Yu Jin Chang An (With Jin's Chang'An)

Chapter 32

Wu Yin took a step forward, his gaze sweeping through the dungeon. "Those who can still move, take care of the injured," he ordered. The smile that had been constantly on his face finally faded, replaced by a more serious expression befitting a sect leader.

He retrieved a steel folding fan from his sleeve, taking slow steps forward, deliberately creating a sense of oppression. This diverted all attention to him, allowing others to discreetly drag away those who couldn't move from the ground.

"Yu Can, you're misbehaving again," Wu Yin said, his fan emitting a faint fragrance. Li Shuang watched quietly from the side. She noticed that after the fragrance dispersed, the mysterious man's eyes stared straight at Wu Yin, his expression seemingly calmer than before. However, as Wu Yin approached closer, suddenly, a glimmer of light flickered in his dark red eyes.

As a soldier, Li Shuang was keenly aware of such murderous intent. She immediately shouted, "Watch out!"

But it was too late. The iron chain embedded in the wall moved, retracting from behind Wu Yin, seemingly about to strike him!

Wu Yin's eyes flickered to the side, and his figure dodged in an instant, narrowly avoiding the attack. However, he hadn't anticipated that just then, someone had helped the injured stand up. As the iron chain retracted, it viciously swung towards them.

If such force hit them, death would be inevitable.

Wu Yin swiftly threw the steel folding fan in his hand, barely blocking the momentum of the iron chain. However, it still didn't stop the iron chain from sweeping towards them.

At that moment, a crisp clang sounded, and eight long swords unsheathed simultaneously. Li Shuang leaped into the air, her sword piercing through the center of the outermost iron chain, the force driving it downward as the sword plunged into the hard stone ground.

Li Shuang stepped on the hilt of the sword, allowing it to sink into the ground over a foot deep, firmly anchoring the iron chain to the ground. While rescuing the two people, she also stopped the movements of the crazed Gu person's left hand.

"Oh, General Li, impressive skills!" Wu Yin clapped casually from the side.

Li Shuang didn't even bother to look at him, stepping directly toward the man along the iron chain. Wu Yin was about to say something to stop her, but before he could utter a word, he saw the man's other hand suddenly move, and another iron chain rose from the ground with a clatter, wrapping around Li Shuang's waist and pulling her towards him. With one hand, he seized Li Shuang's neck.

Li Shuang's face immediately turned purple.

Seeing Li Shuang's neck about to be snapped, Wu Yin's steel folding fan had been knocked away somewhere by the iron chain, leaving him unarmed. Even he dared not approach easily. He shouted anxiously, "Try calling his name to see if you can wake him up!"

The Yu Can Gu was bound to Li Shuang as its master. However, now that it had been away from its master for too long, it had become frenzied and didn't recognize people or things. Calling out to him wouldn't have much effect on others, but if Li Shuang called out, it might be worth a try.

But... Li Shuang's mind was blank at the moment.

His name?

She didn't even know what his name was, let alone his origins. Her memories of him were just the mysterious black mask, the clear eyes that always reflected her figure, his forever warm chest, and the red mark on his chest...

Red mark?

Jin'an also had one.

Suddenly, when Li Shuang felt her breathing becoming extremely difficult, and all sounds seemed to have drifted away from her, a thread of thought inexplicably connected in her mind at an alarming speed.
