Chapter 187 Bait Plan

Half a month later, it was another night.

Bai Zhiqian frowned and walked out of the room, raising her head and staring straight at the sky. The moon was limited under the dark clouds and could only emit dim light.

In the past few days, she had adjusted to the best condition and was ready to face monsters at any time. However, what disappointed her was that she had been setting up formations every night recently, but no monsters appeared.

If she hadn't known that the monster appeared once a month on average, she would have thought that the monster knew her plan in advance, so it didn't appear.

But tonight, she had a premonition that something big was going to happen. Her intuition was always very accurate. At this moment, her heartbeat was even faster than usual.

She believes the monster will appear today.

She started to set up the formation again, and under Yi Yao's guidance, she took out the spirit stones and started playing with them.

"This spiritual stone..."

She looked at it carefully and found that the spiritual energy of this spiritual stone was very abundant. It was obviously of high quality and was an excellent formation material.

In addition, she is no longer a novice now, and she quickly successfully set up the formation. This is a very standard spirit-guiding formation, which can quickly gather the surrounding spiritual energy, and is an excellent formation to assist in practice.

Of course she believes it can also be used to attract monsters.

After preparing everything, Bai Zhiqian sat cross-legged in the array and entered a meditative state. She began to release her own spiritual power. With the blessing of the spirit-guiding array, she believed that monsters could feel it from a distance.

Gradually, everything around calmed down, leaving only the sound of gentle breeze blowing the leaves.

At some point, both Xiao He and Xiao Zi walked to the door. They looked at each other in silence and just watched quietly.

It all depends on tonight.

In an instant, Bai Zhiqian felt a ball of raging energy. Although it was far away, it was approaching very quickly, and it arrived very quickly.

Almost at the next moment, she felt the temperature above her head. When she looked up, a dark ball of light was already wandering in the air, seeming to be looking at her eagerly.

"Well done."

Bai Zhiqian sneered and immediately stood up to meet the enemy. But as soon as she pulled out the sword, she felt her body go weak and collapsed completely.

"What's going on..." She supported the floor with her sword and half-knelt on the ground. Suddenly, her body had no strength at all and she couldn't even stand up.

"I'm poisoned."

She suddenly reacted and looked towards Xiao He. She had only eaten from him tonight.

But she didn't understand why Xiao He did this and why he poisoned her.

Seeing this scene, Xiao Zi also reacted and immediately rushed to Xiao He's side in anger and punched her hard with her fist.

"You...why did you do this, why did you poison her?"

Xiaohe received a heavy slap, but did not resist, only showing a sad smile.

Xiao Zi suddenly became even more angry, and immediately raised her hand to hit him again, but before she could move, she felt a sharp pain in her chest.

"You poisoned me too?" she said in disbelief, "How dare you?"

She half-knelt on the ground, with a look of pain on her face, "How despicable."

"Xiao Zi, don't blame me, I... I can't help it." Xiao He struggled to stand up and looked at Bai Zhiqian in the distance with red eyes, "I just want to... live."

"Believe me, everyone will be in peace after tonight. We only need to sacrifice one person."

"Shut up." Xiao Zi stared at her and said angrily, "How can you have the nerve to say such things? You sold your own sister to survive, are you going to do this again?

?”

"In order to survive, do you want to sacrifice all of us? You are such a selfish villain, why didn't I kill you in the first place!"

She stood up with difficulty and wanted to rush towards Bai Zhiqian's position. Although she didn't know why the monster hadn't attacked yet, she had to rescue the person quickly.

But before she could take action, she was grabbed by Xiao He, "Xiao Zi, don't go there, we can be free after the monster swallows Xiao Xue."

"I would rather not have the freedom I gained by sacrificing my friends!" Xiao Zi struggled hard. She could no longer let the familiar plot play out.

Her best friend lied to her and protected her with his own life, but it also made her live with guilt forever.

Now, no matter what, she can't just watch something happen to Bai Zhiqian.

"Xiao He, do you still want shame? She saved your life. Is this how you repay her?" she scolded.

Xiaohe stopped answering. She felt uncomfortable, but she really wanted to live, so she had to do this.

I saw Lingyu slowly walking up with a group of people, and said in a cold voice, "Xiao Zi, step back, Xiao He is executing my order."

"You...you...are all the same."

Xiao Zi couldn't believe it. She never believed that Lord Lingyu, who had cared for her since she entered the City Lord's Mansion, that always bright and upright person, would do such a thing.

"You can say whatever you want, whether you scold me or hate me, I only use these methods to keep most people alive."

Lingyu looked indifferent and said in a deep voice, "As long as she sacrifices one person, we can save all of us. Isn't this a good deal?"

"It's ridiculous...it's really ridiculous." Xiao Zi mocked loudly, "Everyone of you can disregard the lives of others in order to survive. Even if you can survive in the future, so what?"

"Xiao Zi, let me tell you, sometimes for the final victory, sacrifice is necessary, always...always necessary."

Lingyu suddenly said loudly, "Everyone, please listen to me. Xiaoxue has been poisoned by the ancient poison I found. The poisoned person will be controlled by a special secret method. As long as the monster swallows Xiaoxue, I can further control it."

That’s a monster.”

"From now on, we will not be threatened by monsters, and everyone can live with peace of mind."

"Don't worry, not necessarily." Bai Zhiqian suddenly stood up and said with a smile, "Lord Lingyu is really witty. He can come up with such an ingenious plan. You can save all of you just by sacrificing me."

"This deal is really a good deal, but after the plan is successful, you... can you really live with peace of mind?"

"Lord Lingyu, please answer me, can you pat your chest and tell me righteously, can you live with a clear conscience?"

After hearing this, Lingyu suddenly fell silent.

She really couldn't do it with a clear conscience. It was unjust behavior to exchange someone else's life for survival, but she couldn't help it.

She wants to protect the city lord's mansion, she wants to protect everyone, she wants to protect her eldest lady.

But she couldn't do it at all, so she could only choose this most despicable and shameless method. No matter how many people scolded her, she would not regret it.

"Xiaoxue, it's useless to say more. Although it is too cruel to use you to raise monsters today, I still say what I said, don't blame me, I really have no choice."

"I will mourn for you every day from now on. On your memorial day every year, I will also worship at your grave and kowtow to you to apologize."

"It's better to avoid it." Bai Zhiqian showed a sneer, "I can't bear such a gift from Lord Lingyu, but... you are too complacent, aren't you?"

"Have you ever wondered why it hasn't attacked me yet?"
