Nightmare Apostle

Chapter 1401: Chapter 881: Spirit Cage_3

"Why?" The woman pressed on.

"Because that book... that book it..." Seeing that the setup was about right, Yang Xiao slyly assessed the woman’s figure, gathered courage, and added heavily, "That book is an obscene book, its contents are unbearable to look at. The Sect Master is truly audacious in his desires. Based on the contents, we judge that his interest in you personally is even greater than his interest in the magic artifact you possess."

In an instant, the temperature in the air dropped several degrees. Just when Yang Xiao thought the other party might erupt with anger, to his surprise, the woman simply took a deep breath and gently exhaled the murky air from her chest, "Once your Patrol Defense Office finds out where he is, make sure to contact me."

"Absolutely!" To ruin the Sect Master, Yang Xiao would go to any lengths.

"I invited you here today because there’s something I need to ask of you." Shao Changyin Ji’s gaze swept past Yang Xiao, looking towards Jiang Qingluan behind the transparent glass.

"She’s severely injured and has received the Ghost Script. In her current state, entering the Nightmare World is certain death. You know each other, so I implore you to save her."

"Of course, you won’t be saving her for free. You can state any condition, and as long as we can fulfill it, we will try our utmost."

Shao Changyin Ji’s tone was crisp, leaving no room for delay, her entire being exuding a sharp aura.

"I would like to take a closer look at her first. As for whether I can save her, I’m not sure." Yang Xiao confessed honestly.

"You can definitely save her." Unexpectedly, Shao Changyin Ji spoke with absolute certainty.

"How do you know I can save her?" The suspicion that had been lingering in Yang Xiao’s mind resurfaced, "And moreover, you don’t even know me, so why did you think of inviting me to save her?"

Yang Xiao’s doubt was very reasonable, as everything about this situation seemed peculiar.

Initially, Yang Xiao assumed Jiang Qingluan dreamed of the Nine-layered Demon Tower. But now it appears not to be the case, as the Ghost Dream doesn’t kill in such a complicated manner.

"Don’t misunderstand, we mean nothing else; we just want to save people." Shao Changyin Ji explained, "As for why we chose you, it’s due to a capability of one of our elders; she ’foretold’ you."

"It’s a prophecy ability?" This ability immediately reminded Yang Xiao of the martyr within the Esoteric Sect.

"Sort of, but it’s not as simple as you think." Later, Shao Changyin Ji briefly explained to Yang Xiao, speaking very tactfully, ensuring not to expose the exact abilities of that elder while still making things clear, which Yang Xiao finally understood.

The matter was not difficult to understand; let’s assume that the elder’s special magic artifact is a notebook, she writes the question of how to save Jiang Qingluan in it.

And the notebook won’t directly present clear answers like Yang Xiao’s name but will provide ways to find out the answer. For instance, this time, there were a few keywords given.

Through these keywords, the people from Yi Sect roughly derived information that the person capable of saving Jiang Qingluan has recently been inquiring about her.

Thus, Yi Sect people, limited to a week, searched for those who inquired about Jiang Qingluan during that week, including Yang Xiao. They found a total of over ten people, among whom were even people from opposing factions.

Next, each one was eliminated, all impossibilities were excluded, leaving only two candidates, one of whom was Yang Xiao.

"What about the other person?" Yang Xiao asked curiously, "Did you also invite him?"

"We invited him; he’s in this building as well. He also has a way to save Qingluan," Shao Changyin Ji admitted openly.

"Then, since you’ve already chosen, why are you inviting me?" Yang Xiao questioned.

"Because this person has an excessive appetite; the reward he demands puts us in a difficult position."

Yang Xiao understood; it was difficult, but not impossible, which means that Yi Sect is indeed eager to save Jiang Qingluan, but they are weighing pros and cons.

"If I hadn’t come, would you agree to that person’s terms to save her?" Yang Xiao suddenly asked.

"I don’t know." Shao Changyin Ji replied bluntly.

"Hmm... alright, let me go in, I’ll give it a try."

Yang Xiao held a favorable impression of Jiang Qingluan; she was quite a reliable teammate.

She was skilled, quick-witted, and knowledgeable about oddities. In the Ghost Script in Fushou Manor, her contribution made surviving possible.

If it weren’t for Xiang Fengchen disrupting things between them, his relationship with Jiang Qingluan might have been even better.

The last door opened, and Yang Xiao and Shao Changyin Ji walked into the special ward, looking at Jiang Qingluan’s face, no longer the spirited expression it once had.

Yang Xiao doubted that even without being embroiled in the ghost script, she might not survive the night.

Without hesitation, Yang Xiao directly took out the Ghost Lantern, and the next instant, green light shot out, enveloping Jiang Qingluan on the hospital bed.

Though there’s such a master as Shao Changyin Ji beside him, Yang Xiao wasn’t worried that the other party could discern his true abilities.

After all, before leaving, Dean Sheng had reminded him that there are few in this world who can see through his real capabilities, easily counted on fingers.

To discover his flaws without using the drama robe abilities, domestically, only the Commerce Association Chairman possesses this skill.

At this stage, Yang Xiao believed he wouldn’t encounter such a supreme being standing atop the Angel Envoy hierarchy. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

Besides, he had already confirmed this; he had faced the Life Demanding Monk directly, and the latter hadn’t uncovered the secrets of his drama robe; otherwise, he would’ve taken it long ago.

As Qingluan was completely enveloped by the green light, her body’s condition was no longer a mystery to Yang Xiao.
