The four of them had been looking forward to this mission, which was to capture the disciple of the Cheng family. It had gone smoothly.
However, they would never have thought that they had caught him, but now he had become a hot potato.
Just as they were in a dilemma, the Cheng family disciple slipped away when they weren't paying attention.
"He's gone! Quick! Catch him! "Zhang Peng turned around and saw that the guy had escaped. He was shocked and shouted.
The four of them chased after him!
Although they didn't know what to do with the Cheng family disciple, they couldn't let him get away before they came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides.
Now that the guy had escaped, the Cheng family would soon know that someone was trying to sneak into the Yunfeng Tower to cultivate.
By then, the Cheng family would definitely react and the number of guards at the Yunfeng Tower would increase. They might not even have a chance to enter the Yunfeng Tower.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Suddenly, countless leaves flew in front of the four of them, stopping them in their tracks.
"Who is it?" Ji Wuping shouted as he looked around.
However, there was no response.
"Don't worry about it. Keep chasing after the guy. We can't let him get away!" Zhang Peng continued to chase.
They had been afraid that the Cheng family would find out, so they had purposely brought the Cheng family disciple to a secluded place.
Therefore, even though the guy had already escaped, they could still catch up with him if they went after him. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
However, just as they were about to give chase, countless leaves flew out again and stopped them in their tracks.
"Who is it? Why don't you show yourself? Why do you have to sneak around? "Ji Wuping said angrily.
The guy was purposely stopping them from chasing after the Cheng family disciple. If they delayed any longer, they wouldn't be able to catch up with him.
However, the person who was hiding in the dark did not respond to them even though they asked.
They had no choice but to continue chasing, but unfortunately, they were still blocked by countless flying leaves in the end.
"Who are you? Why are you stopping us again and again? "Ji Wuping was furious.
The guy refused to show himself, but he kept stopping them from catching the disciple.
After being delayed a few times, they were no longer able to catch up with the Cheng family disciple. They were in big trouble now.
"Could it be an expert from the Cheng Family?" Zhou Tiancheng looked around suspiciously.
"I don't think that's possible. If it was the Cheng family, they would've come out to rescue the Cheng family's disciple after seeing us capture them. They might even come out to arrest us. Why would they hide in the dark all this time?" Fang Ping said.
"Not necessarily. Perhaps, he knows that he is incapable of capturing the four of us with his current level of strength. That is why he dares not show himself," Zhang Peng said.
"Not strong enough? Do you know where this person is hiding? "Ji Wuping asked.
"I didn't!" Zhang Peng said honestly.
"That's right. This person can observe us, but we didn't notice his existence at all. Do you think that such a person's strength is not strong?
Can you take a good look at these leaves? "Ji Wuping pointed to the ground and said.
"This …" The three of them looked down and were shocked.
The ground was filled with gaps the size of leaves. The leaves that shot over had all pierced deep into the ground, leaving only gaps on the ground.
"If he is not strong enough, how can he have this skill?" Ji Wuping said.
"To be able to reach this level, not only is his strength strong, but his control is also very strong. Otherwise, this place would have been changed beyond recognition!" Zhou Tiancheng said.
"That's right. It seems that this person doesn't want to be our enemy. He doesn't even want to make a big move and attract attention. So, he shouldn't be a member of the Cheng family. Maybe he is also someone who came to the Cheng family to watch the battle and happened to encounter this! "Ji Wuping said.
"But if he is not a member of the Cheng family, why did he stop us?" Zhang Peng said doubtfully.
"This is the Cheng family. Many of the people who were invited to watch the battle are supporters of the Cheng family. So, they may not want us to hurt the Cheng family, or they may simply see injustice on the road! "Ji Wuping said.
"No matter what the reason is for this expert to deliberately rescue the Cheng family's disciple, we are in big trouble now.
I'm afraid we have to inform Elder Tang about this as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we wait for the Cheng family disciple to inform the Cheng family, the Cheng family will send people to investigate and arrest us! "Fang Ping reminded them.
"That's right, let's go back and inform Elder Tang first!" No one dared to stay there any longer. They quickly disappeared from the place.
However, when the four of them reported the news to Elder Tang, his face turned green.
"You are so stupid. How could you do such a stupid thing?" Elder Tang said angrily.
