The transmigrated villain wants to escape Feng Aotian's hellish situation.

Chapter Fifty-Four: Questioning the Heart

What just happened here?

Upon hearing this, Ling'er's expression turned serious.

"Ling'er didn't know the specifics either. She just woke up and saw a white fox-like paper puppet at the head of her bed. Then it talked nonsense to me, saying that it was my sister and wanted me to go with it. When I refused, it tried to take me away by force, but I burned it in a fire."

Paper puppets...

It seems I wasn't wrong. Yin Kangxuehan has been searching for Ling'er for so long, how could she give up so easily?

Now there's another uncertain factor.

However, since even the weakened Ling'er was able to burn Yin Kangxuehan's paper puppet with a single fire.

This proves that Zhuang Hancheng's palm strike did indeed cause him considerable damage.

Judging from the current situation, the threat to myself should not be significant.

The only thing to be wary of is her using other methods to forcibly take Ling'er away.

It seems I still need to dig into someone's treasure trove.

However, Qin Yangjun really wanted to know what Ling'er was thinking.

"Ling'er, I mean, if a relative really came looking for you and wanted you to go with her, would you go with her?"

Upon hearing this, a determined glint flashed in the little girl's eyes.

"Ling'er is the young master's person in life and in death. As long as the young master doesn't drive Ling'er away, Ling'er will stay by the young master's side for the rest of her life."

A classic answer.

Qin Yangjun was naturally pleased that Ling'er wanted to stay by his side.

but....

"Ling'er, aren't you curious about your background? Why did you end up wandering in Canggu City? And what kind of people were your parents?"

Ling'er seemed to have misunderstood Qin Yangjun's meaning, and her nose suddenly stung with tears...

"Young Master, are you trying to send Ling'er away?"

Seeing that the person in front of him was about to cry, Qin Yangjun quickly comforted him.

"No, no, no, I was just asking. Although you call me young master, I respect your thoughts. I just want to hear your truest voice."

Upon hearing Qin Yangjun's words, Ling'er couldn't help but hold back her tears.

To be honest, she really cared about Qin Yangjun's problems, but she didn't want to leave Qin Yangjun's side.

After struggling with the decision for a long time, her expression became quite dejected.

"Ling'er... doesn't know."

Qin Yangjun didn't speak, but instead rubbed Ling'er's head.

The Celestial Fox clan was a great help to Changsun Youyou in her later years. Qin Yangjun had actually considered befriending the Celestial Fox clan through Ling'er. He believed that as long as he mentioned it, Ling'er would definitely cooperate.

However, Qin Yangjun did not want Ling'er to be coerced into doing certain things; she should follow her own will.

Fearing that Ling'er would be attacked again, Qin Yangjun did not return to his room.

Instead, he spent the whole night meditating cross-legged in Ling'er's room.

The next morning, when Qin Yangjun opened his eyes, he saw Ling'er's slightly resentful gaze.

"what happened?"

"No...it's okay."

Ling'er turned her head away.

Last night, when Qin Yangjun said he wanted to stay, Ling'er was still struggling with fear and shyness because her young master had suddenly changed his personality. In the end, he just sat on her bed all night.

Although this was in line with Qin Yangjun's personality, Ling'er still felt a little disappointed for some reason.

Jingle...jingle...jingle...

A series of crisp sounds suddenly rang in their ears, and Qin Yangjun raised his head.

"This is the defense alarm for Canggu City... The demon race has begun their attack?!"

The two of them immediately got up and rushed out the door.

In just a few breaths, Qin Yangjun arrived at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion. At this time, disciples of the Yuqian Sect were already arriving in the huge square.

There were soldiers in armor running towards the city gate, and some soldiers were evacuating the crowd.

As soon as Qin Yangjun arrived, Zhuang Hancheng and the four leaders of Yu Qianzong came to greet him.

Before he could speak, Zhuang Hancheng slightly cupped his hands and said:

"The scouts at the front report that the demon army has begun its advance and is about ten miles away from Canggu City. Also, I have taken care of the matter you requested."

It's done. You're pretty quick.

“City Lord, based on your past experience, make the necessary preparations. Once the Yuqian Sect disciples have gathered, we will immediately rush to the city gate.”

