"Uncle, do you think this person will really be taken away?" Yong Shanling and Mu Yijie were hiding on a tall building. Looking at the people moving inside the window in front of them, she said hesitantly, "After all, there are nearly four or five hundred thousand people in Huai City. Even if this person has a great deal of merit, it may not necessarily be him."
"Sooner or later, it will be him. They don't have many other choices." Mu Yijie watched the old man hunched over in the window, slowly tidying up the room. A dark glint flashed in his eyes.
This old man was the director of a kindergarten. His mother was the previous director. For the sake of the children in the orphanage, he had never gotten married and had dedicated himself to being the "mother" of the children for thirty years.
The merit on such a person was undoubtedly extremely great. After all, the number of children she had raised over the years was nearly a thousand. The merit these children gave back to her increased year by year.
Most importantly, she had no relatives, and there was no blood - relation between the children in the orphanage and the director.
So, how could those people not target such a "fat sheep"? A faint smile curled up on Mu Yijie's lips. He just calmly waited for those greedy creatures to take the bait.
Li Zhuo and Hou Hua were waiting in ambush beside another person they had found, someone who was lonely and had a great deal of merit. Now they were just waiting for the fish to take the bait.
Sure enough, while the two were talking, they saw two people in black robes suddenly appear in the room where there had originally been only one person.
The two of them perked up and stared intently at the two black - robed people.
Wang Fang was extremely tired after simply tidying up her home. She was just about to sit on the sofa to rest when suddenly she felt that there was something extra around her. All the hairs on her body stood on end, as if there was a more powerful being staring at her intently.
She suddenly turned around and saw two dark shadows flash in front of her eyes. Immediately afterwards, she lost consciousness and slumped softly to the ground.
Mu Yijie and Yong Shanling closely followed the dark shadow. The shadow ran faster and faster. Gradually, they felt exhausted. They had already followed the shadow into the forest.
The trees in the forest were lush. Specks of sunlight filtered through the branches and fell on the ground, making it seem a bit dim.
They got lost in the forest and couldn't find their way, let alone the black - clothed person.
Yong Shanling looked back and didn't find Mu Yijie's trace. She couldn't help but feel a bit flustered. "Uncle, where are you?" Yong Shanling shouted loudly.
"Ling'er, I'm here!"
"What should we do? Uncle, we've lost them!" She ran to Mu Yijie's side.
"We lost them, but they must be nearby. It's impossible for them to run that fast. Look carefully. There must be some clues around here. Search carefully." Mu Yijie comforted her softly.
After that, the two of them carefully searched in the jungle. Yong Shanling quickly scanned the grass. At this time, she found a severed little finger.
"Uncle, come and take a look quickly."
"Ling'er, what's wrong?"
"Uncle, there's a severed little finger here!" Yong Shanling said seriously.
Mu Yijie wrapped it with a handkerchief and carefully examined it in front of his eyes. A cold smile curled up on his lips.
"It seems they're nearby. We're about to succeed. Be careful."
At this time, he noticed that the ground was a bit moist, and some parts even showed signs of being turned over. A surprised look flashed in his eyes.
"I've found it!"
"Really? Uncle, you're amazing!" Yong Shanling walked to his side. She used her spiritual power to test it and immediately felt a hidden formation.
Yong Shanling carefully sensed the formation around her. She found that this formation was different from the usual ones. It was a bit distorted, which made her feel a bit surprised. "Uncle, this should be a formation, but my ability is not enough to break it."
She lowered her head dejectedly, tightly pursing her lips, looking extremely aggrieved.
Suddenly, a sentence flashed through Yong Shanling's mind: There is no perfect formation in this world. All formations have loopholes.
Yong Shanling carefully checked the formation again. Sure enough, in an unremarkable corner, there was exactly a loophole she had seen in an ancient book. She took out a small thing and flicked it into the formation. Immediately, a crack appeared there, just big enough for a person to pass through.
The two quickly went in. On the way, they met many guards on patrol, but they didn't alert anyone.
After walking for about half an hour, they finally walked out of the long tunnel and came to a cave.
Yong Shanling went in first, but was stunned by the sight in front of her. She was trembling all over as she stared ahead. Mu Yijie was startled by her reaction and quickly stepped forward. He saw that there were all kinds of cages hanging everywhere in front of them, and inside the cages, various demons and humans were imprisoned like livestock.
Just then, they felt a fluctuation behind them. The two quickly hid behind a pillar and held their breaths.
"Hey, do you think when it will be our turn for this batch of humans, livestock and demon pills?"
"Yeah, every day I look at these people full of the golden light of merit and spiritual power. I'm drooling."
"But after the master succeeds, we little demons will surely get some benefits. Hehe～"
"Yeah, yeah!"
...
Yong Shanling and Mu Yijie were shocked beyond words as they listened to the conversation between the two guards.
Humans and livestock???
These were all living people. How could they be treated like livestock?
At the same time, the two also understood that there might be a powerful figure controlling these little demons, capturing these demons and humans for cultivation.
Yong Shanling's eyes were red, and her hands were tightly clenched. Finally, she could only mouth silently, "These beasts."
"Don't be impulsive." Mu Yijie pressed Yong Shanling's shoulder. "Don't forget our goal."
In the end, Yong Shanling suppressed the impulse to kill these demons.
After the two little demons left, Yong Shanling and Mu Yijie put on two invisibility talismans and walked out. Just after walking out for a short while, they saw a five - meter - wide blood pool in the center of all the cages, filled with all kinds of severed limbs.
Yong Shanling was trembling all over, but it wasn't because of fear. She was just so angry that she couldn't control her body.
How could there be such a cruel person in the world? After using up their spiritual power and merit, they even used their bodies to make pills.
Mu Yijie squeezed Yong Shanling's hand and whispered, "You check from this side. I'll go to that side. Find Mu Qing as soon as possible and leave here."
Both of them knew that now was not the time to be emotional. The most important thing was to find Mu Qing. As for the others, if they had the chance, they would also rescue them.
"Mu Qing, Mu Qing."
