Chapter 1056 [The Untamed 30]
Seeing that the situation was not good, Wen Chao was anxious to lead Wang Lingjiao, Wen Qing and others to retreat in a hurry. However, his behavior was extremely despicable. He completely ignored Wen Qing's desperate efforts to stop him, cruelly cut the escape rope, and blocked the exit with boulders, obviously not intending to let Wei Wuxian and others have a chance to survive.
Just when everyone was in a desperate situation and at a loss, Lan Wangji suddenly noticed a few maple leaves floating in the water. This discovery puzzled him, because there were no maple trees in the cave, so where did these maple leaves come from? After some thought, he deduced that these leaves should have been washed in by the water from outside, which means that there is probably an exit at the bottom of the pool, connected to the stream outside.
Seeing this, Youyou decisively proposed an idea: "I will attract the giant turtle's attention, and you take the opportunity to leave quickly."
Wei WuXian responded without hesitation: “I’ll stay too.”
Xue Yang immediately followed up by saying, "I'll stay too."
However, Youyou said firmly: "You go first, don't worry, I know what's going on, and you staying will only be a burden to me."
Wei Wuxian knew Youyou's ability and determination very well. Although he was a little worried, he nodded and said, "Then be careful."
Youyou nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Afterwards, Wei Wuxian and Xue Yang quickly evacuated with the others, leaving Youyou alone to face the giant turtle.
After everyone retreated to a safe area, Youyou lit a raging fire without hesitation, instantly engulfing the giant turtle. The fire was so fierce that it burned the giant turtle clean in the blink of an eye, leaving no ashes.
Youyou clapped her hands, seeming to be quite satisfied with her masterpiece. Then, she jumped into the water without hesitation and began to look for a way to leave this place.
After some exploration, Youyou finally managed to swim out of the water. When she came out of the water, she saw everyone standing on the shore.
Seeing this, Wei Wuxian hurried forward and asked with concern: "Youyou, are you hurt?" There was obvious worry in his voice.
Xue Yang, who was standing by, also hurried over and looked You You up and down anxiously, fearing that she might have some wounds on her body.
Seeing this, Youyou smiled and comforted, "I'm fine, don't worry." Her smile was like a blooming spring flower, making people feel relaxed.
At this time, Lan Wangji said, "I'm going back to Gusu." His tone was calm and firm.
Youyou nodded and responded, "Be careful." Her eyes fell on Lan Wangji, revealing a hint of reluctance.
Lan Wangji nodded slightly to show that he understood, and then said, "Okay, you too, bye." After that, he turned and left, his figure gradually moving farther and farther away, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight.
Youyou said softly, "It's time for us to leave and go back to Lotus Pier." Her voice was gentle but firm, as if this decision had been brewing in her mind for a long time.
When Youyou and the others finally returned to the Lotus Pier, they were shocked by the scene before them. They saw the leader of the Pingyang Yao clan lying on the ground in a miserable state, covered in blood, and obviously suffering from severe injuries. Beside him were a few remaining servants, who were also pale and terrified.
When Master Yao saw Jiang Fengmian, he cried as if he had found a life-saving straw. It turned out that the Yao family had gone through untold hardships to escape the persecution of the Wen family in Qishan and escaped back to Pingyang. However, the Wen family refused to give up and chased them all the way, killing almost all of the Yao family. Now, Master Yao had nowhere else to go, so he came to Jiang Fengmian with the last bit of hope.
Jiang Fengmian listened to Master Yao's crying and could not help but feel grief and anger in his heart. He knew the cruelty and tyranny of the Wen Clan, but he did not expect them to be so ruthless. Seeing Master Yao's miserable appearance, Jiang Fengmian hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to save him.
Jiang Fengmian immediately ordered his men to prepare a wing room so that Sect Master Yao could receive proper treatment. However, Jiang Cheng was worried. He knew that the Wen Clan was very powerful, and now that Sect Master Yao had come to join the Jiang Clan, it might bring a lot of trouble to the Lotus Pier.
"Father, the Wen family is eyeing us covetously. Now that Sect Leader Yao is here, I'm afraid it will bring disaster upon himself." Jiang Cheng frowned and said worriedly.
