“Oh! Those two idiots let the prey get away. If I was the one chasing him, this wouldn’t have happened!”
Chester drove to the junction and pulled the car over. He extended both hands out regrettably. However, his expression didn’t reveal a shred of regret. His face remained ice-cold.
Chester made a turn as he drove up the swirling highway. After driving a certain distance, he avoided the surveillance cameras and waited for Jim and Paul to enter from the roadside.
“What now? You two are idiots!” Chester shrugged his shoulders habitually as he spoke angrily.
“There’s a surveillance camera at that gas station. We didn’t have a choice. However, he couldn’t have run that far. Even if he’s in Qingshui City, we have our ways of finding him. We’ll chase after him!” Jim said coldly.
Cao Tianlong used up all of his energy. He sprinted forth at full speed while he was being chased down by two descendants of the Blood Clan. He had already lost all power by now and was almost too weak to even step on the accelerator. However, he remained steadfast. Using all of his resilience, he continued driving. He had to get into Qingshui City alive!
It was still late at night, and there was some time left before daybreak. It was the perfect time for the Blood Clan to make their move. Cao Tianlong could only make use of the vibrant city and surveillance cameras to escape the Blood Clan’s assassination.
After a few minutes, Cao Tianlong got off the swirling highway and headed into Qingshui City’s northern region. Trailing along Gufeng Road, he headed north. The skyline of the city got increasingly complex and crowded. There were security cameras everywhere, giving Cao Tianlong a great sense of ease.
“Qingxi Villa District Four… I suppose it must be close to where Little Sister lived, at Qingxi Villa District Three…”
Cao Tianlong analyzed this quietly. Cao Shanshan had lived in Qingxi Villa District for three years. Obviously, he knew where it was.
Cao Tianlong drove to the junction at Gufeng Road and Qingxi Road. He scanned his surroundings and the signposts for a moment before he continued driving.
This place was very close to Qingxi Villa District, only a few kilometers away.
Cao Tianlong arrived outside Qingxi Villa District and pulled up next to a patrolling security guard. Without getting out, he asked directly, “Hello, how can I get to Qingxi Villa District’s Mansion Number One?”
He didn’t dare to get out because his military uniform was in tatters and couldn’t even cover his body. If the security guard suspected him, he might be arrested for car theft. In reality, he had stolen the car.
“That cut on your face looks severe. Sir, what are you going to Mansion Number One for? That’s where Ling Yun lives. Normal people can’t go there…”
The number of people who came to Mansion Number One in search of Ling Yun was far too many. Currently, Mansion Number One had a great reputation that extended far and wide. Naturally, the security guard understood how to handle inquiries like those.
Cao Tianlong said in a deep voice, “Ling Yun is my brother-in-law!” Hearing that Ling Yun’s Mansion Number One was a place that was so well-known that even a security guard knew that it was his residence, he felt at ease. He decided to make his move quickly, intending to meet Ling Yun before he came up with a plan.
Once that security guard heard that, he frowned. He thought that this was probably one of his many beauties’ older brother. The number of women by Ling Yun’s side was far too many. Seeing how handsome the man before him looked, he chose to believe his words.
The security guard bowed respectfully and pointed in a direction. “Sir, it’s nice to meet you. Do you see that? Near the lake, the largest mansion there is the place. His mansion has a personal pier constructed there. I hear he’s getting a luxury yacht soon…”
Cao Tianlong responded with a “thank you” in a low voice. Without thinking twice, he stepped on the pedal and sped straight towards Mansion Number One!
The car rumbled loudly, alarming Tie Xiaohu, who was cultivating his Stellar Condensation Technique inside the mansion. Furrowing his thick brow, he stood up immediately. With a slight flicker of his body, he appeared at the entrance of the mansion.
“Who is it?” Tie Xiaohu hollered in a low voice!
“Hurry, get Ling Yun, help me! I’m Cao Shanshan’s… older brother! Cao… Tian… Long!”
Cao Tianlong finally spotted someone. He opened the door and said this to Tie Xiaohu with gritted teeth. However, he fell to the ground immediately after and passed out!
Amidst such a huge life-and-death situation where his family was in danger of being eliminated, Cao Tianlong managed to escape with a wisp of his life. The fact that he was able to hang on until now was already a miracle. Now that his heart was completely at ease, he immediately passed out from relief!
“What? Cao Shanshan’s older brother?” Once Tie Xiaohu heard this, he became impossibly shocked. He knew that this wasn’t good. For a moment, he ignored Cao Tianlong, who was passed out on the ground. Instead, he pulled out his phone immediately to give Ling Yun a call.
As Ling Yun was going to leave Qingshui City the next day, he knew that he would receive lots of calls. That was why he didn’t keep his phone in his spatial ring. In an instant, the call went through.
Ling Yun was currently discussing matters with Cui Lao. Seeing that a call had come, he pulled his phone out cheerfully. He wondered which wife of his it was this time. However, when he looked at the display, he saw that it was actually Tie Xiaohu. This made him a little disappointed.
Damn, didn’t I tell you that I’d be discussing matters with Cui Lao before I left? Why are you calling me now…
Ling Yun frowned as he swiped to pick up the call. He started scolding immediately. “What’s the problem this time? I’m going to leave soon, what’s the hoo-ha?”
