If it weren't for Su Xiuhang today, Hu Shaomeng might have already taken the Tianqing Cloud Sheep and fled a thousand miles away.
So even though he spoke arrogantly, Jiang Wang had no intention of doing anything to him.
Of course, the fact that he hadn't pushed open the door of heaven and earth, and mastered the first-class fire escape method, might also be one of the reasons why he couldn't catch up with Su Xiuhang, who was a professional killer...
Jiang Wang turned around with the Tianqing Cloud Sheep in his hand and saw Zhu Biqiong's red eyes.
"You owe me a favor," Zhu Biqiong said directly.
She was a girl who couldn't hide her emotions, and it was rare for her to wait until Xizi Chu left before speaking. Jiang Wang certainly didn't feel uncomfortable, let alone deny it.
If it weren't for her help, relying solely on Su Xiuhang wouldn't have been enough to stop Hu Shaomeng.
"What do you want?" Jiang Wang asked.
"Help me kill Hu Shaomeng!" Zhu Biqiong gritted her teeth and said, "He's the one who harmed my sister."
Jiang Wang condensed wood energy in his hand and used the green vine to wrap up the Tianqing Cloud Sheep, then put it in his arms."Dugu Xiao!"
He called Xiaoxiao, "You wanted to work with me, right? I'll temporarily leave the mine to you. You handle the aftermath and appease the miners' emotions. Make Hu in charge cooperate with you."
Then he said to Zhang Hai, "You handle matters related to the Transcendents. If you can't handle it, wait for me to come back."
With just these two sentences, he turned around with his sword.
After a big battle, it was time to sort out the gains and digest them. Everything else should be put aside for now.
But whether it was outside the mine attacking the Pig Bone Face or intercepting Hu Shaomeng in front of the mine, Zhu Biqiong had made some sacrifices. It could be said that she risked her life.
Jiang Wang had promised her this favor himself.
When she made this request at this time, there was no room for discussion. He had to fulfill it.
"Are you leaving now?" Zhu Biqiong asked anxiously, "I'll go with you."
"If you come with me to kill someone, it will only slow us down. Stay at the mine. After the big battle, people's hearts will inevitably be unsettled. Zhang Hai alone may not be able to handle it. You staying here is helping me," Jiang Wang said.
Intentionally or unintentionally, Jiang Wang glanced forward and took the Mirage Pearl from Zhu Biqiong's hand, and continued, "I will bring back Hu Shaomeng's head for you."
Under the gluttonous power of the Pig Bone Face, Zhang Hai had no power to resist and could only endure the pain of being torn apart. But it was this useless and decadent Xiang Qian who, in the violent tearing force, rooted his feet to the ground.
He had indeed hidden himself well, but he couldn't hide in that situation. Of course, he couldn't escape Jiang Wang's eyes that were always focused on the battlefield.
But Xiang Qian only hid his strength and didn't show any other intentions or conspiracies. Everyone has their own secrets, and Jiang Wang is not someone who can't tolerate others having secrets.
That glance was both a reminder and a warning.
...
Running on the official road, raising a cloud of dust like a dragon.
Jiang Wang ran fast while pondering.
There were too many clues left by Hu Shaomeng in the recent battle.
The grass bowed its head, as if in contemplation. When this Dao reached its peak, it might be able to directly trace people or events that had left an impression in memory, without the need for other clues.
But for now, limited by the grade of the Dao Platform, it couldn't be deduced to a higher level.
The direction the grass bowed its head was Qingyang Town.
It was consistent with Jiang Wang's own speculation.
From Hu Shaomeng's perspective, Jiang Wang had already taken the Tianqing Cloud Sheep and obtained the final harvest, so there was no reason to chase after Hu Shaomeng.
And Xizi Chu would soon arrive at the mine, and there would be a battle between them.
Whether it was to rest in Qingyang Town, pack up resources and prepare to move the whole family, it should be safe during this time.
