Chapter 6: Attacking the city lord's mansion
Qianli, who finished her preparations, retrieved a small compass from her ring, then she took a blood example of Xiao Feng's blood that was tattered on the rock which he hit his head earlier.
She placed the blood on the center of the compass, and the small needle shook, then pointed at a certain direction.
" Alright, let's go and see who dares come here stir up troubles! "
" My Lord! I have good news! "
" ..... "
The Lord who was still wearing a dark expression sitting on his chair all the time finally opened his eyes and saw the second subordinate that he sent earlier kneeling on the floor.
" What are you talking about? Good news? You retrieved my son's corpse but can you bring him back to life?! "
" I dare not my Lord! But the young master, he is still alive! "
Hearing the last sentence, The city Lord finally stood up.
" What?!! Bring me to him NOW! "
....
" My lord, the physician is treating him right now as we speak. He is still unconscious ... "
If the city Lord knew that the injuries on his son were his subordinate's fault, he would probably have strangled him to death right now.
" Whaa..what happened? how did he get injured?! Who dared to make him into this mess? Bring him I'll castrate him right now! "
Hearing his threats, the second subordinate couldn't help but shiver and put his hands between his legs.
At this time, his first and third brother finally came walking through the door, seeing them he couldn't help but feel a little relieved, at least now they could come up with an appropriate story and blame it all on the kidnapper.
But .... why did they not bring the kidnapper with them? could it be they killed him and left his corpse there?!
" My lord !"
the 2 brothers knelt on the floor.
" Speak, who did this? who kidnapped my son and... "
Without letting him finish his sentence, the third brother answered abruptly.
" It was a girl, a formation master! "
Hearing his answer, the lord who was angry before now had a gloomy and darkened expression in his face.
Nice job third brother, I know you are stupid most of the times, but right now you really saved us and our.... urgh...
" A formation master... a formation master... how could it be possible? Why would another one appear here unless ... "
" Unless it has to do with those sects! But first, give me a detailed report on what happened there ."
Qianli, following the direction, finally found her way to the city lord's residence. She stood there and narrowed her eyes.
" It seems they are hiding here, could it be that those guys were the city lord's servants? "
A thought crossed her mind, this past day she has been gathering information about this city and of course, she heard a lot about the city lord, the important people who live here, and those who came from a faraway place. She had a basic understanding of how this kingdom works.
" Xiao Feng, If I remember correctly the city Lord's name is Xiao Yang... could it be a certain relative, maybe his father or uncle? "
" Either way, they dared to send disrespectful people to my house, they should know the consequences! And furthermore, I still need to hear his answer... "
She was happy when she saw him back, but then that moment of happiness didn't last ten minutes after he was already gone. This time she won't let him get away.
" Alright, it's time to stir troubles! "
" And that's how we came back ... "
Listening to their story, the city lord had a huge change on his face.
" It seems this girl isn't one of those sects, no she doesn't even seem to be from this place... "
The subordinates told him the story like it was at first, but then they changed to ending saying that they entered the house and found the young master there with his injuries and brought him like that. Sweat was running down their foreheads while they were covering up the truth.
The city Lord, unconvinced, asked them a question with a serious expression on his face
" I have a feeling that you still are hiding something from ...."
BOOM!
Suddenly, an explosion was heard, the 4 of them shifted their gaze toward the courtyard.
" RAAawWR! "
Hearing this barking, the first and second brother was shivering inside. Could it be...
" Damn it! it's those dogs again!! "
" Master, I think it's that formation master, she came to retrieve him! "
" HOW DARE SHE! Go take the other squads to lead and bring me her head now! "
" Yes! "
The 3 subordinates rushed to the courtyard, fighting with the dogs weren't particularly a joyous thing for them, but at the very least it was better than staying with the city lord until he finds out the truth!
Inside the room, only Xiao Fang and his father were there alone. Xiao Yang was sitting guarding his son.
If the intruder's goal is to come for Xiao Feng, then ...
" Damn, this dog doesn't get injured at all! "
" I told you! it's a mirage array! we need to find the spirit patterns and destroy them, or find the formation master ..."
The 3 squads were currently fighting with the hell's hound, Qianli, who earlier set up this formation, already snuck to the interior of the residence while wearing servant's clothes to not get their attention. Then she headed toward the room where Xiao Feng was.
" If I'm not mistaken, he should be ... "
Right when she wanted to open the door, a deadly Qi rose next to her, she couldn't help but turn around, then a fist came flying from nowhere to her face.
Fortunately, she was prepared, even if she didn't have cultivation, she still mastered martial arts, her body could sustain some damage before collapsing. She raised her guard and tried to block the incoming attack, which sent her crashing to the door and breaking to the inside of the room.
" You have some guts to kidnap and harm my son, and now you even came here to take him?!"
Standing up, with some blood flowing from her head, she could barely keep her balance. She asked in a hazy tone
" You are.. misunderstanding, I did ... not ... "
" Keep your excuses, I'll hear them after torturing you in the prison! "
At that statement, he released his Qi and rushed again to her.
I can't fight him head on, I'll be dead before even injuring him. I have no choice I'll have to use that ...
She put some of her blood on her right arm where inscriptions were already set before. Then she shouted.
" Basic formation: Chains of light! "
When Xiao Yang's fist was nearly 3 feet from her, golden chains came from underground and stopped his movements, then they strangled his body and kept him from moving.
" What.. how.. Can this be possible?! I"m at spiritual realm rank 8, why are these chains so... "
He tried to get away, but he couldn't move an inch. Then he released his Qi...
" AAAAAh!"
He kept releasing his Qi to destroy the chains, but the golden chain's property sealed off his cultivation and absorbed his Qi.
Unless someone already attained the Master realm, they couldn't destroy this basic formation at all!
Qianli who was painting got close to Xiao Feng who was still sleeping on his bed.
" DON'T YOU DARE GO NEAR MY SON! "
At his shout, Xiao Feng opened his eyes slowly.
Qianli who was rejoicing, smiled when she tried to speak but the boy opened his mouth before her.
" Who... who are you? "
Shocked, strange emotions soared her heart, then with a hint of disappointment, she quickly left the room.
The chains that were subduing Xiao Yang disappeared, he then took his son in his embrace and spoke lightly to him.
" Are you okay??!! "
" fa... father?"
As long as he remembered, his father never took him in his embrace before, he felt some sort of happiness. His tears came down his cheeks and he cried like a 5 years old.
" It's okay, father will never let you go away again... "
Qianli who finally escaped the mansion, went into hiding, to recuperate her injuries earlier.
" Is it amnesia? Perhaps it's better this way... "
Her expression was dark, her eyes were barely open because of all the fatigue and the injuries. She couldn't stand up anymore.
" I need to recuperate, even just a little, before the... "
At that, she collapsed near a wall.
