ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey
When ng Zhang launched a surprise attack on one of the masked individuals, Jin Qiao'er and Yang Xueyi acted simultaneously as well. Jin Qiao'er's palms danced in the air, forcing the other masked person into a miserable state. Not only were their protective magic tools shattered in the process, but their mask was also cracked, revealing half of their face.
Yang Xueyi utilized the Azure Cloud Silk, gently rolling it out to bring An Xiaoran, who was lying on the ground, closer to herself.
ng Zhang was about to strike the masked person with the severed arm when he heard a sowhat familiar voice. Despite his continued actions, he refrained from delivering the finishing blow, choosing to capture the opponent first.
A true qi-ford whip flew from his hand, firmly entangling the masked person with the severed arm.
At that mont, ng Zhang finally had a chance to look at the other masked individual. With his excellent mory, even though half of their face was concealed, he imdiately recognized them. Wasn't this Grey Mouse?
Years ago, when ng Zhang hired cultivators from the black market for a mission, he first encountered Jue Ying, Grey Mouse, and Black Horse. Later, after becoming friends with Jue Ying, he learned from him that Grey Mouse and Black Horse had close ties to the black market and could be considered its mbers.
Seeing them here, involved in the kidnapping of An Xiaoran, could it be that the black market had turned against him? But ng Zhang had no enmity with the black market; on the contrary, they had a relatively close working relationship. What reasons led the black market to treat him as an enemy?
Though puzzled, ng Zhang remained composed without any visible expression. Not even recognizing Grey Mouse would deter him, as he joined the battle to help Jin Qiao'er capture the masked man.
When they first t, Grey Mouse was rely a Refining Qi stage cultivator. Many years had passed, and now he had made significant progress, reaching the Foundation Building stage.
Unfortunately for Grey Mouse, while he had made considerable strides, ng Zhang's progress was even greater. With ng Zhang's mid-Foundation Building cultivation base and the support of Jin Qiao'er, Grey Mouse, who was already struggling, found it even more challenging to resist.
In the sky, two cultivators were flying towards the scene and noticed the ongoing battle. They imdiately accelerated, intending to co to their companion's aid.
Yang Xueyi shielded An Xiaoran behind her, quickly forming hand seals to cast her spells. The clouds in the sky dispersed, transforming into water arrows that rained down on the two rapidly approaching cultivators.
The two cultivators casually brushed away the water arrows, their speed hardly affected as they continued their swift approach.
Suddenly, the ground trembled, and the earth rapidly bulged upward. Several earthen dragons erged from the ground, swirling in the air to form a circle.
The advanced spell, Chaotic Dance of Earth Dragons, was quite challenging for many mid-Foundation Building cultivators to cast, but Yang Xueyi executed it effortlessly, displaying its formidable power.
The two reinforcent cultivators were finally halted by this onslaught of earth dragons. Although they managed to disperse the dragons after a brief mont, by then, ng Zhang's side had already concluded the fight. Teaming up with Jin Qiao'er, they successfully captured Grey Mouse before the reinforcents arrived.
With two hostages in hand, ng Zhang felt more confident. The two cultivators who ca to aid their companion had no choice but to temporarily hover in the air, no longer pressing forward.
ng Zhang glanced at them; they made no effort to conceal their identities, wearing distinctive wolf-head and bald-eagle masks that were commonly seen on their casual days.
ng Zhang recognized the origins of the masked individuals, and they were acquaintances. Both of them were Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle, people from the black market. "Seems like the black market has really turned against ," ng Zhang thought.
Since the black market showed no regard for their past relationship, ng Zhang no longer needed to consider Luo Ye and Jue Ying's feelings.
"Long ti no see, the circumstances of our reunion are truly unexpected," ng Zhang said with an icy tone. Over the years, Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle had made significant progress in their cultivation base, advancing from early Foundation Building to mid Foundation Building. Even though they were both at mid Foundation Building stage, ng Zhang posed an exceptional threat to them.
In fact, even Yang Xueyi and Jin Qiao'er, who were both at the early Foundation Building stage, were not opponents to be taken lightly in their eyes. The spells Yang Xueyi just displayed were beyond the abilities of typical early Foundation Building cultivators.
Lone Wolf wore a wolf-head mask, while Bald Eagle had his signature mask. Due to the masks, ng Zhang couldn't see their expressions, but he imagined they weren't happy.
Considering they had crossed paths with the black market so many tis, ng Zhang had never paid attention to their true identities. Curious, he activated his Deception Breaking Eye to take a closer look.
Being caught by ng Zhang in this situation was awkward for both Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle. Due to their past relationship with Luo Ye, their relationship with the black market had been quite good. Furthermore, as Taiyi Sect grew in influence, ng Zhang's importance to the black market increased as well. It would be difficult to explain how their kidnapping of ng Zhang's direct disciple resulted in them being captured on the spot.
The masks Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle wore were obviously of high quality, blocking much of the power of ng Zhang's Deception Breaking Eye. He could only see two sowhat blurry faces, not much more.
At this mont, Yang Xueyi removed the restrictions on An Xiaoran's body and began carefully examining whether there were any other hidden chanisms on him.
Grey Mouse and the other masked individual captured by ng Zhang were thrown within reach at his feet. ng Zhang lightly kicked them; Grey Mouse seed unaffected, but the masked man with the severed arm couldn't help but let out a painful groan.
Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle exchanged glances, realizing they couldn't remain silent any longer.
"Sect Master ng, this is all a misunderstanding, we had no ill intentions..."
"Enough, don't treat like a three-year-old," ng Zhang interrupted Lone Wolf.
"Explain everything imdiately, or don't expect to spare you any rcy."
As ng Zhang spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture toward Grey Mouse and the other masked individual.
In his mind, Lone Wolf cursed White Dove, the mastermind behind this plan. All this trouble for the promise of so benefits from Shangguan Longyan, just to plot against ng Zhang. Now it had all backfired, and they were the ones caught.
Grey Mouse and his accomplices proved to be incompetent. Even though they were both Foundation Building cultivators, they were easily captured by ng Zhang. It was an embarrassing blow to the black market's reputation.
Despite Grey Mouse's failures, Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle couldn't ignore the situation. The black market was powerful, with nurous cultivators, but they weren't at a stage where they could casually abandon mid Foundation Building cultivators.
