Song Yan Ning softly withdrew her gaze and walked towards the mountain gate with Qin Yushen and Elder Mie Yu. Fang Yanran had brought it upon herself; no one else was to blame.
Once they left Tianyi Gate, the three of them sensed a dangerous aura. They continued down the mountain without any outward reaction.
People hiding in the shadows saw Song Yan Ning and her companions enter the array they had set up, and their lips curled slightly upward. They had been guarding this spot for days, ready to trap any disciple that came out from Tianyi Gate using the array and then capture them. Their plan was to use these disciples to negotiate with Tianyi Gate for the release of their captured elders and disciples.
As Song Yan Ning and her companions reached the middle of the array, one of the men hurriedly activated it. Although this array was not lethal, injuries were inevitable.
However, as the array activated, there was no movement inside it at all.
The people looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that these three were just novice cultivators who had been killed upon entering the array? Indeed, the array would not take the life of a cultivator, but both novice cultivators and ordinary people who had never cultivated would certainly lose their lives if they entered it.
Just then, the array fluctuated and then disappeared without a trace.
Song Yan Ning and her companions stood unharmed, looking at the shocked faces of the several people.
"Are you... also array masters?" one of them managed to ask after regaining his composure.
"Which sect are you from?" Qin Yushen asked in a calm voice, his strong presence making the other group sweat profusely.
"We... we are disciples of the Qingyue Sword Sect, and we only did this hoping that Tianyi Gate would release our captured elders and disciples."
"How many Tianyi Gate disciples did you capture?" Although this array was child’s play to them, it was still a Level 5 Array, and it was normal for disciples who did not understand arrays to be trapped.
"A little over twenty..."
"They’re held over there," the spokesman pointed to an array not far away. They had initially planned to capture fifty people and then negotiate with Tianyi Gate. They hadn’t expected to encounter Song Yan Ning and her companions, ruining their plans and putting their lives in danger. From their strong aura, they knew these three were much more powerful than they were.
With a sweep of her divine sense, Song Yan Ning saw the twenty or so Tianyi Gate disciples trapped by the array and waved an Array Flag.
As the flag fell, the array trapping the people instantly vanished.
The people from Qingyue Sword Sect looked towards Song Yan Ning in disbelief. Just what level of Array Master was she? No wonder their array hadn’t worked on them.
The liberated disciples of Tianyi Gate immediately walked towards Tianyi Gate. They had been out on missions and had unexpectedly encountered an ambush. Their communication tokens had been taken away, and even though the sect was right in front of them, they were unable to send a distress signal.
"Senior Sister Song! Senior Brother Qin! Senior Sister Mie Yu!" the disciples of Tianyi Gate ran over delightedly upon seeing Song Yan Ning and the others. It was obvious that they had been rescued by them.
"You guys take them back," instructed Song Yan Ning. She had already treated these people with her medicine.
"Aren’t you going back with us?" one disciple asked.
"We have to go out for a bit," Qin Yushen replied calmly.
"Alright, then we’ll head back first." The group grabbed the Qingyue Sword Sect disciples and headed toward Tianyi Gate.
