“Follow procedures? Sure, Deputy Director Tang, please wait for a while. I am going to make a call.”
Niu Fenjiao walked away to make the call since it was apparent that Tang Tianhao was not going to do her bidding.
At that same time, Tang Tianhao’s phone rang. It was his son, Tang Meng.
“h.e.l.lo, Pops, have you brought your men with you? Is my boss alright?” Tang Meng bombarded his father with questions the second his phone call connected.
None of Zhuang Meifeng, Tie Xiaohu and Tang Meng could relax in the rental house. The trio had waited anxiously for fifteen minutes before Tang Meng decided it was time to give his Father a call.
Tang Tianhao smiled and explained the current situation briefly. Tang Meng was so happy that he hung up before his father finished his sentence.
“Okay, there is no need to worry anymore. Big Brother Yun is fine, let’s go over now!”
That was welcoming news. Zhuang Meifeng and Tie Xiaohu had long been tired of waiting. The trio were in agreement and left in a taxi immediately.
…
“I just need Little White here. Do you see the two girls over there? Help me protect them. Don’t come up with any other funny ideas!” Ling Yun told Xiao Meimei as he pointed to Cao Shanshan and Xue Meining who were still standing in the stairway.
Ling Yun embraced Little White tightly in his arms so that he could speed up the absorption of her spiritual energy. His spiritual energy was about thirty percent now.
Little White had a fascinatingly shy expression on her foxy face even though she did not know why she was being embraced.
Xiao Meimei looked at Ling Yun strangely. Her mouth hooked upwards seductively. She nodded and headed towards the stairway. Except for cautioning Ling Yun to be careful, she stayed silent about the situation. They had to face the enemy first and foremost.
Ling Yun began taking stock of his weapons. He had a few dozen ordinary Fire Talismans, about a hundred potent Fire Talismans created by the mystical brush, about half of his big needles and quite a considerable number of steel nails left.
Ling Yun had yet to use his trump card, the mystical brush. If the situation called for it, Ling Yun was confident that he could kill both Priest Compa.s.sionless and Liu Deming.
The enemy was currently in an unfavorable situation. Priest Compa.s.sionless probably had only half of his combat power left since his burn was pretty severe. Their strongest fighter, He Xingyan, basically had a disabled right arm which would severely affect his attacks.
The tide was @definitely in Ling Yun’s favor!
Ling Yun could see that Miao Xiaomiao was at least at Houtian Realm Level Six. The current enemy’s forces was of no problem to them if the superior golden silkworm on Miao Xiaomiao’s shoulder would lend him its help.
Little White had yet to fully recover from her internal injuries even though Ling Yun had deployed the Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot. Little White’s greatest a.s.set now was her speed. Ling Yun’s Dragon Fish Phantom Ability was no match for Little White. She could actually help him delay any one of their opponents!
Ling Yun was confident about handling two masters by himself once his spiritual energy reached forty percent!
Ling Yun could continue to absorb spiritual energy from Little White as long as he stayed within twenty meters of her. The pure and potent spiritual energy would enable Ling Yun to attack with his Tiangang Demon Fist and the Vault of Heaven Fist!
He had Xiao Meimei look after Cao Shanshan and Xue Meining. Kang Ruiyong was looking after that b.a.s.t.a.r.d Sun Xing, and about forty policemen were pointing their guns with their eyes peeled!
Ling Yun had an absolute advantage with his worries taken care of! He planned on pouncing on the four masters once the negotiation on both sides failed!
“What are you planning to do?” Miao Xiaomiao asked Ling Yun. She was not stupid enough to wait alone in the field while the four masters protected Niu Fenjiao.
“Is there a need to ask? Those four nearly killed me just now. I have to kill them for revenge!” Ling Yun chuckled.
Miao Xiaomiao’s brows arched with Ling Yun’s frankness. “The police have taken control of the situation. You can just leave. Why is there a need to kill?” Miao Xiaomiao asked coldly.
“Leave? That’s naive. Do you really think they will let me go if I leave?” Ling Yun scorned.
“Do you see that? I killed those three because they were out to kill me. Even if I were to leave tonight, what about tomorrow? The day after? This will not be settled unless one side perishes.” Ling Yun smiled cruelly as he pointed towards the three corpses at the side.
Miao Xiaomiao was speechless for awhile before she said her piece. “In any case, I will not help you murder anyone. I don’t have any grudge against them.”
Ling Yun had not expected Miao Xiaomiao to appear anyway. “Miao Xiaomiao, I don’t care why you entered Grade 12 Cla.s.s 6, but remember — You came on your own accord tonight. n.o.body invited you. No one will stop you if you leave now. You don’t have to act all saintly and teach me what to do!” He smiled and said indifferently.
