< Today's second night watch! >
Jun Moxie took a deep breath, and sped up once again. He followed the three men at a moderate pace, and kept a distance of thirty or forty feet from them. Suddenly, his spiritual sense fluctuated, and he discovered that someone was following them from another direction. Moreover, that person's cultivation was much higher than the three black-clothed masked men in front of him …
[Could it be … someone from the Imperial Family?] Jun Moxie pondered in his heart. He didn't stop his footsteps, but he had another plan in mind …
Mr. Wen suddenly exclaimed in another direction. It seemed as if he had sensed something. But, he couldn't find anything even though he looked around. But with his powerful spiritual sense, he could clearly sense that another unbelievably powerful expert had already arrived here!
[But, why haven't I sensed anything?]
There was an open space in front of them. A few silhouettes jumped down from the top of the city wall, and disappeared into the distance in an instant. Mr. Wen chose to follow them, and deliberately paused for a moment. He wasn't worried that the juniors would be able to escape from his pursuit. He wanted to see how that person had managed to evade his observation in this vast open space.
[Even the First Great Master Yun Bie Chen can't hide from my eyes in this open space.]
But, Mr. Wen was disappointed.
He waited for a while, but to no avail. The only thing he could feel was that the powerful aura was gradually getting further and further away. Furthermore, it was gradually getting further and further away from that vast expanse of land, and he still couldn't see anything!
[How is this possible?]
[There's such a person in this world!] Mr. Wen sucked in a mouthful of cold air. But, a burning sense of heroism and lofty aspiration suddenly arose in his heart. [Such an expert … how happy would it be if I could exchange blows with him?]
Mr. Wen let out a long breath and adjusted his condition to its peak. Then, he floated down from the city wall like a wisp of smoke. The soldiers who were guarding the gate didn't know what was going on. Then, he disappeared into the distance.
…
"Eldest Brother, the fifth brother's condition is very bad. The Xuan Qi I've poured into him hasn't worked. We need to treat his injuries as soon as possible. Otherwise, I'm afraid … "Zhou Jianming's voice was urgent and anxious.
"Ye Guhan is very ruthless. My fourth brother's situation is the same!" Lei Jian Hong gnashed his teeth in hatred. His footsteps did not stop. "Although Fifth Brother's injuries are serious, as long as he is nursed well, he will recover one day. However, Fourth Brother is destined to be a cripple. Even his shoulder was cut in half and his face is disfigured. Damn that Ye Guhan!"
"I didn't expect this Ye Guhan to be so troublesome! We are five Sky Xuan experts, and none of our realms are inferior to him. Moreover, the five of us joined hands to deal with him. But, we still ended up like this! "The Third Junior Sister Fang Piaohong sighed." Fortunately, he won't be able to live! It's a pity that Fourth Junior Brother … "
"It's all because of that bitch Reimu!" Lei Jian Hong roared angrily, "Wait for me to get some information about that knife-throwing thief. I'll make that slut regret living in this world! Who cares if she's some bullshit princess! "
"It's just that we'll have to wait for Master to arrive even if we get some information." Fang Piaohong sighed, "Fourth Junior Brother and Fifth Junior Brother are seriously injured and on the verge of death. Sixth Junior Brother has no hope of ever recovering. Seventh, Eighth, and Ninth Junior Brothers are also buried in Tian Xiang. Who would've thought that this would happen?" She sighed faintly, "Master will be furious if he finds out about this. Eldest Senior Brother, Master will arrive in two days. You must prepare well. "
"What can I prepare?" Lei Jian Hong was somewhat discouraged, "I'm afraid that my father will beat me to death. I'm afraid that I won't be able to get out of bed for half a year even if he doesn't kill me this time. He brought nine fellow disciples with him, and now only the three of us are left. What kind of huge blow is this for him? It would be strange if he would let me off lightly! "
Zhou Jianming sighed and said, "I don't think any of us will be able to relax. Master will arrive in two days at the most. Alas! I can't imagine what kind of expression the old man will have on his face. "
"Master has put in so much effort for the sake of the eleven of us. Alas, I don't know how sad the old man will be." Fang Piaohong sighed. Her eyes couldn't help but turn red …
The three of them were still talking when a forest appeared in front of them. They looked behind them to make sure that no one was following them. Then, they entered the forest without any hesitation. Hit-man Jun, who was following closely behind them, also floated into the forest as if he was invisible. Jun Moxie had already realized that the people who had kidnapped Princess Reimu were the same people who had participated in the robbery of the Xuan Dan on that stormy night, Lei Wu Bei!
However, he was shocked in his heart. [The Cold-Blooded Master Lei Wu Bei will arrive in Tian Xiang City in two days?
This is big news!]
