Chapter 90: Being Chased!

  "How did we come all the way without seeing those people from Zhen Nan Wang? It's not right, they killed his son, doesn't he want to avenge him?" The man in black furrowed his brow, he had already walked back and forth for quite a distance.

  "Brother Lion Eagle, have you found those people from Zhen Nan Wang?" the man in black asked. In this high altitude, in terms of eyesight, the man in black was definitely no match for Lion Eagle.

  The lion eagle shook its head and continued to fly. As for the man in black, the lion eagle was indifferent. The man in black naturally did not dare to offend the lion eagle, not to mention that if the lion eagle were to throw him down, he would definitely die a terrible death.

  The man in black looked at the fork in the road below, "That Town South King won't be stupid enough to choose the wrong path, right? In a small dynasty where one can cultivate to the King Extreme Realm, it's impossible for someone to be that stupid. No way, I have to follow this path and take a look!"

  The Griffin merely looked at the man in black with dissatisfaction, and after the man in black promised a lot of benefits, it spread its wings and took off. The man in black rode on the Griffin's back, flying over to the road that Xiao Zhen had chosen.

  "Ah..."

  The Griffin let out a cry, and Xiao Zhen also raised his head. He saw the Griffin in the sky, and the Griffin also saw him. Xiao Zhen was puzzled, staring at the Griffin as it flew towards him.

  "Are you the King of Zhen Nan?" The lion eagle carrying the man in black stopped in mid-air before Xiao Zhen. The man in black had already covered his face with a black cloth, after all, Xiao Zhen had seen his true appearance before.

  "This king is indeed, but who are you again? What business do you have with this king, hiding your head and showing your tail?" Xiao Zhen said in a deep voice.

  "Who I am is none of your concern, I only ask you one question: are you chasing after three youngsters? Two who look like they're thirteen or fourteen years old and one who looks like he's seventeen or eighteen, is that right?" the man in black asked.

  Xiao Zhen looked at the man in black again, "I don't know who you are. This king is indeed chasing after three people, but what does that have to do with you?"

  "I just want to tell you, sir, that the direction you're heading is wrong. They've already fled to the Southern Bandit Kingdom, and even if you continue chasing like this, you won't catch up with them even by next year." The man in black sneered.

  Xiao Zhen's face turned red, he felt that the eyes of the guards around him had become strange. He glared at those guards and looked back at the man in black again.

  "You don't even dare to show your true face, how can I trust you?" Xiao Zhen said.

  "I have a grudge against those three people, but I'm not good at taking direct action. As for you, whether you believe it or not, they didn't kill my son anyway!" The man in black said indifferently.

  "YOU!" Xiao Zhen furiously glared at the black-robed man, and if he wasn't riding on a lion-eagle, he would have definitely struck him down.

  "That's all I have to say, believe it or not!" Seeing Xiao Zhen getting angry, the black-clothed man also mounted the lion-eagle and flew up high. It's better to be cautious when dealing with a martial artist of Wang Ji's level.

  "Hmph!" Xiao Zhen let out a cold snort, having chased for so long, he himself had begun to doubt. Adding the words of this black-clad man, he also knew that he had really gone in the wrong direction. "Follow me, quickly!"

  Xiao Zhen changed direction, and those guards naturally followed suit. They didn't have the Lion Eagle Riders, Xiao Zhen wanted their lives as easily as turning his palm. This was also because Xiao Zhen had chosen wrongly, if it were these guards who chose, Xiao Zhen would definitely have hacked them to death.

  The man in black looked at Xiao Zhen, who was turning around, and also sneered, "This Town South King is good-looking, but not too stupid. Shangguan Yu? This time you will definitely die without a place to bury!"

  "Ah, damn it!"

  Shangguan Yu let out a sneeze, "Who's mentioning me?"

  Qin Shou turned his head and glanced at Shangguan Yu, "Little Yu, I think that Town South King should really be going in the wrong direction. Until now, there isn't even a ghostly shadow. How boring! If they catch up with us and let me have a big kill, it would be great."

  Shangguan Yu couldn't help but glance at Qin Shou, this kid was really asking for a beating. They had been rushing on the road for so long, and now it was already dark. Until now, they had only eaten one meal along the way, and hadn't rested anywhere.

  As for tonight, they didn't plan to rest either. The night is long and dreams are many, who knows, maybe when they wake up, they'll find that they've all been caught by the King of Southern Town. Now the King of Southern Town hasn't arrived yet, but who knows when he'll arrive?

  The bright moon hung high, illuminating the path ahead for Shangguan Yu and his two companions. The road was not difficult to walk on, as it was all grasslands, with the blades of grass swaying gently in the moonlight. A chorus of insect chirping erupted, breaking the silence of the deep night.

  In the middle of the night, the three of them finally stopped. They could hold out for one night, but the horses had run for so long that they were exhausted. Fortunately, this was a grassland, and they didn't have to worry about the horses not having anything to eat.

  Three people jumped down from horseback, took out some food and started eating. Shangguan Yu hastily finished his meal and began to cultivate again. Every battle gave him a little gain. For these gains, he naturally needed time to comprehend.

