Chapter 112: Rescuing the Person

Man Yunyan saw that he believed the lie she had crafted. A sense of relief washed over her—at least she could save one person. She didn’t notice the fiery gaze with which the man looked at her. “Don’t worry, I won’t move!” Man Yunyan raised both hands high.

“Captain Man! Don’t go over there!” shouted the group of policemen behind her. The officers were all men, and they understood all too well what the man was thinking. Captain Man...

After being notified by the police, he didn’t even go to the hospital himself; instead, he stationed several black-clad bodyguards there to wait for news.

These great families, besides nurturing their own heirs, also recruit some gifted outsiders to serve as devoted retainers, dedicating their talents to the family.

I was deeply puzzled. Although I could guess my second uncle’s intentions, Chen Jing was no ordinary person. Removing the talisman seal could cause her to lose control, leading to serious trouble.

Hearing Mo Xie’s words, I couldn’t help but silently wail inside. Yet I lacked the courage to voice these thoughts aloud, for speaking them would only highlight the vast gulf between Mo Xie and me.

For a long time, the echo of the vow to swallow mountains and rivers reverberated endlessly through the valley. Gu Chenxi and the great earth snow wolf traveled for quite a while, the sound unceasing.

Gu Chenxi rolled her eyes, thinking to herself, What can I possibly do? The power of a soul master is no match before Jiang Cai Mei. But if I rely on my martial artist strength... now I’m furious, and if I lose control later, things won’t end well.

“Bo Qing, how is he exactly?” I asked anxiously, feeling uneasy about their refusal to let me see Liang Jinyan.

Yin Mu was unsurprised. Helian Yiyang had intended to rush over as soon as he heard about Yin Shuangshuang’s discovery yesterday, but Helian Zheng had called him back to discuss matters.

As I expected, there was no trace of the three kidnappers. I ordered my brothers to keep watching, then drove out to the outskirts with Xiao Fan and Xu Jie to test the power of our new toy.

“Let me borrow some of your child’s blood; your Fatty is going to use it!” the plump man said, not waiting for my consent. He grabbed my arm and stuffed my finger into his mouth, biting down hard.

A loud roar erupted as Zhang Huai’an swung fiercely. The massive energy claw sliced through the air with a sharp tearing sound, its assault ferocious beyond measure.

Nearby, Nie Qiang’s expression changed drastically. He hadn’t expected Hua Jianfeng not only to fail in killing Chu Ling but to fall into dire straits himself. If Chu Ling managed to kill Hua Jianfeng, the loss to Taixu City would be immense. A fourth-rank mystical engraver was no roadside cabbage—finding one was no simple matter.

“No need for you to come find me—I’m coming to see you myself!” Suddenly, Princess Sima Xuner’s voice rang out behind them.

“You two don’t need to worry. Both big sisters are incredibly formidable,” Hua Jing said confidently, unconcerned about their safety.

Gu Xinghun nodded. No one knew if there were terrifying strong beings within the ruins, or what dangers lay hidden. Entering recklessly could mean going in without coming out.

He dared not ask too many questions. If she returned and learned from Qin Yan, that would be bad. Qin Yan would definitely silence him if he found out. The thought of being silenced scared him so much he half wished he could beat himself up for asking pointless questions.

“Quite good... your younger brother has finally made some progress,” Zhou Xingyun said with a casual smile. After half a year as emperor, Han Feng’s approach to handling affairs had become somewhat more assertive. Of course, though still somewhat lenient, Han Feng aimed to be a benevolent ruler, and a little mercy wouldn’t hurt.

“The gap in realms has widened the distance in power!” Gu Xinghun frowned, thinking to himself. Though his power allowed him to fight beyond his level, the difference in realms meant that no matter how strong he was, it was difficult to contend with a first-star Martial Sect.

Ye Luo let out a mighty roar, but in the chaos of the battlefield, what use was his shouting?
