Chapter 531: 531
Chen Yu pondered for a moment, then took out a cellphone from his person and stuffed it into Xiao Chun’s hands.
“Take this cellphone with you and lead the children to an open space outside the small town. Then dial this number, and someone will definitely come to pick you up within two hours.”
Xiao Chun hesitated briefly before handing the cellphone to an older boy next to her.
“You guys go quickly, don’t worry about me. I’ll stay behind to help big brother.”
The group of children was suddenly at a loss. Xiao Chun had become their pillar of support to some extent, and now they were reluctant to part ways all of a sudden.
However, the decisions made by Xiao Chun were almost always right. Her telling them to go now must have been after careful consideration.
The children exchanged glances without lingering and took the cellphone out of the yard.
After everyone left, Xiao Chun walked up to Chen Yu.
“Big brother, if I’m not mistaken, you must be planning to go to the Divine Eagle Sect. I escaped from there, and I can show you the way.”
Chen Yu furrowed his brows slightly. This little girl was a supernatural being who could see through everyone’s thoughts. However, he had just set up a magnetic field around his body, so even if the little girl’s powers were strong, she shouldn’t have been able to see through his thoughts.
“Did you guess this?”
Xiao Chun nodded obediently.
“Kind of. Very few people come to such a remote place, and since big brother has the same powers as I do, you’re definitely not here just to travel.”
Chen Yu patted Xiao Chun’s head gently.
“You’re very clever, but it wasn’t easy to escape from that place. Aren’t you scared to go back?”
Xiao Chun shook her head. “There was trouble within the Divine Eagle Sect. Several elders fought each other for the position of Sect Leader, and we took advantage of the chaos to escape.”
Excitement flickered in Chen Yu’s eyes. If that was the case, things would be much simpler.
“I’ve heard there’s a small town outside the Divine Eagle Sect, and it seems very difficult to get through.”
Xiao Chun covered her mouth and chuckled. “Actually, that’s just rumors from outside. As long as you cover your mouth and nose with ordinary licorice, you can get through that town.”
Without lingering, Chen Yu and Xiao Chun bought a great amount of licorice and headed straight towards the Divine Eagle Sect.
After leaving the small city, the two traveled along a rugged mountain road for an unknown amount of time until they finally saw a small town. They immediately put some licorice powder in their mouths and headed straight for the town.
“Stop right there, where are you from?”
At the outskirts of the town, in the drumming ground, a burly middle-aged man sat with a huge Wolf Fang Club in his hand, watching the approaching pair coldly.
Chen Yu’s expression remained unchanged as he walked straight up to him.
“We are tourists who got lost, and it’s getting dark. Could we possibly stay in your town for the night?”
The burly man narrowed his eyes warily as he regarded them.
“Lost? You dare to trespass without knowing what this place is? Let me give you a piece of advice: go back where you came from, or my Wolf Fang Club won’t be so welcoming!”
Chen Yu exhaled a turbid breath and in a flash, he was beside the man, one hand gripping his shoulder.
The formidable strength crushed the man’s shoulder blade into dust.
“If I’m not mistaken, besides you, there are twenty-seven people in this town! You actually don’t want to work for the Divine Eagle Sect, you’re just symbolically guarding here. Why be so serious? Turn a blind eye and let us in.”
The man’s eyes bulged in shock. Despite the Divine Eagle Sect’s higher-ups no longer caring, this place was still top-secret, and the number of guards and their specific positions changed daily.
But Chen Yu had only glanced at the town’s entrance and managed to state the exact number of people, highlighting his skill.
