Did you escape?
Chen Mo looked at the empty space in front of him, then put down the stone in his hand and glanced to another place. He saw that after a battle, Ning Xin and Li Yueyue had already suppressed the thin man.
The three of them were fighting fiercely, but their minds were constantly concerned about the battlefield where Chen Mo was. Ning Xin and Li Yueyue were worried about his safety, while the thin man was waiting for Xiao Tianyi's support.
However, as Chen Mo won the battle, the thin man's face changed dramatically. He was already struggling with a two-on-one fight; adding an opponent who could defeat Xiao Tianyi was out of the question.
In an instant of loss of focus, he became vulnerable, and Ning Xin, who had fought many battles, took the opportunity to strike with a sword, splitting his hand in a panic.
Li Yueyue took the opportunity to strike with several cuts, ultimately capturing the thin man.
"It's over."
Li Yueyue let out a heavy breath, her long sword was horizontally inserted into the ground. Ning Xin, panting heavily, steadied her body. After experiencing so many battles, her energy was greatly consumed. If she continued to fight, she might not be able to bear it.
Chen Mo quickly approached, let the blood-red mutant deal with the body, and then chatted with the two of them for a while.
As they spoke, the mist around them became thinner, and they could faintly see red light flickering in a certain direction, but it disappeared the next moment.
"What is that, how did it disappear so suddenly?"
Li Yueyue pointed to the place where the red light disappeared, and asked curiously.
"The Red Fox said it just now that they were going to sacrifice tens of thousands of people in this city, so the city must be a massive altar, and the red light was part of it. But since the person who activated the altar has been killed by me, the red light naturally disappeared. And as for this mist around here, it's getting thinner, which I assume is also due to that person's work... Since the guy escaped from the city, he must have encountered Pei Jiangnan. I don't know what's going on inside there. Let's go inside and take a look quickly."
Chen Mo retrieved the blood-red mutant and turned to the two women beside him and said.
"But can we just leave Xin sister like this?"
Li Yueyue looked at Ning Xin with some concern. After experiencing two battles, she had many injuries. If they were to force their way through, her injuries might worsen.
"I'm fine..."
Ning Xin waved her hand and struggled to say.
"No need to struggle, we can carry you on our backs."
"That's right, Xin sister has said that under certain circumstances, it is acceptable to rely on companions. We are your solid support."
Li Yueyue sheathed her sword and said solemnly, "No matter what happens, I will not let you down." She then looked at Chen Mo, who was also looking at her.
In the mutual gaze, Li Yueyue hesitated slightly, lifted her finger to point at herself, "Oh? Are you asking me to carry you?"
"Or should I carry you? Why, do you think I am disliking your Xin sister?"
"No no no, not at all, not at all"
Li Yueyue hurriedly waved her hands, muttering, "But it was you who said you would carry me, why are you making me do it?"
Although she said that, Li Yueyue still very obediently carried the injured Ning Xin.
Chen Mo led the way in the direction of Lin City. Due to the dissipation of mist and increased visibility, as well as a sense of direction, the three quickly arrived at Lin City.
"The mist has cleared, and the red light has disappeared. Mr. Pei, I assume, it must have been because the guy who escaped earlier was killed."
Gao Tianluo looked around and smiled happily.
Pei Jiangnan's serious expression slightly eased up a bit, partly because of the black-robed man's words, and partly because he was worrying and had fallen into a dilemma.
The question of whether to protect three thousand or tens of thousands of people is troubling him, making it difficult for him to make an accurate judgment in the short term.
However, in the face of this situation, the black-robed man lying on the ground frowned and said, "Why is it like this? Why is it like this? Our people are spread throughout Lin City. How could you have killed them?"
"Hmph, are you too confident? If you can have people outside the city, can't we? Chen Sanzang and the others haven't even entered the city yet. Maybe, it was them who killed your people."
Gao Tianluo excitedly said.
Pei Jiangnan nodded slightly, it seems that Gao Tianluo's explanation is the most credible. Without Chen Mo's intervention, it would not be so easy to resolve the danger of Lin City.
"The next step is, everything is over."
Pei Jiangnan deeply sighed and turned to Gao Tianluo, "Go inform the people to evacuate Lin City as quickly as possible..."
"Do you dare?"
The black-robed man shouted, "As long as you dare to let the people of Lin City go out, I will immediately release the three thousand blood worms from the ground. By then, even if not tens of thousands die, at least three thousand will."
Pei Jiangnan's hands were clenched into fists, his teeth gritted tightly, and his eyes were filled with endless anger as he stared at the black-robed man on the ground like an animal waiting to be slaughtered. At this moment, he had no way at all.
"What do you want until you're satisfied? I can leave you a way out. As long as you spare the people in this city, I won't kill you."
"Hmph, since I entered the city, I never thought of living. If I can't complete the master's task, even if I can return alive, I wouldn't dare to face him..."
"Then what exactly do you want?"
Pei Jiangnan roared angrily.
"Just wait, stay here quietly, do nothing."
The black-robed man instructed one by one.
Although the person who activated the altar was dead, he believed that his master would send people to continue. As long as they could delay time, their plan would not fail.
Pei Jiangnan also guessed the other party's thoughts and looked back at the citizens in the city, his expression changing repeatedly. He was torn and tormented in his heart, not wanting to abandon either the three thousand or the tens of thousands.
However, if they don't make a decision in a timely manner, when the reinforcements from the black-robed man arrive, the lives of the citizens of Lin City will be in danger.
It seems that only part of the people's lives can be sacrificed.
Pei Jiangnan tightly clenched his fists, struggling to speak, "Gao Tianluo, listen to my orders..."
"Pei brother"
A call made the suffering Pei Jiangnan stop in his tracks. He looked up at the familiar figure in the distance, and only then did he relax.
For some reason, when Chen Mo appeared, he inexplicably felt a sense of security.
"Chen brother"
Pei Jiangnan quickly approached, greeted Chen Mo, and immediately informed him of the current situation.
"Haha, Brother Pei, you need not worry. Those guys have been driven away by us. I assume they won't dare to sacrifice the citizens of the city again. As long as we can find and destroy the altar, if they want to act again, it will cost them a lot of time. In the short term, they won't dare to do so."
"But what about the three thousand citizens in this city..."
"You mean that he controls the three thousand blood worms in the ground and can let them out at any time, and even if we kill him, it won't help, right?"
"Yes."
Pei Jiangnan nodded seriously, if not, he wouldn't be in such a difficult situation.
As soon as his voice fell, he saw Chen Mo nod slightly and said 'I know' before walking to the black-robed man lying on the ground. Then he grasped his fingers downward, and it turned out that he had ripped out the other party's Dan Tian (or Dantian, a concept in Chinese martial arts referring to the inner core or qi sea) by force...
