Cruise felt a headache coming on as soon as he saw her look. However, deep in his eyes, there was a hint of admiration and longing that he himself didn't even notice.
"How can we help?" Cruise gritted his teeth and asked.
Hearing that he had agreed, Yong Shanling showed a happy smile. "You're not completely heartless." Then she told him her plan.
Her plan was simple. One of them would disguise as an ordinary person and get captured by them. Then they would cooperate from inside and outside to rescue everyone.
After hearing her plan, Cruise heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn't a reckless direct rescue.
After the two discussed, they decided that Yong Shanling would be the one to get captured. Then they saw a group of people coming with some cages. Yong Shanling slipped into a cage when he wasn't paying attention and rescued the person inside.
At the same time, she used her magic to transform herself into a somewhat haggard woman who looked nine - tenths like the previous one.
After successfully sneaking in, Yong Shanling was led by the group of people into a building. Only then did she find that there were already quite a few cages inside, nearly a thousand. She kept her hair loose and curled up in the corner, looking like a woman scared out of her wits.
"Hehe, it's so easy to catch these people and beasts these days. Just by catching a few ordinary people and spiritual beasts, we've earned so many spirit stones. That Yun Shan really did us a big favor," said a man with a high nose bridge, blue eyes, and a somewhat sinister look to another person.
The hunchbacked and somewhat wretched man smiled. "Yes, if it weren't for him, we wouldn't have known there was such a convenient way to improve our cultivation!
Most importantly, it's also made us a fortune. In the past, those high - level psychics were more strict. We simply had no way to deal with ordinary people. But now, with the gimmick of ascension hanging in front of them, they turn a blind eye. Maybe they're also using this method."
Sitting in the corner, Yong Shanling listened to their words, clenching her fists so tightly that she didn't even notice when blood started to flow.
All this was caused by her master. If it weren't for her master's eagerness to ascend, how could the cultivation world have become like this? He was fine, ascending directly, but he left this mess in the world, driving so many cultivators and psychics crazy.
As Yun Shan's disciple, she had the responsibility and obligation to clean up this mess, even if it was just a meager effort.
She observed the surrounding structure and the distribution of personnel, and directly used the sound - transmission method to tell Cruise the situation here.
After the two were ready, they cooperated from inside and outside and rushed out. In a few breaths, she rushed to the side of the guards and killed them with a single swipe of her hand.
The psychic next to them saw his companions die and quickly took out his weapon, suddenly attacking her.
Yong Shanling nimbly dodged his attack and directly took out a flying dart and threw it. Soon, the man was entangled.
"Damn it! Let me go! Our boss won't let you off," the trapped man shouted. Then Yong Shanling pulled hard, and his voice suddenly stopped.
Looking at the pieces of flesh on the ground, a look of disgust flashed in Yong Shanling's eyes. If it weren't for the fact that other weapons were not suitable to take out, she wouldn't have used this weapon to attack people. It was too bloody.
The originally numb people around were all excited when they saw Yong Shanling's actions.
"Save me, please save me."
"My dad is the mayor. Hurry up. Save me first."
"My family has a lot of money. If you save me, I'll repay you well. Please save me quickly."
...
The people in the cages were constantly pleading for help. Yong Shanling directly took out a wooden sword and split open all the cages. At this time, Cruise also attacked from the outside. The two successfully met. He glanced at the rescued people and frowned.
"So many people. How can we hide them? It's too obvious," he said. Suddenly having so many ordinary people come out of this building, anyone would know what had happened.
Yong Shanling thought for a while and took out a bottle of pills. "This is a fake - death pill. After taking it, you'll be almost like a dead person, but it only lasts for 12 hours. After 12 hours, you'll return to normal. After you take this pill, I can put you in my storage bag and take you out. Of course, if you're afraid, you don't have to take it. But then you'll have to figure out a way to get out of this psychic town on your own."
"How do we know if this pill is real or fake? What if we take it and never wake up again?" a man who looked like a successful person stood up and said. His eyes were constantly shifting.
"The choice is yours. Only if you take it can I put you in the storage bag and take you out. If you don't take it, then you'll have to find your own way," Yong Shanling emphasized again. After saying that, she put the pills on the table and let them choose for themselves.
In the end, everyone took the pills. Soon, they all fell down one by one.
Yong Shanling directly reached out and put them into the storage bag.
Cruise looked at her with surprise in his eyes. "This seems pretty good. After we take them out, sell me some. Maybe I'll find them useful too."
Yong Shanling nodded. Then the two took the clothes of those people and put them on, successfully blending in and getting out. Then they pretended to be ordinary people strolling around and walked around for a while before leaving the town.
After leaving the town, the two used the energy in their bodies and quickly flew towards the nearby city.
When they reached a large amusement park, the two waited until it was almost 12 hours before releasing them.
"Um... where am I?" As the first person made a sound, gradually, everyone woke up. Seeing the surrounding crowd again, everyone cried.
They had finally made it out alive.
Yong Shanling walked forward with a smile. Taking advantage of their inattention, she patted each of them with a talisman. Soon, those people stood still for a while and then walked away calmly one by one.
They had forgotten everything they had experienced. They would only remember that they had accidentally gotten lost while traveling and had just returned to the city.
"Yong Shanling, you're a good person," Cruise said seriously, looking at Yong Shanling. In this world where everyone pursued power, how many people could resist the temptation?
"Stop, stop. Don't give me the good - person label. I just hope that the next time you encounter such a thing, you can help them, even if it's just a trivial matter."
