C718 Stealing Pillars

The old man who oversaw the battle on the roof saw the enemy break out of the encirclement and escape, and he couldn't help but roar, his people soared into the sky like a great roc, quietly chasing after the person who had previously hidden behind the house and snatched the things. When that person had just leaped up with one foot, he struck out with his palm, hitting the back of that person's heart precisely. That person immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, but that person did not dare to turn his head. He also didn't dare to stop, borrowing the power of that elder's attack. He ran even faster forward. That elder didn't give up after succeeding with his attack. He shook his arms and took the lead to chase after that person.

With a few leaps, the man jumped onto the roof of the inn. At this moment, the old man had just caught up to that person, and he raised his iron palm and struck that person on the back of his shoulder. That person fell down in response to the palm and smashed through the roof of the inn. He fell into the room along with the debris, landing beside Du Qi.

Du Qi had wanted to reach out to save him, but considering that this matter had nothing to do with him, he did not know them, and more importantly, he did not know who they were and who they were. It was better to avoid unnecessary trouble, so when the man broke the roof and made a noise, he quietly crawled into the bed and pretended to be asleep.

Even though that person's skill was deep, there was a thin layer of cotton under him. That person fell down, but he was still shaken until he gave a muffled groan. Blood spurted out of his mouth like spring water. That person struggled to turn over and get off the ground, but his feet became empty. He nearly fell down. The man could not help but sigh. He suddenly took out something from his pocket and stuffed it into Du Qi's arms, as if he wanted to say something. Seeing that the old man had already followed him, the man hurriedly shut his mouth. He reached out and pushed Du Qi's shoulder, using the force to hit the wall. He forcefully squeezed out of the wall and took the opportunity to kick a piece of rock. He hit the old man's chest.

The old man snorted lightly and easily shattered the rock with a wave of his hand. At the same time, he accelerated his descent. He stretched out his left foot and forcefully tapped on the bed. Then, he bent over and crawled out of the hole in the wall that the man had broken through, chasing after the man.

Du Qi estimated that the thing that the man had stuffed into his arms must be something he had just gotten. He was worried that the old man would not be able to catch up to him and escape. He had no choice but to think of a way to put the thing into Du Qi's arms. He wanted to borrow Du Qi to take the thing away from here. After that, he would look for an opportunity to get it back.

Although Du Qi did not know what the thing that person had hidden in his arms was, he knew that it must be very valuable. At least, it was very valuable to both of them. Otherwise... The four of them wouldn't have taken such a risk to seize it, and the defender wouldn't have been so cautious and persistent in pursuing it.

Although Du Qi had been hanging around on the streets, he was a famous hooligan in Xiangyang. However, he was a young and upstanding person, and was open and aboveboard. He was never willing to take advantage of innocent people. When the man put the thing into his arms, Du Qi was still worried about how to return it to him. However, when that person left and pushed Du Qi's shoulder, Du Qi could not help but change his view of that person. He decided to find out the truth of the matter and see if he should return the thing to the man.

It turned out that the man seemed to push him casually when he left. However, he had taken the opportunity to tap Du Qi's shoulder acupoint with his unique technique. If he hadn't used that person's unique technique... It was impossible to undo the sealed acupoint, which would eventually cause the qi flow in his meridians to explode and die. Fortunately, Du Qi had shifted his acupoint in time and was not harmed by the Longevity Vital Spirit. If it was someone else, they would definitely not be able to escape from that person's vicious hands. Du Qi was angry that his intentions were vicious, and that was why he changed his original intention.

Those four people clearly knew that this place was heavily guarded, yet they still dared to come and steal. This fully showed that they were skilled and bold. Even though those people were chasing them closely, they still managed to escape even though they were heavily injured. However, the hope of catching up to those four people was very slim, even if it was that old man. They might not be able to catch up to that person.

Without a doubt, regardless of whether that old man could catch up to that person, he would return to search everywhere. Du Qi did not want to cause unnecessary trouble in front of them, but they could not immediately get up and leave. After pondering for a moment, Du Qi expanded his Thoughts Domain and found that there were a total of eight people living in the room next door. After confirming that there were no abnormalities in the surroundings, he waved his hand to seal the sleeping point of Mei brothers, which was still asleep. Then, he carried Mei Xiaotian and quietly placed him on the bed in the next room. He also gently sealed the man's sleeping quarters and carried him to the place where Mei Xiaotian had slept just now. After that, he carried Mei Xiaodi and Mei Xiaoren into the next room and also carried three people back. He placed them on Mei Xiaodi, Mei Xiaoren, and the place where he had just laid down. He thought for a moment. He then brought the luggage from the Mei brothers and his own luggage into the room next door, and brought the four bags next to the four people's beds to the four people's side. Then, he unlocked their sleeping spots and restored the room to the appearance of the old man when he left. After that, he returned to the next room and laid down peacefully.

Du Qi had just laid down when a long whistle suddenly sounded from afar. Amidst the long whistle, the old man stopped and walked back along the road. It was obvious that he was searching for that thing, but he didn't know whether he had caught up to that person or not.

The old man returned to the room where Du Qi and the others were just in, and after a slight inspection, he came out from the hole in the roof. He returned to the place where those people had been fighting, and found nothing. The old man searched carefully according to the route that the person had taken to escape. He was afraid that he would miss out on some useful clues. Especially when he had examined the four people very carefully, he had even checked their pulse. It was used to confirm whether the four people were pretending to be asleep or that they had martial arts skills.

Du Qi could not help but admire the old man's meticulous observation. At the same time, he felt fortunate. He was glad that he saw the opportunity early. Otherwise, he would have gotten himself into trouble. Although he was not afraid, trouble was inevitable.

Du Qi was most afraid of trouble now! Hence, he focused his attention on the old man's condition. However, he could not obtain any information about the old man even if he used all his strength. He thought that he had already gone far away. He just didn't know when he would return. Should he come and search again?

While he was investigating the old man and the others and the situation around him, Du Qi's thoughts didn't stop. He had been thinking about how to solve the root of the problem by himself. Without a doubt, the four of them would wake up tomorrow morning and find out that they were not in their original room. Plus, there was a big hole in the roof for no reason, so it would definitely cause a commotion. At that time, those people would not have to ask. They would only watch from the sidelines and know the whole story. At that time, they would still suspect Du Qi. Therefore... They could only get rid of those four people once and for all.

Du Qi did as he thought of it. He gently got up. Just as he was about to open the door, he suddenly felt that the old man had returned. He wasn't the only one. There seemed to be four or five of them. He thought that the people who had been chasing him had all returned. However, he didn't know whether they had succeeded or not.

They walked and stopped, obviously searching for that thing along the way. Du Qi didn't dare to go and find another person. He hurriedly jumped back onto the bed and hid under the covers.
