Chapter 1310 I can go after them
Lei Zhen was puzzled.
But I followed them anyway.
Before leaving, Ning Ruan didn't forget to put the pile of fragrant food back into her storage ring.
Then, holding a flatbread filled with meat filling, he ate it while flying on his sword.
By the time they landed at the city lord's mansion in Jiaocheng, they had just finished eating the flatbread.
She casually took out another spirit fruit and continued eating.
The moment Ning Ruan approached, the city lord of Jiaocheng sensed her presence.
However, due to his serious injuries, he simply didn't have the energy to deal with the situation.
We can only send someone over.
To everyone's surprise, Ning Ruan came looking for them shortly after they were sent out.
"I heard the city lord is injured? If you're injured, come find me, I have medicine."
A girl's clear voice rang out from outside the palace gate.
"..."
Since the people have come knocking on his door, Long Jun has no choice but to see them, even if he doesn't want to.
As soon as Ning Ruan entered, she saw the city lord of Jiaocheng lying half-reclined on the jade bed, his face still pale.
"Ahem... What brings you here, young Daoist Ning?"
Long Jun leaned against the jade bed, barely managing to maintain a semblance of the city lord's dignity, his voice revealing the weakness of his injury, "My injury is nothing serious, it's already seven or eight parts healed."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Ruan took two steps forward, tilted her head, and examined the wound on his chest that was covered by spiritual light, yet still exuded a terrifying death aura.
"It doesn't look like it." Ning Ruan took a bite of the spirit fruit and said indistinctly, "This injury, with death energy entering the body, it won't heal for at least a year or two, right? I can smell the strong odor."
"..."
It's that smell again...
These words inevitably reminded him of another disgusting thing.
Long Jun's face paled even more instantly, whether from anger or injury, it was hard to tell.
Long Jun forcibly suppressed the metallic taste rising in his throat, maintaining his tone with difficulty: "What brings you here, young Daoist Ning? Please speak plainly."
"Oh." Ning Ruan nodded, swallowed the last bite of fruit, and then slowly said, "I came because I heard you captured a member of the Dark Phoenix Clan?"
"…So what?"
Long Jun's golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and he almost squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth.
“I want to see him,” Ning Ruan said matter-of-factly.
"Ah."
Long Jun was so angry he laughed.
The laughter aggravated his wound, causing him to cough violently again.
"What Fellow Daoist Ning said is rather laughable."
He was panting, his gaze fixed on Ning Ruan:
“Back then, when we asked Fellow Daoist Ning to cooperate with us, you made all sorts of excuses.”
"Now that we've captured them, do you want to see them?"
"There's no such thing as a free lunch."
“The city lord is mistaken.” Ning Ruan’s smile remained unchanged, but her eyes were calm and undisturbed. “If I had really gone, I probably wouldn’t be standing here talking to you right now.”
She paused, her eyes narrowing slightly: "I guess I won't be able to come back, will I?"
"..."
Long Jun's lips moved a few times, but he finally asked in a deep voice:
"What exactly do you want to do?"
“I said I want to see that Nether Phoenix Clan,” Ning Ruan repeated.
"Impossible!" Long Jun refused without hesitation: "This fiend was captured by us. It's a matter of great importance. How can you just let me see him whenever you want?"
"Oh? You can't stand it?" Ning Ruan raised an eyebrow and looked at him. "Have you gotten any results from the interrogation?"
"..."
The city lord of Illusionary Eyes was speechless.
The talent was only recently captured, how could they be interrogated so quickly?
"It seems there isn't any more." Ning Ruan asked with a smile, "How long can you find out at the fastest? One day? Three days? Or half a month?"
"By the time you find out, his accomplices will probably have already fled far away, right?"
Long Jun: "..."
With each additional word Ning Ruan spoke, his expression grew even more somber.
Yet, they were unable to refute it.
Because what Ning Ruan said was true.
Even if the city lord of Illusion Eyes City were to personally intervene, it would be difficult to extract any information from him in a short time.
It can even search the souls of others.
However, the Nether Phoenix Clan is also extremely skilled in mental power because they need to control the corpse puppets.
It would be extremely difficult to forcibly use the soul-searching technique on him.
If they're not careful, even this sole prisoner could lose his life.
"Do you have a solution?" Long Jun asked in a hoarse voice.
Ning Ruan nodded without hesitation: "Of course."
“I not only have a solution, but I can also get him to talk right away.”
"When the time comes, I will personally go and find the whereabouts of the other two members of the Dark Phoenix Clan."
"You...you're going to chase after them yourself?" Long Jun finally showed a look of surprise. "Why? Didn't you absolutely refuse to go before?"
They wouldn't even go to be bait, but now they're willing to go?
Ning Ruan said, "I wasn't willing before, but I am now. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Long Jun: "..."
"...Okay, but the person isn't in my hands right now. I need to tell them first."
"Then you say it." Ning Ruan nodded, showing no intention of leaving. "Hurry up, or they might really get away."
Long Jun: "..."
He forced himself to sit up straight, took out an ancient-looking communication jade talisman, and activated it.
Soon, the jade talisman flashed, and the figures of the other seven city lords, some visible and some hidden, appeared one after another in the hall through projection.
"Long Jun, what is it?" The city lord of Zijin City spoke first, his tone somewhat impatient. "I am currently healing my injuries. If there is nothing urgent..."
“Ning Ruan is here,” Long Jun interrupted him, his words concise and to the point.
The hall fell silent instantly.
Seven pairs of eyes turned to the girl standing in front of Long Junyu's bed, who was looking at their projection with great interest.
"Ning Ruan?" The Shadow City Lord's face instantly darkened, and the shadows around him seemed to surge. "What are you doing here? To watch us make a fool of ourselves?"
"No," Ning Ruan shook her head, looking completely innocent. "I came to help."
"She really did come to help." Fearing that the group would start arguing again, and that this was not the time to watch the show, Long Jun could only explain Ning Ruan's purpose first.
"That's about it. I think it wouldn't hurt to let her see it. What do you guys think?"
The city lord of Illusionary Eyes stared at Ning Ruan: "Tell me, you can make him confess everything right now?"
Ning Ruan said, "Okay, but before that, you have to knock him out first. Is that alright?"
"...Is it really that simple?" The city lord of Illusionary Eyes frowned, clearly showing disbelief.
Ning Ruan said confidently, "It's that simple."
"..."
After a moment of silence, the city lord of Illusionary Eyes City was the first to relent, "Then wait a moment, I'll be there soon."
After saying that, he added, "I will bring that person with me as well."
The moment the sound faded, the projection disappeared from view.
Before the cinema lord could say anything more, Long Jun had already cut off the call.
He looked at Ning Ruan and coughed twice. "The opinions of the other guys are not important, since they are in Illusionary Eye City anyway."
