After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

Even though they were called out suddenly, they didn't dare to get angry and just stood in line obediently.

Meng Yin was taken to the second floor by Qiao Yi to count the people one by one. When she reached the end, she was surprised: there was one less person compared to this morning!

Meng Yin hurriedly shouted, "Is there anyone still outside who hasn't come back yet?"

The people below looked around and said no.

Qiao Yi said: "At this point, those who don't have any missions are basically in the palace."

Meng Yin lowered his head and thought for a while. Gu Ling only brought a small team of people, and the rest of the people were ordered to stay in the hall at all times. How could there be one more person in the morning and one less person in the evening?

A figure suddenly flashed through her mind. That night, she saw someone running away from the crowd out of the corner of her eye! Could it be him? But who was that person? !

Meng Yin's heart was pounding. She hurriedly said to Qiao Yi, "Qiao Yi, go out and check the surrounding situation. Be careful!"

"Yes!" Qiao Yi bowed and flew away.

Meng Yin shouted to the people below: "Everyone go back first, and gather here if anything happens later!"

Everyone agreed and quickly dispersed.

Meng Yin felt a little nervous and kept wondering who that person was.

"Wait." Meng Yin grabbed the wooden fence with both hands. "My thinking was wrong. It's not necessary to know who he is. The key is his purpose!"

She thought about it again and thought that the man might have been in the Soul-Devouring Hall yesterday. What was he looking for?

Tonight, Gu Ling went to get the jade slip and hadn't come back yet. He just happened to disappear...

Meng Yin suddenly realized that they were planning to launch a surprise attack on the Soul Devouring Palace!

No, no, she quickly rejected this idea. Even if they attacked the Soul Devouring Hall, Gu Ling would come back, and once the people from the branch halls arrived, he would have the jade slip, and Yi Qing and the others would help. Then what was their purpose? Meng Yin's breathing stopped.

Their purpose was to capture me! They wanted to use me to threaten Gu Ling. This was the biggest possibility!

But we cannot rule out the possibility that they want to take the opportunity to severely damage the Soul Devouring Hall.

Meng Yin gasped for breath, his mind working furiously.

If this is really what she thought, then what should she do? How can she avoid being caught and prevent the Soul Devouring Hall from suffering serious damage? How can she keep herself, Qiao Yi, Duan Yan, and everyone in the Soul Devouring Hall safe?

Meng Yin squatted for a while. Duan Yan came up from below and saw Meng Yin squatting on the ground with her head covered. She ran forward and asked worriedly, "Sister Yin, are you okay?"

Meng Yin shook his head and slowly stood up by climbing up the pillar.

"When will Gu Ling come back?" Meng Yin asked.

Duan Yan shook her head, looking embarrassed: "Sister Yin, this is hard to say."

Meng Yin pursed her lips. Indeed, there are traps in the tower, and it takes time to go back and forth, how could it be so fast?

Duan Yan asked: "Sister Yin, is something going to happen? You look so nervous."

Meng Yin nodded slightly and said, "Maybe something will really happen in a while."

Duan Yan immediately became serious, raised one arm to her chest, and said, "Don't be afraid, Sister Yin, I am very good at martial arts, I will protect you."

Meng Yin smiled and rubbed her head.

She suddenly remembered that it was Gu Huai who asked someone to tell her that someone was causing trouble in the palace. Could it be that he knew something?

But now, she couldn't send anyone to ask him. He didn't explain directly, maybe it was just a guess. After all, the Soul Devouring Hall was backed by the Gu family, and he was also a member of the Gu family.

Just as he finished thinking this, Qiao Yi flew down, his anxiety obvious on his face.

Meng Yin asked hurriedly: "What's wrong?"

Qiao Yi's breathing was a little disordered. She was very good at lightness skills, but now she was gasping for breath. She must have gathered all her strength to come back just now.

"Oh no, girl. Someone... someone is going to attack the Soul Devouring Palace!"

"What?!" Duan Yan shouted in disbelief.

Meng Yin licked her lips, and it was just as she thought.

Qiao Yi continued, "Just now when I went outside, I happened to meet Ah You who was beside Master Gu. He told me that Master Gu had received news that someone was going to attack the Soul Devouring Palace and was on the way!"

