Chapter 141: Caught
Yin Wufa cautiously concealed his aura. Although he was confident that this young guy absolutely wouldn't notice him, his long experience as an assassin had made him accustomed to preparing everything flawlessly before taking action.
Ahead was a three-way intersection bustling with people coming and going. To an ordinary person, this intersection was not suitable for making a move due to the sheer number of people. Even if he succeeded, his face would be seen, leading to a potential bounty.
However, in the eyes of a master like Yin Wufa, this three-way intersection was the perfect place to strike. The crowd served as excellent cover, and he was entirely confident that as long as he acted, no one would be able to see him clearly!
So, Yin Wufa swiftly moved and silently positioned himself at a corner of the intersection, lying in wait.
Chu Yang had felt that something was off since he left home. It seemed like someone was secretly watching him, but the feeling was faint.
Moreover, with so many people being monitored by the Butian Pavilion daily, such situations were not uncommon, so he didn't take it to heart.
"Uh, young master, where are we going?" the assassin acting as a retainer behind him asked, feeling quite disgruntled. Come on, I'm a prisoner of the Iron Blood Hall; even if it's a royal relative, as long as the King of Hell has his eye on him, I could deal with him if caught!
Now I’m reduced to being a retainer for this immature little brat… It’s too humiliating!
"Don't talk too much; just follow me," Chu Yang replied lightly. He was currently feeling inexplicably restless. The closer he got to the intersection, the more his heart raced; just as he was trying to figure out what was wrong, this guy interrupted his thoughts.
"Uh." The guy, dragging the gift box, lazily fell behind by half a length. Damn it, does he really think he’s some big shot...
As the arrogant young man turned the corner, the retainer could only sigh and follow. Regardless, this was a task entrusted to him by the imperial seat… he couldn't slack off.
Little did he know, as he turned the corner, he was instantly shocked and gaped: What the hell! Where did that guy go?
In front of him, people were bustling about in the street, yet Chu Yang's figure had vanished! This guy was instantly dumbfounded: What to do now?
Where did that creamy-faced little guy go?
The retainer, still holding the gift box, stood dumbly at the intersection, feeling as if his thoughts had halted. What the hell, this guy has gone missing, how am I going to explain this to Chu King of Hell?
Thinking about the miserable life awaiting him when he returned, this guy suddenly felt lost, and after a moment, rushed into the crowd, asking everyone: Have you seen a young and handsome boy in black?
Just after Chu Yang turned the corner, he suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of danger arise, and before he knew it, his body became immobile. A strong hand grabbed his shoulder, a surge of immense force flooded through his limbs, and in an instant, he couldn't move even a little finger, with only a desperate thought flashing through his mind: Damn! I've been caught...
Then he felt himself leave the ground, as someone carried him under their arm and swiftly flew into the air, landing at least ten zhang away from the intersection.
So fast! So stealthy!
It must be a King Level expert!
No wonder I didn't detect the danger!
At this moment, the one who came to catch him was probably a person from Diwu Qingrou, from the Golden Horse Knights Hall!
Chu Yang calmly closed his eyes, a bitter smile on his face: Here I was, talking about conquering the world and reversing fate; now I’ve fallen into the hands of the enemy, and there's no hope for survival left.
It seems that my ambitions will be thwarted before they even begin.
The only thing Chu Yang found strange was: Who sold him out? He had been mysteriously concealed for so long, and things had been going well; why was he caught so accurately by others?
