"Think you can escape? Not so easy!"

The old man had already made his move, but he reached for Ye Luo instead.

Within the council hall, a colossal hand suddenly appeared, as if trying to grasp both Ye Luo and the carriage in its grip!

A terrifying aura swept over them.

Ye Luo had no time to hesitate. He wanted to rescue Nalan Chen, but it was too late. After giving Nalan Chen one last look, Ye Luo immediately activated the special ability of the Sumi Honor—Teleportation!

"Uncle Chen! No, Uncle Chen!"

Nalan Rou’s eyes brimmed with tears. She knew Nalan Chen’s intentions, but Nalan Chen had watched over her growth since she was a child. Ever since the violent deaths of Nalan Rou’s parents, one could say that Nalan Chen had become the last of Nalan Rou’s family. But today, they were to be separated.

Leaving Nalan Chen behind, there was a high chance that he might die...

Nalan Rou’s voice was filled with sorrow, yet Ye Luo did not hesitate and still activated the teleportation ability!

The carriage burst into a flash of light and vanished instantly!

The entire Nalan Family’s council hall fell into dead silence; no one had imagined that under such circumstances, Ye Luo could still escape!

Even that powerful individual stood with a forehead slick with sweat, his expression filled with horror.

It must be known that what the Junior City Lord truly cared about was Nalan Rou!

So much trouble had been caused, all for the sake of just Nalan Rou alone!

As for the Nalan Family, the Junior City Lord wouldn’t really care too much about it.

But now, Nalan Rou had been rescued by Ye Luo right under their noses. They dared not imagine the consequences once the Junior City Lord flew into a rage!

"Tie him up and hang him on the city gate. I don’t believe they won’t come to rescue him!"

The powerful individual glared viciously at Nalan Chen and made his decision.

Truthfully, he also had no confidence in his heart, but other than using Nalan Chen as bait, what other method did they have?

At this moment, Nalan Chen wore a content smile on his face; as long as Nalan Rou was safe, even if he were to die, he would have no regrets.

Hearing that the powerful individual wanted to use himself as bait to lure Ye Luo and Nalan Rou to rescue him, Nalan Rou suddenly wanted to commit suicide.

Regrettably, his actions were still a bit too slow. In front of a Qi Cyclone Realm sixth realm powerhouse, Nalan Chen didn’t even have the chance to take his own life!

When Ye Luo activated the Sumi Honor’s teleportation in haste, there was simply no time to set a destination. It was merely a random teleportation.

When the light faded, Ye Luo himself did not know where he had been teleported.

He let the carriage slowly move forward on the road.

Within the carriage, Ye Luo silently watched over Nalan Rou.

Nalan Rou, as the young lady of the Nalan Family and the current Family Head, worked conscientiously and tried her best to preserve the Nalan family’s enterprise. Yet, she could never have expected such an outcome!

That Nalan Chen, whom Ye Luo had known since entering the Martial Realm, was such a good old servant, but now his life and death were uncertain.

Watching Nalan Rou sobbing softly, Ye Luo did not know how to comfort her. He could only silently approach her and gently pat her back.

Nalan Rou, feeling Ye Luo’s consolation, suddenly threw herself into his arms, crying even louder.

All the grievances and bitterness of this period of time finally erupted fully today.

Nalan Rou cried, her cries were loud and uninhibited, like those of a child!

In fact, at Nalan Rou’s age, other girls would probably be getting an education in academy, or else playing joyfully at home with friends.

But she, on the other hand, had prematurely taken on the burden of her family’s enterprise.

Moreover, even so, she constantly faced all kinds of schemes and intrigues, prying eyes from outsiders, and betrayal from within, all of which truly exhausted Nalan Rou!

Ye Luo said nothing, simply holding Nalan Rou, letting her cry out loud.

Perhaps, the great upheaval of the Nalan Family in the small Nan Zhou City would not even stir the slightest ripple in the Great Tang Empire, yet that was all Nalan Rou had.

Ye Luo made a silent vow in his heart, he must help Nalan Rou reclaim the Nalan Family.

Of course, the Junior City Lord too!

Ye Luo was determined to slay him with his own hands!

The only regret at the moment, was Nalan Chen. Ye Luo didn’t yet know that those people hadn’t killed Nalan Chen but had hanged him atop the city walls, waiting for Ye Luo to rescue him.

In Ye Luo’s mind, based on common sense, he feared that Nalan Chen had already been killed.

Nalan Rou cried for more than an hour, finally venting enough, she silently sat up straight and asked Ye Luo, "Where are we now?"

Ye Luo, suppressing the discomfort and anger in his heart, managed a smile and said: "I also don’t know where we are right now, at that time everything was chaotic, I could only manage to randomly teleport!"

Ye Luo knew, now he was once again without a home, and this time, there was also a Nalan Rou for whom he needed to take care!

Nalan Rou could be considered a beauty that could bring disaster to a country, wherever she went she might simply attract trouble, unfortunately, Nalan Rou now, apart from him, had no other strength to rely on.

Of course, everything else aside, the most critical issue was that Ye Luo now had no money!

It goes without saying for Nalan Chen, he might be even poorer than Ye Luo.

In Ye Luo’s hands right now, apart from those materials initially purchased for the Nalan Family, he only had less than a hundred silver coins on his entire person!

A hundred silver coins, what could that do?

Unfortunately, that was the reality.

Hearing Ye Luo’s explanation, Nalan Rou nodded slightly, then asked Ye Luo, "So what do we do next?"

At this point, Nalan Rou had already come to rely entirely on Ye Luo, so naturally, she could only depend on Ye Luo for what to do next.

"First, let’s find an inn to settle down before anything else!"

Ye Luo said to Nalan Rou, casually waving his hand to retrieve the Sumeru Honor.

After all, while the Sumeru Honor had many benefits, it had one flaw, it recovered Spiritual Power very slowly. If it ran out, Ye Luo would need to purchase Spiritual Power to recharge it.

Ye Luo currently had no money to buy compressed Spiritual Power, so he must save every bit he could.

The two of them quickly found an inn, and only after they inquired, did they find out that this time, the Sumeru Honor had actually teleported them to Yunkai City, a million miles away!

This could be considered the maximum distance the Sumeru Honor could teleport at the moment, an unlikely scenario that had just occurred!

Of course, perhaps being farther away might be a good thing!

Ye Luo must return to Nan Zhou City; even if he just found a way to pay respects to Nalan Chen, he was determined to go back. However, the Sumeru Honor was now compromised, and as for the city’s Transmission Array, leaving aside whether Ye Luo was qualified to use it, even if he was qualified, he did not have the money to use it, so Ye Luo could only stay peacefully in Yunkai City for the time being.
