Chapter 116 - Invasion of a Team (2/2)
“I haven’t!” Shen Ying raised her hand slowly.
The leader paused and turned to glare at her. He pushed the map nearer to her face and said impatiently, “You can’t even remember this? Hurry up and memorise it! Who even brought you on this mission?”
“You did!” She looked down at the black robe on her body. He was the one who had pulled her along with him when they were at the gate.
The man hesitated and scanned her from head to toe. He was trying to recall where he had met this person before, but he could not remember. Brushing the matter aside, he pointed to a spot on the map and said, “Hey, you will enter from here later on. The person we’re looking for should be in the courtyard. Do not go into the main house. None of us Earth Immortals will be able to handle the people in there.”
“Oh…” she nodded. And then?
“Remember not to alert anyone else,” he continued. “Once you find the person, retreat. Everyone will meet again in the black forest outside of the city. Someone will receive us.”
“Yes!” Everyone responded in hushed tones.
The leader glanced at the quickly darkening sky and said, “It’s time!” He conjured a seal with his two hands. Within seconds, a transportation array appeared below their feet.
In a blink of an eye, they found themselves in a courtyard. The leader distributed immortal talismans and explained, “This will help to hide your aura. As long as you have this, the Stygian Immortals will not be able to spot you. Let’s set out!”
They all nodded and hid around the courtyard.
The intruder, Shen Ying: “…” Who exactly are we looking for? Should I clarify this with them first?
She looked around her and chose a random direction to set off in. Just as she started to walk, she was pulled back by someone.
“Wait, come back!” The leader was pulling her back and pointing toward his right. “You are supposed to go this way. What’s the matter? Didn’t you study the map several times? Remember not to alert anyone else!”
“Er, actually I’m not- “I’m not one of you, Shen Ying wanted to explain.
The man’s expression changed as he interrupted her, “Someone’s coming! Stick the talisman on yourself and move!” He ran and hid himself from sight
Shen Ying: “…”
She could almost feel Father Niu’s rage!
She looked down at the black robe she was wearing and made a mental note to wear brighter colours the next time she went out so that she would not be mistaken for wearing the uniform of some other criminal organisation.
Of course, something else is more important at the moment – where exactly am I?
Where’s the team? They captured her but didn’t bother to take her along with them?
Shen Ying sighed and turned around to walk out of the arch door on her left. Forget it, I will look for the person myself. She hoped that Father Niu would not cut down her food allowance because of this. From what the person said earlier, she should be fine as long as she didn’t alert…
“Who are you?” Shen Ying heard someone ask just as she walked through the door.
She heard swooshing noises and saw over ten swords formed from Immortal Qi pointing directly at her face.
Shen Ying: “…”
She lifted up the talisman in her hand and stuck it on her chest.
The person: “…”
What’s the point of sticking an Aura-Concealing Talisman on yourself now? Do you think I’m blind?
