I’ve Led the Villain Astray, How Do I Fix It?

Chapter 401

The moment Xu Ziyan was being swept away by the spiritual energy and flying towards the crack, he thought he was done for.

Since such a strong devilish energy could kill the four nascent soul cultivators, it could surely kill him as well.

However, just before facing his death, he thought optimistically that at least he had not harmed the local townspeople. Even if he died, his body would still be preserved, so that he would not end up without a corpse.

The idea of dying and then being made into a clay figurine was too absurd. No matter how open-minded he was, he still could not accept that fate.

Yet, he never expected that things would take a surprising turn.

Just when he thought he was going to die, the red veil that was thrown on his head by Snowball suddenly flew up. To the shock of everyone present, it acted like a vacuum, completely sucking up the devilish energy wrapped around the ancient tree…

Xu Ziyan: =口= What the heck! Is this red veil a vacuum cleaner or something…

Xu Zirong: ==

Tianle: →_→ Hehe, following fellow Daoist Xu, we can always see all sorts of weird things… I knew that he must be the darling of the Heavens!

Due to the presence of the red veil, the threat of devilish energy disappeared, and the spiritual power enveloping them quivered, sucking them in even faster.

The red veil hung over Xu Ziyan and his companions’ heads, firmly protecting them. The moment they passed through the crack, the red veil suddenly expanded, enveloping them entirely. Soon, a tremendous force struck. Xu Ziyan only felt everything before him went dark before losing consciousness.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself lying on a meadow full of vibrant flowers.

The delicate grass beneath him felt like the finest velvet, soft and smooth. The pleasant fragrance wafting passed the nostrils was refreshing. It was clearly the scent of a high-quality spiritual grass that could soothe the mouth and brighten one’s eyes.

Xu Ziyan abruptly got up and looked around vigilantly. He distinctly remembered passing out when he crossed through the crack, so could that be another world connected to the crack? Where did Zirong go? And what about Tianle?

The three of them entered the place after bring wrapped together by the red veil. If it were only Tianle, he could assume that he had left on his own, but when it came to Xu Zirong, he would not believe he would leave him behind, unless he was forcibly taken away while he was still unconscious.

Looking around in the peaceful wilderness, there was only a burst of fragrance of flowers gently existing in the air. There was no one in sight. Xu Ziyan gently circulated his Qi and was pleasantly surprised to find that his cultivation had been restored!

He looked at the lightning spark at his fingertips, and a sense of confidence welled up in his chest. As long as his strength was still there, no matter where those people took Zirong, he would definitely be able to rescue him!

“Sir, you’re awake?” A clear and melodious female voice suddenly sounded behind Xu Ziyan.

Xu Ziyan nearly jumped up in shock, swiftly turning his head to stare at the woman dressed in a long green dress, who appeared to be a servant.

After he discovered that he had regained his spiritual power, he had already fully developed his divine consciousness to search for Xu Zirong’s whereabouts, but within the scope of his divine consciousness, there was no one else except himself. Then—— who was that woman?

“Who are you?” Xu Ziyan asked warily.

The woman in green slightly bowed, “Sir has awakened, so please come with me to meet my master.”

Xu Ziyan remained unmoved, giving her a cold look.

The woman in green did not waver upon seeing that, but gently smiled, “Sir’s two friends are already guests at my master’s place.”

Xu Ziyan’s pupils suddenly contracted as his aura surged with the might of a nascent soul cultivator. The vibrant and colorful spiritual grasses were instantly wiped out under that pressure.

However, the woman in green appeared as if she had not noticed, still being respectful and polite without a blink.

Xu Ziyan’s expression turned slightly cold, and he slowly retracted his imposing aura, “Lead the way.”

“Yes.” The woman in green still smiled politely, but in Xu Ziyan’s eyes, she was a silent threat.

The two proceeded in silence, following the guidance of the woman in green. They quickly passed through the sea of flowers.

The moment Xu Ziyan stepped out of the sea of flowers, Xu Ziyan felt a familiar energy wave, which was the energy that would only be generated when traveling through space. When the wave calmed down, he realized that he was currently in a massive city.

Unable to resist, he turned his head to glance back at the lush green grassland. It was isolated by a layer of transparent barrier. If he guessed correctly, the thing they had passed through earlier must be the city’s protective formation.

The city they had entered was quite huge, but somewhat smaller than the central city. The various buildings there seemed inexplicably familiar to Xu Ziyan, as if he had seen similar buildings just moments ago…

! ! !

Suddenly, a flash of realization struck him like lightning!

He suddenly remembered that the style of the buildings in the current city was almost identical to that of the central city! Not only that, but even many shop signs were exactly the same!

