Book 6: Chapter 7: Breaking in

The tragic screams still passed through Xiao Xias palms and into her ears. However, the sound didnt last long. After things grew quiet, Xiao Xia endured her trepidations and snuck a glance into the plaza.

The two new waterspouts had also turned red. There were now two curled-up burnt corpses in the plaza.

With a thump, Liu Hong fainted! If it werent for Zuo De, who was always by her side, and his quick reactions, her pretty face would have planted onto the furnace-like plaza ground and she would have been disfigured!

As for Xiao Xia, she vomited!

This kind of murder method was too excessive!

Did each new fountain mean someone else was going to die? The number of fountains meant the number of deaths, and when they turned red, it meant the intended targets had died?!Updated from novelb(i)n.c(o)m

Wang Wen Ge was dead. In the end, he hadnt been able to reveal his secrets. However, since he said no one can clean the mud under their feet, it meant there must be someone else within the group who knew about it. At least, Mao Fu and Zhao Jia Yuan were related. Xiao Xia remembered clearly how they utterly refused to pass through this town.

But since they were so afraid of this place, why would they choose to relocate the town here?

Xiao Xia walked up to Mao Fu who was in a daze. Zhao Jia Yuan was standing next to him as expected.

Tell me, what happened here in the past! Xiao Xia asked straightforwardly.

Mao Fu and Zhao Jia Yuan visibly trembled. Zhao Jia Yuan was still ok, but Mao Fus eyes were frozen upon the corpses in the plaza and his body seemed unable to move.

If you speak, perhaps your confession will result in forgiveness. Or we might be able to come up with something. Even if were doomed to fail, we should at least die enlightened! Xiao Xia continued speaking.

Retribution has come! While Zhao Jia Yuan was stammering, Mao Fu suddenly spoke up. Retribution has come! No one can escape! Master Long deceived us. This matter cannot be resolved!

That wont happen! Zhao Jia Yuan shook Mao Fu heavily. Master Long has never been wrong. Were just one month away from overcoming this fate. Once we get through it everything will be fine!

No escape! No escape! Mao Fu didnt seem to have heard Zhao Jia Yuan. He muttered to himself and then suddenly burst into laughter. He still muttered the same words as he ran off as if insane!

Mayor Mao! Zhao Jia Yuan shouted loudly. He chased after him almost instinctively. Under the sound of Mao Fus crazy laughter, the two disappeared into the fog.

Who else is related to this matter of retribution?! Xiao Xia swept her gaze over everyones faces. Apart from Zuo Des calm expression, everyone else avoided her eyes.

So it turns out these people all had a guilty conscience. They might have done something outrageous together which was why they were all gathered here. She, Zuo De and maybe Liu Hong were just born unlucky. They were swept up as extras in this execution!

This caused an obscure fire to ignite in Xiao Xias heart. She was about to speak when she realized the fog had returned to the edges of the plaza. This meant that their spectators seats had disappeared. In front of them was the burning ground. Staying in place or walking elsewhere would mean entering the thick fog!

Since she was standing by herself, she still had no companions and had to face the danger by herself.

Im innocent. Youre being unfair! She shouted and then walked into the fog.

Since she couldnt get out and the next part of the performance was about to start, she could only keep watching and participating! At the same time, Ruan Zhan racking his brains, trying to figure out what to do!

Impossible! Under normal circumstances, the gate on this side of the small mountain should be the south gate. Although it could only be seen from the top of the mountain from a distance, there was no way it could be the north gate!

What was going on? Did someone twist the space here?! Could it have been Si Ma Nan?

He walked along the city gate. Whenever he got close, he felt an invisible barrier blocking his way. He felt that there was a deep resentment in this city. However, this strong resentment seemed to be from the distant past yet also contained a fresh drive. It was extremely contradictory. Furthermore, a barrier that could block him wasnt something anyone could cast.

He tried several times more but still failed to enter! He furrowed his brows in thought and drew in the air. He stepped out and arrived in Xiao Xias hotel room back at the old town.

He thoroughly investigated the place and found nothing unusual. There wasnt even any unusual aura. Therefore, he sat down and called Wan Li.

Something happened again. Its Sima Nan.

Are you sure? Wan Lis voice was a little worried but still calm.

I dont have any proof, I dont even know where hes hiding. However, I am extremely sure.

Did he capture Xiao Xia again?

More than that. When Ruan Zhan heard him say Xiao Xias name, his heart tightened. There was a total of twelve people. Apart from three drivers, they are all trapped inside an empty city.

Empty city? Whats the backstory this time?

I dont know either. I only felt that the resentment lingering there isnt small. However, it seems to have been suppressed for a very long time before finally bursting out. Therefore, its overflowing, but remains trapped inside the empty city. It can only vent itself inside.

Youre saying its extremely dangerous inside, and Xiao Xia is currently there? Wan Li was also starting to get anxious, but then felt a little surprised. You didnt go find her?

Si Ma Nan set up a strange barrier outside. Im guessing hes leveled up his space-warping technique. Not only can he teleport, he can also allow it to flow. Then, using some spell, he set up the gate to block me. Where I go, the space will follow.

You cant get in?

I will!

What are you going to do?

Force my way in!

Hey, hey, dont mess around. Wan Li was shocked. I knew you wouldnt be able to remain calm when Xiao Xias in trouble.

You dont understand. That city shows signs of extreme aggression, like a killing formation. Therefore, even if Ah Bai is with Xiao Xia, I cannot delay. Otherwise, something might really happen. There is no time to slowly break the formation. Ill have to force my way in.

Wan Li remained silent for several seconds.

Well need your help.

Of course, what do you need me to do?!
