Chapter 205: The Rogue Summoner
Chapter 205: The Rogue Summoner
Outside the Legacy Ground.
Jiang Yuesheng's face, cold as ice, hovered in mid-air. Behind her stood the middle-aged man from earlier, along with an old man whom the middle-aged man had notified.
The middle-aged man's attitude towards the old man made it clear that he was the leader of the middle-aged man.
However, upon arriving and witnessing Jiang Yuesheng's expression, the leader, with remarkable rationality, did not dare to approach her. Instead, he stood obediently behind the middle-aged man.
This went on for half an hour.
They stood until Li Wu finished his business inside the Legacy Ground, and everyone who had been teleported into the ground was sent out, but the leader didn't move a muscle.
Even though Kong Yi, whom they had been monitoring for a long time, was not among those who came out, and the middle-aged man beside him was growing impatient, the leader remained unmoved. He even pulled the middle-aged man back.
Signaling him to wait and be patient.
The middle-aged man was perplexed, unable to understand why they had to endure such treatment from Jiang Yuesheng.
Although Jiang Yuesheng had indeed risen to prominence recently, she was no longer just a pretty face. She had begun to control Jiangnan.
She was a genuine Governor, but they weren't without backers!
They had the Elder Council backing them!
Was there any reason to fear Jiang Yuesheng?
On Jiang Yuesheng's side, she completely ignored the two men, her eyes fixed on Li Wu.
At this moment, Li Wu looked a bit pathetic, with tattered clothes and dried blood on his body, but his spirit remained strong.
After confirming that Li Wu was fine, Jiang Yuesheng didn't say much more.
With a wave of her hand, she left with Squad 042.
From start to finish, she didn't even glance at the two men behind her.
"She just left like that?" The middle-aged man's face was filled with disbelief. "Are you just going to let her go?"
"What else can I do?" The leader sighed.
"You should have stopped her!"
The middle-aged man exclaimed, "As soon as Kong Yi's presence disappeared, she came over immediately. There's definitely something fishy going on, and now that Kong Yi is missing, we should make her cooperate with our investigation!"
The leader's patience wore thin upon hearing the middle-aged man's words.
"You're still too young. Do you believe me? If you had dared to stop her, you would have been covered in blood within moments!"
"She would dare? We're from the Elder Council!"
As the middle-aged man spoke the words 'Elder Council,' his chest puffed out slightly, indicating that this organization had given him a strong sense of confidence and assurance.
But the leader's next words made him shudder.
"Elder Council? They've killed before!"
"She...she's killed people from the Elder Council?"
The middle-aged man cowered and asked cautiously.
However, his leader clearly didn't want to discuss this topic, "Enough, let's not worry about that now. Let's focus on investigating Kong Yi's situation."
Everyone knew who Kong Yi was.
He was the most notorious and terrifying rogue summoner among the rogue summoners.
Incredibly cunning and bizarre, since he first came into contact with that thing, we've been keeping an eye on him and clashed with him countless times, and he's escaped from us just as many.
So, I'm not surprised he managed to escape this time."
"After all, with his abilities, it's impossible for him not to know we're watching him.
If you were in his shoes, knowing we were monitoring you, would you take the risk if you weren't confident?"
"Of course not!"
The middle-aged man cooperated obediently, pleasing the leader.
"See, even you have this kind of determination, let alone Kong Yi.
That's why I've been prepared for Kong Yi to slip away from us again after leaving the Legacy Ground.
It's not a big deal. He only obtained something in the Legacy Ground, not the ultimate result.
Let him run; he'll show up again to pursue that thing, and we'll keep an eye on him then."
"But I'm still curious about how he escaped?"
The middle-aged man asked a good question, giving the leader a chance to show off.
"It's not hard to deduce how he escaped.
He once cleared the Legacy Ground, not this one, but he did complete it, and he should have a Heritage Token in his possession. That's one point.
Another is Jiang Yuesheng.
He must have discovered Jiang Yuesheng's life-saving measures for Li Wu, so he probably controlled the Trial Tower first, intentionally activated Jiang Yuesheng's protection, and then released control.
With the Trial Tower's rules back in place, it would undoubtedly eliminate any forces that shouldn't be there.
He seized this opportunity to break free from our control and escape."
The middle-aged man was in awe of the leader's analysis.
"Kong Yi is indeed incredibly cunning, worthy of his reputation as the most enigmatic and challenging rogue summoner to deal with.
Only you can handle such a cunning opponent."
Indeed, the middle-aged man's flattery pleased the leader.
"Alright, enough talk.
Go and do your job. Control Kong Yi's two teammates, and go contact the other three.
