Chapter 1143 - 945: Escaping Danger

Yu Xuanbing, having transformed into his true form, plunged down amidst the burst of bloody rain, and then shot towards the person drifting to the ground after being struck by an arrow.

The person clutching his chest and coughing up blood was struggling to gather mana. Seeing someone fighting down from above, his eyes widened in desperation, attempting to muster all his strength for a final attack. Yet, the figure in his view suddenly vanished mid-air, disappearing without a trace.

He alertly looked around with difficulty. Suddenly, he felt a coldness at his neck, and his vision spun, revealing a man materializing from the remaining mist, who brushed past a headless, blood-spraying body with a blade in hand.

A head and body fell in a straight line towards the ground.

Yu Xuanbing revealed himself to finish the target, flashing rapidly as he rushed towards the ground. At the moment the person wrapped in the black cloth bag was about to hit the ground, he was suddenly pulled back through the air by Yu Xuanbing's hand.

Three streaks of purple light swiftly returned to the arrow quiver on Huang Yingying's back. Yu Xuanbing, clutching the black cloth bag, flashed back, his masked scarf stained red with his own blood.

Seeing that Yu Xuanbing could still fly and act, Shi Chun temporarily didn't concern himself with his injuries. With one palm, he blasted open the black cloth bag, revealing a naked, fair-skinned person. He brushed aside the long hair covering the face, confirming it was none other than Young Master Nan.

Young Master Nan's eyes darted around curiously. While inside the black cloth bag, he was aware there was a fight, but didn't know the specifics.

The few people in front of him were also unfamiliar, having disguised themselves; however, his gaze fixated on Wu Jinliang's distinct height, instantly recognizing who had come. Though unable to move, he hummed a few times strongly.

Wu Jinliang leaned in with a chuckle, "Brother Nan, I couldn't tell, your skin is quite fair."

As he spoke, he unsealed Young Master Nan's mute point and, while probing, released the restraints from his body, inevitably touching his skin.

Young Master Nan retorted gloomily, "Your whole family's white."

Wu Jinliang: "Well, I really don't know. Maybe you can ask them for me when you get a chance."

Finally figuring out the technique, Wu Jinliang applied force and promptly released the restraints on the other.

As soon as Young Master Nan could move, the first thing he did was clamp his legs and cover himself, feeling it wasn't enough. He then plucked a large leaf from the air to cover himself, exclaiming, "Help me find my Qiankun Bag, it's thrown nearby."

Knowing this bag contained many valuable items, Shi Chun picked up the compass, enlarged the light dot, located where the item fell, and before flashing to search, he instructed, "Destroy the bodies and remove all traces. Take anything you can. No, take the bodies if possible as well."

Destroying the bodies was to avoid revealing the wounds left by the 'Void Escape Divine Arrow.' As for the items taken, they weren't worried about being tracked because the enemy's covert actions wouldn't be made public, knowing they couldn't openly clarify once the dead's belongings were in their hands.

Upon hearing that they could take the items, Wu Jinliang was immediately energized and swiftly flashed to the fall site of the battle.

Huang Yingying was also instantly spirited, holding her bow in one hand, and dashed to another fall site to search.

Yu Xuanbing remained still, pulled out a medicinal pellet for his injuries, and swallowed it beneath his mask.

With a large leaf covering his lower body, Young Master Nan, hearing Shi Chun's voice, confirmed that it was indeed Shi Chun who had come. He relaxed his mind and felt his heart surge, amazed at how quickly his rescuer, indeed Shi Chun, had found him.

The crucial point was that he actually got rescued smoothly, with the swiftest of actions, leaving him unscathed, difficult to fathom how it was managed.

Shi Chun quickly returned, tossing back Young Master Nan's Qiankun Bag.

"Thank you, thank you." Young Master Nan sincerely expressed his gratitude as he deftly caught it, turned his back, and quickly dressed himself, his pale buttocks wiggling as he did.

Shi Chun then retrieved and sent out a message using the Mother-child Talisman.

Wu Jinliang and Huang Yingying returned quickly as well, but a sudden change occurred.

With his clothes on, Young Master Nan was about to express gratitude when Huang Yingying suddenly launched a surprise attack, grasping the back of Young Master Nan's neck, causing his eyes to roll back and him to collapse.

Huang Yingying caught him in one swift motion.

Both Wu Jinliang and Yu Xuanbing were a bit surprised, but they quickly realized that Shi Chun wasn't reacting at all, immediately understanding that this was Shi Chun's intention.

Indeed, it was Shi Chun's intention. The message he sent using the Mother-child Talisman was directed to Huang Yingying, instructing him to carry this action out.

Shi Chun wielded the metal umbrella frame and combined it with the golden command arrow, directly reclaiming the 'Beidou Refusal Array,' then called out, "Let's go, this place is not safe for long."

The group swiftly left with the unconscious Young Master Nan. From the start of forming the array to the end, the entire process happened very swiftly...

At the Right Minister Mansion in the Nanshan Royal Capital, after Gong Yuanhao bade farewell to his guest, Xiang Jingrong approached him nervously and relayed, "Master, we've received a report that the Life Tokens of Qi Shan and the other two have cracked."

Gong Yuanhao turned his head to stare at him, asking telepathically, "What about the person they captured?"

Xiang Jingrong reported, "Something happened before they could hand over Young Master Nan. Upon discovering their Life Tokens cracked, I immediately had people try to search for them. They've yet to be found, and attempts to contact the three have all failed. It's unclear what situation Young Master Nan is in currently. If his rescuer acted, it's possible he was rescued."

Gong Yuanhao's cheek muscles twitched, and he questioned harshly, "A Heavenly Immortal Upper grade and two Heavenly Immortal Small Success experts just disappeared without a trace like this? I had you arrange a secret capture, yet it backfired so easily. You can't handle such a minor task? How am I supposed to explain this to my father?"

Xiang Jingrong lowered his head and said, "I'll strive to uncover the truth quickly. With Qi Shan's strength, those of average skill wouldn't pose a threat. Whoever acted is certainly no ordinary being."
