"Zhu Zi."

A soft call was made, and a waiter came to the side of the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper said softly, "Follow them, don't let them notice you, report back to me immediately if there's any movement."

"Yes!"

Zhu Zi responded, took off his apron, and stepped into the crowd in front of the tavern.

The shopkeeper watched the direction Jiang Chen and the others were leaving, a cold smile curled at the corner of his mouth: "Young man, you've offended too many people, unfortunately, those with you will have to be buried with you!"

Changyun Prefecture Domain Lord's Mansion.

Domain Lord Zhang Ming was in the reception hall meeting guests.

Zhang Ming sat in the main seat, on his left was an old man with a broken arm, on his right was a gray-robed elder.

"Domain Lord Zhang, may I know why you invited me here? If it's not urgent, I have other matters to attend to, and I won't be accompanying you!"

Bu Fuqi spoke solemnly, glancing fearfully at the gray-robed elder.

"Is Elder Bu here for that Jiang Chen boy?"

Zhang Ming spoke with a light smile.

Bu Fuqi was taken aback, his brow slightly furrowed: "What's this? Does Domain Lord Zhang have a connection with Jiang Chen?"

"No connection, but there is some hatred."

Zhang Ming smiled lightly, gesturing to the gray-robed elder: "This is Sun Xiang, Deputy Commander Sun, of the Hidden Guard of the Domain Lord's Mansion."

Bu Fuqi was startled upon hearing this.

In each of the thirty-two major domains, the Domain Lord's Mansion would have a team called the Hidden Guard, responsible for secretly protecting important personnel and handling matters that couldn't be publicly exposed. Once they took action, it represented the attitude of the Domain Lord's Mansion.

"Greetings, Deputy Commander Sun!"

Bu Fuqi stood up and made a one-handed salute.

"Elder Bu, frankly speaking, that Jiang Chen killed someone from my Domain Lord's Mansion. I came here because I received news from the teleportation array that Jiang Chen left Changlin Academy, and therefore I rushed over."

Sun Xiang spoke solemnly.

"What? Jiang Chen killed someone from the Domain Lord's Mansion?"

Bu Fuqi exclaimed in surprise, a look of astonishment appeared in his eyes.

Immediately, a feeling of ecstatic joy surged in Bu Fuqi's heart. Jiang Chen was sure to die, absolutely sure, since the Domain Lord's Mansion had even sent the Deputy Commander of the Hidden Guard, he definitely wouldn't be allowed to return to the academy.

"Indeed!"

Sun Xiang nodded firmly: "Although my Domain Lord's Mansion is not afraid of Changlin Academy, if they find out we killed Jiang Chen, it might cause some trouble. Hu Yiqiu isn't as simple as you think, so we need Elder Bu to help us maneuver a bit within the academy."

"Please speak, Deputy Commander Sun. As long as I, Bu Fuqi, can help, please feel free to command!"

Bu Fuqi spoke respectfully.

"Aren't they going to Hui City to investigate the Shangluo Family? I'll lead some people ahead..."

Sun Xiang softly revealed his plan.

Bu Fuqi nodded repeatedly, a gleam of delight in his eyes. This way, he could cleanse his suspicion thoroughly!

East Gate of Changyun Prefecture.

After leaving the tavern, Jiang Chen and the others strolled around casually, indeed buying a few clothes for Ouyang Ruoxue, and then slowly approached the East Gate.

"Let's go!"

Suddenly, Jiang Chen shouted lowly.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

Everyone's figures flashed, rushing out through the East Gate.

Swish!

A figure shot out rapidly from the crowd, pursuing through the East Gate.

"Blast!"

Seeing Jiang Chen and his group rushing into the forest outside the East Gate, Zhu Zi's face changed color, quickly took out a spherical bead from his space ring, and crushed it fiercely, before flashing into the forest.

This sphere served the same purpose as Jiang Chen and the others' identification tokens, allowing them to know each other's location.

Pingbu Qingyun Tavern.

The shopkeeper was sitting absentmindedly behind the counter.

Hmm?

Suddenly, the shopkeeper's brow furrowed slightly. He retrieved a spherical bead from his space ring and infused it with a thread of divine sense.

"East Gate direction? Not good!"

The shopkeeper's face changed color, his figure flashed as he rushed out of the tavern, the shopkeeper's call echoed within the tavern: "Da Jiang, go to the family to find the Second Elder, tell him the guests went out through the East Gate!"

Whiz!

A waiter's face changed color, hurriedly rushing out of the tavern, leaping towards the center of the city.

"What's going on?"

"The Second Elder's guests left, but didn't the Bu Family's Second Elder go to Changlin Academy to be an elder?"

"His guests, could they be those five youths from Changlin Academy?"

"Three core students, looks like the Bu Family's Second Elder wants to curry favor with them! The mentor of core students might very well be an Integration Path elder of Changlin Academy, maybe even the Dean or one of the Four Great Elders!"

The foodies were slightly taken aback, quietly discussing.

Forest outside the East Gate of Changyun Prefecture.

Jiang Chen and the others hid behind a giant tree, cautiously watching the direction of the East Gate.

Whiz!

A figure leaped rapidly from the front.

"It's the waiter."

Yun Tao spoke softly.

"Looks like the Bu Family has truly marked us!"

Jiang Chen said coldly: "We must get rid of him, otherwise, once the Bu Family's strongmen come, we won't be able to run!"

"I'll do it!"

Yun Tao's eyes flashed coldly as he quietly drew a large sword from his back.

Zhu Zi was merely a cultivator at the Divine Infant Realm Early Stage, Yun Tao was confident he could kill him with one strike.

Everyone remained silent, quietly waiting.

Whiz!

Zhu Zi's figure flashed overhead of the group.

Crash!

A yellowish-brown brilliance soared into the sky, a majestic Great Dao pressure weighed on Zhu Zi, and a sky-reaching giant sword appeared behind him.

"No!"

Feeling the Great Dao pressure from behind, Zhu Zi's expression changed dramatically, he exclaimed in surprise.

Slash!

A ripping sound echoed, the yellowish-brown giant sword pierced through Zhu Zi's body.

Thud!

A dull sound, Zhu Zi fell hard from the sky, landing heavily on the ground.

"This way!"

Jiang Chen called softly, jumping towards the south of the forest, the others promptly followed.

After crossing more than ten miles, they reached a giant tree with a diameter of ten meters, hiding amongst the dense foliage.

"Junior brother, let's return to the academy!"

Yun Tao spoke with concern.

The Bu Family had Integration Path experts. If such experts pursued them, escape would be impossible!

"We can't go back, at least I can't go back!"

Jiang Chen spoke solemnly: "The Bu Family must have Xhangyun Prefecture monitored right now. If we appear, we'll definitely be caught."

"This... Then how about taking the teleportation array from another city back?"

Yun Tao spoke softly.

"Senior brother, you think the Bu Family hasn't thought of this?"

Jiang Chen smiled bitterly: "The surrounding teleportation arrays of Changyun Prefecture are probably under the Bu Family's surveillance!"

"Would they dare to act within the city?"

Jian Cangqiong frowned and said.

"I don't know if they dare to act within the city, but entering the city gate won't be easy for us!"

Jiang Chen shook his head lightly.

"What should we do then?"

Yun Tao's brow furrowed tightly, as they seemed to be caught in a deadlock.
