"Li Sang!"
Yi Ding shouted excitedly, his eyes filled with surprise and pain.
Jiang Chen also looked over at the newcomer. It was indeed Li Sang, dressed in a white long dress.
Not a ghost, but a physical body!
She scanned the crowd with a cold expression, finally fixing her gaze on Jiang Chen. "Adventurer, you promised me you'd kill Yi Ding. Why haven't you done it yet?"
"I promised Li Sang. Who are you?"
Jiang Chen pursed his lips indifferently.
Because.
He saw the information about the other party.
[Controlled Li Sang: LV15 (Silver Level Elite)]
[Soul Shake: After a 2-second seal, it can deal 100 true damage to any target within 20 meters and control the target for 10 seconds. Cooldown: 40 seconds.]
A level 15 Silver Level Elite, estimated to have around 10,000 health points.
Can he take her down within the 2-second seal time?
This strange skill made Jiang Chen somewhat cautious.
"If I trigger double damage, I can kill her. If not... I shouldn't be that unlucky, right?"
Jiang Chen was still pondering.
"Who says I'm not Li Sang, dear adventurer?"
Li Sang suddenly spoke, her expression gentle and soft.
But then, she quickly changed her face, laughing wildly, "Hahaha... Do I look like her? Do I?"
"Stop humiliating Li Sang's body!"
Yi Ding's angry voice rang out, veins bulging as he questioned, "Who the hell are you?"
"Enough... Die, all of you!"
Li Sang suddenly shook her head, then raised her hands as if to make some strange gesture.
"Is it coming?"
Jiang Chen's eyes narrowed, preparing to activate his skill.
"Brother Mortal World, don't hurt her, that's Li Sang's body!"
Yi Ding suddenly shouted, blocking Jiang Chen.
In that brief moment of hesitation.
Jiang Chen saw a floating, semi-transparent figure suddenly appear and pounce on Li Sang.
"Run!"
The narrative has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the infringement.
The semi-transparent figure tangled with Li Sang, a desperate shout echoing.
"Li Sang?"
Jiang Chen was slightly stunned. The semi-transparent figure was also Li Sang.
Or rather, a half-ghost state of Li Sang.
"You still have the strength to break free from control, you wretched thing, let go of me!"
The physical Li Sang grabbed the ghostly Li Sang by the neck, pressing her to the ground and snarling viciously.
"Run!"
The ghostly Li Sang clung tightly to the physical Li Sang's wrist, screaming towards Yi Ding.
"Li, Li Sang..."
Yi Ding was dumbfounded, staring at the ghost on the ground, eyes wide open, tears streaming down.
"Let's go!"
Jiang Chen looked at Yi Ding, pointing at Li Sang's body, and quickly said, "If you don't leave, I'll have to kill her!"
"No, don't kill her!"
Yi Ding snapped back to reality, quickly saying, "I'll take you to Leaving Fire City to find the Lord!"
Wiping his tears, Yi Ding walked towards the spatial ripple with a sorrowful expression.
Jiang Chen immediately followed.
Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao followed closely behind.
During this time, they heard an angry shout, "Let go of me, you bitch!"
Then.
Jiang Chen passed through the spatial ripple, arriving on the red land outside.
He looked at Yi Ding and immediately asked, "You just said you could take us back to Leaving Fire City?"
"No, not you all."
Yi Ding glanced at Qing Ying and Tao Xiaoyao, hoarsely saying, "Just you. I can only send you to Leaving Fire City."
"No problem!"
Jiang Chen's eyes lit up with joy.
"Let's hurry, the sooner we find the Lord, the better chance we have of saving Li Sang!"
Saying this, Yi Ding quickly walked ahead.
Jiang Chen followed closely behind.
They walked on the red land, arriving at a desolate area filled with discarded stones.
"What's this place?"
Jiang Chen saw strange, incomplete patterns painted under the discarded stones.
"This is a teleportation array that has been abandoned for over a hundred years. Back then, the Scarlet Flame Ancient Land wasn't barren, and it was connected to Leaving Fire City."
"But after sealing the Demon God Aini here, to prevent evildoers from entering the Scarlet Flame Ancient Land, the teleportation array was deliberately destroyed."
