The moment the voice spoke, Wei Wuyan was instantly stunned.
Unexpected!
What was surprising was not the sudden appearance of this person, but because... with Lang Yilang's cultivation level, he actually didn't notice someone hiding nearby?
Lang Yilang did not move; not a single part of him stirred, but his entire aura suddenly changed! It became as sharp as an arrow leaving its bow, unmatched in its piercing quality!
Moreover, the ruthless and harsh aura that had just dissipated from him returned with a chilling intensity!
He did not turn around, but淡淡 said, “Li? Li Qingyun?”
The voice laughed heartily, “Indeed, as expected of Lang Chief! After parting for two hundred years, you still remember this old man's voice!”
With the laughter, an old man in white robes suddenly appeared silently before the two.
“Li Qingyun, what brings you and your Li family here?” Lang Yilang asked, his expression unchanged, voice calm.
“Hehe, does Lang Chief mean to say that I haven’t heard your heartfelt stories?” Li Qingyun squinted and smiled.
This comment was somewhat disrespectful; it also admitted that he had been eavesdropping all along.
Lang Yilang's expression turned cold, and he淡淡 said, “Isn't that interesting?”
“Well, interesting it may not be. But I truly did not expect Lang Chief's past to be so tragic,” Li Qingyun said, “Even I was moved hearing it.”
Lang Yilang chuckled oddly, “So, it turns out your Li family’s target is me! Li Qingyun, let’s speak plainly in front of everyone, give your reasons.”
Li Qingyun sighed heavily and said, “Lang Chief, I have come out this time for two reasons: First, to assist Lang Chief in capturing the otherworldly demons and their accomplices; second, I simply wish to invite Lang Chief to visit the Li family; to extend our hospitality, and there is no intent to be enemies, nor do we aim at you, Lang Chief. Please do not misunderstand.”
Lang Yilang clasped his hands behind his back, looking up at the sky. He said softly, “What if I say I won’t go?”
Li Qingyun’s gaze flickered, “Cough, it’s better for Lang Chief to agree! This place is remote, with high mountains and deep pits; if by chance you get lost here, it would be hard to find the way back.”
Lang Yilang sneered coldly.
At that moment, figures shifted; Lang Yilang's nine subordinates and Wanrenjie noticed the anomaly and leaped up.
After a period of recovery, Wanrenjie and the others had regained their strength; besides, these rumored cold-faced tyrants had no hostility towards them. They even prepared some clean water and dry food for the three to eat.
This was a great surprise to the three.
It seemed Lang Yilang truly did not plan to capture them before coming here. He simply wanted to settle an old grudge.
Wanrenjie walked to Wei Wuyan's side, looking at him with questioning eyes.
Wei Wuyan smiled bitterly, “I’m fine.”
The three of them felt relieved.
At this moment, there were fourteen people on this side, while on the opposite side, there was only Li Qingyun.
“What a grand arrangement! When Lang Chief goes out, he truly has a retinue! Thirty-six gold medal enforcers, and there are actually nine accompanying him!” Li Qingyun's eyes sparkled, laughing casually.
Lang Yilang淡淡 replied, “Let your people come out; don’t waste any more breath! I also don’t want to hear you talk nonsense! If you want me, Lang Yilang, to visit your Li family willingly, you Li family don’t have that much face! Let’s see your true colors!”
Li Qingyun laughed heartily, “Lang Chief doesn’t give face! Boys, let’s invite him sincerely!”
With a shout, voices suddenly responded from all directions: “We invite Lang Chief to visit the Li family!”
Figures blurred and surged.
From the southeast, southwest, northeast, and northwest, people in white robes walked in unison!
Wei Wuyan's heart sank: there were at least two hundred of them! And every one was a master!
Lang Yilang's current strength was simply unable to contend with them!