  Under the bright moonlight, Shangguan Yu danced with her Dragon Sword, and the sky was filled with sword shadows. Two dragons, one black and one white, swam around Shangguan Yu's body, but the grass on the ground suffered a disaster. Pieces of turf were directly blown up by Shangguan Yu, and those blades of grass also flew up into the air.

  It seemed that the golden dragon was not satisfied with the torture of these grasses, and it rushed out. The golden dragon flew over the ground, scraping up layer after layer of soil. The earthy smell filled the air, but the upper officials didn't care. He focused on dancing the swimming dragon spear, completely immersed in the practice of "Eight Trigrams Swimming Dragon Spear".

  Until Qin Shou shouted for Shangguan Yu to leave, Shangguan Yu finally stopped practicing. Shangguan Yu put away the You Long spear and rode on horseback, and the three set off again. Shangguan Yu looked back and felt that this time was too smooth.

  Shangguan Yu shook his head, perhaps he was thinking too much. A smooth departure is a good thing, why bother to disturb others? Shangguan Yu urged the horse's belly, and the horse quickly ran forward. After eating for so long, the horse had also recovered a lot of physical strength.

  Only the three Shangguan Yu didn't know that above their heads, there was still a black-clothed person. The black-clothed person rode on a lion-eagle, gazing at the three Shangguan Yu, with waves of cold smiles rising on his face. The King of Zhen Nan had already gotten closer and closer to the three Shangguan Yu, believing that tomorrow he would definitely be able to catch up to them.

  The sky gradually brightened, the night had passed, and dawn had arrived. However, Shangguan Yu didn't have a single hint of sleepiness, according to his physical constitution, not to mention one night without sleep, even three days and nights without closing his eyes wouldn't be a big deal.

  Shangguan Yu didn't know why, but he always felt a sense of unease. And this uneasy feeling grew stronger and stronger, however, as they got farther and farther away from Nanman City, he gradually put down the unease in his heart.

  The scorching sun hung high, illuminating the entire land. Whether it was the three officials, Yu Sanren, or Xiao Zhen's large team, everyone was moving swiftly under the sunlight. Xiao Zhen gazed ahead, his eyes sharp as a hawk, "We should be catching up soon, right? Those three are definitely no match for my thousand-mile horse, and I've been riding day and night!"

  "Qin Shou, Shixiong, have you guys heard any sound?" Upper Official Yu tilted his head to listen carefully and asked the other two.

  Qin Shou squinted his eyes, while Zhu Shoucheng also perked up his ears. "Not good, it's the sound of horseshoes, maybe King Zhen Nan and his men are chasing after us." Zhu Shoucheng exclaimed in alarm.

  The three of them exchanged a glance, and then shifted their gaze to the rear. Qin Shou's eyes narrowed even further as he spoke up, "I see a large group of people rushing towards us, it seems that they are indeed the ones from Town South King!"

  "It's no good, let's hurry and run. If we just hold on a little longer, we can leave the territory of the Nanman Kingdom." Zhu Shoucheng slapped the horse's buttocks with force, and the horse also ran wildly. Upright Officer Yu and Qin Shou were the same, and the three of them knew the danger they were in now.

  On the other side, Xiao Zhen gazed forward, a cold glint flashing in his eyes. Xiao Zhen sneered coldly, "You three little beasts dare to kill my beloved son? I will make you beg for life and death!"

  "Those three little beasts are just ahead, charge with me! If you can't catch up to those three little beasts, go and accompany my beloved son in death!" Seeing that the three of them had sped up their running, Xiao Zhen also gritted his teeth.

  Xiao Zhen shouted, and the guards also urged their horses to gallop. Xiao Zhen's horse quality was far superior to the ones ridden by Shangguan Yu and his two companions. The distance between them grew shorter, and a triumphant smile had already appeared on Xiao Zhen's face.

  In the high air, the black-clothed man watched this chasing scene, and a cold smile also appeared at the corner of his mouth. "Shangguan Yu, I see how you're going to escape this time! Originally wanted to kill you personally, but unexpectedly there's a warrior with similar cultivation level as me by your side. However, now that you're in Wang Ji's hands, let's see how you can escape with your life!"

  "It's no good, they're going too fast, this broken-down horse of ours is really too slow. At this rate, they'll catch up with us in no time, what are we going to do?" Upper Official Yu said anxiously.

  "Both of you junior brothers, go ahead first, I'll help block them for a while!" said Zhu Shoucheng.

  "No way, Big Brother. If you don't leave, we won't either. How can we possibly abandon you and escape on our own?" Shangguan Yu directly vetoed, while Qin Shou also disagreed with Zhu Shoucheng's approach.

  "You three, don't even think about running away. You killed my beloved son. If I let you escape, how can I still have a face? I will chop your three insignificant lives into ten thousand pieces to comfort my son's spirit in heaven!"

  Xiao Zhen's voice reached the ears of Shangguan Yu and his two companions, causing their eardrums to vibrate. Shangguan Yu heard a rustling sound and turned around to see Xiao Zhen leaping into the air.

  When Shangguan Yu looked forward again, he found that Xiao Zhen was already standing in front of them. Xiao Zhen had a cold smile on his face as he looked at the three of Shangguan Yu, just like looking at fish meat on a chopping board. "You three little beasts, still don't dismount for this king?"
