"Sometimes in the future..."
"Stop talking nonsense!"
Wushuang Gui's expression changed drastically. He had no intention of saying anything more to the girl in the black dress who was blocking his way. Carrying the seriously injured Yan Lingji in his arms, he turned in another direction and ran away quickly.
"It seems that some prey are never aware of their own situation."
Yu Ying, who was standing with his back to them, casually pulled out the nine-headed magatama that was stuck in the ground to the side.
Her graceful figure suddenly moved.
"Shh!"
Leaving behind a series of blurry afterimages, its true form had already sped away, reappearing before Wushuang Gui and Yan Lingji, its sharp sword hovering in the air, its light blazing.
"Ahhh!"
The sudden, blinding light stung the eyes of Wushuang Gui and Yan Lingji, making it difficult for them to look straight ahead.
"If my master hadn't ordered me to capture you alive and interrogate the person behind this, do you think you two would still be alive right now?" You Ying sneered indifferently, her eyes full of regret.
She hadn't killed anyone in a long time, and her hands were itching to do so.
"I really wish I could kill you both with a single sword strike right now."
Her figure was as light as a willow catkin, and she silently floated to Wushuang Gui's shoulder, placing her right foot on it, while her right hand tightly gripped the Nine-Headed Jade, which she hid behind her back.
With his left hand pointing directly at the back of Wushuang Gui's head, his five fingers were slender as jade, and five invisible soul-capturing threads extended from his fingertips, piercing into his skull and temporarily controlling him.
"Come with me back to see my master."
Youying smiled coldly.
Wushuang Gui, expressionless and with empty eyes, turned around, hugged Yan Lingji tightly, and walked in the direction they had fled from.
"Wushuang, Wushuang, what's wrong?" Yan Lingji asked anxiously.
However, he spoke too quickly.
A large amount of bright red blood gushed from her cherry lips, sliding down her chin and staining Wushuang Gui's chest. She struggled to raise her hand, attempting to cast a fire charm spell.
"Little sister, I advise you to behave yourself, otherwise I won't hesitate to send you to your death right now." Youying waved her right hand, placing the tip of the nine-headed magatama on Yanlingji's neck. The white bone blade easily cut through her snowy skin, and blood slowly seeped out.
A cold smile appeared on her stunningly beautiful face.
“My master ordered me to leave him alive for interrogation.”
"But he did not mention how many people would stay."
Standing alone in the woods, Han Feng didn't think too much before he caught the familiar heavy footsteps approaching. He chewed on the roasted bear meat in his hand and looked towards the source of the sound.
What came into view was a kind-looking, burly man with snow-white skin, his face expressionless and his eyes vacant, holding the strange girl in red who harbored murderous intent towards him securely in his arms as he returned on his own.
On its left shoulder,
Youying stood on one foot, her left hand's five fingers moving subtly, as if she were manipulating something invisible.
His right hand tightly gripped the Nine-Headed Magatama, which remained horizontally between their necks.
"My lord, the person you requested has been brought back," Youying said respectfully.
"Hmm, well done." Han Feng chewed on the bear meat, swallowing it bone and all, then turned his gaze to the girl in the red dress and questioned, "Who ordered you to attack me?"
"Humph!"
Even if I cough myself to death, I won't tell Zizi!
The loli Yan Ling Ji was filled with rage, her azure eyes burning with hatred and murderous intent, yet she showed no fear of death whatsoever.
He killed him.
Therefore, whatever he wanted to know, she was determined not to let him have his way.
"You think I won't know if you don't tell me? What a naive and ignorant little girl." Han Feng turned to You Ying and ordered, "Make her talk. I want to know the whole story."
"Please wait a moment, my lord." Youying lowered the nine-headed magatama in her right hand, formed hand seals, and strengthened her control over the Soul-Capturing Puppet Technique.
356. Soul Illusion
At the same time, it applies a hypnotic effect of soul illusion to the subject.
"Tell me, what's your name? Where are you from?" Youying asked casually, wanting to test the hypnotic effect of her soul illusion technique.
