Chapter 1429 The Evil Cultivator Flees
The evil cultivator sensed the crisis and knew that he might not win if he continued fighting, so he thought about it and felt that it would be best to move away. However, moving away might not be that easy, so the evil cultivator took advantage of Leng Shaoting's inattention and immediately grabbed Xu Jingchen, who was closest to him, and took him as a hostage.
Because Xu Jingchen was already injured and was in shock about Leng Shaoting, he was completely defenseless and was easily captured by the evil cultivator.
"Jingchen..."
Everyone was shocked when they saw this, but they didn't dare to step forward rashly, for fear that the evil cultivator would attack Xu Jingchen.
"Give me the Night Pearl, otherwise I will kill him." The evil cultivator threatened Leng Shaoting.
"Okay, I can give you the Night Pearl, but you have to let him go." Leng Shaoting agreed without hesitation.
Although he didn't know whether the evil cultivator would release Xu Jingchen after obtaining the Night Pearl, he couldn't let Xu Jingchen take risks because of the Night Pearl. After all, life was more important to them than any object.
The evil cultivator held Xu Jingchen hostage and came to the exit. He said, "Okay, as long as you give me the Night Pearl, I will let him go."
The evil cultivator knew that if he continued to fight with them, he would be in danger, so after getting the night pearl, he would not continue to fight with them and would leave first.
When his injuries heal, he will seek revenge on them.
"We'll count to three, and then you throw the night pearl over to me, and I'll let you go," said the evil cultivator.
"Okay," Leng Shaoting responded. He was not afraid that the evil cultivator would cheat him. Even if he was afraid, he had to do as he said.
"one two three."
When the evil cultivator counted to three, Leng Shaoting threw the Night Pearl over, deliberately throwing it farther behind him. The evil cultivator immediately let go of Xu Jingchen, but caught the Night Pearl.
After Xu Jingchen was released, he immediately rolled aside to avoid falling into the hands of the evil cultivator and becoming his hostage. Next time, there would be nothing to trade.
It would be terrible if the other party asked Leng Shaoting to do something.
However, at the same time, Leng Shaoting also rushed forward, aiming his gun at the evil cultivator at the same time, and fired with a "bang", and the bullet shot towards the evil cultivator's hand.
Although the evil cultivator could sense the danger, he was slow to react because of his injuries, and was hit by the bullet. He trembled in pain, and the Night Pearl slipped away from his hand.
When he wanted to catch it with his other hand, Leng Shaoting fired another shot, forcing him to dodge. Naturally, he could not hold the Night Pearl, and it fell to the ground.
"You..." The evil cultivator was extremely angry. This mortal actually went back on his word.
But Leng Shaoting was about to come to him. If he was really entangled by him, it would be difficult to escape, so it was impossible for him to take the night pearl.
So, the evil cultivator gritted his teeth, hardened his heart, and simply gave up the Night Pearl and ran away.
Leng Shaoting did not chase after him. Not to mention that he might not catch up with him, he still had three injured comrades here! What if he left and the evil cultivator came back to lure the tiger away from the mountain and hurt them? Fortunately, the other party did not take the night pearl.
Leng Shaoting picked up the night pearl from the ground. When holding the night pearl, Leng Shaoting still felt the spiritual energy seeping into his body, but it was very little.
Although Xu Jingchen and the others were seriously injured, they had all taken spiritual energy crystals, so it was not a big deal. They just needed to rest for a while before going back.
Although Leng Shaoting's spiritual energy crystals had been used up long ago, he absorbed the spiritual energy from the Night Pearl, so his injuries were almost healed.
"Boss, who is that guy? Not only is he very skilled, but he also looks weird and murderous. Also, why were you suddenly knocked away when he hit you?" Chen Meng asked puzzledly.
Not only Chen Meng, but Ai Weishun was also full of doubts.
As for Xu Jingchen, he didn't know how the evil cultivator was blown away, but he knew that he was an evil cultivator and not an ordinary person. However, he didn't say a word because Gu Ning said that he couldn't tell anyone about it.
"I don't know either." Leng Shaoting didn't say anything for the time being, and lied without blushing: "But don't make this matter public for now. I will tell you after I investigate it. And if you meet such people in the future, don't force yourself to take the lead, notify me first."
The so-called thorough investigation is only after asking Gu Ning. Without Gu Ning's consent, he would not tell them casually.
Moreover, the gap between their strength and that of the evil cultivators is too great, it is simply like an egg hitting a stone, so if they confront them rashly, they will be in great danger.
"Okay," they responded in unison. Since Leng Shaoting said he didn't know, they naturally didn't ask any more questions, because it would be useless to ask.
Moreover, the opponent was indeed extremely powerful, and they were not people without self-awareness, so they naturally knew that they could not confront him rashly.
In order not to appear special and arouse suspicion, Xu Jingchen also responded.
"I need to take this night pearl back to study it. When someone asks about it, I will just say that I didn't find it." Leng Shaoting said. He needed to study the night pearl to find out how he could absorb the spiritual energy from it.
Why could he absorb the spiritual energy here? And after absorbing the spiritual energy of the night pearl, his swollen dantian was immediately relieved.
"Yes," several people responded.
After they had rested for a while, they left.
The next morning, Gu Ning went to the airport and returned to Hai City.
When I arrived in Hai City, I turned on my phone and saw Yu Zi's missed call, so I called her back.
"Boss," Yu Zi shouted as soon as the call was connected, her voice clearly filled with excitement.
Gu Ning was also infected by this and smiled, asking, "Is there any good news? I can tell from your voice that you are excited."
"Yes! I, didn't I tell you before that my teacher signed me up for the Paris Fashion Design Competition? I made it into the top ten. I'm ranked eighth, which is relatively far behind, but my teacher said that it's rare for a newcomer like me to be shortlisted in this kind of international competition for the first time, and I have a lot of room for future development. And those who are shortlisted in the top ten can appear on fashion shows, which will be broadcast to the whole world. The results of my domestic competition are also out, and I got third place. If I can also be selected by the Paris fashion industry, then it is possible that both of my works will appear on the fashion show, but this is not certain yet..." Yu Zi said, not hiding her excitement. She had never thought that there would be such a day for her.
Her biggest wish used to be that more people would like her designs, so that she could sell more gifts and live a better life.
But after meeting Gu Ning, everything changed, and her trajectory was moving in a better and better direction.
