Lin Lingsu seemed to be acting casually, but in reality, she was giving Wei Ning a chance. That was why Wei Ning was able to easily pass through two obstacles and escape the encirclement. In truth, Lin Lingsu was waiting for this moment.
A massive, dark net descended upon Wei Ning, covering him completely. He tried to move away, but it only tightened around him.
Li Xin laughed, "This net is a state-of-the-art product that we specially imported from the United States. It uses an eight-heart eight-arrow cutting technique; just one strand can lift an entire house. Brother Wei, this is a gift we prepared just for you at Dragon Tiger Mountain. I suggest you stop struggling and surrender."
Wei Ning felt anxious and thought to himself: Why hasn’t anyone come yet? Am I really going to die here?
He knew that Lin Lingsu had intended to capture him earlier, yet he still chose to be with her at his father's grave. Part of him still held a place for Lin Lingsu in his heart, but more importantly, he was trying to buy time.
Wei Ning wasn't foolish; he understood that Dragon Tiger Mountain had exhausted all its resources to capture him. He knew the risks he was taking by walking into danger willingly. Wasn't he just offering himself up on a silver platter?
Sometimes impulsive and brash due to his youth, Wei Ning wasn't naive.
The reason he dared to face death head-on and venture alone into the lion's den to rescue Ding Ying was because he had support.
His mother knew that Wei Ning intended to go up the mountain alone for Ding Ying and initially opposed it. However, after seeing the suffering Ding Ying endured for Wei Ning, the women of the Wei Family felt sympathy for her. After much discussion, Maid Granny made the final decision to gather all the women of the Wei Family to rescue Ding Ying.
"Ding Ying was captured because of Wei Ning; the Wei Family never owes anyone anything," Maid Granny said coldly.
After discussing their plan with Maid Granny, Wei Ning would act as bait to draw attention away from Dragon Tiger Mountain while the women of the Wei Family searched for and rescued Ding Ying. Regardless of whether they could save her or not, they would meet up with Wei Ning in the thicket at three in the morning.
Though dangerous, the plan was worth a try.
However, what no one expected was that as soon as Wei Ning entered Dragon Tiger Mountain, Lin Lingsu immediately spotted him. Even more surprising was that she returned Ding Ying to Wei Ning right away, causing the Wei Family to lose their advantage. Thus, Wei Ning had no choice but to feign compliance with Lin Lingsu, hoping that his mother and the others would soon realize he had rescued Ding Ying and follow their original plan to meet him in the woods.
Wei Ning tried his best to stall for time, but by two-thirty in the morning, he could no longer delay. The offensive from Dragon Tiger Mountain had begun, forcing him to stick to their plan and flee toward the woods.
Could it be that Lin Lingsu had seen through his plan all along? Had she meticulously calculated every detail—time, route, and method—waiting for him to willingly walk into her trap?
The earlier interaction between himself and Lin Lingsu seemed tender on the surface but was fraught with hidden agendas; both were secretly plotting against each other in a perilous game.
But Wei Ning understood in his heart that the moment he kissed Lin Lingsu, he was sincere.
Wei Ning struggled desperately in the net. He worried about himself, but even more about his mother and the others. They had not come out for so long—could something have happened?
Moreover, only a few second-generation disciples of Lin Lingsu had emerged; none of the elder-level giants like Ning Suwen were present.
Could they be...?
Wei Ning wanted to think further, but at that moment, he had no time for such thoughts. What he needed to face now was how to escape from this net.
The pursuers were closing in rapidly.
Suddenly, a peculiar sound escaped Wei Ning's mouth, and a wild dog burst out from the woods, lunging at the person running in front and biting down hard on their wrist.
One dog, two dogs, three dogs. Suddenly, countless dogs seemed to go mad in the forest, rushing out and biting anyone they saw. It was as if all the wild dogs in the vicinity had come together. In an instant, the Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples who couldn't dodge were bitten and began to cry out for help.
Li Xin, commanding from the rooftop, had a grim expression. They hadn’t had a good night's sleep in ages while trying to figure out how to capture Wei Ning alive. They thought they had calculated every possible method.
But they overlooked one thing.
The Mute Dog Technique, the most inconspicuous entry-level spell within the Exorcism Technique, was merely developed to prevent wild dogs from startling the God of Joy during the Corpse Driver ritual. It seemed utterly useless at first glance.
Yet this seemingly ineffective spell played an unexpectedly crucial role at a critical moment.
It appeared that there was no absolute usefulness or uselessness in this world; what mattered were timing, location, circumstances, and who the user was.
Wei Ning had been wandering on the mountain during the day to gather these wild dogs for cover at a crucial moment.
As the Dragon Tiger Mountain disciples cried out for help, Wei Ning began to calm down and examined the net around him. Finally, he found where it could be escaped from and quickly wriggled his way out. Without pausing for breath, he hurriedly dashed into the woods.
Why hadn’t his mother arrived yet?
"Where are you running to, child?"
At that moment, another group charged in from the side, led by Xu Suwen. Behind Xu Suwen, a number of disciples each held a silver gun aimed at Wei Ning. With a loud bang, a shot rang out, and smoke exploded beside Wei Ning.
Wei Ning felt as if his Yang Eye had been soaked in pepper spray, the pain unbearable. At the same time, his Yin Eye also throbbed faintly. Thick smoke billowed around him; despite Wei Ning's extraordinary vision, his eyes were nearly shut from the tear gas.
Just then, several more silver guns fired at Wei Ning, hitting his skin directly. Wei Ning suddenly realized that these guns were not loaded with bullets but with something resembling barbs. Upon contact with his skin, they spread out and deeply embedded themselves into his flesh. Wei Ning clawed at them desperately, nearly tearing off a large patch of his own skin, the pain almost causing him to faint.
Bang! Bang! Bang! More shots struck Wei Ning, and the ropes attached to the bullets began to retract, leaving him suspended in mid-air like a marionette.
At this point, even with Wei Ning's incredible skills, he found himself at a loss and could only resort to desperate measures.
The disciples of Dragon Tiger Mountain, who had been bitten by wild dogs, finally freed themselves from their grueling struggle and rushed forward to encircle Wei Ning. The fury in their eyes was unmistakable; their wounds spoke volumes about their predicament.
What they thought at that moment was: Shouldn't we go to the hospital and get some vaccinations?
Meanwhile, Wei Ning was left wondering whether there was still hope.
Why hadn't his mother come? Why? Why?