Wushuang Gui's eyes were empty, and his expression remained unchanged.
Upon hearing Youying's question, he responded calmly and mechanically: "Peerless Ghosts, the Baiyue Assassin Group."
"You said you're the Peerless Ghost?" Han Feng was astonished upon hearing this, and the meat he hadn't yet swallowed almost got stuck in his mouth.
After forcing her to swallow, he hurriedly asked, "What is the girl's name in your arms?"
"And where did it come from?"
At this moment, Wushuang Gui had completely lost his self-awareness, answering every question with surprising honesty.
"Her surname is Ji, and her given name is Yan Lingji."
"From the Baiyue assassin group."
"The Baiyue assassin group?" Upon hearing this, You Ying's eyes flashed with a cold killing intent. She asked Han Feng for instructions: "Since the Baiyue assassin group intends to harm you..."
Should I personally wipe out their entire group?
"Don't rush," Han Feng stopped the fierce and warlike You Ying.
He first glanced at the strange little girl who was spitting blood and still glaring at him fiercely, then carefully examined the fair-skinned, robust young man.
Even after learning the name, he still couldn't recognize the person.
"These two kids look so different as children compared to how I remember them as adults, it's really awkward to look at them like that."
After staring at the man who called himself the Peerless Ghost for a moment, Han Feng suddenly understood.
This person is not wearing any makeup!
He quickly dipped his hand in some raw bear blood, pondered for a moment, and then, based on his memory of the Peerless Ghost's facial makeup, used the bear blood as cosmetics.
Use your fingers to outline and apply makeup to her cheeks.
Look again after makeup is done.
This face already bore a 60-70% resemblance to the adult Wushuang Gui in his memory.
"It really was the two of them!"
"Logically speaking, these two should have been captured by Bai Yifei by now. How come they are in Wei, which is thousands of miles away from Baiyue?"
Han Feng frowned, lost in thought.
Looking up at the mindless Wushuang Gui, he continued to press, "Why did you come here?"
"After arriving here, why do you want to kill me?"
"I came with Yan Lingji." Wushuang Gui replied woodenly, but a hint of struggle could be seen deep in his eyes.
But under Youying's powerful control, he was unable to break free.
It quickly returned to its blank and empty state.
"I don't know why they're killing."
"Why did you kill me?" Han Feng was clearly taken aback upon hearing this.
The result was unexpected. He had initially thought that his earlier escape from Baiyue with his sister had caused some unknown negative impact.
This attracted the attention of the higher-ups, who sent people to track him down and take his life.
However, it is clear that he was overthinking it.
Han Feng turned his gaze to the seriously injured girl being held in Wushuang Gui's arms. He remained expressionless, showing no concern for her pale face and the blood seeping from her mouth.
"Then why did you kill me?"
"The Baiyue are far from the Wei Kingdom. What is the purpose of your trip?"
Surrounded by the peerless ghost, Yan Lingji glared fiercely at Han Feng, then closed her eyes, pressed her bright red lips together, and focused intently, preparing to face the terrifying supernatural attack from the girl in the black dress.
"Unwilling to speak? You have no choice." Han Feng's gaze locked onto You Ying, signaling her to use the Soul-Capturing Puppet Technique.
Youying nodded in response.
Her pristine white fingers danced like fluttering butterflies, directly piercing the soul of the peerless ghost.
"Uh!"
The peerless ghost growled in pain, then his eyes rolled back, and his massive, imposing body collapsed limply to the ground, falling into a deep coma.
357. Exchange soul for vital energy, cultivate the Tao with life.
Just as he was about to fall to the ground.
With a swift movement of her right hand, Youying steadily lifted Yanlingji from Wushuanggui's arms and gently placed her on the ground. Then, she skillfully pierced the Soul-Seizing Puppet Silk into Yanlingji's skull.
"Uh, no!" Yan Lingji tried her best to use her Fire Charm Technique to resist You Ying's Soul-Seizing Puppet Technique.
