C1556 Caged Animal(2)

The cold night was mournful and clear. The courtyard was completely silent. The air seemed to have solidified, making it hard for one to breathe.

Ever since the incident at the airport, Zhang Sanmeng and Shen Lingfeng had informed Old Master Liu to recall all of the Liu Family's close relatives to Lin Bai's courtyard. Being with them day and night was not an urgent matter, and one must not take even half a step out of the house.

"I originally thought that sending them out was to settle the matter peacefully and endure the calm for a while, but I really didn't expect that …" Staring at the darkness of the night, Shen Lingfeng could not help but let out a long sigh. With a bitter smile on his face, he said:

"It is not a disaster, it is a disaster that cannot be avoided. This kind of thing, since the moment that fake was revealed, is impossible to hide from. Without Cheng Jue and the other two, those people will find someone else. " Zhang SanKuang shook his head lightly and said.

"The three days period is almost up. What if we don't hand over anyone within three days?" Shen Lingfeng nodded his head and said. How could he not know that everything was just like what Zhang SanKuang said. Those people did not care about Wan Cheng Jue or who. All they needed was an excuse. Without Wan Cheng Jue and the other two, those people would find someone else.

Don't even mention that they are not in our hands, even if they are, we will not hand them over! If he really did that, then even if those people really did let him go, the hearts of the people in the world would be disheartened! Furthermore, do you think that if that kid Yu Shaoqing thinks that Cheng Jue and the other two will return, he will give us three days' time to report back?! " Zhang San Meng shook his head and smiled bitterly.

When Shen Lingfeng heard these words, his expression immediately became nervous. He stared at Zhang SanKuang and said with a deep voice, "What you mean is that Cheng Jue, You Shan, and Jing Yun are already dead?"

"With Yu Shaoqing's personality, it isn't rare for him to kill someone to keep their mouth shut." Zhang San Kuang thought for a while, then slowly said with a hint of doubt on his face, "However, Yu Shaoqing said that Cheng Jue and the others were saved by the Wind and Earth Monsters, so it's not impossible."

"It would be great if they were really saved by those two old monsters. At the very least, those two old monsters aren't completely devoid of conscience. They should be able to protect their safety." Shen Lingfeng also looked helpless upon hearing those words, but his eyes were filled with grief.

Ever since the upheaval, the people of the Divine Abilities Bureau had become dispirited. Only a few people were still able to stay in the Divine Abilities Bureau. Wan Cheng Jue and the other two were the mainstay of this group. He had chased them out of the Divine Abilities Bureau and arranged a new destination for them. He had originally wanted them to avoid disaster, but he hadn't thought that he would actually push them into a pit of fire.

If something really happened to them, Shen Lingfeng would probably never be able to get past this trial in his entire life.

"Have you contacted Sister-in-law Gale and the others recently?" After pondering for a while, Zhang SanKuang slowly said with a look of expectation on his face.

After Xia Xiaoqing came back, she told them everything she had seen and heard from the Snow Curtain Paradise. Although that matter was a bit illusory, it still ignited a spark of hope in Zhang Sanming's heart in the face of such a devastating situation.

Especially in such a depressing and suffocating situation like this, he was increasingly looking forward to He Jia Er and the rest being able to find Lin Bai's whereabouts according to the information they had gathered in the Snow Curtain Paradise.

"Not yet, their phone is dead. I think they're somewhere far away again …" Without waiting for Shen Lingfeng to speak, the old man's melodious voice slowly drifted over with the wind. He then slowly walked towards the two of them while leaning on his walking stick. He lightly smiled and said: "It's already so late, why aren't the two of you grabbing some time to rest?"

Although it had only been a short year, Old Master Liu's body and mental state were both much older than they were a year ago. Although the elders did not consume the medicine that Zhang SanKuang and the others had used to concoct it, they were still getting older with each passing day. After all, medicine could only cure the body, but it could not cure a person's heart. If one's heart was broken, no matter how good the medicine was, it might not be effective.

"Lordmaster, aren't you still sleeping? You haven't slept, how could we dare to sleep?" Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanmeng couldn't help but joke with the elders as he said, "Staying here for the past two days has caused you all trouble."

"When people age, their sleep becomes shallow. I've already slept. We're all family, so what trouble can we get? Furthermore, you came to protect us, so we didn't even have the time to thank you. " He shook his head with a bitter smile, "I thought that I would be able to enjoy my blessings when I'm old, but I didn't think that I would have one foot in the coffin, and want to hang out in the open again!"

Don't say that, old man. You're in your prime, and you'll need to be in charge of our base, giving us advice and being our guide. You have to take care of your health. After hearing the elder's words, although Zhang Sanmang felt a bit sour in his heart, he still had a smile on his face as he comforted him warmly.

