Chapter 393: Chapter 393
Fortunately, she had snatched Li Yanluo’s Revival Dan in advance. The Spiritual Energy from those several large boxes of Revival Dan had supported the paper effigy’s activities during this time. Taken from her, used against her! Pretty good.
A slight smile touched An Yan’s lips.
She raised her hand to draw out Spiritual Energy and quickly sketched a medium-grade talisman, slapping it onto the medium-grade talisman that Matsumoto Mina used as the eye of the Formation.
The two talismans collided, sending out ripples of transparent energy waves.
Like a visual effect, it swept over everything.
In the blink of an eye, the original appearance of the garage was exposed before everyone.
The original parking space was actually an elevator. An Yan stepped into it and, minutes later, arrived at Matsumoto Mina’s secret residence!
It was quite warmly arranged.
Though underground, there was no sense of gloom, as the lighting was very reasonably managed.
An Yan directly activated her x-ray vision and checked all the rooms one by one, but she did not find Li Tianyao!
She then looked down to the level below.
Ten-plus meters below, Li Tianyao was fixed to a platform, his eyes closed.
Spotlights illuminated his body from all around.
He looked like a carefully dressed and arranged puppet on display in an exhibition hall, devoid of soul or life, leaving behind only a body so beautiful it was unsettling.
And this body was shackled with chains, imprisoning his dangerous wildness.
It turned him into a toy that anyone could defile!
An Yan watched, stunned, her eyes uncontrollably reddening.
The man’s words echoed in her mind.
"Do you think it’s possible I’m your Antidote?"
"I’m in a lot of pain. Your medicine isn’t working! But I’m afraid if I say I’m in pain, you’ll feel distressed, and I don’t want you to feel distressed, little girl."
"Thankfully, I did everything I could to eliminate all the dangers I could for you."
"Don’t always focus on developing that Antidote; your life shouldn’t revolve around just that."
"Little girl, I love you."
"I’ve also left our home in Luocheng to you. Take care of our home, and wait for me to return!"
He had done so much for her, yet she, like a fool, had truly believed his arrangements were foolproof, that he could wait in the isolated place he had chosen until he fully recovered. And she had foolishly waited for him to return to her. But in reality, her man was being treated like a puppet, locked up in this place! The chains binding him were also engraved with complex incantations. These things suppressed his Inner Strength, turning him into a helpless toy, completely at others’ mercy! Li Yanluo!
An Yan clenched her jaw, viciously grinding the name between her teeth. Googlᴇ search novelFɪre.net
"Lord Jiu!" Luolie came down and, with a THUD, knelt beside Li Tianyao.
With trembling hands, he tried to unfasten the chains on him!
Who knew that just as he approached the chains, they would suddenly fly up, coiling around his neck like a whip.
At the same time, steel needles attached to the chains also sprang out.
If entangled by them, death was certain.
"Be careful!" An Yan kicked out, knocking the chains away.
Luolie swiftly leaped backward, escaping the chains’ attack range.
"Miss, is there a Formation on these chains too?"
"Mm." An Yan rapidly circulated her Spiritual Power, casting one seal after another, finally undoing the Formation on the chains.
But while the Formation could be undone, the poison could not.
Her kick had caused two steel needles from the chains to pierce her shoes.
Her foot was somewhat numb, but for now, it didn’t affect her movement.
"Let’s go!" An Yan bent down, helped Li Tianyao up, draped one of his arms over her shoulder, and strained to support him.
He’d lost weight! The muscles on his arms were gone. His bones dug into her uncomfortably.
"Li Tianyao, I can neutralize the Golden Thread Worm’s poison now. Sleep a little longer. Once we reach a safe place, I’ll administer the Antidote!"
The hand Li Tianyao had on her shoulder suddenly flipped and clamped onto her delicate, porcelain-white neck.
Unable to hear or see, his first instinct was to use deadly force.
He loathed the person who had imprisoned him! He guessed it was most likely Li Yanluo. If it had been Gu Shifang, he wouldn’t have been imprisoned in a place ; he would have been locked in a laboratory. His head wouldn’t just ache; his whole body would be in pain. He wouldn’t just be having his blood drawn; he’d be dissected! He only regretted never having thought to make Li Yanluo disappear completely! What right did she have to be with him?
The more Li Tianyao thought, the angrier he became, and the force in his grip grew fiercer.
He had been conscious for some time. But every time he awoke, there was a period where he couldn’t see, hear, or speak. The only solution was to wait—perhaps for days, months, or even longer. Previously, he had always endured these periods alone, but this time, he’d been captured. And this time, besides being unable to see, hear, or speak, he also had a headache—a constant, gnawing pain. Relentless! But the pain wasn’t the worst part; what was truly terrifying was that his Inner Strength was gone. Li Tianyao didn’t lack patience. Knowing he was immobilized and couldn’t move, he began to re-cultivate, bit by bit, trying to recover his lost Inner Strength. Who knew those chains were so bizarre? Every time he recovered a little, the chains would absorb it. As the chains absorbed his power, their suppression of him grew even more savage. He had no choice but to abandon cultivation and lie still, like an unfeeling puppet. He’d thought his captor would keep him imprisoned forever, but then someone had actually managed to get him out.
"Miss!" Seeing An Yan’s face flush red from suffocation, Luolie, Wen Ya, and the others all panicked.
Lord Jiu’s opened eyes were completely white—his pupils were entirely white—indicating he was still not fully conscious.
Previously, when he was bound and immobile, he naturally posed no threat to them. But now Lord Jiu was free. Acting on instinct, he would slaughter everyone here until no one remained.
"Li Tianyao, it’s me! I’m your little girl, your lawful wife! You promised you’d come back for me when you were better!" An Yan struggled to explain, trying to keep her voice calm and gentle, hoping to rouse him.
But the fingers on her neck, instead of loosening, tightened further.
Li Tianyao couldn’t hear a word An Yan said. He only knew that killing this person who had imprisoned him would allow him to return to his little girl. Had his little girl developed the Antidote for the Golden Thread Worm yet? Had she missed him during his absence? Had she gained weight or lost it? He wasn’t sure if it was his imagination, but the person he clutched felt so much like his little girl. Her neck was just as slender, her skin just as smooth. His fingers unconsciously caressed her neck. The familiar touch made him falter once more. Is it my little girl? It feels too much like her! I want to let go!