The dilapidated official road was soon crossed, and Jiang Wang, who had been here before, was familiar with the way and went straight to the Hu Mansion.
There were several carriages parked outside the gate, and many servants were busy coming and going, carrying things.
Having offended both the Chongxuan Family and the Xi Family, unless he kowtowed and begged for forgiveness and obtained forgiveness, it would be impossible for him to stay in Yang Country, and there was no way out in Qi Country either. Judging from the situation of the Hu Family, they should have already prepared to move to the nearby archipelago.
Jiang Wang didn't talk to these people much, and went straight into the courtyard with his sword.
"I'm here to find Hu Shaomeng. Life and death are up to me, so everyone else should stay away," Jiang Wang said.
The awe that ordinary people had for Transcendent cultivators had long been deeply rooted. Seeing Jiang Wang's imposing manner, no one dared to resist and put down what they were holding, rushing out like refugees.
The courtyard was empty.
There was only one slightly fat old man sitting dejectedly on the steps in front of the hall. His eyes were lifeless, much older than when Jiang Wang last saw him.
Everyone had already left, and he seemed to have just realized it.
He raised his head blankly, looked at Jiang Wang who came with killing intent, but didn't say a word, as if he had become dumb.
"Where is Hu Shaomeng?" Jiang Wang asked him.
"Jiang Wang, you have already taken the Tianqing Cloud Sheep and cut off my finger. Even if I offend you in a thousand ways, it should all be offset!" Hu Shaomeng's angry voice came from the room on the right, and he walked out angrily, hastily bandaging his severed finger, "What else do you want?"
This statement seemed reasonable, but it was actually ridiculous.
There were no simple two-way offsets in the entanglement of grievances. There was no such principle that you could provoke trouble and then define the consequences yourself.
Jiang Wang didn't waste any words and drew his sword directly, approaching Hu Shaomeng.
The cold light flashed like lightning, and Hu Shaomeng's whole person was instantly shattered by the sword energy.
Jiang Wang looked around with his sword, but there was no flesh and blood on the ground. It was just an illusion.
Hu Shaomeng had hidden himself!
Where was he hiding?
Jiang Wang suddenly turned to the side.
Ten steps to the right of Hu Shaomeng's previous position, Hu Shaomeng appeared there.His face turned red, seemingly furious beyond measure, "Jiang Wang! There are limits to what one can do, and there are lines one should not cross. Do you really think my Fishing Sea Tower is easy to bully?"
Jiang Wang remained silent, swinging his sword horizontally, shattering another illusion.
This time, Hu Shaomeng appeared on the other side.
His tone changed again, "You've taken all the advantages, why insist on killing to the last? Heaven leaves a way out, and humans should allow for reincarnation."
Such realistic illusions, emerging endlessly, flickering left and right, were not something a cultivator at the Heavenly Connection Realm could achieve. It completely exceeded the strength he had shown.
Jiang Wang also couldn't sense where Hu Shaomeng's real body was.
His tracking ability had reached its limit in this courtyard, unable to pinpoint a more specific location, and thus was useless in this situation.
However, since he had such a strong illusion technique, he could have easily left without a trace. Why then, did he still linger here, wasting words?
Was he reluctant to leave his father and family, or... was he unable to leave?
Jiang Wang gripped his Longing Sword tightly.
Since he had come alone to hunt down Hu Shaomeng, refusing Zhu Biqiong's company, he naturally had his own confidence.
Although his illusion technique was far inferior to that of a cultivator from the Fishing Sea Tower, the gap was as vast as the difference between clouds and mud.
But illusion technique was not an omnipotent Dao technique.
It had one most core and direct weakness, which was the person who cast the illusion himself!
Jiang Wang rose with his sword.
His body moved like a raging hurricane, his sword danced like a silver snake.
Sword qi surged wildly, the sword whirlwind roared.
In the span of three breaths, he had slashed every corner of this room!
