Chapter 854 - Fleeing Calamity
Get a glimpse of "MMORPG: War God, You are Invincible Again" Chapter 854: Tian Shengwuâs question was immediately answered.The courtyard door was opened from the outside, but it... Continue the adventure now!
Tian Shengwuâs question was immediately answered.The courtyard door was opened from the outside, but it was not Lu Hong who entered; it was Yang Lin.
Seeing her father, Yang Xiuxiu hurriedly stood up, timidly standing to the side: "Dad..."
"Mm." Yang Lin simply replied, then walked straight to Song Qingyan and bowed, "Miss Song, please forgive my poor eyesight and inadequate hospitality."
Seeing Yang Lin bowing to her, Song Qingyan realized her identity had been exposed. Could it have been Lu Hong who told him?
Though puzzled, she replied, "Your Majesty King of Linâan, thereâs no need for such courtesy; Iâm living well here."
"Thatâs good. If Miss Song needs anything, just speak up, and I will do my utmost to fulfill your requirements."
Upon hearing this, Song Qingyan said, "Whereâs Lu Hong? Why didnât he come back with you?"
"Lu Hong accepted a task from my Yang family and has already left Linâan."
"Left Linâan?" Tian Shengwu didnât believe Yang Linâs words. If Lu Hong were to leave, he couldnât possibly not inform him. He immediately stood up and stared at Yang Lin, "Tell me! Where did my big brother go? He wouldnât leave without a word!"
In response, Yang Lin took out a letter from his chest and handed it to Tian Shengwu, "Find a place where no one is around and read it yourself."
Taking the letter, Tian Shengwu walked straight into a room, closed the door, and opened the envelope.
There was only one sentence written: "Iâve gotten myself into big trouble; you can completely trust Yang Lin."
This was indeed Lu Hongâs handwriting, ugly as ever.
Big trouble? What kind of trouble? Tian Shengwu had no idea what Lu Hong had done in the secret realm of Bai Sha. The only way to understand the situation now was probably through Yang Lin.
Leaving the room, Tian Shengwu looked troubled.
Yang Suxin approached with concern, "Whatâs wrong?"
Tian Shengwu shook his head slightly and walked to Yang Linâs side, "Iâll listen to you."
Upon hearing this, Yang Lin nodded, "Come with me to the study."
With that, Yang Lin bowed again to Song Qingyan, "Miss Song, I have to attend to some matters, farewell."
Tian Shengwu followed Yang Lin to the study.
After confirming all formations were activated, Yang Lin explained Lu Hongâs situation thoroughly.
After hearing Yang Linâs account, Tian Shengwu was dumbfounded.
His big brother was really this fierce?
Tore apart tens of thousands of prodigies, battled the Primordial God Master?
"In short, you shouldnât get involved in this, nor should you think of finding him. He chose to leave quietly so as not to implicate you, so donât let him down. Also, Linâan World is willing to make a permanent alliance with your Star Sea; your task is complete. Leave Linâan as soon as possible. As for Song Qingyan, donât trust her or get too close; the information about your big brother Lu Hong was likely transmitted by her."
Upon hearing Yang Linâs words, Tian Shengwu clenched his fist. This treacherous woman! So two-faced!
"I understand." Tian Shengwu took a deep breath and left the study.
Back at the Southern Courtyard, Tian Shengwu packed his things and dragged Yang Suxin, ready to leave.
At this moment, Song Qingyan, who walked out of the house, stopped him, "When will your brother Lu Hong return?"
"Return? Ha!" Tian Shengwu glared coldly at Song Qingyan, "Perhaps he will never come back."
"What do you mean?" Feeling Tian Shengwuâs hostility, Song Qingyan frowned. They were laughing and chatting during lunch; why the sudden change of face? Men are indeed as unpredictable as eels!
"You should ask yourself!" With that, Tian Shengwu pulled Yang Suxin and slammed the door on their way out.
Leaving Song Qingyan puzzled.
What on earth... happened?
Song Qingyan had no way of knowing.
After seven days of hurried travel, Lu Hong could no longer hold on and arrived at a small town.
As he was about to enter the town, he saw a notice at the town gates. It prominently featured his portrait along with a bounty of three billion yuan currency.
