Chapter 123: Ambush on the Halfway Road (First Update)

  It takes two to tango.

  Just as the Wang family arrived at the ruins of Shunde Wine House, Yi Chi also happened to arrive at the West City Gate. Now, he only needs to leave this gate and head northwest for about 30,000 miles to reach the Demon Beast Forest. At that time, it will truly be a case of "the sky is high and the birds fly", and "the sea is wide and the fish jump". Even if the Wang family wants to find him, they may not be able to do so.

  Standing in an alley not far from the city gate, Yi Chi stretched out his head to look at the direction of the city gate. After confirming that no one was checking people leaving the city, he carefully walked out and headed towards the city gate.

  At this moment, Wang Yi just ordered an elder to lead a group of people to intercept Yichi. At that time, the elder was still on his way to the city gate.

  Of course, Yi Chi didn't know any of this; he just wanted to leave the city as soon as possible and get far away from all these troubles.

  Yi Chi walked out of the city gate as easily as anyone else, without any ambushes or interrogations that he had imagined. This made him wonder if he was just being paranoid, and perhaps the Wang family didn't even know about it yet.

  So, Yi Chi relaxed and headed in the direction of the Magic Beast Forest.

  ......

  Not long after Yi Chi left, the elder of the Wang family happened to arrive at the city gate with his men.

  The elder looked around but gained nothing.

  "Has he already left the city?" Yes, it's also been some time since that murderer left. Now he should have already left the city.

  He then led the crowd to the city gate and walked towards a guard who was guarding the gate.

  Since the murderer may have already left the city, these guards must have seen him. Just ask them and they will know whether the murderer has left the city or not.

  As soon as the people from the Wang family arrived at the city gate, they were discovered by everyone. In fact, no one in Shuntong City did not know the people from the Wang family, and it was even more eye-catching with an elder leading the team.

  The king's elder, ignoring those who were bowing and scraping, strode straight to one of the guards and said with an air of authority: "You, have you seen a young man in black robes leave the city? His clothes had strange beast patterns embroidered on them."

  The guard, after the initial fear, calmed down and, after hearing the elder's question, hurriedly tried to recall.

  Fortunately, there weren't many people who had gone out of the city with their skills, and even fewer were wearing black robes. Moreover, there was that strange magical beast pattern. All these clues added up, and it didn't take long for this guard to remember.

  He hastily and respectfully said: "I saw it, that person just left not long ago, only a short while ago, now I'm afraid he hasn't gone far yet!" After finishing speaking, he still forced a smile at the other party, but the smile was even uglier than crying, making Wang's family elder feel sick.

  He then waved his hand in disgust after getting the answer he wanted and dismissed the guard. He himself led the way, rushing out of the city gate towards the direction the guard had told him, hoping to catch up with the murderer. If he really caught the person, it would be a great achievement, and the Grand Elder would surely reward him greatly at that time.

  Thinking of this, he was overjoyed and wished he could catch up with the murderer immediately and take him down with one move.

  This time, he brought ten nine-star Douling with him, plus his own five-star Douwang, to take down someone whose strength was around three-star Douwang, it was simply too easy.

  ......

  On the one hand, the Wang family elder was leading his men in pursuit of Yi Chi's direction, while on the other hand, Yi Chi had long since started his own vehicle and was speeding away at top speed. The speeds of the two were almost identical, but the distance between them remained constant.

  Yi Chi didn't know that someone was chasing after him, he just wanted to rush to the Beast Forest as soon as possible. To be honest, after leaving Shuntong City, Yi Chi's tense mood had completely relaxed. If he were still in the city, Yi Chi would have been afraid of the royal family, after all, it was their territory. But now, he was already hundreds of kilometers away from Shuntong City, and if he wanted to run, they wouldn't be able to catch him. At most, he could find a place to hide in the Divine Country, Yi Chi didn't believe that the royal family had anyone who could identify the entrance to the Divine Country. Although it was a zero-tier divine country, an initial version of the divine country, but it wasn't something that a single Dou Huang like him could find the entrance to, otherwise, wouldn't it be a shame to the name of the Divine Country?

