Chapter 414 412: Toying with Zi Shan

Soon, Zi Shan gathered all the masters he could command.

There were twelve Earth Element Realm experts in total, three of whom were at the Middle Tier Earth Element Realm!

With such a lineup, Luo Tian was doomed. There was no escape, not even if he grew wings!

"We're going in to kill him. If anything happens, I'll take full responsibility!"

Zi Shan's expression was grim.

He was the Clan Leader's son, after all. He believed that killing a mere outsider wouldn't cause too much trouble.

SWOOSH! SWOOSH!

The group headed straight for Luo Tian's residence.

BANG!

A Middle Tier Earth Element Realm expert at the front kicked the main door open and charged inside.

The others followed close behind.

After rushing in, they all froze on the spot.

Luo Tian was gone!

Zi Shan's expression changed. He immediately went to Yi Jingwen's room next door, only to find it empty as well.

'Did they sense something and escape? No, that's impossible!'

Zi Shan's face was dark with disbelief.

"Search for them! And keep it quiet!"

Zi Shan ordered.

The experts immediately split up to search for any trace of Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen!

An incense stick's time later!

An Earth Tier Earth Element Realm Martial Artist sent a message to Zi Shan: "Second Young Master, I've found Luo Tian. He has left the Purple Scale Race's territory and is on Dongsheng Street in Hailan City! Also, I ran into Yan Lihui nearby!"

"Damn it! That brat really did figure it out. He's trying to escape!"

Zi Shan hurried over at once.

"We must stop that brat! Tell Yan Lihui that Luo Tian stole a treasure from the Purple Scale Race, and that he is to kill Luo Tian!"

"After it's done, I'll reward him with forty thousand Spiritual Essence Coins!"

Zi Shan sent the message.

Yan Lihui had been working hard to earn money for his sister's medical fees. For forty thousand Spiritual Essence Coins just to kill someone nearby, there was no way Yan Lihui would refuse!

...

「Hailan City, Dongsheng Street.」

"Luo Tian, what are you doing?"

Yi Jingwen asked, confused.

Just a short while ago, Luo Tian had suddenly pulled her along and left the Purple Scale Race's territory.

Not only that, but he had also brought someone else with them.

"We're leaving the Purple Scale Race!" Luo Tian said.

Yi Jingwen's delicate brows furrowed. She knew they were going to leave the Purple Scale Race, but why so suddenly?

They hadn't prepared anything. They had no map, no Void Ship.

Yi Jingwen looked down at the pale, frail young woman beside her—it was Yan Lihui's sister, Yan Xiaoxia.

Just then, a man in a black robe appeared from the crowd opposite them. It was Yan Lihui. "Luo Tian, why did you ask me to come here?"

The next moment, he saw his sister, and his face instantly darkened, his expression turning hostile!

His sister, Yan Xiaoxia, was gravely ill and needed to rest. Even when she got out of bed, she could only take a few casual steps at most. She couldn't exert herself for long, or her condition would worsen.

But Luo Tian had actually dragged his sister all the way here!

"Luo Tian, I really misjudged you! Let my sister go, now!"

Yan Lihui snapped coldly.

In his eyes, Luo Tian must be using his sister to threaten him!

"Brother Yan, calm down. We didn't kidnap your sister!"

Luo Tian said with a smile.

It was difficult for Yan Lihui to remain calm.

With his homeland conquered by enemies, his sister was the only family he had left!

"What do you want me to do to let my sister go?!"

Yan Lihui demanded.

"Come with me!"

"Huh?"

Yan Lihui was stunned.

The corner of Yi Jingwen's eye twitched slightly as her thoughts unintentionally strayed into suggestive territory.

"Ahem, what I mean is, leave the Purple Scale Race and come with me to the Human Race's territory."

Luo Tian explained in more detail.

Yan Lihui was just over thirty, and his Cultivation had reached the Middle Tier Earth Element Realm. His talent and potential were excellent. Staying with the Purple Scale Race would only limit his own development.

