166: Chapter 156 166: Chapter 156 The Earl’s Magic Wand had bound the opponent, but he didn’t dare move forward immediately.
The Viscounts stood by the Earl’s side, nervously looking in that direction; they saw a colorful net trapping something, but they couldn’t make out what it was.
They felt certain it was some sort of monster; why else couldn’t 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.
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 couldn’t allow him to continue causing harm; seeing that he intended to do evil today, he had offended the Princess, and if he didn’t catch that person, he couldn’t protect the Princess.
Ye Tian wielded the Heaven-Earth Net, capturing the fleeing Taoist’s 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 couldn’t escape from Ye Tian’s 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.
“Junior sister Yan, let’s go out!”
The two suddenly stepped out from behind those few people.
The Earl and the Viscounts, nervously watching them, asked:
“We are here to participate in the Immortal Sect contest.
We saw you following a Taoist and two women we recognize, so we followed.” Ye Tian explained to these wary people.
“People of the Immortal Sect, aren’t they from the Immortal Sect as well?
Why would they come to frame our Stockade’s people?”
“Are 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; he’s a degenerate of the Immortal Sect and should be caught and punished,”
“Escaped, that despicable person has escaped?”
“How could you let him escape?
Why didn’t you intercept him, are you perhaps his accomplices?”
The Earl and the Viscounts did not believe what Ye Tian said.
“My 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,”
Yan Weiwei couldn’t help speaking up at this point.
“How can you prove you’re not in league with them?”
The Earl’s blue eyes studied Ye Tian and Yan Weiwei, with a hint of belief in their words but fearing they were wolves in sheep’s clothing, lying to deceive them.
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 hadn’t 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.
The Earl and the Viscounts glared at the invisible Magical Treasure, seething.
“Don’t worry, he won’t be able to escape,” Ye Tian said confidently.
Can you find our enemy for us?”
The Earl stared intently at Ye Tian.
“I have the confidence.
First, let’s retract your Magical Treasure and hand those two women over to me.”
“How can we trust that?
Do those two women know you?”
The people of the Earl’s Stockade had kind hearts; even though they came out for revenge, they didn’t want the innocent killed, nor did they want to involve good people in the capture.
