Chapter 295 Who’s knocking on the door?
Ruan Xihe didn't know how to comment on Gongzi Heng's words.
Overall, there seems to be nothing wrong with her, but why does being her Taoist partner have to be so tough? Is she the kind of person who gets physical when she doesn't agree with someone?
at the same time.
In the Grand Elders' Council of the Holy Maiden Church.
About twenty to thirty disciples of the Holy Lady Church received the order from the Grand Elder and gathered in the Grand Elder's Court.
The Great Elder had a dead look on her face as she sat in front of the door. She stood up from her chair only after all the disciples she had summoned had arrived.
The Great Elder walked through the team and stared at the front yard of the Holy Maiden Church.
She held half of an iron chain in her hand, which was faintly jumping in her hand, and the other end of the chain was pointing to the front yard of the Holy Maiden Church.
"The man has escaped to the front yard. You must find him for me tonight!"
"Yes!"
All the disciples answered in unison.
The Great Elder went out first, holding half a chain in his hand as a guide.
Twenty to thirty disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect followed behind the great elder, carefully checking all the places along the way, not missing any clues.
In the darkness of night, the team gradually approached the front yard.
......
in the house.
After Gongzi Heng finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Ruan Xihe and the knife in her hand, and spoke stutteringly.
"Boss, I shouldn't be guilty of a crime punishable by death, right? Would you like to put away the knife? It looks quite sharp..."
Gongzi Heng thought that the knife in Ruan Xihe's hand was meant to be used on him.
After all, she had said it long ago: if you confess, you will be punished severely, and if you resist, you will also be punished severely.
But Ruan Xihe just looked at him speechlessly, then she grasped the sad knife and chopped at the chain in her hand.
'Wow~'
There was a tiny crack in the iron chain that was invisible unless you looked carefully.
But along with it, the iron chain wrapped around Linghu Zhou's neck became even tighter.
Linghu Zhou groaned, his face wrinkled in his coma, his brows were tightly knitted together, and his face gradually became red with blood.
"Boss, who is he?" Gong Ziheng stole a glance at the person on the bed and felt that he was familiar. "Why do I feel that he looks familiar?"
"I remember now! He was one of the two people who sneaked into the tower with us that night!"
The memory in Gongzi Heng's mind suddenly came back temporarily.
The scene of that night came to his mind, and he quickly recognized Linghu Zhou as the person who was captured that day.
"But how did you know where he was, boss? And how did you rescue him?"
"It's useful." She spoke briefly and Gongzi Heng immediately knew that what she was talking about was related to their mission.
However, at this moment, Ruan Xihe had a look of worry on his face.
Because if this continues, Linghu Zhou will be strangled to death before the chain is cut.
"I come?"
Suddenly, a cold and childish voice came from my mind. It was Suzaku.
Ruan Xihe then remembered that Suzaku's Nanming Lihuo could burn everything, but Suzaku's strength was not at its peak now, so he didn't know whether he could succeed.
"Okay." She said.
According to their natal contract, Zhuque does not need to come out of the space and can let Ruan Xihe use Nanming Lihuo on his behalf.
Ruan Xihe raised his hand, and a milky white flame slowly condensed in his palm.
Normally she used fire spiritual power, but it was mixed with a little Nanming Lihuo. But now, what she had in her hands was real, almost pure Nanming Lihuo.
The flame was dancing in the palm of her hand. Although the fire was small, the burning power was not weak at all. Even though Gongzi Heng used all his spiritual power, he could not resist this force.
Ruan Xihe turned her wrist, and the flames crawled from her palm to her fingertips.
At the same time, she controlled the power of the flame so that it would not leak out, and then used the flame to burn the chains.
Under the burning of the Nanming Lihuo, the iron chain gradually melted and turned into an unpleasant-smelling gas that evaporated.
...
At this time, the great elder who was about to find Gongzi Heng's room suddenly discovered that the direction sense of the half iron chain in her hand was getting weaker and weaker.
"Hurry up!"
The Great Elder inexplicably had a feeling that if she had been a step later, Linghu Zhou might have really been rescued.
Originally, she was full of confidence, thinking that with the help of her iron chain magic weapon, she would be able to find Linghu Zhou, but now, she began to feel anxious for no reason.
Looking at the direction sensed by the half of the chain in his hand one second ago, the Great Elder waved his hand and pointed directly to the courtyard where Young Master Heng was.
"there!"
No one dared to disobey the order of the Great Elder. All the disciples walked towards Gongzi Heng's yard at a very fast speed without saying a word.
'bang bang bang-'
When they reached the gate of the courtyard, a disciple came out and knocked on the gate.
But after waiting for a few seconds, no one opened the door.
"Get out of the way!" The great elder pushed away the disciple standing in front of the door and kicked the gate to pieces.
"Search for me!"
She shouted, and about a dozen disciples in the team began to search the yard.
The Great Elder himself, along with a dozen other disciples, kicked open the door.
After the door was kicked open, a burning breath hit her in the face. Although the elder felt it was a bit strange, she did not think much about it. After all, what she wanted most now was to find Linghu Zhou first.
He tasted good last time and she liked it very much, so she didn't want to let him go.
But unexpectedly, when the Great Elder and his men rushed into the room, the room was empty.
At this moment, the disciple who was searching the courtyard came to report that no one was found.
"how come!"
The great elder swept the teacups and other items on the table down, and they fell to the ground with a clang.
Twenty or thirty people were crowded in one room, which made it increasingly stuffy, but no one dared to make a sound.
Suddenly, the Great Elder's eyes swept across the half-burned candle at the bedside.
She walked over and put her fingers close to the candle wick.
"Hiss——" The scorching temperature of the candle wick almost burned her fingertips. The elder felt the pain, hissed slightly, and suddenly pulled back his fingers.
The high temperature of the candle wick reminded her that the owner of the house had just left.
It is very likely that it was the moment these disciples knocked on the door that alarmed them and gave them the opportunity to escape!
The Great Elder raised the half chain in his hand, but it had no reaction at all and could no longer point in any direction.
She gritted her teeth, closed her eyes silently, and clenched her fingers until they made crackling sounds.
"Who was knocking on the door just now?"
A female disciple stood up timidly, "Reporting to the Great Elder, it is...ah!"
"boom--"
Before she could finish her words, the female disciple was grabbed by the hair and thrown to the ground, with her face rubbed into the ground.
“Knock, knock, knock. Are you knocking on your own grave? Why don’t I usually see you being so respectful of etiquette? You even know to knock on the door when entering?!”
The female disciple couldn't resist. Her nose and mouth were pressed into the ground. She couldn't breathe, and soon her body stopped moving.
