The figure was masked in black, tall and straight. Like a ghost, he had appeared on the wall of the yard in the dusk.
The moment he appeared, before anyone had noticed, he raised his right hand abruptly. Countless rays of cold light shot out like the petals of a celestial maiden. At the same time, he hollered, "Chu Tianlang!"
Chu Tianlang turned his head at the sound, his spirits lifted immediately.
Although he didn't know what was going on, he instinctively realized that his reinforcements had arrived.
Chu Tianlang was not the only one who had realized it, everyone present had as well.
However, the hundreds of hidden weapons that the man in black had shot out earlier had injured many of them. The rest of them were flustered as well.
In the blink of an eye, the person on the wall shook his hand and a rope flew out like a swimming dragon. Before anyone could react, it was already in front of Chu Tianlang.
"Catch him!"
Without the need to shout, Chu Tianlang had already rushed forward and grabbed the rope. The person on top of the wall exerted his strength and Chu Tianlang's body floated up into the air.
The person on top of the wall had already disappeared.
Chu Tianlang was like a large kite suspended in the air with a rope below him. The person pulling the rope was running forward in a frenzy.
The last ray of light from the horizon had finally fallen. Night had finally come.
"Chase!"
Ximen Wanli almost crushed his teeth from gritting them.
Just as they were about to succeed, someone had appeared to disrupt their plans!
Everyone sprung up at the same time and flew to the top of the wall. Chu Tianlang was still floating in the air amidst the approaching dusk while the person below was pulling on the rope with all his might, sprinting towards the forest ahead like a flash of lightning.
"Stay!"
Beams of sword light shot out as hundreds of silhouettes gave chase with all their might. However, these people were exhausted from the battle while the person was waiting at ease, pulling further and further away from them.
By the time the group reached the edge of the forest, they had completely lost track of Chu Tianlang and the mysterious person.
Once these two people had entered the forest, they were like water droplets falling into the ocean, vanishing immediately.
"Search carefully!"
Ximen Wanli's expression was grim.
"Place a few more people on the treetops and keep a lookout in all directions! Once there's any trace, sound the alarm immediately. "
"Yes!"
…
He had just entered the forest.
Chu Tianlang felt his body plummet in a straight line as the person below caught him. Just as Chu Tianlang was about to speak, he felt himself still falling.
It turned out that there was actually a tunnel under the fallen leaves. In a flash, the two of them had already entered the tunnel. Then, there was a silent flip above them, and countless fallen leaves once again covered the place.
In the tunnel, the mysterious man pulled Chu Tianlang along as he sprinted forward.
"Who are you? You saved my life … "
Chu Tianlang was panting.
"Don't speak." A slightly aged voice said hurriedly, "Chu Tianlang, remember this clearly. The risk this time is too great. The other party is one of the Four Great Clans, and they are very powerful. If we don't use this tunnel, we will definitely be caught. "
"So, after we get out of the tunnel, I will think of a way to distract some of the pursuers. As for you, immediately head in the direction of Jadeite Bamboo Mountain. It's only a dozen or so li away. Even if you run out of breath, you must enter Jadeite Bamboo Mountain. There will be someone there to receive you. Got it? "
Chu Tianlang's heart skipped a beat. "Got it. Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am." The mysterious man said, "The exit is right in front. You must be prepared immediately. "As he spoke, he took out a pill from his robe and stuffed it into Chu Tianlang's mouth.
"This can help you unleash your potential. Chu Tianlang, it's up to you whether you live or die now. "
The tunnel had come to an end.
"Begin!"
With a stretch of his hand, the layer of soil above flipped up soundlessly as he pulled Chu Tianlang along and flew out. With a push of his right hand, he sent Chu Tianlang flying. "Run!"
Chu Tianlang realized at once that he was facing the direction of Jadeite Bamboo Mountain. The other party's push had allowed him to float hundreds of feet away without much effort.
He stooped down immediately, holding his breath as he sprinted in the direction of Jadeite Bamboo Mountain.
Turning his head urgently, he saw the mysterious man sprinting in the opposite direction. There was a long rope in his hand, and there was a human silhouette above the rope. It was like he was flying a kite as he sprinted thousands of feet away.
Chu Tianlang heaved a sigh of relief.
Frantic shouts came from behind, "Over there! Over there! He's still floating on the rope! Go after him! … "
A portion of the people gave chase in a frenzy.
There were also people standing on the treetops or watching from the sky who had spotted Chu Tianlang who was running in the opposite direction.
"There's one over there too!"
"They've separated … one of them must be fake!"
"Split half of the people over there!"
Chu Tianlang sprinted forward, sticking close to the ground. He could feel his heart beating faster and faster, his mind growing dizzier as he felt like he could no longer hold on.
He held on forcefully, suppressing the pressure that was threatening to burst his heart as he charged into Jadeite Bamboo Mountain.
His pursuers were getting closer and closer.
