Chapter 90: Fugitive Ambush

  As he walked up to Lan Youzhu, He Lianuo suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned around to look at this beautiful woman who had once helped him dress his wounds. He Lianuo's heart couldn't help but fluctuate a bit, although Lan Youzhu was from the Blood Refining Tower, although she also called him "pig" with everyone else, although she was the wife of Qian Huan Gongzi, the mastermind behind the Ghost Refining Hell, yet for some reason, in He Lianuo's eyes, there was something about Lan Youzhu that was different from all the others in the Blood Refining Tower.

  Seeing Helian Nuo staring blankly at herself, Lan Youzhu was slightly taken aback and then said in a low voice: "Congratulations to you, I knew all along that you would definitely make it to the end! Hurry up and go to the viewing platform to receive your reward!"

  He Lian Nuo smiled and took a step forward, passing by Lan You Zhu. In that instant, he said in a low voice that only the two of them could hear: "If we have another chance to meet again, I will definitely help you get rid of that man you don't like!"

  Watching Helian'nuo's slowly disappearing back, Lanyou Zhu smiled and shook her head. Although she was a bit surprised that the other party had seen through her mind, she didn't put Helian'nuo's words to heart after all. In her opinion, what could a child of only ten years old understand about likes and dislikes? Moreover, when they meet again, he will probably still be fighting for his life in this arena! Where does he have the ability to help change her fate?

  He Lian was the first to climb up the ladder, followed closely by Luo Tian and others. The four-hour rest had been enough for everyone to replenish their depleted soul power, and with the miraculous healing effect of the Soul Origin Sacred Fruit, the injuries on everyone's bodies had also recovered somewhat. According to Ling Xiao's special order, Ling Yun also got the opportunity to go on stage to receive an award. At this moment, he was being carried by Lei Shuo, who had the greatest strength. The little wolf walked at the end of the team, although it had been hit by the light needle made by Wan Lian Zhi Lin before, but the recovery ability of the sacred beast was amazing after all. At this moment, it was already jumping around and didn't look like it had been injured at all.

  The ladder connecting the arena to the stands was amazingly long, and Helianuo and others climbed for a while before finally reaching the top. The fully armed soldiers saw that everyone had arrived at the stands and hurriedly surrounded them to take away their weapons. Helianuo obediently handed over his own Tianlang dagger and carefully observed the situation on the stands.

  A large viewing platform had already removed more than half of the seats, and more than half of the audience who watched the game before had left. On a large empty space, a huge statue was placed there, carving an image of an old man with a kind face, the old man's left hand stroking his beard, right hand holding a paper fan, in a state of extreme leisure, presumably this is the Yunshen that Luo Tian mentioned before.

  Following the soldier's guidance, everyone walked quickly to the statue. The reward had not yet begun, but Ling Xiang came over with a spring breeze on his face. He seemed enthusiastic and proactively hugged Luo Tian, who was at the forefront, and whispered in his ear: "Luo Lao Da, this time the beast-fighting battle result really surprised me! You are indeed my Blood Refining Hell's irreplaceable pillar, don't worry, I will reward you well when we return!"

  Luo Tian also stiffly smiled and replied in a cold tone, "No need to thank me, this is what subordinates should do. No reward is necessary, I just hope that you, the city master, won't do anything that would make your subordinates lose heart!"

  Ling Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted, and he slightly tightened his grip on Luo Tian's arm, seemingly not expecting Ling Yun to speak so bluntly. After glancing around and seeing no one noticing them, a smile quickly reappeared on his face as he patted Luo Tian's shoulder. Ling Xiao walked back to Ling Yun's side, who had been placed in a chair by Lei Shuo. Seeing his younger brother approach with a smile, Ling Yun felt an inexplicable chill run down his spine, and the hands clasped together began to tremble slightly. Clearly, he still found it difficult to remain calm in front of his own flesh-and-blood brother.

  Ling Xiao smiled slightly, lowered his head and looked into Ling Yun's eyes, saying in a low voice: "Big brother, you're really amazing. What method did you use to make those few kids help you wholeheartedly? I have to say that after fighting with you for decades, there are still some areas where I can't compare to you! Just look at your current state, the courage to live on is already beyond my reach!"

  Lingyun let out a cold snort and spat a mouthful of saliva on the ground. Facing his brother, who was supposed to be his closest kin but now had become his arch-nemesis, he was struggling to control his emotions. He Lianuo, who was standing beside him, walked over and naturally blocked Lingyun's path, looking straight into Lingyun's eyes and saying in a low voice, "City Lord, the award ceremony is about to begin. I think you wouldn't want us to cause any trouble in front of so many people, would you?"

  Ling Xiao turned his head to look around, and found that the old man of the Zhang family had already been invited to sit on the chair in front of the statue. The others also sat down one after another, and it was clear that the award ceremony was about to begin. He glared fiercely at Helian Nuo, shook his sleeves, turned around and walked away with big strides.

