At this moment, Liu Ji and Chu Ji, who were in the carriage ahead, also noticed the commotion in the city. Both looked worried and said in unison:
"I don't know if the Duke (he) succeeded."
Upon hearing the other person's voice, both women were startled, sensing the concern in his words, but that person was not the Duke.
Thinking about this, both of them felt embarrassed.
Meanwhile, things were in complete chaos on Zu'an's side. He knew all too well that once they got entangled, more and more experts would arrive, and he and Yu Yanluo would eventually be outnumbered.
The key issue is that this greatly increases the likelihood of his identity being exposed, and the consequences would be unbearable at present.
Therefore, seeing Sang Hong blocking his way, he dared not linger in the fight and directly sent him flying with a palm strike.
Then, he and Yu Yanluo quickly disappeared outside the courtyard wall.
Sang Hong scrambled to his feet, feeling several surges of soft energy within him that nearly made him lose his balance. He quickly circulated his internal energy to regulate his breathing.
He was shocked; this person's cultivation was terrifyingly high.
However, his expression quickly turned strange, because he keenly sensed that the opponent had a real chance to seriously injure him with that palm strike, but deliberately used a softer force, as if afraid of hurting himself.
He has a motive to save Yu Yanluo, possesses high cultivation, and at the same time doesn't want to hurt me...
Sang Hong's heart skipped a beat. Could it be Azu?
At this moment, the other guards had already gathered around: "Lord Sang, how are you?"
"I'm fine. You all come with me to check on Madam Yu's condition first. The rest of you go after the escapees." Sang Hong thought that this was the only way to help him secretly. He couldn't just tell everyone not to chase after them.
He rushed to the courtyard and found the guards lying on the ground, and Yu Yanluo was indeed nowhere to be seen.
He couldn't help but look worried; if Ah Zu did this, he might be doomed if he wasn't careful.
Just then, a whooshing sound came from inside the house, followed by Xiao Yao asking, "What happened?"
"Madam Yu has been rescued," Sang Hong snorted. "Why wasn't Mr. Xiao there to protect her at this crucial moment?"
He knew how high Xiao Yao's cultivation level was and was worried that Zu An was in danger, so he tried his best to delay him.
Xiao Yao's expression changed as the image of Jiang Luofu flashed through his mind. It just so happened that she had invited him out today…
However, since the other party was his fellow disciple and not a Medusa like Yu Yanluo, he naturally didn't want to involve her: "Which way did the thief run off to?"
Just as Sang Hong was about to stop them, someone next to him pointed in the direction Zu An had left.
Xiao Yao flashed away and flew off on his sword.
Sang Hong frowned, regretting that he hadn't gained enough time. After thinking for a moment, he hurriedly followed.
Not long after, Xu Yu also rushed back alone. He was clearly impatient to join the main group and used his movement skills to run at high speed.
He hurriedly directed his men to begin pursuing and intercepting the two who had fled, while simultaneously inquiring about the situation regarding Yu Yanluo's rescue from the household.
After hearing the whole story, he looked incredulous. His impregnable defenses had been breached silently.
Who in the entire Cloud City has such ability?
Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he immediately thought of someone.
"Follow me!" After saying that, he led his men directly to the imperial envoy's residence.