Just as he dashed into the mountain, he could no longer hold it in and fell to the ground.
Yun Yang had been waiting here for a long time. He grabbed Chu Tianlang and said in a low voice, "Don't make a sound."
With a flip of his body, a hole appeared beside him.
Both of them tumbled downwards. At the same time, Yun Yang stomped his foot upwards and the hole disappeared.
The hole was hundreds of feet deep. There seemed to be an exit in the distance, glowing faintly.
The moment they reached the bottom, Yun Yang stretched out his hand and grabbed. A hole about a man's height from the bottom appeared. He grabbed Chu Tianlang and dashed into it.
Then, the hole disappeared.
After entering, Yun Yang raised his palm and struck the back of Chu Tianlang's head. Chu Tianlang fainted without a sound. Yun Yang dashed in with his body. As he dashed in, the outer layer of soil fell continuously, covering the hole completely.
The hole curved upwards and stopped about ten feet away from the ground. At this point, Yun Yang was already exhausted. However, he took in a deep breath and turned into a cloud of mist.
One was unconscious while the other had turned into a cloud of mist, soundless.
After a round of searching, the pursuers finally found a hole that led downwards among the rocks. Without hesitation, they gave chase, whistling all the way out from the other exit of the hole.
Shouts and shouts rang out continuously. Finally, after another quarter of an hour, there was no sound.
Yun Yang did not relax, he remained motionless.
After another hour, he finally recovered from his cloud form. Taking in a deep breath, he allowed Emmie to send a breath of vitality from his subconscious to relieve the pressure on him. Then, he turned into a cloud of mist again.
Another four and a half hours had passed. It was already the second half of the night when Yun Yang finally appeared on the ground carefully with Chu Tianlang in his hand.
The night breeze blew, it was cold and cheerless.
Obviously, the people from the four noble families had left.
Yun Yang heaved a sigh of relief. Looking down, he saw that although Chu Tianlang was unconscious, his expression was relaxed, like a burden had been lifted from his shoulders.
It was obvious that he was thankful that he had escaped with his life.
A cold smirk hung on the corners of Yun Yang's lips.
Relaxed?
Very soon, you'll realize that you'd rather be killed by Ximen Wanli and the other four noble families than fall into my hands.
Yun Yang walked for a distance with extreme caution. The sound of wheels rumbling could be heard from afar. Lao Mei had reverted to his original appearance and was driving a carriage over.
On top of it were bags of goods.
Yun Yang stuffed Chu Tianlang into a big bag and placed him on the carriage, using a few more bags of goods to hold him down. Yun Yang then turned and left.
Lao Mei drove the carriage leisurely all the way to the city gate.
Along the way, he came across people from the four noble families who were frantically searching for something like headless flies. They did not realize that their target was right under their noses, sitting in a carriage and entering Tiantang City!
The carriage passed, leaving a trail of medicinal fragrance.
Inside were all genuine medicinal herbs.
…
Ximen Wanli and the rest wore grim expressions. Looking at the Manor of Sirius that was in shambles, they were enraged.
Everyone had been killed but only the most important person, Chu Tianlang, had escaped!
It was a complete waste of effort.
"Young master, we've found Chu Tianlang's treasury," a subordinate reported.
"Treasury?" The young masters' eyes shone.
Even Ximen Wanli, who was in a fit of rage, turned his head to look.
"How much good stuff is there?" Ximen Wanli asked in a reserved manner.
"Good stuff … there's a lot of it." The subordinate was visibly excited. He had not expected that a mere Manor of Sirius would have so much wealth and so much good stuff.
Without waiting for a reply, the few young masters turned and walked away in unison.
"Brother Ximen, this wealth …"
"Divide it equally." Ximen Wanli's expression did not change.
"This isn't appropriate, is it? We're all here to help you, yet you want to divide it equally with us? "
"Our Ximen family has suffered the most this time. It's still a loss to divide it equally with everyone else …"
"Nonsense! This is your family's matter. You have lost many people, don't tell me we haven't? Besides, it's only right that someone from your family died, but those from our family are innocent … "
"F * ck you! What do you mean by it's only right that someone from my family died? Do you f * cking know how to speak like a human? "
"Why? Isn't that the case? Ximen Wanli, what do you want? Tell me! Make it clear first, I won't do anything less! "
"Hmph …"
The four noble families quarreled over how much they should divide the loot. However, it was only a quarrel and would not escalate to the point of fighting. After a bout of argument, Ximen Wanli had no choice but to compromise.
"After a clear count, the Ximen family will take twenty percent. The remaining eighty percent will be divided among the three families. How about that?"
"That's more like it …"
"However, whoever sees Chu Tianlang in the future, don't forget to capture him. He's our common enemy now. "
"Of course! Haha … "
Everyone was happy.
At this time, Lao Mei had already driven his carriage into Tiantang City and into the Residence of Yun.
