Then, Leng Ruoli and her group quickly found the old locust tree on the back mountain of the Flower Clan.
Leng Ruoli and the others looked up. Ling'er and Xing'er were tied to the old locust tree, their mouths completely gagged.
Upon seeing Leng Wang and his wife appear, Ling'er and Xing'er immediately shook their heads frantically, saying something in muffled sounds. However, no one understood what they were saying. A beautiful woman stood beside them.
Seeing this, Leng Ruoli took a step forward, but was stopped by Jun Mohan and Ming Jiuxiao.
"Li'er, don't get too close to this woman. She's very strange."
Jun Mohan quickly reminded her.
"Big Iceberg is right, this woman is indeed very strange."
It was rare for Ming Jiuxiao and Jun Mohan to be on the same side.
After hearing their words, Leng Ruoli stopped in her tracks, her beautiful eyebrows, like a new crescent moon, furrowed slightly.
"Then how should we save Xing'er and Ling'er?"
At this moment, Ming Jiuxiao revealed a wicked smile and said, "Let me go! I'm good at dealing with such strange women."
After Ming Jiuxiao said this, Jun Mohan remained silent, not objecting, indicating that he agreed with Ming Jiuxiao's approach.
Ming Jiuxiao didn't care if Jun Mohan objected or not. After speaking, he walked towards the beautiful woman.
When he stood not far from the beautiful woman, the corner of his lips curled into a mischievous smile, exuding both handsomeness and a rogue charm.
He parted his thin lips and said in a syrupy voice, "Oh, old lady, we have no enmity with you. Why did you capture our two little maids?"
Hearing Ming Jiuxiao's words, the beautiful woman was so angry that her face turned as black as ink. Her eyes blazed, her teeth chattered, and her whole body trembled.
She roared at Ming Jiuxiao, "You damned man, how dare you call me an old lady!!!"
Ming Jiuxiao raised his hand, curled his fingers like a lady's orchid, stroked a small tuft of dark hair on his chest, and said in a teasing manner, "So what if I call you an old lady? Are you still young?"
"You..."
The beautiful woman was so angered by Ming Jiuxiao that her internal rage instantly erupted. She lightly raised her right hand, gathering internal energy in her palm. Then, with a flick of her palm, she fiercely struck towards Ming Jiuxiao.
This damned enchantress, even if she wasn't young, she was only just thirty! Being called an old lady by Ming Jiuxiao made her furious. If she didn't beat him, she wouldn't be able to vent her anger.
However, Ming Jiuxiao was prepared. As the beautiful woman attacked him, he quickly dodged.
Seeing that Ming Jiuxiao's martial arts were skillful, the beautiful woman launched a new round of attacks. She drew the sword in her hand, channeled her internal energy, and thrust the sharp long sword towards Ming Jiuxiao.
Ming Jiuxiao took out a folding fan from his waist. With a flick of his fan, he blocked the beautiful woman's sword.
Seeing this, the beautiful woman rotated in mid-air, retracted her sword, landed steadily, and calmed herself down.
"I don't care what your relationship is with that girl. But I advise you not to meddle, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."
The beautiful woman advised him impatiently.
Hearing this, Ming Jiuxiao chuckled.
"My relationship with that girl is none of your business, old lady. If you want to deal with me, just come at me."
Ming Jiuxiao replied arrogantly.
"You... you really don't know what's good for you!"
The beautiful woman was so angered by Ming Jiuxiao that she almost died, her chest heaving violently.
However, this time she suppressed her anger and ignored the effeminate man in front of her. Instead, she spoke to Leng Ruoli and the others standing in the distance, "Who among you is Leng Ruoli? I want to discuss something with a woman named Leng Ruoli. No one else is allowed to come."
As soon as the beautiful woman said this, Ming Jiuxiao retorted, "Old lady, you're calling someone by name. What's your target?"
"This has nothing to do with you. Get lost!" the beautiful woman yelled at Ming Jiuxiao impatiently.
Saying that, she put her sword to Ling'er's neck.
"If Leng Ruoli doesn't come over, I'll kill this little girl. Do you think it's worth it?" the beautiful woman threatened.
Upon hearing this, Leng Ruoli ignored Jun Mohan's obstruction and walked towards the beautiful woman. As she passed Ming Jiuxiao, she whispered a few words into his ear. Ming Jiuxiao looked helpless and returned to Jun Mohan's side.
Leng Ruoli stopped about a meter away from the beautiful woman and said in a neither warm nor cold tone, "I've come. Release my people."
Although the beautiful woman removed the sword from Ling'er's neck, she ignored Leng Ruoli's words. Instead, she curved her red lips and said, "You look so much like your mother! You're like a template, and your appearance is as outstanding as your mother's. You mother and daughter are indeed beautiful."
Hearing this, Leng Ruoli's gaze towards the beautiful woman instantly turned into shattered fragments. Her two dark eyebrows furrowed slightly. Dressed in a clean and neat ice-blue belted long dress, she stood straight before the beautiful woman.
"This has nothing to do with you. I just want to know when you'll release them?"
"Actually, it's very simple to let them go. As long as you step into this large circle surrounded by withered yellow leaves next to me, I'll let your two little maids go. What do you think?"
As soon as the beautiful woman finished speaking, the two little maids still tied to the old locust tree desperately shook their heads, as if to say: Wang Fei, Wang Fei, don't listen to her. It's dangerous in that big circle.
But Leng Ruoli just glanced at them, then walked into the large circle designated by the beautiful woman.
In fact, Leng Ruoli already understood what Xing'er and Ling'er wanted to convey, but she couldn't ignore their lives. Even though she knew this woman had set a trap for her, she had to step into it.
This was because Ming Jiuxiao had told her that this woman practiced secret arts, and her two little maids had also been subjected to her secret arts. Fearing that her two little maids would be harmed, she followed the woman's instructions.
After Leng Ruoli entered the large circle of withered leaves laid out by the beautiful woman, the beautiful woman suddenly threw two crescent-shaped, dark stones from her sleeve into the circle where Leng Ruoli was standing.
Leng Ruoli felt that the beautiful woman's actions were very wrong. She immediately tried to kick the two black stones out of the circle, but the two black stones returned to their original positions after touching the boundary of the circle.
Seeing this, Leng Ruoli's heart sank. She didn't know what scheme this woman was up to.
At this moment, Jun Mohan and Ming Jiuxiao, who were outside the circle, also felt a jolt and frowned, ready to act.
But then, a gust of chilling wind arose along the edge of the large circle of leaves, and the withered leaves on the ground were instantly sucked into the circle.
Then, they began to rotate counterclockwise along the circle. In less than a minute, they formed a whirlwind, causing the withered leaves to spin rapidly, tightly enclosing the large circle where Leng Ruoli was standing, forming a huge conical pillar.