After saying "yes," Zhuang Hancheng turned around and transformed into a streak of light, rushing towards the city gate.

In about half an incense stick's time, most of the disciples of the Yuqian Sect had arrived.

Hua Yaoyao, Yu Lingyue, and Qian Xiaoyu arrived relatively early and immediately surrounded Qin Yangjun.

Actually, last night, Hua Yaoyao and Yu Lingyue both wanted to go out and check on Qin Yangjun and Ling'er. They didn't want the other to come with them, but their rooms were close to each other.

Going out will definitely attract the other person's attention, so they both want to fall asleep facing each other.

As a result, the two of them stood guard at the door until dawn.

Neither of them slept until the alarm went off.

Jiang Yanfeng was the last to arrive.

After counting the people, Qin Yangjun frowned slightly.

He felt like someone was missing... but he couldn't remember who it was.

At this moment, a peak master beside him also had a serious expression.

"Where did that kid Li Xuanyang run off to?"

The group looked at each other, and finally fixed their gaze on Jiang Yanfeng.

A hint of displeasure flashed across Jiang Yanfeng's face.

"Don't look at me, I don't know. I haven't seen him since I got off the ship yesterday."

Just then, they heard running sounds behind them. Turning around, they saw Li Xuanyang running into the group, panting heavily.

Yu Lingyue's eyes narrowed slightly because she sensed a trace of an aura that shouldn't be present on Li Xuanyang.

And why did he come from the direction of the city wall?

Looking at Li Xuanyang, Qin Yangjun pondered to himself that, according to the original plot, Li Xuanyang should have died in the Ancient Spirit Ruins.

Now that he has survived, he may cause deviations in the plot.

Should we...?

However, just as Qin Yangjun was pondering...

Fireballs streaked across the sky, and a beam of light suddenly shot out from the city lord's mansion behind them, as a huge magic array unfolded in the sky.

Countless fireballs slammed into the magic circle, instantly exploding into flames that engulfed the sky.

One of the peak masters shouted loudly.

"The city's protective formation has been activated! The demon race has begun its attack! Now, everyone, listen to my command and proceed to the city gate to provide support. Once at the city gate, follow the instructions of City Lord Zhuang."

"Yes!"

With a loud shout in unison, a group of disciples rushed towards the city gate, all of them with Golden Core cultivation unleashing their flying swords.

The emergency situation diverted the group's attention from Li Xuanyang.

When the group arrived at the city gate, they saw a dense swarm of demons in the distance, and the new students were so surprised that they were speechless.

Didn't they say this attack wouldn't be large-scale? How come it's so exaggerated?

Suddenly, Zhuang Hancheng's voice rang in everyone's ears.

"Stop standing around, spread out! Those below the Golden Core stage, go to logistics; those at the Golden Core stage, go to city defense!"

"Yes!"

Chapter 55 Chain Reaction

Just as Zhuang Hancheng finished giving his instructions, enormous auras appeared in the sky.

Two of them are Mahayana realms, and nine are Void Realms.

Without saying a word, Zhuang Hancheng rushed out. At the same time, beams of light shot into the sky from the city wall. Most of them were experts at the Void Realm, and there was even one at the Mahayana Realm.

At this point, Qin Yangjun also realized that the war between cultivators was different from that of ordinary people; it was not about winning by sheer numbers.

If a strong warrior on a battlefield has no equally matched opponent, then the battlefield will become a one-sided massacre.

The avoidance of this war was more extensive than described in the book.

Moreover, both sides are stronger than before. On the Canggu City side, there is an unknown Mahayana Realm expert, and on the demon race side, there is a demon king.

This is probably the butterfly effect that resulted from his own assassination.

Watching the soldiers battling below and in the sky, Qin Yangjun felt a surge of excitement.

He thought that his junior brothers and sisters had all gone down to fight bloody battles, and it was really inappropriate for him to still be standing above.

However, Qin Yangjun quickly calmed down. After experiencing the assassination attempt, his temperament became much more composed. After thinking it over, he realized that...

Those demons outside the city all want him dead. If his fate is noticed, and those powerful demons are willing to risk their lives to kill him, he will need the help of others.

It would be even more troublesome if I were wanted by the demon race; I might even give the enemy a "chicken blood" buff.

So if I were to join the fight at this time, I would only be causing trouble for others.
