Chapter 29

Basically Wiped Out... [基本团灭了... Jī Běn Tuán Miè Le...] is the twenty-ninth chapter of Tong Yao's Guardians of Night.

Summary
Using Soul Communication, Yan Wen telepathically communicates with Wang Shengli, informing him that his subordinates are in danger and telling him to save them, otherwise they will die. Wang Shengli retorts that prodigies like them are bound to face great obstacles in their life, and if they wanted to become outstanding, they cannot rely on the help of others every time. He adds that if he were to help them, it would make him seem like a pushover, especially since they knocked out his teeth. This leaves Yan Wen speechless.

Meanwhile, Gu Xiaohua manages to break free from all her restraints and prepares to crush Huang Xiaoyan with her hand. However, she stops upon hearing Ye Yan speak. Having grabbed her attention, Ye Yan says that he will use his last resort before stripping himself down to his underwear. Gu Xiaohua asks if he is offering his body for mercy, with Ye Yan replying that before he left the Nightwatcher family, his master warned him against causing too much trouble and sealed away 90% of his power just in case. Bluffing that his clothes were the seal, Ye Yan attempts to intimidate Gu Xiaohua by noting that with the seal undone, he feels an intense bloodlust surging through him. Gu Xiaohua appears to believe him, with Ye Yan mentally noting that if he had such power he wouldn't be wasting time in the first place while commanding his Flag Demons to escape with Huang Xiaoyan. While the two Flag Demons are distracted by their master's performance, they trip over an unconscious Ximen Guanren, alerting Gu Xiaohua and causing Ye Yan to accidentally blurt out that he was acting. Realizing that she was being tricked, an enraged Gu Xiaohua attacks him with the Star Shattering Iron Gourd.
