Chapter 241 Encirclement and Suppression
Dark clouds obscured the moon's shadow, and a sudden clap of thunder illuminated half the sky.
The deafening explosion seemed to shake the heavens and earth, and in an instant, a torrential downpour began, soaking the ground completely.
Under the torrential rain, countless dark figures trudged through the muddy ground and quietly appeared around a mansion in Jinlin City.
The figures of the men in black, along with the sound of their footsteps, were concealed by the dense rain. Only a sudden clap of thunder illuminated their expressionless faces.
Tao Xian opened her eyes in bed. A flash of lightning illuminated a figure that had just passed by outside the window.
She frowned, rolled out of bed, and quietly opened the door to chase after him.
The raindrops hanging from the eaves were blown by the wind into the corridor and coldly hit Tao Xian's face.
Turning around, she saw a familiar figure under the eaves.
"Uya?" Tao Xian breathed a sigh of relief, called out in confusion, and slowly walked over.
In front of her, Uya was squatting in the corner with her back to her, her head buried deep in her mouth, making a "crunching" chewing sound.
"what are you doing here?"
Uya paused, then slowly turned around, revealing a face with bulging cheeks.
Under Tao Xian's gaze, she swallowed the chicken leg in her mouth in one gulp, wiped her mouth, and then mumbled, "Xiao Bai and I were hungry, so we came out to get some late-night snacks."
After saying that, Wuya let out a satisfied burp, looked at Taoxian with her round eyes, and thoughtfully held up another chicken leg, asking, "Sister Taoxian, would you like some too?"
Tao Xian shook her head with amusement and said, "I'm not hungry."
"Okay." Uya could only reluctantly stuff the chicken leg into her mouth.
She sat on the veranda, plunging her bare feet into the rain. Rainwater trickled down her calves, forming puddles on the bluestone bricks, rippling in the wind.
The rain grew heavier and the wind blew stronger, with countless water droplets forming lines that wove an impenetrable net between heaven and earth.
"I'm stuffed."
After finishing her chicken leg, Uya clapped her hands, stood up, and gave a smile to the vast rain curtain in front of her.
"Now, it's Little White's turn to eat."
As the voice rang out, a silver light suddenly pierced the rain and flashed into the eyes of the two.
Tonight is destined to be a sleepless night.
The rain stopped, the wind died down.
The dark clouds dispersed, and the bright sunshine once again bathed the earth.
The air was exceptionally fresh after the rain. The streets, still damp from a night of torrential rain and wind, were bustling with people coming and going, and the sounds of vendors hawking their wares filled the air, making it as lively as ever.
It was as if nothing had happened last night.
Even the few dark red bloodstains that remained on a street corner were gradually covered by the rising dust.
At that moment, a group of men in black were carrying several corpses wrapped in reed mats to a mass grave on the outskirts of the city.
The desolate burial ground was littered with mounds of graves, with severed limbs and bones protruding from the ground, emitting a foul stench.
Two still intact corpses, clearly recently deceased, lay across the edge.
Without a word, the man in black threw the still-bloodied corpse onto a nearby deserted grave, and immediately several wild dogs came running after smelling the scent.
"So... everything's been resolved?"
Mu Ling stood in the shadows, covering her nose with a handkerchief. She glanced at the corpse on the ground from afar, then turned her head away in disgust.
As if afraid that dirt and stench would stain his clothes, he stood quite far away from the other four people.
"No, these are our people."
Zhou Chen replied, "That girl from the southern border was really too troublesome. Under her cover, that group of people escaped."
"Huh? They all escaped?" Mu Ling lowered her hand in surprise and looked over. "You didn't manage to capture a single one?"
Zhou Chen nodded helplessly.
They thought they had victory in the bag and would be able to wipe out this group of people, but they never expected that they would be able to escape on their own turf.
Mu Ling curled her lip and said sarcastically, "Song Yunzheng and Wu Li are both so useless."
"Even if the young master didn't make a move, with them following him, how come they couldn't even capture a single person?"
Zhou Chen frowned, and for some reason, he suddenly felt that something was off about Mu Ling's words.
However, he couldn't recall it for the moment, so he had to suppress his doubts and continue to answer: "I must say, she is indeed the Holy Maiden of Southern Xinjiang. Even without using the Holy Gu, her Gu is much more powerful than Wu Li's."
“However,” he changed his tone the next moment, revealing a confident smile, “Lord Fu has already ordered the entire city to be under martial law and the city gates sealed off, forbidding anyone from entering or leaving, not even a fly can get out.”
“Wu Li also used the Sacred Gu to search this time. We just need to wait and see. I believe we will be able to find those people who are already seriously injured very soon.”
Zhou Chen spoke with absolute certainty and full of confidence.
Mu Ling listened and nodded repeatedly.
But then he paused, as if remembering something, and asked, "By the way, what about that guy surnamed Xie? He didn't cause any trouble this time, did he?"
"Speaking of this..."
Zhou Chen's smile immediately faded, replaced by an indescribable expression.
"According to the scouts at the scene, he ran away without looking back as soon as he saw a large crowd."
"Ran away?" Mu Ling's eyes widened in disbelief. "Just like that... ran away?"
Zhou Chen nodded with a complicated expression, "He runs very fast, and no matter how many people tried to catch him, they couldn't."
Upon hearing this, Mu Ling immediately rolled her eyes, vividly expressing her disdain for this person.
"He really is afraid of death. It seems he didn't have much affection for that prince."
Zhou Chen sighed noncommittally and said, "Let's go, it's time to go back."
After a busy night, the five returned to the simple residence of Prefect Fu.
The servants in the mansion came and went, each doing their own job. Even if a few guests suddenly appeared in the mansion, they seemed not to see them at all, and none of them looked at them directly.
The Five Eccentrics of Youzhou showed no sign of being slighted, their expressions remaining unchanged, as if they were already used to it.
Fukangnian still did not appear in his room today.
However, the people who came to find him showed no intention of leaving his dormitory.
"It seems that Lord Fu is already waiting for us."
Long Weng glanced at the empty room, leaned on his cane, and looked at Mu Ling. "Mu Ling, you're the closest. Go and open the entrance."
Xie Yan: "..."
Entrance? What entrance?
