Chapter 675: Ling Yun Leaves Qingshui
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Obviously, Ling Yun couldn’t let Cao Tianlong kneel before him. Sending out a gust of wind with his hand, he pushed Cao Tianlong’s body back into a seated position.
Thinking carefully, Ling Yun said in a low voice after a while, “What about the people who were pursuing you? How many were there, and where are they now?”
Cao Tianlong was stunned for a moment because Ling Yun hadn’t made contact with his body at all. However, he felt a gentle power and strength envelop his body, stopping him from kneeling. He was thoroughly shocked!
One had to understand that two months ago, Cao Shanshan had given him a call when she was still at Qingshui High. At the time, Ling Yun had just broken through his body’s limits!
“There were three of them. I managed to steal a car and temporarily escape from them. They must be in Qingshui City by now…”
Soon, Cui Lao arrived at Mansion Number One. Once he saw Cao Tianlong, his expression changed. However, he didn’t say a word.
Cui Lao knew Cao Tianlong, but Cao Tianlong didn’t know him. The number of people who knew Cui Lao and were from the seven large families in Beijing amounted to very few.
Ling Yun stood up slowly. “Is there any way you can bait them?”
Cao Tianlong responded, “They can smell my blood from a distance of 2km away. They’re the Blood Clan!”
Once Cui Lao heard this, his expression changed immediately. He asked in a low voice, “What? The Blood Clan?”
Cui Lao was far too shocked. He suspected his ears were playing tricks on him! The Blood Clan and the Cao Family? How did these two parties get involved with each other?
“That’s great. You don’t have to take a shower. We shall not wait any longer. Cui Lao, we don’t have to wait until tomorrow anymore. Tonight, we make our move. We’ll head to Beijing!”
Ling Yun had finished everything he had to prepare. It was the same to him whether he left tonight or the next morning. Now, he knew that the Cao Family was in huge trouble and that Cao Shanshan’s whereabouts were unknown. How could Ling Yun wait until tomorrow?
Ling Yun said to Tie Xiaohu in a deep voice, “Xiaohu, Cao Tianlong’s blood is on you. Hurry and take off your clothes, then take a bath. Go!”
Tie Xiaohu left accordingly. Luckily, there were only four men in the house. There was nothing for him to be ashamed of, so he took off his clothes and walked to the bathroom naked.
Ling Yun grabbed Tie Xiaohu’s clothes. Without attempting to hide anything from Cao Tianlong, he stored that set of clothes into his spatial ring.
“What…” Cao Tianlong was shocked.
“Wait here!” Ling Yun didn’t explain anything. He flew back to the house and took off all his clothes. Then, he changed into his stealth clothes that were made of Golden Black Devilish Silk.
By this time, Tie Xiaohu finished his bath as well. Ling Yun put him in a tank top and a casual pair of bermudas. Then, he said, “Tonight, you don’t have to stay in this mansion anymore. Return home, and have a good rest. After tonight, you can cultivate here, once the danger is gone.”
Even an expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight couldn’t handle them. Currently, Tie Xiaohu was only at the early stages of Houtian Realm Level Six. If they came hunting for their prey in this house by smell, wouldn’t he just be a sitting duck that was waiting to be executed?
“Oh, right. There’s one more thing. My Land Rover is still at Cui Lao’s. Remember to drive it here tomorrow…”
Before Tie Xiaohu left, his eyes welled up with tears as he said, “Brother Yun, you have to make sure that you take care of yourself. I will definitely put my all into cultivation so that I can reach the Xiantian Realm as soon as possible!”
Ling Yun smiled calmly. He patted Tie Xiaohu’s shoulder and said, “You’re a martial arts talent. Xiantian Realm is a place you can attain within a year. Don’t rush. I’ve taught you everything you need to know. All that’s left is to focus on your cultivation. You don’t have to worry about me!”
“No matter what happens, you have to give me a call…”
Tie Xiaohu nodded heavily as he engraved his words in his heart and left.
Ling Yun tossed the clothes he had worn to Cao Tianlong. “Wear these…”
Cao Tianlong was also 180cm tall, and the two of them had a similar build, so wearing Ling Yun’s clothes wasn’t a problem.
“Ling Yun… the Blood Clan can’t die at night. You, do you want to head there tonight no matter what?”
Cao Tianlong didn’t expect Ling Yun to be more anxious than himself. He was only afraid that Ling Yun didn’t know about the Blood Clan’s power and weaknesses, so he reminded him.
Ling Yun replied casually, “At night, they’re immortal. What about during the day?”
Cao Tianlong replied, “In the day, they wouldn’t dare to make a move. They’re afraid of sunlight… the Blood Clan uses the blood of humans and livestock to sustain themselves. Their abilities are amazingly strong, while their defense is terrifying. Furthermore, they are exceedingly fast… when they transform, their power is several times stronger…”
Ling Yun laughed coldly. “Alright, we’ll talk about the rest on the way. Now that it’s still dark, we’ll get going. We’ll have them chase after us!”
With that, Ling Yun led the two out of the mansion. He let Cao Tianlong continue driving that lousy car. Meanwhile, he drove a black Audi. Taking Cui Lao along with him, the three of them drove in two separate cars as they left Mansion Number One.
“You don’t have to drive too quickly. Just cruise on like this. We’ll decide what to do after we get out of Qingshui City…”
Ling Yun used telepathy to communicate with Cao Tianlong, who was driving ahead.
At the same time, Ling Yun sent Ning Lingyu and Tang Meng texts. He said that he had something urgent to attend to, so he was leaving Qingshui with Cui Lao early. After he reached Beijing, he would give them a call.
