367: Chapter 11: The Capture of Lü Liang

On the way down the mountain,

Lü Liang and Liu Yanyan were intercepted by employees of the Na Du Tong Company.

Due to the unfavorable situation and his own lack of combat skill, Lü Liang had no intention of lingering in the fight. He drove the car, dodging attacks while fleeing frantically.

Liu Yanyan, encountering the Na Du Tong employees for the first time, couldn't suppress her curiosity and asked Lü Liang about their identities.

Lü Liang casually replied with a couple of sentences. Seeing a curve ahead, he didn't slow down and drifted through the turn.

Liu Yanyan was completely unprepared. Her whole body was flung out of the car, only managing to grab onto an edge by reflex.

Lü Liang didn't care in the slightest; his speed remained the same.

This situation stunned Liu Yanyan, and she instinctively cried out to Lü Liang for help: "Save me!"

"No matter what, I am still a member of your Quan Xing!"

"We are partners!"

However, this plea was met with a cold laugh from Lü Liang: "Save you? You don't understand... what Quan Xing truly is!"

As he finished speaking, he executed a sharp tail-slide maneuver.

Liu Yanyan immediately lost her grip and was flung completely out, her eyes filled with terror and disbelief.

Meng Li, who had been secretly following them, shook his head upon seeing this. He bypassed Liu Yanyan and chased after Lü Liang.

After Lü Liang descended the mountain and completely escaped the encirclement of the Na Du Tong employees, driving for a while on an empty road, Meng Li commanded a Flying Sword to puncture the car's tires.

The car immediately malfunctioned.

Lü Liang's expression changed in the driver's seat, and he quickly used emergency measures to bring the car to a stop.

Afterward, he opened the door and got out to check the situation. However, just as he stepped out, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, like being pricked by a needle.

Immediately following that, there was another prick.

Lü Liang tried to turn around to see what was stabbing him, but just as he turned sideways, he felt the world spin, then his vision went black, and he collapsed unconscious.

Seeing that his plan had succeeded, Meng Li directly stored Lü Liang and the car into a storage ring.

Then, while it was still dark, he returned to the manor via his sword and arrived at the secret chamber he had built.

As soon as he reached the location, Lü Liang was ejected from the storage ring.

This indicated that his consciousness had awakened.

Meng Li was slightly surprised.

The two needles he had pricked Lü Liang with were designed to seal the flow of Qi in his body and induce a deep sleep, respectively.

Meng Li had carefully controlled the dosage beforehand, yet Lü Liang had woken up early.

Was his Soul stronger than that of an ordinary Extraordinary Person because he mastered the Minghun Technique?

Meng Li thought to himself and, with a flicker of his mind,

The two Secret Guard Automatons responsible for guarding the secret chamber walked over and reached out to grab Lü Liang.

Lü Liang immediately sensed trouble. Daring not to feign unconsciousness any longer, he opened his eyes and unleashed the Minghun Technique, which was the Blue Hand, one of the Shuangquan Hands.

Instantly, two streams of blue-glowing Qi shot out from Lü Liang's hands toward the two Secret Guard Automatons.

Idiot!

To dare engage me in close combat, then taste the agony of having your Soul extracted!

Lü Liang sneered inwardly.

However, when the power of the Minghun Technique struck the two Secret Guard Automatons, it had absolutely no effect.

How is this possible?!

Lü Liang was greatly alarmed, even a bit stunned.

Ever since he mastered the Minghun Technique, it had always been effective once it hit a person.

This was the first time he had encountered a situation where it had no effect whatsoever.

Meng Li watched Lü Liang's dumbfounded expression and couldn't help but chuckle inwardly.

The Blue Hand of the Shuangquan Hand targets the Soul.

These two Secret Guard Automatons looked no different from normal people, but they were actually special humanoid Magical Artifacts—they had no Soul!

Naturally, the Blue Hand couldn't work. Even the Red Hand might not be effective, because the Red Hand targets the Physical Body, and the automatons' bodies were made of metal.

It could be seen that the Divine Mechanism Hundred Refinements, to a certain extent, countered the Shuangquan Hand.

After a moment, Lü Liang also reacted, his eyes wide: "These two people have no Soul... No, they aren't people?!"

"Bingo, congratulations, you guessed correctly, but there is no reward."

Meng Li said mockingly, his voice distorted by the mask artifact on his face called the 'Quan Fei Mask,' becoming deep and hoarse.

In addition, his face and physique had also been altered using the secret art 'Yi Rong Huan Xing' (Disguise and Transformation).

The Qi within his body had also changed from the Primordial Chaos attribute to the Yin attribute.

This was done to counter existences like Feng Baobao who possessed the ability to perceive people through their Qi.

Since the Minghun Technique failed, Lü Liang, whose combat strength was essentially zero, was completely helpless. He was easily captured by the two Secret Guard Automatons and locked in a cage.

Seeing that he was merely locked up, Lü Liang breathed a secret sigh of relief amidst his helplessness, then rapidly surveyed his surroundings.

He first looked at Meng Li. He saw him wearing a black snake-head mask, dressed in a pure black trench coat with no special markings. His hair was hidden by the coat's hood. He was of medium height and slender build, making him difficult to discern.

The two Secret Guard Automatons were similar: they wore gray rat-head masks, dressed in gray clothes, and were of average stature.

The surrounding environment looked like a secret chamber, but it was empty, containing nothing at all.

All of this left Lü Liang feeling like he had no clues.

So, he could only force a smile and probe: "Brother, did you catch the wrong person? I don't think I've ever seen you before."

Meng Li said: "Lü Liang, a member of the Lü Family, one of the four major Families in The Realm of Extraordinary People. You possess the Lü Family's Innate Divine Ability, the Minghun Technique, which allows for the extraction and modification of a person's Soul. About two years ago, you were hunted by the Lü Family for murdering your sister, Lü Huan, and subsequently joined Quan Xing."

"You are rumored to only do things that interest you. Not long ago, you extracted the residual memories from Zhang Xilin's corpse."

Upon hearing this, Lü Liang's expression shifted slightly.

Because his last shred of lucky (luck/hope) was shattered. The person before him had investigated him so thoroughly; it was clear they were after him.

At the same time, Lü Liang felt a wave of suspicion and uncertainty.

The matter of extracting Zhang Xilin's residual memories had only just happened. Currently, only he and Xia He knew about it. Xia He had been with him these past few days, and he was 100% certain she hadn't leaked the information. How did this person know?

Internally disturbed, the smile on his face became somewhat forced: "Brother, you truly possess vast Divine Abilities."

"What do you want from me? If there is anything you need my help with, just say the word. I will certainly cooperate fully."

"Is that so?" Meng Li's tone was laced with amusement.

"Of course." Lü Liang nodded vigorously, like a chick pecking grain.

Meng Li clapped his hands, and one Secret Guard Automaton brought over two small boxes and presented them inside the cage.

Lü Liang glanced over and saw three small white mice and three small cats in the two boxes, making him very confused: "What is this?"

"Use your Minghun Technique to swap the Souls of these three pairs of cats and mice."

Lü Liang: o((⊙﹏⊙)o)?
