No One Can Leave
Lao Mu, pretending to be Elder Song, found Elder Pang according to Mo Yan's instructions, but he did not tell him not to leave the forbidden area, but to let Elder Pang go outside to find Gu Ling.
"The master asked us to search the City Lord's Mansion first, and we must find Gu Ling's hiding place." Lao Mu pointed in a direction with a serious look, "You go there, I'll go to the other side, and half an hour later, whether there is any harvest or not, we will meet here."
Elder Pang did not notice Lao Mu's disguise, and did not suspect anything. Hearing this, he quickly left the forbidden area and headed towards the garden.
Lao Mu turned back and approached the cave again. He stood outside and listened to the movement inside, but because the cave was very deep, he could not hear anything outside.
Lao Mu thought about what excuse he should find to go in again, but after thinking about it, he did not have a good reason.
On the other side, Elder Pang, who was "guided" by Lao Mu, entered the garden of the City Lord's Mansion alone and soon approached the octagonal pavilion. Seeing the curtain on the third floor of the pavilion hanging down, he climbed up, holding the pillar with one hand and lifting the curtain with the other to check.
What came into view was a cold silver mask and a pair of eyes without any warmth, close at hand.
Elder Pang's eyes were horrified, and he was about to let go and jump down. His hands loosened, but at the same time his neck was strangled by a pair of hands and he was dragged into the pavilion with great force!
No matter how powerful the master was, he was strangled by the enemy before he made a move. He dared not struggle for his life, because that would only kill him faster.
Gu Ling did not mean to talk nonsense with Elder Pang, and directly forced him to open his mouth and stuffed a truth serum into his mouth. This was the painstaking work of Su Liang and his two masters. Before Gu Ling went out, he brought all the stock at home with him, just to deal with these people on Xingluo Island.
Gu Ling let go of Elder Pang and let him fall to the ground.
The drug took effect, and Gu Ling asked the same questions as he had asked Elder Song not long ago.
Elder Pang and Elder Song were of equal status, and the information they knew about Mo Yan and the magic weapon was exactly the same. Under the effect of the truth serum, they gave almost the same answers.
Gu Ling was not surprised, but still a little disappointed. He didn't dare to show up at the moment. Sheng Yue was not trustworthy, but he was the only one who had the opportunity to get close to Mo Yan and take action. It was difficult for Gu Ling to predict what the result of the truth serum given to Sheng Yue yesterday would be, because the key to the matter was still whether Mo Yan's magic weapon was an object or existed in his mind and could not be changed. This would directly determine what Sheng Yue did and how Gu Ling would respond.
For the sake of safety, Gu Ling had no way of knowing when the truth serum would take effect, so he could not be present. Because he couldn't let himself fall into Mo Yan's hands, losing his freedom would mean losing everything.
"Throw him into the dungeon too." Gu Ling ordered Feng Ming. At this time, the real Elder Song had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the City Lord's Mansion.
Although Elder Song explained that there was a secret passage in the dungeon that led to the seaside, they were imprisoned as prisoners, bound by chains and unable to escape.
Gu Ling did not kill them for the time being, and planned to wait and see the situation.
Feng Ming took the unconscious Elder Pang away, and the pavilion became quiet again, with only Gu Ling left. Lao Mu pretended to be Elder Song, and Cheng Yun pretended to be Gu Ling, and they both sneaked into the forbidden area.
…
The mute slave brought hot tea over, and Lao Mu took it and said that he was going to report the business and sent it in by the way.
After the mute slave left, Lao Mu took the tea and just stepped into the cave, but saw Sheng Yue coming out from inside, with hurried steps.
Old Mu lowered his eyes, "Mr. Sheng, this is hot tea for the master."
"I know you are not Elder Song." Sheng Yue frowned tightly, "Hurry up and tell Gu Ling that I asked Mo Yan to use the medicine he gave. The ring is not a magic weapon. The magic weapon is in his mind and cannot be changed. I don't know when Mo Yan will wake up."
Old Mu's expression changed and he stopped pretending, "Damn it! Didn't you ask him to let the person out?"
Sheng Yue sighed, "I tried. I asked him how to use the magic weapon and asked him to demonstrate it, but he only told me orally and didn't listen to my orders. You know that drug can only control people to tell the truth. Don't waste time, go tell Gu Ling. After this, I have torn my face with Mo Yan, I want to avoid it. "
Old Mu subconsciously reached out and grabbed Sheng Yue, "We agreed to cooperate, you can't leave! Come with me to find Xiao Gu!"
Sheng Yue sighed, looked back at the depths of the cave, "Let's go!"
