Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

At once, more than twenty ancient martial art practitioners from Jianyou Sect had appeared. Moreover, there were seven to eight ancient martial art practitioners with the Embryonic Breathing realm. The one in the lead with a blinded eye clearly had the Embryonic Breathing realm.

He stood right in front of Zou Guangbo and Chen Zi. Their expressions had changed. At the moment, the two of them had been injured. A single ancient martial art practitioner with the Embryonic Breathing realm would already be difficult to handle, much less a whole gang of so many ancient martial art practitioners surrounding them.

“Young Mistress Chen, I have finally managed to block you. I believe you should not resist, there is no use in wasting your effort.”

The man with a single blinded eye smiled coldly. In order to block off Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo, he had used a substantial amount of effort, and he had even let them off to run for a distance. The whole purpose was to ensure their success in capturing them. Once he captured Chen Zi, the Mayor would definitely reward him handsomely. Just thinking about it made him smile widely.

“Li Shuncai, you dirty vile man.” Zou Guangbo had so much hatred within him that he was gritting his teeth. He had already been injured at the hands of Li Shuncai and had thought that Li Shuncai had sustained even more serious injuries than him. However, from what could be observed, he must have faked his injuries and pretended to be weak, all the while waiting for people’s aid.

“What dirty vile man, don’t you know that is called a battle strategy? You are the simple one so you shouldn’t be blaming others.” Li Shuncai spoke with a cold smile. He had indeed been injured but it was not as serious as Zou Guangbo had imagined. Hence, he had been able to tail Chen Zi and Zou Guangbo the entire way without them noticing.

“Go, capture those two people.” Li Shuncai looked coldly at Zou Guangbo. He had not taken action himself immediately, because he knew that Zou Guangbo was also an ancient martial art practitioner with the peak of the Embryonic Breathing realm. Although he was hurt, if unafraid of death he could attempt to destroy him indiscriminately. He would definitely not be able to withstand Zou Guangbo’s attacks.

That was also why, although he was not seriously injured, he had still released Zou Guangbo and Chen Zi, in order to wait for the helpers so that he would definitely be able to capture Chen Zi.

The surrounding ancient martial art practitioners from Jianyou Sect all shared glances before looking at the haggard Zou Guangbo. They could only grit their teeth and harden their heads. It was obvious that Li Shuncai treated them as cannon fodder, and it was a fact that was clear to everyone. Zou Guangbo was not one to be messed with. If he was forced into a corner, they would have a very high price to pay. However, Li Shuncai’s Cultivation was higher than theirs and naturally, his status was higher as well. If they did not follow his orders, they would also have a high price to pay. If they failed to follow orders, in the future they would inevitably be bearing the brunt of Li Shuncai’s anger as he would deliberately make things difficult for them.

Hence, they would rather just go all out. If they could also successfully tackle Chen Zi, it would be a huge achievement.

Seven to eight ancient martial art practitioners with the Embryonic Breathing realm surged towards them and surrounded Zou Guangbo. Immediately, they all locked hands. Facing such a high number of opponents immediately spread the abilities of Zou Guangbo. The battle started off being very one-sided.

As for Li Shuncai, he had his eyes fixed on Chen Zi from beginning to end, ensuring that she could not escape. Chen Zi was the real aim of this mission. In comparison, Zou Guangbo was simply expendable.

Not only was he eyeing Chen Zi, but he was also eyeing the Phantom Wolf Cat on her shoulder. That was a Sixth level monstrous beast which had even attracted the interest of the young sect leader of Jianyou Sect. Naturally, Li Shuncai was also attracted to it.

“Young Mistress Chen, I don’t want to hurt you. You had better know your place and follow me without struggling. Don’t worry, the Mayor has ordered that nobody is to hurt you.” Li Shuncai spoke calmly. He was worried that Chen Zi would do something that would end her own life. Hence, he did not attack her at all. She had a Phantom Wolf Cat with her so if she was bent on committing suicide, he would not be able to stop her no matter what.

“Thinking of capturing me as leverage to threaten Intentionless Sect? You must be dreaming.” Chen Zi laughed coldly. She would rather die than fall in the hands of Jianyou Sect. She knew that her only value was as a threat to her grandfather. That was also the whole reason why Jianyou Sect wanted to capture her no matter what.

The Intentionless Sect had been managing Intentionless City for hundreds of years. Even though they lost their ancient martial art practitioner with the intermediate stage of the Golden Elixir realm as the head, it was still not easy for the Sacred Flame Sect to think of eliminating the Intentionless Sect. They had been trying for weeks and the Sacred Flame Sect had yet to take down the Intentionless Sect.

“You would rather I treated you badly than treat you well.” Li Shuncai’s face darkened. He was most afraid that Chen Zi was going to commit suicide. What Chen Zi had just said had made him even more anxious. His pupils darted around as he tried to think of a plan to capture Chen Zi while preventing her from being injured.

However, Chen Zi did not care about Li Shuncai at all. Seeing Zou Guangbo who was outnumbered and in great danger, his body full of injuries, a look of sadness flashed in her eyes. Was she unable to change anything?

She quickly wielded a long sword and pressed it against her own neck.

“Wait! Let’s talk about things calmly.” Li Shuncai had not imagined that Chen Zi would be so decisive. Was she unafraid of death?

“Lady Chen Zi, let’s talk things through slowly, put down the sword. Think about it, if you die just like that, you won’t ever be able to see your family again. Moreover, your family would be devastated to learn of your death.” Li Shuncai was waving his hand around and his expression had gone pale. If he caused Chen Zi to die, the Mayor would definitely skin him alive and rip out his intestines.

