Chapter 858 - 755: Has This Child Been Scared Silly

Ji Youzhi hurriedly asked.

Xiaosuisui reached out to Ji Youzhi, habitually asking for a hug.

Ji Youzhi also habitually reached out and scooped her up. Immediately, a voice "Feifei" reached his ears.

In the blink of an eye, with a few leaps from Xiaosuisui, they landed next to Dugu Xiao.

"Dugu Xiao!"

As soon as they landed, Ji Youzhi called out to Dugu Xiao.

"Youzhi, you’re here! Quick, retreat to North City."

At this moment, Dugu Xiao was driven mad with busyness, as His Majesty had been taken away by Yun Kuo.

The National Master went chasing after to protect His Majesty, while he and Yun Kuo headed towards the South City Gate with the Imperial Guard.

As a result, they were intercepted on the peninsula by the assimilated people.

"Who on earth is controlling these assimilated people?"

Dugu Xiao was going crazy!

These people couldn’t be killed, couldn’t be cut down. After all, they were still citizens of the Great Han.

His Majesty, even while heavily wounded, refused to leave, wanting to leave the Imperial Guard to defend the city—wasn’t it just to save the citizens of this city?

"I’ve investigated, the person controlling them is not in the city."

Yun Kuo spoke while retracting his hand, successfully dispelling the witch power from one of the assimilated people. He then handed the person over to the Imperial Guard, who formed a protective circle around them as they retreated.

Seeing Yun Kuo’s actions, Xiaosuisui jumped next to him without thinking.

"Uncle Yun Kuo, I’ll help you!"

With that, she grabbed an assimilated person knocked out by Dugu Xiao, and with a few gestures, quickly dispelled the witch power from within another assimilated person.

Ji Youzhi, seeing this, joined their team.

"I’ll join in too!"

Princess Ata and Xie Pan’Er were in the rear, continuously explaining the current situation to the people who recovered once the witch power was dispelled, urging them to remain calm and follow the Imperial Guard to retreat towards the North City Gate.

After several hours, their mouths were dry and their tongues parched from talking.

Later, Niuniu’s parents also joined in to help with the explanations.

Niuniu’s father carried Niuniu on his back. Although Niuniu’s mother felt sorry for her daughter, she suppressed her inner pain and helped Xie Pan’Er and Princess Ata explain the situation. She also took care of the elderly, sick, and weak, guiding them to retreat with the Imperial Guard.

Ji Youzhi saw the situation as soon as he arrived and hurriedly asked Dugu Xiao.

"Miss Xie and Princess Ata are here, where is His Majesty?

Is His Majesty safe?"

As Ji Youzhi helped dispel witch power from the citizens, he looked around but couldn’t find where the Emperor was.

So he turned to ask Dugu Xiao.

"His Majesty was escorted out of the city by Young Master Yun, and the National Master went to protect him. They have left all the Imperial Guard behind. We must do our best to protect the citizens of Yunhang County and stop Mo’Er’s forces, preventing them from moving north!"

Dugu Xiao said resolutely, grabbing another assimilated person and knocking them out, tossing them into the protective circle of the Imperial Guard.

There were still many assimilated people moving towards the South City Gate.

"With His Majesty out of the city, our chances are even greater."

Ji Youzhi said, then asked Xiaosuisui.

"Did you deliver the letter I asked you to give to your uncle?"

Xiaosuisui dispersed the witch power from another assimilated person and replied.

"I did, I handed it to him personally!"

Xiaosuisui’s reply made Dugu Xiao’s hand tremble, losing control over the force he applied to the assimilated person.

"You... you personally gave it to your uncle?" Dugu asked Ji Youzhi doubtfully, "Is this child so frightened she’s talking nonsense?"

Ji Youyuan is in the Capital City!

That is thousands of miles away from here!