Jiang Fengmian was silent for a moment. He knew the stakes involved. But how could he stand by and watch someone die? After thinking for a moment, Jiang Fengmian slowly said, "I also know that this move may bring danger to the Lotus Pier, but we can't stand by and watch someone die. Moreover, I think that only the Jinling Jin family has the strength to compete with the Wen family."
Therefore, Jiang Fengmian decided to set off with Jiang Yanli and Xue Yang the next day, taking Sect Leader Yao with them to Jinling. Youyou, Yu Ziyuan, Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng were arranged to stay at home to protect the safety of Lotus Pier.
The next morning, the sun shone on the water surface of the Lotus Pier, and the white lotus flowers swayed gently in the breeze, emitting bursts of fragrance. Jiang Fengmian and Jiang Yanli bid farewell to their families and set off for Jinling. Although Wei Wuxian and Jiang Cheng were a little reluctant, they both believed that Jiang Fengmian and Jiang Yanli could successfully complete the mission and return safely.
After Jiang Fengmian and Jiang Yanli left, Wei Wuxian began to think about strategies to deal with the possible attack of the Wen Clan. He felt that he could not just wait passively, but should make full preparations in advance just in case. So, he discussed with Jiang Cheng how they should respond if the Wen Clan really attacked, and how they could cooperate with each other to better protect the Lotus Pier.
At the same time, in the Wen Clan's territory, Wen Chao was nervously reporting an important matter to Wen Ruohan. It turned out that the Slaughtering Black Tortoise that they had been tracking had been killed, but strangely, the weapon originally used to suppress the monster suddenly disappeared without a trace.
After hearing the news, Wen Ruohan's face turned very gloomy. He was already worried about the Yin Iron, and now this incident happened, which made him feel even more depressed. He angrily rebuked Wen Chao for his incompetence and ordered him to find the missing suppression object as soon as possible.
Wen Chao accepted the order with trepidation, secretly complaining in his heart. He knew that this mission was extremely difficult, but he did not dare to disobey Wen Ruohan's order. After leaving Wen Ruohan's room, Wen Chao began to prepare for the massacre of Lotus Pier, thinking that perhaps he could find some clues about the suppressed objects there.
As a result, Wang Lingjiao, who relied on the power of the Wen family and was arrogant and domineering, led a group of wolf-like subordinates to Yunmeng with great momentum. Once in Yunmeng, she irrationally arrested people on various false charges, causing panic among the people of Yunmeng.
Afterwards, Wang Lingjiao swaggered into the Lotus Pier, looking even more casual than entering her own home. Once inside the Lotus Pier, she acted like a shrew, mocking the decorations of the Lotus Pier, pointing fingers at the Jiang Clan disciples, slandering them for being disrespectful to the Wen Clan and accusing them of harboring evil intentions.
Yu Ziyuan was originally aloof and arrogant, so how could she tolerate such an arrogant Wang Lingjiao? Her face turned cold, and she asked Wang Lingjiao rudely: "Why did you come to my Lotus Pier?"
Wang Lingjiao then calmed down a little and said in a sarcastic tone: "Hey, Madam Yu, don't be so angry. I came here because of a small matter. You also know that your beloved disciple Wei Wuxian spoke rudely to our Master Wen Chao before! So, today I am here on behalf of Master Wen Chao to ask for an explanation from you. You must discipline your disciple and let him know what respect is!"
Upon hearing this, Yu Ziyuan snorted coldly and said, "Just you? Are you qualified to act wildly in my Lotus Pier?"
At this moment, Youyou, who was standing by, suddenly burst out laughing and said sarcastically, "Who do you think you are? How dare you attack us in Lotus Pier?"
When Wang Lingjiao heard this, she flew into a rage and pointed at Youyou and cursed, "Bitch, how dare you curse me?"
Youyou responded calmly, "Who are you calling a bitch?"
Without thinking, Wang Lingjiao blurted out: "The bitch is scolding you!"
Youyou raised the corner of her mouth, revealing a sly smile, and said: "Oh, so you are a bitch."
Wang Lingjiao then realized that she had been tricked. She was so angry that she was shaking all over and roared in anger: "How dare you trick me!"