The three of them were still very cautious even in that dense forest. They turned left and right, and suddenly stopped in front of a withered tree stump. They looked left and right to make sure that no one was around. Then, the eldest disciple, Lei Jian Hong, stretched out his hand, and pressed on an unknown place. The stump slowly moved away, and revealed a large square slab of stone. Then, the slab moved away, and revealed a round hole.
However, the moment the hole was revealed, Hitman Jun disappeared without a trace and entered the tunnel. This was the safest place to go. Lei Jian Hong and the other two disciples adjusted the posture of their fellow disciples. Then, they slowly and cautiously entered the hole. After all, the inside of the hole was narrow, and the two disciples couldn't bump into each other again. However, they didn't know that Jun Dashao was already waiting for them to fall into the trap …
The tree stump slowly closed up, and the ground was restored to its previous tranquility. There wasn't even the slightest movement …
Mr. Wen had followed them all the way. He had clearly seen these people enter the forest, and hadn't left the range of his spiritual sense. However, he had been a step too late because he had to search for that formidable existence. The hole had already been restored to its original state by the time he arrived. Mr. Wen had searched the entire forest, but hadn't been able to find the whereabouts of these people. He had used his spiritual sense to search, but he could only sense that these people were nearby. However, it was difficult to determine where they were. He couldn't help but feel anxious. [This is like burning the whiskers of an old cat!]
Mr. Wen had already guessed that these people must've used some kind of mechanism to drill into the ground to hide their tracks. But, where did they drill into the ground? He would've dug them out if he had used his martial power to sweep the area. Unfortunately, that would've alerted the enemy, and he wouldn't have a follow-up plan.
[But, Princess Reimu is still in their hands if I don't find them. What will I do if something happens to her? How will I explain it to the Emperor?] Mr. Wen was in a dilemma. He frowned as he tried to think of a countermeasure.
The cave led to a huge space. The soil around it had been flattened. It was underground, and had a damp smell.
"You two — hurry up and treat the Fourth and Fifth Brothers' injuries. I'll interrogate this slut!" Lei Jian Hong said with a murderous look in his eyes.
"Eldest Brother, I know that you're angry with Princess Reimu because of our Younger Brother. But, you still need to consider your methods." Fang Piao Hong hesitated for a moment. Then, she said, "I can see that Younger Brother You Ran's heart is in great pain. I think … we haven't exposed our identities. So, there's no harm in letting Younger Brother You Ran be a good person. He can act like a hero to save the damsel in distress. Then, he can rescue this girl. It'll be a wonderful thing if he succeeds You Ran … "
"... that's fine. I won't harm her life for Younger Brother You Ran's sake!" Lei Jian Hong clenched his teeth.
Fang Piao Hong snorted. She didn't say anything else. Instead, she started to treat her Younger Brother You Ran's injuries.
Jun Moxie's heart skipped a beat. ['Younger Brother You Ran'?
That boy Li Youran won't be able to get rid of the name 'You Ran'.]
[Could it be that Li You Ran is also involved in this big incident?]
Lei Jian Hong picked up Reimu, and placed her against the wall. Then, he reached out and patted her head. Princess Reimu woke up as a pure Xuan Qi entered her body.
"You evil thief! Quickly let me out! "Princess Ling Meng had just opened her eyes when she shouted out in anger. "I want to see my Uncle Ye! Let me go! "
"Your Royal Highness, it's very easy for you to get out. You only need to answer one of my questions. Then, you'll be able to leave," Lei Jian Hong sneered. "Those throwing knives in your bosom … they're your treasures. Your Royal Highness shouldn't be unfamiliar with them, right? Honorable Princess Reimu … I'll let you go as long as you tell me who the owner of those knives is. I won't go back on my word! "
"The owner of those throwing knives?" Princess Reimu opened her eyes wide in astonishment. She hadn't expected that these people would kidnap her for this matter. "I've never seen that expert. So, how would I know where he came from?"
"Ha ha … Princess, you're treating us like three-year-olds!" Lei Jian Hong smiled ferociously, "My fellow disciples lost their lives at the hands of that man. I've never heard of the existence of such a master in the martial world before this. But as far as we know, the only time this master has ever acted was when he saved the Princess! Don't tell me that the Princess has forgotten that he saved the Princess when she was attacked by an assassin? And, that was the only time he's ever saved her? If the Princess insists that she doesn't know, then I'll have seen a ghost … "
Jun Moxie was startled in his heart. It turned out that Princess Reimu had been attacked by an assassin because he had secretly saved the Princess Reimu. [So, I've saved her, but I've implicated her?] [This grudge is very difficult to settle!]
[But, how did these people know about the connection between these two incidents?] Jun Moxie's thoughts turned, and he suddenly thought of Li Youran.
