Chapter 593 Reunion

Zuo Qingqing looked at Guo Yuqing with a complex expression.

If it hadn’t been for the newly-recruited member from the inferior Worm Realm, she and Younger Liu wouldn’t have been able to escape. In fact, from the current situation, it seemed that the two of them had been a drag on Guo Yuqing. At this time, she wanted to tell Guo Yuqing to leave them alone and get out of here as soon as possible, and maybe there was hope for him to escape. However, she just couldn’t bring herself to say that even though the words were just on her lips.

Because she wanted to live and seek revenge.

Without Guo Yuqing, there was little chance for her and Younger Liu to get out of here in one piece.

Guo Yuqing turned around and took a look at the little girl who had been soaked through. He easily picked up the hesitation and entanglement in the little girl’s eyes.

He smiled slightly and said, “I’ve killed their men. I bet they wouldn’t let me off the hook now.”

The hesitation and guilt Zuo Qingqing had immediately dissipated.

“That’s right. What am I thinking about at this juncture?”

They were already in the same boat.

Sticking together and helping one another was the only way out.

“Thank you, I…”

“Shh, don’t speak. Someone is coming.” Guo Yuqing’s muscles suddenly tightened.

He turned his head to look at the end of the alley in the rain and tilted his head to listen carefully. Then, he said, “You two, go back along the way we came, and return to the place where we and the law enforcement team fought before…”

After that, he darted out as swiftly and fast as a black cat in the dark night, sprinting toward the end of the alley in the rain.

A moment later, the clashing of the weapons and the shouting of a fight sounded over there.

…

Li Mu’s speed was extremely fast.

According to the rough location Ding Yi had told him, Li Mu quickly rushed toward the alley in the rain. Along the way, he saw disciples of the Tianyi Palace all racing to the same area. He knew that they were going there to kill Guo Yuqing.

Following these people, Li Mu came to a place about four to five kilometers away from the alley in the rain. Ahead appeared the ground-based and air-based checkpoints set by the Tianyi Palace. There were also a large number of disciples of the Tianyi Palace patrolling the sky and the ground. This place was heavily guarded.

The region was under temporary control, which forbade irrelevant people to enter or leave.

Li Mu hid on the side and observed in secret.

Shortly, he saw a scene that left him extremely shocked.

Four disciples of the Tianyi Palace broke into a nearby shop and skillfully plundered it. The holler of the shop owner was heard, but it soon stopped.

Moments later, the four disciples of the Tianyi Palace rushed out of the shop.

A middle-aged man holding a sword, who should be the shop owner, cried out in despair like a wild beast and chased after them. But the next moment, with a flash of sword light, a master of the law enforcement team made a move, and the middle-aged man was killed at the gate of his shop.

“Robbery?”

Li Mu knitted his brows.

“What is the Tianyi Palace doing?”

“Are they in the middle of hunting down Guo Yuqing and the other two? Why did they suddenly start to do this kind of thing?”

“Could it be that the owner of this shop had offended the members of the Tianyi Palace and they just got back at him?”

But soon, something even more appalling occurred.

After robbing that shop, it turned out that they were not done yet.

Dozens of disciples of the Tianyi Palace divided themselves into ten groups and began to rob other shops, houses, and buildings in that area indiscriminately. Whether they encountered resistance or the owners of these shops who offered their property voluntarily, the disciples of the Tianyi Palace mercilessly killed them. None of them was spared!

In the blink of an eye, the disciples of the Tianyi Palace had looted the whole street.

Blood mixed with the rain was flowing down the road on the rainy night.

Li Mu was so shocked that his heart turned cold as he witnessed the carnage.

The people of the Tianyi Palace were worse than the most vicious bandits in the inferior world. They were completely inhuman. Even though some shop owners had obediently given their properties to them and begged for mercy, they still could not escape death.

What was going on?

Soon, Li Mu saw a luxurious flying shuttle in the distance punctured the curtain of rain and raced over.

