Gan Niannian looked at her strangely: "Why should I be afraid? You wouldn't dare to do anything to me anyway, and the junior will definitely come to save me."
"Junior? You mean Lin Yi?"
Liu Mengyan chuckled and covered her mouth, saying, "Sometimes I really can't understand the thinking of you mortals. You're not so naive as to think that Lin Yi can solve everything, are you?"
Gan Niannian nodded sincerely: "Of course."
"There really are naive fools like you in the world."
Liu Mengyan chuckled, laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight, then her voice turned cold: "What a pity, such a naive fellow like you is destined not to live long."
As he spoke, a flash of murderous intent crossed his mind.
At the same time, there was also a hint of jealousy.
With her limited perspective, although she looked down on Lin Yi, she couldn't help but feel a burning jealousy when she saw Gan Niannian, a woman who was pampered to the core.
Why is it that a stupid and ignorant woman like you can be so lucky, while I, Liu Mengyan, have to fawn over you to get that little bit of charity-like protection?
Why?
Looking at Gan Niannian's face, Liu Mengyan couldn't help but want to tear it apart.
However, with so many people around, doing so would inevitably damage her image as a pure and holy maiden in the Shadow Gate, so she could only endure it for the time being.
Liu Mengyan sneered inwardly.
Once we get to the Shadow Gate, I'll show you what I'm made of!
At this moment, Gan Niannian, who was tied to the dragon duck, suddenly had a bright idea in her eyes.
She received a telepathic message from Lin Yi.
At that moment, Lin Yi was quietly following behind the group, less than fifty meters away, visible to the naked eye, but Liu Mengyan and the others were completely unaware.
In fact, if Lin Yi hadn't secretly intervened, the group of security experts that Zhang Baiyu had arranged for Gan Niannian would have already taken action, and wouldn't have had to wait until now.
Lin Yi's gaze swept over Liu Mengyan and the others one by one.
To prevent any accidents, they also planted marks on them.
The intention was obvious: to have these people lead the way to find the Shadow Gate.
Of the four hidden forces in Tianjun, the Demon Extermination Army has already been subdued. Although the Authority Society has not yet been subdued, given the pretext of the Killing Track, infiltration and subjugation will not be difficult.
What remains are the Shadow Gate and the ancient clan's tomb.
There are currently no clues about the latter, but unexpectedly, this shadow gate has jumped out on its own.
This is a good opportunity to find out.
However, there was one thing that surprised Lin Yi quite a bit.
These people openly kidnapped the dragon duck, but the dragon beast did not directly retaliate; instead, it maintained unusual restraint.
Lin Yi looked up at the sky.
He could clearly sense that the dragon beast was hiding in the clouds, quietly following him.
The key point is that he exudes a clear sense of apprehension.
This is a being at the level of a god of magic.
The only thing that could threaten a God of Magic is another God of Magic.
Could it be that such an existence is hidden behind the Shadow Gate?
If that's the case, things could get a bit tricky.
Lin Yi felt a chill run down his spine, but he did not give up his plan to infiltrate the Shadow Gate.
You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against thieves for a thousand days.
If the Shadow Gate is truly that terrifying, then we must take the initiative to strike; otherwise, if they launch another attack, the situation will only become more uncontrollable.
Moreover, this time they have the powerful ally, the dragon beast.
Once this opportunity is missed, it may not be available again.
As Lin Yi was pondering, Liu Mengyan and the others suddenly disappeared.
Lin Yi's heart skipped a beat.
If we hadn't marked them beforehand, we probably would have been completely stumped.
At the place where everyone disappeared, no entrance to the secret realm was found, nor were there any illusionary formations or arrays.
But through these marks, he could clearly sense that the other party remained in the same spot and had not left.
After examining it carefully for a moment, Lin Yi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly understood.
"I see!"
The next second, he turned to his shadow, leaped lightly, and disappeared into the shadow.
When I opened my eyes again, the scene before me was exactly the same as before, as if what had just happened was a hallucination.
But through the perception of the world's will, Lin Yi could see it clearly.
This is no longer the world we just knew; it is a world entirely composed of shadows.
Every place in this world is exactly the same as Tianjun, except that it lacks the people of Tianjun.
"No wonder we couldn't find it!"
If Lin Yi hadn't come here in person, he wouldn't have believed that the shadow beneath his feet could actually form a world!
The name "Shadow Gate" is indeed quite fitting.
With the world's will unfolding, Lin Yi quickly located Gan Niannian and Long Ya's positions.
At this moment, in a very secluded underground chamber, a man and a duck are locked in a cage, their shadows pinned to the ground by short knives, unable to move.
Liu Mengyan sat opposite, touching up her makeup in front of the mirror while glancing sideways at Gan Niannian and Long Ya.
Do you know why I brought you here?
Gan Niannian blinked: "You're trying to deal with the junior? You want to use me as a hostage?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Mengyan burst into laughter: "It's true what they say, you can't talk about ice with a summer insect. You really think everyone would want to snatch a beggar's broken bowl?"
"Your junior classmate may seem high and mighty to others, but in our Shadow Gate, he's not exactly insignificant, but he's practically nothing."
"If I wanted to deal with him, I could just lead my men and crush him. Why all this fuss?"
"This is unnecessary."
Gan Niannian stared at her and said very seriously, "I don't know who you are, but you're quite into your role."
Liu Mengyan chuckled and said, "You think I'm lying to you? Talking big?"
Gan Niannian said seriously, "If you were really that strong, you wouldn't have been hiding in the shadows all this time. Since you need to hide, it means you must have something you're afraid of."
"..."
Liu Mengyan choked for a moment, then laughed angrily, "You're not very smart, but you're good at coming up with all sorts of twisted logic. I already said that catching you was just a side thing; my real target is Long Ya."
As he spoke, he looked intently at the dragon duck.
Gan Niannian immediately tensed up: "Do you want to eat it?"
Upon hearing this, the dragon duck immediately bristled.
Liu Mengyan was speechless for a moment: "Why would I eat it?"
"It's delicious!"
Gan Niannian tilted her head and thought for a moment before finally confirming, "It should taste pretty good."
The dragon duck's face immediately turned even more terrified.
Gan Niannian's words were entirely from the perspective of a chef.
Based on previous experience, the higher the quality of the dragon duck, the more delicious it is.
As for the dragon duck, which is of such high quality, if it were roasted, the taste would be unimaginably good.
For a fleeting moment, even it was moved.
Liu Mengyan looked at the man and the duck as if they were idiots: "You can't even give up the most basic desire for food. That's all you'll amount to in this life."
I felt much more at ease.