"Since then, the Scarlet Flame Ancient Land has become an abandoned place."
Yi Ding explained while moving the stones on the ground.
Soon, after placing eight stones in various directions, he connected some of the incomplete patterns on the ground.
"You know how to repair teleportation arrays?"
Seeing Yi Ding's actions, Jiang Chen was astonished.
"I used to work on the main city's teleportation array maintenance when I was a soldier in Leaving Fire City, so I know a bit."
Yi Ding explained.
He then took out a fingernail-sized transparent crystal from his pocket.
"I don't know if the energy in this magic energy crystal is enough to sustain one person's teleportation. Let's hope the Gods bless us!"
Yi Ding placed the magic energy crystal in the center of the teleportation array's pattern, then quickly said, "Brother Mortal World, step on it, I'll send you to Leaving Fire City!"
"Okay."
Jiang Chen nodded and immediately stood on the small teleportation array.
Then he sent a voice message in the team channel, "Qing Ying, Xiaoyao, don't let this guy die. Contact me immediately if anything happens."
"Okay!"
"Got it!"
The two girls nodded in agreement.
Then.
Yi Ding placed his hands on the edge of the teleportation array.
A faint light emitted from his hands.
The light gradually illuminated the patterns on the teleportation array.
At the same time, the magic energy crystal also began to glow faintly.
In an instant.
The patterns on the teleportation array shone brightly!
"Goodness, he really knows magic?"
Jiang Chen couldn't help but exclaim in amazement as he watched Yi Ding.
"It must succeed!"
Yi Ding gritted his teeth, continuously channeling the faint light from his hands into the teleportation array.
His face turned pale, sweat beads forming on his forehead.
The patterns on the teleportation array grew increasingly bright.
Suddenly!
A beam of white light shot up, forming a pillar of light!
The beam of light quickly contracted towards Jiang Chen.
Soon, the beam of light shrank into a thin line.
Jiang Chen's figure disappeared along with the thin line.
"Please, make sure to give the glass bottle to the Lord and tell him what happened here!"
Yi Ding's weak voice echoed.
……
[You have been teleported to Leaving Fire City!]
Jiang Chen's vision blurred, and he appeared on the main city's teleportation array in Leaving Fire City.
Magnificent buildings made of white jade appeared in his sight.
Around him, white lights kept flashing, indicating other players.
"Lord Yan Changfeng..."
Jiang Chen muttered softly, then headed straight for the main city's mansion.
Soon, he arrived at the Main City Square.
At the end of the square stood a seven-story building.
Jiang Chen quickly walked over and entered the mansion.
Climbing the spiral staircase, he reached the fifth floor, standing before a large door.
This was the Lord's office.
The door was open.
Jiang Chen quickly walked in.
At the end of the room was a long wooden table.
In front of the table sat a dignified middle-aged man.
He wore a dark red robe, his appearance imposing, exuding a natural authority.
He sat in the chair, holding an ancient black book in his left hand, reading it carefully.
His right hand was slightly open, with two glowing orbs floating above it, intertwining.
One orb was red, emitting an extremely scorching aura, distorting the surrounding air.
The other orb was light blue, exuding an opposite, extreme coldness, with wisps of white frost rising.
This man was the Lord of Leaving Fire City, Yan Changfeng.
"Lord Yan!"
Jiang Chen walked straight up.
"Adventurer from another world."
Yan Changfeng's gaze left the book, falling on Jiang Chen. "What brings you here?"
Jiang Chen placed the [Filled Glass Bottle] from his backpack on the table, saying in a deep voice, "The Scarlet Flame Ancient Land has been infiltrated by a Demon God, it's in grave danger!"
"What did you say?!"
Yan Changfeng stood up abruptly, the red and blue orbs in his hands dispersing instantly.
The room was immediately filled with two completely different elemental energies.
At the same time, a scorching aura invaded Jiang Chen's right side.
And an extreme cold aura invaded his left side.
-200
-200
Two damage numbers appeared almost simultaneously above Jiang Chen's head.
"???"
Jiang Chen was utterly confused, blurting out, "wdnmd!"