[So that's how it is!] [All these questions will be easily solved if we look at the Li Family's point of view.]
"You killed my Uncle Ye because of this question?" Princess Reimu couldn't move. She looked at him with a venomous look in her eyes. It seemed as if she was about to spit fire.
"That's right! You won't be able to leave this place alive if the Princess insists on not telling us who that man is! " Lei Jian Hong grinned in a low voice, "I'll use other means to make the Princess speak if the Princess doesn't intend to speak!"
Jun Moxie urgently thought of a countermeasure. He had approached Princess Reimu a moment ago. He had thought that he could take the Princess Reimu into the Hong Jun Pagoda, and then disappear without a trace. But, he had tried several times in a row, and it had been to no avail. [It seems that no one else can enter the Hong Jun Pagoda … except me? Or is it because my cultivation isn't at that level?]
However, Jun Moxie's wishful thinking had been shattered since this method wasn't feasible. After all, he wouldn't have to worry about anything if he could take the Princess into the Hong Jun Pagoda. He was confident that he would be able to take advantage of the chaos. In fact, he would be able to get rid of those who were already injured.
However, rescuing Princess Reimu at this moment was already a very good idea. [These people are Tian Xuan's experts. I'm afraid that I'll suffer a big loss if I reveal my whereabouts.]
Lei Jian Hong pinched Princess Reimu's chin, and forced her to raise her head. Then, he fiercely asked, "I'll ask you one last time. Are you going to tell me or not? I'll have no choice but to offend the Princess if you insist on being stubborn! "
Suddenly, a sneer was heard. Then, a strange and cold voice sounded from Lengleng, "So, Lei Wu Bei has taught these pieces of trash? What Cold-Blooded Master? That's ridiculous! "
The voice hadn't even faded when a blue light shone brightly in the dark. A small throwing knife suddenly materialized out of thin air. It carried a dreamy color as it slowly flew through the air. Everyone's faces were reflected in an azure blue color.
Thud!
The throwing knife pierced the muddy wall, and issued a sound as if it had pierced through rotten wood.
The three people jumped up at the same time. Lei Jian Hong covered his chest with his palms and shouted, "Your Excellency has arrived. Why are you hiding? I've been waiting for you for a long time! "
Zhou Jianming and Fang Piao Hong unsheathed their swords at the same time. They held their swords horizontally across their chests, and looked around as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
A faint voice sneered, "You juniors think you can challenge me? You're overestimating your capabilities!"
Princess Reimu's eyes were filled with excitement as tears rolled down her cheeks. She struggled to ask, "Senior … is that you? I beg you! I beg you … take me to see my Uncle Ye! I beg you to kill them and take revenge for my Uncle Ye! "
The commotion underground was very loud. Lei Jian Hong's roar could be heard from several kilometers away. So, Mr. Wen was able to sense it from the outside.
He had been paying close attention to the slightest movement in this place. And, Lei Jian Hong's roar had undoubtedly provided him with the best direction. He saw Mr. Wen jump like a gust of wind, and arrive at the cave's entrance. Then, he continued to hold his breath and listen attentively. Everything would be under his control as long as he could find the hiding place of those people.
However, Lei Jian Hong and the other two had discovered something extremely shocking. In fact, it could be said that it was a terrifying and astonishing scene.
Princess Ling Meng's slender body that was leaning against the wall suddenly floated up into the air. She remained floating in the air for a moment before shooting out like an arrow from a bowstring with a 'shua' sound!
Lei Jian Hong was alarmed. He threw himself forward, but he was a step too late. Jun Moxie had launched the Yin-Yang Escape at an extremely fast speed. Jun Moxie and Princess Reimu had already broken through the stone slab by the time Lei Jian Hong had made his move. Suddenly, there was a burst of bright light under the stone slab.
Lei Jian Hong and the other two men bellowed in anger. They then pounced after Jun Moxie.
Mr. Wen was pacing back and forth next to the stump. He was hesitating whether he should break through the underground barrier to rescue Princess Reimu … or wait a little longer. Suddenly, he heard a loud noise. It was like a landslide or a tsunami. The stone slab under his buttocks had been smashed into smithereens. The explosion had caught Mr. Wen off guard, and had caused him to fall down. He was about to open his mouth to ask when he saw a graceful body in front of him. It was Princess Reimu's delicate body.
Then, three black-clothed and masked men rushed out one after the other. They surrounded him in a triangular formation. One of them roared, "You old bastard! You're hiding! You're hiding! Why aren't you running away? You're playing tricks on us! Let's see where you'll run to this time!"
Mr. Wen had just reached out to hold Princess Reimu when he realized that he had fallen into the encirclement. He couldn't help but complain.
