"Just what's going on here?"
The torrential rain pelted down on his face like lead pellets. As An Yaluoshan galloped through the rain, his horse left a long trail of white water behind him.
The galloping of hooves behind him continued without end, each sound hammering against An Yaluoshan's heart. It had been a long time since An Yaluoshan had experienced the feeling of being pursued.
This group of people was menacing and vicious to the extreme. An Yaluoshan was well aware that if they caught up to him or delayed him in the slightest, only death would await him.
This intense sense of danger made An Yaluoshan's scalp go numb and his entire body feel like it was about to explode. The divine Ferghana horse he had obtained from Youzhou was already moving at its fastest speed, but An Yaluoshan didn't feel the slightest bit of distance between them.
There was no doubt that this opponent's steed was of the same level as his!
This made An Yaluoshan feel even more uneasy.
But all this danger and unease could not compare to a single thought in An Yaluoshan's mind.
Just why was this happening?
There were so many people in Drunken Sparrow restaurant, so why was that Han youth from the capital only targeting him? He was also the least famous of the Four An brothers, so why was everyone else ignoring him and only chasing him?
More importantly, An Yaluoshan couldn't understand. From Youzhou to here, he had always been low-key, obedient, and lived with his tail between his legs. He had never done anything that was out of line.
Why was that youth ignoring everyone else and only bringing so many people to chase him?
An Yaluoshan knew that he had never met this youth, so he naturally didn't have any grudges with him. But those hateful, bloodshot eyes wouldn't lie.
For a moment, An Yaluoshan had to admit that he had been frightened. This was no longer some ordinary loathing or hatred. It was a blood feud.
Thus, the moment his sworn brother An Wenzhen had been cut down, An Yaluoshan had immediately fled. He had a very bad feeling. If he had been just a little slower, he would have never been able to escape.
"Just who is that youth? Just when did I have a grudge with him? Youzhou? Impossible! The youths of the capital are all soft and tender. They would never go to such a remote place. Besides, given their status, who would dare to deal with them? "
"Could it be the capital? Impossible! This is the first time I've entered the capital. If I've seen him before, there's no way I wouldn't know, and I wouldn't be hunted down for no reason. "
An Yaluoshan leaned against the back of his horse, his breathing ragged, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. Perhaps it was because he had escaped too many times and was chased by that person too many times.
After a long period of apprehension, An Yaluoshan realized that he was now extremely skilled at escaping from all sorts of dire situations.
Behind him, the galloping of hooves stirred up a waterfall of rain and splashing water. The soul-stirring clanging caused An Yaluoshan's brows to wildly rise and his heart to tremble.
An Yaluoshan could completely imagine the cold face of that youth behind him, his cold and blood-red eyes, even the sound of his breathing.
He was already very close to her.
But An Yaluoshan didn't even dare to turn his head.
An unreasonable pursuit, a ruthless and thunderous method, and that pair of blood-red eyes filled with hatred … An Yaluoshan had never imagined that there was another person besides that person who could make him so panicked.
More importantly, An Yaluoshan still had no idea where all this had come from.
"Could it be because of that person?"
An Yaluoshan suddenly recalled the group of Han that he had driven out of Drunken Sparrow restaurant.
That group of people had come from all sorts of backgrounds, but a significant portion of them had been sailors. When they had attacked, that group of people had shouted that the young man leading them was from the capital's Wang Clan.
At the time, An Wenzhen had easily interrupted them. An Wenzhen had only said one thing. The Wang Clan was a top-class clan of the capital. If they were having a gathering, how could they not reserve the entire place and even have a banquet with these people? It had to be fake.
And then he had beaten those people until their bones were broken!
At the time, those people had been extremely agitated, saying that they would definitely regret it!
After thinking it over, An Yaluoshan could only think of this matter.
But even so, this matter had nothing to do with him. The one who had done it was An Wenzhen, and he had nothing to do with it!
Even if that youth wanted to find someone, he should have found An Wenzhen and the others, not him!
"I'll first go to the relay station in the western part of the city. That's the safest place right now!"
All these thoughts flashed through his mind.
An Yaluoshan suddenly squeezed his horse's abdomen and galloped away.
… …
In the darkness, torrential rain poured down and lightning flashed, illuminating two groups of people.
Wang Chong lay on his horse, his lips tightly clenched, his body motionless. Behind him, though there was the thundering of hooves, there was also no sound.
The silence at this moment was far more soul-stirring than if there was any sound.
"No matter where you run, you won't be able to escape the capital!"
Wang Chong stared ahead.
The capital was a cage. He had come from the city gate, and the city gate was right behind him. No matter where An Yaluoshan ran, as long as he didn't run out of the city gate, he would never be able to escape.
No, even if An Yaluoshan ran out of the city gate, he still wouldn't be able to escape.
In his last life, he had spent thirty-five years in the Central Plains, but he had still not been able to save it from its fate of destruction. In this life of the Central Plains, Wang Chong had already made the preparations to spend an enormous amount of time and effort.
But Wang Chong had never imagined that the heavens would send him such a good opportunity through the hands of fate. An Yaluoshan had actually come alone from the distant Youzhou to the capital, right in front of him.
