Tian Shengwu’s question was imdiately answered.
The courtyard door was opened from the outside, but it was not Lu Hong who entered; it was Yang Lin.
Seeing her father, Yang Xiuxiu hurriedly stood up, timidly standing to the side: "Dad..."
"Mm." Yang Lin simply replied, then walked straight to Song Qingyan and bowed, "Miss Song, please forgive my poor eyesight and inadequate hospitality."
Seeing Yang Lin bowing to her, Song Qingyan realized her identity had been exposed. Could it have been Lu Hong who told him?
Though puzzled, she replied, "Your Majesty King of Lin’an, there’s no need for such courtesy; I’m living well here."
"That’s good. If Miss Song needs anything, just speak up, and I will do my utmost to fulfill your requirents."
Upon hearing this, Song Qingyan said, "Where’s Lu Hong? Why didn’t he co back with you?"
"Lu Hong accepted a task from my Yang family and has already left Lin’an."
"Left Lin’an?" Tian Shengwu didn’t believe Yang Lin’s words. If Lu Hong were to leave, he couldn’t possibly not inform him. He imdiately stood up and stared at Yang Lin, "Tell ! Where did my big brother go? He wouldn’t leave without a word!"
In response, Yang Lin took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Tian Shengwu, "Find a place where no one is around and read it yourself."
Taking the letter, Tian Shengwu walked straight into a room, closed the door, and opened the envelope.
There was only one sentence written: "I’ve gotten myself into big trouble; you can completely trust Yang Lin."
This was indeed Lu Hong’s handwriting, ugly as ever.
Big trouble? What kind of trouble? Tian Shengwu had no idea what Lu Hong had done in the secret realm of Bai Sha. The only way to understand the situation now was probably through Yang Lin.
Leaving the room, Tian Shengwu looked troubled.
Yang Suxin approached with concern, "What’s wrong?"
Tian Shengwu shook his head slightly and walked to Yang Lin’s side, "I’ll listen to you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Lin nodded, "Co with to the study."
With that, Yang Lin bowed again to Song Qingyan, "Miss Song, I have to attend to so matters, farewell."
Tian Shengwu followed Yang Lin to the study.
After confirming all formations were activated, Yang Lin explained Lu Hong’s situation thoroughly.
After hearing Yang Lin’s account, Tian Shengwu was dumbfounded.
His big brother was really this fierce?
Tore apart tens of thousands of prodigies, battled the Primordial God Master?
"In short, you shouldn’t get involved in this, nor should you think of finding him. He chose to leave quietly so as not to implicate you, so don’t let him down. Also, Lin’an World is willing to make a permanent alliance with your Star Sea; your task is complete. Leave Lin’an as soon as possible. As for Song Qingyan, don’t trust her or get too close; the information about your big brother Lu Hong was likely transmitted by her."
Upon hearing Yang Lin’s words, Tian Shengwu clenched his fist. This treacherous woman! So two-faced!
"I understand." Tian Shengwu took a deep breath and left the study.
Back at the Southern Courtyard, Tian Shengwu packed his things and dragged Yang Suxin, ready to leave.
At this mont, Song Qingyan, who walked out of the house, stopped him, "When will your brother Lu Hong return?"
"Return? Ha!" Tian Shengwu glared coldly at Song Qingyan, "Perhaps he will never co back."
"What do you an?" Feeling Tian Shengwu’s hostility, Song Qingyan frowned. They were laughing and chatting during lunch; why the sudden change of face? n are indeed as unpredictable as eels!
"You should ask yourself!" With that, Tian Shengwu pulled Yang Suxin and slamd the door on their way out.
Leaving Song Qingyan puzzled.
What on earth... happened?
Song Qingyan had no way of knowing.
After seven days of hurried travel, Lu Hong could no longer hold on and arrived at a small town.
As he was about to enter the town, he saw a notice at the town gates. It prominently featured his portrait along with a bounty of three billion yuan currency.
Damn!
Lu Hong cursed silently and imdiately lowered his head.
