Taihuang Star Seal

Xiao Zhenxiong suddenly raised his head, with a faint light in his eyes, and slowly walked towards Ding Chen who had his back to him.

At this time, Ding Chen continued to play with the "mid-grade treasure" he had just obtained in a daze.

Until Xiao Zhenxiong stretched out his hands and was about to strangle his neck from behind——

"Crack!"

Xiao Zhenxiong's movements suddenly paused.

The arm he had just raised suddenly fell down.

Immediately afterwards, his body seemed to have been drained of blood and bones, and he fell limply to the ground!

Only then did Ding Chen slowly turn around.

He looked at Xiao Zhenxiong who was lying limp on the ground, curled his lips and said, "Tsk, this guy's movements after being controlled are still too stiff."

"Besides, I lost my strength after just a few steps..."

It turned out that the reason why Xiao Zhenxiong suddenly moved was the result of Ding Chen's manipulation.

As early as when Ding Chen first used acupuncture to treat Xiao Zhenxiong, he had already laid the groundwork for the "Thirteen Soul-Controlling Needles" at this moment.

However, Ding Chen's cultivation level at that time was still too low.

If the acupuncture method is used forcibly, Xiao Zhenxiong only needs to use his body-protecting mysterious energy to block everything!

Therefore, during the first three acupuncture sessions, Ding Chen could only secretly inject a strand of soul-controlling energy into the patient's body in addition to treatment.

Until today, after taking the [Eight Spirit Soul Refining Pill], he has reached the ninth level of the Awakening Veins Realm.

Ding Chen then used all his strength to cast the Thirteen Soul-Controlling Needles, piercing through Xiao Zhenxiong's Xuan Gang and body, reaching his brain and soul!

"He's in no condition to carry out my plan."

"It seems that I need to spend more time and soul power to improve the control effect of the 'Thirteen Soul Control Needles' on this guy..."

Ding Chen does what he says.

His ten fingers flew, and his fingertips kept emitting strands of profound energy. He continued to use silver needles to prick the acupoints of Xiao Zhenxiong who was a few steps away.

"Pfft! Pfft! Pfft! Pfft!"

The streaks of light are like dancing butterflies, dazzling the eyes.

You know, the smaller the object, the more difficult it is to accurately control the force of "telephotography".

Even cultivators at the second or third level of the Condensation Spirit Realm, whose techniques of remotely controlling flying needles and piercing acupuncture points in mid-air may not be as sharp as his!

But at this moment, Ding Chen, relying on his extremely exquisite control over his own profound energy, made great use of the technique of "remote capture of objects" that can only be performed by warriors above the seventh level of the Awakening Veins Realm.

While Ding Chen was giving acupuncture, he muttered to himself: "At this rate, I will be able to achieve the effect I want in half an hour at most..."

at the same time.

Surrounded by the Lu family, the Zhou family, and the soldiers of the City Lord's Mansion led by Xiao Da, the Luo Mansion was like a stagnant pool of water.

Everyone in the mansion looked dejected, like eggplants hit by frost.

Think back a few days ago.

Luo Qinru's master, Nangong Qiuyu, who is the vice-president of the Imperial Capital Academy, came to visit her in person, but he did not go to the City Lord's Mansion to rescue Ding Chen because of Luo Qinru's plea.

Instead, she brought up the fact that she had previously lent Luo Qinru a "superior spiritual grade" healing pill, and demanded that Luo Qinru fulfill her promise and return to the Imperial Capital Academy with her.

With Luo Qinru's repeated insistence...

Even under the threat of death, Nangong Qiuyu finally agreed to save people reluctantly.

But there is a prerequisite for her to save people, which is that she requires Luo Qinru to go to the Imperial Capital Academy and obey her master's orders to practice, and not be distracted by anything like the Luo family or Ding Chen!

After Luo Qinru agreed, Nangong Qiuyu asked her to pack up her belongings and say a final goodbye to her family.

The master himself took this opportunity to go to the City Lord's Mansion to discuss the release of Ding Chen with Xiao Zhenxiong.

Half an hour later, Nangong Qiuyu returned alone.

She told Luo Haoyuan and Luo Qinru that she had already greeted Xiao Zhenxiong.

The other party said that they would first perform some "investigation and evidence collection" and show it to the other two major families and the people in the city, and then they would release the person.

By then, even the innocence of the Luo family will be made public.

Luo Qinru finally felt relieved and followed Nangong Qiuyu to the Imperial Capital Academy...

Time goes back to the present.

At dawn, the eastern sky was just beginning to show a hint of paleness.

Most people in the Luo Mansion were no longer sleepy.

They got up in a hurry and gathered spontaneously in the yard, looking worried.

This is because, as long as their future son-in-law is not released, the huge rock pressing on their hearts will never go away!

"When the son-in-law is released, if he learns that the young lady has been forcibly taken away by her master, he will definitely be sad, right?"

"Oh, there's nothing we can do about it."

"After all, apart from the eldest lady's master, no one can save the son-in-law, let alone our Luo family!"

"Forget it, everyone, just let's take it easy!"

"Miss, you are going to the Imperial Capital Academy. It's not like you will never come back."

"Didn't the eldest lady swear an oath in front of the ancestral tablets in the ancestral temple?"

"In two years... at most three years, when the young lady turns twenty, she will come back to fulfill the engagement, marry Ding Chen, and become the real son-in-law of our Luo family!"

"Ah."

"But speaking of which, the eldest lady's master has already left Tieyan City for several days. Why hasn't the City Lord's Mansion released him yet?"

"The guys who besieged us never retreated."

"I hope nothing unexpected will happen..."

At this moment——

"Whoosh!"

"puff!"

A middle-aged woman who had just walked out of the house was pierced through the heart by an arrow shot from nowhere.

The powerful impact, with her slightly plump body, slammed into the door.

"Whoosh!"

"puff!"

Immediately afterwards, a little girl of only seven or eight years old was squatting by a small pond gargling when she was suddenly pierced through the throat by an arrow.

Poor little girl, she didn't even let out a scream, she fell in a pool of blood with a look of horror and despair...

"What, what's wrong?"

The unusual movements around immediately attracted a lot of attention.

However, before they could figure out what was going on.

From all directions of Luo Mansion, crossbow arrows were fired again as dense as raindrops.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

“Puff, puff, puff, puff…”

"Uh!"

"what!"

Caught off guard, half of the clansmen gathered in the courtyard died in this silent sneak attack.

There were also many flaming arrows that shot directly into the house through the paper-covered windows, instantly igniting the bedding, clothes and other items.

The fire quickly spread from one point to another and then exploded with a loud bang!

"Enemy, enemy attack?"

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!!"

The loud howls echoed throughout the Luo Mansion and seemed to tear through the night sky.

At daybreak, dawn has arrived!

But this is a dawn filled with blood and hidden murderous intent...

Fortunately, for nearly a month, the Luo Mansion has been under siege, so most of the tribesmen have been sleeping in their clothes and are ready for battle at any time.

Otherwise, the number of people who died in this wave of sneak attacks would increase several times!

"The higher-ups have issued an order that the Luo family should be executed for collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country!"

"The heroes of the Zhou and Lu families, together with the soldiers of the city lord's mansion, massacred the Luo Mansion, leaving no one alive!"

As the shouts rang out, dark shadows rushed into the courtyard...
