At this moment, Mu Yijie was like a demon emerging from hell. His gentle inquiries were like suffocating interrogations. If one gave a wrong answer, it felt as if they would fall into hell at any moment.
The black - robed man seemed to recall something and shook his head frantically. "No, no, no! You can't touch her. Fine, I'll tell you the method to break the spell and the person behind it. Just don't touch her..."
His pupils were already filled with bloodshot. Looking at Yong Shanling lying on the sofa, he finally sighed and released the soul - possession spell.
Mu Yijie watched the girl in his arms slowly recover and immediately hugged her tightly. Yong Shanling, who had just woken up, was greatly startled. But recalling what had just happened, she gently patted his back to comfort him.
It seemed as if he was the one who had just been injured. After a while, under the disgusted looks of the group, Yong Shanling blushed and pushed him away. Then she looked at the black - robed man on the floor.
"Did someone teach you your spells?"
The black - robed man originally didn't want to answer the girl, but under the menacing gaze of the man beside her, he slowly opened his mouth.
"It's Old Chen. Including me, he has a total of ten disciples. You won't be able to defeat him."
She wasn't irritated by his provocation and continued to ask her own questions.
"Did this Old Chen make all your tokens? And who is the person behind you?"
"Well, there are many people behind us. Old Chen is just one of them. We receive tasks randomly and don't know who exactly issued them."
This answer made the girl fall into deep thought.
"Did you come after us because we messed up your business last time?" Cruz asked angrily.
The black - robed man didn't answer him. Suddenly, he looked outside and let out a strange laugh. "Save yourselves."
As soon as he finished speaking, the black - robed man spat out a mouthful of black blood and fell to the ground. There were several dead insects in the black blood.
"They even used the Gu - worm technique. Uncle and the others are so scary."
She tightened her grip on Mu Yijie's hand. She was a bit scared looking at the man's tragic death.
The man frowned and called the servants to clean the house. The maids, however, were looking at the living room in panic, and their hands were shaking as they wiped the blood - stained floor.
She lay on his ear and whispered softly, "Don't worry. I'll help them erase their memories after this is over."
Mu Yijie looked at the smiling girl by his ear. His heart felt warm. Suddenly, the house shook. The two maids were so scared that they were about to scream, but Yong Shanling knocked them out.
Cruz looked at the constantly vibrating barrier and smiled bitterly. "They found us so quickly. But the number of them is really terrifying."
"Don't you think it's strange? Is it really necessary for so many people to come for revenge just because of one business deal? What are they up to?"
As they were thinking, all their gazes fell on Mu Yijie. Cruz seemed to understand immediately.
"They must have found out that Mu Yijie has the Jinge constitution. After all, his face was exposed during the fight last time. They must have inquired about it. Otherwise, there's no way so many people would come."
Mu Yijie, seeing everyone's looks, helplessly took out his phone. Yong Shanling was a bit confused.
"What's wrong, Uncle?"
"I'm calling for reinforcements."
Not long after, the Ye brothers teleported to the villa. Their faces were full of nervousness, but the five people in front of them were watching TV and drinking tea.
Ye Sen looked at the relaxed group in front of him with a dark face and pretended to leave.
But his younger brother joined their camp eagerly, so he had no choice but to stay reluctantly.
"Tell me, what's going on with those more than two hundred people? I almost got struck by lightning when I came in just now."
Mu Yijie didn't beat around the bush and told them what had happened in Country M.
"Now they're outside. Although the barrier can hold out for a while, there are so many of them. It's only a matter of time..."
Ye Sen couldn't help but frown. "There are only five of us who can fight here. Five against two hundred? What are you thinking? I have something to do at home. I'm leaving first."
Before he could get up, Ye Lin looked at him aggrievedly. "Brother, we're friends. They saved me last time. I want to stay and help them."
"How are you going to help? Cheer from the side?"
"Um, brother, you're so cruel. You're hurting my feelings."
Hearing Ye Sen's merciless exposure, he felt a bit sad.
"Ye Sen, how can your teleportation cover such a long distance?" Yong Shanling asked her question.
"Because I specialized in it before, but I can only use it twice a day, and each time I can only teleport ten people."
She was shocked. Generally, it was already very impressive to teleport five people. He could teleport ten. This made her a bit in awe of Ye Sen.
But then she thought that if they all left, what would happen to the people in the villa? After thinking about it, she gave up the idea of leaving.
Mu Yijie seemed to see what she was thinking and remembered something. "We can use the fake - death pills."
This immediately woke Yong Shanling up. The worried look on her face was replaced by a smile again. "Right! Why didn't I think of that? Uncle, you're so great!"
Excited, she didn't care that there were others around and kissed Mu Yijie on the face. When she came to her senses, everyone was looking at her comically. She shyly got into his arms.
Although Cruz didn't want to interrupt their show of affection, seeing the barrier that was about to be broken, he still took the risk to speak up.
"Um, there's not much time left. We need to act quickly."
Yong Shanling remembered that this wasn't the time for affection. She immediately pushed Mu Yijie away and went to feed the pills. He looked at the determined woman in his arms and didn't know whether to cry or laugh.
After everyone got into the storage bag, Ye Sen activated the teleportation. Just as the barrier was broken, looking at the large number of people coming in, she was a bit anxious.
"Is it not ready yet? The barrier has failed."
As soon as she finished speaking, the group appeared in another villa in a flash of white light. Compared with Mu Yijie's Western - style villa, the Ye family's was an antique Chinese - style mansion.
However, no one stopped to admire the scenery because they didn't know when those people would suddenly appear. The current plan was how to shake them off.
Yong Shanling thought for a while and whispered, "What about using the fake - death method?"
"Only death can make them give up looking for us... And we also need to have so many people."
"The Puppet Technique! I saw it before. It can be controlled with spells, but it's quite difficult..."
"Ouch! It hurts!"
Before he could finish speaking, Ye Lin's head was hit hard by Ye Sen.
"How can you casually mention the Backlash Technique!"
"The Puppet Technique is a dark art that exhausts one's own bloodline. If one isn't careful, they'll go mad and suffer a backlash."
"I know it, but only a little." Yong Shanling blinked her eyes and looked at the serious Ye Sen.
Ye Sen was stunned when he heard her words. Then he looked at the girl in front of him. Suddenly, he felt that he couldn't see through her. With her small stature, it seemed that there were some secrets behind her...
Ye Sen frowned. "An army of a hundred puppets is enough. Can you do it?"
Yong Shanling licked her dry lips and smiled. "One week is enough."