Mu Shun was standing on the deck of the flying shuttle and cast a magic shield to block out the heavy rain.

At this moment, Mu Shun was in high spirits.

Looking at the robbed streets below, he had no intention of stopping the crime. Instead, he pointed to the other streets, his eyes shining with greed. He said to several trusted subordinates beside him, “In these streets, there are also a few rich people. Let’s rob them, too. This is a rare opportunity. If we missed it this time, we would never know when it would come again.”

His trusted subordinates immediately led the disciples of the Tianyi Palace on the flying boat behind them to loot and kill.

It was not until this time that Li Mu finally realized that the Tianyi Palace was really robbing the blocks in broad daylight.

The disciples of the Tianyi Palace who were responsible for guarding the surroundings had blocked all the ways in and out. It was impossible for outsiders to even get close to the region, let alone go in. Some people had set up tactical deployment around the streets to prevent people from prying. Even though the shouts, roars, and cries begging for mercy during the confrontation in the streets were earth-shattering, none of that could be heard outside.

The disciples of the Tianyi Palace had a clear division of labor and were quite skillful with the looting, which indicated that it was not the first time they had done such a thing.

Li Mu didn’t know what to say.

Although he and the Tianyi Palace were enemies, Li Mu always thought that the latter was definitely one of the decent sects in the Brilliance Immortal Star Region. However, those people had actually committed such unforgivable crimes in private. What they did was even more diabolical than the Devil’s Practice.

Li Mu remained silent for a moment, then, secretly recorded everything with the Water Mirror Technique.

It wasn’t that he didn’t consider jumping out and stopping them. It was just that he was incapable of action.

Once he showed up in the open, he wouldn’t even be able to protect himself, let alone find a way to save Guo Yuqing.

The lives of the people in troubled times were as cheap as insects and ants.

When the others were not looking, Li Mu cast an illusion to hide his tracks and entered the alley in the rain.

He took out a jade medallion and carefully sensed it. Suddenly, a look of delight appeared on his face.

“Yes!”

I’ve found him.”

…

After the battle, six members of the law enforcement team were killed.

When the fierce battle was over, Guo Yuqing’s injuries worsened and he panted heavily.

He had been supporting himself with his machetes. He was soaked in blood from head to foot and could hardly stand on his feet.

Younger Liu and Zuo Qingqing, one on the left and the other on the right, were supporting Guo Yuqing. They were afraid that he would fall down and never get up again.

Behind them came the sound of footsteps and the sound of something breaking through the air.

The pursuers came again.

Younger Liu gritted his teeth and said, “I’ll lure them away.”

As he spoke, he whipped around and prepared to double back.

Guo Yuqing grabbed him back and shook his head. “Don’t make meaningless sacrifices. It’s too late.”

Before his voice died away, dozens of figures appeared around them.

This time, there were more than 20 masters of the law enforcement team. They surrounded the three people from all directions. As if a cat was playing with a mouse before swallowing it, they slowly closed in on them. In the heavy rain, their black armor seemed to have merged with the darkness. Cold killing intent swept over at them.

“Let’s fight them to death,” cried Younger Liu, whose eyes had turned red.

Zuo Qingqing’s face was written with despair.

Guo Yuqing painfully straightened his body and slowly raised the machetes in his hands. Unbelievably, the tough fighting spirit once again surged out of his broken body. At this moment, he seemed to have returned to his best time.

“When I rush out, you follow me closely within three meters. I… Eh?” Before Guo Yuqing could finish his words, he suddenly exclaimed in a low voice, and then the expression on his face suddenly froze.

“What’s wrong?” Zuo Qingqing’s heart had jumped to her throat.

Guo Yuqing did not answer.

He looked down at the piece of jade on his chest.

A ball of milky brilliance floated out from the jade piece. It came with a faint warmth. But that was enough to dispel the coldness of the darkest moment of this rainy night, which made Guo Yuqing feel unprecedentedly warm in that instant.

