Ao Xieyun's injuries had long healed under Chu Yang's incomplete ninefold pill. He could walk on his own now without needing anyone to carry him, but along the way, there was a sense of melancholy and silence.
"Senior Brother, why not just kill him instead of playing around?" Tan Tan raised his eyebrows.
"Killing him... wouldn't that be too easy for him?" Chu Yang rolled his eyes. "Keeping them alive is much more useful! First, they can divert the pursuers; second, they can exhaust the strength of those families; third, the Meng family is already finished... Letting him watch his family be destroyed is the best punishment, isn't it?"
"That's right! If we just killed him, he wouldn't know anything. What a pity!" Rocky Luo smugly explained while adjusting his pants.
"Hey... does it hurt?" Ji Mo glanced at Rocky Luo's pants with a hint of trepidation, scratching his own out of instinct, thinking: Young Master Luo Er is really something; he's been doing that all day... Just watching it makes my stomach hurt. After this, how painful must his lower abdomen be...
While they were talking, Chu Yang made a gesture, and everyone neatly bent down, lying low in the grass while looking back.
They saw two figures in the distance seemingly fleeing with someone on their backs, and shortly after, a large group of people surged out behind them.
From afar, it looked like a swarm of ants chasing after two other ants, with those two ants carrying a smaller one...
"This is so damn satisfying!" Rocky Luo leaned over, exclaiming, "How crazy... How deep must their hatred be to chase them like this..."
"Yeah, for Dreamfall to survive this much, it's not in vain... There are only a few families like this in the middle three heavens, and now they're all hunting him down. This is truly the treatment of the eldest young master of the Ao family," Ji Mo said with sparkling eyes, appearing quite envious.
"That's right! They organized this action and ended up offending the Ao family, Xie family, Mo family, Dong family, Luo family, and Gu family; Ji family... Now the ones hunting him are the Ou family, Dark Demon, Tian family, Tu family, Li family, Zhao family..." Dong Wushang counted, and couldn't help but be startled. "Wow! This Young Master Dreamfall really got himself into a lot of trouble."
"He must have great courage," Rocky Luo praised.
"But the most courageous one is still our boss! You know, all these people dealing with the Meng family were brought in by the boss; in fact, Dreamfall didn't do anything at all... This injustice is really... hard to explain and impossible to record!"
Ji Mo clicked his tongue and concluded, "Look at Dreamfall, brothers, as a lesson for the future: don't offend our boss... You might end up like Dreamfall, who knows... Uh, don't glare at me, Young Master Luo, I'm talking about you."
Rocky Luo immediately exploded, grabbing him by the neck. "Who is Dreamfall? You are Dreamfall! Your whole family is Dreamfall!"
Everyone laughed.
In the meantime, they noticed quite a few people searching towards the sides.
Chu Yang smiled and stood up. "Let's go; it's basically safe now. These people have split into four directions. Even if they catch up to us, we won't be afraid. We're heading to the Xie family to find Xie Danqiong."
The group darted off like the wind, silently flying away into the dark forest.
Ao Xieyun smiled and said while walking, "Brother Chu, thank you for saving me today! This kindness, I, Ao Xieyun, will repay in kind!"
Chu Yang continued walking without looking back, casually saying, "Oh? Since that's the case, how do you plan to repay me?"
Ao Xieyun was taken aback; he had merely said that as a formal courtesy. At such a time, who thinks about how to repay someone? His mind was in disarray...
"Hehe... I saved you, so I don't expect you to repay me." Chu Yang said lightly. "I didn't save you for some grand cause or chaos, but because they were trying to kill you to frame us. If you died, we would have a big problem. If it weren't for that, even if you were the eldest young master of the nine great families of the upper three heavens... I wouldn't have saved you."
