Chapter 562: Five Hundred Sixty-One, Ambush
Song Yan Ning softly withdrew her gaze and walked towards the mountain gate with Qin Yushen and Elder Mie Yu. Fang Yanran had brought it upon herself; no one else was to blame.
Once they left Tianyi Gate, the three of them sensed a dangerous aura. They continued down the mountain without any outward reaction.
People hiding in the shadows saw Song Yan Ning and her companions enter the array they had set up, and their lips curled slightly upward. They had been guarding this spot for days, ready to trap any disciple that came out from Tianyi Gate using the array and then capture them. Their plan was to use these disciples to negotiate with Tianyi Gate for the release of their captured elders and disciples.
As Song Yan Ning and her companions reached the middle of the array, one of the men hurriedly activated it. Although this array was not lethal, injuries were inevitable.
However, as the array activated, there was no movement inside it at all.
The people looked at each other in confusion. Could it be that these three were just novice cultivators who had been killed upon entering the array? Indeed, the array would not take the life of a cultivator, but both novice cultivators and ordinary people who had never cultivated would certainly lose their lives if they entered it.
Just then, the array fluctuated and then disappeared without a trace.
Song Yan Ning and her companions stood unharmed, looking at the shocked faces of the several people.
"Are you... also array masters?" one of them managed to ask after regaining his composure.
"Which sect are you from?" Qin Yushen asked in a calm voice, his strong presence making the other group sweat profusely.
"We... we are disciples of the Qingyue Sword Sect, and we only did this hoping that Tianyi Gate would release our captured elders and disciples."
