"You thief, you dare to trespass into my Yun family's territory, stay here."
At the same time as the high-level Martial Master made his move, several loud shouts were heard from the Yun Clan's territory. These were the noises from the previous fight between Yang Qi and the high-level Martial Master, which alarmed these Martial Master-level practitioners.
"hateful!"
Feeling several auras flying over from the Yun family's territory, Yang Qi's face darkened. This was also the reason why he did not fight with the high-level martial arts master before. Once delayed, he would not be able to leave the Yun family at all.
"Stop it for me!"
Feeling the terrifying power coming from behind, the evil weapon in Yang Qi's hand shook and instantly turned into a sword curtain, protecting his body tightly.
Boom!
The sharp and violent blade light fell, accompanied by a loud bang, the blade curtain shattered, and Yang Qi's body was also hit by the blade light. He was instantly blown hundreds of feet away. However, he took advantage of the recoil force, and his body flashed and disappeared into the night sky.
Buzz~
Almost at the same time when Yang Qi disappeared in the night sky, a strange wave instantly enveloped the entire Yun family. It was the Yun family that activated the sect protection formation.
“Damn it, he actually escaped.” Looking at the figure disappearing in the night sky, the face of an old man in a gray robe near the tower became extremely ugly. This man was the high-level martial arts master who secretly attacked Yang Qi.
Although his strength was not bad, he was unable to stop Yang Qi after a series of attacks. A five-star martial arts master actually escaped from his hands, which made him feel ashamed.
Whoosh~ Whoosh~
At the same time, several sounds of breaking through the air were heard in the darkness. They were the several martial masters of the Yun family who had rushed over, including the head of the Yun family, Yun Zhenhai.
“Senior, that person just now…” Yun Zhenhai looked at the old man in gray robe.
“He escaped, but don’t worry, he is just a five-star martial master. He took my sword head-on, so I’m afraid he was seriously injured.” The gray-robed old man sneered.
Although he failed to stop Yang Qi, when Yang Qi escaped, he could only take his sword. Even a mid-level martial artist who was good at body refining would be seriously injured if he took his sword. Naturally, a five-star martial artist would not be better off.
Phew~
Hearing this, Yun Zhenhai heaved a sigh of relief, because the cultivator who could be repelled by the gray-robed old man could obviously not be Yun Lan's master Lei Yun.
Lei Yun is a powerful warrior at the Nine-Star Martial Honor Realm, and is definitely not someone the gray-robed old man in front of him can deal with. As long as Lei Yun does not attack him, the Yun family does not have to worry too much.
"Senior, have you discovered the other party's identity?" Yun Zhenhai asked softly.
Hearing this, the grey-robed old man said indifferently, "There are some clues. You don't need to worry about this matter. I will handle it myself."
"yes."
Yun Zhenhai nodded slightly, and then left with the Yun family’s top leaders.
"A cultivator who uses a knife, and whose murderous aura is so strong, is he a cultivator who defected from the Blood Evil Sect?" The gray-robed old man muttered to himself. From the strong murderous aura, he had some judgment about the identity of the figure.
"Whether it's Yang Qi or not, notify Junior Brother Gu first."
The gray-robed old man shook his head. Although he felt that the figure was unlikely to be Yang Qi, he still told Gu Xingnan everything that had happened.
"A practitioner who uses a knife?"
After receiving the message from the gray-robed old man, Gu Xingnan was slightly startled. The reason why Yun Lan was imprisoned was to lure out Yang Qi, but now, a cultivator with a knife appeared, and the murderous aura on his body was extremely strong. This should not be Yang Qi.
"Everything is going according to plan. I don't believe that Yang Qi won't show up." Gu Xingnan smiled coldly and immediately sent a message to inform the gray-robed old man.
…
"Oh no, is Yang Qi exposed?"
Although Liu Fei was unable to sneak into the Yun family with Yang Qi, she had been secretly paying attention to the Yun family after Yang Qi left. After hearing the movements in the Yun family's territory, her face suddenly changed.
Especially as the Yun family activated the sect protection formation, Liu Fei's worries became even greater, and she quickly sent a message to Yang Qi.
"I have escaped from the Yun family." After receiving Yang Qi's reply, Liu Fei immediately breathed a sigh of relief and hurried back to the inn to see Yang Qi who had already returned.
Seeing Yang Qi, Liu Fei immediately asked, "Have you found out where Senior Sister is?"
"It has been found out." Yang Qi nodded slightly. Judging from the position of the high-level martial arts master, Yun Lan was imprisoned in the high tower.
Phew~
Hearing this, Liu Fei also breathed a sigh of relief. After all, this time they alerted the enemy. If they couldn't find out where Yun Lan was imprisoned, it would be difficult to investigate next time.
"How did the Yun family find out about you?" Liu Fei looked at Yang Qi with some confusion.
The strongest cultivator of the Yun family was only a four-star martial master. With Yang Qi's strength, he should be more cautious and not expose himself so easily. And judging from the previous movements of the Yun family, Yang Qi had clearly fought with the Yun family's strong men.
"High-level Martial Master, the place where Senior Sister Yun is imprisoned is guarded by an eight-star Martial Master. I was discovered as soon as I arrived." Yang Qi said with a wry smile.
He also didn't expect that Gu Xingnan would secretly send a high-level martial master over to specifically guard the place where Yun Lan was imprisoned. With the other party's eight-star martial master's cultivation level, unless a strong man in the martial king realm took action, it would be impossible for him to secretly approach the tower.
"Eight-star Martial Master?"
Hearing this, Liu Fei's face changed and she quickly asked, "Are you okay?"
“I’m fine.” Yang Qi shook his head slightly. His body was much stronger than when he left Zichen Continent. After using the evil soldiers to weaken some of his power, the attack of the Eight-Star Martial Master could not hurt him at all.
"That's good."
Liu Fei let out a long breath, and then his expression became solemn. He said in a deep voice, "With an eight-star martial master guarding us, it won't be easy for us to rescue Senior Sister Yun."
Originally, it was very difficult for the two of them to break into the Yun family and rescue people with their strength. Now that the Yun family has an additional high-level martial arts master, it will undoubtedly become even more difficult to rescue Yun Lan.
"That eight-star martial master was obviously sent by Gu Xingnan. The other party was obviously well prepared. It seems that it may not be so easy to rescue people directly." Yang Qi sighed.
He did not want to rely too much on Wu Qian and Zhang Sanfeng unless it was absolutely necessary. Now that the matter was not beyond his ability to handle, he still wanted to rely on his own efforts to rescue Yun Lan and resolve the matter completely.
"This Gu Xingnan is really hateful." Liu Fei said angrily, "Senior Sister has already explained it to him, but he still resorted to such despicable means."
Looking at the angry Liu Fei, Yang Qi sighed in his heart. The reason why Gu Xingnan held Yun Lan so tightly and refused to let go was not only because of Yun Lan himself, but also had something to do with him.
How could a proud person like Gu Xingnan admit defeat easily? No matter what the aspect is, in their eyes, as long as they voluntarily don't want something, no one can snatch it from them.
"This time the investigation was exposed. Gu Xingnan might have received the news. We must find a way to rescue Senior Sister Yun as soon as possible, otherwise I'm worried that Gu Xingnan will take other actions." Yang Qi said in a deep voice.
He had fought Gu Xingnan several times before in the Great Zhou Empire, and he had some understanding of Gu Xingnan. He knew that this person was definitely not the kind of person who would give up easily. (To be continued)
