94: Xie An's Runaway

Actually, the Chen Family had already prepared to leave Jiaolong City; the original plan was to head to Qianlong City once the Old Ancestor returned from the Lingtian Relic.

So, when Lu Feng asked Chen Xuanfeng to make preparations, Chen Xuanfeng quickly arranged everything.

Hundreds of large transport airships carried all the Chen Family members out of Jiaolong City under Lu Feng's escort. Lu Feng also notified Xie Yunzhou along the way.

He asked Xie Yunzhou to arrange a small legion to come and rendezvous.

Although Xie An had a fiery temper, he wasn't foolish. He waited, drinking in a restaurant opposite the Wang Family, until all the Chen Family disciples had left before taking out his long spear.

Looking at the Wang Family manor before him, he raised his long spear with both hands and unleashed a powerful strike, cleaving down. A spear aura several kilometers long split the entire Wang Family manor in two.

This spear strike contained all of Xie An's fury. If Wang Yonghua hadn't dragged his feet, Chen Yuan wouldn't have died. The situation for the Human Race's high-level figures was originally quite good, but with Chen Yuan's death, the situation immediately became grim.

Beast Occupied Territory.

Shadow Demon City.

When the Wang Family manor was attacked by Xie An, Wang Tianyou was meeting with Mu Ying in the Beast Occupied Territory.

Wang Tianyou was the Wang Family's strategist. Since he couldn't contact Jiaolong City from the Beast Occupied Territory, Wang Tianyou was currently unaware of what was happening in Jiaolong City.

After listening to Mu Ying's narration, Wang Tianyou remained silent, contemplating for a long time.

Finally, he spoke: "According to the Human Race's rules, Xun Xiuyuan's top reward in the Remains should go to Qianlong City because Qianlong City contributed the most this time."

Mu Ying hurriedly asked, "Are you sure?"

Wang Tianyou nodded: "That much is certain."

He thought for a moment and then asked, "Is Old Ancestor Chen Yuan of the Chen Family truly dead? He was practically invincible in the Shattering Void Realm."

Mu Ying nodded and said, "He is definitely dead. Most of his body was eaten by the Savage Bear."

Wang Tianyou continued to ponder: "In that case, the secondary important treasure from the Lingtian Relic will most likely be given to the Chen Family."

Mu Ying's eyes showed deep confusion: "That's highly unlikely. The Chen Family's Old Ancestor is dead, so they are no longer that important. How could such an important treasure be given to the Chen Family?"

Wang Tianyou understood the Human Race's high-level figures; they prioritized the overall situation and would very likely do this.

He explained: "The situation I described is highly probable. As long as the item enters Jiaolong City, it won't escape our grasp. I'm just worried that the neighboring Qianlong City will go to help the Chen Family."

Mu Ying immediately said after hearing this: "How about I lead people to attack Qianlong City, so they won't have time to bother with Jiaolong City's matters? And while we're at it, we can see what that treasure is and if we can get our hands on it."

Wang Tianyou's eyes lit up upon hearing this, and he nodded: "That's possible. It would be best if the Old Ancestor could go too, that way we can tie up both Shattering Void Realm experts from Qianlong City."

Mu Ying thought for a moment, nodded in agreement, and then went to report to the Old Ancestor.

Shadow Demon Ancestor listened to Mu Ying's plan and nodded in agreement: "Do as you say, but change the target to that secret treasure of Qianlong City."

Mu Ying was momentarily stunned: "That would require an all-out assault to have a chance."

Shadow Demon Ancestor said: "I have my own arrangements. You quickly go and arrange the attack matters, the sooner the better."

Mu Ying quickly withdrew to make arrangements after hearing this.

Wang Yonghua flew above the Wang Family, seeing the manor utterly destroyed by Xie An's spear strike, and countless disciples dead or injured. He roared in extreme anger: "Old Bandit Xie, are you trying to fight our Wang Family to the death?"

Xie An looked at Wang Yonghua indifferently and said, "These dead and injured disciples will serve as funerary sacrifices for Brother Chen! Fight to the death? What are you? Do you have the capital to fight me to the death?"

After speaking, Xie An, holding the Space Rending Spear, struck directly at the Wang Family Ancestor.

