Chapter 919: Ji Lier was rescued successfully.
Although the footsteps were very light, they were particularly clear in the quiet environment.
Su Chenyin's heart suddenly tightened and rose to her throat in an instant.
She could feel that Black Devourer also stopped all movements at the same moment, and the atmosphere in the entire dark room became extremely solemn.
The footsteps were getting closer and closer, and every step seemed to be stepping on Su Chenyin's heart.
Not the rhythm of a routine patrol, but footsteps with a clear purpose.
When Su Chenyin heard the voice, his spiritual consciousness immediately left the dark room and attached itself to a spiritual herb outside the dark room.
She instantly "saw" who the person was. It turned out to be a patrol guard captain of the Ximen family.
The captain of the guard seemed to have noticed something strange in the dark room and slowly approached it.
Su Chenyin prayed silently in his heart, hoping that Hei Shi could escape this disaster safely.
In the dark room, Black Devour's shadowy body was stretched to the limit.
The captain of the guard's footsteps had reached the door, accompanied by the metallic friction sound of the key being inserted into the lock.
"It's almost too late..." Black Shi made the decision at the critical moment.
Hei Shi quickly put the real Ji Lier into the space storage talisman.
He quickly placed the puppet activated by the puppet restoration talisman on the bed and adjusted its position to make sure everything looked flawless.
After doing all this, it checked every detail again——
The puppet's breathing frequency, fluctuations in spiritual power, and even the location of the scars on its wrists were all exactly the same as Ji Lier herself.
Then, the Black Devourer quickly hid in the corner, as if it had never existed.
Its body turned into an almost invisible mist, blending perfectly with the surrounding darkness, and even its breath was completely restrained.
"Squeak--" The heavy stone door was pushed open, and the guards appeared at the door.
After the captain of the guard stepped into the dark room, he looked around every corner of the dark room vigilantly.
Black Devour held his breath and concentrated, reducing his own presence to the minimum.
It noticed that the captain of the guard kept his right hand on the hilt of the sword, and his left hand was holding a glowing compass - a magical tool specifically used to detect stealth techniques.
"Strange. I clearly sensed a slight abnormal fluctuation of spiritual energy." The captain of the guard frowned and whispered.
His eyes fell on "Ji Li'er", only to see her lying lifelessly on the ground, motionless, like a doll that had lost its life.
The captain of the guard frowned slightly, a hint of doubt rising in his heart.
He slowly approached "Ji Lier", carefully observed her condition, and checked the chains and restrictions.
However, after some inspection, he did not find anything unusual.
Just as he was about to turn around and leave, an inexplicable chill suddenly came from all directions, like an icy torrent that instantly submerged him.
The chill was so strong that it seemed to penetrate one's bones, making one shiver all over.
The captain of the guard's body trembled violently and he immediately became alert.
He looked around, trying to figure out the source of the chill.
But the darkness around was like a huge monster, swallowing up everything and making it impossible to see clearly.
He couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself, "Strange, why is there such a strong chill here? Am I overthinking? Or am I too tired recently, causing me to have hallucinations?"
His voice echoed in the silent dark room, but received no response. Only the chill followed him like a shadow, tightly wrapping around him.
His eyes scanned every dark corner suspiciously, and finally stopped at the place where Black Devourer was hiding.
For a moment, Hei Shi was sure that he had been discovered.
The captain of the guard stared at the shadow for a long time, then suddenly raised his hand and cast a detection spell.
The golden light spread out like ripples, sweeping across the entire dark room.
Black Devour felt a sharp pain, but it silently recited a spell in its heart, and the pain disappeared immediately.
"It seems that I've been worrying too much." Ximen Jin finally shook his head, turned and walked towards the door.
Just when Hei Shi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly stopped and turned back!
"Who's there?!" Ximen Jin shouted loudly, the long sword in his hand already three inches out of its sheath.
Every nerve of Hei Shi was stretched to the limit.
At this critical moment, the puppet on the bed suddenly let out a faint groan.
Ximen Jin's attention was immediately drawn to it. He quickly walked to the stone platform and leaned over to check.
"Humph, I thought you could last long." The captain of the guard sneered.
He took out a small bottle from his sleeve, roughly pried open the puppet's mouth and poured in a few drops of black liquid, "Miss Yinshuang hasn't had enough fun yet, you better not die like this."
After confirming that "Ji Lier" was in stable condition, Ximen Jin finally left the dark room.
The sound of the stone door closing was particularly harsh in the silence, but Hei Shi still did not dare to act rashly.
It counted a full three hundred heartbeats, and only after confirming that the captain of the guard had really gone far away did it slowly reveal itself.
Seeing that Hei Shi successfully rescued Ji Lier, Su Chenyin breathed a sigh of relief, and the heavy stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
After confirming that the captain of the guard had gone far away, Hei Shi activated the power of the contract and instantly drilled into Su Chenyin's sleeve.
Seeing this, Su Chenyin immediately put the Black Devourer who had just returned into a storage space talisman.
She also put Bai Shang into the space storage talisman, asking her to take care of Ji Lier. Bai Shang's holy power can also heal Ji Lier.
Although this series of actions was as fast as lightning, it did not escape anyone's eyes.
That is Jun Yijue, who has been silently paying attention to Su Chenyin's every move.
Jun Yijue turned his head slightly, and his gentle gaze fell on Su Chenyin who was leaning on his shoulder.
He raised his right hand and used his slender fingers to stroke the hair on Su Chenyin's forehead as she closed her eyes.
"Is my sister okay?" Su Yi lowered his voice and asked Jun Yijue with a worried look on his face.
Jun Yijue shook his head and replied, "It's okay, Yinyin is just a little tired, she will be fine after a rest. Don't worry."
After hearing Jun Yijue's words, Su Yi felt relieved.
He nodded with relief, but he still couldn't help but miss Ji Lier.
He didn't know how Ji Lier was doing now, whether she was safe, or whether she had encountered any difficulties.
When he thought of this, his heart felt heavy as if it was being pressed down by a huge rock.
In fact, he had wanted to leave here quietly and look for Ji Lier countless times.
However, every time he had this thought, his master would stop him in time and not allow him to act on his own.
At this moment, Elder Bai and Bai Luoying returned to the banquet hall together.
Both of them looked normal, as if they had just gone to the bathroom, there was nothing unusual.
However, there seemed to be a hint of pride and anticipation in Bai Luoying's eyes.
She raised her chin slightly, her eyes fixed on Su Chenyin who was leaning in Jun Yijue's arms, with a hint of ruthlessness flashing in the depths of her eyes.
Humph, Su Chenyin, just wait and see!
It won't be long before you disappear completely from this world.
And this handsome, powerful Jun Yijue can only belong to me, Bai Luoying!
Thinking of this, Bai Luoying couldn't help but feel secretly proud.
The corners of her mouth involuntarily rose slightly, revealing a sinister smile.
Under the bright lights of the banquet hall, this smile looked particularly hideous and terrifying.
Bai Luoying was not aware of this at all, her mind was completely occupied by the impending victory.
She was thinking in her mind that once her mother took action, Su Chenyin would be unable to escape.
By then, Jun Yijue will see her good points and understand that she is the most suitable person for him.