Besides, the Purple Scale Race had used trickery to keep Yan Lihui there. In a way, Luo Tian was helping him.

Of course, Yan Lihui was unwilling to agree. His sister still needed to recuperate and receive treatment here.

"Brother, let's go with them. The Purple Scale Race is so stifling,"

Yan Xiaoxia said with a smile.

Yan Lihui froze. It had been a long time since he'd heard Yan Xiaoxia speak with such energy.

He took a closer look and realized Yan Xiaoxia's condition had improved significantly. Before, she had looked like someone terminally ill. Now, she looked much better, merely weak, as if she'd just been sick.

"Brother Yan, I told you I could cure your sister's illness."

Luo Tian said with a smile.

Yan Lihui's body trembled slightly. He had thought Luo Tian was spouting nonsense before, but he never imagined it was actually true!

"I have one more thing to tell you. Physician Pang of the Purple Scale Race never figured out the real cause of your sister's illness. He was just treating her randomly, all so you would stay with the Purple Scale Race and willingly work for them!"

"The longer your sister's illness is dragged out, the harder it will be to cure, until it eventually becomes incurable!"

Luo Tian continued.

Yan Lihui's mind reeled!

He had long suspected that something was wrong with his sister's condition.

But he didn't know anything about medicine, so he never asked too many questions.

Now, after Luo Tian had demonstrated some medical skill, his words carried immense credibility!

SWOOSH!

Suddenly, a member of the Purple Scale Race appeared beside Yan Lihui and shouted, "Yan Lihui, the Second Young Master orders you to eliminate Luo Tian! He'll reward you with forty thousand Spiritual Essence Coins when it's done!"

Killing someone standing right in front of him for forty thousand Spiritual Essence Coins was undoubtedly a good deal.

But Yan Lihui fell into conflicted silence and didn't make a move.

"Yan Lihui, what are you standing there for? The Second Young Master told you to kill him!"

The Purple Scale Race member grew anxious.

He was afraid Luo Tian would kill him. After all, he was only at the Earth Element Realm Second Layer and was definitely no match for Luo Tian.

"Brother Yan..."

Luo Tian had just started to speak.

BAM!

Yan Lihui's head snapped up, his eyes filled with resolve. He struck the Purple Scale Race man beside him with a palm.

The man's body shot like a cannonball into a nearby tavern, and he died instantly on impact!

As a Middle Tier Earth Element Realm expert, Yan Lihui was very powerful. Moreover, the Purple Scale Race man was completely defenseless, so he was killed in a single blow!

"Let's go!"

After killing the man, Yan Lihui moved closer to Luo Tian.

"The Purple Scale Race has immense power in Hailan City. What's your plan?"

Yan Lihui asked grimly.

Even after they left Hailan City, they couldn't let their guard down.

"Follow me!"

A confident smile played on Luo Tian's lips, as if he had everything planned out from the very beginning.

SWOOSH!

The group departed quickly.

Not long after, Zi Shan's group arrived and saw the corpse of the Purple Scale Race member on the side.

"Damn it, Yan Lihui! How dare you betray the Purple Scale Race! You must have a death wish!"

Zi Shan was furious.

"You, go back and tell my father that Luo Tian conspired with Yan Lihui to kill one of our people and is trying to escape!"

Zi Shan ordered one of his subordinates.

With this, he now had a legitimate reason to act.

"The rest of you, with me!"

Zi Shan roared, leading more than ten Earth Level Martial Artists in hot pursuit!

And when the news reached the Clan Leader's ears, the Purple Scale Race dispatched a High Tier Earth Element Realm expert!

...

The Craftsman Workshop, one of the Purple Scale Race's largest enterprises, primarily produced Flying Artifacts similar to Void Ships.

Suddenly, Yan Lihui led Luo Tian, Yi Jingwen, and the others here.

"Honored Guest Yan, what brings you here?"

An elderly Steward came forward.

He was very familiar with Yan Lihui, who often undertook various missions to earn money for his sister's treatment.

