After entering the city, Lu Ping, Chu Min, and Ling Ziyan all looked vigilant and spread out their senses in all directions. The three of them went straight forward without looking back until they saw a fork in the road ahead.
"Teacher, which way should we go?" Lu Ping asked.
"Uh, you should be familiar with this place, right?" Chu Min said.
Lu Ping looked at Chu Min, and Chu Min looked at Lu Ping.
"This way!" A voice came from the corner of the street. Lu Ping and Chu Min turned their heads together and saw a woman waving at them from the corner of the eaves.
"Huh?" Lu Ping's eyes lit up. This woman looked a little familiar!
"I know her," Chu Min said with certainty.
"Hurry up!" The woman was so anxious that she almost jumped up.
The three of them walked towards her, and the woman immediately turned around.
"Follow me," she said as she glanced at the street and hurriedly walked forward.
The three of them didn't suspect anything and just followed her. The woman didn't talk to them. She just led the way. Through the streets and alleys, they turned seven or eight times. After going around in circles for who knows how many times, they finally came to a secluded alley. Only then did they stop.
"What's wrong with you?" the woman said to the three of them while looking around.
"Dispersion? Am I right? " Lu Ping called out the man's name. He had thought about it carefully and checked it with Chu Min. In the end, he had decided on this name. She was a member of the Nightingale Organization and one of the attendants of the "God of Arrows" Zhong Qian.
However, Dispersion didn't seem to be in the mood to catch up with the two of them.
"How did you come in like this?" She tried to keep her voice down.
"We were also surprised. I can't believe they let us in so easily, "Lu Ping said.
"This is their plot. They want to use the execution in three days to attract us, so that they can catch us easily," Dispersion said.
"I see," Lu Ping said. With his current strength, who else in the Gorge Peak District could rival him? Therefore, the three of them originally wanted to fight their way in. Unexpectedly, the North Exit did not stop them at all. After entering the city, the three of them did not know where to go.
"So as soon as you came in, there were already people watching you," Mi San said.
"Yes." Lu Ping nodded.
"There are three on the left side of the street," Chu Min said.
"There are four on the right," Lu Ping said.
Then, the two of them turned around and looked at the empty alley.
"There's still one left," Lu Ping said.
"What?" Dispersion's expression changed drastically as he reached out to grab his weapon. However, Wei Ran, who was hiding at the corner, was shocked when he heard this. He didn't hesitate to turn around and flee.
From the North Exit, he took six people to keep an eye on Lu Ping and the other two. At first, it was very easy, but after Lu Ping and the others met up with Mi San and wandered around the city, the people following them began to gradually fall behind. In the end, only Wei Ran was able to keep up with them.
He was quite proud of himself. Chasing them to this extent was not difficult for him at all.
He didn't go too far and kept a considerable distance. He had assumed that his tracks were impeccable, yet Lu Ping had managed to expose them so casually.
'They knew I was here, but they still stood there and chatted casually …'
Wei Ran realized this in an instant and ran away without any hesitation.
But before he could run out of the street, a figure passed by him. Lu Ping turned around and looked at him.
He didn't take any shortcuts or use any special abilities. He just relied on his speed to run over the distance that Wei Ran thought was very safe and arrived in front of him from behind.
"What's your name?" Lu Ping asked.
"Wei Ran." Wei Ran forced himself to calm down and stared at Lu Ping, looking left and right with the corner of his eyes. He heard footsteps behind him and knew that the road behind him had been blocked.
"Do you know where Su Tang is?" Lu Ping asked.
"I don't know," Wei Ran answered almost subconsciously.
"Then who knows?" Lu Ping asked.
"Of course it's the City Lord," Wei Ran said.
"Oh, how do I get to the City Lord's Mansion? I forgot, "Lu Ping said. Although he had lived here for three years, he spent most of his time in Zhenfeng College and rarely entered the city. Basically, he was as unfamiliar as a foreigner.
But when Wei Ran heard this question, he was shocked. 'Does he want to directly fight his way to the City Lord's Mansion to get him? Is this kid's brain broken? '
However, this thought only flashed in his mind. Wei Ran immediately remembered that a year ago, when this group of people caused trouble in Canyon Peak City, they really broke into the City Lord's Mansion and kidnapped the City Lord's only son, who was their current City Lord, Wei Tianqi.
But things were different now. With a lesson learned, the City Lord's Mansion's defenses could be said to be impregnable. Wei Tianqi was no longer the youth who relied on his father to protect him. He was already the City Lord of Canyon Peak and a student of the Southern Sky Academy. Although the realm of the Three Spirits Connected was not comparable to that of Wei Zhong, his two Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters from the Southern Sky Academy were in the realm of the Four Spirits Connected. He heard from those who had followed the previous City Lord that the strength of these two was higher than that of the former City Lord Wei Zhong.
Therefore, if they wanted to use the same trick again, they would only be courting death. Should he take them to the City Lord's Mansion?
Wei Ran knew the City Lord's plan. He didn't want to alarm these people who had sneaked into Canyon Peak City. He just needed to keep an eye on their movements in secret. Three days later, when they acted together, he would catch them all in one fell swoop. If he acted early and alerted the enemy, it would be inefficient if a few of them ran away or scared some of them away.
But after listening to the conversation between Lu Ping and the others in the alley, Mi San, who had sneaked into Canyon Peak City first, had already seen through the City Lord's Mansion's plan. So now, was it necessary to continue pretending not to know?
While Wei Ran was still pondering, a voice came from behind him.
"It's just asking for directions. Can't anyone on this street ask for directions?" Chu Min said.
"That's true." Lu Ping nodded.
'So I'm useless now?' Wei Ran quickly made such a judgment in his mind and immediately flew toward the escape route that he had already seen from the corner of his eye.
"Don't let him get away!" Mi San shouted and rushed over, looking anxious. It was broad daylight, and the street was not completely empty. Some passers-by had already stopped to watch in surprise, which gave her a headache.
"Okay." However, Lu Ping only gave a simple reply before he dashed out.
Wei Ran leaped up and was about to jump onto the roof of the street when he suddenly felt something tighten around his ankle. When he lowered his head to take a look, he discovered that Lu Ping had already arrived below him, and he was holding his left foot with one hand.
Wei Ran immediately kicked out with his right foot, aiming for Lu Ping's head. He didn't hold back in this kick and used his Spirit Force to its fullest. If an ordinary person was kicked by him like this, their head would either explode or be sent flying.
But this time around, Wei Ran's kick hit empty air. He only felt that his body was flying, and the scene in front of him was so fast that he couldn't see it clearly, let alone suppress the force that threw him.
Crack!
Wei Ran was thrown to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. His right foot, which was about to kick Lu Ping's head, was still in the air.
"I'll leave it to you." Lu Ping waved to Mi San.
