C179 Strange old geezer
She only felt her entire body becoming tired as she sat on the ground paralyzed.
Seeing this, Zhang Tianxuan immediately crawled over to Su Xiaoyu's side.
Zhang Tianxuan looked at her worriedly. "Miss Su, are you alright?"
Su Xiaoyu shook her head helplessly: "We better hurry up and chase them. If Yang Hao uses another trick on them, we'll stop them halfway!"
Zhang Tianxuan nodded his head, and then helped Su Xiaoyu up, and then the three of them chased after Ying Ning and the rest.
"You're still too impulsive!" At this time, Chen Mei walked out from the shadows, and said unhappily to Yang Hao who was beside him.
Yang Hao watched the three of them as they left, a trace of pain on his face.
"Don't worry. Since I've promised you, I will absolutely not let them return to River Surge Sect!" Yang Hao said faintly.
"It's just a woman!"
Just as Chen Mei finished speaking, he turned his head and glared at him.
"You're not allowed to talk about her!" Yang Hao roared loudly at Chen Mei.
Looking at Yang Hao's face which was filled with hostility, Chen Mei snorted coldly, "Everyone is now like grasshoppers on the same string, both are prosperous and powerful, but both are injured!"
"I understand. As long as I can help you get what you want, you don't have to interfere in my affairs!" Yang Hao said with a gloomy expression.
"I hope you can keep your promise!" After Chen Mei finished speaking, he took out a whistle from his sleeves, and blew it fiercely.
Those people that Chen Mei had summoned with his whistle were all dressed in black, with a black mask covering their faces.
"My Lord!" They all knelt in front of Chen Mei and spoke with a respectful expression.
"Immediately order the different branches to set up ambushes on all the paths to the Ling-Xian Gate. They must stop Wu Lin, Lin Yuan and the rest!"
After the black-clothed men heard the silent command, they spoke to Chen Mei in unison, "We will obey master's orders."
"Go!" After everything was settled, Chen Mei waved his hand, signalling for them to leave.
After that, those dozens of men in black jumped up and disappeared without a trace in a short while.
Seeing that they had left, Yang Hao immediately pulled on Chen Mei's sleeves, his face tensing up.
"Why did you send out the shadow killer? Don't tell me you have to eliminate them by their roots! " Yang Hao said anxiously.
What he was worried about was Su Xiaoyu's consolation, the other people's life or death had nothing to do with him.
"Brother Yang, since you're not going to kill me, then I'll have to help you!" Chen Mei said snappily.
Yang Hao became anxious and shouted at Chen Mei: "If you dare touch even a single hair on Su Xiaoyu's head, I will never let you go!"
Chen Mei looked at his ferocious look and sneered, "Brother Yang, swords have no eyes, furthermore, she was the one who volunteered to be their partner, what does that have to do with me?"
Chen Mei deliberately acted like he was wronged and said that to Yang Hao.
Seeing his helpless look, Yang Hao couldn't help but feel resentment in his heart, and coldly flung his hand away.
"Don't force me to make all your crimes public!" Yang Hao said as he gnashed his teeth.
"Are you threatening me?" Hearing his words, Chen Mei could not help but sneer.
"But don't forget, you helped me hide everything!" After Chen Mei finished speaking, he started laughing loudly.
Then, he pretended to listen, patted Yang Hao's shoulders and said: "Brother Yang, you and I are friends at first sight, of course we wouldn't do something like this. "Don't worry, I definitely won't let anything happen to Miss Su."
Yang Hao did not pay attention to Chen Mei's words, "Look at the direction they escaped in, it seems to be to cross the mountain range in this area and rush to the Ling-Xian Gate."
Hearing Yang Hao's analysis, Chen Mei's mouth revealed a cold smile.
"Hehe ?" This is impossible, the nearby mountain ranges and forests are densely packed, and the closer we get to the summit, the more the world froze over, and before we could even touch the peak, we would freeze to death! "
Chen Mei did not believe that they had such tenacious willpower to cross the nearby mountains, and head towards the Ling-Xian Gate.
"You'd better tell your shadow killers not to act rashly!" Yang Hao coldly said to Chen Mei.
Ying Ning, Die Wu and the others brought Lin Yuan and escaped. Soon, Zhang Tianxuan, Wu Lin and the others caught up.
"Where are we going now?" Su Xiaoyu became anxious.
Since Yang Hao had already discovered their whereabouts, he definitely would not let this matter rest.
"Sigh, everyone is injured. Let's find a secluded place and heal up first." Ying Ning sighed helplessly as she spoke.
And then, the group continued to flee forward.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, they finally found a quiet place.
