I'm also desperate.

Chapter 541 Each Fleeing for Their Lives

Ordinary people were already like this, let alone the sect leaders of those small sects.

They quickly retreated after getting their hands on various martial techniques.

Fang Yue lowered his head and looked at his right hand, fresh blood dripping onto the ground from the handkerchief wrapped around it.

From the beginning, the bizarre curse [Wu Yu] had been acting up, and it was getting stronger and stronger.

Fang Yue couldn't help but look up.

He had a faint feeling... as if this dark cloud was actually looking for him.

Withdrawing his gaze, after everyone else had almost retreated, Fang Yue stepped out of the house and ran towards You Sisi.

But he had only run halfway, not even reaching You Sisi's side, when everyone suddenly widened their eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.

"How could this be?!"

"How could he..."

"Don't come over here!"

When they came back to their senses, everyone saw Fang Yue as if he were a plague, and they scattered in terror.

Only You Sisi and Captain Wu, with dazed expressions, remained in place.

Fang Yue also stopped in his tracks, his heart sinking, and he looked up at the sky.

He saw that the dark cloud, which had been hovering over the house, was now moving with him, staying over the street.

The villagers screamed and scattered, and the Qingwei and the sect leaders of the small sects also retreated out of the range of the dark cloud, watching Fang Yue from afar.

Only Captain Wu, You Sisi, Lord Han, and Qing Chen were still in place, staring blankly at Fang Yue.

"Brother Yue, what have you done that is so outrageous? Are you going to be struck by lightning?" Qing Chen joked after regaining his senses.

His mentality was still good, but You Sisi's eyes turned red.

"How could this be... How could this be? It's coming for you!"

"It seems so..."

Fang Yue helplessly spread his hands and ran back to the house he had just been in. Sure enough, the dark cloud overhead also moved away.

Fang Yue: ...

Everyone: ...

Now, everyone could see clearly that the dark cloud was locked onto Fang Yue.

"The bizarre curse [Wu Yu]... Could it be that the Wu Yu clan's bizarre curse is starting to show its true power..." Lord Han, whose head was being held by Qing Chen, pondered.

"I don't know, maybe."

Fang Yue's expression was also a little unsightly. He felt that the hand bones in his right palm had already lost sensation. Under the handkerchief, the flesh and bones might have been burned clean...

Only the handkerchief gave him a faint coolness, allowing him to feel a little more comfortable, but it was only a drop in the bucket.

"Help him! Find a way to help him!" You Sisi said to Lord Han with red eyes.

This made Lord Han a little embarrassed.

He had never had much of a way to deal with bizarre curses and the like.

If he himself had been hit by a bizarre curse and still had his strength, he might have been able to solve it.

However, at the level of the Wu Yu clan, if he were to be hit, he wouldn't have much confidence in eliminating the bizarre curse.

Everyone showed worried expressions, looking at Fang Yue.

Fang Yue sighed, "I'm fine, at least for now. Just leave some people to watch me. Also, think of a way to help me solve the dark cloud above. It's useless to just watch me. If I hide in the house, even if the dark cloud rains [Night Rain], it won't hurt me."

As soon as Fang Yue finished speaking, the dark cloud overhead rumbled, electric arcs spreading, illuminating the dark cloud. At the same time, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking directly in front of the house door, creating a small pit.

It didn't seem very powerful, but electricity on a person would not have this visual effect.

Fang Yue stopped speaking immediately, and everyone looked at Fang Yue with complicated expressions.

If the lightning strike just now wasn't a coincidence, then Fang Yue was trapped in this house.

And if the lightning was a little stronger, destroying the house to the point where there was no place to take shelter from the rain... then Fang Yue would really be in grave danger.

Faced with this situation, Fang Yue touched his nose with his right hand wrapped in a blood-stained handkerchief, and said with a dry laugh, "It seems the situation isn't as optimistic as I thought, but it's really useless for you to guard me now. Figuring out how to rescue me is the right way."

Lord Han sighed, knowing that what Fang Yue said made sense.

After persuading You Sisi for a few words, You Sisi let Captain Wu take her Qingyi token and temporarily take command.

"I'm commanding?" Captain Wu looked strange. "Then what about you?"

"I'll stay here and watch."

Captain Wu opened his mouth, seeing that You Sisi didn't even look at him when she spoke, but only stared at Fang Yue's side, feeling a little depressed.

"Okay, I'll take temporary command."

After all, with the foundation of Captain Mo of Mocun, Captain Wu's command was still very efficient.

Since the dark cloud followed Fang Yue, and Fang Yue was in the house, it was equivalent to fixing the dark cloud in one location. With You Sisi guarding, there was no need to send someone else to guard it.

Turning this area into an isolation zone, dispersing the crowd, and then leaving some Qingwei to guard this place, the matter here was temporarily settled.

The only problem was that many villagers would look at Fang Yue from afar, like monkeys in a zoo, their faces full of curiosity.

The burning sensation brought by the bizarre curse [Wu Yu] in his palm began to subside, but the dark cloud overhead still stood above.

Fang Yue greeted You Sisi outside and tried to move out, but the dark cloud still locked onto him.

It seemed that the bizarre curse [Wu Yu] only summoned the dark cloud, and after the dark cloud locked onto Fang Yue, it no longer needed to exert its strength...

"Qing Chen and Lord Han are already researching it. They will come up with a way to save you. You will be fine!" You Sisi said with red eyes.

Fang Yue wanted to say that he was actually okay, but seeing You Sisi so emotional, he was a little embarrassed to say it.

If the people's hearts were to be scattered because of this, then Qingsi County wouldn't need to be defended. Everyone would escape together, and Qingsi County would fall without being attacked.