  He let out a long breath, feeling that his palms had already sweated profusely. He was really worried that Lingyun would do something extreme in anger and disrupt the entire escape plan. Fortunately, he discovered it in time, otherwise the consequences would be unthinkable.

  Lan Youzhu didn't know when she had already climbed onto the viewing platform, seeing that almost all the preparations were completed. She lightly coughed and loudly announced: "The award ceremony is now beginning, please have Ling Xiao City Master lead your surviving piglets to the front of the statue, where the person in charge of this tower will grant you the rewards for this trial!"

  Ling Xiao's face lit up with joy, and he hastily took large strides to stand before the carved statue. This time, the gains from the beast fight would be extremely rich. Luo Tian and He Lian Nuo exchanged a glance, following closely behind him from a distance. The rest of the crowd dispersed behind the two, keeping a certain distance between them.

  The person in charge was a tall and thin man, seeing that everyone's attention was focused on him, he walked slowly to the front of the statue, facing the crowd and said loudly: "As you all know, the faith of our city, besides the Moon Goddess, also has the God of Fortune. We have always believed that it is the God of Fortune who is protecting us. So, before the official awards ceremony, let's all kneel down together and worship the God of Fortune!", as soon as he finished speaking, he turned around and knelt down on both knees in front of the huge statue, the rest of the people, except for the elder of the Zhang family, followed suit and knelt down, it seemed that this so-called God of Fortune was indeed in a special position in the city of Xingxing.

  As soon as they saw it, all the soldiers put down their weapons and knelt down piously to worship the god of fortune. Helian Nu's heart moved, and he swung his arm to nudge Luotian beside him. Luotian was slightly stunned, then understood, and the two pretended to bend down. After seeing everyone kneel down, Helian Nu suddenly straightened up and turned around, shouting loudly: "Lei Shuo, now is the time, hurry!!"

  "Mad Thunder Whirlwind Slash!", almost at the same time as Helianno shouted, Lei Shuo, who was at the back of the team, suddenly stood up, snatched a long spear from a soldier on the ground, and rapidly spun around, rushing towards that giant statue!

  "Protect with gold!", before others could react, Luo Tian's hands suddenly moved swiftly, in an instant, a huge golden barrier suddenly formed, enveloping everyone on their side outside of Lei Shuo. He Lian Nu saw that the barrier was complete and quickly grabbed Ling Xiao, who couldn't move, and rushed towards the direction where Lei Shuo was spinning!

  Sang Xiao and the four Han people who participated in the action were not slow, they all made the most of their own strength to kill the soldiers around them. In an instant, they killed the soldiers next to them, and Xiao Lang didn't forget to pick up He Lian's heavenly wolf dagger that had been taken away. Seeing the rest being blocked outside by Jin's guard, everyone quickly used all their strength and rushed in the direction of Lei Shuo's departure!

  "Looking for death!", the person in charge only reacted at this time, and it's not that he was not vigilant, but the fact is that the piglet had never escaped from the Blood Refining Tower before. With a huff, he glanced at Ling Xiang, who was also surprised with his mouth agape, and drew out the short sword from his waist, quickly chasing after Luo Tian and the others in the distance!

  Ling Xiao cursed a few sentences in his heart, beckoning several guards to follow behind the person in charge. For some reason, the elder of the Zhang family also followed.

  Seeing the dark mass of enemies closing in from behind, He Lian Nu hastened her pace. As long as they could reach the southeast corner of the watchtower before the others caught up, their plan would be halfway to success. According to Luo Tian's description, beneath the city wall at the southeast corner of the watchtower was a large river. Once they jumped in, the rapid current would naturally sweep them away quickly, and Jin's protection would prevent everyone from drowning.

  Of course, all of this is premised on reaching the southeast corner of the viewing platform before the enemy soldiers catch up! He Lianuo took a look at Lei Shuo, who had stopped spinning, and handed him over to a burly man, as the vanguard for this team to break through and clear a bloody path. Lei Shuo's mission was perfectly accomplished, and from now on, everything would depend on luck!

  The person in charge saw that Luo Tian and the others had approached the edge of the platform, and hastily pulled out his voice to shout loudly: "Archers! Stop them for me! Don't leave any survivors!"

  The bowmen who were chasing alongside heard this and immediately set up their bows and arrows to shoot from a distance, but almost all the arrowheads would be bounced off as soon as they touched that golden barrier, unable to cause any harm to the opponent.

  "Damn it!", Ling Xiao gritted his teeth. If Luo Tian and the others' jailbreak was successful today, then his position as city lord would likely be in jeopardy. Although he was the true ruler of this city, he still had to consider the face of the Blood Refining Tower!

  The person in charge saw that the pursuit was getting farther and farther away, and hastily turned his head to threaten Ling Xiao: "Ling Xiao, don't forget, apart from being the city master, you are also the hall master of our organization! With this kind of thing happening within your jurisdiction, the organization will absolutely not forgive you!"
