Chapter 28: People Flee At The Sight Of Trouble! (2/2)

As such, the four of them left Martial Hall Palace together.

”It's been half a month since I first entered Martial Hall Palace. Finally, a chance for me to have a breath of fresh air!” Xiang Shaoyun was secretly delighted.

Martial Hall Palace was situated right in the middle of Wu Town. The moment they walked out of Martial Hall Palace, they were on Wu Town's main road. They needed to exit Wu Town before journeying another two days south before being able to reach Hundred Beast Mountain Range.

The four of them were equally anxious, and they very quickly exited Wu Town's central hub. At this point, Mo Buhui retrieved a separate map and let Xiang Shaoyun and Lu Xiaoqing briefly view it. This was essentially proving to the both of them that he and Mei Lianhua were being completely sincere and weren't holding anything back.

Xiang Shaoyun swiftly recorded the map deep within his mind. At that moment, Xiang Shaoyun suddenly felt as though he was being watched.

”s.h.i.+t. We were overly excited just now and forgot to take note of our surroundings. Could it be those two b.a.s.t.a.r.ds have found my tracks? Impossible. This area is far away from their sphere of influence; they should not be able to find me within a year! Could it be someone else?” Xiang Shaoyun pondered to himself. The moment he noticed he was being watched, several shadows started popping up from everywhere.

These people were all carrying their own weapons, and their faces were covered, making it difficult to determine their ident.i.ties. Xiang Shaoyun's group of four was instantly alerted.

Mo Buhui sternly asked, ”Who are you?! We are disciples of Martial Hall Palace!”

Within Wu Town, Martial Hall Palace was considered a rather powerful ent.i.ty. Few groups of people would dare provoke Martial Hall Palace, save a few such as the Wu Family. However, they had actually been surrounded by this group of masked people.

”This brat stays. The rest of you, get lost!” the leader of the masked men bellowed, pointing at Xiang Shaoyun.

Needless to say, this group of people had come here specifically for Xiang Shaoyun.

”What the h.e.l.l do you want to do to him?! He's also a disciple of Martial Hall Palace!” Mei Lianhua shrieked.

”If you don't get lost, I'll kill the rest of you as well. Your Martial Hall Palace won't be able to easily figure out who we are anyway,” the masked man said, his voice not masking his killing intent one bit.

At that moment, the aura of the Astral Realm started bearing down on them. Mei Lianhua, expression ugly, was forced into a retreat by this aura.

”You guys leave first. I'm their target; they won't hurt you,” Xiang Shaoyun calmly said.

He thought to himself, They're only at the Astral Realm! So they weren't sent by those two after all.

Hearing Xiang Shaoyun's words, Mo Buhui and Mei Lianhua both showed signs of backing out. Although they were not weak, in front of an Astral Realm expert, they had no ability to resist whatsoever.

”No! We just agreed that we must help one another! If they're targeting you, they're targeting all of us!” Lu Xiaoqing's delicate face flashed an expression of pure resolution.

”Heh heh, this little girl doesn't know how to appreciate good things! We can always take you back and have fun together,” the leader lasciviously said as he licked his lips.

Upon hearing his words, the other men sneered as they drew closer.

”Xiang Shaoyun, I can't help you anymore. This is your personal matter,” Mo Buhui quickly said before turning around to leave.

Pursing her jade-like lips, Mei Lianhua looked at Xiang Shaoyun with a difficult expression and sighed. ”Take care of yourself, Shaoyun.”

After she finished, she also left Xiang Shaoyun. Only Lu Xiaoqing drew closer to Xiang Shaoyun. He watched on as they left, his expression unchanging. He had experienced something similar, after all. People fled at the sight of trouble; only then would one realize who one's true friends were.

”You can leave, but you cannot go back to Martial Hall Palace. Otherwise, we'll kill you on the spot!” the masked man harshly warned the Mei Lianhua and Mo Buhui.
