The Zhao Mansion is on fire!
The Earth Fire spewed forth is actually Spirit Flame. Once it lost control, it spread instantly, igniting and engulfing over a dozen surrounding buildings.
The fire shows signs of getting out of control!
"Fight the fire, fight the fire!"
"Evacuate immediately!"
"Everyone, get up quickly to fight the fire!"
The cries for help from the Zhao family rose one after another.
Even Zhao Xianâs Story was momentarily stunned.
But he quickly reacted, "Forget the fire, capture him, capture him!"
The Zhao family Mansion is lost, it can be rebuilt!
If Li An escapes...
And the Demon Sect comes down on us, the Zhao family will be doomed!
He was anxious, hurriedly rushing out to find the Foundation Establishment experts within the mansion.
"Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, the two of you quickly go after Li An, ignore the fire in the mansion!"
"Second Uncle, activate the great formation to seal Zhao Family Town, let no one leave!"
He looked at the three Foundation Establishment experts in the secret hall, trembling, "If Li An escapes, our Zhao family will face utter destruction, the Demon Sect will annihilate us!"
The three Foundation Establishment expertsâ faces changed drastically.
ââEight years ago, Zhao Xian suddenly returned from a calamity outside. After his return, he displayed extraordinary abilities, leading the Zhao family to defeat many small surrounding families, even aligning themselves with the Hundred Beasts Sect.
Under his leadership, the Zhao family could be said to be invincible.
The three Foundation Establishment experts had always harbored doubts, but since it was beneficial to the Zhao family, no one questioned it.
Now, they instantaneously understood.
Zhao Xianâs ability to escape the disaster from the Profound Yang Sectâs Demon Sect back then was not due to luck.
But because he... allied with the Demon Sect?
"Alright!"
The three Foundation Establishment experts understood the gravity of the situation, setting off immediately.
Zhao Xian also hurriedly took a team of elite forces, rushing out of Zhao Mansionââ
"Be cautious, Li An might alter his appearance, be careful!"
"Yes, Iâve heard someone shouting that he escaped appearing as the Patriarch."
The pursuit became the most important theme.
And without the elite forces of the family to stop it, the spewing Earth Fire seemed unchecked and engulfed the entire Zhao family...
...
After Li An rushed out of the Zhao Mansion, he maneuvered skillfully, slapping a Tier Two Swift Movement Talisman onto himself.
Having stayed in Zhao Family Town for several months, he was already familiar with the surrounding terrain and within moments, he reached the south of the town.
There is a river to the south of the town.
At this moment, the entire Tier Two formation had been activated, with a Foundation Establishment expert from the Zhao family presiding over the formation in the sky, sealing everything.
Without hesitation, Li An released another Tier Two Talisman!
A gap was torn from the inside out of the great formation.
Li An rushed out.
"South of the town, quick pursuitâheâs out of the formation!"
The Foundation Establishment expert in the sky changed color, pointing in the direction and chasing after.
The three Foundation Establishment experts closed in, along with Zhao Xian personally leading a team of elite Late-Stage Qi Refining experts.
After rushing out of the formation, Li An released the third Tier Two Swift Movement Talisman, simultaneously leaving a Tier Two Bursting Talisman on the spot.
He had just left.
The Foundation Establishment experts had already arrived.
Boom!
The Bursting Talisman exploded directly.
"Be careful!"
The three shouted, various magical artifacts lit up, and their mana fluctuated intensely, easily suppressing the talisman, continuing the chase.
"Be wary of other traps he might have set, use Divine Sense firstâ"
A Foundation Establishment expert spoke, but after just a few steps, they suddenly cried out in pain!
"Ahâ"
Their Divine Senses seemed to have been severely impacted by something.
"A Tier Two Thunder Shock Talisman?!"
Their expressions drastically changed, anger flaring up, forcefully suppressing the pain in their brains, continuing the charge forward.
"Boom!"
An even more terrifying fluctuation came suddenly, as four Bursting Talismans exploded simultaneously.
Their eyes showed a tinge of dread and fear, hastily retreating, while their Protective Treasures shimmered brightly.
They remained largely unharmed, only their aura slightly disturbed.
"This youngster, so vicious!"