Ling Yun didn’t forget about the three spiritual herbs in the courtyard. He told Bai Xianer to hurry back tonight to protect the herbs in Mansion Number One.
Once everything was in order, Ling Yun began to focus on driving. With one car in front and the other at the back, he followed Cao Tianlong and headed north. Soon, they left the city.
On the way out, Ling Yun used his divine sense to probe in an 80-meter radius. However, he didn’t find anything out of the ordinary. He began to accelerate and drove next to Cao Tianlong.
“Why are you driving such a lousy car?” Ling Yun started to antagonize Cao Tianlong. He could tell that Cao Tianlong was very nervous. He was far too tense, which would affect his cultivation in the future.
“I got this from the gas station near the swirling highway. At the time, I nearly lost my life. I even used the security camera at the gas station to shake the Blood Clan…”
“Where’s your own car?”
“It ran out of gas. It’s 10km away…”
Ling Yun was speechless. He thought that Cao Tianlong was truly impressive. Perplexed, he gave Tang Meng a call. “Tang Meng, there are two things I want you to do. Firstly, there’s a car parked on Jingqing Highway. It’s 10km away from Qingshui City. Send someone to drive that car back. Remember to wash the car thoroughly before driving it home!”
“Secondly, there’s a person who stole a car at the swirling highway’s gas station. Tell your dad to ignore this matter for now. The car will be returned soon.”
From the side, Cao Tianlong listened to his words clearly. He wondered how great Ling Yun’s influence was in Qingshui City. How could he settle everything with a single call?
The two cars arrived at the junction where Cao Tianlong escaped. Several police cars were already parked there, their sirens sounding non-stop. They were currently questioning the car’s owner and the gas station employee.
Ling Yun asked cheerfully, “I have to say, have you recovered fully? Send this car back. Drop it off, shake them off, and get into my car. Can you do that?”
Cao Tianlong saw how Ling Yun looked so carefree and relaxed. Even though he was a little upset, his face didn’t display a single trace of anxiety. He was always able to release an aura of security and ease as a military man.
“No problem!” Cao Tianlong got rid of all of his doubts. He was completely absorbed by Ling Yun, and his confidence recovered bit by bit.
With that, Cao Tianlong stepped on the pedal as he drove straight to the gas station that was surrounded by police cars. He hollered, “You don’t have to investigate anymore, I’m here to return the car!”
Once his words came to an end, the car stopped as well. Cao Tianlong stepped on the brakes. Without waiting for the crowd to react, he flew out. With two hops, he appeared next to Ling Yun’s Audi. He opened the car door and hopped in.
Ling Yun laughed aloud as he stepped on the accelerator, and the Audi shot into the night like a bullet.
After speeding a kilometer away, it was as if Ling Yun was afraid that the enemies wouldn’t catch up to him. He decelerated once again and cruised slowly. At the same time, he pulled out the set of clothes Tie Xiaohu had worn from his spatial ring. With a casual toss, he handed it to Cao Tianlong, who was seated in the backseat.
“If there isn’t enough blood, get it flowing. I cleaned you up too well just now…”
Cao Tianlong was still feeling traumatized from before. He frowned and said, “Are we really going to bait the three descendants out? They’re really difficult to handle!”
Ling Yun smiled proudly. “Relax, if I tell you to do it, do it. I a.s.sure you that you’ll be fine!”
Cao Tianlong understood the situation. If Ling Yun really had a way to deal with the Blood Clan, then the Cao Family could really be saved. If he couldn’t, the Cao Family’s lineage would definitely come to an end. There was no point, even if he lived.
Steeling his heart, he pulled out a military dagger and slashed his left arm decisively!
Bright red blood began flowing. In an instant, Cao Tianlong’s entire elbow was soaked in blood, dripping on his body.
“I like your guts!” Ling Yun used his divine sense as he monitored everything around him.
Then, Ling Yun saw a silver-gray luxury car chase them using the back mirror in the Audi.
“Is that the car?” Without turning back, Ling Yun asked Cao Tianlong.
Turning to look, Cao Tianlong saw that it was indeed that same silver-gray luxury car. This had been his biggest nightmare over the past few days. With one look, Cao Tianlong nodded non-stop. “That’s right. This is the car!”
“Great! Let’s take them for a ride!”
Before Ling Yun finished his words, he pushed the pedal to the floor. The Audi drove at its maximum speed as it sped towards the north.
After a few minutes, Ling Yun saw the black luxury car Cao Tianlong parked by the roadside. However, he didn’t slow down. He continued speeding for a distance of 10km before he finally slowed.
That silver-gray car continued to chase after them without any intention of decelerating.
“They’re coming!”
Ling Yun smiled as he accelerated the car a little again. That was because, in front of the road, there was a green mountain peak. It was the perfect location to a.s.sa.s.sinate and loot a person.
When the silver-gray car pa.s.sed by, Ling Yun used his divine sense and saw the three people inside.
“Foreigners?” Ling Yun was shocked.
The way Cao Tianlong talked about the Blood Clan, he thought that they were strange monsters. Who would have guessed that they were actually foreigners?
Since they weren’t monsters, that made things easier to handle.
In front of them, the silver-gray car slowed gradually. Finally, it pulled to a complete stop before Ling Yun’s car.
Ling Yun laughed coldly as he tossed out a Healing Talisman casually. It landed perfectly onto Cao Tianlong’s elbow. Then, he hollered, “Activate.” In an instant, Cao Tianlong’s knife-wound recovered.
“Get out of the car, we’re heading into the forest!” Ling Yun hollered in a deep voice as he flew out of the car, das.h.i.+ng headfirst into the thick woods!
