The starry sky at night seemed to be shrouded in a black mist. There were only a few stars in the sky, shining feebly.
In the dim corner of Starlight City, a middle-aged man wearing linen clothes appeared.
His body seemed to merge with the night. He moved cautiously and carefully glanced left and right before walking out of the alleyway. His body shuttled through the night, and soon he came to an ordinary hut.
He reached out and knocked three times in a row.
There was no sound in the room. The middle-aged man in Mai stretched out his hand and knocked twice again. These two sounds were more urgent than the previous three.
At this time, the light of the oil lamp lit up inside the house.
Looking at the light, the man in linen had a happy face.
With a creak, the door opened, and a bearded man opened the door. He was wearing a robe, and he looked slightly excited when he saw the man in linen.
"Little brother."
The bearded man took a step forward and gave the other person a hug.
After the hug, the man in sackcloth asked: "Brother, how about Hu Laosan I asked you to contact? Does he agree to let me get out of that secret passage?"
"Brother, I have already contacted you, and Hu Laosan has also agreed. He said that he will arrange for you to leave Starlight City tomorrow night."
"Brother, you lied to me!"
After hearing what the bearded man said, the man in linen clothes was not happy but became vigilant. He quickly took a step back and looked at the former eldest brother, his face a little pale.
"Brother, what do you mean?" The bearded man's face changed slightly, and his body trembled unnaturally.
"Brother, tomorrow is August 15th. Hu Laosan has a rule that on the 15th of every month, he will go to his mother's wake. How can he have time to arrange for me to go out?"
"You didn't contact Hu Laosan at all!" the man in linen said in a deep voice.
He had a premonition that something was wrong, and as soon as he stepped back, he planned to leave here. Suddenly, seven or eight men in black jumped down from the roof.
The men in black were extremely skilled, holding sharp scimitars in their hands, the bright blades flashing with cold light.
"Bai Cong, the young master is right, you are really powerful. If we hadn't surrounded the entire Starlight City, I'm afraid you would have really run away."
Among the men in black, the leader came out. He stared at the middle-aged man in Mai and said with a smile.
The bearded man outside the hut had a bad look on his face. He looked at Bai Cong and said, "Brother, don't blame me. I was also helpless. You offended that person. If you run away, we will all be implicated because of you. so… "
"So you should sacrifice me, right?"
A look of resentment flashed across Bai Cong's face, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I was so smart and stupid all my life. My biggest mistake was to treat you bastards as real brothers!"
"Bai Cong, you should just surrender. The young master just wants your head. If you don't resist, we can give you a good time."
The leader of the men in black took a step forward. The smile on his face had disappeared, leaving only an icy chill.
"Don't even think about it, my life, Bai Cong, is not that easy to take!" Bai Cong shouted coldly, and suddenly held something like a bamboo tube in his hand.
With a slight press of his finger, a dangerous aura flashed through the bamboo tube.
"Be careful!" the leader of the men in black shouted.
At the same time, densely packed bamboo arrows flew out of the cylinder. These bamboo arrows looked very powerful, and they didn't know if they were poisonous. The man in black didn't dare to touch them and hurriedly dodged them.
Bai Cong didn't hesitate and took this opportunity to turn around and run away.
There were hundreds of bamboo arrows erupted from the bamboo tube, and only three men in black were accidentally injured. The leader of the man in black jumped into the air and chased forward quickly.
This guy is like a mouse. He might make a hole and leave Starlight City at some point. At that time, it would be hard for them to explain to their superiors. It was hard to get him out of the darkness now, but he couldn't let him run away again.
Several other uninjured men in black also hurriedly chased after him.
The night in Starlight City is not so quiet.
Bai Cong was only in the early stage of the Venerable state. Several people who chased him were already in the Venerable state. The leader of the man in black was at the peak of the Venerable state.
The gap between levels is too big, and the opponent is well prepared. It is obviously not that simple for Bai Cong to escape.
The leader of the men in black locked onto his aura. No matter where Bai Cong got into, he would soon be found by those who were chasing him.
"Bai Cong, you can't run away at all!"
The leader of the men in black came from the sky and slapped Bai Cong on the back. Bai Cong's body quickly dodged, but his body was still scratched by the aftermath.
Stepping aside, Bai Cong clutched his stomach, blood dripping from the corners of his mouth.
Still caught up...
Bai Cong felt a little desperate. From the moment he discovered his eldest brother's betrayal, he had anticipated this outcome.
After all, that person's power is too powerful. He has been lucky enough to deal with the other party these days because he did not reveal his whereabouts, which makes the other party helpless. If they were discovered by their people, it would not be much more difficult for the other party to kill him than to kill an ant.
Several figures jumped down and surrounded Bai Cong.
This time, the man in black was not going to give him any chance, and Bai Cong knew in his heart that he could no longer escape.
