"Hero Xiao has already gone after him. Is the master worried that Hero Xiao might not be able to catch him?" asked the trusted aide beside him.
Xu Yu looked worried: "According to the descriptions of the people in the manor, that thief's cultivation is unfathomable. In addition, there is Yu Yanluo and a possible expert from the snake clan. Xiao Yao may not be able to deal with him alone."
As he spoke, he mounted his horse and headed towards the Taoist temple where Yan Xuehen was.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Zu'an, with Yu Yanluo, used the walls and other obstacles in the city to quickly shake off their pursuers.
Just as they were about to take Yu Yanluo to the Duke's mansion to hide, they sensed an extremely sharp sword aura coming from afar.
“Xiao Yao!” Zu An had fought with him before, and his distinctive features made him easy to recognize.
"Let's leave the city first, so as not to affect 'Jian Yanyou's' identity," Yu Yanlu suggested. Given Xiao Yao's speed in catching up, the two of them would probably have barely entered the Duke's mansion before he arrived.
Ordinary pursuers can be shaken off using various buildings, but a master's aura lock, although it can't be too precise at such a distance, will not be wrong in general direction.
If the fact that the two of them had worked so hard to build up Jian Yanyou's return were to be exposed, the consequences would be too severe.
Zuan was well aware of the danger involved, and without the slightest hesitation, he took Yu Yanluo and ran in another direction.
Feeling the buildings and trees rushing past her, Yu Yanluo was filled with admiration. His speed was truly incredible, no less than that of a grandmaster. Given his cultivation level, he shouldn't be able to move at such a speed.
After a while, she gradually figured it out. Zuan's speed wasn't always this fast; many times it had a teleportation effect, while at other times it was a little slower, but it would quickly teleport again.
Having witnessed his moves several times before, I was well aware of the unpredictability of his movements, and I knew that even if I went all out, my speed would be far inferior to his.
Even so, the two of them couldn't completely shake off Xiao Yao. No matter how they changed direction, he always stayed behind them.
Yu Yanluo frowned: "Is this drunkard courting death? If you and I join forces and fight to the death, he simply won't survive."
She had many concerns before taking action, as she couldn't reveal her talents and abilities. But if she was really pushed to the limit, she would open Medusa's Eye. Xiao Yao might not be able to handle her alone, not to mention that Zuan was there to help her.
She was, after all, the head of the household, and also a descendant of Medusa. She was already seething with resentment from being imprisoned these past few days, and now she was being relentlessly pursued.
Zu An shook his head: "Xiao Yao is a respectable person. I don't want to fight him unless absolutely necessary, especially since he is the personal disciple of the academy's chief instructor. It would be unwise to offend the academy and the chief instructor if anything bad happens. Besides, his swordsmanship is extremely high. We can't subdue him in a short time. We'll be in trouble when the main force from the city arrives."
Besides, given Xiao Yao's relationship with Manman's mother and his years of secretly protecting Manman, he couldn't possibly bring himself to do something so ruthless.
"What do we do now?" Yu Yanluo also calmed down.
Zuan's peripheral vision suddenly caught sight of a brightly lit building in the distance—the Jade Pavilion.
A thought struck him: "I've got it!"
Immediately, several figures separated and left in different directions. He jumped down from the roof, took out two pieces of clothing and put them on the two people, then quietly slipped into the Jade Pavilion.