Duan Yan shook Meng Yin's arm: "Sister Yin, what should we do?"

Meng Yin looked up and estimated the time. It was already late at night. Gu Ling might come back during the day. She had to take over the Soul Devouring Hall tonight! She also had to ensure her own safety.

Otherwise, she couldn't imagine that group of people using her to threaten Gu Ling!

Meng Yin grabbed Qiao Yi's arm and said, "Qiao Yi, tell them to gather downstairs."

Qiao Yi went down immediately. Meng Yin tried to calm down and think about the strategy for a while.

There were only about 2,000 people in the palace. If their biggest target was herself, then she could use herself as bait!

She confirmed this idea. Using her as bait could minimize the losses of the Soul Devouring Hall.

At that time, it will really depend on her acting skills, reaction and courage.

Her lips were bitten bright red, but Meng Yin didn't feel any pain. Her back and palms were covered in cold sweat.

This unknown fear occupied her heart. She could not be afraid nor escape, and she could not just care about herself and abandon so many people in the Soul Devouring Hall.

And Gu Ling, if he comes back and sees that something happened to me, he will go crazy!

Everyone below had gathered. They had seen how powerful Meng Yin was, and Qiao Yi's tone just now was particularly anxious. The scene was exceptionally quiet, and everyone looked up at her.

Meng Yin took a breath, and said with some apology in her tone: "I'm sorry to call you all out so late at night, but there's nothing I can do. I want you all to get ready as quickly as possible. Soon... there will be a tough battle to fight!"

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar below, and someone shouted: "Madam, what happened?"

Meng Yin leaned forward slightly, her expression firm, her bangs messed up by the wind.

"Someone will come to attack the Soul Devouring Palace!"

The crowd began to clamor, some cursed, some questioned, and some were fearless.

Meng Yin continued to shout: "So, I hope you will fight in your best condition. I will not abandon you. We cannot abandon the Soul Devouring Palace! Your future Palace Master is still on the way. Don't worry. We are a well-known sect on the continent. Do you think we are afraid of those unknown bandits?"

The crowd kept shouting, as Meng Yin said, we are all from the Soul Devouring Hall, and there are so many people from the whole continent who are trying their best to get in. They have powerful martial arts, invisible poisons that kill people, and terrifying poisonous insects, what is there to be afraid of? !

Meng Yin waved her hand, signaling them to be quiet.

She drew the line with her hand and said, "This group of people will ambush at the gate. If they can't break down the gate, they will choose to come in from the top."

"Yes!"

"The small team down there, go get something to hold the gate. If they try to break through, hold tight!"

"Yes!"

"Here, get all the explosives out. Here, get your bows and arrows ready! Once they're on top of the wall, fire!"

"Yes!"

"The team at the back, go guard the back door! Leave five of you here, and the rest of you go patrol the courtyard wall!"

"Yes!"

Meng Yin looked at the people who were almost gone and asked Qiao Yi, "Qiao Yi, is there any other entrance to the Soul Devouring Hall, like a dog hole?"

Qiao Yi nodded: "There is one in the east garden."

Meng Yin nodded and said, "Don't worry about that, let's close the door and beat the dog."

Qiao Yi Duan Yan was puzzled and asked, "Miss, what are you going to do?"

Meng Yin raised her arm and took out the dagger that Qiao Yi had given her last time.

She smiled and said, "Qiao Yi, your dagger is quite useful."

Qiao Yi widened his eyes and trembled his lips: "Girl...you..."

Meng Yin nodded. At this moment, she was no longer afraid. Her face was firm and she had made up her mind.

She told them her plan to use herself as bait, but neither of them agreed.

Meng Yin patted their shoulders to comfort them: "Don't worry, nothing will happen to me with you here. I'm just a bait. The main thing is up to you."

Qiao Yi and Duan Yan looked at each other and stretched out their hands at the same time. Suddenly, two scarlet bugs crawled onto their wrists.

"Okay, we understand."

Meng Yin stretched out her arms and hugged them. The three of them leaned very close to each other, and she lowered her head and touched their foreheads.

"Let's go shopping after this is over. Remember to wear the skirts I bought for you!"
