Unrivaled Miracle Doctor: The God-Defying Demonic Consort

Chapter 371: Chapter 371: The Elder Is So Eerie (2)

The wind suddenly picked up.

Gust after gust carried the dried leaves and fine dust, whirling wildly in mid-air. It blinded people’s eyes and blurred their vision.

”Cough, cough, cough, where did this damned wind come from? It filled my mouth with dust!”

”Shh, keep your voice down, don’t startle the prey.”

Among those hidden outside the Wei Mansion Villa, someone expressed dissatisfaction with the wind. Yet there was also a warning given in secret.

At this time, it was the darkest part of the night, the time when human energy was the most depleted, and when drowsiness was easiest to hit.

Almost all the forces lying in ambush outside had reached the peak of exhaustion. Bound by orders, they had no choice but to stay alert and carry out their tasks.

This wind, mixed with leaves and dust, finally became the flashpoint, igniting their internal discontent.

”What are we afraid of? We’ve been standing guard all night without seeing a ghost. For all we know, they’re sleeping soundly inside while we stand guard like fools here.”

Complaints rose faintly from different forces.

”Actually, if I were them, I wouldn’t try to escape tonight either. I’d watch the situation for a couple of days first before choosing a good time to flee Zhi City.” Someone analyzed with much experience.

Gradually, the initially well-disciplined surveillance began to slack off.

Suddenly, over twenty black shadows flew out from the Wei Mansion Villa, leaping into the night, each escaping in a different direction as if by tacit understanding.

The appearance of these shadows immediately snapped the lax people to attention, who then dashed from their hiding places.

In an instant, people from all major forces were exposed to each other’s eyes, gone were the previous veils of secrecy, the semblances of reality and illusion.

People from different forces exchanged wary and alert glances.

”Not good! The fish are escaping!”

At the moment the shadows vanished, someone broke the silence.

Finally, this sentence awakened the people of all factions.

”Chase!” one group shouted, quickly pursuing the direction where a black-clothed figure disappeared.

Under their lead, people from other forces also quickly chose a target and set off in pursuit, while simultaneously reporting the situation back to their bases.

In an instant, only one force was left standing still at the entrance of the Wei Mansion Villa.

This group belonged to Zhu Li, under the command of Young Master Zhu.

They were ordered to lie in wait here to capture Mu Qingge, to satisfy their young master’s grudge. Now, the other forces had been drawn away by the fleeing occupants of the Wei Mansion, yet they remained motionless.

”Captain, what should we do?” someone stepped forward to ask.

The leader sneered with confidence: ”It’s merely a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain, how could I fall for it? I can bet the person the young master wants is still hiding in the mansion.”

His analysis garnered immediate flattery from his subordinates.

However, he did not know that the courtyard within the Wei Mansion Villa where Mu Qingge temporarily stayed had already been emptied long ago, so quiet as if no one had ever lived there.

In another courtyard, candle flames flickered, and the orange candlelight enveloped the people inside the room.

Wei Qi and Wei Guanguan were tied with thick ropes, secured to chairs, and guarding them in the room was Uncle Zhou.

”Mmm, mmm...” Wei Guanguan glared at Uncle Zhou, struggling, with her mouth stuffed with cloth, could only make muffled sounds.

Wei Qi was not much better off. However, he didn’t waste his energy struggling futilely like Wei Guanguan, instead, he was glaring at Uncle Zhou, accusing him with his eyes.

Uncle Zhou gave a bitter smile inwardly, sighing and thinking to himself: Mu Qingge decided to leave suddenly, leaving him to play the villain.