Ling Yun was not ignorant enough to think that Miao Xiaomiao had come specifically to save him. Miao Xiaomiao was a great beauty in her own right and had that superior golden silkworm. That only put him on his guard!
“You!” Miao Xiaomiao was furious with Ling Yun’s nonchalant att.i.tude. “You are really ungrateful!”
Miao Xiaomiao could not afford to leave. She had to protect Xue Meining.
Ling Yun ignored Miao Xiaomiao and concentrated on absorbing the spiritual energy from Little White.
Ling Yun, Miao Xiaomiao and the four masters turned their heads towards the grove simultaneously!
A black figure was fast approaching them by stepping on the branches of the trees in the rain!
“Haha, I was wondering why there were so many police cars. This place turned out to be really lively!”
Dugu Mo was in a long black robe and his long hair fluttered in the wind. He had a sword in his right hand and displayed his prowess in plain sight. He pa.s.sed over two hundred meters and landed on the lawn in front of the villa.
All eyes were fixated on Dugu Mo as the dynamics on the field started changing!
A portion of the police officers turned their pistols immediately onto Dugu Mo.
Dugu Mo was at Houtian Realm Level Eight, so he was impenetrable by bullets. He surveyed and understood the situation on the field. He walked directly towards Ling Yun when he landed.
“Ling Yun, I didn’t think we would meet so soon. It seems like you are in deep sh*t. Shall I lend a hand?”
How could Ling Yun be such a trouble magnet? Dugu Mo wondered.
Ling Yun put Little White down immediately and greeted the nosy Dugu Mo.
“That goes without asking! These people are huge bullies. They kidnapped my wife, hurt my friend and are also trying to kill me—”
Dugu Mo’s brows narrowed and stopped Ling Yun mid-sentence. “What are you waiting for then? Fight! Get these policemen to put down their useless guns!”
Dugu Mo was itching to head in since there were so many highly skilled fighters present. It so happened that he recognized three of the four opponents — the Monk and the two Daoist Priests. They were harboring designs on the Crater. What better time to strike than now?
“This guy is f*cking straightforward!” Ling Yun was elated that someone was on the same frequency as him. He appeared in front of Tang Tianhao, not forgetting to give Miao Xiaomiao a delighted smile first.
Ling Yun used his telepathic skills to establish a private line with Tang Tianhao. “Uncle Tang, I am sure you know by now that the fight tonight is a matter between us pract.i.tioners. It is not good for you to be involved directly. Please just keep the situation under control. Leave the rest to me!”
Tang Tianhao nodded with a smile. “Can you do it?”
Ling Yun cackled. “I wasn’t sure earlier, but I have one hundred percent confidence now!”
After that, Ling Yun used his Thousand Miles G.o.dly Steps to cover twenty meters to the center of the battlefield. He raised his hand in the direction of the four masters and shouted, “Priest Compa.s.sionless and Priestess Heartless, you pair of adulterers, didn’t you enjoy the beating from me just now? Come out and face your death!”
The lie forged by Ling Yun — that they were a pair of adulterers — would be twisted into unshakable truth after tonight!
“Good lad, you do have your tricks!” Dugu Mo zoomed to Ling Yun’s side and stood proudly.
Infuriated, both Priest Compa.s.sionless and Priestess Heartless rushed in at the same time!
“Evil creature! You think you are so good just because someone came to help you. Die!”
Priest Compa.s.sionless swung his staff towards Ling Yun’s head but missed! Rain splashed against his staff!
He Xingyan and Liu Deming rushed onto the field at the same time. They hoped to end the battle quickly!
“Great!” Dugu Mo joined in the fight excitedly. He pulled his sword out from its sheath and confronted He Xingyan directly.
Little White had stuck by Ling Yun like a shadow on his instructions. It turned into a silver-white lightning without warning and deterred Priestess Heartless for Ling Yun!
Liu Deming knew that the most critical thing was to subdue Ling Yun. He rushed directly for Ling Yun, waving his fly-whisk!
The difference in their realms were apparent. Priest Compa.s.sionless had only half of his combat power left, but he still held the upper hand during the confrontation with Ling Yun.
Liu Deming entered the chaotic arena and fought alongside Priest Compa.s.sionless against Ling Yun. Ling Yun could only dodge with his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability.
“Ha! With your current ability, how did you even manage to survive just now? And now you want to kill them?”
Sick of Ling Yun’s perceived incompetence, Miao Xiaomiao dashed into the fight, blocking Liu Deming’s attack on Ling Yun!
“Finally willing to help?” Ling Yun sneaked a peek and grinned.
