Chapter 489 - You Are Di Jiu?
“Ah…” The man in gray exclaimed in surprise and immediately understood. Di Jiu wanted to go to the Shan Family.
He also realized that the young man in front of his eyes did not have a good temper. If he had been any slower, he would have been burnt by a fireball.
“Yes, yes…” the man in gray promptly said without the slightest hesitation, “The Shan Family is in Yu Ning, but they have a garrison in Honor Parade City…”
“What are you waiting for? Go to the Shan Family’s garrison in Honor Parade City.” Di Jiu kicked him and the man in gray stumbled before leading the way downstairs without any delay.
Di Jiu followed him and silently admired Shan Xiuqi. She had certainly run away from the Shan Family but dared to stay in Honor Parade City, where they had a garrison. She made use of the principle that the most dangerous place was the safest. However, she was still far from safe and could not stay for long.
…
Di Jiu stayed in a hotel far east of Honor Parade City, which was considered a border zone. The Shan Family’s garrison in Honor Parade City was located in the most bustling central zone.
Despite having one garrison, the Shan Family still had a big building in Honor Parade City that looked like an auction house from the outside.
There were actually only two floors in their building, but not all the floors were used. Most matters were handled in the first-floor hall, where they had previously held an auction.
Inside the first floor hall, seven people were sitting at the moment. A middle-aged man was sitting in the highest seat among them. One of his eyes was big and one was small, and the corners of his mouth were somewhat crooked.
When he was about to save Fei Yuelan, Di Jiu saw another young man hiding in the corner. Di Jiu knew he was the one who had warned him to escape, so he should be friends with Fei Yuelan. At the moment, the young man had a triple-edged bayonet and looked like he was going to sneak an attack on the two men in gray, who were prepared to torture Fei Yuelan.
Di Jiu shook his head. The young man’s strength seemed to be weaker than Fei Yuelan’s. It would be impossible for him to sneak an attack on those two men.
Di Jiu would not let him lose out now that he had met him.
Almost at the moment when the young man charged forward, Di Jiu’s two nomological blade flares struck between the eyebrows of the two men in gray.
“Pfft!” The young man rapidly stabbed one of the men with his triple-edged bayonet in the middle of the back.
He was stunned by this simple course of events. The other party did not resist at all, so he had succeeded. He very soon reacted and pulled out his triple-edged bayonet to stab the other man in gray in the middle of his back.
The two men in gray fell to the ground and did not make any more sounds.
“This is not right…” The young man subconsciously looked at the triple-edged bayonet in his hands and then looked at the two men in gray laying in a pool of blood. He found this a bit strange, as it had gone too smoothly. No matter how fast he was, they were unlikely not to react in time.
“Hu Huai… Why are you here?” Fei Yuelan wanted to tell Hu Huai to quickly leave but immediately saw the two men in gray that he had killed.
Hu Huai came back to his senses and hurriedly drew out a dagger to cut off the rope hanging her up.
“Hu Huai, how did you kill both of them? They’re very strong…” Fei Yuelan looked at Hu Huai in pleasant surprise.
She was a Yellow Tier warrior after all, yet when the men in gray had bound her up earlier, she had not had any ability to resist.
Hu Huai put away his dagger and promptly said, “Let’s leave quickly. I came from the underground garage. Let’s leave through there first.”
Fei Yuelan also came to realize that they should leave quickly at the moment. As for how Hu Huai had killed those two, maybe they had not noticed his sneak attack and had therefore been killed.
Di Jiu’s Spiritual Force scanned Fei Yuelan and the young man, who left, before he walked into the Shan Gamily’s garrison.
“Who are you?” When Di Jiu entered the hall, Shan Youzhi stared at him with a frown. Although their garrison was not heavily guarded, nobody dared to enter casually like him.
“You guys sent a few helpers to find me. I was worried it would be too tiring for you, so I took the initiative to come.” While he said that, he scanned the place with his Spiritual Force. After Fei Yuelan and the young man escaped, there were only five people in the hall.
He was not in a hurry to make a move. He planned to burn this place after Fei Yuelan and that young man left Honor Parade City. Thus, he set aside some time for them to escape.
“You’re Di Jiu?” Shan Youzhi stood up all of a sudden and pointed at Di Jiu, emitting strong killing intent.
Di Jiu had gone there alone and those who had gone to capture him were missing. Even an idiot would know what that meant.
…
Shan Xiuqi did not go far after leaving Honor Parade City. She once again stopped in her tracks.
She did not feel at ease leaving like this and was still hoping the Shan Family would not bother Di Jiu and would let him off.
However, she knew better than everyone else the Shan Family because she was part of it. She was certain that if she left like this, the members of her family would definitely not let Di Jiu off. It would be strange if Di Jiu would still survive after being captured by them.
She was the one who had invited Di Jiu to stay in the hotel, and he had been captured by the Shan Family because of her. If he was killed, how could she feel at ease?
This would not do, she had to go back.
Shan Xiuqi decided to go back and take Di Jiu away. If he was unwilling, she would knock him out and take him to another city.
Shan Xiuqi returned to the hotel as fast as she could. It was like she had thought. Di Jiu was not in the room anymore.
Shan Xiuqi hurriedly rushed to the front desk on the first floor and asked a staff member, “Can I ask where the guest staying in 523 went?”
“A man in gray took him away and he has not returned yet.” The staff member had seen Di Jiu and a man in gray leave.
Shan Xiuqi’s heart sank. She had been too slow.