As for the person Jiang Yuesheng took away, as long as they're still in Fucheng, don't bother with them.
After suffering such a huge loss, she won't let it go. The more we do, the more we'll irritate her."
She was in a foul mood, and anyone who provoked her would be in for a world of hurt!
The leader was still keen on survival, well aware that one shouldn't mess with a tiger's behind.
As for the middle-aged man, upon learning that Jiang Yuesheng had killed members of the Elder Council, he became more cautious.
He vowed to never touch that woman's behind.
After the middle-aged man left, the leader's face turned grim.
"That Kong Yi is something else. He managed to slip away from our tight encirclement so effortlessly. He's indeed a formidable opponent! But your luck ends here; next time, I won't let you escape!"
...
On one side, the middle-aged man and the leader discussed Kong Yi.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Li Wu, who had been sent home by Jiang Yuesheng, was also talking about Kong Yi.
In a 16-9-1-6-1-9-1-8-1-0-1-6-1-9-1-8-1-0 version!
It was then that Li Wu realized that Kong Yi had intended to harm Dudu inside the Trial Tower.
Li Wu was furious! His wife had already transformed into a plump young lady, and now someone dared to lay a hand on her. It was outrageous!
How could Li Wu tolerate this? He immediately clung to his Rich Lady's thigh.
"This bastard, he dares to bully our Dudu. Dry Mom, let's go and bring that guy back to feed him to Tuan Tuan!"
Tuan Tuan, hearing that he was to be fed, instantly perked up and poked his head out of Dudu's embrace, letting out a couple of squeals.
But when no one paid attention to the pig and no one wanted to feed it, it sadly retreated back into the mountains.
At this moment, Jiang Yuesheng's focus was not on Kong Yi.
"How did you give the ring I gave you to her?"
Li Wu was taken aback.
That wasn't what they were talking about, but Jiang Yuesheng insisted on discussing it. She continued to question him, "You're so smart, and you don't know why I gave you this ring? You don't know its purpose?"
"I know. This ring has three skills: Shared Damage, Powerful Protection, and Rich Lady's Power!"
It was fine until Li Wu mentioned this. Jiang Yuesheng's face turned even colder.
"You still gave her the ring?"
"I was just worried about her. That silly girl, in that kind of environment, needs protection more than I do.
Anyway, I'm tough and won't die easily. Besides, you're here. You're closer to me than my own mother; you won't let anything happen to me."
Sometimes, women are easy to deal with.
A single sentence can resolve the issue, and Li Wu's words instantly melted the coldness on Jiang Yuesheng's face.
Her anger stemmed from the ring incident, reminding her of a similar situation in the past where someone had taken something from her and given it to another girl.
So, when she saw the item she had given to Li Wu on Dudu, her temper flared.
But Li Wu's sweet words, 'Dry Mom,' snapped Jiang Yuesheng out of her memories.
She then remembered that the person before her was her godson.
From a mother's perspective, Li Wu, despite knowing the danger he was in, had given the ring to Dudu and fully trusted that she could save him.
Jiang Yuesheng's anger dissipated.
She let go of the ring incident and returned to the topic of Kong Yi.
"Besides Dudu, has anyone else seen that person?"
"No, I don't think I've seen him!"
Li Wu recalled and confirmed that he hadn't seen Kong Yi, although there seemed to be a large black rat that scurried past, but it probably wasn't Kong Yi. Why would he run in front of him like that? It's not like him to be so bored."
"I haven't seen him either!"
Lin Jianying, standing nearby, shook his head.
"I haven't seen anyone else since entering the Trial Tower."
Lin Jianying himself found it strange. Why wouldn't that person look for him in the Trial Tower when he had gone to the bathroom several times? He tried to recall, but it seemed there was no such memory.
Obviously, that part of his memory seemed to be missing.
Jiang Yuesheng had anticipated this outcome.
Her guess was similar to the leader's: Kong Yi's disappearance had two possibilities—he was either dead or had escaped.
The likelihood of him being dead was low. Kong Yi was strong, with many tricks up his sleeve, and even Jiang Yuesheng would have a hard time killing him.
So, the most probable scenario was that he had escaped, using her power to flee.
"That person is not simple. He's probably already escaped. Also, all of you should stay in Fucheng for the time being, and you, Li Wu, since you gave her the ring, don't leave her side."
Although the chances of Kong Yi making a comeback were slim, Jiang Yuesheng still reminded Li Wu.
This reminder made Li Wu anxious.
"Is that guy so strong?"
"Decades ago, he was already at the master level. What about you?"
Upon hearing this, Li Wu became tense. He had just experienced a surge in power, and now he suddenly felt like he was asking for a beating.
He felt an urgent need to become stronger!