"Don't pacify my heart. These old bones of mine have long become a burden to all of you." He turned his head to glance at the sky and sighed emotionally, "I don't even know when that boy will return. If it was just a little later, then this old man and I would have already been packed into small boxes and sent to the memorial hall."

"Youngest junior brother will definitely come back. Don't worry, as long as you recover, you will be more important than anything else." When Shen Lingfeng heard his words, he immediately tried to console him. However, deep within his eyes, there was a tinge of sadness.

He'd known old man Liu for more than a day or two. In all these years, the old tutor had always fought against time with an unyielding attitude, like an old warrior. He had never felt such a strong sense of death from this old man before, nor had he ever felt such a strong sense of death from this old man. How could this discovery not make him feel sad?

Following Old Man Liu's words, the entire crowd instantly fell silent. It was as if the air itself had frozen, causing people's hearts to become heavy.

"Who is it?!" Right at this moment, Zhang Sanming's eyebrows shot up. Instantly, he formed a seal with his hand and executed the Nine Secret Words. He then blocked Shen Lingfeng and Old Master Liu behind him, pretending to be alert.

Just as he finished speaking, a piercing sound came from outside the room as two dazzling arrows flew towards a certain direction! Seeing this arrow light, Zhang SanKuang immediately felt relieved. It was the soldiers who were trained by Lin Bai and the Nine Star Arcane Art. Clearly, they had discovered something abnormal and had released arrows in succession!

Lin Bai had obtained the Nine Stars Sun Chasing Arrow from Zhao Song's descendant, and it was modified through deduction, weakening the negative effects, and thus cancelling the arrow technique from seizing the life force of the human body! The continuous shooting of arrows had the effect of an all-out attack from a Heavenly Transformation Stage cultivator. Furthermore, it wouldn't have any backlash from the heaven and earth, it was truly marvelous.

It had to be said that during this year, a large part of the reason why the Liu Family members were able to keep themselves safe was because of these soldiers who were proficient in the Nine Star Arrows of the Sun. When the rumors about the elixir and the Hutu book appeared, there were people spying on the Liu family and even sending elites to attack them. Without exception, those who came were all killed by these warriors' lightning-fast methods.

It was because of the fact that their heads had fallen on the ground three times that the people's thoughts had shifted to other places to ensure the safety of the Liu Family.

However, before Zhang SanKuang could completely relax, two balls of Supreme Yang Qi suddenly arrived from the sky and pounced towards the two arrows. When the two came into contact, the two balls of pure Yang energy seemed to have been crushed like rotten weeds as they tore apart the arrow beam. Then, with boundless might, the two balls of pure Yang energy dashed towards the arrow beam!

A Qi warrior at the Sun God Stage! Seeing those two balls of pure Yang Qi, the corner of Zhang SanKuang's eye slightly trembled, and his heart couldn't help but thump. One had to know that among the Practitioners, there were very few who were able to reach the pinnacle of the Three Flowers Gathering. A Yang God Stage Practitioner was already a rare expert, and their techniques were comparable to a God Transforming Cultivator, which was not something these warriors could defend against.

"Men, do not go against them. All of you, quickly retreat!" Without any hesitation, Zhang SanKuang quickly formed hand seals, blocking the two bundles of Supreme Yang Qi while shouting at the warriors.

The difference in realm between the two sides was too great. If these warriors were to come in contact with the two masses of Supreme Yang Qi, they would probably be instantly killed by Yang Sha! These people had put in a lot of effort and effort to protect the Liu Family. They could not afford to lose anything!

"Three days, today is the first day, you have two days left!" However, before Zhang San Kuang's Dharma Idol could rush out, the two balls of Supreme Yang Qi had already arrived in front of the few warriors who had shot out the continuous arrows like shooting stars. From the location where the Pure Yang Spirit Qi came from, two gloomy and sinister voices, which sounded like the mournful cries of an owl, causing one's heart to turn cold upon hearing them.

Most importantly, the volume of the voices was weakening. It was clear that the two men who had attacked were not interested in a battle. Once they succeeded, they would quickly leave! This method was truly terrifying.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The moment he finished speaking, three black shadows fell from the walls of the courtyard. Then, the sound of three heavy objects landing on the ground could be heard from the courtyard! Obviously, under the attack of the pure Yang energy just now, three warriors died in the line of duty!

Looking at the three of them, whose faces had turned incomparably sinister and fresh blood overflowing from their seven orifices, Old Master Liu could not help but fall back on his chair, his face twitching uncontrollably. Tears welled in his eyes, and even his fingertips trembled!

Although Old Man Liu had always held an incomparable amount of dignity and refused to budge in his life at home, he had always loved his soldiers like sons!

But right now, there were three soldiers who had lost their lives to protect him. How could Old Master Liu, who had long since treated these soldiers as his grandchildren, suppress the resentment and grief in his heart?
