"Kai Kai! Follow us!" Gao Lan Mei called out loudly to the beast that seems to be hiding. The large hound suddenly appeared at the far end of the crowd. Its red eyes cautiously looking at Wei Jiayi and Gao Lan Mei.
"Hurry." Wei Jiayi commanded unhappily. Then instead of leaping towards Gao Lan Mei which the hound normally did, it turned into a spiritual ball before getting inside its master"s consciousness.
Gao Lan Mei can only look at the man next to her suspiciously. "Kai Kai is hiding because of you?" Not voicing out but her eyes clearly state this.
Before both of them completely disappear to the transportation s.p.a.ce, Wei Jiayi reached for her hand and held it firmly. "I don"t want to be lost."
The moment "Merchant Lan" and Wei Jiayi sink into the dark void that is made from the magical transportation circle, no need to convince anyone. It is already clear that there is really another way out.
If not because of the expert"s quick action to stop those that want to jump in the void before it officially disappeared, a lot were able to follow behind them.
Not all are aware of how tricky it is to manipulate a magical transportation circle. The start should be set, that also goes with the destination. That is also the reason why it is very difficult to learn magic for underground traveling.
Wei Jiayi"s retainers cannot help but be delighted as they are aware that even among their ranks, no can do what their future mistress had done.
The moment the light on the circle disappeared, citizens rushed to Lou Ren to get a piece of stone. No need to even go to the other areas as almost all are willing to cooperate.
"Why is there no more?! I want a stone!"
"What will happen to us then? I was not able to get a stone!"
The supply is limited. Now, this is another issue that Lou Ren needs to explain.
Lou Ren can helplessly look at the situation he is currently in. He can only be grateful that they don"t need to beg to anyone"s help for the defense wall.
After all, visitors from the Immortal Domain are not really responsible for their safety.
…
Underground Safety Chambers
Blood. They immediately sensed the smell of iron the moment Gao Lan Mei and Wei Jiayi stepped out if the magical transportation circle.
The place is also dark and even if her defense walls illuminates faint blue light, it is still not enough to brighten the chamber.
Wei Jiayi stepped in front like a s.h.i.+eld, before speaking, "Stay behind me." He said cautiously.
They left Zhao Liwei alone in the safety chambers. If ever there is any forced entry, she should be aware of it since Gao Lan Mei"s defense wall is set up this way.
She also prepared herself to fight as Wei Jiayi already informed her that the p.a.w.ns that he left here are already destroyed. Meaning enemies are able to get in.
Even though that is the case, they still took the risk to go back since Zhao Liwei is still Wei Jiayi"s responsibility.
It was a long talk before he relented to pick the delegate up and make sure he is still alive.
"This…" Wei Jiayi murmured with disbelief.
"What happened? Is it safe to make the place brighter?" Gao Lan Mei whispered with impatience. She does not have special skills to see through the dark unlike him.
"Mei Mei, we should go back…" Wei Jiayi whispered again, "Don"t fight me on this alright? It will be fine for a while… It is just not a good time now." He explained hurriedly.
"Go back? What is going on? Let me see." Her patience running so, she decided to create a small light to the dark room.
"I want to see. Now." She added firmly, not giving him any chance to refuse.
