Chapter 405: Then I'll Help You

Ou Liechen was stunned, though not because Yu Lian had discovered the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron, but because of Yu Lian's reaction.

"Goodness, Yu Lian, I've known you for so long, and this is the first time I've heard you say such a long sentence."

"Shut up, prepare to cover me," Yu Lian said coldly.

"Understood."

Ou Liechen's expression also turned serious; as long as Yu Lian seized the cauldron, it would definitely alert the entire Fusang Pavilion.

Fortunately, Ye Lin had already successfully disguised himself as a Starry Sky Realm guard of the Sang Kingdom and was stationed at the main gate of the Fusang Pavilion.

Later, as long as Yu Lian brought the cauldron and rushed straight toward the gate, it would be done; Ye Lin would open the door, and the two of them could leave directly.

This was very "opening the door."

Once they successfully left the Fusang Pavilion, it would be time for him, this Realm Weaver, to show his skills.

Ou Liechen quickly sorted out the entire plan and shared it with Ye Lin and Yu Lian.

Yu Lian and Ye Lin expressed their approval, and then Yu Lian began to act.

She moved toward the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron silently, as if she had no weight.

After confirming that this was indeed the Nine-Star Divine Artifact of the Great Xia, Yu Lian took a deep breath.

She knew very well that the moment she moved the cauldron, every job-changer in the entire Fusang Pavilion would be alerted and would begin to hunt her down.

After obtaining the Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron, she had to flee toward the main gate of the Fusang Pavilion at the fastest possible speed.

Just as Yu Lian was about to move to seize the cauldron, a chuckling voice sounded behind her, making goosebumps rise all over her body at that moment!

"Hehe, little girl, what are you doing here all by yourself so late?"

Yu Lian did not hesitate in the slightest, and the sharp blade in her hand slashed directly toward the rear!

But at this moment, a scene that terrified Yu Lian appeared: her full-force strike was actually pinched by two shriveled fingers belonging to an old woman who looked incredibly aged.

Yu Lian was not good at direct combat, and she knew clearly that she definitely could not win against this old woman.

Yu Lian's heart tightened, but she did not panic; if she couldn't win, she could only find a way to escape!

Running away was a skill that a qualified assassin must master; those who couldn't run away weren't called assassins, they were called dead soldiers.

Yu Lian directly merged into the shadows, wanting to flee.

Seeing this, the old woman let out a cackling laugh.

"Playing these tricks in front of me, Granny Shenshan?"

She raised her withered fingers, and a net of light shot out from her hand, instantly binding Yu Lian, who was hiding in the shadows.

"Blazing Sun Realm!"

Yu Lian's face turned pale, and then she cut off all the communication devices on her body without hesitation.

She knew very well that she could no longer escape; all she could do now was cover for Ou Liechen and the others.

The moment the communication devices were cut off, Ou Liechen and the others noticed it immediately.

"Something happened to Yu Lian!"

Ou Liechen's expression was extremely ugly; he took a deep breath and said in a low voice.

"Ye Lin, leave the Fusang Pavilion immediately, we're leaving!"

It was clearly wishful thinking for just the few of them to try to rescue Yu Lian; retreating now was the most rational choice.

"Perhaps I can rescue Yu Lian."

Ye Lin's voice came from the communication device, and Ou Liechen's expression changed wildly.

"Ye Lin! Don't let your emotions dictate your actions, get out, that's an order!"

But there was already no response from Ye Lin in the communication device.

Inside the Fusang Pavilion, alarm bells rang loudly, lights blazed, and the job-changers were instantly alerted, rushing toward the direction where Yu Lian was.

Clatter!

The crowd knelt down one after another like surging waves.

"Granny Shenshan, it was our negligence that allowed an assassin to sneak in, please punish us!"

"Take her down; within 24 hours, make her open her mouth and tell everything she knows," Granny Shenshan said, kicking Yu Lian over.

"Understood!"

Sharp, piercing gazes gathered on the slender figure that was bound.

What Yu Lian would face next would inevitably be inhumane torture.

Facing the wolf-like and tiger-like gazes, Yu Lian's face remained indifferent.

She only regretted that she hadn't committed suicide the moment she could.

If she had to blame someone, she could only blame herself for being too careless; she should have thought of it earlier.

The Bronze Dragon Vein Cauldron was the only Nine-Star Divine Artifact of the Sang Kingdom; how could such a treasure be left unguarded?

With a pain in her scalp, Yu Lian felt someone pulling her hair and dragging her away.

"Stinking wench, you dare to sneak into the Fusang Pavilion? I'll dig out your gallbladder later to see just how big your guts really are!"

She was taken into a dark dungeon; as soon as she entered, she smelled a thick, foul stench of blood.

It was obvious that many people had died in this dungeon.

"Another newcomer?" A dwarf only about 1.3 meters tall stood up.

With bulging eyeballs, a fleshy nose, and thick lips, the whole person looked incredibly ugly.

"An assassin who snuck into the Fusang Pavilion; Granny Shenshan said that within 24 hours, we must make her tell everything she knows."

A Sang Kingdom person threw Yu Lian over.

"Hehehe, don't worry, as long as they're human, it's impossible for anyone to last more than 24 hours here."

The dwarf man stared greedily at Yu Lian; he slowly lowered his head, forcefully pried open Yu Lian's eyelids, and licked toward her eyeballs.

Although she had long been prepared to endure all kinds of torture, seeing that the dwarf man was actually this perverted, Yu Lian's face still turned visibly pale.

Yet she had no way to resist at all, her body completely tensed up.

That disgusting feeling made goosebumps rise all over her body at this moment.

"Tsk tsk, a beauty's eyeballs taste really good; I wonder if they'll be just as delicious when chewed?"

The dwarf man licked his lips in satisfaction.

"Don't worry, little beauty, we have 24 hours to play slowly."

The dwarf man took two iron hooks as thick as a forearm from a wooden rack, wanting to first pierce Yu Lian's shoulder blades to hang her up.

Just as he was about to act, the movement of his hands suddenly paused.

"Lord Tianxin, why have you come?"

A tall man appeared in front of the dwarf man; the aura radiating from this man was clearly that of the Starry Sky Realm!

"I am responsible for guarding the main gate; this woman slipped past my nose, which is a great humiliation to me. I must let this woman taste my power!"

As Tianxin spoke, he had already taken off his samurai uniform, revealing the Longinus spear underneath.

The dwarf man looked on with a hint of envy, then cupped his hands.

"Hehe, I understand. Then this humble one will wait at the door; Granny Shenshan only gave this humble one 24 hours, so I hope you won't make it difficult for me, my lord."

"Don't worry, I'll be done in an hour," Tianxin said impatiently, waving his hand.

The dwarf man hurriedly retreated, leaving only Tianxin and Yu Lian in the dungeon.

"What are you here for? I don't need you to save me, leave quickly!" Yu Lian said in a low voice.

Yu Lian certainly knew that the Tianxin in front of her was disguised by Ye Lin, because the real Tianxin had already died at her hands.

"Stop talking nonsense, scream!" Ye Lin said.

"Scream... scream what?" Yu Lian was stunned.

"In bed! The louder the better; scream and curse at me while you're at it. That dwarf is right at the door, and if there's no sound at all, he'll definitely be suspicious," Ye Lin urged.

"I... I don't know how..."

Yu Lian was at a loss; she had learned nothing but killing techniques since she was a child. She knew how to kill, but how would she know how to "create life"?

"Then I'll help you!"
