"We were just following orders, creating a disturbance here to cover the leader's actions." Zu An used his Grandmaster-level pressure, and the group of people were terrified, so they confessed everything at once.
Zu An's heart skipped a beat: "Where is your leader?"
"He should have already infiltrated the camp," the men replied.
Zuan was both shocked and furious. He had seen the cultivation level of Scarface Yang Shen before. He was a master-level expert. Although he could not directly confront an army, it would not be too difficult for him to infiltrate the military camp.
Could it be that he still harbors ill intentions towards Xie Daoyun?
Or perhaps he harbored a desire for revenge; if he were to kill some officers, the Imperial Guards would suffer heavy losses.
He subdued the men and tossed them to the soldiers who had rushed to the scene to investigate. Then, he transformed into a blur and flew into the camp.
Just then, a blue light flashed in the center of the camp. It was the light of array runes, and it was a unique array pattern of Xie Daoyun.
He moved like a series of afterimages, arriving at the scene at top speed. He saw Xie Daoyun forming a hand seal, but it was shattered by Scarface Yang Shen's palm strike, and he grabbed her shoulder.
"Don't come any closer!"
Wang Bolin, Zhang Zijiang, and others also arrived with their soldiers upon hearing the news. Yang Shen realized that his actions had been exposed and hurriedly put a knife to Xie Daoyun's neck.
However, he was most wary of Zu An, so he deliberately used Xie Daoyun's body to block the two of them.
"Let her go!" Zu An said in a deep voice, while he was quite puzzled. What was Yang Shen up to? Why would he take such a big risk to come to the military camp to arrest Xie Daoyun?
Upon seeing Zu'an, Xie Daoyun's initial panic immediately subsided, and she said, "You can't escape. You might as well surrender as soon as possible and find a way out."
A ruthless glint flashed in Yang Shen's eyes, and the scar on his face became even more ferocious: "If I can't escape, so be it. I won't be lonely on the road to the Yellow Springs with a girl by my side. But this gentleman on the other side probably can't bear to see you die."
Upon hearing this, Xie Daoyun's face instantly turned bright red, and everyone present turned their gaze to Zu An, while their expressions lingered on the two of them with ambiguous intent.
Zu An frowned: "Release Miss Xie, and I'll spare your life today."
Yang Shen spat and said, "I don't trust you officials at all. Tell your men to get out of the way. I'll release her once I'm gone safely."
Zu'an naturally didn't believe him and said calmly, "You think I can't do anything to you like this?"
"I admit your cultivation is unfathomable, but at this close range, you can't possibly be as fast as my blade." Yang Shen said this with a strong sense of confidence.
