The net still carried a sharp blade as it forcefully cut off the rope binding Zhou Jin.
Of course, Shadow Thirteen, Zhou Yuyan, and Mu Ting’s situation was not any better. After the mechanism was triggered, the ground split open and their feet fell into quicksand. The more they moved, the faster and deeper they sank. No matter how deep their internal energy was, it was useless.
Soon, Yan Jiuchao realized that not only was there quicksand there, but even the ground of this Yin Manor was covered in falling quicksand.
The dark sorcerer smiled crazily and poin ted at a small lake under Yu Wan and Zhou Jin. “Do you see that? That’s the array core below. One of them has to fall down and block the array core. Otherwise, the entire island will collapse!”
Yan Jiuchao narrowed his eyes. “You mean… one of them is enough to block the array core?”
The dark sorcerer was stunned. What was that supposed to mean?
“Is this difficult to choose?” Yan Jiuchao asked.
The black sorcerer chuckled. “Young man, stop pretending to be calm. Do you think I can’t tell that you’re poisoned? You need that child to detoxify you, but you can’t bear to part with that woman. Do you think your own life is more important or that woman’s life? Ah, right, your choice isn’t important. That woman has a dagger on her. If she cuts the rope herself, she can fall down and block the array core!”
“It seems that this array core has to be blocked.” Yan Jiuchao sneered. He grabbed the dark sorcerer and threw him towards the array core.
The dark sorcerer widened his eyes in disbelief. “You, you, you… Don’t you still need me—Gulp… Gulp…” Before he could finish speaking, the dark sorcerer fell
into the water and was sucked into the array core at the bottom of the water in the blink of an eye.
The commotion on the island stopped. Yan Jiuchao flew up and saved Yu Wan and Zhou Jin. Yu Wan was carried down by him, but Zhou Jin was not so lucky. He fell onto Zhou Yuyan!
“Ouch Zhou Yuyan cried in pain.
Yan Jiuchao pulled Shadow Thirteen up, and Shadow Thirteen pulled Mu Ting and Zhou Yuyan out.
“That was close.” Mu Ting wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. Just now, he really felt like he was about to die. No wonder so many people couldn’t return after coming to the island. That dark sorcerer was indeed too terrifying.
“However.” Mu Ting looked at the small lake that had already fallen silent. “Is that person… the great sorcerer on the island? If you kill him, what will you use to remove the sorcery power sealed in Little Junior Brother’s body?”
Yu Wan and Shadow Thirteen also looked at Yan Jiuchao. Although they understood that he would never sacrifice Yu Wan or an innocent child’s life for their own survival, it was still a pity that the great sorcerer they had obtained was gone.
“It’s all your fault!” Yu Wan glared at Mu Ting.
“Why is it my fault?” Mu Ting was stunned.
Yu Wan said resentfully, “If you hadn’t dawdled, we would have entered the courtyard long ago and wouldn’t have happened to be trapped in the array core! ”
“Ahem!” Mu Ting covered his cough with his fist. He was indeed deliberately dawdling, but it was definitely not to harm them. They were already on the island and were in the same boat. Moreover, his junior sister and junior brother were both there. How could he deliberately harm them? It was because he knew that the person living on the island was a dark sorcerer, so the closer he got to the dark sorcerer, the more afraid he was. He was just instinctively afraid.
Yu Wan narrowed her eyes at him. “Mu Ting, did you know from the beginning that the person living on the island is a dark sorcerer? You lured us here to trap us on the island forever so that we won’t be a burden to you, right?”
“I didn’t!” Mu Ting denied!
Yu Wan could not be bothered with him. She grabbed Yan Jiuchao’s hand with an aggrieved expression.
Gone, the Great Sorcerer they had obtained was gone…
“Come out,” Yan Jiuchao said as he rubbed her head and looked in the direction of the courtyard.
“Huh? There’s someone else in the house?” Yu Wan turned her head strangely and saw a stumbling figure slowly walk out of the messy house.
Yu Wan’s mouth fell open. “This is…”
The owner of the figure staggered to Yan Jiuchao and bent down with difficulty. In an old and hoarse voice, he said, “I’ve been locked up by that beast for twenty years… I never thought that I would see the light of day again…
Thank you for saving me, Young Master…”
So it was the person who was locked up by that old thing. He had been locked up for so many years and was quite pitiful. Yu Wan sized him up. “Who are you?”
The old man smiled weakly and cupped his hands at Yu Wan. “I’m not talented.
I’m from the Wei family of Jiangdu, Imperial Secretary Wei.”
“Imperial Secretary… Wei?” Mu Ting’s legs went limp and he knelt down.
Even though he was born so many years later, he had still heard of the other party’s famous reputation—the most talented great sorcerer in the Jade Nation, the Divine Master of Jiangdu whose status was comparable to the Sorcerer King! Wei Xuan! Imperial Secretary Wei!