Imdiately, he stopped queuing and retreated far away from the town.
This ti, he couldn’t even enter the town. On the ancient roads, Spiritual Energy was scarce, leaving him with almost no supplies. What should he do?
Lu Hong swore, if given a chance, he would stockpile more Magic Potions for ergencies.
Before Lu Hong had walked far, several hidden auras suddenly flickered by.
If not for Lu Hong’s keen perception of Blood Qi, he might have missed them.
It seed, at the town gate earlier, soone had recognized him.
Lu Hong remained calm and quietly slipped into a dense forest by the ancient road.
Soon, three figures landed at the entrance of the forest.
One of them spoke in a gloomy voice, "Big brother, should we keep pursuing?"
"Of course, three billion yuan currency is enough for us to live freely for a lifeti!"
With that, the three of them entered the forest.
But in the next second, sword light flashed, aiming viciously at one of their heads.
"Watch out!"
Instantly, Magic Power surged. These people reacted quickly; they’re all seasoned fighters. How could they not be ready?
Lu Hong’s sword struck a protective shield, sparking fiercely.
The attacked trio imdiately ford a circle to encircle Lu Hong.
Blood Qi Shockwave!
Lu Hong retaliated with a skill.
The explosive Blood Qi washed over the area.
Instead of backing off, the three advanced, releasing Magic Skills to counter the raging Blood Qi.
The clash of four forces led to continuous explosions.
Before the explosion ended, Lu Hong was already engaging the three in combat.
Suddenly, blades and swords flashed incessantly in the forest.
Although the trio was not weak, Lu Hong’s skills were superior, quickly wounding two of them.
The only one still standing was the head of the group.
"It’s truly worth a three billion bounty; this ti, we admit defeat. I hope you can spare us."
Hearing this, Lu Hong ceased his attack and spoke, "You want to kill , but when you realize you can’t, you expect a simple word to settle it?"
The leader knew it couldn’t be that simple, so he said, "Na your conditions, and I’ll try my best to satisfy them."
"Hand over all your Magic Power recovery potions."
The leader didn’t refuse this condition. He nodded and then took out a hundred bottles of Magic Potion from his Space Ring and his two companions’ as well: "Here they all are. Can you let us go now?"
Upon receiving the Magic Potions, Lu Hong chuckled, "Do you think such a small amount of Magic Potions can buy your lives?"
The leader furrowed his brow, "What more do you want?"
"Go to the town and buy more Magic Potions, as many as possible." With that, Lu Hong tossed a large bag of yuan currency from his Space Ring to the leader, "I’ll keep your two brothers here. You go buy, co back, and I’ll release them. But rember, if you bring others, don’t bla for being ruthless."
The leader took the bag of yuan currency, nodded, and gave Lu Hong a deep look, "Rember your promise."
"Rest assured."
After receiving Lu Hong’s confirmation, the leader turned and left.
Soon, he returned again, and seeing no one else behind him, Lu Hong finally brought out the two brothers from hiding.
They exchanged the goods and the people.
Both parties were very satisfied.
Having acquired recovery Magic Potions, Lu Hong didn’t linger and delved into the depths of the forest.
Watching Lu Hong’s departing figure, the three n regrouped.
"Boss, are we just going to let this go?" one brother said, clutching his broken arm in anger.
The leader looked at his brother, sighing, "If we can’t beat him, then we can’t. What else can we do?"
"We could sell the information to others. We can’t just co back empty-handed, right?"
"You can go yourself," the leader said, staring at his brother, "but if you get into trouble because of it, don’t expect to help you out. Let’s head back to town now; there’s still a chance to reattach your arm."
After learning there was a bounty on his head, Lu Hong dared not take the main roads and had to traverse the wilderness by the ancient roads.
As he moved away from the area once swept clean by the Yin Demon clan, the wilderness forests gradually filled with various powerful Demon Beasts.
These Demon Beasts all had one common trait: they are incredibly strong and heavily armored, but they lack any Magic Skills. This may be closely related to the thin Spiritual Energy within the ancient roads.