"The Second Young Master has urgent business and needs to go on a trip, but his private Void Ship has malfunctioned. He has specially dispatched me to retrieve a new Void Ship from you!"

Yan Lihui said with a cold expression.

The Steward's expression soured when he heard this.

'The Clan Leader's two sons are such profligates!'

However, the Craftsman Workshop was, after all, a Purple Scale Race enterprise, and the future position of Clan Leader might fall to Zi Shan. He was unwilling to offend him.

"Come with me!"

The Steward glanced at Luo Tian and Yi Jingwen a few times before leading the way.

"Do you have proof of authorization?"

the Steward suddenly asked.

Yan Lihui stiffened, not knowing how to answer.

"The Second Young Master was in a great hurry, so he didn't provide one," Luo Tian said with a faint smile.

The Steward nodded slightly. He had only asked as a matter of course.

The group arrived at a massive, towering, open-air structure.

Inside the building were a total of five Void Ships.

"Currently, there are only five completed Void Ships!" the Steward said.

"We'll take that one!"

Yan Lihui picked the largest one. It was fifty to sixty meters long, dark blue all over, covered in complex Array Patterns, and equipped with attack systems. Its performance was top-notch.

"This... The Second Young Master is probably just going on a trip. He shouldn't need such a large Void Ship."

The Steward's face fell.

"The Second Young Master said he wants the biggest one!"

Yan Lihui flew up and into the Void Ship, and Luo Tian's group immediately followed him inside.

VROOOM!

The Void Ship started up instantly and shot into the sky!

'Demanding the biggest one... that really does sound like the Second Young Master,' the Steward thought with a headache coming on.

An hour later.

Zi Shan and his subordinates rushed to the Craftsman Workshop!

'Damn it, what are they doing at the Craftsman Workshop?'

Zi Shan had assumed Luo Tian and Yan Lihui would have fled the city at the first opportunity. Only later did he receive news that they had been seen heading to the Craftsman Workshop.

"Hm? Second Young Master, what brings you here?"

The elderly Steward was perplexed.

'Wasn't the Second Young Master in a hurry? He sent Honored Guest Yan to get a Void Ship, so how does he have time to come here himself?'

'Don't tell me he wants to take another Void Ship?'

"Where are Yan Lihui and Luo Tian? Where are they?"

Zi Shan raged.

After the Steward explained everything, Zi Shan exploded in fury, "You idiot! You fell for such a clumsy lie and just gave him the Void Ship? Do you really think I'm that unreliable?!"

The Steward nodded internally but shook his head frantically on the outside.

"Get me a Void Ship!"

Zi Shan roared, boarded a ship with his men, and immediately gave chase.

However, the largest Void Ship in the Craftsman Workshop had already fallen into the hands of Luo Tian's group.

The speed of Zi Shan's Void Ship certainly couldn't compare.

In less than half a day, Luo Tian and the others arrived at the realm-passage.

Yan Lihui had often left the Earth and Water Realm for missions, so he handled the procedures with practiced ease.

BOOM!

The giant Dark Blue Void Ship exited the passage and entered the Outer Void!

"Whew! We made it out!"

Yi Jingwen breathed a sigh of relief.

The whole process had been tense but ultimately without mishap.

Thinking back, she realized everything had gone so smoothly because of Luo Tian's meticulous planning!

Although they hadn't obtained the Outer World Map from the Purple Scale Race, they had acquired this high-performance Void Ship, which was far more valuable than any map.

On top of that, they now had Yan Lihui, a Middle Tier Earth Element Realm expert.

Ever since coming to the Outer World, Yi Jingwen had felt insecure. Their Cultivation levels meant nothing out here, offering no real protection.

Yan Lihui's addition now significantly strengthened their group!

Their Void Ship had just left the Earth and Water Realm.

They saw a massive, deep-cyan Void Ship entering the Earth and Water Realm. The flag flying from it was emblazoned with the emblem of the Cyan Armor Race!
