Several mediums had successively questioned her, and Savel couldn't sit still any longer. Her usually proper demeanor began to crack.
"What on earth do you mean? One after another, you all blame me, but I really have no idea!"
Ning Yitao gave her a disdainful glance. "You should know that there's something attached to you. If you want, I can help you get rid of it."
Savel should have been happy at this moment. Someone had stepped forward and said they could solve her problem. But instead, she hesitated. It seemed that she didn't want to be separated from that thing.
Savel looked embarrassed, but under the gazes of those around her, she was forced to nod silently.
Ning Yitao had of course noticed the hand that Savel and that thing had clasped together. But she didn't take it to heart. She was still too careless in the end.
She could sense that that thing had signed some kind of contract with Savel.
This was an ancient spell. A contract was established through the intertwining of their souls. In a way, this pitch - black thing clinging to Savel was the person she trusted the most.
But this spell siphoned off the energy of the other party to nourish itself. Savel had been deceived, but Ning Yitao didn't bother arguing with her about this.
She wouldn't believe it anyway.
Savel stood up and slowly walked towards Ning Yitao. The lights followed her steps. For the sake of the variety show effect, the program crew had made the lighting look like a scene of a spiritual ritual. And the thing on Savel grew bigger and bigger as she got closer to Ning Yitao, as if showing off. It was like a guardian spirit behind Savel.
Ning Yitao thought it was ridiculous and didn't waste any words. She took out a dark - yellow embroidered silk pouch from her pocket. To everyone's surprise, when she reached into it, she pulled out a peach - wood sword!
Before the netizens could discuss how that small pouch could hold such a long - handled sword,
everyone saw her leap forward with the peach - wood sword and stab in Savel's direction. Savel's bodyguard just reacted and was about to stop her when they saw Ning Yitao throw a yellow object with her other hand. The moment she landed, the yellow object landed behind Savel. It was a revealing talisman.
The black thing revealed its true form in front of everyone. Ning Yitao struck down with the sword, separating the two who had been closely attached. With this strike, Ning Yitao had almost mobilized all the spiritual energy in her body.
The black qi that had been scattered on the ground slowly gathered into a human form. Suddenly, it was as if time had stopped around them. No one had expected that there really was something there. And it had been seen by everyone, even during a global live broadcast!
The first one to come to their senses was the director. He immediately gave the order for the filming crew not to back away and to seize this highlight of the show.
Even the just - formed black qi was a bit stunned. He couldn't believe that he had been so easily separated.
Before he had revealed his form, he could still transform into a huge shape. But the wound from the sword strike was still aching sharply. The evil qi he had used for cultivation was constantly dissipating from the wound, and he couldn't maintain the form he wanted to transform into.
Everything around him was a reminder that this girl in front of him was not to be trifled with.
He turned around and tried to run. Savel also knew that she couldn't control the situation anymore. She actually declared her stance directly and tightly hugged Ning Yitao, who was about to chase after the black qi.
Ning Yitao, being blocked, could only helplessly watch the black qi flee in the direction of the mediums. Things had suddenly become much more troublesome.
Unexpectedly, Savel began to plead. She was feeling the pressure for the first time, and it was also the first time someone had separated the two of them and made the black qi flee in a hurry.
Out of fear of the unknown, she couldn't help but bow her head to Ning Yitao in front of the live broadcast: "Please spare him. I'll give you anything you want. I can't lose him."
Ning Yitao looked down at her. Her beautiful blue eyes were already filled with tears, and her well - maintained face was covered with tear stains. She looked so pitiful.
"What a poor woman," Ning Yitao thought. She remained unmoved and neatly knocked her out with a chop to the neck.
When she chased after the black qi to the room it had fled to, she opened the door. In the empty venue, the mediums who had just finished their performances were quietly waiting for the competition results. It seemed that no one had noticed the black qi had fled here.
Everyone thought Ning Yitao was just another contestant who had just finished. But soon they noticed something was wrong. So many cameras had suddenly flooded into this room.
Eve stood up, stroking the cat in her arms absent - mindedly, and asked, "What are you guys doing?"
Sarawa, who had provoked Ning Yitao before the competition, immediately sneered, "Could it be that our Miss Ning from the Dragon Country just likes to be a show - off? She came here to add drama to herself and get more exposure."
The mediums who were on good terms with Sarawa also started to join in and mock Ning Yitao.
But she didn't care. In fact, she wasn't even listening to what they were saying. As soon as she entered the room, Ning Yitao immediately found the revealing talisman that had fallen in the corner.
When the program crew showed the contestants the replay and explained the reason, they suddenly found that there was no signal in the room. The live broadcast was interrupted. The director's group informed the mediums that the live broadcast had been temporarily suspended and they were trying their best to repair it. Only then did everyone's faces start to look panicked.
At this time, Ning Yitao had placed something like a nail around the house. The moment it touched the ground, a faintly glowing formation appeared under it and then disappeared.
The program crew had no choice but to issue an emergency notice online that the live broadcast was temporarily suspended for urgent equipment repair. The netizens were complaining.
"What's this? Why does it always stop at the exciting part?"
"Did you guys see? Is it because that black qi ran into that room that the signal is gone?"
"Great Master Ning is really powerful. The other mediums all said they couldn't do anything, but she just struck it and made it reveal itself."
"That Savel must have had bad intentions coming to this show. She even stopped Great Master Ning just now."
At this time, Ning Yitao was squatting on the ground, feeling the remaining evil qi of that thing to determine its location. Suddenly, there was a commotion behind her. She turned around to check, and suddenly a big face appeared in front of her.
The man in front of her had his head down. He had a high nose bridge. His long eyelashes cast a shadow under his eyes. His slanting eyebrows were half - hidden under his messy bangs. Under his high and straight nose was a slightly plump lip, pink like the petals of a Chinese flowering crabapple.
There was a playful smile on his lips, with a hint of naughtiness. The boy tilted his head, and the smile spread across his face. He was so beautiful that it was breathtaking. When he tilted his head, his beautiful ear with a moon - colored earring was revealed.
"Finally found you, kid. You put those nails to trap that thing in this room, right? Do you want me to help you?" Although he didn't look much older than Ning Yitao, he said "little girl" quite naturally.
Ning Yitao quietly took a step back, creating some distance between them. "No need."
"Are you really sure? It'll be quite difficult for you to trap it with the little spiritual energy you have left. If just one person moves your nail, it'll disappear without a trace the next second."
He was right. Most of her stored spiritual energy had been used up to seriously wound that black qi, and now there was very little left. The current formation could only be maintained by the few remaining wisps of spiritual qi.
She looked at this silver - haired teenager in front of her, and an inexplicable sense of familiarity welled up in her heart.
"Hiss—hiss—" Zhaocai suddenly let out a low threatening sound. It was warning the man in front of them not to have any extra thoughts.
Hearing the sound and noticing Zhaocai, the man's eyes suddenly lit up. "You finally came to find me," he said, reaching out to grab Zhaocai. But Ning Yitao slapped his hand away first. She looked at him warily. "Who on earth are you?"
