Supreme Dragon Palace
Chapter 630
"Sister, isn't Haoyue going to throw herself into a trap? Doesn't she know that there are two very powerful emperor-level powerhouses beside Yu Ran, and they are not something she can deal with at all!"
Yun Siyu opened her eyes wide and looked worried, "Sister, do we want to help?"
Yun Siyao glanced at the communicator in his hand, took a deep breath, and said with a heavy face: "No, we'll just wait here. If there is a change in Linhai City, we'll leave."
"But……"
Yun Siyu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her sister directly waving: "There is nothing but, don't forget what our mission is this time."
"Now that the mission has failed, Uncle Yin and the others have all been captured. If we are also captured, the entire army will be wiped out. Without our timely feedback, something may happen to the Garden of Gods."
"So, we have to go back to the Garden of God as soon as possible, report what happened here, and let the elders of the Garden of God faction be stronger. At that time, Uncle Yin and the others can also be rescued, and the Garden of God can also get those inheritances." Those who save the crisis in the Garden of Gods!"
Yun Siyu knew that what her sister said was very reasonable, but she still felt a little sorry to let her watch Uncle Yin and others become prisoners...
At this time, near the Jiutang Community in Linhai City.
Haoyue stood on the trunk of a big tree, staring at the inside of the community through the gaps in the leaves.
The sky gradually darkened.
The street lamps came on one after another, and Haoyue hid himself in the tree like a ghost in the dark night. There were scattered passers-by on the road, but no one found Haoyue on the tree.
At this time, Haoyue has already merged with the surrounding environment!
Minutes passed by...
The lights in the villa were also gradually turned off, the people inside went to bed and began to fall asleep, and the community gradually became quiet, with only one security team patrolling the community as usual.
After observing for this period of time, Haoyue has figured out the patrol rules of those security personnel in the community.
She shook her body slightly, so that her slightly stiff body gradually became flexible, and the energy in her body circulated slowly. With a flip of her right hand, a short blade fell into her palm.
Holding the sword behind his back, the whole person is like a night owl, darting from the tree to the Jiutang community silently.
Under the refraction of the street lamp, the cold sword blade shone with a cold light!
A patrol team had just passed by, and another patrol team was still about ten meters away. Haoyue tapped lightly on the wall with her right foot, like a nimble kitten. The shrubs on the side of the road in the community...
There is a night wind blowing.
The leaves sway gently.
This patrol team leader walked past Haoyue's hiding place, without noticing Haoyue's aura.
When the team was far away, Haoyue immediately got up, followed the shadows in the community, and quickly approached the house where Yin Shu and others were being held.
After evading several waves of patrolling guards on the way, Haoyue finally approached the villa where Yin Shu and others were imprisoned without any danger.
The defense around the villa is very tight.
There is a security guard standing guard at intervals, and there are monitors on the wall. It is not so difficult to intrude silently.
Haoyue hid in the shadows, did not act rashly, but observed the defense of this villa, hoping to find a loophole.
But unfortunately, she observed for more than ten minutes, but she didn't find a chance for her to sneak in quietly. She checked the time and knew that she couldn't wait any longer.
No matter what, she had to act.
Haoyue looked around, then suddenly turned around and went into a vacant villa next to her. She didn't know what she was messing with in there, and it didn't take long before she came out disheveled, and hurriedly found a secret place to hide.
She just hid, and then heard a loud bang.
In that vacant villa, the fire was soaring into the sky, and all the glass was shattered. It was very prestigious and alarmed the whole community.
The security personnel in the community immediately rushed over here.
The security guards guarding Yin Shu and the others were very close to the scene of the incident. When they saw the fire in the villa, several security guards left their posts immediately and rushed into the villa to fight the fire...
There was a gap in the originally tight defense, and Haoyue took the opportunity to get in through the gap without alarming anyone.
The light inside the villa is bright and brightly lit.
There were only two security personnel inside, and they were all focused on the explosion at the moment, and they didn't even notice that someone sneaked in quietly, and even sneaked into the room while they were absent-minded.
The room is decorated in a low-key and restrained manner, which shows that the original owner of this room has quite high taste.
Yuan Ye and the others, who had applied the wound medicine, slumped weakly on the sofa in the hall, but each of them was still trying to stretch their necks, wanting to know what happened outside.
