Wei Dan was somewhat embarrassed and angry, and his voice became sharp: "Little Yingzi, you are deliberately testing my patience. Are you perhaps seeking death?"
"Want to die?" Old Man Mi smiled sadly. "If you can live, who would want to die?"
Zuan felt a little sad. Although he had always been worried that Old Man Mi had ulterior motives towards him, he couldn't help but feel sad after knowing him for so long and seeing him end up like this.
Just then, a commotion arose in the distance. It turned out that the commotion had alerted the Chu family, and a group of people were rushing over to investigate.
Zuan even considered asking the Chu family for help, but after thinking about it, he decided against it.
Previously, Hong Zhong, the strongest remaining member of the Chu family, was instantly killed by Old Man Mi, while Wei Dan was even stronger than Old Man Mi.
Qin Wanru was only a sixth-rank official and couldn't even fight. The remaining people, though elite, were completely outmatched by the huge rank difference, making them lambs to the slaughter when facing Wei Dan.
If Chu Zhongtian were at home, things would be a bit better, but he's only at the eighth rank of cultivation, so he'd probably be no match for him anyway.
Unless the Chu family's Red Robe Army is also present, they might have a fighting chance.
Since arriving in this world, Zuan has always been puzzled as to why there are still countries and armies if individual cultivators are so powerful.
The answer was later found in the classes at the academy: although the individual cultivation levels of the army in this world are not as high as those of many high-level cultivators, the army can use a special formation to distribute the cultivator's attacks to each soldier to bear; at the same time, it can combine the attacks of all soldiers to deal with the enemy.
In this way, even high-level cultivators are no match for a fully formed army.
Therefore, a certain balance is maintained between the national organizational structure and the military power of individuals.
Just as Zu'an was feeling regretful, Wei Dan spoke up: "Hmph, I'm too lazy to waste my breath arguing with you. The Chu family is already on their way, let's capture you first."
Old Man Mi laughed heartily: "It's not that easy!"
With that, he flashed to Zaun's hiding place, grabbed him in his astonished gaze, and flew into the night.
It was clear that he had already suspected that Zuan was hiding here.
Zuan tried to resist, but the difference in strength between the two sides was too great. As soon as the other party grabbed his shoulder, he immediately lost all his strength.
Zuan looked completely bewildered: "I was just passing by!"
"Shut up!" Old Man Mi snorted coldly, then flew away with him into the distance.
Wei Dan exclaimed in surprise. There was actually someone hiding here. Why hadn't he noticed it before?
But he didn't have time to think about it and hurriedly chased after him, shouting, "Where are you going!"
When the Chu family arrived, they witnessed Zu An being taken away, and a commotion erupted among them:
"Hey, that looks like the old flower farmer from your household."
"Who is that other old man?"
"I don't know who that is, but I think I saw my son-in-law being taken away by them!"
...
A group of people were discussing it excitedly, all clamoring to go and rescue the person.
Cheng Shouping jumped out and said, "Nonsense! Our son-in-law is a peerless master, how could he be easily captured by two old men? Obviously, our son-in-law is using a trick to catch them all at once, so he pretended to be captured."
"Brother Cheng is right." The group nodded in agreement. After all, the son-in-law had killed Hong Zhong and Chu Tiesheng before. Now, in their minds, the son-in-law was a synonym for unfathomable. It was indeed unlikely that he would be captured by two old men in such a sorry state.
Upon hearing the name "Brother Cheng," Cheng Shouping looked smug. In all his years in the household, when had he ever been treated with such respect?
All of this is thanks to her son-in-law, so she must stick close to him from now on.
Just now, someone actually spread rumors that the son-in-law had been arrested. Such gossip must be stopped immediately to prevent it from damaging his illustrious image!
At this moment, the guard Zhou Lujun pulled Cheng Shouping aside with a dark face: "Are you sure the young master is playing along? Those two old men are at least ninth-rank officials."
"Ninth Rank?" Cheng Shouping was startled. "Could it be that his cultivation level is even higher than Master's?"
"Of course?" Feng Daniu asked in surprise, "It is common knowledge that ninth-grade cultivators can fly. Those two old men just now grabbed the young master and flew away. Don't you even know this common knowledge?"
"Of course I know," Cheng Shouping said stubbornly, but his heart was filled with unease. He kept praying to all the gods and Buddhas, "Young master, young master, please come back safely, otherwise my good days in the Chu family will be over."
At this moment, Zu'an was being held by Old Man Mi and flying through the air. As he watched the houses on the ground shrink to the size of matchboxes, he couldn't help but swallow hard: "If you want to fight, then fight! Why are you holding me up?"
As soon as he opened his mouth, a blast of cold wind rushed in, making his words muffled and unclear.
Old Man Mi snorted coldly: "You're involved in this matter too, so naturally you can't escape unscathed."
"What does this have to do with me?" Zuan had just finished speaking when he suddenly realized that he also knew the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra," so it did seem to be related to him. "Then you'd better hold on tight, or you'll be finished if you fall."
"Don't worry, at worst you'll be crippled, not killed. It might even increase your skills." Old Man Mi said with a forced smile.
Zuan: "..."
He knew he was referring to the "Phoenix Nirvana Sutra," which teaches one to increase their power by being beaten, but he had no intention of increasing his power in this way.
At this moment, Wei Dan's voice came from behind: "Xiao Yingzi, how did you manage to sense this kid just now? Even I didn't sense his presence."