"Look, there's a cave there. Let's go into the cave and hide there first." Die Wu pointed to her left and front.
"That's all we can do now." Su Xiaoyu sighed.
Afterwards, the few of them walked towards the cave.
Just as they were about to enter the cave, they heard a shout coming from behind them.
"Hey, where are you guys from? Why are you seizing my cave?!" The man shouted at them.
They turned to see an old man with a white beard.
His clothes were tattered, and he had a slovenly look on his face.
"Who are you?" Wu Lin and Zhang Tianxuan blocked in front of them and looked at the old man with vigilance.
"You stinking brat Stinky girl are truly rude. You forcefully took my cave, yet you actually dare to speak to me in such a loud voice!" The old man immediately revealed a look of disappointment as she spoke to them.
Zhang Tianxuan could not help but frown, and then walked forward, "Old man, why do you think that this cave belongs to you?"
Hearing what Zhang Tianxuan said, the old man could not help but sneer.
"How can you not prove that my possessions are all in the cave!" The old man had his hands on his hips as he spoke with a domineering attitude.
"Follow me if you don't believe me!" The old man saw that Zhang Tianxuan was silent, so he crooked his finger at him and ran into the cave.
He didn't seem like a man in his late forties at all.
They looked at each other, then followed the old man into the cave.
The old man took out a fire piston from who knows where and lit up the cave. The originally pitch-black cave instantly lit up.
"Look, this is my pot, and this is my bed!" The old man pointed at his own items and introduced them to them one by one.
Hearing him say that, Zhang Tianxuan walked forward and cupped his hands to show a pious look, "Old man, I'm sorry, we didn't know that this cave belongs to you, so I have disturbed you a lot. But, seeing that our friend was injured, let us stay here for a while."
"Cut the crap with this old man. So what if he lived in this cave first? He didn't build this cave!" Ying Ning said snappily.
Hearing Ying Ning's words, the old man was so angry that her nose started smoking.
"This Stinky girl, you're quite pretty, why is your mouth so poisonous!" The old man said snappily.
Ying Ning rolled her eyes at him coldly, "Old man, we are going to stay in your cave, what do you want!"
The old man revealed an arrogant expression, "Let this old man teach you a lesson, Stinky girl!"
Just as the old man finished speaking, he leapt forward a few times, since he was already in front of Ying Ning.
Everyone present had a surprised look on their faces. They didn't expect him to be so agile. They didn't even have time to react.
"AHH!" Ying Ning could not help but exclaim in surprise. Unknowingly, the hairpin on her head had already landed in the old man's hand.
The old man waved Ying Ning's hairpin in his hand, "You dressed up really beautifully, why are you so rude!"
When Ying Ning heard the old man's sarcastic remarks, she was so angry that her face turned red and white.
"Smelly old man, if you dare make fun of me, then let's see how our Demon Cave Ying Ning will take care of you!"
Ying Ning said as she raised her sleeves and prepared to rush towards the old man, but Die Wu and Zhang Tianxuan who was by her side immediately stopped her.
"Aunt Ying Ning, you must not let your emotions get the better of you!" Die Wu tried to dissuade Ying Ning from falling into her ear.
"This old man looks no different from an ordinary person. However, based on his skills, he must have an extraordinary background." Zhang Tianxuan sized up the old man and said to himself.
"Little girl, I'll be taking this hairpin." The old man laughed.
"Old man, how about this. We'll give you money and you let us stay in this cave for a few more days. What do you think?"
Zhang Tianxuan said respectfully to the old man.
The old man was satisfied with Zhang Tianxuan's attitude, and nodded towards him.
"This is a good idea. I can use this money to exchange for some roasted chicken!" As he spoke, the old man stroked his beard.
"In that case, you agree?" Zhang Tianxuan said with a face full of joy.
"I only agreed to you on account of you being honest." The old man still had an arrogant expression on his face.
Looking at his proud attitude, Ying Ning felt a burst of anger in her heart. She muttered in a low voice, "Stinky old man, isn't that just a broken cave? "What's so great about that!"
Die Wu, who was at the side, heard Ying Ning's complaints, and could not help but pull on his sleeves: "Aunt Ying Ning, we are currently on both sides of the same coin, it's better not to be too flamboyant."
After Ying Ning heard Die Wu's persuasion, she finally managed to suppress the anger in her heart.
"Give me the money!" The old man spread his hands and said to Zhang Tianxuan.
Seeing his actions, Zhang Tianxuan took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and gave them to him.
"That's it? This is not enough for me to use as a toothpick! " The old man frowned and said unhappily.