"You, Butler Bai, can be considered a well-known person. If you hadn't offended the young master, you would have a bright future. It's just a pity..." The leader of the man in black had a look of regret on his face, "If you offend the young master, you will definitely die. My name is Asan, please remember to tell me my name when you go to hell.”
The sword flashed!
The air around seemed to have become much colder.
There was already a huge gap between the peak of the Venerable and the early stage of the Venerable, not to mention that Bai Cong was still injured, so it was impossible to dodge the sword.
The other men in black all had ferocious smiles on their faces. After searching for so long, they finally got rid of this guy.
"I'm going to die..." Bai Cong closed his eyes and quietly welcomed the arrival of death.
"puff!"
Suddenly, there was a sound. Bai Cong felt his body go cold, but after a moment, he realized that he was not dead.
"I'm alive?"
Bai Cong opened his eyes and saw an incredible scene. The leader of the man in black holding a scimitar fell to the ground for some reason, and his weapon also fell beside him.
"who!"
Several other men in black were shocked and looked around with weapons in hand.
"Puff puff… "
The strange sound of breaking through the air sounded again, and each of the men in black seemed to have been severely injured. Their bodies flew back into the air, and then fell to the ground.
In the blink of an eye, all the men in black fell down, leaving only Bai Cong standing.
The figure flashed past.
Ouyang Ming, who was wearing a black robe, came out. He looked at Bai Cong and asked with a smile: "You are Bai Cong..."
"Junior is Bai Cong. Thank you senior for saving me." Bai Cong handed over his hand first, and then asked: "How did senior know my name?"
Bai Cong was a little curious. He could instantly deal with those men in black. This young man's strength was at the level of an emperor at least. Why did he want to save himself, and where did he know his name
Ouyang Ming smiled and said, "You don't have to make wild guesses. I have no ill intentions towards you. I learned everything about you from Netherworld Pavilion."
"I see..." Bai Cong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Senior, if you ask me, I will do my best."
Bai Cong is a smart person, and the other party will not save him for no reason. He must be of some value to him. Moreover, the other party had already explained that he knew about him from Netherworld Pavilion, which happened to prove his guess.
"I want you to be my butler." Ouyang Ming stated his purpose.
A hesitant look flashed across Bai Cong's face.
Ouyang Ming asked: "What's wrong? Do you have any other difficulties?"
Bai Cong took a step forward and said in a deep voice: "Thanks to the great love of senior, it's not that I don't want to be your housekeeper, it's just that senior also saw that I offended someone. That person is very powerful. If I become senior's housekeeper, I will definitely It will implicate you."
"How powerful?" Ouyang Ming chuckled and said with disdain.
Bai Cong hesitated for a moment and then said: "The person I offended is the second young master of Starlight City Lord..."
He told the truth in order to make Ouyang retreat when he knew it was difficult. The other party saved his life, and he could not let the other party be implicated because of himself.
The Lord of Starlight City is the lord of a city and is very powerful. His son also has great power in Starlight City.
If it weren't for the fact that the person he offended was too powerful and blocked the entire city, Bai Cong wouldn't be in such a mess. He would have left here long ago.
"Can you tell me something about you?" Ouyang Ming asked.
He knew some information about Bai Cong from Youming Pavilion, but he didn't know about any conflicts between him and the second young master of the City Lord's Mansion. If it was because of the second young master, Ouyang Ming would naturally not care. But if Bai Cong started trouble on his own, Ouyang Ming would also need to think about his character.
"Senior is like this..."
Bai Cong recounted what happened to him.
A few months ago he was considered an upper-class celebrity in Starlight City. He is a romantic man who is having an affair with a famous lady.
They were just playmates at first, but they separated after a month. Unexpectedly, after the woman separated from him, she hooked up with the second young master of the city lord's mansion.
This second young master is also a stubborn person. He doesn't know what he likes about that woman, and he loves her so much. The woman didn't mention what happened in the past, but the fire could not be contained. After learning about the relationship between the woman and Bai Cong from other people, the second young master felt that his head seemed to be flashing with a certain color of light.
Then Bai Cong was unlucky...
No one would reason with him, and no one would tell the second young master who should come first. Anyway, if the city lord's young master was unhappy, the consequences would be very serious.
Bai Cong's strength was average, and he had no master in Starlight City for the time being, so he would definitely not be able to compete with the second young master. Only then was he hunted down and had nowhere to hide. Several of his brothers who had been close to each other had betrayed him.
"Follow me, don't worry about the city lord." After hearing Bai Cong's miserable experience, Ouyang Ming said calmly.
"Senior, that's the second son of the city lord. You can't protect me." Bai Cong smiled bitterly, still feeling uneasy.
"If you leave now, there will definitely be no way to survive. Only by following me can you have a glimmer of hope. I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of!" Ouyang Ming smiled slightly, raised his legs and walked forward.
