Three days ago, Wen Ziqing went to the battlefield hospital to ask Wang Xuyang for an explanation, and Wang Xuyang revealed his true colors. Sensing a dangerous aura from Wang Xuyang, Wen Ziqing was about to run away, but was blocked by Dr. Li Hongmei, who was on rounds.
The situation was urgent. If Wen Ziqing had pushed Li Hongmei away, he might have escaped the room in time. However, Wen Ziqing hesitated. After all, he knew that "Wang Xuyang" was coming for him, and Li Hongmei was merely an innocent victim caught up in the situation. Just like Da Zeng and Xiao Jin, who were blown to pieces in a minefield.
Although Wen Ziqing felt guilty about the deaths of Da Zeng and Xiao Jin, he also felt that it was caused by the inhumanity of "Wang Xuyang" and that Wen Ziqing had no regrets.
Li Hongmei, however, was different. She was still alive. Because of Wen Ziqing, she had seen Wang Xuyang's true face. Wen Ziqing wasn't going to gamble on whether Wang Xuyang would be kind enough to let her go after his escape. The deaths of Da Zeng and Xiao Jin were enough to convince Wen Ziqing that Wang Xuyang was a vicious man. Wen Ziqing could foresee that if he were to leave, Li Hongmei, left behind in the ward, would surely die.
Wen Ziqing couldn't bear to watch Li Hongmei die.
Wen Ziqing's hesitation gave Liu Jingyun, now transformed into Wang Xuyang, time to inject spiritual energy into the invisibility cloak. Feeling the cloak activated by his spiritual energy, Liu Jingyun decisively grabbed Wen Ziqing, not even letting Li Hongmei go.
Wen Ziqing was the one Liu Jingyun wanted to take away, and Li Hongmei was the one Liu Jingyun wanted to kill. To conceal his whereabouts, Liu Jingyun would definitely not let Li Hongmei go after she saw his true face. If Xiaohu hadn't arrived at that time, Liu Jingyun would have chosen to kill Li Hongmei here before leaving. After all, carrying an extra person with the invisibility cloak would consume more spiritual energy.
Liu Jingyun was a cultivator, and though he was only in the late stages of Qi training, he was no match for ordinary people like Wen Ziqing and Li Hongmei. Liu Jingyun's hands clamped around Wen Ziqing and Li Hongmei's pulse points like iron pliers. Wen Ziqing tried to struggle, but his limbs were sore that he couldn't muster even a trace of Qi. Li Hongmei didn't even struggle, either; it was unclear whether she'd been knocked unconscious by Liu Jingyun or simply frightened out of her wits. She simply kept her head lowered, motionless.
"Let me go." Wen Ziqing shouted in a low voice, but a feeling of confusion and anger emerged in his heart.
Was this the true strength of a cultivator? A cultivator who could overturn rivers and seas and do whatever he pleased? His skills, which he had always been so proud of, were completely powerless in front of a powerful cultivator.
"Hehehe... Wen Ziqing, are you sure you want me to let you go now?" Liu Jingyun's voice was full of joy. During the few months in the "Thunder Squad", in order to complete his tasks, Liu Jingyun had to listen to the orders of Wen Ziqing, an ordinary person, in everything. This made him feel uncomfortable and even suffocated.
Every time he saw Wen Ziqing, Liu Jingyun couldn't help but compare himself to him. In Liu Jingyun's opinion, although Wen Ziqing's strength was already a master among ordinary people, it was still not worth mentioning when facing them, the cultivators.
Even such an insignificant person had touched the heart of his uncle, Taoist Baopu. As the direct disciple of Jinping Peak Master, he was not only a powerful figure within the Yushan Sect, but also a highly respected figure. Liu Jingyun was deeply resigned, but he couldn't change Taoist Baopu's decision. He could only vent his anger by humiliating Wen Ziqing, who was currently outmatched in strength.
When the invisibility cloak moved at high speed, the people inside the cloak had no sense of it at all. If it weren't for Liu Jingyun's words, Wen Ziqing would have thought they had stayed where they were.
Wen Ziqing looked up and saw that the field hospital had become a black dot in the distance, while he and Li Hongmei were held in Liu Jingyun's hands and flying at high speed in the air.
Wen Ziqing was shocked. He hadn't expected the cultivator's methods to be so powerful. From the time he and Li Hongmei were captured until now, only a minute or two had passed. In two minutes, they had escaped dozens of kilometers, a speed even faster than an airplane.
While Wen Ziqing was thinking, Liu Jingyun reduced the spiritual power input into the cloak and slowly descended to the ground with Wen Ziqing and Li Hongmei.
The smell of dead branches and fallen leaves filled his nose. Wen Ziqing looked closely and found that he was already in a forest.
"Wang Xuyang, let Dr. Li go, and I will go with you." Wen Ziqing saw that although Li Hongmei's eyes were open, her eyeballs did not move at all. It was obvious that she was frightened by this sudden "kidnapping".
Thinking that Li Hongmei was implicated by himself, Wen Ziqing found an opportunity and quickly excused Li Hongmei.
"Do you think I'm stupid? Let her go back and find someone to save you?" Liu Jingyun rolled his eyes at Wen Ziqing and said impatiently.
The invisibility cloak is a good magic weapon. When driven by spiritual power, it can carry Liu Jingyun in the air at a speed faster than an airplane. However, such a magic weapon also consumes a huge amount of spiritual power.
Liu Jingyun had no spiritual stones on him, and relied entirely on his own spiritual power to drive the cloak. Although the field hospital was less than a hundred kilometers away from the secret realm, after the cloak flew into the "Forest of Death" for a few kilometers, Liu Jingyun's spiritual power ran out and he had to stop.
Liu Jingyun hated Li Hongmei for slowing him down, so how could he let her go so easily?
"You've already said that you're a cultivator, capable of turning rivers and seas upside down, and I'm just an ordinary person. How can I find someone who can defeat you cultivators to save me?" Wen Ziqing smiled bitterly, repeating Liu Jingyun's own words to him. While Wen Ziqing said this, he was actually wondering if his little girl's strength was as strong as Liu Jingyun's.
"Boy, you really don't know how to appreciate your blessings. All it took was for Master Baopu to accept a disciple, and thousands of people from the Yushan Sect would be willing to become his disciples. Only you, a boy, wouldn't want to. Master Baopu's efforts were wasted." Liu Jingyun felt furious whenever he thought of this. He'd seen many people act arrogantly, but he'd never seen Wen Ziqing act this arrogantly. What did this kid think of their Yushan Sect? Just a hundred or two hundred years ago, any cultivator from their sect who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage would have been worshipped by emperors in the secular world.
"Wang Xuyang, Dr. Li is innocent. Why do you have to involve her in our matter?" Wen Ziqing didn't know Liu Jingyun's name, so he continued to call him "Wang Xuyang." As long as there was a glimmer of hope, Wen Ziqing wanted to buy Li Hongmei a chance to live.
"This woman has seen my true face, she must die." Liu Jingyun felt very impatient. If he could let Li Hongmei go, why should he catch her together? He could just let her go in the hospital and save himself some spiritual energy.
