Chapter 451: The Ambush in the Valley
Yu Cangwu obviously understood what Jiang Yun was thinking and smiled slightly, saying, "You worry too much, if I really wanted to harm you, it wouldn’t matter where I did it!"
That’s the truth!
Although Jiang Yun didn’t know how powerful the Yu family was, from the discussions earlier, especially Qian Jin’s attitude towards Yu Cangwu, it wasn’t hard to imagine.
The Yu family must be very influential, so if Yu Cangwu wanted to harm him, it wouldn’t be difficult.
Thinking this, Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Since Master Yu is so warmly inviting, I will not be disrespectful!"
"Let’s go!"
So, Jiang Yun and Yu Cangwu walked side by side, leaving Qian family’s stone house with great confidence.
As they left, Qian Jin, who had been standing at the door, finally revealed a deep look of resentment on his face.
"Tell the Lin family to keep an eye on this person and the people from Xiao Village! As soon as they leave the Hundred Family Bazaar, kill them all immediately!"
"You dare to ruin the business of my Qian family, looks like you are really asking for trouble!"
Inside the Hundred Family Bazaar, there were restaurants and teahouses. Yu Cangwu, as a wealthy young man, chose the most luxurious restaurant, booked a private room, and had everyone else wait outside, leaving only him and Jiang Yun inside.
Jiang Yun felt a bit relieved by this arrangement, but he remained alert and cautious.
He thought Yu Cangwu would get straight to the point and explain why he wanted to meet.
However, Yu Cangwu kept talking and chatting as if he considered Jiang Yun a close friend.
After half an hour passed with no sign of getting to the point, Jiang Yun lost his patience.
With his mind still on the business in Xiao Village, Jiang Yun was about to leave when Yu Cangwu suddenly slammed his wine glass on the table and sighed.
Jiang Yun sensed that Yu Cangwu was about to speak the truth.
Yu Cangwu’s next words made Jiang Yun’s heart skip a beat.
"Brother Gu, may I see your true face?"
When Yu Cangwu first entered the Qian family’s stone house, he looked straight at Jiang Yun in the crowd.
Jiang Yun then wondered if the other person had seen through his use of the Shape-shifting Art.
Now, hearing him speak like this, Jiang Yun finally knew for sure.
Although he didn’t know how Yu Cangwu did it or what his intentions were, Jiang Yun hesitated briefly before reverting to his true appearance.
After examining Jiang Yun closely, Yu Cangwu smiled and said, "Brother Gu, I’m sure you’re curious why I can see through your changes in appearance!"
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "Yes!"
"Because my master also excels in the art of transformation, but he didn’t teach me. Instead, he taught me how to see through the Shape-shifting Art, which is why I can easily tell when a friend changes their appearance."
Speaking of this, Yu Cangwu poured himself another glass of wine, took a sip, and sighed heavily, saying, "Unfortunately, I haven’t seen my teacher in a long time!"
Now Jiang Yun finally understood that Yu Cangwu, after realizing he had used the Shape-shifting Art, thought of his long-lost teacher, which made him look at Jiang Yun differently.
This left Jiang Yun a bit speechless and made him change his attitude towards Yu Cangwu once again. Regardless of whether he was an extravagant kid, at least he respected his teacher!
"Did your teacher go into closed-door cultivation?"
Yu Cangwu shook his head, saying, "He disappeared! He left without a word, without saying goodbye to me."
"These years, I have been traveling around, seemingly for leisure, but actually trying to find out about his whereabouts. Unfortunately, until now, there has been no news at all."
These words made Jiang Yun’s attitude change again. He clasped his hands together and said to Yu Cangwu, "Your teacher must have had some hidden difficulties, which is why he chose to disappear."
"But I believe that everything will turn out for the best. The two of you will surely meet again."
Yu Cangwu smiled bitterly, saying, "He indeed had some hidden difficulties, and that is another reason why I am looking for Brother Gu."
Jiang Yun wanted to ask more questions, but then his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He realized that his friend Little Fu and other demon beasts were fighting with people in Xiao Village valley!
"Oh no!"
Jiang Yun’s eyes sparked with anger, knowing immediately that people from Mu village or Lin village must have attacked Xiao Village while he was away.
Without waiting to hear what Yu Cangwu had to say, Jiang Yun said, "Sorry, I need to go deal with something urgent. We can talk later!"
With that, Jiang Yun quickly left the inn.
He didn’t care about hiding his tracks anymore and swiftly appeared inside the stone house in Xiao Village.
The stone house was still empty, but Jiang Yun noticed that the Reaching-Sky Pills he had left behind were all gone.
However, Xiao Wangjie and the others were not excited at all; they looked worried and restless, pacing back and forth like ants on a hot plate.
When everyone saw Jiang Yun, they were very happy. Xiao Wangjie quickly went up to Jiang Yun and said, "Master Jiang, something bad has happened. My father just told me that someone is attacking our valley, and our protective formation is about to collapse."
Throughout history, the protective formation at the entrance to the valley has always been Xiao Village’s greatest defense. With the formation in place, they could relax in the valley without worries.
But if the formation collapsed, they would be helpless and vulnerable.
Jiang Yun nodded and said, "I already know about the situation. I came here to tell you all to stay here for now. Don’t leave until the Hundred Family Bazarr is over. I need to go back now!"
If Jiang Yun took Xiao Wangjie and the others back with him, they would be much slower.
Moreover, they might be attacked on the way back, so it was better for them to stay at the Hundred Family Bazarr.
The Hundred Family Bazarr usually lasted for at least ten days. It had only been three days since it started. The remaining seven days should be enough to deal with the trouble at Xiao Village valley.
"Please be careful then!"
Although Xiao Wangjie and the others wanted to go back with Jiang Yun, they knew they would only be a burden. They wouldn’t be able to help and might slow down Jiang Yun instead.
"Hmm, you all be careful too!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yun turned and rushed out.
At this moment, Jiang Yun was really anxious and eager to return!
He was worried not only about the safety of the five demon beasts, but also about the people in Xiao Village.
Although he had expected that killing Master Liu from Mu Village in the past would not go unpunished, he didn’t expect them to launch an attack so quickly.
Obviously, this was likely related to him injuring Lin Xi and others at the Hundred Family Bazaar, as well as stealing business from the Qian family.
In short, all these things can be said to have started because of him.
If anything happened to Xiao Village and the five demon beasts because of him, he would never forgive himself.
Jiang Yun’s eyes filled with killing intent, "It seems that if I can successfully resolve this crisis, then next, I will start to hasten my steps and implement my plan!"
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Yun had already left Hundred Family Bazarr when his special sense detected that there were a dozen more figures behind him.