“Release Uncle Zou.” Chen Zi gripped the long sword tightly. She looked at Li Shuncai and blinked, completely not allowing him to have any chance of stopping her at all.

“Alright... We will release him, if you don’t commit suicide, we will release him immediately...” Li Shuncai nodded his head continuously. Zou Guangbo was an insignificant person. Whether or not he was released, and whether or not he got killed did not really matter.

“Put down the sword and I will immediately release him.” Li Shuncai inhaled deeply. His eyes were fixed on Chen Zi as he was calculating the possibility of success if he were to take action right after Chen Zi put the sword down.

“Release him!” Chen Zi said coldly. She was uninterested in the conditions set by Li Shuncai. She pressed the long sword even closer to her snow-white neck. A trace of blood appeared immediately. The bright red blood stained the sword and started to flow along the blade.

“You...” Li Shuncai’s expression wavered. Chen Zi was actually using her own life to threaten him. He had never been so humiliated before. He did not dare to do anything that would agitate Chen Zi. If Chen Zi died, he would not have a very good end either.

“Release him,” Li Shuncai said viciously, suppressing his grievances.

Those ancient martial art practitioners from Jianyou Sect that had surrounded Zou Guangbo shared a glance. They had no choice but to retreat from the circle. They were all upset at being shouted at by Li Shuncai just because he was not in a good mood!

“Young Mistress, you...” Zou Guangbo had been saved from the situation and he breathed a sigh of relief.

“Uncle Zou, please take Little Meow and leave immediately.” Chen Zi bit her lip, her eyes constantly fixed on Li Shuncai. The only thing that she could rely on at the moment was her own life.

Little Meow was the name that Chen Zi had decided to give the Phantom Wolf Cat. Although it did not meow gently at all, Chen Zi was still very happy to call it that.

“Young Mistress, I...” Zou Guangbo did not expect such a thing to happen. He would rather fight to his death than escape at such a time.

“Uncle Zou, we have no other choice. No matter what, I will fall into their hands, you should know that as well,” Chen Zi was very calm. Since she was not able to escape, she had no choice but to die.

Zou Guangbo’s lips quivered and his eyes turned red. He gripped his hands tightly into fists and he was unable to say a word.

“Uncle Zou, we don’t have much time to spare,” Chen Zi said hurriedly. If the ancient martial art practitioners from Jianyou Sect surrounded the entire forest, it would be impossible for Zou Guangbo to escape.

“Young Mistress, your subordinate is useless!”

Zou Guangbo gritted his teeth and took the Phantom Wolf Cat from Chen Zi’s shoulder. He then disappeared in a flash. He knew that if he did not leave immediately, it would cause more heartache to the Young Mistress. His own life did not matter, but he knew that the Young Mistress loved the Phantom Wolf Cat very much, and did not wish for it to fall in the hands of Jianyou Sect.

Li Shuncai’s eyes were wide and it was as though there was fire coming out of them. However, he could only watch Zou Guangbo escape. The Phantom Wolf Cat was a rare Sixth level monstrous beast, and his heart was bleeding to see it go away.

Then, something unexpected happened. The Phantom Wolf Cat must have managed to escape from Zou Guangbo, who also returned. Turning into a black light, it appeared back by Chen Zi’s side, continuing to lie on her shoulder. Its large blue eyes were fixed on Li Shuncai as if it was looking at an enemy.

“Little Meow.” Chen Zi looked at the Phantom Wolf Cat on her shoulder. She felt a prickle in her nose. She had not imagined that Little Meow would return to her side under the current circumstances. Initially, she had thought that the Phantom Wolf Cat had been willing to stay by her side only because of Mo Wen’s orders.

Zou Guangbo smiled bitterly and walked back. He helplessly looked at Chen Zi as he rubbed his palms together. The Phantom Wolf Cat had amazing speed and he could not stop it even if he tried.

“Such an emotional scene. Since all of you are unwilling to leave, why not just stay behind together.” A strange figure emerged from the depths of the forest and a croaky, unhuman voice rang out. It sounded like the voice of a beast, but one could actually understand what was said.

A person cloaked entirely in a black robe appeared. His face could not be seen but the hands that were revealed looked as dry as tree bark.

“Elder Luo Shan?” A look of surprise flashed in Li Shuncai’s eyes. His expression was respectful as he made a huge bow to the man in the black robe. He knelt down on one knee and was exceptionally solemn.

At the same time, he felt a great deal of relief. With Elder Luo Shan around, he believed that Chen Zi would not be able to even attempt suicide.

“Who are you?” A cautious look flashed in Chen Zi’s eyes. This mysterious man in black robe had caused her to feel uneasy.

“Young Mistress Chen, as the Young Mistress of Intentionless Sect, do you not recognize me?” The mysterious man appeared in front of Chen Zi. Everything was quiet and nobody had even detected him. It was as though he had teleported.

“An ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm!” Zou Guangbo’s pupils dilated and his expression fell immediately. Only an ancient martial art practitioner with the Golden Elixir realm had such an ability to not allow anyone to feel it when he appeared within five meters of them.

“Luo Shan! Could you be the thirteenth Elder Luo Shan of the Sacred Flame Sect?”

Zou Guangbo had seemingly thought of something as he cried out all of a sudden. Previously, Jianyou Sect’s Xu Zhong had accompanied Sacred Flame Sect’s Elder Luo Shan to visit Panli City. After injuring the original Mayor of Panli City, they had chased him away. He had thought that Luo Shan already left Panli City, and did not expect that he would appear at such a time.