Never before had Wang Chong felt that he was so close to success, so close to completing his mission. It was no longer right in front of his eyes, but within his reach.
As long as he succeeded in killing An Yaluoshan, fate would undergo an inconceivable reversal.
Of the countless possibilities of fate, this was undoubtedly the easiest and also the one that required the least price.
The current An Yaluoshan was too weak, completely unable to compare to that ambitious and ruthless character of his future life, the supreme villain.
Wang Chong was well aware that if he missed this chance, he would definitely regret it.
Because at that time, he would never be able to so easily gain the upper hand.
"Rumble!"
Wang Chong couldn't see what was behind him, but he could sense that more and more people were joining in. The Wang Clan's enormous influence in the capital was being displayed.
Wang Chong was well aware that these people were not from Deflecting Blade Manor or the spirit vein mountain, nor were they even from the Wang Clan. As an illustrious clan of ministers and generals that could stand on equal footing with the Yao Clan, an existence that even King Qi had to pay attention to, with the help of Wang Chong, the 'Qilin son of the Wang Clan', the Wang Clan was displaying its enormous influence.
The Wang Clan was like an enormous beast hiding beneath the surface of the water, possessing boundless power. It was just that the Wang Clan's modesty, modesty, and low-profile style limited this power.
This restriction did not come from Wang Yan or Wang Chong, nor did it come from Wang Chong's big uncle. Rather, it came from Wang Chong's grandfather, Duke Jiu Wang Jiuling, who was revered and revered by the entire world.
Duke Jiu was incorruptible, thrifty, and disciplined, and he demanded the same of his children. So much so that the entire Wang Clan was like this.
However, although this established the Wang family's moral reputation, it also limited the Wang family's power.
It was said that success came from Xiao He, and defeat came from Xiao He.
Wang Chong's grandfather had once been a Prime Minister, and he had worked hard to reverse the tides of the Imperial Court and pacify the chaos. He had also fought against the Turks and the Khitans, and together with His Majesty and his ministers, they had created the golden age of the Tang dynasty. This was the source of the Wang Clan's strength.
But at the same time, Wang Chong's grandfather's cultivation of character also limited the Wang Clan's strength.
But not even Wang Chong's grandfather could have imagined that a variable like Wang Chong would eventually appear in the Wang Clan.
His appearance had completely broken the rules set down by the Wang Clan.
Most importantly, the excellence he had displayed had won the approval of the Wang Clan's Old Master.
Creee!
In the middle of the chase, a shrill cry came from up ahead. In the gloomy sky and the torrential rain, An Yaluoshan suddenly galloped his horse around the corner of an alley and behind a wall, vanishing.
At this sight, Wang Chong's pupils constricted and his horse suddenly slowed down. But without much hesitation, Wang Chong and his horse did not walk through the gate, but charged straight at the high wall.
"Boom!"
Countless bricks mixed with the rain shot out for fifty zhang. As the high wall collapsed, Wang Chong rode the White-hoofed Shadow out from behind it.
Buzz! In a flash, Wang Chong stopped.
Forty-some zhang from Wang Chong was a row of towering courtyards, and in front of this courtyard stood sixty to seventy muscular figures on warhorses, armed with armor and wielding weapons.
These sixty to seventy figures were Hu, Han, Khitans, and even Ouzan. The torrential rain fell on their bodies, but these people remained motionless. As the rain fell into their eyes, they did not even blink.
Crackle!
A blazing bolt of lightning flashed over the courtyard, illuminating the world and also illuminating those wolf-like wild gazes in front of the courtyard.
These stalwart figures stood on the battlefield of the army, the green flame spear emblazoned on their armor the most striking symbol of the Andong Protectorate!
"Youzhou soldiers!"
Wang Chong immediately calmed down.
The figures in the courtyard all had vigorous auras, each of them at the True Martial realm, and a few of them faintly exuded the aura of the Profound Martial realm.
This was not a level that any ordinary elite force could reach.
At this moment, Wang Chong knew that he had made a mistake. An Yaluoshan had definitely not come alone. At his side were the elite soldiers of the Andong Protectorate.
"Hmph, it seems like all the rebels and traitors of the Tang Dynasty have come!"
Wang Chong clenched his fists, his eyes turning even redder.
The sudden appearance of these sixty to seventy powerful figures had not only failed to extinguish his killing intent, it had even stimulated it.
Youzhou was a land of both foreigners and Han. It gave birth to the most valiant warriors, but it also gave birth to the greatest number of rebels and traitors.
The Tang Dynasty was a colossus that had lasted for more than two hundred years. An Yaluoshan alone could not shake it. There were many rebellious ministers around him.
There was no question that these rebels were standing before him. An Yaluoshan had rushed here precisely because this group of people could protect him.
"Good fortune! I didn't think that all my opponents would come! An Yaluoshan, even if you grow wings, you won't be able to escape today! "
Wang Chong clenched his fists so tightly that he didn't even notice his nails digging into his flesh.
The people he hated and wanted to kill the most in his life had all come, and all of them had appeared in front of him.