"Could it be Haoyue and the others who came to save us?"
Haokong said suddenly.
Yuan Ye frowned, and said in a deep voice: "I hope it's not them. If they are smarter, they should know that coming to rescue us at this time is throwing themselves into a trap. It is useless except to give away the head. I hope they have all escaped." Out of Yu Ran's pursuit, I embarked on the road back to the Garden of Gods!"
Yuan Ye prayed silently.
He really didn't want to see someone come to rescue them!
Haokong also sighed when he heard the words, and said sadly: "Yes, I really hope they all leave safely, and don't come back..."
"elder brother!"
Before Haokong finished speaking, he faintly heard his little sister's voice, he was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his temples, and bluntly said that he was too tired and had auditory hallucinations.
His sister had already left Linhai City, how could she stay here?
"Brother, are you alright?"
A gust of fragrant wind rushed into Haokong's nose, and then, in Haokong's astonished eyes, he saw Haoyue rushing towards him like a gust of wind, and the concern and worry in his big eyes were beyond words.
Seeing his sister who was close at hand, Haokong blinked his eyes to make sure that he didn't have hallucinations, his face suddenly sank, he lifted Haoyue's hand that came to check his injury, and shouted coldly: "Why are you here? "
Haoyue was stunned for a moment, then said, "Brother, I'm here to save you!"
"Nonsense, do we need you to save us? Have you forgotten what our mission is this time? Didn't I tell you a long time ago that the mission is above all else? Your first thought is not to save us, but how to save us. Report the matter to the Garden of Gods and complete the task!"
Haokong almost gritted his teeth when he said this.
Is he happy that his sister came to rescue him regardless of danger?He must be happy, but he is more worried about his sister's safety.
There are strong people around Yu Ran.
If the younger sister's whereabouts were exposed, she would definitely not be able to leave safely, and she would also be reduced to a prisoner.
He really didn't want to see his sister fall into this borderland.
"Now you go now before anyone finds you, leave Linhai City, and do everything you can to get back to the Garden of Gods!" Haokong glanced at the noisy outside, and said in a low voice, "Don't worry, Yu Ran dare not kill us……"
When Hao Kong said this, he suddenly stopped.
He thought of Li Fangyang, whose bones were not yet cold, and shivered involuntarily. How could this Yu Ran not dare to kill them?It's all started!
However, Haokong didn't mention this, paused, and continued: "As long as you return to the Garden of Gods and report the things here truthfully, the Garden of Gods will definitely send out an elder at the peak of the ninth-level emperor level."
"At that time, we can leave in a dignified manner, and even make that Yu Ran kneel down and beg for mercy!"
When Haokong said this, his face was full of murderous intent, and so were the others.
They were tortured terribly by Yu Ran.
The physical torture can still be tolerated, but the mental torture is really too harmful. How have they ever suffered such grievances when they are pampered?What's even worse is that they don't even have the right to appeal!
However, no matter how Haokong knew it and moved it with emotion, Haoyue had no intention of leaving at all. She quickly cleaned up the foreign objects that trapped Haokong and others and took out a medicine bottle.
"What kind of medicine is this?"
Hao Kong glanced at the strange medicine bottle in his sister's hand, and asked suspiciously.
Haoyue said: "Brother, this thing should be able to undo the blockade in your body and allow your Qi to emerge again."
"really?"
Hao Kong was overjoyed when he heard the words, and said, "This is really great, hurry up, remove my seal first!"
Haoyue smiled, poured out a pill, and was about to hand it to Haokong, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared, stopped between Haoyue and Haokong, and took the pill that Haoyue handed over, Then he threw it into his mouth, smashed it a few times, shook his head and said, "Tsk, what are you guys doing, it's too bitter!"
Mo Lingxi didn't swallow it, but spat it out after smashing it up, with disgust on his face.
"who are you?"
When Haoyue saw Mo Lingxi, her expression immediately became extremely vigilant, she took a few steps back, tightly grasped the blade in her hand, and fixed her eyes on Mo Lingxi.
From Mo Lingxi, she sensed the danger of death!
"She is Mo Lingxi, with the strength of the fifth emperor level, Haoyue, you are not her opponent, run away quickly, I will hold her back!"
After Hao Kong finished speaking, he rushed towards Mo Lingxi, ignoring his own injuries.
