what is this?"
The Xiaoli became alert upon seeing the glowing runes.
Wei Gongzhan his arm directly towards the mark, and as soon as the mark and rune on his arm matched, a bright light rang out, and a familiar voice appeared.
"Hmm, I remember. You should be Shiyi Sister's second son, right?"
Wei Gongzhan there, stunned. He recognized the figure that appeared in the light. It was a man dressed in black and wearing a mask. Everyone in Liuzhou recognized him. He was the Lord of the Underworld, whom everyone in Liuzhou revered!
Unlike the highly respected Battle God Xu Hu, the Lord of the Underworld is more relatable, mysterious, and awe-inspiring.
He never imagined that the Lord of the Underworld, whom everyone worshipped, was actually his cousin!
"If you receive this message, it means I've been taken into custody!!!"
Wei Gongzhan: "."
There's another chapter tonight. I'll finally be able to finish all the missed chapters today, hahaha, it wasn't easy, I'm so sorry!
