Tang Family? Jun Xie felt shocked as he immediately thought of Tang Yuan’s family. Pondering about this, he moved his body, using the heavy rain as a cover and hid himself behind a wall with a flash. The wall was an earthen wall, not high by usual standards and not capable of hiding an entire person. However, it provided an excellent cover within this heavy rain, which was filled with fog; not to mention, the people in front were not even aware of his existence. He slowly removed the bamboo rain hat and was immediately soaked from head to toe in water.
This was because the sound produced from rain hitting the bamboo rain hat differed from the sound produced from rain hitting the earthen wall. Jun Xie could not help but be careful. Of course, there was still a fine difference in sound produced from rain hitting the body compared to hitting the earthen wall. However, when compared to the bamboo hat, this difference was far smaller.
Amidst the gasping sounds of “hu”, “hu”, roughly six people walked forward, seemingly requiring great effort to even walk. None of them seemed to think that it was possible for someone to be around the main street in this heavy rain. One of them who was holding on to a parcel, turned around and said. “This matter had been planned for so long, but was never successfully accomplished. For us to finally succeed this time around, the master will definitely be overjoyed once he finds out.”
Another man replied while gasping. “It is true that we succeeded, but at no small cost. How unexpected, even though four out of six of the Tang Family’s elites are not around, they still managed to detect our stealthy movements. If it was not for that mysterious person who lured away the two remaining expert of the Tang Family, and also our fourteen brothers who sacrificed their lives to guard our rear, I fear… sigh…” Having said that, he started coughing.
“However, this item is of great importance. We have no room for error regarding this matter. We had better return quickly and hand this item over to the master. We must finish up this matter as soon as possible; only then can we let our guard down a bit. Sigh, the next few days would certainly be crappy! Do not delay anymore, be careful of any possible interruptions and move!”
“Indeed, indeed. However, Brother Lang, in order for us to infiltrate the Tang Family earlier, your brother-in-law had helped us. What would happen if the Tang Family found out about it? I fear that your brother-in-law would be unable to escape…”
“Fear your ass! By the time they find out about it, we brothers would have collected our rewards and leave this place for another. The world is not a small place. I really do not believe that this Tang Family have the ability to find us! As for my brother-in-law, I believe he is long gone by now. Like hell he would wait for the Tang Family to catch him! That guy is a slippery one, if you have time to worry about him, you might as well worry more about yourself!”
“Very true.”
The six people moved forward in a hurry, each step bringing them closer towards Jun Xie. Watching from the side, Jun Xie observed that among the six people, four of them had suffered serious injuries while the injuries suffered by the other two was not light either. As they moved, blood continuously flowed out from them. Two of them were coughing non-stop, each cough resulting in the ground being splattered with the colour of crimson. However, the crimson colour was immediately washed away by the rainwater.
What exactly did they stole from the Tang Family? Was it really so important? They sent in twenty men, but was forced to leave behind fourteen, allowing only six to escape. As for these six people, four of them suffered such grievous injuries and yet they actually feel satisfied and proud?
If the Tang Family obtained something good, would Tang Yuan not show it off first?
Suddenly, the one who seemed to have suffered the most grievous of injuries stopped moving. He coughed out before snapping. “Who is it? Reveal yourself!” With a thunderous gaze, he shifted his attention towards Jun Xie’s direction. His body suddenly emitted a brilliant silver glow as he channelled all the xuan qi in his body, fully ready to strike at any moment!
The person who was suffering the most grievous injuries was actually a Silver levelled Xuan Qi expert!
Furthermore, he also managed to detect Jun Xie’s presence!
