Chapter 1170: Chapter 1170: Being Besieged
Qin Sisi thought for a mont and said, "Since the Chief Mansion is on Bizhu Island, let’s just head to the largest island directly!"
"Alright." Yun Wang and Jing Jing both agreed with Qin Sisi’s suggestion, and the three of them flew towards the center-most Bizhu Island together.
As their altitude decreased, the scene on Bizhu Island gradually beca clear. Although it appeared small from high above, the island was actually very large in area.
The coastal areas were mostly composed of quiet little fishing villages with not many people, where the majority lived by fishing, and of course, they were ordinary people without mana.
The closer to the center of the island, the taller the buildings beca, and the population also grew denser.
The Zhulu family’s Chief Mansion was located in the central part of Bizhu Island, covering a vast area, comparable to the Chief Mansion of Midair City.
The design of the Zhulu family’s Chief Mansion was very unique. The walls surrounding the entire mansion weren’t made of mud or stone, but rows upon rows of crisp and dense bamboo.
Bamboo stood tall and firm, closely pressed together, airtight and lightproof, and reached straight into the blue sky, not inferior to walls made of earth and stone. Besides being sturdy and secretive, the place exuded a serene elegance.
True to a family symbolized by bamboo, the bamboo nodes must be exposed, which is the origin of the Zhulu family’s na.
The main gate, however, was made of tal, with a blue-green color and flickered with dark bamboo patterns on it.
An ink-green plaque hung above the gate, inscribed in slender gold script with three large characters—Chief Mansion. The handwriting was slender and spirited, the structure relaxed and graceful, exuding a gentlemanly aura.
Qin Sisi raised her head to look at those three characters, hesitating whether to visit directly through the main entrance or to sneak in and observe. Jing Jing, however, was already impatiently stepping forward to knock on the door.
The green gate quickly opened a crack, and a young man of servant-like appearance gazed at Jing Jing with a vigilant expression, asking, "Miss, do you have any business?"
Jing Jing replied politely, "This young man, I am a classmate of Young Master Qingxun, passing through Seven Pearl City on business, and am here for a visit."
The servant seed surprised, looked at Jing Jing a few more tis, then nodded and asked again, "May I know the young lady’s na?"
"My na is Jing Jing, Muyin Jingjing." Jing Jing openly gave her na. The Muyin family and the Zhulu family both belonged to The Eight Great Families; the Zhulu family would never turn away a guest from another great family.
"Please wait a mont, Miss. I’ll go announce your arrival." The servant dropped those words, slamd the door shut with a "bang," and hurriedly ran inside.
Qin Sisi frowned, walked over to Jing Jing, and said, "I feel there’s sothing strange about that servant’s attitude. Could there be a problem?"
Jing Jing hesitated and said, "Probably not. When a distant guest cos visiting, announcing their arrival is normal."
Yun Wang also said, "We didn’t delay at all on the way here; Qingxun should only have arrived a day before us. In just one day, nothing should have changed, right?"
Seeing that both Jing Jing and Yun Wang believed things were normal, Qin Sisi couldn’t say much more, but she still felt an uneasy premonition in her heart.
Just then, the green gate of the Chief Mansion swung open quickly, and two teams of armored guards, wielding weapons, rushed out, surrounding Qin Sisi in the middle.
A burly man strode out of the door, holding an intimidating Wolf Fang Club, glaring angrily at Qin Sisi and the others, and roared thunderously, "Co on, arrest these three traitors for !"
More than a dozen guards attacked simultaneously, holding bilaterally pointed sticks made from the hardest bamboo, and the green magic power suffused the tips, rcilessly striking towards Qin Sisi and her companions.
The sudden change took Qin Sisi and the others by surprise, but they naturally wouldn’t stand by helplessly and imdiately retrieved weapons from their storage rings, unleashing magical power to defend themselves.
The burly man wielding the Wolf Fang Club raised the fearso weapon, with a brownish aura swirling around him. Strong magic power gathered on the Wolf Fang Club, nacingly swung towards Jing Jing.
He heard from the reporting servant that a girl nad Muyin Jingjing ca to find Qingxun. He knew this na—she was the second young lady of the Muyin family.
The Muyin family hadn’t yet clearly shown support for Ye You but had rejected Tian Xiaozi’s overtures several tis. If he captured Muyin Jingjing to pressure the Muyin family, it would surely be a significant achievent before Tian Xiaozi.
Jing Jing had also accumulated quite so experience through wilderness training and was currently at the High-level Magic Spirit level. Seeing the burly man attacking her, she hurriedly used the Wood Attribute defense skill, Giant Wood Shield.
However, the burly man was at the Magic God level, a level higher than Jing Jing. Naturally, his magical power was much stronger. The magic energy propelled by the Wolf Fang Club forcefully broke through Jing Jing’s defense, threatening to hit her directly.
Even the burly man himself believed this attack would hit without fail, and he could severely injure Jing Jing in one move; he even imagined seeing substantial rewards from Tian Xiaozi in sight.
Suddenly, a magic shield shimring with black light appeared in front of Jing Jing, blocking the burly man’s attack. This shield was extrely sturdy, dispersing all of the magic energy waves from the burly man while remaining intact.
The burly man was startled and hastily widened his eyes to look at the one who conjured the shield.
It was another young lady, dressed in a black gown, gracefully standing beside Jing Jing, holding a gold sparkling peacock feather, her expression cold and aloof.
Demon Emperor!
Seeing the purple aura emanating from Qin Sisi, the burly man felt panic. The opponent was actually a Magic God. Damn it, why didn’t the ssenger servant report such significant information to him?
In the mont the burly man was stunned, Qin Sisi already switched from defense to offense. The Moon Spirit Golden Feather lightly traced forward, and a Fire Bomb was launched toward the burly man.
The burly man hastily gathered magical power to defend himself, but the gap between a Magic God and a Demon Emperor was greater than he imagined. The fireball, burning with golden flas, effortlessly broke through his defense, directly hitting the burly man’s abdon.
The burly man let out a miserable scream as his body was blasted far away, passing through the green gate of the Chief Mansion, flying deep inside, and finally falling onto the stone pavent, unable to rise again.
His abdon was severely burned, but his life was not in danger.
The Fire Bomb was a very low-level magic skill. For the sake of Qingxun, and considering Ye You’s interest in subduing, not destroying, the Zhulu family, Qin Sisi showed rcy towards the burly man.
anwhile, Jing Jing and Yun Wang also gained the upper hand against the dozen guards. Those guards were all at the Magic Spirit level, and with Jing Jing’s High-level Magic Spirit power and Yun Wang’s Low-level Magic God strength, naturally, the guards couldn’t gain an advantage.