Seeing that the call got through, Tie Xiaohu responded immediately, “Brother Yun, a young man drove to Mansion Number One to see you. He says that he’s Cao Shanshan’s older brother, Cao Tianlong! He needs you to help him and save his life!”
What?
Hearing this, Ling Yun was so shocked that his soul nearly jumped out of his body. He responded, “Don’t hang up, I’m coming over immediately!”
The Cao Family was indeed in danger!
Without explaining a thing to Cui Lao, he held his phone and dashed out. Without even driving, he used his Qinggong and dashed through the city. With his current abilities, he was ten times faster than a car.
Ling Yun used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability to the maximum. With a flash of his body, he traveled hundreds of meters. He rushed towards Mansion Number One at full speed. With every hop, Cui Lao was left farther behind. Four minutes later, Ling Yun appeared at the entrance of Mansion Number One. His body flickered again as he entered the mansion.
“Where is he?” Ling Yun put his phone away as he asked in a low voice.
“Brother Yun, he’s passed out and hasn’t woken up. I’ve brought him into the house first…” Tie Xiaohu said to Ling Yun.
Ling Yun flew into the building. With his divine sense, he identified Cao Tianlong. He was indeed Cao Shanshan’s older brother.
Ling Yun had explored Cao Shanshan’s mansion in the past and had seen Cao Tianlong’s picture inside Cao Shanshan’s room before. Obviously, he recognized Cao Tianlong.
“He’s fine, he only suffered some light injuries. Now he just has to recover his energy…” Ling Yun said in a low voice.
Ling Yun could tell that Cao Tianlong was an expert at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight. Anyone who could drain the energy of an expert at this level… Something huge must have happened.
With a flash of his body, Ling Yun appeared next to Cao Tianlong. He pressed his right hand onto Cao Tianlong’s body, transferring pure Yang Qi to him.
Soon, Cao Tianlong woke up with a grunt. Opening his eyes, he looked at Ling Yun, who was squatted next to him. Then, he asked in surprise, “You… you are Ling Yun?”
After Cao Shanshan reconciled with Ling Yun, she had shown Cao Tianlong a picture of him. That was why Cao Tianlong could recognize Ling Yun instantly.
“Don’t say anything. If you want to talk, wait a while first…” Ling Yun said in a low voice as he continued to channel pure Yang Qi into his body.
The healing power from pure Yang Qi was naturally something more powerful than any other medicine. Cao Tianlong recovered his energy quickly. Shaking his hand a little, Ling Yun took out dozens of Grade Four Healing Talismans, using them on Cao Tianlong’s injuries.
Cao Tianlong realized that all the scratches on his body recovered completely. Not a single scar remained on his body!
“This…”
Ling Yun said in a low voice, “You’re fine now. This isn’t the time for you to be shocked. Tell me, what happened? How is Cao Shanshan now?”
With that, he turned to look at Tie Xiaohu. “Bring some water here. Then, go to my room and grab a set of clothes for him.”
Tie Xiaohu nodded and headed off. Cao Tianlong sat up and moved his body a little. Shockingly, not only were his injuries completely recovered, but he felt an amazing amount of energy flowing through him. He finally understood that he had found the right person. For some reason, his heart fluttered in excitement.
“Something’s happened to my family… it’s a big problem!”
Cao Tianlong said this as he recalled, “Our Cao Family has been taken over by the Blood Clan…”
“The Blood Clan? What’s the Blood Clan?” Ling Yun asked in a low voice. Then, he continued, “How is Cao Shanshan now?” Ling Yun was still most concerned about Cao Shanshan.
Cao Tianlong’s tiger eyes welled up with tears. His figure trembled as he said, “I haven’t seen Cao Shanshan. After I returned home, I realized there was a strange aura in the house. Everyone was cold, and their complexions were completely pale. When they talked, they sounded cold and lifeless…”
“At the time, I felt something was wrong. That’s because when I went home, it was the first time my grandpa didn’t greet me outside the house. In the past, he was always the first one to greet me at the entrance…
“It was still bright, and the sun was shining. When I realized something was wrong, I asked my grandfather to step out of the house for a moment. However, he refused to come out. That was when I knew it was over. So, I found an excuse to escape on my own.”
Cao Tianlong’s heart was in turmoil. He was completely out of his wits as he talked haphazardly. However, with what Ling Yun heard, he understood that the Cao Family was in danger and was being controlled by the Blood Clan. Right now, Cao Shanshan might not be with the Cao Family. She might be hidden elsewhere.
“You didn’t meet Shanshan? How did you end up like this?”
Ling Yun wasn’t worried about the Blood Clan at all, he just wanted to know where Cao Shanshan was.
“I was being chased down by the Blood Clan and escaped all the way here. If I was captured by the Blood Clan too, our Cao Family would definitely cease to exist in China!
“Ling Yun, I know that your medical skills are top-notch. I, Cao Tianlong, am here to beg you. You have to think of a way to save our Cao Family. My grandfather, parents, and my little sister…”
Cao Tianlong’s tiger eyes shed tears as he knelt down in front of Ling Yun!