  It was with this trump card that Yi Chi felt confident and carefree, even humming a tune in the car, feeling quite pleased.

  ......

  After running for nearly two hours, Yi Chi's stomach was growling with hunger. Thinking about the time, it was also around lunchtime now. Although it's said that the higher one's strength, the lower their demand for food, Yi Chi didn't think so. Eating was always something he enjoyed, savoring delicious food was one of life's greatest pleasures. If he were in training, then not eating would be fine, but now they were just rushing along, how could he not eat?

  As for the royal family, Yi Chi was not afraid of them at all. As long as they didn't make a big fuss, even if the Emperor came, he could just hide in the Divine Kingdom and nothing would happen. Although it was a bit embarrassing to do so, sometimes there was no other choice. This wasn't called strategic retreat or anything, it was different from running away with one's tail between one's legs.

  So, Yi Chi stopped the car and got out.

  He immediately put the car away, after all, it was his own secret, and he wouldn't let anyone know if he didn't have to. Did he really want to explain what this car was all about? That would be a hassle! If strangers saw it, they could just kill them off and consider it a matter of national security. But what about people he knew? What about those he couldn't defeat himself? Did he think everyone in the world was an idiot? Would anyone believe whatever he said? He'd end up being the fool instead. So, Yi Chi usually just stopped and put it away immediately, never letting it appear in front of others in a stationary state. It wasn't easy to explain!

  After parking the car, Yi Chi found a spot nearby, which happened to be under a giant unknown plant. With a wave of his hand, a complete set of barbecue utensils appeared on the ground, along with tables, chairs and tableware.

  All of this was exchanged by Yi Chi for dining in the Monster Forest, and it didn't cost much energy points. The whole set only cost 3000 energy points. It's ridiculously cheap compared to those things that cost tens of millions, not even worth a corner of those high-end goods.

  After putting away the utensils, Yi Chi released a Flame Rabbit from the Divine Realm. This semi-magical creature could spit out small flames, but it couldn't hurt anyone. Even an ordinary person with some tools could catch it. Moreover, its meat was extremely delicious and abundant, making it one of the most popular foods among common households due to its affordability.

  In the divine nation of Yi Chi, there were more than a dozen of them being raised. They had been purchased in a small town on the road, and it only cost him a few silvers. As for the taste, Yi Chi had tried one before, and he felt that it was quite good. Of course, it couldn't be compared to those high-end foods, but those were made from the meat of magical beasts. Yi Chi's divine nation couldn't withstand the ravages of magical beasts, so for now, he could only raise these half-magical beasts that didn't have much killing power. They had to be gentle in nature, such as the Blazing Rabbit, which was the best choice. The taste was good, and the temperament was gentle, perfectly meeting Yi Chi's requirements. Therefore, he bought thirteen of them.

  That fierce fire rabbit, once released by Yi Chi, rushed towards Yi Chi and spat out a small flame. However, it seemed that the distance between them was a bit too far, so the flame fell halfway and ended up scorching a poor little blade of grass.

  Yi Chi was left crying and laughing at the same time, one hand grasping that little guy. Actually, the distance was just about an arm's length, but this Lava Rabbit's flames were really too weak, not even able to spray that far.

  Yi Chi smiled and scratched the little guy's ear, saying: "Little rabbit, today's lunch is up to you, so make a glorious sacrifice."

  After finishing speaking, he didn't care about Lie Huo Tu's struggles. Yi Chi's arm shook and a flame of energy directly entered Lie Huo Tu's body through his arm. At this moment, Yi Chi heard the sound of breaking air in his ears.

  He stopped the action in his hand, looked at the direction where the broken air sound came from, turned to put away the fierce fire rabbit and tools around him, and looked seriously in that direction.

  At this time, the sound of breaking through the air was getting closer and closer.

  Yi Chi glanced around and snorted coldly, saying: "It seems that you've finally found me! Have you finally arrived?"

  Just as Yi Chi's voice had barely fallen, eleven figures flashed out from that direction and stood before him.

  The two parties exchanged a glance, and among the eleven people, some even took on a defensive posture.

  These people were the Wang family elders who had been chasing after Yi Chi all along.