Old Mu only regretted that he didn't carry explosives with him in order to pretend to be Elder Song, otherwise he would have taken the opportunity to transfer Mo Yan out and blow up the pool. The reason why Mo Yan couldn't be moved was because he still held hostages including Yan Shiba in his hands, and he might be about to wake up at this moment.
As soon as they came out of the cave, Lao Mu paused, "Didn't you give him some more drugs to make him unconscious for a while longer, so that we could buy time to think of a solution?"
Sheng Yue shook his head, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't have it. I've lived in the cave for a long time and don't need that stuff."
Lao Mu took out a medicine bottle, "Here you go, now!"
Sheng Yue refused without hesitation, "It's too dangerous! I won't go back!" He quickly left the cave.
Lao Mu frowned, "You go inform Xiao Gu!" After saying that, he turned around and rushed into the cave again. Although he knew there were risks, the opportunity was not to be missed. If Mo Yan was still unconscious, and he could successfully give him drugs and make him lose his ability to move, the situation might be much better.
When Lao Mu arrived at the same place, he slowed down and carefully looked around. There was no one by the water. There was also a small bed where the little girl had slept, and a small square table.
Realizing that something was wrong, Lao Mu was about to leave when a fierce palm wind hit him!
Lao Mu hurriedly dodged, but was hit in the shoulder. He groaned and wanted to run, but was forced back to the depths of the cave...
…
Before Sheng Yue left the forbidden area, he ran into "Gu Ling" disguised as Cheng Yun.
Chengyun was also hiding near the forbidden area just now and heard the conversation between Lao Mu and Sheng Yue. He didn't believe Sheng Yue. Thinking that he was Gu Ling's substitute, he decided to use Gu Ling's identity to block the road and check the situation first.
"Gu Ling, you came just in time!" Sheng Yue frowned tightly, "The magic weapon is not a ring or any other object. It cannot change hands. What should I do next?"
"Where's Mo Yan?" Chengyun asked, imitating Gu Ling's tone.
"He is still in the cave. He didn't wake up when I came out. He has a hostage in his hands. I don't dare to do anything to him. If I stay here and wait for him to wake up, he will definitely be killed or captured." Sheng Yue frowned and said, "Your master insisted on going in and drugging Mo Yan."
Cheng Yun looked behind Sheng Yue. Covered by ancient trees, he could vaguely see the jagged low mountain where the pool was located.
"What do you think we should do next?" Cheng Yun asked Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue shook his head slightly, "I can't get the magic weapon, so I plan to leave. I won't get involved in what happens next. You can find a way to solve it. Farewell!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sheng Yue wanted to leave, but Cheng Yun turned around and blocked his way. He reached out and pressed his shoulder, "You can't leave until the matter is over."
Sheng Yue's eyes narrowed and he hit Chengyun in the heart with a backhand palm!
Cheng Yun avoided it, and the two of them fought. Sheng Yue snorted coldly, "You are not Gu Ling! You shouldn't have stopped me! I am not your enemy!"
Chengyun's face was condensed, "Gu Ling didn't nod, I will never let you leave!"
"Cheng Yun? I thought it was Qiu Jing." Sheng Yue stared, "You are my biological brother. I don't want to embarrass you. I just want to leave as soon as possible. I won't do anything detrimental to you in the future! Get out of the way!"
"You are not my brother!" Chengyun said coldly, and his attack became more fierce.
But even if Sheng Yue only has one hand left, Cheng Yun is no match for him. The location where the two were located was surrounded by dense trees, and their fight could not be seen from the direction of the garden.
Just after Cheng Yun was slapped by Sheng Yue and vomited blood, Sheng Yue was about to leave when Cheng Yun, who was lying on the ground, grabbed one of his legs.
Sheng Yue dragged Cheng Yun forward for two steps, looking impatient, "Let go!"
Chengyun said nothing and would not let go until his death.
Sheng Yue glanced at the direction of the cave again, "Your master...Master Gu Ling hasn't come out yet. I'm afraid Mo Yan has woken up. If you do this, you will kill us all! Leave here first!" Luodu said. He pulled Cheng Yun up and quickly walked outside the forbidden area.
After leaving the forbidden area, Sheng Yue didn't ask where Gu Ling was. He grabbed Cheng Yun and ran outside the city lord's mansion very quickly.
"You..." Before Cheng Yun could say anything, he was knocked unconscious by Sheng Yue's palm and carried on his back.
Not long after Sheng Yue left the City Lord's Mansion with Cheng Yun on his back, Gu Ling's voice sounded nearby, "Stop."
Sheng Yue's face darkened, he stopped, leaned over and put Chengyun on the ground. When he raised his head again, he saw Gu Ling appearing not far away.
