Chapter 354: Invitation from the Military

"Damn it, we've been fooled. This ring is a fake. Yunshan just ran away a short distance. Let's go and catch him back." Zeng Jing angrily threw the ring in his hand to the ground and said to others.

"Wait, you said it's a fake, so it is a fake. How do we know that you didn't swap the ring with another one?" Xu Hu stared at him with undisguised suspicion.

"It's already this late, and you're still here doubting me. If we don't chase him now, we'll never be able to catch up." Zeng Jing said angrily and anxiously.

“I’m afraid that when we catch up with him, you will run away with the real space ring?” Xu Hu looked at him coldly.

"Everyone look over there, the minerals, medicinal herbs and various rare treasures that we collected are now missing. Those things were still there this morning. From morning till now, they have never left your sight. So where do you think those things have gone?" Zeng Jing said, pointing to the cave next to him.

Seeing the other people's suspicious eyes, Zeng Jing said bitterly, "If Yunshan runs to Mr. Ning Qi's side, no matter how many people we have, we will not be their match."

"If you don't want to waste time, let us search you to prove your innocence. Anyway, if we can't find the real space ring, we will assume that you have embezzled it." Xu Hu said with narrowed eyes.

"Hurry up, come on." Zeng Jingyi raised his arm and said.

Xu Hu and others searched Zeng Jing from the soles of his feet to the back of his head, not leaving out a single hair, but found nothing. They finally believed Zeng Jing's words.

"What should we do now? Which way should we chase?" someone asked.

"Follow me." Zeng Jing called out and was the first to leave the cave.

After chasing for about ten miles, one of Xu Hu's brothers pointed to a forest and said, "Brother Xu, he's there."

"Yunshan, you stole the treasures we collected, hand them over now!" Zeng Jing, Xu Hu and others surrounded Yunshan angrily.

Yunshan showed a mocking look on his face, "When you were planning to steal the space ring, you didn't expect that your things would be lost, right?"

"Yunshan, you can't say that. The space ring in your hand belongs to the Gong family. We were all sent by the Gong family. It's natural for us to use it. It can't be considered stealing." Xu Hu said with a sneer.

The others all nodded in agreement, without mentioning that they were planning to steal the space ring and flee.

"You dare to call yourself a member of the Gong family? I have the Gong family token in my hand. If you dare to attack me, it would be a rebellion." Yunshan said with narrowed eyes.

"Hmph, who knows where you got that token? Hand over the real space ring quickly, otherwise, don't blame us for being rude." Xu Hu said coldly.

"The ring is here. It depends on your ability." Yunshan turned a silver ring on his hand twice and put it on his ring finger neatly.

"Everyone, come together and get the ring back." Xu Hu encouraged his accomplices.

Xu Hu, Zeng Jing and others formed a circle and trapped Yunshan there.

Ning Qingyun and others rested for a while near the Fire Python's territory. After Ning Qingyun recovered some of his strength, they planned to rush back to the tree hole in the Dead Wood Bird's territory.

After returning to the tree hole, you can bandage your wounds and recuperate.

On the way back, they heard a burst of fighting sounds, and it seemed that someone was fighting ahead.

This is the shortest way back, there is no other way.

"Just go straight and don't mind other people's business." Ning Qingyun said to Zhang Shouyi who was leading the way in front.

Zhang Shouyi nodded in agreement.

Ning Qingyun didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but when they saw their group appear, the two sides that were fighting stopped.

Xu Hu stomped his feet unwillingly. They had already stabbed Yunshan with a sword and knocked him to the ground. They were about to kill him, but Ning Qingyun and the others happened to pass by.

Although Ning Qingyun seems to dislike Yunshan now, everyone in the capital knows that Yunshan is Ning Qingyun's man, so they have to take Ning Qingyun's attitude into consideration.

Yunshan, who was besieged by eight people, fell to the ground. His clothes were stained with blood and it was obvious that he was injured. When he saw Ning Qingyun appear, Yunshan's face showed a look of both nervousness and expectation.

Ning Qingyun just glanced in the direction of the battlefield and waved his hand to signal Zhang Shouyi to leave quickly and not stay.

"Brother Qingyun, I was wrong. I know I did wrong before. Please forgive me!" Yunshan saw Ning Qingyun was about to leave, so he struggled to get up and begged.

Ning Qingyun paused. When Yunshan was in the orphanage, he was often bullied by older kids because of his introverted personality and small size. Many times, Ning Qingyun had to knock down those older kids and rescue him. The scene now seemed somewhat similar, and even the name he used was the same one he used when he was a child.

But it's different after all.

Ning Qingyun ignored Yunshan's apology and pleas and left.

A flash of crystal tears appeared in Yunshan's eyes, and an expression that seemed to be both crying and laughing appeared on his face.

"Hahaha, it seems like Master Ning Qi really doesn't want him anymore. Tsk tsk tsk, look at his expression. There's an idiom called, 'a dog that has lost its home', that's what he looks like. Hahaha, brothers, there's nothing to worry about. Let's go together, get rid of him and take back the space ring." Xu Hu's face was filled with excitement.

At Xu Hu's call, a group of people rushed forward. Unfortunately, the excitement on their faces soon turned into fear. Yunshan swept his sword and the two people in the front were stabbed one after another. The wounds froze instantly and the two fell to the ground.

"His sword is a treasure!" Xu Hu looked at the sword in Yunshan's hand with a fanatical look on his face.

"Brothers, don't be afraid. He was just injured and then used a big move, so he must have consumed a lot of energy. Now he is at the end of his strength. Let's attack together." Xu Hu encouraged everyone.

However, no matter how eloquent Xu Hu was, with two corpses lying before their eyes, no one dared to step forward.

Yunshan looked at Xu Hu with a look of contempt and pity, then turned his head. Xu Hu felt a creepy feeling in his heart. Then he was furious and was about to teach him a lesson when he suddenly felt a pain in his back. He looked down and saw a long knife piercing his heart.

This is Zeng Jing’s long sword.

"You, you guys..." Xu Hu vomited blood and fell to the ground and died with his eyes wide open.

The entrance to the Yunwu Secret Realm, and even the area within a dozen miles, was surrounded by the army.

The exit of the Cloud Secret Realm is right at the entrance.

As soon as Ning Qingyun and his group appeared, they were surrounded by soldiers.

"Ning Qingyun, right? I'm the director of the Military Research Institute, a subordinate unit of the Central Military Department. Since the discovery of the Yunwu Secret Realm, more than ten thousand people have entered it. You are the first group to come out. I hope you can explain to us about the situation inside. Please come with us." A soldier in military uniform invited.
