Translator: 549690339

Gong Zheng was encased in white energy as he weaved through the crowd; formidable strength repeatedly disturbed, exposing the spiritual armor hidden within. The powerful shockwaves threw his organs into disarray.

No matter which direction he rushed towards, or what skills the opponents had, the answer was always a quick retreat. If Gong Zheng advanced, he had to face the onslaught from multiple people simultaneously. He was getting weaker while proving incapable of injuring any of the opponents. Gong Zheng was caught in a deadly dilemma.

In the sky, a man stood proudly on a cloud. It was Xu Lao Ying, who had returned after initially departing.

He lowered his head, watching Gong Zheng fight desperately like a cornered animal in the crowd, unable to break free.

When Tang Luo received Gong Zheng’s wife and child, Xu Lao Ying left on the pretense of finding an arena, but in reality, he circled back here.

He didn’t know why he had returned. After all, he was the first person who considered killing Gong Zheng. As Tang Luo said, it was just that Mi Hou was the one who took action now. what was unacceptable about that?

But there was something inside him that rejected this idea, perhaps it was his disdain for Mi Hou of the Mi Clan or maybe it was because of the delicate little girl-

Moreover, he wanted to see how Tang Luo was going to use the insignificant Gong Zheng to unify West Street of Xiling!

The sword, a three-foot blade, was the way of the heart. Where the mind goes, the sword follows.

Watching Gong Zheng in a critical situation on the ground, Xu Lao Ying focused his sword intent into his finger; his gaze concealing the sharpness, emanated a frosty air.

“I will give you a helping hand!”

Xu Lao Ying pointed his sword downwards and the flying sword intent transformed into pure white. The sword’s energy pierced the cloud, exploding it into mist after considerable condensation.

However, instead of becoming part of the natural flow of the atmosphere, the exploded cloud turned into countless icicles, pouring onto the ground.

The falling iciciles turned into fog before reaching the ground, forming a misty cloud, which looked like cotton wool from afar, covering both sides of the fight.

In an Instant, the whole world was filled with white snow fog, making it impossible to discern directions.

The ice fog blurred the vision of the Mi Clan warriors while simultaneously, seemingly intentionally, missing Gong Zheng. The sudden appearance of this dense fog gave Gong Zheng a chance at life. After withstanding two blows, he utilized secret techniques to escape.

Wrapped in the white energy of his sword, he darted out of the fog like a beam of light, heading straight for Xiling, covering several miles in the blink of an eye.

By the time the Mi Clan’s warriors emerged from the fog, there was no sign of Gong Zheng’s figure anywhere.

“Master Pei, what should we do!?” Jin Kai asked while looking towards the distant void.

The other warriors who emerged from the fog also gathered around the two, their eyes all cast towards Pei Hongliang.

After Zhang Xinghe’s death, he had become the most respected martial artist in the Mansion, hence the other small teams all referred to him as ‘Chief. He was also one of the warriors whom Mi Shen trusted most in the present situation.

Pei Hongliang, a tall man with sharp eagle-like eyes, removed his right-hand glove and handed it to Jin Kai, ordering, “Return to the mansion immediately and inform the Master. Dispatch spiritual birds for inspection. This has his blood on it; I don’t believe Gong Zheng can escape from the eyes of the spiritual birds!”

As the strongest fighter in the group, he had landed a punch on Gong Zheng earlier, making him spit out blood. This blood was now their most useful clue in tracking him!

Within the Cuiyun Building, Tingyun Pavilion

When Gong Zheng stumbled into the room, he saw his wife stuffing food into her mouth while crying, and his daughter crying in her arms.

The sound of the door opening startled the woman. The food slipped from her hand and she choked on her tears. It was her husband who had returned!

The little girl in her arms, seeing her father, jumped down from her mother’s arms and rushed towards him.

A weak Gong Zheng knelt down, catching and holding his daughter in his arms.

“Daddy-” The little girl’s cry with a sob came from his arms, and Gong Zheng closed his eyes, his whole body trembling.

He was just one step away from death. If not for the sudden dense fog, he would have died at that abandoned farmstead in the western suburbs. He thought he was fearless, but he didn’t expect to be so scared.

The woman cried out finally, running towards her husband and throwing herself into his arms.

For a time, the three of them were huddled together.

Seeing Gong Zheng back so soon, Tang Luo furrowed his brows, thinking:

This should not have happened. With Gong Zheng’s skills, even with the spiritual armor, he should at least infiltrate the crowd, exhaust the spirit power of the enemy, and then find an opportunity to escape.

But he escaped this quickly. This didn’t make sense. If he had an excellent concealment technique, he should have returned faster and without injuries;

It should be quite clear now. I knew it, Xu Lao Ying rushed to make a decision on his own, and it turns out he looped back.

On the other hand, Gong Zheng, wiping the tears from the woman’s face, softly said, “We have to leave now, any further delay might lead to unforeseen complications.”

Seeing her husband back was already a miracle; the woman didn’t care about anything else. Nodding in haste, she stood up to leave with him.

Tang Luo, watching the two of them talking and planning their escape, said indifferently, “Run. Let’s see whether your legs are faster, or the wings of a spiritual bird.”

The sudden voice startled Gong Zheng. Following where it came from, he saw Tang Luo sitting in a corner.

“Master Tang….” Gong Zheng had just entered the room and was so focused on his wife and daughter that he didn’t notice Tang Luo. Moreover, what he said made Gong Zheng’s heart pound. In panic, he greeted Tang Luo.

Tang Luo made a dismissive gesture, disinterested in Gong Zheng’s formalities, and urged, ‘Weren’t you in a hurry to run? Hurry up, let me see how you can outrun a spiritual bird.”

He picked up a tea cup and drank it down in a single gulp. If Gong Zheng can’t use his own power to escape from the encirclement, then there’s little reason to cultivate him. After all, to unify the West Street of Xiling, countless fierce battles would occur. Xu Lao Ying might have saved him once, but can he save him every time?

Maybe Xu Lao Ying thought he was helping Tang Luo, but he didn’t understand why Tang Luo had set up the plan to keep Gong Zheng in the west suburbs. His good intentions had ended up causing unnecessary problems.

When Gong Zheng heard Tang Luo’s words, he knew that Tang Luo wouldn’t speak without reason. If he escaped recklessly, there would only be one path – death. So, he stood up, handed his daughter to his wife, walked to Tang Luo, who was drinking tea, and bowed deeply, begging, “Please, Master, save me.” “Why should I?” Tang Luo asked expressionlessly.

Gong Zheng gritted his teeth and steeled his heart before answering, “Because Master wants to use me.”

Tang Luo laughed softly, put down his tea cup, and asked, “How did you figure that out?”

As expected! Gong Zheng’s heart was overjoyed. He knew he had made the right gamble, and the answer to the following question was crucial for the safety of his whole family.

He let out a long sigh and said, “The conversation at the Weiya Garden, that was Master’s first test. And today, is the second. If Master didn’t want to use me, then why would you go through the trouble of having a conversation with me.”

‘And why would you… wait for me in Tingyun Pavilion..”
