163 Slipping away. (1/2)
Li Yang turned around and looked at the people bowing to him with cupped hands, hoping that he would join their organizations. But Li Yang only gave these people a quick glance before raising his head and locking eyes with Fang Ying and Zhao Feng, silently mouthing a few words to them. Zhao Feng rolled his eyes in exasperation in response but still stood up, Fang Ying giving the wolf at her side, Langshen, a few pats on the head while whispering to him.
Langshen lazily stood up from his resting position and gave his body a few shakes before letting out a subdued howl. The howl caused space around Fang Ying and Zhao Feng to ripple, both of them vanishing from the top of the wall and appearing at Li Yang's side. Li Yang somewhat lazily stretched his waist when the two arrived, nonchalantly speaking and eliciting a swift retort from Zhao Feng.
”I'll leave the rest to you, I'm really not suited to that kind of work.”

”Yeah yeah, you don't have to tell us, we're used to having to fish us out of the deep shit you keep tossing us into. Just hand over the core before I smack you.”
Li Yang grinned and shrugged his shoulders while taking a step back, simultaneously integrating both Zhao Feng and Fang Ying into the array that he had drawn up using Jinwu and Shenlong. The two took over the spots of the Divine Beasts that had retreated, enabling them to draw upon the energy of the others connected to the array. They pooled their energies together and drew upon the remainders of Li Yang's energy, working together to create a large cloud of pink mist that rapidly spread out to cover the entire area.
Every living being in the area ended up breathing in the pink mist, their eyes quickly glazing over as their bodies turned somewhat limp. An invisible ripple extended out from Zhao Feng's body after the surrounding people turned limp and listless, piercing through everyone in the area and stabbing directly into their souls.
The cloud of poison worked together with Zhao Feng's law of the soul, replicating what the two had done back when Li Yang and the others finished interrogating the first group they encountered in the ruins. The memories of everyone present became blurry, the features of Li Yang and the others, as well as the appearances of Jinwu and Shenlong, becoming indistinct and unrecognizable. In the end, the only thing that remained in their minds was the black hole that Li Yang had called forth, it was as if it had seared itself into their very being and erased everything else.
Li Yang was arrogant and had been acting unrestrainedly while fighting, but that didn't mean that he had abandoned all concern and thought for the future. These people right here were nothing, but the other members of their sects, especially the sect leaders and elders, were a completely different story. Li Yang had no interest in those people coming for his Jinwu or Shenlong, so the best option was to turn the memories of these people blurry and focus them on something that was a lot harder to pin down and realize the nature of.
In the end, everyone present ended up being somewhat listless and dumb after having suffered the poison and soul attack, but Li Yang still decided that it would be better to add another layer of defense just in case. He walked up to the woman from the Earth Rendering Empire that had cupped her hands and bowed, Gang Lingqi.
”Alright, I, Song Lingzhi, will join your Earth Rendering Empire, send the message and let's leave immediately.”
Li Yang was arrogant and could even be called reckless, but there were a few things that he would not risk in the slightest, and the lives of his friends and wife were at the very top of this list. As such, he didn't place all his hopes on the poison and soul attack, adding another layer on top of it by fooling everyone present.
The woman seemingly snapped out of her daze, hurriedly nodding her head and pulling back her sleeve to reveal a vine-shaped jade construct coiling around her wrist. It lit up with a brown light when she put in some Qi and spoke a quick report of the situation into it, her words confident and sure but her memories so indistinct that she was unable to add most of the situation into the report.
