166: Chapter 156 166: Chapter 156 The Earlâs Magic Wand had bound the opponent, but he didnât dare move forward immediately.
The Viscounts stood by the Earlâs side, nervously looking in that direction; they saw a colorful net trapping something, but they couldnât make out what it was.
They felt certain it was some sort of monster; why else couldnât they see it?
Ye Tian and Yan Weiwei watched the entire scene from the Illuminating Mirror; the colorful glow had trapped only Long Feifeng and the palace maids, while the Taoist had taken out a Magical Treasure and escaped into the ground.
âNot good,â
Ye Tian was searching for that very person; how could he let him get away this easily, and where would he find him later?
He couldnât allow him to continue causing harm; seeing that he intended to do evil today, he had offended the Princess, and if he didnât catch that person, he couldnât protect the Princess.
Ye Tian wielded the Heaven-Earth Net, capturing the fleeing Taoistâs Magical Treasure from beneath the ground.
Then he thought it would be amusing to let the man attempt to escape with his Magical Treasure, knowing he was still within the bounds of the Heaven-Earth Net, no matter how far he tried to flee, he couldnât escape from Ye Tianâs grasp.
Moreover, the Heaven-Earth Net was equipped with a shocking mechanism; if the other party tried hard to escape, touching the net would electrocute him to death.
âJunior sister Yan, letâs go out!â
âOkay,â
The two suddenly stepped out from behind those few people.
The Earl and the Viscounts, nervously watching them, asked:
âWho are you?â
âWe are here to participate in the Immortal Sect contest.
We saw you following a Taoist and two women we recognize, so we followed.â Ye Tian explained to these wary people.
âPeople of the Immortal Sect, arenât they from the Immortal Sect as well?
Why would they come to frame our Stockadeâs people?â
âAre you talking about the Taoist who just escaped?
His actions have nothing to do with those two women and are unrelated to other people of the Immortal Sect; heâs a degenerate of the Immortal Sect and should be caught and punished,â
âEscaped, that despicable person has escaped?â
âHow could you let him escape?
Why didnât you intercept him, are you perhaps his accomplices?â
The Earl and the Viscounts did not believe what Ye Tian said.
âMy senior brother is telling the truth; we just came into the city from outside the gates, and my senior brother happened to see that Taoist acting suspicious, and the two women, my senior brother recognizes them,â
Yan Weiwei couldnât help speaking up at this point.
âHow can you prove youâre not in league with them?â
The Earlâs blue eyes studied Ye Tian and Yan Weiwei, with a hint of belief in their words but fearing they were wolves in sheepâs clothing, lying to deceive them.
âLook at thisâŠâ
Ye Tian summoned the Illuminating Mirror, enlarging it to shine upon the captured objects within the colorful glow; previously, they had only seen the objects trapped but hadnât seen what they actually were.
With the light of the mirror, they saw two women upside down inside a Magical Treasure, but the despicable Taoist was nowhere to be seen, just a small hole in the ground.
âDamn it!
He got away again.â
The Earl and the Viscounts glared at the invisible Magical Treasure, seething.
âDonât worry, he wonât be able to escape,â Ye Tian said confidently.
âReally?
Can you find our enemy for us?â
The Earl stared intently at Ye Tian.
âI have the confidence.
First, letâs retract your Magical Treasure and hand those two women over to me.â
âHow can we trust that?
Do those two women know you?â
The people of the Earlâs Stockade had kind hearts; even though they came out for revenge, they didnât want the innocent killed, nor did they want to involve good people in the capture.