Sheng Yue sighed deeply, "Yan Shiba was forced into the water for the third time today. After he came out, he had an argument with Mo Yan. I took advantage of Mo Yan's distraction and put the medicine in his tea. He I didn’t find it drunk. But unfortunately, the magic weapon is not a ring or any object. As he once told me, it is a time-travel gift given to him by God. In his mind and consciousness, no one can take it away. If he dies, the people he keeps inside will definitely die with him. Yan Shiba betrayed me today, and Mo Yan’s trust in me was already in jeopardy. He only kept me because he knew very well that no one could take away the magic weapon. , what to do with him. I don’t want to be killed or caught, so I can only leave. Your master insisted on going in and drugging him. Chengyun may have been caught at this time. I didn’t care about him in the past. He is my brother, there is no way I can kill him. To be honest, I think your chances of winning are very slim in what happens next. Mo Yan's magic weapon is invincible. If you don't even dare to get close to him, what can you do to him? When he finds out that Yan Shiba is fake, he will be furious and even go on a killing spree to teach you a bloody lesson! I plan to take Cheng Yun away, but I don’t want him to do it! You lost your life! This has nothing to do with him! He is so innocent that he would risk his life to protect you!"
Gu Ling glanced at Chengyun and asked Sheng Yue expressionlessly, "Don't you keep saying you want to time travel?"
Sheng Yue shook his head, "The premise of everything is to stay alive. Originally our plan was to take away Mo Yan's magic weapon, at least so that he can't use it, but now there are living people trapped in his space. We can neither kill him nor control him. He, let alone force him to go into the pool to explore the way, it is impossible for him to release all the people inside, that is his life-saving talisman, but we have no leverage against him if you insist on letting Cheng Yun stay. "Excuse me, I can leave him alone, I believe you won't let anything happen to him, but I can't help with what happens next, so let's leave it at that."
"You can go." Gu Ling said, taking out a pill bottle, "Take a truth pill first to prove that what you said is true."
Sheng Yue frowned and looked back at the forbidden area. "You are wasting time. Aren't you afraid that your master might be killed by Mo Yan?" He retracted his gaze and took a step forward to take the medicine from Gu Ling's hand and put it into his mouth. "You know, I am immune to all poisons. This medicine may not be useful to me."
Gu Ling leaned over and pinched Cheng Yun's philtrum to wake him up.
Cheng Yun stood up and subconsciously wanted to hit Sheng Yue, but was stopped by Gu Ling. "Wait a minute."
Normally, the truth serum should have taken effect, but Sheng Yue still stood there calmly, without any abnormality. He even opened his mouth to show Gu Ling that he had really taken the medicine.
"Gu Ling, thank you for your medicine, which made me no longer think about Mo Yan's magic weapon." Sheng Yue finished speaking, turned around and ran in another direction, "Goodbye, take care!"
"Let him go?" Cheng Yun turned his head to ask Gu Ling, but saw that he had already flown after Sheng Yue.
Cheng Yun immediately chased after him.
It was not until they reached the dense forest by the sea that Gu Ling stopped Sheng Yue and started fighting without saying anything.
Soon, Cheng Yun also caught up and joined the battle.
Sheng Yue was speechless, and said while fighting, "Are you crazy? Why do you have to entangle me? Gu Ling, do you suspect that I am lying to you? You don't think I have already grabbed the magic weapon? If so, why would I fight with you? I can just move my fingers and catch you all!"
Cheng Yun was stunned for a moment, "That makes sense."
"There is no point in you stopping me! Even if I stay, do you believe that I will help you sincerely, Gu Ling?" Sheng Yue asked coldly.
As a result, Cheng Yun said, "Why don't you kill him? You don't have to worry about him doing something wrong."
Sheng Yue's face darkened, "I am your brother!"
Gu Ling's face was as cold as ice, and his long sword was sharp, without any mercy.
In terms of martial arts, Sheng Yue was no match for Gu Ling, not to mention that he was now missing a hand, and that hand was chopped off by Gu Ling.
With Cheng Yun, it didn't take long for Sheng Yue to retreat and lose the battle.
Sheng Yue threw away his knife, took a deep breath, and looked at Gu Ling coldly, "What do you want?"
"In short, the matter is not over, no one can leave." Gu Ling looked indifferent, took out a bundle of thin ropes from his arms, and walked towards Sheng Yue.
Sheng Yue knew that he could not escape, so he surrendered obediently and let Gu Ling tie his shoulders tightly with complicated knots.
Chengyun looked towards the forbidden area, "If Senior Mu still hasn't come out, I'm afraid something has happened."
Sheng Yue's face was calm, "I have reminded you. Gu Ling, I know you won't give up. My advice to you is that when it really comes to the last resort, don't bother with irrelevant people, go home as soon as possible, take your wife and daughter and hide in a place where Mo Yan can't find you, don't ask about worldly affairs, and you will find peace."