He even saw the bookstore they initially entered, namely “Moxuan Pavilion”.

It was also a coincidence that the city gate that the servant in green led him into happened to be at the same location as the gate that they entered when they first arrived at the central city at that time, which allowed him to identify the similarities between the two cities as quickly as possible.

He suppressed the surprise in his heart, and continued pondering. What was the connection between this city and the central city?

Based on the traces left by the central city previously, it seemed that a very sudden incident had occurred, which caused all the people in the entire city to disappear. Now, he found himself in a place smaller than the central city, but with similar layout. He could not believe that there was no connection between the two, no matter how much he tried to rationalize it.

“Please come this way.” The servant in green reminded softly.

Xu Ziyan paused briefly. Since he had been obeying every order, he was a little distracted as he found that the layout of the place was almost similar to the central city. However, despite the bustling streets and crowd, there was not a single living person there within his divine consciousness!

He warily glanced at the servant in green, completely unable to comprehend what was going on.

Although Mr. Square could block divine consciousness, he could not fathom why the servant had the reason to do so?

It was completely unreasonable!

Slowly lowering his gaze, Xu Ziyan concealed his contemplation. Ever since they entered that ghostly Jiangnan town, every bizarre occurrence seemed to be orchestrated by a mysterious puppeteer behind the scenes.

He had no idea what the hidden hand’s true purpose was, but… looking at the silhouette of the servant in green, he believed that the answer would be revealed soon.

The servant in green led him towards the city center. According to the layout of the central city, it should be where the central secret room was located.

Of course, those monsters and the rule’s walls did not exist there. Both of them walked quickly without detours, and after a while, they saw the location of the original central secret room.

However, unlike the central city, there was no seven-story building. Instead, there stood a city lord’s mansion. There were two guards in gold armor at the entrance of the mansion, but within Xu Ziyan’s divine consciousness, there was also nothing there.

The servant in green seemed to hold high authority in the city lord’s mansion. With just a glance, she was able to bring in a stranger like him through the mansion’s gates.

The two guards did not even lift their eyelids as they directly opened the door and let them in. Xu Ziyan felt a little uneasy, concerned about Xu Zirong’s safety.

The servant in green took him to a living room, then vanished. Xu Ziyan sat on a chair, absentmindedly caressing the outer surface of a teacup. Despite the inviting aroma of the tea, he had no desire to drink it.

He waited in silence until a somewhat surprised voice came from a small side door.

“Daoist Xu!!!”

Xu Ziyan turned his head in surprise, and saw Tianle sobbing as he ran towards him…

Xu Ziyan tried holding back, but he still could not resist the reflex of giving a kick.

Tianle, who was rushing over with a graceful posture, was kicked away without warning, flying into a wall with a “thud.”

Xu Ziyan: …== He really didn’t mean to, but I was purely reacting reflexively…

Tianle silently tore herself off the wall, squatted in a corner and cultivated mushrooms with a dark cloud over his head, exuding a gloomy atmosphere.

Xu Ziyan rubbed his face vigorously, and felt that it was quite a familiar scene… Could it be that Tianle and Zirong had been together for a long time, so he was taught some top-tier acting skills?

“Sorry, it was a reflex…” Xu Ziyan walked behind Tianle, poking him gently as he sincerely apologized.

Tianle looked pitiful, sniffed his nose forcefully, and said in a very aggrieved tone, “Zirong had been in deep sleep. I finally get to see you, and this is how you treat me?”

“What!” Xu Ziyan sensed a thunderstorm in his head, and only heard the part about Zirong bring in deep sleep, so he did not hear the complaints after that at all.

He grabbed Tianle and stared at him with piercing eyes, “Say that again, what happened to Zirong?”

Tianle was taken aback, and quickly explained, “I don’t know exactly what’s going on. When I came here, they had already found Zirong, but he was just in deep sleep. But don’t worry, I have checked him, and his life is not in danger…”

“Stop talking nonsense, take me to him!” Xu Ziyan was extremely flustered. His mind was so messed up that he could not think clearly at all.

Ever since he woke up, he had been unable to contact Xu Zirong, but he kept telling himself that it was due to the special environment preventing the blood contract from working. However, now that he found out that Xu Zirong was unconscious, his heart immediately became chaotic. He could not think carefully at all and only wanted to see Zirong’s condition with his own eyes.

Seeing Xu Ziyan’s terrifying expression, Tianle dared not argue at that point, so he quickly led him through several corridors and came to a guest room.

Xu Ziyan opened the door and walked in. Bypassing a folding screen, he saw Xu Zirong’s figure.