Haokong is still an ordinary person full of scars and has no vitality in his body. His pounce is not a threat to Mo Lingxi at all. Even if Haokong has a cultivation base, he cannot threaten Mo Lingxi. Lingxi.
With just one kick, Mo Lingxi kicked the flying Hao Kong away, and hit the sofa hard, knocking down the whole sofa.
Hao Kong was lying on the ground, clutching the place where he had just been kicked, coughing profusely, his face was flushed from coughing, and he looked very painful.
"Overestimating one's abilities!" Mo Lingxi glanced at Haokong, snorted coldly, then looked at Haoyue again, and said coldly, "It really made Yu Ran guess right, there are really fools who came here to save people, are you Who? Where is your companion?"
Haoyue bit her lip, and turned her head to see her elder brother staggering to his feet with a pained look on his face, and her face immediately sank.
She wanted to go over to see if her elder brother was injured internally.
However, she was locked on by Mo Lingxi's qi mechanism, and she didn't dare to make any changes at all!
However, facing Mo Lingxi's question, Haoyue chose to ignore it, and kept her mouth tightly shut, as she did not intend to utter a word.
Mo Lingxi shook his head, and said pitifully: "I advise you to confess directly. If you interrogate, I'm afraid that you, who are like flowers, will become an ugly person. Why bother?"
Haoyue gritted her teeth, but still refused to say a word, she just stared at Mo Lingxi with a murderous expression on her face.
"Forget it, since you still refuse to tell, then hand you over to them for interrogation." Seeing Haoyue like this, Mo Lingxi didn't bother to ask any more questions. With a movement, before Haoyue could react, Feng It stopped Haoyue's aura.
Haoyue, who was originally full of murderous aura, was instantly like a leaking balloon, and her aura disappeared into nothingness.
There was a flash of fear in Haoyue's eyes.
She knew that the other party was very powerful, but she didn't expect that he was so powerful that she didn't even have any room to resist, and her cultivation base was sealed so easily, and she became an ordinary person.
"and many more……"
Haokong who finally recovered, saw that Mo Lingxi was about to carry Haoyue out, and hurriedly shouted, "Please, please give me a few minutes, I will definitely ask my sister to explain, please!"
Haokong rushed to Mo Lingxi, pleading all over his face.
"Brother, what are you begging her for? I don't believe she can do anything to me. Besides, even if she wants to execute me, I'm not afraid."
Seeing her brother like this, Haoyue felt a little unbelievable, as if something was blocked in her throat, she felt very uncomfortable.
Hao Kong shook his head and smiled wryly: "Sister, what do you think of us?"
"We are also fearless just like you, but when we really endured their interrogation, we discovered that our ability to bear is not as strong as we thought."
"Their interrogation methods are terrible, and none of us resisted!"
"Since the final result is an confession, why do you have to suffer a lot of torture?"
"Sister, listen to brother and explain!"
Hao Kong earnestly persuaded him.
He really didn't want to see his sister suffer.
Haoyue bit her lip, looked at Eldest Brother, then Uncle Yin, and several others. These people had more or less injuries on their bodies, and they had obviously been interrogated. Judging by Eldest Brother's tone just now, they couldn't bear it. , All explained!
"Have you thought about it? Should we confess now, or after we try our interrogation methods?"
Mo Lingxi frowned slightly, a little impatient.
It's no wonder she has a good temper if she doesn't sleep at night and has to wait here.
If Yi Qianjun and the others hadn't left, she wouldn't be talking nonsense here at all, and would have thrown Haoyue to Yi Qianjun for interrogation.
Haoyue's face changed for a while, obviously she was conflicted, but she finally chose to compromise.
"I say……"
When Haoyue said these two words, her tone was full of desolation, and her whole person's energy and energy were also a little weak, "You want to know the whereabouts of the two sisters Yun Siyao, right?"
"I can tell you the truth, I don't know!"
Yun Siyu opened her eyes wide and looked worried, "Sister, do we want to help?"
Yun Siyao glanced at the communicator in his hand, took a deep breath, and said with a heavy face: "No, we'll just wait here. If there is a change in Linhai City, we'll leave."
"But……"
Yun Siyu wanted to say something, but was interrupted by her sister directly waving: "There is nothing but, don't forget what our mission is this time."
