When Zi Changhe appeared, the masked men were greatly frightened and immediately tried to flee. Unfortunately for them, not a single one of them was able to leave. Zi Changhe was a late-stage Transformation Realm expert. He moved at a remarkable speed, and only flashes of his body could be seen before all the masked men were already dead.
After killing the masked men, Zi Changhe arrived before Xiang Shaoyun. He lifted Xiang Shaoyun and placed him on the elder wolf.
”Little White.” Xiang Shaoyun was still awake and did not forget Little White even as Zi Changhe was taking him away. Little White wasn't injured too badly so he directly hopped onto the elder wolf as well.
”Where did this brat come from? Get off me!” the elder wolf scolded.
”Howl!”
Suddenly, a tiger's roar escaped Little White's mouth. At that instant, the elder wolf sensed a peculiar aura of kings. The aura caused him to tremble, and he quickly shut his mouth in fear. When Zi Changhe saw Little White, he was somewhat astonished. ”Striped tiger cub?”
”Senior brother, s-stop bothering about Little White for now. Give me a healing pill. I'm hurting badly!” Xiang Shaoyun said. Zi Changhe did not hesitate and immediately fed Xiang Shaoyun a healing pill. Shortly after, they started their journey back to the Martial Hall Palace.
Zi Changhe brought Xiang Shaoyun straight toward his elder's estate. There, he allowed Xiang Shaoyun to sit down in meditation and heal. As for Zi Changhe, he stood guard nearby. Inwardly, he thought to himself, This kid sure is growing quickly. It has only been a month or so and he's already a first-stage Astral Realm cultivator. Looks like his trip to the Hundred Beast Mountain Range has been a bountiful one.
After about two hours, Xiang Shaoyun finally stopped meditating. He felt much better now.
”Thanks, senior brother, for your help!” Xiang Shaoyun thanked Zi Changhe gratefully.
”I'm your senior brother. Can I leave you there to die?” Zi Changhe said. He paused for a bit before continuing, ”I also need to thank Lu Xiaoqing. If it wasn't for that girl, I wouldn't have known what the Wu Clan did to you.”
”Lu Xiaoqing?” Xiang Shaoyun cried out in astonishment.
”Yeah, about a month ago, she told the eleventh elder about what had happened. Then, the eleventh elder managed to contact me. At that time, I paid the Wu Clan a visit, but they insisted that they hadn't done anything so there was nothing I could do. I eventually found out that all the people sent for you were dead. That was how I found out you had survived their hunt. Someone must have saved you, right?” Zi Changhe asked.
”Someone saved me? I don't think so?” Xiang Shaoyun muttered before proceeding to give Zi Changhe a rough description of what had happened that day. ”And that was how this young master escaped—with my wits. Do I even need to be rescued?”
Zi Changhe sank into a short silence before saying, ”No, someone must have helped you in secret. Otherwise, with the speed of those people, they would've been able to catch up with you.”
Xiang Shaoyun found Zi Changhe's argument logical, and a figure surfaced in his mind as he thought to himself, Is it him?
”Looks like you must have guessed who that person is. But I won't ask too much about your private affairs. Just make sure to be careful in everything you do. The Wu Clan is quite influential within Wu Town. Even I wouldn't dare to move casually against them. Try not to leave the Martial Hall Palace unless you have to,” Zi Changhe warned.
