Dandy Pill God-Chapter 117 Leaving Lan City
Chapter 117: Chapter 117 Leaving Lan City
Hearing Zhu Fei’s retort, Wen Lei couldn’t help but smile wryly and shake his head.
"Indeed, I have never heard of it, perhaps only those within could have seen the Pill you mentioned?"
Those within? Zhu Fei’s eyes flashed almost imperceptibly.
In that moment, he instinctively sensed something from Wen Lei’s recent words.
However, he didn’t inquire further, but firmly committed the situation to memory, intending to investigate further in the future.
...
In the following time, the two did not continue to linger, but instead, as they walked and talked, they each learned many things from one another that they had never known before.
Approximately half an hour later, Zhu Fei and Wen Lei bid each other a temporary farewell and returned to Haihua District.
Upon arriving at the home where Pan Tingting lived, Zhu Fei did not tell the two women about his outing; instead, he advised them to be extra cautious in the days ahead and not to go out alone.
...
Time flew rapidly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
During this half-month, Zhu Fei did not go to school.
Every day apart from his regular cultivation, he searched online for information about the Light Flower and Red Blood Ginseng.
Meanwhile, he also made time to accompany Tang Mengyun and Pan Tingting on shopping trips, as they strongly requested.
Pan Tingting, after some time to process, had gradually recovered from the news of her grandmother’s death.
This alleviated the slight worry that Zhu Fei and Tang Mengyun had been feeling over her.
One weekend day, Zhu Fei was prepared for his departure and, under the reluctant gazes of the two women, he left Lan City.
As soon as he returned that day, Zhu Fei had already informed the two women about his upcoming departure.
Although at first, the women didn’t understand or agree with Zhu Fei’s decision,
given Zhu Fei’s firm stance, the women had no choice but to accept reality.
After all, they knew that it was fine to show their temper to Zhu Fei sometimes, but on such important matters, they understood the boundaries and knew when they could and couldn’t afford to be petulant.
And the reason why Zhu Fei had only left Lan City today was that the expert from Chunqiu Pavilion, mentioned by Wen Lei, had only arrived last night.
...
Speeding on the highway outside Lan City, Zhu Fei’s phone suddenly vibrated gently.
He took out his phone to see that the message was from Qiu Ruoxue, whom he hadn’t seen in a long time.
It was as if they shared some kind of tacit understanding, as they both happened to leave Lan City on the same day.
"Zhu Fei, I’ve completed my special training procedures today and I’m about to leave Lan City. I know that you’re likely leaving today as well. I wish you a smooth journey and take care! Qiu Ruoxue."
Looking at the message, a warm current suddenly rose in Zhu Fei’s heart.
He smiled lightly and replied with a message of his own.
"Hmm, you too, take care. We’ll meet again another day."
After sending the message, Zhu Fei turned off his phone and accelerated once more, disappearing from the spot in the blink of an eye.
It wasn’t until his form neared a forest that his speed gradually slowed down.
Hmm, there seemed to be people hiding ahead, one, two, three... a total of five, and one of them had a cultivation in the Initial Stage of Power Realm.
Upon realizing this situation, Zhu Fei almost didn’t need to think twice to know.
The identity of the person hidden in the darkness ahead was undoubtedly a member of the Blood Evil Sect.
Furthermore, according to the current analysis of personnel, the members of the Blood Evil Sect lurking around the outskirts of Lan City were probably not limited to this place alone; there should be others in different locations.
Zhu Fei’s lips curled into a sneer of disdain.
In an instant, his figure that had been standing in place suddenly rippled with an illusory ’wave’.
Then, from Zhu Fei’s mouth, came the uttered word "Hide," and with that, his entire being simply vanished into thin air.
"Swish swish swish—"
The sound of the gentle breeze stirring through the grass and trees arose.
Five hidden members of the Blood Evil Sect suddenly seemed to sense something and looked in unison towards a certain direction.
However, all they saw were the swaying branches and leaves moved by the breeze, nothing out of the ordinary.
One of the Blood Evil Sect members, at the late-stage of Dark Energy, seemed unconvinced and stepped forward to that particular spot for a thorough check.
Yet the result was somewhat disappointing, revealing nothing unusual.
"Enough, Zhao Zhen, no need to look anymore. There was nothing strange just now. It was us being overly sensitive," said another member with the cultivation at the perfection of Dark Energy, shaking his head.
"Indeed, there is nothing unusual. However, you all mustn’t be careless. The Sect Hierarch has issued a death order to us; we must capture that Zhu Fei at all costs, or at the very least kill him."
Elder Wu, a middle-aged man in charge of this area and at the Initial Stage of Power Realm, suddenly spoke with a chilling face and murderous eyes:
"He killed our Saint Heir, and the Sect Hierarch is extremely furious. If we fail to complete the mission, the ones who will suffer upon our return will likely be us. Therefore, you must now be fully alert and not slack off in any way."
"Yes, we will follow Elder Wu’s orders meticulously. But Elder Wu, why don’t we just sneak into Lan City and capture the Holy Daughter, that traitor, as well as the girl associated with Zhu Fei?"
"If we use those two as hostages, I believe that no matter how ’cunning’ Zhu Fei is, he will be unable to escape our grasp, right?" queried the previously spoken man of Dark Energy perfection, somewhat puzzled.
"Hmph! What do you know? Do you think we haven’t considered this tactic?"
Elder Wu couldn’t help but snort coldly, then continued, "Presumably, Lan City is now one of Chunqiu Pavilion’s foundations in the secular world, something you all should be aware of, yes?"
"But do you know how many experts arrived at Lan City from Chunqiu Pavilion just before we came here yesterday? A total of twenty people."
Without waiting for his subordinates to ask, Elder Wu stretched out two fingers, speaking with a particularly solemn tone:
"Including that Wen Lei, there are currently six Chunqiu Pavilion experts with Power Realm cultivation or higher in Lan City, among whom there is also one at the Late-stage Power Realm."
"She is currently responsible for secretly protecting those two ’despicable’ women. How do you suggest we capture those two ’despicable’ women?"
"If it weren’t for the inside information we received, saying that Zhu Fei is about to leave Lan City, we would hardly have the chance to act against him in such a short time."
"Hiss!"
Upon hearing Elder Wu’s words, the others present couldn’t help but take in a sharp breath.
They truly hadn’t expected Chunqiu Pavilion to deploy so many experts this time with such a big gesture.
Zhao Zhen, the named member of the Blood Evil Sect, subconsciously swallowed his saliva, asking with some trepidation:
"Elder Wu, is it possible that Chunqiu Pavilion’s real target this time is actually us? Otherwise, how could the abilities of that Zhu Fei prompt Chunqiu Pavilion to dispatch so many skilled fighters all at once?"
