Chapter 116: Night Pursuit
The fierce wind howled as Black Wind moved swiftly, like a black smoke streaking across the sky.
"By the way, Little Yun, that Wash Marrow Pill is quite special. Why don’t you take this chance to refine it? Not only can it purify your energy, but the complete Wash Marrow Pill can also help you directly level up to the fifth grade of the Innate Realm."
As Black Wind flew, he spoke.
"There’s no rush. I just advanced to the fourth grade of the Innate Realm, so I’m not in a hurry to proceed further. Anyway, there are still six days until the night of the full moon. Let’s first go to Jade Wheel City to see what’s happening and learn about Pan Hong’s situation. Knowing ourselves and our opponents gives us a chance to win. Acting hastily could lead to disaster."
Yun Yi said, as he always had his own plans. He wasn’t in a hurry to use the Wash Marrow Pill to advance since he had just recently reached the fourth grade, and his foundation wasn’t quite stable yet.
"Alright, you have a good attitude, realizing that cultivation takes patience. If it were someone else, they would probably be eager to refine the Wash Marrow Pill right away."
Black Wind nodded, as resisting the temptation of the Wash Marrow Pill was not an easy task.
Jade Wheel City was located in the southern region under the control of the Yanwu family, near Yellow Crane Gate, making it a border point for two major powers.
It was nestled against a vast mountain range called the Jade Wheel Mountain Range, where resources were abundant, making it a perfect place for cultivation.
Because it was quite far from the Yanwu family, there was a feeling of distance and separation from higher authority.
Therefore, Jade Wheel City was often a mix of people from different backgrounds, gathering various factions and complex forces.
Because of this distance from the Yanwu family, Pan Hong’s courage grew bolder. In such a chaotic place, it was easy to be swayed and lose oneself.
Everyone had ambitions, and everyone wanted to be an emperor. Pan Hong was no exception. In the rich Jade Wheel City, Pan Hong was nothing more than a local emperor. As his ambitions grew larger, his actions became more reckless, wanting to build his own power here.
When Yun Yi and Black Wind arrived at Jade Wheel City, the sky had already darkened, and night had fallen.
Jade Wheel City did not seem very large, about the same size as Red Moon City. A feeling of chaos and cruelty hung over the city, especially at night, when that feeling was most apparent.
"It seems this city is not very peaceful."
Yun Yi said with a smile as he stood before the city gate, while Black Wind crouched on his shoulder; their roles had switched.
"It is only right that it is not peaceful; you came here to bring order."
Black Wind replied.
"Let’s go, into the city."
Yun Yi casually adjusted his clothes and then strode toward the gates of Jade Wheel City.
Yun Yi had just taken a few steps when he suddenly heard a voice coming from far away.
Because the voice was quite distant, it was not very clear, but Yun Yi’s senses were very sharp, and he still sensed it clearly.
Yun Yi turned to look and saw a figure jumping out from high above the walls of Jade Wheel City, stumbling and rushing forward, quickly disappearing into the darkness.
Soon after, five or six people in black clothing jumped out from inside the city walls and chased after the direction where that figure had escaped.
"Looks like something interesting is happening."
Black Wind chuckled.
"Let’s go and see."
Yun Yi immediately gave up his plan to enter the city and turned to chase after those people in black. His purpose for coming to Jade Wheel City was Pan Hong, and those people had come out from the city. From their appearances, they looked quite powerful. With Yun Yi’s keen eyes, he could tell that the strength of those black-clothed individuals was above the sixth grade of the Innate Realm.
Such strength was considered quite formidable in Jade Wheel City.
For Yun Yi, instead of wandering aimlessly in the city for information, it would be better to catch up and see the excitement; maybe he would find the information he wanted.
Outside Jade Wheel City, there was a dense jungle.
In the darkness, a figure staggered and ran away, holding a battle sword. The arm that held the sword was obviously injured, and blood flowed from his palm onto the sword, then dripped onto the ground.
It was an old man, looking to be around fifty years old, with a good level of skill, having reached the sixth grade of the Innate Realm.
But the old man’s injuries were also very serious; his chest was badly wounded by a sharp weapon, blood gushed out continuously, staining his yellow shirt. On one arm, there was a deep cut where the white bone was visible.
The old man’s face was pale, breathing heavily, and his steps grew heavier. It seemed impossible for him to escape the pursuers behind him.
Looking up at the moonlight, a hint of bitterness appeared at the corner of the old man’s mouth, and his face was filled with anger and hatred, along with a strong sense of unwillingness.
"Chase, hurry up! That old guy is just ahead, follow the blood trail; he won’t get away."
A man in black shouted from behind.
Six men in black moved swiftly through the dark forest, as quick as the wind. A group followed the blood trail and soon surrounded the old man.
"Old man, why aren’t you running?"
The leader, a muscular man with a fierce look, stared at the old man. He had a terrifying scar on his face that made him seem even more dangerous.
"You kidnapped my granddaughter and killed my friends; you will not die easily."
The old man gritted his teeth, his eyes full of rage, showing his deep hatred.
"Hmph! You old fool, your granddaughter’s contribution to the City Lord is her fortune. Not only are you ungrateful, but you dare to kill the City Master’s people—you’re outrageous!"
The scar-faced man scoffed, his face twisted with anger.
"Ha ha! Pan Hong practices dark magic and has no conscience. Sooner or later, someone will take revenge on him. I hate that Hu Quan cannot avenge my fallen friends, cannot save my granddaughter from the flames, and cannot witness Pan Hong’s punishment. I am not satisfied!"
Hu Quan laughed at the sky, his laughter incredibly sorrowful.
In the darkness, Yun Yi watched everything, feeling the coldness all over his body.
The experience in front of Hu Quan was so similar to his own back then.
Back then, people from Marquis Yang Mansion had chased him for miles, the Yun family was under control, and his situation was so desperate and frustrating.
"What good is it to be frustrated? Old man, since you have such a good relationship with your companions, go down and be with them. As for your granddaughter, don’t worry; on the night of the full moon, you can all reunite below."
The scarred man said, raising his big knife, a flash of cold light shining as he chopped down at the old man.
The old man wore a face of despair; if it were during his prime, he could have fought the scarred man, but now he was seriously injured and could only display a fraction of his power, making him no match for the scarred man.
Facing this strike, the only thing the old man could do was to wait for his end.
This is the dark world; even if you have endless frustration, what does it matter?
It’s unfair, but there isn’t much fairness in this world.
