Chapter 734
Several figures in black robes were instantly enraged by the woman's scolding.
One of the black-robed figures stepped forward and grabbed the woman's hair tightly, causing her to cry out in pain immediately.
Yet that black-robed figure wore a smile on his face. "You were quite vocal before, let's see if you can still make a sound when you reach the church!"
The moment the words fell, that black-robed figure simply dragged the woman by her hair, pulling her forward.
The further they walked forward, the more the woman's initial cursing faded, replaced by humble pleas and weeping.
"Please, I have children at home. I... I cannot go."
When the black-robed figures heard this, they laughed as if hearing a joke.
"Children? Why not go back and bring your children to show us?"
Upon hearing the other demand her child, the woman instantly panicked. "No, no, no, I don't, I don't have any children!"
666. He still intervened.
666. He still intervened (1)
Seeing the woman's state, the black-robed figures became even more interested; one of them turned to his companion beside him and said something unknown.
The next second, a black-robed figure nearby reached out, intending to turn the woman around.
Suddenly, his hand was grabbed violently.
With a crack, the black-robed figure's hand instantly snapped off.
"Ah!"
The black-robed figure screamed, his face twisted.
Ning Chen, watching the black-robed figure's state, calmly released his hand, then shoved his hands into his pockets and kicked the black-robed figure's abdomen with force.
"Ah!"
To an outsider, this kick looked merely painful, but only the black-robed figure and Ning Chen knew the truth.
With such a kick, the black-robed figure's skeleton was about to shatter!
Immediately, the black-robed figure's companion, seeing this situation, instantly rushed forward to grab Ning Chen's hat.
Ning Chen glanced slightly, turned around, quickly raised his foot, and kicked the man's chest again.
"Pfft!"
This black-robed figure was no better off; after taking such a kick, his lungs instantly felt as if they were about to explode!
The other two black-robed figures still standing looked at Ning Chen, and none dared to take a single step forward.
Ning Chen looked at the woman and formed the words 'run quickly' with his mouth.
The woman's eyes instantly filled with emotion; she stumbled to her feet and quickly ran in the direction of her home.
"Who are you! Do you not fear Ye Lisi's punishment?"
The standing black-robed figure pointed at Ning Chen, speaking with trembling voice.
Yet Ning Chen did not pay any attention to his words; instead, he calmly watched the woman leave, then prepared to depart as well.
He had already intervened in one matter; if this matter drew Ye Lisi's attention, he feared his plans would be ruined.
Just as he was about to turn and leave, suddenly he felt a thick killing intent from behind!
Ning Chen turned quickly, seeing the black-robed figure right before him; just as he was preparing to kick the man away, the system's warning voice suddenly rang out.
"Ding, a warning: Ye Lisi is already on the way. If you kick him away, you will likely invite trouble."
Tsk.
Ning Chen frowned impatiently, quickly withdrew his foot in time, and swiftly turned his body aside; instantly, the black-robed figure lunged into empty air.
He paid no attention to the black-robed figure's subsequent actions; quickly, he activated his skill and walked rapidly forward.
The black-robed figure was preparing to stand up and continue teaching Ning Chen a lesson, but the moment he stood, he discovered Ning Chen was already gone.
"Damn traitor, actually running away like this!"
The black-robed figure cursed and grumbled.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared behind him.
Ye Lisi, his eyes bloodshot, patted his shoulder; he was instantly startled and turned around.
"Ye, Ye Lisi, my lord."
The black-robed figure, upon seeing Ye Lisi's scarlet eyes for just an instant, quickly lowered his head.
Was this the Ye Lisi he knew?
This Ye Lisi seemed as if he were about to go mad.
Ye Lisi asked in a hoarse, calm voice, "Where is Ning Chen?"
As he spoke, the grip of Ye Lisi's hand on his shoulder grew stronger; the black-robed figure gradually felt pain, yet still answered with difficulty.
"He! He, Ye Lisi, my lord! I have not seen him!"
As the words fell, Ye Lisi suddenly released his hand from the man's shoulder, leaned close to the man's clothes, and sniffed.
When he raised his head again, Ye Lisi spoke.
"Haven't seen him? You carry his scent on you."
Hearing these words, the black-robed figure instantly panicked.
A madman.
The Ye Lisi, my lord, standing before him was now no different from a madman!
Thinking this, the black-robed figure retreated a few steps backward in fear.
Suddenly.
Ye Lisi pinched the space between his eyebrows in pain; when he opened his eyes again, the scarlet red in his pupils instantly vanished.
He looked at the believer before him with a smile on his face.
"If you see Ning Chen, remember to report to me immediately."
Having spoken, Ye Lisi departed with the people behind him.
Watching Ye Lisi's departing figure, the black-robed man's legs went weak, and he collapsed directly onto the ground.
"Do you think the person just now was truly my lord Ye Lisi?"
Just as a companion nearby came to support him, he asked fearfully.
The black-robed man supporting him spoke with a confused expression.
"What are you saying? How can I not understand your words?"
Hearing this, that black-robed man was instantly shocked; he fearfully broke free from his companion's hand, painfully clutched his head, and crouched down.
"Ah!!"
For a moment, that black-robed man emitted a sound of pain.
Not a few seconds later, that person made no more sound and fell to the ground with a thud.
"Hey! Hey!"
The companion worriedly pushed his body but received no response, slowly reaching toward his nose.
Suddenly, the companion's eyes widened sharply; he propped his hands on the ground and frantically retreated a few steps backward!
Meanwhile, on Ning Chen's side, he kept running forward.
His current destination was Ye Lisi's headquarters; he needed to go to Ye Lisi's headquarters once more to confirm whether that girl was there.
Just as he stood behind a tree not far from Ye Lisi's headquarters, the system's mechanical voice suddenly rang out again.
"Warning, potential mission countdown begins: twenty-four hours!"
"Twenty-four hours?"
Ning Chen could not help but voice his confusion.
The system replied, "It has been detected that the girl has encountered danger. If you do not take her out of danger within twenty-four hours, or do not save her before she dies, then this potential mission will be directly judged as failed."
Hearing the system's words, Ning Chen said nothing.
He no longer wanted to argue with the system; he could not win the argument, nor did he wish to speak.
Looking at the tall Ye Lisi headquarters before him.
If the girl truly was not inside, then he would be in trouble.
Ning Chen tugged at his hat and slowly walked forward.
After the incident last time, Ye Lisi's headquarters had become extremely strict.
Even at the entrance, more than a dozen black-robed men were constantly pacing back and forth.
