Chapter 265: A Golden Thread!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Mrs. Sun, don’t believe in the nonsense this evil creature is spouting! He is obviously trying to drag it out so that he can escape!”

“He captured Master Sun as a hostage so that we would surrender and let him go. However, Master Sun’s life would be in immediate danger if we were to do that!”

“The better strategy would be for us to capture this evil creature and force him to release the seal on Master Sun!

Priest Compassionless was fat, but he was pretty witty. Why would he restrain himself when he had received the short end of the stick!

To be brutally honest, they were prepared to forgo Sun Xing’s life. While it was true that the Sun Family was very influential, their priority was to kill Ling Yun!

Priest Compassionless got angrier by the second. He slammed his staff onto the ground and shouted at Ling Yun without waiting for Niu Fenjiao to say anything. “Give up, evil creature!”

Priest Compassionless then flew over four meters to Ling Yun and hit him squarely on the head!

The whole purpose of capturing Sun Xing was betting on the possibility that they would not disregard Sun Xing. Even if the negotiation fell through, it could still be a delay tactic while waiting for reinforcements!

However, the tide turned against him. Not only did the enemy see through his strategy, they were totally disregarding Sun Xing’s life!

“Compassionless, you f*cker!” Ling Yun was puzzled. Wasn’t Sun Xing their young master? Why did they not care about his life?

Ling Yun was not aware of the fact that these sects were different from those in the Cultivation World. In the Cultivation World, if he were to capture the son of any sect, it would be akin to holding the whole sect ransom.

However, although the four masters were working for the Sun Family, they did not have to obey their orders.

The four masters and their sects were supporting the Sun Family and kept them safe in exchange for financial and influential support from the Sun Family. They were basically relying on each other.

If the hostage had been Sun Xing’s father, there could still be a chance for negotiation. But the Sun Family would not dare to say anything even if Sun Xing died!

This was nothing but Darwin’s evolutionary theory: survival of the fittest!

Ling Yun swore in his heart. He had no choice but to fight now!

Ling Yun blocked himself with Sun Xing as Priest Compassionless’s staff came full force towards them spinning like a windmill. “Look carefully! The one who killed your son is not me, but Priest Compassionless!” Ling Yun shouted towards Niu Fenjiao.

Ling Yun had to win in an argument even at this point.

“Ahhh!” Sun Xing squirmed around and squealed like a pig for slaughter as he saw the staff coming at him!

Priest Compassionless could be cruel to Ling Yun, but he was not prepared to mince Sun Xing into meat. He was a monk after all. He retracted his staff and changed the direction of his attack. This time, he aimed for Ling Yun’s legs!

Ling Yun had to die!

“Attack!” He Xingyan chose that very moment to go full out with Ling Yun. He got behind Ling Yun. He stretched out one hand out to grab Sun Xing, while the other hand went towards Ling Yun’s back!

“F*ck! You shameless b*stards!” The four masters actually attacked at the same time! That pissed Ling Yun off since there was a possibility of being checkmated.

Had Ling Yun ever been bullied with an overwhelming disadvantage? Of course! Being besieged by other sects was a run of the mill occurrence in the Cultivation World. However, Ling Yun had always managed to escape and destroy their sects in the end!

I am not human if I don’t take revenge! Priestess Heartless and Liu Deming cracked their fly-whisks at Ling Yun’s chest and abdomen at the same time!

Ling Yun did not let go of Sun Xing to defend himself even though he was in such a critical situation. He had instead used the Dragon Fish Phantom ability to dash towards Priest Compassionless with two Fire Talismans in his hand.

Once bitten, twice shy!

Priest Compassionless backed away with fear once he saw the Talisman charms!

“Good that you remember the pain!” Ling Yun sneered as he used the opening that Priest Compassionless left and zoomed straight for the woods a few meters away.

He was alone in this battle with the four masters in an open plain. His hostage had become a useless burden that he could not get rid of. There was not a single place in sight to hide. Ling Yun knew that his spiritual energy would be gone in a flash if this continued. That would really be the end of him!

“Going for this again?” He Xingyan and Priestess Heartless exerted their Qinggong to the best of their ability and managed to block Ling Yun from his intended path!

Sh*t, my speed reduced because I don’t have enough spiritual energy left!

It became very apparent to Ling Yun that his Dragon Fish Phantom Ability was currently subpar. He could not use it as effectively as before!

