Devil Sovereign: Consort Can’t Escape - C147

At this time, the shop assistant, who was late with a bucket of water, saw the two of them and curled his lips in dissatisfaction. “Why did you come here so quickly and cause trouble? You even vomited all over the floor. Isn’t this increasing my workload?”

Zhuo Guang finally stopped with great difficulty, his lips trembling: “You …” You know him… What happened to them? ”

The shop assistant picked at his ear. “What else could have happened? They just died.”

“Die …” “Dead?” Zhuo Guang’s expression was lifeless as he muttered to himself: “How did this happen?”

Mu Xiaoling looked at the waiter. “You know about it?”

“I know, but I can’t say it. I don’t want to die yet.” The shop assistant paused for a moment before he looked emotionlessly at Mu Xiaoling. “No one can leave this town until they die. I wonder who will be the ones who chose them last night.”

“What? There’s more tonight?!” Zhuo Guang collapsed on the ground, but couldn’t help but burst into tears.

The clerk was too lazy to pay any more attention to them and went into the house to clean up.

Mu Xiaoling carried Zhuo Guang’s collar as they flew to the inn’s main hall.

Feng Jiuyang’s speed was very fast, so he did not speak directly. Instead, he took off the jade guqin on his back and played a song that would make people quiet.

Every note from the zither brought with it a wave of magic that would cause people to calm down, allowing them to gradually recover from their despair and fear and enjoy this moment of peace and quiet.

After the song ended, Feng Jiuyang was the first to enter the hall. The others also calmed down and followed him in.

Tang Ling and Qi Tai’s movements were also extremely fast. After those people ran over from behind, they quickly cut them off and obediently sent them into the inn. Those who didn’t listen to them would be knocked unconscious and sent into the inn.

Not long later, the entire hall was filled with people.

Zhuo Guang trembled as he looked at Mu Xiaoling. “Is there something wrong here?”

“It’s just someone putting on a show.” Mu Xiaoling took a sip from her teacup. “Since you can’t leave, we should rest here. Boss Zhuo should arrange some patrolling people to not let them travel alone. We should wait and see.”

Feng Jiuyang said, “I think that there should be some sort of array formation laid down here that prevents people from leaving. It’s just that I don’t understand how to break this array.”

On the other hand, there was someone on Mu Xiaoling’s side who knew how to break the formation. However …

She glanced at Xiao Yu, who was still sleeping in the beast driving space, and couldn’t help but sigh.

Gu Xiu, who was still swinging on the swing, suddenly moved the furry ears on the top of his head. A hint of doubt appeared in his clear, glass-like eyes. “Master, why are you sighing like this? Did something happen?”

The caravan travelling was boring, so he didn’t pay much attention to what was going on outside but didn’t know what was going on outside.

“Something did happen.” Mu Xiaoling recounted the events from last night to the present, as well as Feng Jiuyang’s speculations.

“It does seem like a result of a formation, but it doesn’t seem like it was done by a martial cultivator. After all, even the physical body of an ordinary person is of no use to the devil race, unless the quantity is huge, only then will it be affected. I feel that it was done by a magical beast, but the weak magical beasts are not able to set up a formation, and the powerful magical beasts are not interested in the body of an ordinary person.”

Mu Xiaoling was also puzzled. “Let’s keep watching.”

Gu Xiu said, “Master, why don’t you let me out? It might be of some use.”

“This is not the time.” Mu Xiaoling continued to remain silent when someone in the outside world touched her arm.

Mu Xiaoling snapped out of her daze and turned around to see Feng Jiuyang looking at her. “What’s the matter?”

Feng Jiuyang said, “Let Tang Ling and Qi Tai watch over this place. Let’s go out and take a look, maybe we can find some clues.”

Mu Xiaoling was silent for a moment before she nodded her head and said, “Alright, let’s go then.”

The two left the inn together and slowly walked down the main street.

This Mu Yuan Town was too desolate, or it could be said that there were too many living people in the town.

At this time, an eight to nine-year-old boy ran over in a panic. His feet slipped and he fell to the ground with a cry. Feng Jiuyang quickly went over to help him up, “Did he get hurt from the fall?”

“It’s nothing, it’s nothing. I didn’t pay attention to the road.” The boy politely said those words before turning around and running away.

“This child …” Feng Jiuyang helplessly shook his head and patted the wrinkles on his clothes. At this time, he suddenly discovered that the money bag on his waist had disappeared.

Naturally, he had his own storage items as well. Besides his looks, he also had a few scattered bits of silver for his daily expenses.

He immediately understood that it was the child that stole him, but he didn’t notice at all. How was this possible? Could it be that there was something wrong with his body?

However, Mu Xiaoling knew that it wasn’t that there was something wrong with Feng Jiuyang’s body, but that the formation had some influence on their senses. Thus, the child said, “Follow and take a look.”

The two of them flew over and caught up with the boy in just a breath’s time. Feng Jiuyang was stopped by Mu Xiaoling just as he was about to rush over.

Mu Xiaoling slightly shook her head and followed the little boy into a dilapidated temple.

“I’m rich now, Ah Bao’s sickness can be cured.” The little boy raised Feng Jiuyang’s bag and shouted excitedly.

Mu Xiaoling and Feng Jiuyang carefully laid on the high wall of the courtyard and looked inside.

There were also three adults, one of whom was an old granny with gray hair. She was sitting outside on a stool in the sun, a middle-aged woman was washing her clothes by the well at the side, and the other was a middle-aged man, who was struggling to plow the ground in a corner of the temple.

The children were the first to surround the little boy, all of them beaming with happiness.

A little girl was the first to clap her hands and jump up, “Great, brother Ah Bao can play with me again!”

Another boy also clapped happily. “That’s right, Brother Ah Bao is the best! When Brother Ah Bao recovers, he can still bring us to catch fish by the water!”

As they spoke of this, the children couldn’t help gulping down their saliva.

One of the older kids stood up, pointed at the boy with the bag and said, “Hey, Li Xiaowan, where did you get the money from?”

“None of your business, hmph.” Li Xiaowu made a face.

“You scoundrel!” The older child really wanted to pounce on him.

Just as the two children were about to fight, the middle-aged man had no choice but to put down what he was doing and walk over, picking them up one by one.

Upon saying this, the two children immediately stopped talking and lowered their heads.

The middle-aged man looked at Li Xiaowu, “Where did you get the money from? Whose wallet is this?”