An expertâs face turned sour, "Be careful, keep chasing!"
It was impossible to give up, but all three felt a creeping wariness.
This Li An was like a venomous snake!
They barely pursued a short distance before sensing another Thunder Shock Talisman, making them even more wary, cautiously probing as they chased.
Zhao Xian, with a dozen Qi Refining Stage experts, followed closely behind.
They hadnât been chasing for long.
A hundred meters away from where the four Bursting Talismans detonated, in a marsh.
A mud-covered man suddenly leaped out.
Without hesitation, he headed straight for Zhao Family Town!
By now, Xu Family Town was completely chaotic.
As Li An sprinted, he changed his clothes, putting on a casual outfit.
Everyone in Xu Family Town was in panic, he slipped through the streets, quickly spotting the Zhao family engulfed in flames.
The entire Zhao Mansion, neglected, had its flames completely spread, impossible to extinguish.
Especially since this Earth Fire was Spirit Flame, water proving largely ineffective.
Li An searched near Zhao Mansion.
Finally, at South Street, he focused his gazeââ
"Hurry, thereâs still so much we havenât retrieved yet, faster!"
A manager at the eighth level of Qi Refining spoke anxiously, with a pile of storage bags already in front of him.
With Zhao Mansion ablaze, unable to be extinguished, all resources were being salvaged.
Li An pulled out a horn, gently blowing into it.
"Woo woo..."
The sound was deep.
The Qi Refining eighth level manager and those around him suddenly felt dazed.
In their brief daze, crossbow arrows flew in, hitting their necks!
Only the manager had a shining treasure protecting him, but in the next moment, he blinked, and a figure appeared, delivering a heavy punch to his chest. With a miserable cry, he fell to the ground, trying to crawl up, only to have his throat slit by a dagger the next instantâ
Having killed, Li An quickly gathered up the more than twenty storage bags.
Amidst the chaos, Li An dashed towards the north of the town.
With the three Tier Two Foundation Establishment cultivators gone, no one manned the great formation, allowing Li An to come and go with ease!
Leaving Zhao Family Town, he melded into the night, sprinting relentlessly without pause...
Meanwhile.
In the west of town.
Wang Dazhu, carrying Chen Qingling, had already run over ten miles.
He set Chen Qingling down, face full of urgency, "Qingling, why did you shout recklessly? How can Brother An escape now?!"
"Wait here for me, Iâll find him!"
Chen Qingling clutched his arm tightly: "No... Dazhu, donât go!"
"Donât go!"
"Iâve waited eight years, eight years for a chance to leave Zhao Mansion, you canât leave me!"
"Uncle Li is so strong, heâll be fine. If you go back, you might mess things up, you canât go!"
"If you go back, you wonât get out again, you promised my mother youâd take care of me for a lifetime, care for me forever!"
She held on as if clutching a lifeline.
ââWithout Wang Dazhu, a Late-Stage Qi Refining expert, to help, she, at the third level of Qi Refining and wanted by the Zhao family and the Demon Sect, would find survival extremely difficult.
For eight years, Zhao Xian trapped her and her mother in the Zhao Mansion, not allowing them a step outside, and now she finally saw the light of day. She would not destroy her chance at life.
Wang Dazhu anxiously paced on the spot, temporarily lost, stomping in frustration: "I shouldnât have told you I saw Brother An, you deliberately leaked the news to Zhao Xian, lured Brother An in... you used me, you used me!"
"Brother An is the only one in this world who cares about me, and now I got him killed, killed!!"
Tears fell from his eyes.
"No... Dazhu, Iâm the only one in this world who cares about you, stop thinking about it, letâs leave quickly, okay? In the future, weâll live together, have kids, live our life together. From now on, I am yours."
She hugged Wang Dazhu tightly, "I promise, when weâre safe, weâll go find Li An, okay? Then weâll beg him for forgiveness together as a couple!"
Even Wang Dazhu, a tough man, couldnât help but sigh deeply at this moment:
"In my life, there wasnât someone I let down, but now there is!"
"Brother An, Iâm sorry, Iâm sorry!"
He suddenly knelt toward the direction of the Zhao family, solemnly kowtowing three times.