“Brat, you’ve struggled alone for so long. Have you actually become exhausted?” He Xingyan scoffed as he deduced Ling Yun’s predicament from his movements.

Ling Yun concentrated on adjusting his Qi and failed to rebuke for the first time tonight.

At the same time, his mind was running through numerous escape strategies.

The enemy attacked him despite him having Sun Xing on hand. He would be slaughtered without a doubt if he was captured!

“Stop wasting your brain cells on escaping. Just let Master Sun go and accept your fate, brat!” He Xingyan burst out laughing now that he had complete control of the situation!

Ling Yun was about to reply when he felt a very faint spiritual energy coming from above him!

This spiritual energy was not from a plant, but a certain animal!

Ling Yun was in desperate need of spiritual energy. That was why he could detect it even though the spiritual energy was almost imperceptible under normal circumstances!

It’s getting nearer and lower!

A hundred meters above, a thumb-sized chubby golden silkworm was approaching the villa rapidly in the heavy rain!

It was Miao Xiaomiao’s golden silkworm without a doubt! She had even given it a cute name, Xiao Jin.

Why was Xiao Jin here?

Miao Xiaomiao knew about the perplexing changes to Ling Yun from her classmates’ gossip when she entered Qingshui High. In addition, she knew that Ling Yun was not a simple person from the information she deliberately obtained from Zhang Ling. He was definitely rather skilled in martial arts.

Miao Xiaomiao had also discovered the relationship between Ling Yun and Xue Meining in no time. She had seen how Ling Yun saved Xue Meining in the car accident through Xiao Jin. She had her suspicions that Ling Yun was the one who had suppressed the Heart-Devouring Gu Insect and saved Miracle Doctor Xue ever since then.

Besides, Ling Yun was well-versed in medicine and had unparalleled knowledge in acupuncture. Miao Xiaomiao knew that Ling Yun was definitely involved in saving her grandpa, Miracle Doctor Xue, even if he was not the person who treated him!

The question was, was it Ling Yun, or was it Ling Yun’s master who treated Miracle Doctor Xue? Miao Xiaomiao had still been contemplating this question when she had accompanied Zhang Ling to the SOS Disco Nightclub the previous night.

Miao Xiaomiao had therefore deployed Xiao Jin to monitor Ling Yun’s movements. Knowing Xue Meining, she would surely meet with Ling Yun during the three day holiday due to the Qingming Festival.

Xiao Jin flew at an altitude of two hundred meters above sea level and was incredibly fast. It was absolutely undetectable in the current realm Ling Yun was in.

Xiao Jin had mapped out Ling Yun’s daily patterns just from following him around for a day. Places he frequented included Mansion Number Nine in Qingshui Wharf, Mansion Number One in the Qingxi Mansion area, the rented apartment and the unopened clinic.

Miao Xiaomiao had a good overview since she was connected with Xiao Jin through telepathy. Xiao Jin continued with its surveillance of Ling Yun tonight as usual, until things turned for a change at about ten at night.

Ling Yun had left Mansion Number One in a hurry and had driven west to the western suburbs. Xiao Jin had naturally followed suit even though it did not understand what was happening.

Xiao Jin soon discovered that Ling Yun had gotten into a fight and relayed the information to Miao Xiaomiao immediately.

Could Miao Xiaomiao afford to let Ling Yun die? She was still undecided on whether he was the one who saved her grandpa.

If he was indeed her grandpa’s savior and died here, the heart-devouring gu insect in her grandpa would die. Miao Xiaomiao’s grandma Miao Fenghuang could also die anytime due to the resistance!

Miao Xiaomiao was unaware of the fact that Ling Yun could only suppress the heart-devouring gu insect for two months at this point. However, she was not willing to take the chance!

She wished for harm to come to neither her grandpa nor her grandma!

Miao Xiaomiao thus decided swiftly. She asked Xiao Jin to stall for time while she made her way there!

Xiao Jin reached the Zhuang Family’s villa at a critical moment and swooped down directly!

Xiao Jin’s target was He Xingyan. It was carrying a hidden weapon smeared with Xiao Jin’s favorite lethal poison!

It flapped its wings and dove downwards. When it was about ten meters above He Xingyan, it spat silk out!

A thin transparent golden thread traveled through the pouring rain and burrowed itself inaudibly into the shoulder of the laughing He Xingyan!

“Oh! Sh*t!”
