Chapter 401 Nothing Ventured, Nothing Gained

Chapter 130 Interesting Little Fellow

The middle-aged man with a pointy mouth and monkey-like cheeks was none other than the dog-headed strategist who had served beside the great philanthropist Jing Lian back then. Now, he was Ying Gou, one of the three great philanthropists of Fengxin City, and the true person in charge.

He had given the order that Selena was not to be killed after being captured alive. Instead, she was to be subjected to brutal torture to force her to reveal where she had hidden the core hub.

Although he was currently the person in charge of the city, he was not the city lord. Only by obtaining the core hub that could control the entire city could he rightfully become the city lord.

That thing was not only a hub, but also a symbol of the city lord's power.

His gaze pierced through the tall buildings, through the bustling crowds. He saw the sneaky law enforcers, and he also saw the yellow-clothed girl.

It took the yellow-clothed girl a quarter of an hour to reach the outside of the city. Then, after looking around, she quickly flew south.

The law enforcers were still following behind her. Ying Gou pondered slightly and issued an order to the law enforcement team, instructing them to immediately lead a team to the south at high speed, but not to act rashly.

A team of law enforcers set off from the city and quickly sped south.

He was a superior philanthropist with profound cultivation. With the help of the Wheel of Morality, he could see very far.

Finally, the yellow-clothed girl arrived at a small hill ten miles south of the city. A blue-clothed youth emerged from behind a dry, thick tree.

The blue-clothed youth was shrouded in black Qi, making it difficult to see clearly, but he was definitely a medium or high-level sinner.

The two did not say much, just a few words.

Then, the blue-clothed youth flew quickly to the west.

The yellow-clothed girl looked around. Not seeing the row of heads peeking out from the northern hillside, she went behind the tree and sat down, as if waiting for the blue-clothed sinner to return.

"Begin the operation, capture that girl. Don't hurt her, she's useful."

Ying Gou's gaze was gloomy. He turned his head slightly and began to observe the sneaky figure of the blue-clothed youth.

"Hmph, so he really is going to rescue Selena? But does he even know where she is?"

Ying Gou narrowed his eyes slightly, a faint sneer appearing on the corner of his mouth.

"Hello, miss, please come with us."

A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Fang Xiaoyu.

"L… Law Enforcement Officer… I…"

Fang Xiaoyu looked extremely frightened, retreating repeatedly. Only then did she realize that a group of law enforcers had surrounded her from the foot of the hill. She was trapped.

"Was that sinner just now your friend?"

"N… No, I don't know him."

Judging by her nervous appearance, it was obvious that she was lying.

"Whether you know him or not, you'll find out when you come with us. Now, are you going to come with us willingly, or are we going to arrest you?"

The law enforcement officer really didn't want to use force on this timid girl. She was so weak and pitiful, perhaps she had been coerced into colluding with the sinner.

Alas, what a beauty…

"D… Don't hit me, I'll go with you."

Little Yu was extremely frightened. She was just a low-level philanthropist, how could she be a match for this group of medium-level philanthropists?

Seeing that she was so cooperative, the law enforcement officer did not use force and flew with her towards the city.

Wan Lei made a wide detour, cautiously avoiding the philanthropists outside. It took him a full hour to fly to the west side of the city.

In the distance was a huge complex of buildings.

High walls stood tall, topped with many sharp iron spikes, and there was a light screen barrier, presumably to prevent prisoners from escaping.

Inside the prison, there were several high towers, with guards standing on them, looking around and keeping watch.

The area nearby was very empty, with no place to hide or sneak around.

Although it was already dusk, visibility was still high. Wan Lei dared not fly up to observe the situation inside the prison, as that would easily expose himself.

Helpless, he could only wait for nightfall.

However, Wan Lei discovered that the people here did not seem to possess the power of divine sense. They only possessed a single attribute of merit power.

He released his divine sense to probe the situation inside the prison.

At this time, in the courtyard, some prisoners were walking in an orderly and numb manner towards a building under the supervision of guards.

The free time was over. Next, they would have their meals and then return to their respective cells to sleep.

Wan Lei quietly observed the situation inside the building. It was obvious that this building was not a place to imprison serious criminals, and the management was very lax.

Fortunately, he discovered a relatively hidden underground prison.

The environment inside this prison was extremely poor. Everyone was a sinner, both low-level and medium-level. Each person was bound with handcuffs and shackles, and some were even tied to wooden racks, being subjected to brutal torture.

Wan Lei didn't know which one was Selena, or even if that person was male or female. He was basically in the dark.

However, this did not prevent him from taking action.

"It's getting dark, it's time for you to act, right?"

Ying Gou stood in place, the smile on the corner of his mouth growing deeper.

"What methods will you use to rescue Selena from the heavily guarded dungeon?"

"Mr. Ying, what are you looking at?"

Behind Ying Gou stood two people exuding a rich clear Qi. From the concentration of clear Qi on these two people, it could be known that they were the other two superior philanthropists in Fengxin City.

"I'm watching an interesting little fellow. You guys take a look too, and see if he can actually rescue Selena."

"Oh? Someone is trying to rescue Selena?"

One of the superior philanthropists frowned.

"How can this be allowed? We should immediately send someone to arrest him."

"Shut up."

Ying Gou's expression turned slightly displeased.

"Do you think you're smarter than me? I discovered him this afternoon, do you think I don't know how to catch him? Use your pig brain and think, why haven't I caught him?"

The superior philanthropist was choked back. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly realized,

"You want to use him to find the hub?!"

"That's right, although I haven't figured out how to use him yet, let's take it one step at a time. There will be a way."

Ying Gou nodded. The other two became very interested, their gazes piercing through the high walls of the prison, looking at the blue-clothed sinner youth hiding in the corner.

Wan Lei circled around the prison, searching for a weakly guarded area.

At this time, everyone had already returned to their rooms. There was no one in the courtyard, and even the guards on the high towers had returned to their rooms.

Perhaps, they had never thought that someone could enter the prison without touching the barrier.

Barriers were another name for formations.

Wan Lei quietly arrived at the corner of the wall, activated his Array Eyes, and silently began to crack the formation.

One second…

It was cracked.

After resolving the formation, Wan Lei flipped over and entered the courtyard. Suddenly, alarms blared and dozens of guards surrounded him.
