When night fell, before Xiao Qidao returned, Auntie Ye could no longer sit still.
She went to fight for Anjou, and learned that Anjou had gone to the Armies to see Chen Zaiyan, the soldier minister, and had not yet returned.
She then asked Gu Qianye and Qu Liuxi. After knowing that the two of them weren"t here, she immediately panicked and had no choice but to go out on her own to find them.
He was about to go out when he saw Dean. He stopped him.
After he asked what was going on, the skinny Du comforted her, ""Auntie, just relax. Others don"t know what cultivation level Xiao Qishao has, but don"t you?""
He"s the only one who can bully others, so he won"t be bullied. Don"t worry, I"ll go out and find him.
In any case, you are still a criminal of the imperial court, so don"t go out. ""
The thin Du looked for Long Jing, who was chatting with the big guys, and the two of them brought the big guys to go out to find him.
""Xiao Qidao"s personality is simple. If anything happens, he"ll be tricked,"" said Du.
However, with his strength, it shouldn"t be difficult for him to escape.
""Let"s split up and find him as soon as possible.""
Ever since Lan Jing arrived at the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect, he has liked everything here, everyone, even every rock.
The people here were friendly and sincere, treating him as a friend or relative.
When he heard that Xiao Qidao could not be found, he was also anxious. ""No matter what, Xiao Qidao is only a seven or eight year old child. The evil methods of the martial arts world are complicated, and there are many things that he hasn"t encountered.""
""Let"s hurry up and find it. What if we suffer a loss?""
The two of them led their men in different directions.
At the beginning, he was not too anxious, thinking that Xiao Qidao might have been playing around and forgotten about the time.
But when they found them and found nothing, their hearts became anxious.
After receiving the news, An Zaiyan rushed back from Chen Zaiyan"s side and sent out everyone from the Heavenly Enlightenment Sect. One street after another was turned upside down.
But after the latter half of the night, he still hadn"t found anything.
Lang Jing looked around and saw that the dark night had already enveloped Fang Bancheng. The bad premonition in his heart was getting stronger and stronger.
""Let"s split up and search.""
Lang Jing waved his hand and ordered the big men to disperse.
Fang Bancheng was not some peerless city, but for a seven or eight year old child, he was still a little too big.
No matter how talented Xiao Qidao was, he would still panic if he encountered such a situation.
Lan Jing walked along the street. Even he didn"t know what kind of place he was in. He only knew that he was in the western part of the city.
People in Fang Gu City would often mention that the people living in Fang Gu City were poor, poor, and from the north to the south. The people living in the east city were merchants or n.o.bles, and all of them were rich families.
Most of the people living in the western city were officials of the imperial court.
As for the north and south, they were both poor citizens.
The only exception was the Heavenly Temple, which was located in the north.
Therefore, the commoners in North City were better than those in South City at least on the surface.
There were many big families living in the western part of the city, so it seemed like there were no people on the streets. Perhaps there would be experts hiding somewhere.
However, at this point of time, Lan Jing didn"t care about anything else. He blindly looked around, hoping to find Xiao Qi waiting for him at the next intersection.
Rang Jing walked to the door of a shop that was still open. Inside, it was brightly lit.
This was a casino, and only the casino remained open for 24 hours.
As for any casino in Fang Gengcheng that was already on the bandstand, they were all from the Gao Family.
Lang Jing took a glance inside, wondering if Xiao Qidao had been cheated into gambling with the money. After that, he hurriedly ran inside.
The casino wasn"t big, so no matter how luxurious the decorations were, it couldn"t cover up the unique filth of a casino.
The unpleasant odor and the decadent crowd had lasted for nearly an entire night, and the faces of everyone here had turned pale.
""Excuse me, have you seen a seven or eight year old boy? He is very spirited and beautiful. His eyes are big and he loves to laugh.""
Lan Jing asked the casino attendant at the entrance of the room. The attendant was still sleepy. He waved his hand impatiently and said, ""I don"t see anything. If you want to bet twice, then come in. If you don"t want to, then don"t get in the way. Hurry up and leave.""
Lan Jing looked into the room, but didn"t see Xiao Qi"s figure, so he turned around and walked out.
At this moment, a loud bang came from the casino, followed by a small figure rushing out.
Lan Jing turned his head to see Xiao Qi, whose face was deathly pale, smash a hole in the wall behind the casino and stagger out.
""Seven paths!""
Lang Jing hugged Xiao Qi tightly. ""What"s wrong?""
