Chapter 2765 - 2766: Found a Solution
Bai Ruozhu patted her on the shoulder. "Don’t say things like that. Nobody wants something like this to happen, and it’s not your fault. If you think that way, then since Achun attacked everyone, shouldn’t I be drowning in guilt?"
Fo Lanying gave an embarrassed smile. "Then I won’t say it."
"Actually, it’s not like we have no way at all." Tang Feng suddenly spoke.
Bai Ruozhu glanced at him and instantly understood what he was planning. His Space could take a lot of people in at once, but once he used it, he couldn’t use it again within seven days, so they had to save it for a critical moment.
"Let’s save that unique trump card of yours for when we’re truly desperate." Bai Ruozhu said.
Tang Feng nodded. "There’s also another way. We can all cover our eyes, then we won’t be harmed by Ling Chen’s special ability. We’re all martial artists— even with our eyes covered, it shouldn’t be too dangerous. It’s still better than having our Divine Sense severely injured."
"Yes, that’s a method." Ning Yu said.
Bai Ruozhu also nodded. Without her eyes, she still had hearing and smell; she could hold out.
"Then everyone stay on high alert. The moment Ling Chen appears, we cover our eyes. We can’t let our guard down." she said.
Everyone rested where they were. Yuan Licheng set up a Defensive Array, while Ning Yu and the Astrologer brothers were writing and drawing on the ground, using Yin Yang and Magic Techniques to analyze the situation here.
Bai Ruozhu kept watching Jiang Yichun, feeling a bit upset inside.
Less than half an hour later, Jiang Yichun woke up. Because his acupoints had been sealed, he couldn’t move, which was the only reason he hadn’t attacked the others, but his eyes looked as if they couldn’t see anything at all.
"Achun, what’s wrong with you? Can you hear me?" She tried to talk to him.
Unfortunately, Jiang Yichun didn’t seem to hear her voice. He looked like he wanted to struggle but couldn’t move.
Bai Ruozhu thought for a moment and said, "You guys keep watch here first. I’ll take him away for a bit."
Tang Feng knew she was going into the Space and nodded. "Be extra careful. He’s not very safe right now."
Bai Ruozhu nodded, pulled Jiang Yichun into the Space, and directly tossed him into the Hot Spring Pool.
With a wave of her hand, she opened the "big screen" and kept an eye on the situation outside.
She carefully watched his reaction. After a while, his gaze gradually cleared.
"Ruozhu... Ruozhu..." He seemed to be calling out without full awareness, his voice full of pain and agitation.
After another while, his eyes grew clearer and clearer, and he finally saw her clearly.
"Ruozhu, are you okay?" He grabbed her hand and asked, Nervous.
"I’m fine. This is my Space." Bai Ruozhu said.
Jiang Yichun looked around and let out a long breath of relief. "Something was controlling me. All five of my senses were sealed. I only just now started gradually regaining them."
So that was it? That was why he couldn’t hear her voice, why his eyes seemed blind, and why his movements were so strange—because he couldn’t control himself at all. Something else was controlling him!
"You really don’t know what you did?" Bai Ruozhu asked.
Jiang Yichun shook his head. "What did I do?"
"You suddenly ambushed us and even tried to kill me. Swinging that sword of yours like a samurai sword, hacking at me over and over." Bai Ruozhu said, not in the best mood.
It would be a lie to say she wasn’t angry at all. She was just forcing herself to endure it because she understood it wasn’t voluntary on his part.
But that incident where he stabbed her once before had already left a bit of a shadow in her heart, so she didn’t feel great right now.
"I was wrong. I really didn’t feel anything at all. All my senses were sealed, and I clearly didn’t feel myself moving. I thought I was locked in a dark Room, and you found me and brought me in here." Jiang Yichun said, aggrieved.
Bai Ruozhu sighed. "It’s not your fault. This place is too strange. I’m afraid that the moment you go out you’ll be controlled again."
"Is everyone else okay?" Jiang Yichun rubbed his Temples in distress.
"They’re fine, but we still haven’t found Ling Chen. We did hear a merfolk song earlier, a very Ancient Merfolk Song. I’m afraid that right now in the Merfolk Clan only the elders and your mother could sing it. The singer’s voice was a young woman’s. We searched for a long time but couldn’t find her, and then you suddenly came out and attacked us."
"We suspect you were being controlled by the song, and we’re even more worried that Ling Chen’s also been controlled and will come attack us." Bai Ruozhu said.
Jiang Yichun’s brows knit tightly. "Ling Chen is very dangerous."
He wasn’t saying her situation was dangerous; he was saying that her ability was dangerous.
Suddenly, that same song came from the big screen—it was the same merfolk song as before, and everyone outside immediately became tense.
"It’s this song." Bai Ruozhu said.
Jiang Yichun suddenly clutched his head. "My five senses are going to be sealed again."
Bai Ruozhu hurriedly shut off the image, and his condition immediately improved again.
"No. They’re in danger. We have to go out and help." Jiang Yichun said. "Seal my acupoints again, otherwise I’m afraid I’ll hurt you all."
"If I seal the acupoint for your hearing, would that stop you from being controlled? Let’s try it."
Seeing Jiang Yichun nod, she immediately sealed the acupoint for his hearing, then opened the big screen again. The Ancient Merfolk Song rang out once more, and this time he wasn’t affected at all.
"It worked!" Bai Ruozhu grew excited, and Jiang Yichun nodded in a hurry. At least they had found a solution.
Suddenly, a white shadow flashed outside—it was Ling Chen!
Bai Ruozhu quickly pulled Jiang Yichun out of the Space and stood together with the others.
"Jiang Yichun’s okay now?" Tang Feng asked.
"He can’t hear anything now, so he won’t be controlled." Bai Ruozhu said quickly.
Fo Lanying suddenly cried out, "Look, Ling Chen has legs!"
It wasn’t that Ling Chen never had legs, but after the white dragon’s Curse was lifted, aside from Jiang Yichun, who had half-merfolk blood, all the Merfolk had turned back into having tails, including Ling Chen.
So Ling Chen had to swim in the sea, and she felt especially uncomfortable when she wasn’t in water.
But now her tail had turned into a pair of legs, and she was moving about with great ease.
"This place is too strange. Let’s subdue her first and talk later." Bai Ruozhu said.
Suddenly, Ling Chen stopped moving. Strange, harsh words spilled from her mouth, and her eyes snapped toward the group.
"Cover your eyes!" Fo Lanying shouted hurriedly.
Bai Ruozhu quickly used a kerchief to cover her eyes. The others also took out the cloth strips they had prepared and tied them around their faces, covering their eyes.
"It’s Ancient Merfolk Language." Jiang Yichun suddenly said. He hadn’t covered his eyes; he was reading Ling Chen’s lips to determine what she was saying.
"She says all merfolk who came here must die and become fertilizer for this place." Jiang Yichun let out a muffled groan as he spoke, clearly injured by Ling Chen’s Divine Sense Attack.
Bai Ruozhu hurriedly used the edge of her clothes to cover his eyes. Taking advantage of this moment, Ling Chen suddenly lunged at her and snatched Jiang Yichun away.
"You won’t get away!" Yuan Licheng shouted as the Defensive Array activated. Ling Chen tried to escape but was bounced back.
Jiang Yichun took the opportunity to dodge away. He couldn’t see or hear, and his perception was limited, so he could only retreat as far to the side as possible to avoid hitting the wrong person.
