Chapter 154: Tolerating Evil is Evil (Part )
Nangong Yu saw that his eyes were like those of a beast, flashing with ferocity and fright, and he could not help but take a step back.

"Me? How can I help?"

As the saying goes, evildoers will receive their due punishment.

These people behaved like grandsons in front of Xu Shanshan. Even if they were not convinced in their hearts, at least they never dared to show their rampant and ferocious faces.

But once they meet someone who is cowardly and easy to bully, they will not be polite.

"You are such a kind person, you will not watch us die in vain, right? We have tried, but still can't guess which way is the way out. Why don't you help us ask Master Xu to let us live."

This person spoke sincerely, but he suddenly burned the "source of fire" to the clean hem of Nangong Yu's clothes. The evil source flashing faintly in their eyes came from diverting trouble.

Some people know that they are not very capable and are easily abandoned by their companions and become cannon fodder, so they must first find a scapegoat to divert attention.

Sure enough, after his promotion, everyone's attention was focused on Nangong Yu.

Nangong Yu looked embarrassed. He glanced at Xu Shanshan and said, "She won't listen to me."

"Sir, can you really bear to watch so many of us die?"

These people may not be good at other things, but they are better than each other at moral blackmail.

Nangong Yu felt like he was being roasted on the fire by them. They looked pitiful and begged as they gathered around him, and Nangong Yu was forced to retreat step by step.

"me……"

Seeing that he was hesitant and ambiguous, he still refused to agree.

It was obvious that he had a close relationship with Xu Shanshan, and even if there were some conflicts and estrangements at the moment, they still had old feelings for each other. But he just refused to plead for them. Wasn't his previous behavior of acting like a savior just a pretense?
"So you are only kind in words."

Their eyes changed suddenly, their expressions reflected their hearts, from having hope aroused, to doubt after failure, and from doubt to the current despair of seeking help, their hearts have undergone a great transformation, and there is no light anymore.

Nangong Yu paused.

These people were right, he was indeed only kind in words.

He is not like Li Niaoniao, who is not an innocent and kind person who thinks that everyone in the world is a good person. He has always kept himself hidden and looked calm and composed, but he just doesn't dare to do bad things.

In fact, he had suffered hardships since childhood, and then encountered all kinds of dark insults, so his heart had long become sharp and indifferent. He spoke for these people purely to make Xu Shanshan unhappy.

But his momentary impulse obviously brought him trouble.

Seeing that these people's eyes were becoming more and more unfriendly and their expressions were gloomy, he suddenly understood what Xu Shanshan had asked him before. If he insisted on helping them, he would have to bear the consequences, and the current situation might be his retribution.

"Swish" a blue light flashed before his eyes, and the next second Nangong Yu felt his arms tighten. He lowered his head and saw that he was tied tightly with a scale rope.

After they captured Nangong Yu, they felt more confident. They looked up at Xu Shanshan and said in a stern voice, "Xu Shanshan, if you don't want to see your old lover die in our hands, tell us immediately which way is better."

Xu Shanshan didn't care about the threats from these people at all. She just looked at Nangong Yu calmly: "Now, do you still think they have no choice?"

"As long as it concerns their own interests, anyone can be the object of their sacrifice. These people have extraordinary abilities, but they use them to dominate ordinary people. Each of them is stained with the blood of innocent people."

In Xu Shanshan's eyes, she could see that these people all had another layer of black and red blood on their bodies. Practitioners of Taoism should have clear minds and clear spirits, but they were filled with foul and filthy energy. Even if they practiced the mysterious arts for a long time, they would never return to the right path.

"It's not my purpose to punish evil and encourage good, but tolerating evil is the same as evil. They committed the crime in my hands, and I gave them a chance. The right to choose is also in their hands, but they still went to this step."

Nangong Yu smiled bitterly, lowered his eyes and had nothing to say.

"It's my fault... I deserve it." Xu Shanshan had gotten what she wanted. She looked at the people who had held Nangong Yu hostage. When her thin lips with graceful lines moved slightly, it seemed as if there was a light flickering on them.

"You guessed wrong. In fact, there is no dead end. These are all ways to survive. If only one of you is willing to help and has a sense of justice, you can all escape unscathed. It's a pity..."

The figures of Xu Shanshan, Wei Canghao and the other three gradually faded away in their shocked sight, including Nangong Yu who was being held hostage.

When I realized the meaning of Xu Shanshan's words, all the open "ways of survival" closed again.

These people were completely dispirited and could only watch helplessly as all life collapsed before their eyes.

They knew that they would be trapped in the Yayoi Shura illusion forever.

"Oh no--"

-

When Wei Canghao and his companions opened their eyes again and were able to see their surroundings, they were surprised to find that they were no longer in Li Mansion, but were standing on the tallest red tower in Qihe City.

On the flying eaves and brackets, a tall man in a black robe stood in the wind. The dark patterns on the robe were faintly visible. He was wearing a mask on his face, revealing only a part of his jawline. A breeze blew by, lifting the corners of his clothes, but he did not move at all, like a silent sculpture.

On the second floor of the tower, Wu Yi changed into a dark purple dress. The purple makeup made her look several years older overnight. She and a team of magicians in blue cloaks set up a "Star Array" to trap them inside.

They turned their eyes again and finally found Xu Shanshan. She was standing alone and silently at the end of the corridor not far away. Under the red tower were Li Niaoniao, Feng Yan and Fan Bai, who all looked nervous.

At this time, Fan Bai's eyes were in a daze. He seemed to be attracted by something. He raised his head and stared at the man in the black robe.

"Sister Shanshan, that's my brother, that's my brother——"

Li Niaoniao ran towards the man in black robe and shouted.

Feng Yan chased after her: "Miss, be careful."

Jiashan opened his "third eye". This was not his own initiative, but driven by a certain force, and his body moved involuntarily.

What he saw this time was completely different from what others saw.

There are many lines...

Red line.

The source of these red lines could not be traced, but we could see that they were very long and densely spread all around, passing through all the buildings smoothly and unhindered.

They were interwoven horizontally and vertically into irregular web holes, especially near Xu Shanshan, where the red lines were even denser, locking her firmly in place.

Whenever she moved, she would be entangled by these red threads, making it difficult for her to move.

"How did we get here?" Chi Jiangdong asked in surprise.

He was totally confused.

Gu Yue Jiarong also took everything in calmly. Although he could not see some unusual things through the "Heavenly Eye" like Master Jiashan, he could analyze some things keenly.

"Another group of Xu Shanshan's enemies has arrived. They must have brought us here."