Damn!
Lu Hong cursed silently and immediately lowered his head.
Immediately, he stopped queuing and retreated far away from the town.
This time, he couldnât even enter the town. On the ancient roads, Spiritual Energy was scarce, leaving him with almost no supplies. What should he do?
Lu Hong swore, if given a chance, he would stockpile more Magic Potions for emergencies.
Before Lu Hong had walked far, several hidden auras suddenly flickered by.
If not for Lu Hongâs keen perception of Blood Qi, he might have missed them.
It seemed, at the town gate earlier, someone had recognized him.
Lu Hong remained calm and quietly slipped into a dense forest by the ancient road.
Soon, three figures landed at the entrance of the forest.
One of them spoke in a gloomy voice, "Big brother, should we keep pursuing?"
"Of course, three billion yuan currency is enough for us to live freely for a lifetime!"
With that, the three of them entered the forest.
But in the next second, sword light flashed, aiming viciously at one of their heads.
"Watch out!"
Instantly, Magic Power surged. These people reacted quickly; theyâre all seasoned fighters. How could they not be ready?
Lu Hongâs sword struck a protective shield, sparking fiercely.
The attacked trio immediately formed a circle to encircle Lu Hong.
Blood Qi Shockwave!
Lu Hong retaliated with a skill.
The explosive Blood Qi washed over the area.
Instead of backing off, the three advanced, releasing Magic Skills to counter the raging Blood Qi.
The clash of four forces led to continuous explosions.
Before the explosion ended, Lu Hong was already engaging the three in combat.
Suddenly, blades and swords flashed incessantly in the forest.
Although the trio was not weak, Lu Hongâs skills were superior, quickly wounding two of them.
The only one still standing was the head of the group.
"Itâs truly worth a three billion bounty; this time, we admit defeat. I hope you can spare us."
Hearing this, Lu Hong ceased his attack and spoke, "You want to kill me, but when you realize you canât, you expect a simple word to settle it?"
The leader knew it couldnât be that simple, so he said, "Name your conditions, and Iâll try my best to satisfy them."
"Hand over all your Magic Power recovery potions."
The leader didnât refuse this condition. He nodded and then took out a hundred bottles of Magic Potion from his Space Ring and his two companionsâ as well: "Here they all are. Can you let us go now?"
Upon receiving the Magic Potions, Lu Hong chuckled, "Do you think such a small amount of Magic Potions can buy your lives?"
The leader furrowed his brow, "What more do you want?"
"Go to the town and buy more Magic Potions, as many as possible." With that, Lu Hong tossed a large bag of yuan currency from his Space Ring to the leader, "Iâll keep your two brothers here. You go buy, come back, and Iâll release them. But remember, if you bring others, donât blame me for being ruthless."
The leader took the bag of yuan currency, nodded, and gave Lu Hong a deep look, "Remember your promise."
"Rest assured."
After receiving Lu Hongâs confirmation, the leader turned and left.
Soon, he returned again, and seeing no one else behind him, Lu Hong finally brought out the two brothers from hiding.
They exchanged the goods and the people.
Both parties were very satisfied.
Having acquired recovery Magic Potions, Lu Hong didnât linger and delved into the depths of the forest.
Watching Lu Hongâs departing figure, the three men regrouped.
"Boss, are we just going to let this go?" one brother said, clutching his broken arm in anger.
The leader looked at his brother, sighing, "If we canât beat him, then we canât. What else can we do?"
"We could sell the information to others. We canât just come back empty-handed, right?"
"You can go yourself," the leader said, staring at his brother, "but if you get into trouble because of it, donât expect me to help you out. Letâs head back to town now; thereâs still a chance to reattach your arm."
After learning there was a bounty on his head, Lu Hong dared not take the main roads and had to traverse the wilderness by the ancient roads.
As he moved away from the area once swept clean by the Yin Demon clan, the wilderness forests gradually filled with various powerful Demon Beasts.
These Demon Beasts all had one common trait: they are incredibly strong and heavily armored, but they lack any Magic Skills. This may be closely related to the thin Spiritual Energy within the ancient roads.