“He’s coming.”

“Ah?” Zuo Qingqing and Younger Liu were taken aback at the same time.

Guo Yuqing suddenly looked extremely relaxed, as though he had abruptly gotten the world off his back. He let out a long sigh. Zuo Qingqing keenly felt that the muscles of this bearded man she was supporting completely relaxed.

At the same time, the law enforcement team of the Tianyi Palace took action.

Like four flashes of lightning in the dark night, four figures broke through the rain curtain and hurtled over. The zooming shadows were exactly the Nanyi Heaven Sword Deployment, the killing move of the Tianyi Palace. It was the most suitable strike for group attacks.

In an instant, the sword shadows powerful enough to tear down a mountain bore down on the three people.

An insurmountable killing intent burst out.

For a moment, Zuo Qingqing and Younger Liu both felt the coming of death.

Guo Yuqing, on the other hand, made no response.

He couldn’t even be bothered to lift a finger.

Just when Zuo Qingqing and Younger Liu thought that they would die for sure, something strange happened.

In the rain, something flickered.

Then, the sword shadows powerful enough to tear down a mountain were instantly splintered like a bubble that had been pierced and then vanished. At the same time, the four experts of the law enforcement team froze on the spot and slumped forward. But before they fell to the ground, an even stranger thing happened—the four men melted into rainwater.

The three suddenly found that a tall and straight man was standing in front of them.

In the darkness, they couldn’t see his face clearly. They just felt that this man seemed to be one with the rain and the surroundings. He was giving off an indescribable sense of sharp oppression. Just by looking at this figure, it was as if a knife had pierced into their hearts.

“What a horrible man!”

Zuo Qingqing and Younger Liu were shocked. Instinctively, they made to attack the figure.

“Don’t move.”

Guo Yuqing warned them.

The two were stunned.

At this moment, the figure who had popped out from nowhere suddenly burst out laughing.

Guo Yuqing also laughed.

The two of them kept laughing for no reason. Then, they each stretched out their fists and punched each other on the shoulder.

“Let’s kill our way out first,” the slender figure said.

Guo Yuqing nodded and said, “You lead the way. I’ll bring up the rear.”

In this instant, the man who had almost reached the limit of both his willpower and physical strength released a burst of incredible momentum and rose to his prime. They could all feel the excitement generated from his soul.

On the opposite side.

Dozens of black figures approached. The elite masters of the law enforcement team of the Tianyi Palace were like predators hunting in the dark night. Their killing intent disrupted the rain and contorted the air. In the distance, layers of tactical deployment were being set up. This place had been locked down and become a prison.

Far away, a flying shuttle tore through the air and arrived.

Standing at the front of the luxurious flying shuttle, Mu Shun was like a god that controlled everything. He sneered as he looked down on the grounds.

The situation became increasingly direr.

“Oh, almost forgot it. Take these first.”

The tall and slender figure was unusually calm, as though he didn’t regard these horrible enemies as a threat at all. He flipped his hand and flicked his fingers. Three green pills the size of a longan shot out and respectively landed in the hand of Guo Yuqing, Zuo Qingqing, and Younger Liu.

Guo Yuqing didn’t even look at the pill before he swallowed it.

“The Resurrection Elixir?” Zuo Qingqing cried out in surprise when she took a look at it.

The elixir, which was said to be able to bring the dying back to life, was invented by the Elixir Sect in the Ziwei Star Zone. It was highly famous in the entire universe. It could heal a mauled warrior who was breathing his last breath in an instant. The price of one such elixir was 100 silver-colored fairy crystals. It could be said to be a sky-high price. But once one had this elixir, one basically had a second chance to live.

But the stranger just gave each of them such a precious elixir as if it were no big deal, didn’t he?

Who on earth was this man? How could he be so generous!

Zuo Qingqing was extremely curious.
