I am a mage and a wet nurse, so using seven swords is not too much, right?

Chapter 1312 The City Lord of Rift City

"Yes, it's been taken in."

Ning Ruan nodded confidently.

"How could you take him in? We captured him." The Shadow City Lord's tone was unfriendly.

"You were the ones who arrested him, that's for sure." Ning Ruan looked at him like he was an idiot, her tone flat: "But weren't I on my way to chase after someone?"

She tilted her head slightly, her gaze lingering for a moment on the surging black shadow of the Shadow City Lord, a half-smile playing on her lips.

"Or is it that I don't need to go, and the city lord will go after him personally?"

"..."

The shadowy figure surrounding the city lord of the film studio suddenly froze.

Ning Ruan continued, "If you want to go, that's fine, but then there won't be anyone to fight for you. Aren't you afraid someone might accidentally die?"

She shrugged casually.

Anyway, I don't care.

"I'm just going to be your henchman for free. If you're not happy about it, then I can't force you to. It's up to you."

"..."

With just one sentence, he effectively shut down all the words the City Lord of the Film City could say.

"All right!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was about to freeze again, Long Jun, despite his weak body, interrupted in a deep voice.

He gave Ning Ruan a deep look, his golden vertical pupils filled with complex emotions, which ultimately turned into a sigh:

“Young Fellow Daoist Ning, you can take the person with you, but this matter is of great importance, and we must go together.”

Fearing Ning Ruan might refuse, he added, "After all, we are at the Nascent Soul stage. Not to mention fighting, even when chasing someone, we should be faster and save more time than you. Moreover, if a fight really breaks out, we can be an asset."

"sure."

To everyone's surprise, Ning Ruan agreed readily.

It was as if they hadn't even considered refusing at all.

She slowly raised her eyes, her gaze sweeping over each city lord present, finally settling on Long Jun's pale face, and asked earnestly:

"You can go, but... are you sure your injuries are alright?"

"..."

Inside the main hall, a deathly silence fell once again.

Is there a problem?

Of course!

Of the eight city lords present, every single one of them was wounded.

Long Jun is the most seriously injured and probably doesn't even have the strength to fight anymore.

The others are in slightly better condition, but their treatment and recovery period is still short, and they have not yet fully recovered.

Their breathing was not very steady.

This is a really painful question.

Long Jun's lips twitched slightly, and he forced himself to say, "After three days of rest, you'll be fine."

"Three days?" Ning Ruan raised an eyebrow and replied without any politeness, "Three days later, the person will have long since run to the ends of the earth."

She withdrew her gaze, turned and walked out of the hall. Her voice was not loud, but it clearly echoed throughout the entire hall.

"I'm going now. If you can't make it, then forget it."

"..." How can this be left unresolved?

She ran away with the only prisoner.

Who knows if she'll actually go after her?

What if the people and prisoners just disappear together?

They don't think anyone else would do such a thing.

Ke Ningruan... she's really capable.

Even without any reason, it's entirely possible to do something like this just to annoy them!

"and many more!"

Long Jun said urgently, "Give us some more time to consider it."

Before Ning Ruan could answer, a slightly hoarse voice rang out:

"I'll go."

Ning Ruan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a cultivator wearing a silver-gray robe, with a cold face and animal patterns covering his face, step forward.

His breathing was also disordered, though not as severe as Long Jun's injuries, but still more serious than the others.

It was none other than Qian Jue, the city lord of Rift City.

"Lord Qian, your injury..." Lord Leigui City frowned.

“I won’t die.” Qian Jue interrupted him expressionlessly, looking directly at Ning Ruan. “Although I am injured, I can still break through space and teleport short distances. Traveling is not a problem.”

Spatial teleportation?

This is great!

Ning Ruan immediately nodded, "Okay."

She hasn't experienced this yet.

wrong.

They must have experienced it themselves.

When her second father threw her into Sihaizhou, he must have used this.

But she was too badly injured at the time and didn't feel anything.

I haven't tried it while fully conscious yet.

"That's fine then. Lord Qian and you can go first, and we'll follow shortly."

"The city lord of Thunder Turtle City, whose injuries are not serious, spoke in a solemn voice."

"I think it's unnecessary."

Ning Ruan turned around with a smile and said, "Don't say anything about helping me fight. Let's be honest, city lords, you're just here to monitor me, afraid that I'll run away with my men."

"If I really wanted to run away, I would just walk openly and honestly, and you wouldn't be able to stop me."

"Alright, Lord Qian, let's go."

Qianjue: "..."

Qianjue remained silent for a moment.

He stepped forward again, placing his right hand lightly on Ning Ruan's shoulder.

Then take a step.

He and Ning Ruan were nowhere to be seen in the entire hall.

The two seemed to have vanished into thin air.

Only where Qian Jue left did the space fluctuate violently.

"This is outrageous!"

"She's far too arrogant."

The Shadow City Lord's furious voice echoed in the empty hall, but no one responded.

The other city lords either remained silent or stared in the direction Ning Ruan had left, their expressions varying.

On the jade bed, Long Jun, who had been half-lying down, suddenly chuckled and echoed, "She is indeed arrogant."

After saying that, he turned to look at the city lord of the film studio, "So what? What can you do about her?"

"Attack her?"

"Heh." He chuckled again. "Don't forget, the painting in her hand can be used to attract more than just the Dark Phoenix Clan."

"Even you and I will be taken in."

Upon hearing this, the temperature inside the hall seemed to drop even further.

The city lord of Shadow City was silent for a moment, then coldly snorted, "If we all attack together..."

Before he could finish speaking, Long Jun interrupted him, looking at him with amusement, "Yes, we should all attack together. Those seniors who wanted to snatch the immortal artifact from Ning Ruan probably thought the same thing."

"But what was the result? I don't need to say more about the result."

"Even if we all attack at the same time, Ning Ruan will be too busy to attend to everyone, but one of us will definitely fall into her hands."

"So, who would want to be the unlucky one?"

"It's you?"

"Me again?"

"..."

For the first time, the Shadow City Lord, who had always been at odds with Long Jun, did not refute him.

He was so angry that he turned and left alone.

The other city lords didn't stay long either.

Soon, only Long Jun and Lei Zhen, who had been standing silently, remained in the main hall.

The former looked up at him: "I forgot, you're Ning Ruan's person. Actually, even if no one is monitoring her, as long as you're still here, she should come back, right?"

Lei Zhen: "..."

He moved his lips, managing to utter four words: "I don't know."

He genuinely didn't know.

Moreover, he wasn't exactly one of Ning Ruan's people.

Who would use such a terrifying thing as a soul-controlling talisman on their own people?
