"Li Genmiao?"
Hearing the name, Ji Bing's heart ignited with rage.
This scoundrel of a folk sect had planted so many spies in my Wushen Mountain. If Yan Shouyi hadn't informed me, I would still be kept in the dark, unaware that I had been sidelined!
Ji Bing's hatred for Li Genmiao surpassed his hatred for Yan Shouyi. Although he desperately wanted to capture the Yan Shouyi before him and avenge Hu Chai's kidnapping, Ji Bing was even more eager to deal with Li Genmiao at the moment.
He sneered, "Li Genmiao is coming? Good, I was looking for him! Wushen Mountain has so many people here, a single spit from each could drown him. Am I afraid of him?"
"You don't understand!"
Yan Shouyi said helplessly, "The Li Genmiao of today is not what he used to be. Even if all of us combined are no match for him! To kill him, we need to rally the entire Xuanmen. Fighting him alone will only lead to death!"
Despite the large number of people Ji Bing had brought, how many of them were true powerhouses?
Before Ji Bing arrived, he had already purged Wushen Mountain once, killing all the spies Li Genmiao had planted. Many of them were strong individuals. Wushen Mountain was now severely weakened, its strength even falling behind the other four folk sect powers.
Pan Shiyi and the other villagers of Taoyuan Village were actually stronger than Ji Bing and his men, but how long did they hold out against the Grand Tutor?
In Yan Shouyi's eyes, Ji Bing and his men staying here now was simply walking to their deaths!
However, Ji Bing was extremely confident and dismissed Yan Shouyi's advice:
"Yan Shouyi, you are still too young. With so many of us here, even the old Heavenly Master Zhang Yin, if he were alive, would have the ability to fight him. No matter how strong this Li Genmiao is, he can't be stronger than the old Heavenly Master, can he? Hmph, I thought you, Yan Shouyi, were some kind of hero, but it turns out you are such an impetuous and cowardly fellow. Get lost! Don't come to Wushen Mountain's territory again. I find it embarrassing!"
Seeing that Ji Bing didn't believe him and was mocking him, Yan Shouyi could only sigh inwardly.
Jiang Qingxue stepped forward, grabbed Yan Shouyi's arm, and whispered, "Good advice is wasted on a stubborn fool. Let them stall for time here, and we'll leave first!"
"That's the only way."
Yan Shouyi knew that no matter what he said now, Ji Bing would not believe him and would only look down on him even more.
Only when they witnessed the Grand Tutor's power firsthand would they realize how wrong their decision was.
"Xu Shengnan and Hu Chai are both locked up in the cellar. You can find them yourselves. We... are leaving now. Take care of yourselves."
After speaking, Yan Shouyi, under Ji Bing's scornful gaze, drove away with his companions.
It was still a three-hour drive from this place to the city, but as soon as they drove down the mountain, Yan Shouyi could contact the Folklore Research Association and inform everyone of what had happened here.
Then, he would ask Ye Chengfu to send a private jet to pick them up and return to Rongcheng as quickly as possible.
At this moment, Yan Shouyi could only pray silently that Ji Bing and the others could hold on a little longer.
In the bumpy car, Long Feicheng kept glancing at the Changbai Mountain behind them.
With a complex expression, he asked, "Brother Yan, is the Grand Tutor really that powerful? Even you, even Mom, can't deal with him?"
"Mom?" Jiang Qingxue looked at Long Feicheng with surprise.
Yan Shouyi quickly introduced, "Mom, this is Long Feicheng. He is my best, best, best brother. We have a life-or-death friendship!"
It was the first time Jiang Qingxue had met her son's friend. Her maternal love overflowed, and she smiled at Long Feicheng, "Thank you for taking care of our Shouyi all this time."
Long Feicheng froze, then quickly shook his head, saying guiltily, "No... actually, it's always Brother Yan who takes care of me."
Yan Shouyi briefly introduced Long Feicheng's background to Jiang Qingxue. To him, there were two things he had to mention after meeting Jiang Qingxue: first, he had married a girl named Lin Zitong and was about to become the father of two children; second, he and Long Feicheng were as close as brothers, true brothers who would go through fire and water for each other.
Therefore, even in such a critical situation, Yan Shouyi did not forget to introduce Long Feicheng.
Upon hearing that Long Feicheng was an orphan, Jiang Qingxue felt even more heartache. She patted Long Feicheng's head and comforted him,
"Little Long, if you don't mind, I can adopt you as my godson."
Long Feicheng, however, felt a little embarrassed. He had always shamelessly called others godfather or grandfather, but this was the first time someone wanted to adopt him as a godson.
However, Long Feicheng, who had never experienced maternal love, felt incredibly fulfilled at this moment.
With Yan Shouyi, he had a father, a mother, a grandfather, a grandmother, and so many good friends...
Perhaps this was the happiness Long Feicheng had always been searching for.
His gaze was no longer complex; instead, it became determined.
"Brother Yan, is the Grand Tutor really that strong?" he asked again the question no one had answered before.
Yan Shouyi said solemnly, "The Grand Tutor is now a true 'Fierce God.' Even if the old Heavenly Master were resurrected, he might not be able to kill him."
As soon as he finished speaking, a loud bang suddenly came from behind them.
Through the rearview mirror, they saw Taoyuan Village explode.
The deafening sound reached them. Although they didn't know what had happened in Taoyuan Village, they could imagine the tragic scene.
It was likely that the Grand Tutor was now slaughtering people in Taoyuan Village.
They wondered if Ji Bing and the others regretted their decision now.
In another car, the Dog Taoist's expression was more solemn than ever.
"Such terrifying malevolent energy. Even from such a distance, I already feel like retreating..."
Miao Ji put his palms together, his expression equally grim, "With the Grand Tutor appearing, there is probably no one in this world who can defeat him. Even if big brother were to make a move... it would be difficult."
After the older generation gradually passed away, the Dog Taoist and the others believed Yan Chou was the strongest.
But after witnessing the Grand Tutor's terror, their first choice was no longer Yan Chou.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, a charred car fell from the sky, crashing in front of Yan Shouyi's vehicle.
A member of Wushen Mountain struggled to climb out of the car. He was severely burned and unrecognizable. Seeing Yan Shouyi and the others, he weakly extended his hand.
"Save... save me... save me..."
However, before Yan Shouyi and the others could get out of the car, the Wushen Mountain member had already breathed his last.
Seeing the tragic state of the Wushen Mountain member, the determination in Long Feicheng's eyes grew even stronger.
As Yan Shouyi drove past the corpse and continued on his way, Long Feicheng said softly from the back seat,
"Brother Yan, if the Grand Tutor catches up, let's not run anymore."
"What did you say?" Yan Shouyi was fully focused on driving and did not hear Long Feicheng clearly.
Long Feicheng gritted his teeth and muttered to himself, "I will protect everyone..."