When Xiao Qishao saw Rang Jing, his small body relaxed a little. ""The people here … took away quite a few children and kept them in the back … I accidentally got caught by them, showing that I was sprayed with something. I was stabbed again and lost my strength in an instant. I"ve just recovered a little bit.""
Lang Jing saw that there was a wound on Xiao Qitao"s forehead and blood was dripping down. It was obvious that he crashed his head against the wall just now. This meant that he had a powerful cultivation. Otherwise, he would have been knocked unconscious long ago.
""You bunch of trash!""
A middle-aged fatty rushed over from the backyard and glanced at Lang Jing and Xiao Qi in his arms: ""Friend, you"d better not meddle in other people"s business. This is the Gao Family"s residence. Think about the consequences of offending the Gao Family.""
Lang Jing coldly snorted, ""You captured my brother, have you ever thought about what would happen?""
The fatty"s expression changed. ""Capture?""
I think you misunderstood.
Now, come in and I"ll explain to you what"s going on.
Your brother may have been playing for too long, so he was confused. ""
Xiao Qizhao weakly shook his head. ""I"m not playing. They caught me halfway. There are at least ten children in the backyard. They were the ones who captured me.""
Lang Jing looked at the people who were fighting at the casino and asked Xiao Qi in a low voice, ""Can you hold on to my back?""
Xiao Qitao nodded, but his hands and feet really did not have much strength.
As Lang Jing slowly retreated, he tore off his clothes and tied Little Seven to himself. ""Rumor has it that the Gao Family"s people are loyal, impartial, and heroic.""
""I never thought that the Gao Family"s casino would be like this, selling children … Looks like the Gao Family"s people are just a bunch of b.a.s.t.a.r.ds.""
The fat middle-aged man cupped his fist and said, ""Friend, there must be some misunderstanding between us.""
Why don"t you come in and I"ll buy you a drink and let us explain. ""
With a wave of his hand, the surrounding casino thugs surrounded him.
The fatty instructed in a low voice, ""We can"t spread this around, or we"ll all die.""
Don"t let any of the people in this casino out tonight. ""
Lang Jing had been raised by a wild wolf since he was young, and his hearing and hearing were much stronger than ordinary people.
Thus, when the middle-aged fatty said these words, he did not miss a single word.
Lan Jing looked around. Those casino fighters didn"t seem to be very powerful. Only the fatty seemed to be unable to see through them.
Feeling that Little Seven was about to fall asleep again, Lan Jing suddenly turned around and dashed in the direction he had come from.
""Kill all the people in the room, keep your hands and feet clean, leave this person to me.""
The middle-aged fatty ordered coldly, then he chased after Lang Jing with a tap of his feet.
In mid-air, the fatty raised his hand and a ray of light pierced towards Lang Jing"s back.
Lan Jing"s perception was astonishing. He could feel the threat from behind him. He was afraid that he would injure Xiao Qi, so he suddenly turned around while running. Then, he took out his blade and chopped down.
Clang!
The long blade in Lan Jing"s hand was broken. His right hand also had a wound on his hand, and his arm was trembling involuntarily.
Under the huge force, Lang Jing and Xiao Qi were knocked back a few meters before they stopped.
Rang-Jing"s left hand gripped the ground, leaving five finger-marks on the ground.
""You won"t be able to leave.""
The fat middle-aged man grinned evilly: ""If I let you guys go, I"m going to die!""
He pointed with his finger, and the stream of light that was blocked by the long blade appeared again. It rapidly flew towards the face of Lan Jing.
The sabre in Lang Jing"s hand had already been cut in half. He clenched his teeth and slashed again, and this time, it accurately hit the light ray.
With a crisp sound, the broken blade in his hand shattered, and at the same time, his wrist broke.
His right hand hung limp and powerless.
""I can"t believe it.""
The middle-aged fatty said with a cold voice, ""A mere ascendant cultivator is actually able to block my flying sword twice in a row.""
I guess you must have had some fortuitous encounter, otherwise how could you have such keen perception and good eyesight.
With your potential, as long as you work a bit harder, your future achievements will be limitless.
""But unfortunately, all of you will die today.""
He took a step forward, and the expert"s aura abruptly rose, ""You saw something you shouldn"t have, so you deserve to die.""
Lang Jing took a deep breath. He felt that the injury to Xiao Qi behind him had calmed him down a little.
He knew that he was absolutely not a match for this middle-aged fatty. What should he do to bring Xiao Qitao back safely?
""Don"t let your imagination run wild. You don"t have any chance.""
The middle-aged fatty raised his hand, and the ray of light floated beside him.
Following his gesture, the ray of light shot out once more.
Right now, Lan Jing had no weapon to block the attack. He could only rely on his keen senses and vision to avoid the attack.
