Chapter 528: Chapter 523: What We Wanted
Fleeing, another frantic escape!
Only this time, there were no clan members behind Li Yaoqing, so she didn’t have to worry about them being killed.
She also wasn’t in a hurry to seek help. It was just that her face, still somewhat pale from recalling the past, was now filled with utter confusion, and also a hint of terror as she thought more deeply on the matter.
"Pharmacist! That lunatic, what on earth did he mean? Who on earth would bring harm upon themselves like that?"
"He has fought with Tian Xing before, and now he is claiming to be plotting with us. Tian Xing is currently in a state of extreme paranoia; he will definitely kill him!"
"How could someone dig their own grave?!!"
Xian Tong felt like he was going to go nuts.
They had come to find a person they had never met before, but unexpectedly, the other party had instantly sold them out, and had sold himself out at the same time. And looking at his posture just now, he was clearly seeking death!
A great battle had already broken out in that Solaria City!
Li Yaoqing did not answer; she also did not know how to answer.
This was the first time she had ever met Shang Mi. Before this, she had never even heard his name. This Prefect of Eternal Sun Prefecture was like a person who did not exist.
But now, upon seeing him, this person... if her guess was not wrong, Shang Mi was the main culprit who had brought ruin to the Li family!
This person had likely long been wary of Tian Xing, but because the Human Emperor and the Imperial Preceptor had their special reasons for not killing Tian Xing, in order to prevent Tian Xing from becoming an uncontrollable existence, Shang Mi needed someone who could kill Tian Xing!
That is why Shang Mi was vexed, vexed that back then, the Li family had no strength to resist Tian Xing.
And at the same time, he was also joyful for the Li family of today, because now the Li family had begun its revenge!
"These powerful nobles!"
Li Yaoqing gritted her teeth; she couldn’t even understand why these powerful nobles insisted on keeping such a close watch on the Li family!
Perhaps it was just as she feared: from the moment they rose to prominence, the powerful nobles had already placed heavy bets on them, and they could only be reduced to the stakes of these gamblers!
However, from behind, the "gambling stakes" pursued them, one by one.
"Li Yaoqing of the Li family, you cannot escape. Let us stop and have a calm discussion."
She could not tell whose voice it was, nor did Li Yaoqing recognize any of Tian Xing’s avatars. She did not turn her head, nor did she say a word.
Tian Xing wants to talk?
She could understand. They possessed the same destiny; those powerful nobles were toying with all of them using their self-righteous arts of political intrigue. But the hatred of the past could never be forgotten.
The Old Ancestor had once said that the family must repay a tooth for a tooth, and blood for blood!
"Pharmacist, there’s a great battle happening in Solaria City right now! There are thirteen people chasing us, none of them below the Nascent Soul realm, and... every single one of their auras is growing stronger!"
Xiantong had no time to consider Li Yaoqing’s thoughts. Right now, he was using his spiritual power to carry Li Yaoqing as they fled.
Their speed was very fast, yet they were being overtaken by the people pursuing them from behind.
Just by sensing the old Divinity Transformation expert who had just spoken, his face had already become unsightly.
His own aptitude was outstanding, but the time since he had reached Divinity Transformation was still short.
That old man behind them... was at the mid-stage of Divinity Transformation, and as his aura grew, he was advancing towards the peak!
"We can’t escape, Pharmacist."
They had already been fleeing for 30 minutes, and there was no telling how far they had run. Below them was a jungle, and the sky was clear for 3000 miles.
Xian Tong and Li Yaoqing stopped in mid-air, and around them, thirteen people in total had them surrounded.
In just an instant, arrays appeared in the sky one after another, and talismans floated up from the bodies of these Tian Xing avatars.
Of those thirteen people, not a single one was below the Nascent Soul realm.
Xian Tong stared vigilantly at the old Divinity Transformation expert.
If Li Kuanghua and the others from the Imperial Capital were here, they would certainly recognize that this was the Qu Yang they had once faced!
This Qu Yang was even more powerful than he had been over a hundred years ago.
He could freely harness the wind of heaven and earth, and wherever it touched within his domain, he could instantly appear.
This also left Xian Tong and Li Yaoqing with no escape!
At this moment, the Wind Law Domain had already enveloped the sky. But Xian Tong could clearly sense Qu Yang’s aura; the Primordial Spirit Techniques that the other party understood numbered no fewer than three!
"Li Yaoqing, more than a hundred years have passed. Lin Wudao has always been wary of you, Li family members; he feels that your potential is great, that you are very strong.
But in my view, what is truly strong about you is not your strength, but your skill at running away.
Back then, Li Kuanghua led the people of Azure Cloud and escaped from my pursuit time and time again.
What a pity, though, that you, as an elder, are not even as good as Li Kuanghua."
Qu Yang sneered. "Come along. Lin Wudao wants to see you."
If it were not for Lin Wudao’s order, he would have even wanted to kill Li Yaoqing directly to vent the frustration from all those years of being toyed with by Li Kuanghua and being beaten into a sorry state and forced to flee by Daoist Shanchen and Ye Xiu!
Unfortunately, the Mark of Tian Xing was on Lin Wudao’s body, and not on his.
However, what surprised Qu Yang was that Li Yaoqing, in the face of him, showed not the slightest hint of panic and still had that same numb expression.
He suppressed the killing intent in his heart and said impatiently, "Li Yaoqing, you people cannot escape. Within the borders of Eternal Sun Prefecture, no one can help you. Even the Prefect, Shang Mi, is someone we can kill at will... If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Wudao wants you to cooperate, your death would have been sealed the moment you showed your faces..."
Qu Yang’s voice came to a halt. A chill suddenly rose up in his body!
It was a chill transmitted from his other avatars!
Before him, Li Yaoqing’s face was still calm. She slowly opened her mouth.
"Coming to Eternal Sun Prefecture, we never thought of escaping. It is just that over these years, we have come to understand that we, at least, cannot oppose an entire prefecture.
So when we sought out Shang Mi, it wasn’t because we wanted him to truly help us fight a battle with you."
"What we wanted was for him to block those who are not involved in this matter."
"Although I don’t know how Shang Mi managed to do it, it seems he was long prepared. From now on, within Eternal Sun Prefecture, you people will also be isolated and helpless!"