He had asked these guys to find out what was going on in the Yunfeng Pagoda, but he had not asked them to do so.
If it was as simple as catching a Cheng family disciple, why did they have to go through so much trouble? They were just going to catch a random disciple for questioning.
"We thought that we had wasted so much time. Wouldn't it have been the most direct way to get a Cheng family disciple to lead the way for us?" Ji Wuping explained.
"But even if you wanted to catch a Cheng family disciple, you should have at least prepared in advance and caught a disciple who had entered the Yunfeng Pagoda.
Even if that was the case, it would have been fine. But in the end, they still managed to escape. Now that the Cheng family knows about this, how are we going to carry out the mission? "Elder Tang felt like he was about to explode.
The mission this time wasn't going smoothly, so he had been worried about how to complete the mission smoothly.
He had been waiting for Ji Wuping to bring him good news so that he could leave the Cheng family after completing the mission.
The mission had not even begun and the Cheng family already knew that someone had entered the Yunfeng Pagoda.
Needless to say, the Yunfeng Pagoda would definitely send more people to guard the place. They might not even leave any gaps by the time the clock struck.
"Elder Tang, why don't we enter the Yunfeng Pagoda tonight while the Cheng family hasn't made a move? If we enter the Yunfeng Pagoda before the Cheng family makes their move, they won't know that we've already entered the pagoda.
Also, they won't be able to find us that way! "Zhang Peng suggested.
"Bullsh * t. Entering the Yunfeng Pagoda now is suicide. They won't be able to find us outside, so of course they'll enter the Yunfeng Pagoda to check. If we go in now, won't the Cheng family come and catch us? "Elder Tang reprimanded.
"Then what should we do? If we don't go in now, when the Cheng family increases their security, it'll be even more impossible for us to go in! "Zhang Peng said.
"Did you let the Cheng family disciple see your faces?" Elder Tang asked.
"No, we did not. We were masked!" Zhang Peng said.
No matter how stupid they were, there was no way they would reveal their faces.
Elder Tang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that. Fortunately, they were not stupid enough to go and catch people without even covering their faces.
That was probably the only piece of good news he had heard.
"Let's give up on the mission for now!" Elder Tang had to make this decision after thinking for a long time.
"Give up on the mission? Are we leaving the Cheng family now? "Fang Ping asked.
"Of course not. Also, what happened just now is that you think it'll be easy to leave the Cheng family? The most important thing right now is to pretend that nothing happened. Go back to your residences and act like normal. Don't let the Cheng family see anything wrong! "Elder Tang explained.
Judging from the time that had passed, the Cheng family might have already found out about the incident.
Therefore, the Cheng family would soon increase their security and even send people to search for the four of them within the Cheng family's territory.
The Cheng family was in the most danger now, so they must not run away. If they did, everything would be exposed.
"But this is also very dangerous. Even if the Cheng family doesn't know who we are, they will definitely investigate us from the spectators. When that happens, it'll be very difficult to escape their investigation!" Zhou Tiancheng said worriedly.
"As long as you don't act strangely, there won't be any danger. You have to understand that the most dangerous place is also the safest place.
If you run away now, the Cheng family won't even need to investigate to know that it's you. But if you don't run away, even if they do find out that it's you, you can still deny it openly.
After all, the Cheng family disciple didn't have any evidence, right? "Elder Tang reminded them.
"That's true. But should we do the same, wait until the Cheng family's competition is over, then leave the Cheng family with the others?" Zhang Peng asked.
"That might not be the case. If the Cheng family doesn't find anyone, they might let their guard down. When that happens, we'll see if we still have a chance. If we do, we'll try to enter the tower again.
If we don't, we can only pretend to be spectators and leave the Cheng family with the others after the competition is over! "Elder Tang said helplessly.
Although this mission wasn't very smooth, the situation wasn't that bad.
As long as they could understand the situation in the Yunfeng Pagoda, they could enter the tower at any time to complete the mission.
But now, this matter was not a big deal, but it was not a small one either.
At least the Cheng family knew that someone was trying to sneak into the Yunfeng Pagoda. Once they knew about this, they would definitely guard the Yunfeng Pagoda. The chances of them entering the tower would be very slim.
Looking at the four of them, if it were not for the fact that they might still be useful, he would have killed them on the spot.
Unable to accomplish anything, but more than enough to spoil things!