He stomped his feet on the ground and flew out. In mid-air, his hands and feet pushed against the wall at the same time. His body shot out like a cannonball.
He tied Little Seven to his back and ran like a wolf on all fours.
""You"re courting death.""
The fat middle-aged man flew up lightly and a stream of light shot out from behind Lang Jing like a bolt of lightning.
Rangjing dodged to the side as he sprinted. The ray of light swept across his thigh, leaving behind a deep wound.
Xiao Qi, who was behind him, grunted in pain and asked, ""Big brother Lan, what"s wrong with you?""
""Is he hurt?""
Long Jing forced a smile, ""Rang-gege is fine, don"t worry, Rang-gege will take you home.""
Gritting his teeth, he continued to run forward, blood dripping from his thigh.
The middle-aged man was clearly enraged, ""Strength is trash. I didn"t expect you to run so fast.""
However, even if you were able to run, you would not be able to escape. The faster you ran, the more blood there would be. In the end, even without me killing you, you would not be able to survive. ""
Lan Jing sprinted on all fours, his palms sc.r.a.ping the ground. Blood began to seep out of his wounds.
The wound in his thigh was gaping open, the flesh split in two, and blood gushed out like a spring.
However, he knew that he couldn"t stop. Once he did, it would be dangerous for Little Seven.
""Rang-gege, just leave me alone. I know you"re injured, you"ll die like this.""
Little Seven"s voice rang in Lang Jing"s ears, weak but warm.
Lang Jing turned around. ""Xiao Qidao, don"t worry. Brother Lang Jing is a man who can support the heavens and the earth, so how could he be injured?""
Rang-gege is playing with you. In a little while, you will beat the bad guys away. ""
""How reckless!""
The middle-aged fatty roared, pointed with his finger, and shot out another beam of light.
Lang Jing was worried that the flying sword would injure Xiao Qi, so he had no choice but to turn around and run backwards.
With a pu sound, the ray of light slit his lower abdomen. If he hadn"t dodged quickly, the flying sword would have directly pierced through his body.
However, the wound was too deep and too big, and even the intestines were about to leak out.
As he ran, Rang-Jing tore open his clothes to keep his internal organs from squeezing out, and his strength gradually disappeared as he did so.
He had lost too much blood, and his steps began to falter.
""Brother Lang, please put me down …""
Xiao Qidao tried a few times, but the other party already noticed that he could cultivate and wanted to sell him for a better price. He was afraid that he would run away, so the amount of medicine increased by several times, so he didn"t have the slightest bit of strength.
Lan Jing raised his hand to rub Xiao Qi"s head. ""Don"t worry, brother Lan Jing is amazing. He will definitely return your seat belt to your brother.""
""If Xiao Qidao remembers to pay respect to big brother, then give it to me …""
Before he could finish his words, the flying sword came again and cut off Lang Jing"s arm.
The severed arm rotated in mid-air and flew away, landing far away.
Lan Jing"s body involuntarily fell down. When he fell down, he forcefully turned his body so that Xiao Qi wouldn"t crash into the ground.
He laid on the ground, using his remaining hand and leg to crawl forward. ""Xiao Qidao, don"t be afraid. Rang-gege will definitely let you go home, let you go home …""
The middle-aged fatty caught up from behind. With a wave of his flying sword, he cut open the cloth strips tied around Xiao Qitao"s body.
He grabbed Xiao Qi up and then stepped on the back of Lang Jing"s head. ""Weak person like you, such a lowly person, you actually don"t have the slightest bit of consciousness … If you had made a compromise earlier, you might have died more comfortably.""
He trampled his head down, his face contorted against the bluestone floor.
Lang Jing, who had lost too much blood, no longer had the strength to resist. He only said intermittently, ""Xiao Qidao, don"t be afraid. Brother Lang Jing may not be able to bring you home. You have to calm down and protect yourself …""
The middle-aged man was enraged. ""Shut up!""
He lifted up Xiao Qiandao up and asked, ""Did you see that?""
This was the world of cultivators. He didn"t want you to see the cruel side, but this world was always cruel.
He"s going to die soon, and I"m going to take the medicine that will make you lose your memory and sell it for a good price.
""This is a fact that no one can change. The weak do not deserve to live.""
Ye Zichen"s hand grabbed onto Little Seven"s neck, making it difficult for him to breathe.
The middle-aged fatty coldly replied, ""Don"t worry, although a child like you is slightly older, you can cultivate, so the price will not be low.""
You will live, but he will die. ""
He raised his foot and stomped hard on the back of Lang Jing"s head.
