Song Tao’s eyes were cold and sharp as he imprinted Zhao Yu’s appearance in his mind.
“Heh!”
Zhao Yu laughed once, drawing the long sword fixed at his waist and slashed sideways.
“Die!”
Song Tao was greatly shocked; he hadn’t even made a move, and Zhao Yu dared to strike first!
He immediately dodged to the side and draw out his weapon and launched a counterattack.
In an instant, they exchanged more than a dozen moves.
“Heh, you dare to ambush me with that level of skill?!” Song Tao taunted out of habit.
But in the next second, Zhao Yu suddenly pulled away from him to one side.
What’s happening?!
Just as Song Tao was startled, a strong gust of wind hit him from behind.
“Pop-!”
A very crisp sound rang out, and Song Tao’s skull cap flew off instantly.
In the last moment of consciousness, he saw a snake’s head, its eyes filled with endless coldness.
“Hahahaha! Idiot!”
After seeing Song Tao dead, Zhao Yu muttered under his breath and sped up towards the nearest Tiger Howl Gang.
Xie Zheng led his men in pursuit.
Upon seeing Song Tao’s corpse, he couldn’t help but shake his head, “In the game of throne, if you had heavily injured He Yun, perhaps…”
Even though the people around him were his confidants, human nature is unpredictable.
“Take his body, let’s go back!”
There were already more than a dozen corpses at the scene.
“Boss, all the attackers are here, not a single one missed…”
After a brief rest, He Yun’s wounds had stopped bleeding, and he had somehow procured a wild beast, killing it to regain some strength.
“Mm, back to Wang Feng Valley!”
He Yun did not desecrate the bodies, his gaze seemingly indifferent to the life and death of these people.
The journey back was silent. After this battle, a rift had formed between He Yun and Xie Zheng and the others, as they were not close as before.
Upon returning to Wang Feng Valley, the first thing He Yun did was to gather everyone.
Xie Zheng guessed it might be related to the ambush, perhaps He Yun wanted to root out those with ulterior motives?!
What He Yun did was not what he expected.
“Spread my word to stop pursue Xiao Xiao Long…”
“From today on, Xiao Xiao Long is my brother…”
“Everyone, go and spread the word now, whoever dares to touch my brother is opposing me, He Yun, and Wang Feng Valley…”
These words caused an uproar among everyone.
Not everyone knew the actual person named Xiao Xiao Long; many were not privy to such information.
Hearing this unfamiliar name, many were astonished.
Especially when they learned from He Yun that Xiao Xiao Long was first wanted, then the pursuit was called off and now he was He Yun’s brother.
“It’s that guy who was chased by a king-level monster…”
“So it’s him, his name is Xiao Xiao Long?!”
While people whispered among themselves, a group responsible for investigating the descendants of ancient martial artists quietly approached He Yun and asked in a low voice, “Boss, are we still looking for Xiao Xiao Long’s companions?”
He Yun glanced at him and said, “Didn’t you hear? Xiao Xiao Long is my brother, and his companions are Wang Feng Valley’s companions…”
“Got it, boss, I know what to do…”
Seeing the gleam in this person’s eyes, He Yun was afraid he might misunderstand and added, “Call your people back, stop tracking Xiao Xiao Long’s companions…”
“Ah?!” The man was not expecting He Yun to mean this.
“Are you serious, boss?!”
“Do you need me to repeat for you?!”
He Yun rolled his eyes, inwardly lamenting that sometimes his subordinates were too keen on guessing his intentions, which wasn’t always a good thing. Communication was too exhausting.
It took a while for the subordinate to understand that He Yun truly wanted them to pull back, without any ulterior motive.
“What about the ancient martial technique?”
“Heh!”
He Yun chuckled but did not answer.
He certainly wanted the Eye of Insight technique, but after careful consideration, with their current strength, it was nearly impossible to stop Zhao Yu.
At best, they could only attempt to block Zhao Yu, delivering him to the king-level monster, without being able to capture him.
After all, a king-level monster was following Zhao Yu, the kind that wouldn’t stop until one of them was dead.
After much thought, He Yun decided to first make peace with Zhao Yu. If the technique wasn’t hard to learn, surely some of his companions knew it.
When those people come to Wang Feng Valley, there would always be a way to obtain it.
“I came from the Tiger Howl Gang…”
“I don’t know Zhao Yu…”
Sun Yi Fan walked alone in the forest, muttering to himself.
This was his first time leaving the group to act alone, and he was nervous.
Especially since Wang Feng Valley was likely in full pursuit of them, exposure could mean death.
Sun Yi Fan was very cautious, constantly looking back every few steps and stopping to check his surroundings for any ambush or traps.
But after walking for about an hour without encountering anyone else, he gradually relaxed.
“Maybe Wang Feng Valley doesn’t even know who we are…”
“Perhaps, the guy who escaped didn’t have the chance to report back before dying on the road, eaten by some monster…”
“Yeah, that must be it….”
