Transcending the Nine Heavens

CHAPTER 159: No matter how many troops you have, watch me leave you in the dust!

“However, you can come in as well…” The Sword Spirit suddenly changed its tone.

As Chu Yang was overjoyed, the Sword Spirit continued, “Once you obtain the eighth segment of the Nine Calamity Sword, you can come in.”

Chu Yang wisely chose not to speak further. It was enough to provoke himself; this detestable Sword Spirit was even more infuriating with its words.

Finally, a patrol squad passed by.

Chu Yang controlled the hay to avoid making a sound and swiftly dashed out, immediately putting on a full set of black clothing. Naturally, there was no time for underwear.

In his anxious state, he had entered this small pile of hay, which was the perfect cover. The more obvious the target, the less noticeable one becomes in such situations. Everyone’s attention was drawn to all the dark corners…

Just like that, dressed in a tight outfit that perfectly matched the search squad, he boldly looked around, followed closely behind them, and even greeted, “How’s it going? Did you find anything?”

“Found nothing!” replied the leader of the squad, a burly man, frustrated. “We’re about to drive ourselves mad…”

“We’re in the same boat,” Chu Yang sighed. “Just now, the captain asked me to jump to a certain spot, only to find that I jumped into a toilet…”

“Hahaha…” The six men laughed heartily, clearly finding Chu Yang’s words amusing.

Suddenly, a figure swooped down. “Any clues?”

It was Jing Menghun.

The leader of the squad said, “Reporting to the throne, no.”

Jing Menghun angrily replied, “Useless! Keep searching!” He then soared into the air, searching ahead.

Chu Yang noticed the direction where Jing Menghun was headed was towards the West City Gate and said, “You all keep searching; I’ll regroup.” The six men waved in unison, “Go ahead, go ahead.”

With a smile, Chu Yang swiftly made his way in the opposite direction from where Jing Menghun was heading.

After he left, the squad leader finally regained his senses, scratching his head, “Who’s this clueless kid coming out from there?”

The other five exchanged glances, and one of them said, “That guy is really lucky; he jumped into a toilet… He must have gone back to change clothes and come back…”

Laughter erupted among them, and the squad leader’s suspicion vanished. “Let’s go, everyone be careful… This is Chu King of Hell; if we catch him, it’ll be a great achievement… But be mindful, we don’t want to end up dead at his hands and become honored dead.”

As they chatted, they walked away.

The squad leader’s reaction was quite quick; if he followed his original line of thought, he would have been on high alert seeing Chu Yang appear alone. After all, everyone else was in groups—who would be wandering alone?

But what one of his subordinates said perfectly explained why Chu Yang appeared… It was truly… beyond words.

At this moment, Chu Yang hadn’t walked far and couldn’t help but smile upon hearing their explanation.

He walked east for a while, and after some time, several search squads appeared ahead, so Chu Yang turned north; he had an idea: instead of taking a convoluted route, why not charge straight to the North Gate!

Iron Cloud is located to the north of Zhongzhou!

Along the way, he encountered several search teams, but Chu Yang neither dodged nor avoided them. He confidently brushed off all inquiries with the excuse of having jumped into a toilet to change clothes.

The North Gate was in sight.

However, as Chu Yang saw it from afar, he couldn’t help but gasp.

He saw many men in black gathering by the city gate, the gate was tightly shut, and the number of soldiers guarding it had increased fivefold or more, with swords and knives drawn, glinting coldly!

How to get past this?

In the city, he could use excuses, but he couldn’t use them to exit! Once he got close to the city gate, he would probably be sent back immediately.

But… seeing that the time until the orchid fragrance on him dissipated was no more than a quarter of an hour! What to do?
