Upon hearing Chen Zhou's words, Li Gang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Why not send your subordinates?"
Li Gang clearly didn't understand why his master would personally go through such errands.
"If I knew this, would you have told me? I need to absorb that mountain mushroom as soon as possible, so I have to go myself. You are my disciple, so of course you have to protect me along the way," Chen Zhou said indignantly.
"Alright, then we can have our subordinates protect us and go together!" Li Gang was clearly a little apprehensive about going to such a faraway place alone.
"If there are too many people, it will delay the trip. The two of us will be much faster!" Chen Zhou casually made up a reason.
"Alright then." Seeing that Chen Zhou was getting weaker and weaker, Li Gang had no choice but to agree. The two of them set off immediately and slipped out of the mansion through the back door. The main gate was full of Li Gang's mother's people, and going through the main gate would inevitably cause a conflict, so they had to take a detour.
"Mother, I'm sorry. Master's health is serious, and I must protect him on his way." Before leaving, Li Gang watched his mother leading a large group of people guarding the entrance from afar. After speaking, Li Gang followed Chen Zhou through the fire curtain and rushed out of the residence.
Along the way, they naturally encountered many people. Chen Zhou had already made preparations and had covered Li Gang and himself up tightly. Soon they arrived at the edge of the Xuanyuan Manor residence. Just as they were about to leave the residence, they discovered that the gate of the Xuanyuan Manor residence was already locked!
So whether the two of them can get out is still a huge question.
Chen Zhou quickly thought it over in his mind. The two of them were so well covered up, they didn't look like good people. If they went out now, they would definitely be questioned by the subordinates at the door.
What should I do?
Just as the two hesitated, a voice suddenly came from the doorway.
"What are you two doing lurking around there so suspiciously? And why are you all so bundled up? Who are you?" It was a familiar male voice.
Chen Zhou was startled when he heard the voice and immediately looked towards the entrance. Only then did he see the person. It turned out that the one speaking was the burly man who had grabbed him at the restaurant entrance and interrogated him in the prison!
"Is that Ruan Ange?" Just as Chen Zhou was in a daze, Li Gang next to Chen Zhou also saw the man in the distance. At this moment, Li Gang slowly read out the man's name.
Upon hearing this, Chen Zhou immediately asked, "Who is this person?"
Upon hearing Chen Zhou's question, Li Gang immediately replied, "This is one of my former subordinates, Ruan Ange. He used to be my father's capable subordinate, and in the end, my father assigned him to me, but for some reason, he canceled his assignment a few days ago."
It seems that Li Hanmo has assigned Ruan Ange to guard the gate here. Ruan Ange must be extremely irritable and angry right now.
Chen Zhou still vividly remembers how Ruan Ange captured him and bound him, subjecting him to inhuman treatment in prison. He remembers it all clearly, and right now, Chen Zhou wants to teach this man a lesson. It seems the only way for the two of them to leave is to force their way out. Originally, Chen Zhou had planned to use Li Gang's identity to get out.
Now it seems there was absolutely no need for that.
“Master, don’t worry. He won’t dare stop me, I’ll go.” Li Gang said at this moment, and then prepared to take off the clothes covering his mouth and face and stride forward.
Seeing that things were not going well, Chen Zhou immediately grabbed the impulsive Li Gang and said, "Don't worry! I still have some strength left. I'll handle this. Watch and learn carefully. These are all techniques for using fire."
Chen Zhou and Li Gang only showed their eyes at this moment. They looked at each other, and Li Gang nodded. Chen Zhou then led Li Gang forward immediately.
For some reason, Li Gang noticed that Chen Zhou didn't seem so weak anymore.
"Who are you? You dare to keep going forward? Do you want to break through the barrier?" Ruan Ange looked at the two people walking towards him with interest and slowly spoke. On the contrary, the people behind him were very wary of Chen Zhou and all gathered together to block the gate. Chen Zhou had not yet made a move and was just walking quietly.
The two continued walking forward, and Chen Zhou finally stopped about ten meters in front of Ruan Ange. When Chen Zhou got there, several dazzling flames immediately appeared in his hands hidden in his sleeves, but no one noticed that Chen Zhou's sleeves were glowing and heating up.
Chen Zhou's control over the Rootless Fire using the Fire Transformation Technique has now reached a superb level. He slowly manifested the flames outside, eventually distributing them around his body. These flames slowly rose around Chen Zhou's body, and Ruan Ange immediately became wary upon seeing this.
Ruan Ange was also capable of manipulating demonic energy, but seeing these tiny flames, he felt a sense of panic. This was the first time he had ever seen anything like it! This person could actually control flames? He naturally knew what it felt like to control demonic energy, and his intuition told him that these flames were definitely not demonic energy!
Therefore, what this person is controlling at this moment is definitely not demonic energy, but real flames!
"Retreat," Ruan Ange said calmly. After she finished speaking, the people behind her had already retreated quite a bit, while she stood alone in front, continuing to coldly watch Chen Zhou and Li Gang not far away. The two of them were now only showing their eyes, and Ruan Ange still couldn't tell Li Gang and Chen Zhou apart just by looking at their eyes.
"Rumble..."
Chen Zhou gathered all the fireballs together, eventually condensing them into a giant fireball. This fireball then rapidly changed, its entire shape undergoing a dramatic transformation, ultimately transforming into a lotus-like shape, becoming a fire lotus!
After the fire lotus was formed, Chen Zhou quietly looked ahead, then raised his hand and the entire fire lotus flew out of his hand. In the blink of an eye, the fire lotus appeared in the crowd in front of him, including Ruan Ange!
The crowd immediately began to retreat to both sides, but it was too late; they ultimately collided with Chen Zhou's Fire Lotus.
The fire lotus made intimate contact with the gate in front of them. As soon as the fire lotus touched something, it would immediately disperse and explode with a "boom". The entire fire lotus burst open, and the entire gate was engulfed in flames. Chen Zhou immediately manipulated his flames to create a fire curtain in front of the two of them. Chen Zhou and Li Gang rushed towards the gate in front of them.
As the two walked through the sea of fire, they could see the people along the way, all of whom were seriously injured. Just as the two passed through the sea of fire and left the gate, Ruan Ange behind them used his demonic energy to shake off the flames on his body. When he looked up, he found that the two people from before were gone!
"Notify the manor immediately, someone is trying to break through!" Ruan Ange shouted, but no one paid any attention to her at this point.
