Chapter 626: Chapter 47: Wusun Country
Chen Tang only knew the "Demon Planting Technique," but he didn’t know that failing to plant a demon with desire would have such a big impact on the Demon Planter.
So, seeing Luo Sha in such a state, he thought she was using the Charm Demon Technique to stall for time.
Chen Tang had noticed that Tie Falei, Yin Demon, and Death Demon were rushing over from a distance.
Even if he had reached the Extreme Realm of Third Grade cultivation, he still had no chance against a Grandmaster.
Chen Tang stopped entangling and went to the side of Thunder Leopard, ready to mount and escape.
Unexpectedly, Thunder Leopard kept dodging and kicking, not letting Chen Tang get on.
"What madness is this?"
Chen Tang was stunned.
Right when he’s being hunted, why is this horse quitting?
Thunder Leopard rolled its eyes, glanced at Luo Sha, and then looked sideways at Chen Tang, with a hint of mockery in its gaze.
Chen Tang suddenly understood.
Before this, he had teased Thunder Leopard, saying it had become mischievous, leaving affection everywhere, almost becoming a stud.
He even boasted, telling Thunder Leopard to learn from him how to remain composed in tempting situations.
It hadn’t been few days before he was proven wrong.
And Thunder Leopard had witnessed it all.
This creature remembered it and was mocking him now.
Chen Tang couldn’t help but pat Thunder Leopard, jokingly cursing, "Haven’t seen you for two years, and you’ve really learned some bad habits, even knowing how to hold grudges! Quick, run, they’re after us."
After speaking, Chen Tang mounted the horse, and Thunder Leopard let out a long scream.
One person and one horse sped away leaving a cloud of dust.
Luo Sha watched Chen Tang’s departing figure, sighing in her heart.
She knew, this silhouette would be forever engraved in her memory, becoming a part of her, never to be erased in this lifetime.
Tie Falei and Death Demon pursued for another half an hour, unable to close the distance.
Continuing the chase, after a few hours, the two would still be left behind by Thunder Leopard.
The two gradually slowed down and eventually stopped their pursuit.
"Hmph!"
Tie Falei looked displeased, glanced at Death Demon with a scowl, and said coldly, "In the end, he got away. If it weren’t for your interference, how could he escape my grasp!"
"You hold Master’s orders in such high regard, yet you still failed to complete the task assigned by Master."
After a long silence, Death Demon finally said, "I will bring him back."
Tie Falei sneered, "The world is so vast, where will you find him in this sea of people?"
Death Demon did not reply, but pointed in the direction of Beiqian.
At this moment, Chen Tang was forced to flee north, destination unknown.
This should just be a blinding technique.
He believed that Chen Tang would eventually return to Beiqian.
If he goes to Beiqian, he will definitely find the junior brother.
"Very well."
Tie Falei said plainly, "Then I will await your good news in Xiling."
-----------------
Tie Falei and Death Demon pursued from the east.
If Chen Tang continued to flee westward, he would only get further from Beiqian.
It’s better to head north, and after shaking them off, loop back east to return to Beiqian.
With a plan in mind, Chen Tang rode Thunder Leopard all the way north.
Fearing that Tie Falei and Death Demon would catch up, one person and one horse rarely rested, traveling by night and day.
After more than ten days, sure that he had shaken off Tie Falei and the others, the two slowed down, moving and stopping as they pleased.
On this morning, Chen Tang led Thunder Leopard to a stream to drink. ƒгeewebnovёl.com
He looked out into the distance.
He saw, at the west end of the sky, clouds churning, vaguely revealing the outline of a mountain range.
The rising morning sun dispersed the fog, unveiling a huge mountain range, vast like a dragon, towering and majestic, with snow-capped peaks that glistened like silver under the sunshine, resembling an Immortal Realm.
At the mountain’s summit, it seemed as if an Immortal Palace appeared, brilliantly radiating, extremely magnificent.
On the other side, Thunder Leopard suddenly became restless, grabbing Chen Tang’s sleeve and pulling him away.
Chen Tang felt a stirring within.
This might be Kunlun Mountain as mentioned by the Sword Sect, the forbidden land of these heavens and earth!
Back then, Emperor Wu had summoned all the Grandmasters under heaven to Kunlun to witness his battle with the Dao Sect!
Chen Tang made no stop, mounted Thunder Leopard, and continued on his way.
In no time, Chen Tang arrived at an exotic city-state.
He had traveled north all the way and had now left the boundaries of Xiling.
He only had a map of Xiling, not knowing where he was now.
Chen Tang intended to rest here briefly, gather some food supplies, and then head east.
Thunder Leopard was left outside the city casually, to roam freely, while Chen Tang entered the city alone.
Chen Tang arrived in front of a shop and bought a map, glancing over it.
Having traveled north, out of Xiling, for nearly a month, he found himself on the territory of Wusun Country.
This place was Chigu City of Wusun Country.
He didn’t know much about Wusun Country.
Earlier, Qingmu had mentioned, the old fat man Feng Xu was from Wusun Country.
Since parting at Pingzhou, he hadn’t seen the old man in almost three years.
He wondered how this elder was doing.
Looking back, in Changze County, the days spent with the old man and Qingmu were the most relaxed.
Although the old man was a First Grade Grandmaster, he had no airs of a Grandmaster and was quite adorable.
He didn’t even allow Chen Tang to call him an elder, just "old fat man."
Although the old man was from Wusun Country, Chen Tang had never thought he would meet him here.
After all, after they parted, there was no word of him.
The old fat man was unpredictable in his movements, no one knew where he had gone.
According to the map, the territory of Wusun Country was quite large.
Finding the old fat man was even more of a daunting task. freēwebnovel.com
In these times, even a simple separation could be a farewell forever.
"Young man, judging by your extraordinary demeanor, you must be a Martial World expert. I have information about a wanted criminal with a bounty. Ten taels of silver and it’s yours. Want to give it a try?"
Just then, the shopkeeper asked mysteriously.
Chen Tang shook his head with a smile.
Bounties were none of his concern, and he wasn’t interested.
Seeing Chen Tang was young and clearly an outsider, the shopkeeper, unwilling to miss out on this opportunity, quickly added, "Young man, though I’m selling it for a high price, if you really catch that wanted criminal, the reward is ten thousand taels of silver!"
"Wow!"
Chen Tang chuckled and said, "That criminal’s life is indeed valuable."
"Exactly,"
the shopkeeper said, "I heard he’s a Dark Scout from Liangzhou of Qian Country, not weak in cultivation, with a Fourth Grade Awakening Realm. The people who’ve hunted him down before have been killed twice!"
The shopkeeper seemed to realize he said too much, fearing he might scare Chen Tang off, he quickly reassured, "However, I heard the Dark Scout is already injured and won’t escape this time. It depends on whether the young hero can seize this opportunity."
Chen Tang shook his head with a smile, turned and left.
After walking a few steps, Chen Tang’s peripheral vision caught sight of a Sea Arrest Document posted on a nearby wall, with a man’s portrait drawn on it and some of his basic information written below.
Chen Tang slightly frowned, somewhat surprised.
"It’s him?"
After a moment of contemplation, Chen Tang returned to the shop, tossed ten taels of silver, and said, "Boss, I’ll buy that bounty information you mentioned earlier."
