804 Torturing the Saintess (3)
With the Saintess’ strength, she could do whatever she wanted in the entire Nether Capital. It was already very degrading to take hostages to threaten her opponent. What was aggrieving was that she was actually threatened back. Yan Jiuchao shot out arrows.
The Saintess dodged time and time again. In the end, her hair was in a mess, and she was in an unprecedented sorry state.
Whose woman was she?!! Why was she the one protecting her!!!
The Saintess used all her internal energy on her qinggong, so she could not counterattack at all.
Yu Wan was flying around under her protection, so she was not affected.
However, the Saintess was not as uncomfortable as Yu Wan. Not only had her strength been underestimated, but Yan Jiuchao’s strength had also been underestimated. She originally thought that with her cultivation, even if she could not defeat the owner of that aura, she could at least save her life. However, now, she was not so optimistic.
She was carrying a living person, and she had exhausted more internal energy than the other party. If the other party continued to chase after her, she might be tricked.
The Saintess’ eyes flickered and she threw out a few beads. The beads landed on the ground and exploded with a few bangs, creating a rolling poisonous fog.
Under the cover of the poisonous fog, the Saintess flew out of the Lan Manor with Yu Wan. However, even though she had flown away through the poisonous fog, Yan Jiuchao still chased after her with a palm wind.
The Saintess was hit and one of her ribs broke on the spot. She felt a pain in her chest and spat out a mouthful of blood. They held their breaths. Only when the poisonous fog dissipated did Shadow Thirteen walk over with Qing Yan and Shadow Six.
“Young Master!” Shadow Thirteen looked at him.
Yan Jiuchao looked at the endless night with a terrifying cold gaze.
Shadow Six looked at Lan Jiao and pulled out his sword. “Young Master! Her daughter has captured Young Madam. Why don’t we capture her too! We’ll force the Saintess to hand Young Madam over!”
Shadow Thirteen analyzed, “Lan Jiao was seriously injured. The first thing the Saintess did when she appeared was not to protect her mother, but to capture Young Madam. I’m afraid the Saintess doesn’t care much about her biological mother.”
Yan Jiuchao focused his senses and sensed the movements in all directions. He said indifferently, “The experts of the Lan family are about to arrive. Take her away.”
Shadow Thirteen paused and replied, “Yes.”
Young Master must have a reason to take her away.
Before the experts of the Lan Manor arrived, Yan Jiuchao and the others took Lan Jiao away. On the other hand, the Saintess also brought Yu Wan to her final destination.
Yu Wan had learned a lot of words from Grandma during this period of time. She recognized the golden plaque at a glance—Sikong Manor.
Plop—
The Saintess held her chest and held onto the wall, spitting out another mouthful of blood. Yu Wan looked at her strangely. The Saintess said coldly, “Don’t try to escape. Even if I’m injured, it’s still easy to kill you!”
Yu Wan imperceptibly stuffed the iron box into her wide sleeve and raised her eyebrows. “Who said anything about escaping?”
The Saintess held onto the wall and walked to the closed door. She pulled the knocker and knocked.
“Who is it?”
“It’s me, Saintess.” The Saintess said.
The door immediately opened from the inside, and a guard from the Sikong Manor walked out respectfully. When he saw the pale Saintess with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, he was immediately shocked. “Saintess! You…”
The Saintess was about to fall and did not have much strength to talk nonsense with him. She asked weakly, “Is Second Young Master around?”
The guard nodded vigorously. “Yes… yes! Do you want me to report it?”
The Saintess forced herself to say, “No need. I’ll see him personally.”
“Then please come in!” The guard quickly made way for the Saintess.
The Saintess held onto the door and turned to threaten Yu Wan, “Hurry up and follow me.”
Yu Wan reluctantly followed. The guard hesitated when he saw Yu Wan. “Saintess, she’s…”
The Saintess interrupted him. “You don’t have to ask who she is.”
“But not everyone could enter the Sikong Manor casually…” The guard was halfway through his sentence when he saw the Saintess’s dignified expression and couldn’t say a word.
The Saintess was engaged to the second son of the Sikong Clan. In the future, she would be the matriarch of the Sikong Clan. It did not seem to be overboard for the matriarch to bring people into the manor.
The guards who did not dare to offend the Saintess silently retreated to the side and let the Saintess lead Yu Wan into the Sikong Manor.
The Sikong Manor was huge, but because it was late at night, there was no way to admire the scenery.
Yu Wan slowly followed behind the Saintess. Looking at the Saintess’s body that had become a little unsteady because of her injuries, Yu Wan wanted to kick her to the ground several times, but when she thought of the consequences of being cremated after kicking her to the ground, Yu Wan secretly endured it.
The Saintess turned around impatiently. “What are you muttering about behind me?”
“Nothing.” Yu Wan swaggered to the front of her. “If you don’t like me sneaking around behind you, I’ll walk in front of you!”
“Here!” The Saintess coldly called out to Yu Wan, who had crossed the intersection.
Yu Wan turned around and looked at the Saintess who was about to turn left. She nodded and turned to follow.
Along the way, they encountered many servants. The servants were all respectful to the Saintess. No one asked who Yu Wan was or why she was brought into the manor by the Saintess.
Yu Wan leaned against the Saint and said, “Hey, it seems that your status in the Sikong Clan is very high. I heard that you were originally engaged to the eldest son of the Sikong Clan. Why did you change to the second son? Don’t you feel awkward when you marry into the Sikong Clan in the future and meet your ex-fiancé?”
The Saintess endured it and said, “Shut up!”
Yu Wan shut up. After a while, she said, “Do you want to collude with Second Young Master to snatch the position of the head of the Sikong Clan?”
The Saintess couldn’t take it anymore and said, “I told you to shut up!”
“No.”
“Do you believe that I’ll kill you?!”
Yu Wan said, “If you dared to kill me, you would have done so long ago. Don’t forget, my husband said that as long as I die, you have to die with me. My husband means what he says!”
The Saintess said disdainfully, “Hmph, do you really think he can come to the Sikong Manor to kill me alone?”
Yu Wan blinked. “Since you’re not afraid of my husband’s revenge, why don’t you just kill me?”
The Saintess did not answer her question. Instead, she turned her face away and looked at the night. “What’s your relationship with the Sikong Clan? Where did your husband secretly learn the longevity technique?”
“What Longevity Technique?” Yu Wan touched her chin in confusion. So the martial arts that the Ghost King practiced in the forbidden area was called the Longevity Technique…
Yu Wan would not tell her the truth and let her guess.
Speaking of which, she didn’t kill her in the Lan Manor because she was worried that Yan Jiuchao would take revenge on the spot. Now that she had entered the impregnable Sikong Manor, she was still keeping her life. It seemed that she was afraid of Yan Jiuchao’s relationship with the Sikong family.
While she was thinking, the Saintess came to a heavily guarded courtyard. The guards all knew her and quickly made way for her.
The Saintess looked at Yu Wan coldly and said, “What are you standing there for? Hurry up and come in.”
