At first, Shi Yu hadnât paid much attention, but after a moment, she felt a sense of familiarity.
Upon closer reflection, Shi Yu remembered, wasnât that Ye Luo?
Shi Yuâs heart was filled with inexplicable emotions. In fact, ever since she was abducted, she had thought of countless possibilities but couldnât figure out who would come to save her.
In this city, Shi Yu had no relatives, and truly close friends were almost nonexistent!
It wasnât that Shi Yu didnât want friends. In fact, she had sincerely tried to connect with others countless times, only to find the results less than ideal.
Men? Many were merely coveting Shi Yuâs beauty.
Women? Unfortunately, most women also approached Shi Yu with various ulterior motives.
As for why?
The reason was quite simpleâthese people looked down on Shi Yu, thinking she was just a country girl who, aside from being attractive, had nothing worthy of their attention!
But precisely because she was attractive, it also made them exceedingly jealous of Shi Yu!
If it werenât for her parents, Shi Yu would have long left that dirty circle. Fortunately, Shi Yu knew Shi Yanran, who treated Shi Yu as a friend. This had allowed her to maintain her innocence until now.
From the moment she was abducted, Shi Yu had actually given up.
Because Shi Yu felt that no one would come back to save her, nor could anyone save her!
This time, Shi Yu was abducted in front of her biggest support, Shi Yanran; she understood that these people were those who even dared to offend Shi Yanran.
It was only now, at this moment when Ye Luo appeared, that Shi Yuâs heart, which had never beaten for any man, beat for the first time!
And it was so intense, so irresistibly strong!
Shi Yu stared intently at the rearview mirror, a myriad of thoughts surfacing in her heart. She wanted Ye Luo to save her because she didnât want to become someone elseâs plaything, didnât want to accept a pathetic fate.
But she also didnât want Ye Luo to come to her rescue because she was worried about him being in danger!
Sadly, no matter what Shi Yu was thinking, there was no way to convey it to Ye Luo.
At this moment, Ye Luo had already locked on the target, knowing that Shi Yu was in the car ahead, so he naturally did not hesitate to chase after her.
"Senior brother, that guy seems to be coming for us, why donât you let me have some fun?"
In the car, a disciple from the Corpse King Palace looked at Ye Luo with a smile, using his strength to gauge Ye Luoâs cultivation level, and still believed Ye Luo was merely an ordinary person.
While speaking, the disciple pulled out a handgun from his chest and stuck his head out the window, ready to fire a shot and finish off Ye Luo.
Shi Yu saw all of this, but lamentably, she was utterly helpless.
"Bang!" A gunshot rang out, a sound of despair for Shi Yu. She even closed her eyes, tears trickling from the corner of her eyes, believing Ye Luo had died for her.
But just then, laughter and cursing came from inside the car.
"Haha, I told you, junior brother, we brothers have told you, the trinkets of ordinary mortals are useless, you just wouldnât believe it. Now you do, right? This handgun is absolutely useless!"
"How is that possible? I clearly hit him, but that guy seems to be unharmed!"
The Junior Brother was utterly perplexed, unable to fathom what this was all about.
He had no idea that Ye Luo by now was not at all afraid of bullets from ordinary handguns.
Let alone ordinary handguns, even high-caliber sniper rifles couldnât trouble Ye Luo.
It wasnât just the protection of his body armor, but also because Ye Luo had obtained a trace of the Divine Dragon bloodline from the Dragon Scales, which had unknowingly once again strengthened Ye Luoâs body!
The bullet indeed hit Ye Luo, because he simply couldnât be bothered to dodge.
While the Corpse King Palace disciples were chatting idly, Ye Luo had already caught up.
The Corpse King Palace disciple who had previously fired the shot was quite annoyed and shouted at Ye Luo, "Kid, scram quickly! Today youâre lucky that I donât want to make a move a second time; your dogâs life is spared. Leave immediately! Stop dangling in front of me, otherwise, if I blow your brains out with one shot later, donât blame me!"
The disciple shook the handgun in his hand, convinced of his own importance.
Unfortunately, in Ye Luoâs eyes, his demeanor was nothing but that of a clown.
Ye Luo reached out and grabbed the Corpse King Palace discipleâs hand, and with a pull, he had already dragged the man, along with the car door, right out, and without hesitation, Ye Luo then hurled the disciple towards the roadside.
Accompanied by a scream, the other Corpse King Palace disciples in the van were startled awake, but by then they realized that the one pursuing them was by no means an ordinary person. Sadly, was it not a little too late to realize this?
Ye Luoâs figure moved, and he had jumped onto the van. In less than half a minute, all the Corpse King Palace disciples in the van had been kicked out by Ye Luo, and he immediately picked up Shi Yu and jumped onto the motorcycle!
The driverless van directly flew out, but Ye Luo didnât even spare it a second glance.
Because Ye Luo was very clear that there might be something more attention-grabbing going on in Taiping City than this car accident.
Taiping City, this quiet city situated at the foot of Mount Tai, was no longer peaceful.
The large contingent from the Special Security Agency was on the way, and even the nearby military had already entered Taiping City.
Because someone had recognized that information.
Even though Bai Yi had only sent back a very small part of the information to the headquarters of the Special Security Agency, it already caused a tremendous shock.
"What, the Corpse King Palace has appeared in Taiping City? Is this, is this information reliable?"
Elder Shi listened to the report on the phone, his eyes filled with a horrified look.
"The information is extremely reliable, because this was personally handled by Ye Luo, and the base of the Corpse King Palace was also personally destroyed by him!"
"Damn it, damn it, itâs the Corpse King Palace, theyâve actually reemerged. Quickly, gather all the forces we can muster, urgently support Taiping City. In addition, notify the Hidden Sect and all the big family clans, tell them the Corpse King Palace has started to become active again!"
...
"What, the Corpse King Palace is causing trouble again? How, how is this possible, wasnât the Corpse King Palace already exterminated by Sheng Tianyang? Even if there are some remnants, havenât we been continuously hunting them down for a century? How could they possibly still have such formidable strength!"
The Sect Master of the Sword Sect was immensely shocked, the name Corpse King Palace was second only to Sheng Tianyang.
Looking back to the years before Sheng Tianyang appeared, the Corpse King Palace was extremely arrogant, and even the entire Hidden Sect had to submit!
But later, the Holy Sky Alliance exterminated the Corpse King Palace, and so the powers within the Hidden Sect always believed that the Corpse King Palace had long been extinct!
After that, they completely sealed off any news of the Corpse King Palace; one could say that nowadays, very few people in the Hidden Sect and the secular world know of the Corpse King Palace.
But those who did know could not help but feel a subconscious chill at the mention of the name!
