826 Starting the Duel


    Jiang Ming saw the face of the person in front of him clearly. He pretended to be impatient and directly stepped forward, aiming for the woman’s heart.


    When the woman saw Jiang Ming’s stance, she suddenly became nervous and trembled. She couldn’t help but shout, “I’m going to save these residents. Don’t touch me.”


    Jiang Ming rolled his eyes and said, “Why didn’t you say that earlier?”


    The woman smiled and walked to the residents, showing them the padlock pattern in her hand.


    A small snake flew out of the padlock and swarmed the residents. The residents immediately opened their eyes.


    However, they were like puppets, and they rushed straight at Jiang Ming as if they were facing a great enemy.


    Jiang Ming could tell that these residents were controlled by the woman. He immediately opened his fan and pped these residents away.


    With this fan, the residents immediately returned to normal.


    Their eyes suddenly became confused. They opened their palms and looked at them, feeling strange.


    Where were they?


    When they saw the woman, they took a step forward and started chattering.


    “What’s wrong with you, merchant? Where’s our money? Quickly return it to us.”


    The rest of their words were mixed together, making it impossible to understand.


    Hearing the residents’ words, Jiang Ming was confused. He had no idea what the residents were talking about.


    Seeing that the residents were backing her into a corner, the woman had no choice but to retreat. She became anxious and exined to the residents, “This is my fault. Later, I will give the corresponding amount of silver to each family.”


    Xia Chenjing found it funny and could not help but smile.


    “This woman is really amazing. She deceived these residents.”


    Jiang Ming also roughly saw the current situation of the residents and felt that it was quite good. He immediately said to the residents, “Citizens, the Stone Mud Kingdom has been empty for a long time. It’s time to return.”


    At this moment, the residents suddenly paused. They remembered that they had chores to attend to at home.


    “Yes, yes, we still have to rush back to cook.”


    “I suddenly remembered that I still have some chores to do at home.”


    “Let’s go quickly. Don’t stay here forever.”


    As they spoke, the residents started to draw their own paintings.


    Jiang Ming was dumbfounded.


    When the woman saw that her tricks had been exposed, she could not help but get angry. She reached forward to p Jiang Ming directly.


    Jiang Ming also saw the woman’s thoughts and grabbed the woman’s arm tightly.


    “Looks like I didn’t teach you a good enough lesson just now. Do you want to learn it again?”


    Jiang Ming’s words immediately stunned the woman.


    “I’m just a weak woman without any strength. What else can I do?” the woman cried.


    “These residents also followed me to the painting. You saw that they can enter and leave the painting as they please.”


    The woman’s tears fell.


    Jiang Ming didn’t fall for a woman’s trick at all. He directly asked about Sikong Wuyuan’s situation.


    “How can we get Sikong Wuyuan out of your control?”


    Seeing that Jiang Ming had already asked, the woman said directly, “I have no way to remove the control on Sikong Wuyuan. If I wanted to remove the control on him, I’d have to go to the Snowy Mountain and pick the snow grass.”


    However, in her heart, the woman had other thoughts.


    In her opinion, as long as Jiang Ming left this ce, these residents would still be under her control.


    Jiang Ming was careful and secretly sealed the woman’s spiritual energy.


    “Where is the Snowy Mountain now?”


    Jiang Ming suddenly became anxious, and his eyes werepletely serious.


    The woman pointed at a corner and said randomly.


    “Do you see the mountain in this painting? The snowy mountain is exactly the same as this mountain. After leaving the painting, you have to head west and leave the Stone Mud Kingdom.”


    She was very pleased with herself.


    The Snowy Mountain was located in the Snowy Kingdom. The entire Snowy Kingdom was covered in ice. The people in the Snowy Kingdom were bossy and antisocial.


    Ning Caichen was the most suitable person to go there. When the time came, an arrogant person like Ning Caichen would definitely be taught a lesson.


    When Ning Caichen came back, she would see if he still dared treat her like this.


    She became happier and happier in her heart. Then, she pretended to be kind and reminded Jiang Ming, “You have to be careful. The Snowy Mountain has an owner. Don’t me me for not reminding you. If someone does anything to you, don’te looking for me.”


    When Jiang Ming saw this woman’s bodynguage, he could not help but find it funny. Then, he thought of something and said to the woman, “Oh right, I still don’t know your name.”


    “How did you get trapped in this painting?” Xia Chenjing also asked.


    This was what he was most curious about. Now that he saw that the only issue left was Sikong Wuyuan, he could rx a little.


    “My name is Duanli Lexuan. I was originally the most famous celebrity in the Stone Mud Kingdom. In the end, I was framed by my mother and had no choice but to go into this painting.”


    “Your mother was the cause of your pain. Why are you hurting innocent people?”


    Jiang Ming immediately understood Duanli Lexuan’s thoughts and said to her immediately.


    Duanli Lexuan’s heart skipped a beat.


    She did not expect to be exposed.


    Duanli Lexuan burst intoughter. Sheughed so miserably that tears flowed down her cheeks.


    “I didn’t expect you to find out. Ning Caichen, I think you shouldn’t leave this painting.”


    Duanli Lexuan suddenly changed her mind.


    She did not want her secret to be exposed, so she might as well let Xia Chenjing and Ning Caichen be destroyed in the painting!


    “What do you want?”


    Jiang Ming saw through Duan Li Lexuan’s thoughts. Then, he secretly took out a small ball of spiritual energy and nned to throw it out.


    Duanli Lexuan was extremely fast. She instantly split herself into many clones and moved her hands toward Jiang Ming’s acupuncture points.


    Jiang Ming saw Duan Li Lexuan’s hands and threw the ball of spiritual energy to her arm.


    Half of Duanli Lexuan’s arm fell to the ground.


    Seeing that her arm had be like this, Duanli Lexuan was furious.


    In her madness, her hair grew crazily.


    Her hair directly attacked Jiang Ming. It was trying to wrap around his neck and suffocate him.


    Jiang Ming cut off the hair mercilessly.


    Duanli Lexuan’s hair fell off inrge clumps.


    Xia Chenjing did not want to be outdone. He stepped forward and shed at Duanli Lexuan’s back.


    Duanli Lexuan was so focused on her hair that she did not notice Xia Chenjing’s actions.
