Chapter 1140 - 944: Interception

A few sentences confirmed that these people were indeed capturing those involved in the Ten Thousand Laws Cave Heaven, and it was also confirmed that the person captured was Young Master Nan.

Shi Chun immediately lost interest in tangling with them.

These people looked like fools being used by others. He had been in charge of the Heavenly Domain Dingnan Prefecture for so long that upon hearing that there was 'someone reporting', he knew that this matter couldn't be clarified in a short time, so he couldn't be bothered to inquire about who reported or who instructed them.

The mastermind behind the scenes used these people for capturing, and the next step was obvious.

Immediately, he scolded, "Everyone will wait here. Without an edict from the Heavenly Court, no one is allowed to leave this place or contact anyone without permission. Supervise each other and those who violate the order will be severely punished!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he immediately waved Wu Jinliang and others over and hurriedly chased in the direction of the moving light point.

The leading officer shouted loudly, "Please reveal your identity, otherwise, how can we follow orders?"

Even if he heard it, Shi Chun couldn't be bothered to look back. The remaining hundred or so people from the Heavenly Court were left floating in the air, not knowing whether to stay or leave.

Someone muttered, "Could that token be real?"

Another person said, "It doesn't look fake."

Someone else asked the lead officer, "Boss, what's this capture really about?"

The subordinates might not know, but they could see that there was some hidden intrigue in this operation, and they were somewhat afraid of getting into trouble.

In the Nanshan Royal City, inside the Right Minister Mansion, Gong Yuanhao, who was talking to someone, suddenly received a voice message: "Sir, Young Master Nan from Wuyu Trading House has been secretly captured over at the Heavenly Capital. They are asking whether to bring him back here."

Pausing briefly, he added, "There was some trouble during the capture; Young Master Nan seemed to sense something and tried to escape and hide. It took some effort to finally capture him."

Upon hearing this, Gong Yuanhao, who was talking and laughing calmly, suddenly turned and stared at the figure at the corner of the corridor outside the building. It was his trusted manager, Xiang Jingrong, to whom he replied via voice message, "Even such a small matter could let him sense it and escape. Are you sure he didn't find someone for help? What if Jiahuan asks his father for him? Could you guarantee that keeping him in the Heavenly Capital won't lead to a rescue? This small matter has been handled so sluggishly!"

The person talking with him saw this, knowing he was communicating privately with someone, so they paused without saying more and took a sip of tea.

Xiang Jingrong quickly replied, "I'll arrange for the handover, let them transfer the person over to Nanshan as soon as possible."

The reason for the additional report was actually this intention...

Shi Chun's group, in hot pursuit, had switched to Yu Xuanbing and Huang Yingying carrying someone each for faster flying using their Heavenly Immortal cultivation.

Wu Jinliang, who had been staring at the compass to check the light point, suddenly said in a deep voice, "Chun Tian, something's not right. It seems like the more we chase, the further it gets. Young Master Nan doesn't have such high cultivation; he couldn't fly this fast. He must have fallen into someone else's hands."

Shi Chun immediately took the compass to check it himself. After confirming carefully, he said to Yu Xuanbing, who was carrying him flying, "It indeed gets further. What's your take?"

Yu Xuanbing glanced at Huang Yingying before replying, "If it's faster than us carrying someone, that means among those who acted, there is at least one expert at the Upper Heaven Immortal Realm."

Shi Chun compared the direction of the light point on the compass, then said, "The direction is to the Heavenly Capital."

Wu Jinliang said, "Should we contact the Heavenly Court's people for help intercepting?"

Shi Chun said in a deep voice, "Intercept my ass, look at how they used the Heavenly Court's people all the way like their own people. Any major movement from the Heavenly Court and they will likely know immediately. We'll handle this ourselves this time, no matter if there is one expert at the Heavenly Immortal Upper Realm or a hundred, I want them left behind!"

The fierceness in his tone was evident.

Not just Huang Yingying and Yu Xuanbing, even Wu Jinliang couldn't help but look at him sideways.

Shi Chun had already pointed to the ground, "Down, Old Huang open the way!"

Huang Yingying understood as soon as these words were spoken, and now even Yu Xuanbing could understand.

Thus, the group dived towards the ground like shooting stars, using Earth Escape Technique to break through the ground, and the four arrived at a deep, dark underground area, where underground water surged.

Not bothering to choose a geomantically favorable location, they decided on this spot.

Amidst corpses and the burning Death Refusing Incense, Wu Jinliang once again used his Fire Attribute Skill to light up and burn the Death Refusing Incense.

Soon, the Two Realms Channel opened again, and the group jumped from the passage into a different scene, able to see the majestic Heavenly Palace in the distant sky.

This meant they had directly returned to the Heavenly Capital.

Huang Yingying and Yu Xuanbing exchanged glances, and even Wu Jinliang was somewhat surprised.

However, Wu Jinliang was the one who could understand the reason the most; obviously, Shi Chun had not only hidden one spare Soul Capturing Bag on this side of the Heavenly Capital.

Although their cultivation couldn't catch up with those who took Young Master Nan, this jump meant they had directly leapt ahead of those black hands.

Shi Chun once again picked up the compass to check the direction of the light point and pointed to an interception position. The group swiftly passed through the mountains and forests, hurrying through the city...

The Heavenly Court's troops who had captured Young Master Nan stayed on the ground to rest after being ordered to stop.

Even though Shi Chun simply said so, no one dared to initiate contact with the outside world now, because they couldn't figure out Shi Chun's identity level or gauge the significant issue they had become involved in. Though they weren't honestly supervising each other, they maintained a self-awareness.

If they contact the outside and get seen, and even if it's a colleague, if real trouble arises, they'd surely stab you in the back sooner or later.
