Chapter 2457: Chapter 2458: Turning Their Own Trick Against Them

Sa Tian smiled indifferently, ”As long as I don’t fail Lord Bai’s trust, I can be at ease.”

Afterwards, Sa Tian went to see Master Puru, but he pulled down his sleeve to cover the injury on the back of his hand.

”Host Master, are you alright?” Sa Tian saw Master Puru was doing well and smiled.

Seeing Sa Tian’s appearance, Master Puru was momentarily stunned, then realized why and said with some emotion, ”Sa Tian, hard work for you!”

Sa Tian was moved, his lips trembling slightly as he said, ”Host Master, it is what I should do, I am also a member of Zhaoti Temple.”

”Good, good, I won’t say thank you. You must be careful outside and protect yourself,” Master Puru sincerely advised, and Sa Tian patiently listened before leaving Master Puru’s room.

The night wind sparked the burn on his arm, making him shiver, and then he smiled bitterly, wondering what he should do with this injury.

If Master Puru knew, he might be too guilt-ridden to sleep, so Sa Tian didn’t want him to see it.

Thinking about this, he sighed and knew he had to find Lord Bai; he didn’t dare to be reckless anymore as his task was unfinished, and he couldn’t die yet.

At this moment, the posthouse was brightly lit, as if hosting some celebration or waiting for someone.

Bai Ruozhu’s lips slightly curled up as she softly said to Jiang Yichun, ”They’re here.”

Jiang Yichun held her shoulder and said coldly, ”Not one should be spared.”

Not far away, Qiu Zhi shivered. Why did he find this couple terrifying? Tang Feng gave him a sympathetic look, thinking, you haven’t seen their children dare to face enemies and even know to poison them; what’s this to you?

Shadows faintly appeared underground, slowly approaching the posthouse, but the anticipated barrier didn’t show up, and they smoothly entered the posthouse.

”What’s going on? Where’s the array?” Bai Ruozhu appeared shocked, shouting at Yuan Licheng.

Yuan Licheng looked equally incredulous, ”How could this be? I clearly set up the array during the day; has someone solved it? No, no, that’s impossible!”

”Prepare to meet the enemy; everyone be careful!” Jiang Yichun was still the calmest, quickly issuing orders.

The ninja leader lurking outside saw the posthouse’s situation and immediately ordered all ninjas to charge in.

At this moment, Bai Ruozhu’s lips curled even higher, a ruthless look in her eyes, daring to touch her friends; they absolutely won’t return!

Then the ninjas charging into the array lost their initial speed, as if hit by some soul-bewitching technique, spinning in place.

”What’s this?” Qiu Zhi asked in confusion, having already pulled out a talisman but was stopped by Tang Feng next to him.

Bai Ruozhu glared at him, ”Can’t you tell it’s a plot, an entrapment?”

”Ah? So the array isn’t broken?” Qiu Zhi exclaimed in delight.

Yuan Licheng was already seated at the array eye, smiling, ”Of course it wasn’t broken. If my array was that easy to break, I’d write my name backwards. They’re now in the illusion array; you all don’t rush to act.”

Bai Ruozhu also began to explain, ”We guessed the opponent suffered from Xiaoyuan’s array last time, so they’d definitely want to tamper this time. Thus, Xiaoyuan pretended to let them think they had broken the array, but the needle eye was already moved and added a more formidable killing array inside.”

Fo Lanying chuckled, ”If we didn’t perform that play, how could they charge into the array so readily?”

Qiu Zhi scratched his head, ”So you all knew, and I was kept in the dark.”

”It’s not like we intentionally kept it from you; if you knew, wouldn’t you inadvertently reveal it? Can you act?” Bai Ruozhu asked.

”Uh... alright, at least I didn’t mess up again.” Qiu Zhi shrunk his neck, afraid he’d made another mistake without realizing it.

Yuan Licheng sat cross-legged at the array eye, with Fo Lanying protecting him from behind. He smiled at everyone, saying, ”Don’t attack them yet due to the illusion array; any attack will wake them from the illusory realm, quickly returning them to normal and on guard, losing our advantage. Their numbers are too great. So let the illusion gradually wear down their spirits, and once they awaken, they’ll enter the killing array, full of hidden dangers, where they’ll likely get injured. Then we can catch them all.”

Gao Zhou nodded, ”Xiaoyuan’s array skills are indeed impressive; we’ll listen to your command.”

Yuan Licheng laughed, ”Command is too bold; I’ll call everyone at the right time. Also, watch out for the Shadow Ninja; I’m worried someone might escape the array.”

About fifteen minutes later, the ninjas spinning on the spot all woke up, and someone shouted, ”We’ve been tricked!”

Unfortunately, realizing it was too late; trying to leave was far from easy.

”Master, look at that person; today he disguised himself as a street flute performer and suddenly blew poisoned needles at us,” Yizi pointed at a middle-aged Fusang man in the array.

”What he’s blowing is called blow darts, many fine needles hidden in the flute, often laced with poison, aimed at assassinating targets unexpectedly,” Bai Ruozhu explained. Having watched some Nihong Country anime in her past life, she knew some types and hidden weapons of ninjas.

”And look at that one, he disguised as a child to ambush us, how shameless,” Yizi pointed at a short ninja, ”though he looked even smaller at the time.”

Bai Ruozhu nodded, ”Bone Shrinking Skill, so Fusang has this trick too.”

She had forbidden Jiang Yichun from using Bone Shrinking Skill anymore as it was too harmful to the body, giving her a poor impression of it.

By this time, the ninjas had entered the killing array, and dark weapons were fired, making Yuan Licheng laugh, ”Let them also taste our Zhongyuan dark arts.”

Suddenly, a shadow swiftly darted toward Yuan Licheng; a Shadow Ninja broke through the array, heading straight for Yuan Licheng at the needle eye!

As killing intent rushed at Yuan Licheng, Fo Lanying stepped forward, glaring fiercely at the shadow before two mechanical puppet beasts appeared to guard him on both sides.

A muffled grunt sounded, the Shadow Ninja’s tongue was cut, unable to speak, clearly wounded.

”Trying to ambush him, without considering passing me first, do Jiuli people think we grow by eating idle rice?” Fo Lanying arrogantly shouted, while Yuan Licheng behind her was particularly excited, as if hearing Fo Lanying say, ”Is my man someone you can attack?”

Jiang Yichun flashed his figure, plunging a sword fiercely into the underground, and a gush of blood sprayed out.
