Chapter 552 Kidnapping
Chapter 552 Kidnapping
In an instant, the vacuum area where the evil-faced monk and the White Tiger Temple Master were located was completely filled with the enormous phantom of the ferocious beast, the White Tiger.
The phantom stood tall and imposing, its tiger-like might like a prison, its vast aura of killing power reverberating throughout the entire sky above the Jiang residence.
Facing all this, the evil-faced monk's yellowish eyes flashed with a sharp light. Almost at the same time that the White Tiger Temple struck out again, he also threw a punch forward.
However, this punch from the evil-faced monk no longer contained a violent and bloodthirsty aura; instead, a blurry and hazy light arose beneath his fist.
The hazy light, like surging clouds, not only enveloped the evil-faced monk in an instant, but also swept towards the phantom of the ferocious white tiger like a rolling sea of clouds.
In an instant, countless illusory scenes arose throughout the entire area, including the training ground and the stands, centered on the location where the Evil-Faced Monk and the White Tiger Temple Master fought.
A chaotic and disorderly array of scenes overlapped and intertwined, making those within them feel as if they were in a state of confusion, completely unaware of their own location.
The expressions of the Jiang family patriarch on the stands and the eleven martial arts masters standing on the training ground all changed abruptly.
Everyone, including the Yellow-Eyebrowed Woman and the Netherworld Saint, immediately activated their martial arts techniques to guard their minds and bodies from being affected by the illusory scene before them.
At that moment, the voice of the White Tiger Temple Master echoed from above the countless illusions, reverberating in everyone's ears from all directions:
"Master of the Mirage, now that you've arrived, why not show your true face?"
Upon hearing this, the martial arts masters in the arena naturally guessed the true identity of the Evil-Faced Monk.
To everyone's surprise, the master of the Mirage Tower would participate in the apprenticeship ceremony in such a way.
However, unlike the martial arts masters on the training ground, the Jiang family patriarch on the stands suddenly changed his expression and turned around abruptly, shouting in a deep voice:
"Wang'er!"
But then, Jiang Wang, who had been protected behind him, began to dissipate at an extremely fast speed.
The patriarch of the Jiang family suddenly reached out and used his martial arts true energy to completely seal off the space where Jiang Wang was located, intending to prevent him from disappearing.
However, it had no effect at all. In the blink of an eye, Jiang Wang's figure disappeared completely, leaving only a faint "Ancestor" behind.
At the same time, the Palace Master of the White Tiger Temple naturally noticed all of this immediately and angrily exclaimed:
"How dare you!"
Immediately, a blinding beam of Geng metal light cleaved the heavens and earth, directly cutting through the hazy light that was like a sea of clouds, and slashing out a crack from the countless illusory spaces above the stands, revealing the true scene of the stands.
At the same time, a hand formed from condensed true energy appeared out of thin air and then reached out to grab the stands from a distance.
However, at that moment, the voice of the evil-faced monk came from above, saying:
“The person the old man wants to take away, you, the Lord of the White Tiger Temple, cannot stop him.”
As the evil-faced monk finished speaking, the hand that reached for the air above the stands grasped nothing, and Jiang Wang was nowhere to be seen at all above or below the stands.
The next moment, a majestic tiger's roar resounded from above the Jiang residence, and a terrifying and domineering killing intent instantly enveloped the surrounding area.
Then, the figure of the White Tiger Temple Master appeared from outside the broken illusionary rift, his eyes shining with a light even more dazzling than the sun, as if he wanted to pierce through everything in front of him.
"Found you!" The indifferent voice of the White Tiger Temple Master echoed throughout the Jiang Mansion. In the next instant, his figure vanished from the spot.
For a moment, the entire training ground fell silent. The eleven martial arts masters who had been standing on the training ground looked around.
Seemingly because of the departure of the Mirage Lord, the countless illusions around them rapidly vanished, and soon returned to normal, revealing the true scene around the martial arts arena.
The woman with yellow eyebrows stopped practicing her martial arts and turned her gaze to the stands. Not only was the young genius from the Jiang family nowhere to be seen, but even the Jiang family's patriarch had disappeared, clearly having gone to search for someone.
"What's going on? That kid hasn't made a choice yet."
One of the martial arts masters in the arena spoke up, already unsure whether the apprenticeship ceremony could continue.
Upon hearing this, the other martial arts masters and elders all frowned. The current situation was already quite clear: the Jiang family's genius youth had been kidnapped by the Mirage Lord.
If they were to give chase now, it would obviously be too late, and there was a high probability that they would not be able to catch up with the Mirage Lord.
After all, the Mirage Lord was too powerful, and his divine skills and illusions were extremely difficult to deal with. Only the White Tiger Temple Lord could fight him to a standstill.
"We can wait for now. Perhaps the Lord of the White Tiger Temple can take the person back."
The Holy Lord of the Nether Sea spoke with a thoughtful expression, but the other martial arts masters in the arena clearly had different ideas.
Without a sound, several people suddenly vanished from their original spot, then turned into afterimages and headed deep into the Jiang family mansion.
Clearly, these people couldn't just wait idly. Now that Jiang Wang had been kidnapped, they decided to settle for second best and turn their attention back to Jiang Si.
Upon seeing this, everyone else, including the woman with yellow eyebrows, immediately realized what was happening.
"I almost forgot, the Jiang family has produced more than one martial arts genius."
The woman with yellow eyebrows sneered, her figure transforming into a blur of quicksand and disappearing from the training ground as she chased after the experts ahead.
The same was true for the remaining martial arts masters on the training ground. In the blink of an eye, only the Holy Lord Youhai remained on the entire training ground.
In fact, before this, he and the Holy Lord of the Underworld had already split up. The other party had already left with Jiang Si, intending to capture her and take her as his disciple.
Therefore, it would be somewhat redundant for him to follow the woman with yellow eyebrows and the others away at this point.
However, when the Holy Lord of the Nether Sea caught a glimpse of a figure sitting by the edge of the training ground, his expression clearly began to become somewhat unnatural.
At this moment, apart from a few members of the Jiang family, almost all the martial arts masters who had arrived earlier had left the area around the training ground, leaving only Li Musheng and his group.
Li Musheng, the prince of Dali, remained seated in his armchair the entire time, without making a sound.
"You are one of the five holy lords of the Yellow Springs Department? The Ghost Prison Holy Lord should have already sent a message to you, right?"
Just then, Li Musheng's voice suddenly floated into Youhai Saint Lord's ear, and he said lightly:
"I'd like to witness your Yellow Springs Holy Techniques. How long do you intend to make me wait?" (End of Chapter)
