The Plan Was Going Smoothly

Those few members of the Moonless Household came in the name of the City Lord's Mansion, so even the Yin Mountain Sect could not openly confront them.

After all, this concerns the dignity of the city lord's mansion.

If the Yin Mountain Sect does not obey the City Lord's orders, then when the Liu Household takes over the City Lord's office in the future, the Moonless Household can also disobey them in the same way.

In that case, what prestige would the City Lord's Mansion still have in Moonless City?

So even though they hated the Moonless Household, no one dared to stop them when they arrived with the city lord's mansion token.

But Gu Wangchuan wasn't from Moonless City and would leave sooner or later, so why would he be afraid of them?

He immediately jumped out and started cursing. "What nonsense are you talking about? The three of us have only exchanged a few words with him at most. With his rotten temper, if he hasn't offended anyone in Moonless City, do you think he hasn't offended people in other parts of the Hidden Nether Realm?"

"Besides, the three of us stayed in the guest courtyard last night; none of us went out. The disciples of the Yin Mountain Sect can testify to this for us. We didn't leave at all! If you want to frame someone, at least come up with a better reason!"

Gu Wangchuan showed no respect for them whatsoever, and even hoped to tear the Moonless Household's face off and trample on them.

The group that came to arrest them weren't exactly patient people to begin with, and now that they heard the other party dare to speak rudely to them, they immediately wanted to take action.

With so many Yin Mountain Sect disciples blocking their way, if a major conflict were to break out between them and the Yin Mountain Sect, the next two matches might not even need to continue.

Considering these concerns, Wuyue Wensheng, the leader, could only continue to persuade them, "Gentlemen, we haven't yet determined the cause of Gao Heng's death. We've only suspected you and want to take you in for questioning. If it truly has nothing to do with you, we will certainly release you quickly."

He paused, his gaze sweeping lightly over Liu Duanyue and the others. "You probably don't want to involve the Yin Mountain Sect because of this, do you?"

His approach of feigning politeness before resorting to force clearly indicated that he was certain Sang Ying and the Yin Mountain Sect wouldn't dare to truly oppose them. After all, the current situation was extremely favorable for them, and if they were to fight against those carrying out the orders of the City Lord's Mansion at this time, they wouldn't benefit themselves either.

Gu Wangchuan listened to these words, he felt more and more that the Moonless Household was shameless!

This is clearly using the Yin Mountain Sect to threaten them!

Jiang Zhuoxue coldly observed all of this and secretly whispered in Sang Ying's ear, "Do you want me to help you take care of them?"

Although his injuries haven't healed yet, using others to deal with the Moonless Household isn't out of the question. It's just that he'll probably have to bleed money again.

Upon hearing Jiang Zhuoxue's words, Sang Ying knew what he was planning.

That would certainly not work. Although she loathed the Moonless Household's schemes, she had finally managed to rescue Jiang Zhuoxue. What if his special abilities were discovered, thus exposing her identity?

Moreover, Sang Ying didn't want to cause trouble for the Yin Mountain Sect because of this.

Thinking this, she stepped out from the crowd. "Are you really sure this has anything to do with the three of us?"

Wuyue Wensheng, of course, wouldn't say something so certain, "We only have some suspicions. To find out the truth, we'll probably need the cooperation of the three of you. We promise we won't harm you; we'll wait until the truth comes out before..."

"I'm afraid your Moonless Household already knows the so-called truth, doesn't it?" Upon hearing this, Sang Ying basically guessed what they were planning to do.

They were simply worried that if they lost another match, the Moonless Household would completely lose control of Moonless City, so they resorted to this stupid method to lock them up and prevent them from participating in the second match.

However, they were somewhat sensible. Judging from their words, they probably didn't intend to pin Gao Heng's death on them. At most, they would lock them up for two or three days and then release them properly.

However, Sang Ying would not let them scheme against her.

"Okay, we'll go with you!" she agreed in front of everyone.

Wuyue Wensheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that he wouldn't be able to complete this task and would be punished by the family head. Fortunately, that Fellow Daoist Sang still cared about the Yin Mountain Sect.

He sincerely said, "Fellow Daoist Sang, you made a very correct decision."

But while they were happy, Lin Yan and the other disciples of the Yin Mountain Sect were saddened.

One by one, they were either trying to persuade Sang Ying not to go with them, or glaring angrily at Wuyue Wensheng.

Although Gu Wangchuan was also puzzled by Sang Ying's choice, he had absolutely no objections. He didn't know about other things, but having known Sang Ying for so long, he knew that she was someone who would never let herself be taken advantage of.

Since she's willing to swallow this insult, it means the Moonless Household will soon face an even more severe blow than what happened today!

Gu Wangchuan eagerly awaited that day.

As for Jiang Zhuoxue, he had no idea; his only thought was to act together with Sang Ying.

Thus, despite the strong disapproval of the Yin Mountain Sect members, the matter was still finalized.

However, before leaving, Sang Ying made a condition. "Since we've gotten involved in this, we'll probably have to stay at the City Lord's Mansion for a few days, so we definitely can't participate in the second round of the competition tomorrow."

This was also Wuyue Wensheng and the others' purpose, so when Sang Ying mentioned it, the group's expressions inevitably became a bit strange.

"So before I leave, I'd like to say a few words to the young sect leader. Surely the City Lord's Mansion can't even wait this long?" Sang Ying continued.

They could certainly wait that long, but Wuyue Wensheng was worried that if the time was delayed too long, something unpleasant might happen, so he was somewhat reluctant.

However, the Yin Mountain Sect didn't care whether he was willing or not, and Sang Ying immediately led her people back into the house. Liu Duanyue, halfway there, glared defiantly at Wuyue Wensheng and said to his junior brother, "Junior brother, come inside quickly, let your Fellow Daoist Sang explain the key points for tomorrow!"

The junior apprentice answered loudly and went inside without turning his head.

No one knows what they said inside; they just waited for fifteen minutes before the people inside came out.

As Sang Ying walked, she reminded Liu Duanyue, "You must persevere. If you don't, you definitely won't be able to get past the fifth level. Trust me, once you get past the fifth level, the rest will be much easier."

Liu Duanyue glanced cautiously at Wuyue Wensheng, and only after confirming that he hadn't heard her words did she nod seriously to Sang Ying.

"Don't worry, we will definitely win this match!"

Now, Sang Ying has no choice but to trust them.

Having finished their final words, Sang Ying and the other two finally boarded the flying Law Artifact bound for the City Lord's Mansion, where they would be imprisoned for two days.

These are things that everyone knows, and things that the disciples of the Yin Mountain Sect secretly resent.

However, no one noticed that after boarding the flying Law Artifact, Gu Wangchuan, leaning against Sang Ying, let out a small breath and winked at Liu Duanyue below.

Everything is progressing smoothly.
