[MXTX] Three Times the Love

Chapter 32 - Your Kindness Will be Rewarded

People had gone to Lotus Pier for protection.

There, Jiang Cheng, Lan Xichen, and Wen Ning had guarded the entrance to Lotus Pier. They would let people take shelter inside, while killing fierce corpses. Despite that the guard disciples had been hypnotized to sleep, the two Clan Leaders and Wen Ning were able to work productively.

"Why are there so many fierce corpses?" Jiang Cheng snarled.

His whip, Zidian, let out a few sparks before whipping a fierce corpse's head off.

Lan Xichen was contemplating that question, while pulling out his sword, Shuoye to cut at the fierce corpse's limbs. Meanwhile, Wen Ning helped bind the fierce corpses with his chains. The three cultivators cooperated well.

"There are indeed more fierce corpses than expected." Lan Xichen sighed.

He directly decapitated a fierce corpse, letting it fall at his feet.

"What should we do?" Wen Ning asked, his voice containing a hint of politeness. He leaped backwards, avoiding a blow to the head by another fierce corpse. Then, Wen Ning threw his chains, tying the fierce corpse down. Jiang Cheng slashed the fierce corpse's head off.

The pair used to never get along. However, surprisingly, once they must work together, they will cooperate.

"What else?" Jiang Cheng spat. "Continue to fight."

Inside Lotus Pier were the asleep Yunmeng Jiang disciples, and a bunch of citizens. To sum it all up, Lotus Pier has become a safe zone, while outside has become the definition of the apocalypse.

The purple whip, Zidian had continued to thrash and slash at the fierce corpses.

Wen Ning continued immobilizing them, with Lan Xichen's swordsmanship as the final touch.

"Brother!" All of a sudden, a familiar voice had piped in the battlefield. In came the three couples, with a captured Yi Ran dragged alongside the floor. Lan Zhan had seen the amount of fierce corpses, which blindly struggled against their swords.

He drew Bichen, cutting down the fierce corpses in his way.

"You've... captured the perpetrator?" Lan Xichen looked at Yi Ran, who was frantically clawing at the pavement, to prevent herself from descending further into their hands.

"I'M NOT!" Yi Ran put up a last struggle. "I'M AN INNOCENT BYSTANDER! I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!"

Lan Xichen looked through her like transparent glass. He sighed, "It seems like you guys truly have caught the perpetrator. However, I didn't expect it to be a girl."

"I'M A WOMAN! NOT A GIRL!" Yi Ran seethed.

Jiang Cheng shot a look at her. He seemed to be contemplating something.

"Clan Leader Jiang," Lan Xichen looked over at him. "Your orders?"

Jiang Cheng sighed. He kneaded a hand at his temples, "Retreat."

The doors to Lotus Pier had been boarded shut. Several fierce corpses attempted to invade, but, they couldn't get past. Inside Lotus Pier, the people shuddered with fear, as the sound of pounding doors had resounded through the entire building.

Inside the Clan Leader's office, were Jiang Cheng and Yi Ran.

"Tell me, what were your plans?" Jiang Cheng interrogated.

Sprawled on the floor was Yi Ran, who was bound by Ruoye. She pursed her lips, deciding to stay silent. There was a definite anger sparkling in her eyes.