The Space Rending Spear inherently possessed the Law of Space. The moment Xie An launched his spear from a great distance, the spear tip had already arrived before Wang Yonghua, as if space had been directly shortened, giving the illusion of extreme speed and irresistibility.

Wang Yonghua was also startled by this spear strike, a sense of danger rising straight to his heart.

He raised his longsword to block Xie An's spear. Due to being suppressed in various aspects such as weapons and cultivation realm, although Wang Yonghua blocked the spear, he was pushed back several hundred meters, his internal organs vibrating, making him extremely uncomfortable.

As Wang Yonghua steadied himself, he saw Xie An's second spear strike already arriving. While blocking, he shouted, "Brother Cui, let's join forces and quickly repel him."

Old Ancestor Cui, Cui Yuan, immediately appeared, looking at Xie An with grave eyes.

This fellow's combat power was truly getting stronger and stronger. He and Wang Yonghua were both late-stage Shattering Void Realm experts, and their combat power was similar.

While lamenting, he took out his weapon and attacked Xie An from the side.

When Xie An saw Old Ancestor Cui, Cui Yuan, he had already transmitted a message: "Brother Cui, this Wang Yonghua most likely colludes with the Shadow Demon. Please observe from the sidelines. After I severely injure him, I will definitely be able to get an answer. If I am wrong, I will certainly compensate you."

Xie An actually had unwavering faith in Xun Xiuyuan's words. When he sent the three back to Xie Nanqiao's courtyard, he was about to leave.

Xie An received a voice transmission in his ear from Xun Xiuyuan: "Old Ancestor, the Wang Family Ancestor is 99% colluding with the Shadow Demon. Be extremely careful when you go to Jiaolong City."

That's why Xie An's attacks were so ruthless at this moment, wanting to push Wang Yonghua to a desperate situation and expose his flaws.

Unexpectedly, after Cui Yuan heard Xie An's words, his movements didn't stop at all, and he replied, "Brother Xie, the matter of whether the Wang Family colludes with the Shadow Demon should be investigated slowly, don't rush it. If he's severely injured, and the Shadow Demon attacks the city, it will be troublesome."

Although the reason was very normal, Xie An always felt that something was off.

Seeing that he couldn't persuade Old Ancestor Cui, Xie An looked at the Space Rending Spear in his hand and thought to himself: Then I'll fight both of them together and see how much the Space Rending Spear boosts me.

With a loud roar, the long spear swung up, enveloping both Wang Yonghua and Cui Yuan in its spear shadows.

Because Xie An's realm was slightly higher and his weapon was better, he actually managed to put both of them on the defensive instantly, leaving them with only the power to parry.

Xie An's personality was inherently bold. Seeing that he was still gaining the upper hand in a one-versus-two fight, he immediately felt confident, and his broad and open spear techniques became even smoother.

Under Xie An's attack, Cui Yuan was fine, defending without much difficulty, but Wang Yonghua's situation was not so good. His body had already been pierced with several holes by the Space Rending Spear.

The Space Rending Spear was not like other weapons; the wounds pierced by it were ravaged by the Law of Space, making them very difficult to heal.

Wang Yonghua helplessly shouted to Cui Yuan, "Old Cui! If you don't exert more effort, I really can't hold on!"

Seeing Wang Yonghua's miserable state, Cui Yuan also felt very suppressed. How could such a small wound bleed so profusely?

However, seeing that Wang Yonghua didn't seem to be faking it, he immediately burst forth with his full power, attacking Xie An.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yonghua also directly erupted, counterattacking Xie An.

Finally, the battle between the two sides fell into a stalemate. After a long and arduous fight, Xie An's body also gradually began to show injuries.

However, the most miserable was still Wang Yonghua, because eighty percent of Xie An's attacks were directed at him. Cui Yuan's clothes were clean and he was unharmed, while Wang Yonghua was dressed in rags and covered in wounds.

Just as Xie An was about to launch a continuous attack in one go, Ling Jun appeared above Jiaolong City.

He stood in the middle of the three intensely fighting individuals.

"Old Xie! You've lost your mind, haven't you? Qianlong City is being attacked by the Shadow Demon. Lu Feng even asked me for help! A hundred fortresses were instantly occupied by the Shadow Demon, and now the Shadow Demon has already reached the foot of Qianlong City. And you're still fighting amongst yourselves here?"
