Chapter 844 Change of plan
"Are all fifth-dan masters this weak these days? Standing here like a target and still unable to hit anything?" Lin Ping had serious doubts about Xing Rima's strength.
Regardless, the enemy's mistake gave Lin Ping an opportunity to escape. He picked up Zhang Yuelu again and ran away.
"Where are we going? Master is still in their hands." Zhang Yuelu clearly didn't want to run away.
If she misses this opportunity, Lin Ping will definitely be more vigilant, and she will truly become a hostage delivered to his door for free.
Moreover, after leaving here, in Lin Ping's eyes, she would be a person without a home, and Lin Ping might take her home and make her feel exhausted every day.
"Your master isn't inside at all," Lin Ping said hurriedly. He had already used X-rays to check the situation inside, and apart from four Nightshade Hall assassins, there was no one else there.
“Nonsense, how do you know Master isn’t inside if you haven’t even gone in? Maybe he’s been tied up by them,” Zhang Yuelu retorted.
This made it difficult for Lin Ping to explain. He couldn't very well say that he had X-ray vision, the kind that was used to secretly watch girls.
Once this secret is revealed, he will probably be beaten to death by millions of women around the world. Even if he doesn't die, he will be fought over by various forces and become a guinea pig for all kinds of research.
Thinking of the scene of his eyes being gouged out, Lin Ping kept shaking his head. This was just too cruel.
Therefore, Lin Ping was not going to explain to her.
“Even if your master has been kidnapped, we should wait until we regain our strength before we come to rescue him,” Lin Ping said, offering a different perspective.
"What if they kill Master?" Zhang Yuelu kept nagging, refusing to leave no matter what.
Lin Ping's face darkened: "Then avenge your master!"
In any case, he would never allow Zhang Yuelu to seek her own death.
Opposition was useless; under Lin Ping's powerful hands, Zhang Yuelu was completely subdued.
As the fastest, Gui Jinyang wanted to stop them, but he was afraid of accidentally hurting Zhang Yuelu.
No one expected that Lin Ping would shamelessly use her as a shield.
"Not planning to chase after them?" Lin Ping walked past these people with ease, which made him feel strange.
"You're not planning to stab me in the back, are you?" Lin Ping said worriedly. He still remembered the time Guo Zhixi shot him from behind like a winged fire serpent.
Thinking of this, Lin Ping felt a chill run down his spine; it was exactly the same feeling he had back then.
He quickly scanned his surroundings with X-rays and, sure enough, spotted a familiar figure deep in the woods, also holding a powerful bow and arrow.
"If I'm not mistaken, he should also be a member of the Vermilion Bird Sect," Lin Ping thought to himself.
He gradually learned about the structure of the Nightmare Palace. In addition to the powerful three palaces, there were five gates, or you could say four gates, since the Xuan Sha Sect had already been destroyed by him.
These four gates are the Azure Dragon Gate, the White Dragon Gate, the Black Tortoise Gate, and the Vermilion Bird Gate.
He had met several people from the Xuanwu Sect when he was in the Wu Kingdom, and not long ago he met the entire Qinglong Sect. The people he was currently with belonged to the Zhuque Sect.
If he wasn't mistaken, the Vermilion Bird Sect should have seven members. Besides these four and the Winged Fire Serpent hiding in the shadows, there were two others who hadn't yet appeared.
"With my strength, I probably wouldn't be able to dodge the Winged Fire Serpent's cold arrows." Lin Ping was well aware of his own limitations.
But he couldn't think of a better way to deal with it than to run away.
He could only speed up, trying to give the Winged Fire Serpent only one chance to fire an arrow.
"Miss Moon Dew, there's a guy named Winged Fire Serpent lurking in the shadows. He might launch a sneak attack that could endanger our lives. You need to concentrate all your energy and try to catch his arrow if possible," Lin Ping said earnestly.
"He can even detect the existence of the Winged Fire Serpent? What powerful perception!" Zhang Yuelu became curious about Lin Ping again.
"Oh no, the Winged Fire Serpent doesn't know the plan has changed yet. I can't possibly catch one of his arrows," Zhang Yuelu said worriedly.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She shouldn't have spared Lin Ping's life in the first place in order to absorb his energy; now she had dug such a huge hole for herself.
"Oh no, that guy's started shooting arrows! Hold on tight, we're going to accelerate!" Lin Ping mobilized all his energy, and a pure white aura emanated from the soles of his feet.
call out!
A cold arrow flew out, chasing after the direction Lin Ping had fled.
"Its speed is no less than my musket!" Lin Ping secretly lamented. He had underestimated the power of the Winged Fire Serpent and was likely to be skewered like a string of candied hawthorns.
"Idiot, didn't you see me behind this kid?" Zhang Yuelu almost cursed, vowing to teach the Winged Fire Serpent a lesson, provided she could leave alive and come back alive.
Whoosh!
A figure flashed by, and Ghost Golden Sheep blocked the arrows and angrily approached the Winged Fire Serpent.
"What are you doing? Why won't you let me kill that kid?" The Winged Fire Serpent said angrily, taking the initiative.
"Kill him? I'm afraid the sect leader will be the first to die!" Gui Jinyang's anger intensified.
"What a joke! The sect leader is at the mid-stage of the fifth level, he'll definitely dodge it. The kid will be the one who dies then," Winged Fire Serpent said confidently.
"If they could have really dodged it, would the sect leader have been taken away by that kid?" Gui Jinyang explained, "Although I don't know what happened to the sect leader, one thing is certain: she was injured, and seriously injured."
The Winged Fire Serpent lowered his head and remained silent, knowing that Ghost Golden Sheep's words made sense.
"So what do we do now?" The group gathered around to discuss their options.
"The best we can do now is to follow them and try to find out where Jing Muxuan is," Gui Jinyang analyzed.
The group nodded in agreement; they couldn't think of a better solution.
On the other hand, Lin Ping looked puzzled. "Weren't they going to kill me? Why did they save me?"
Lin Ping clearly saw that Gui Jin Yang blocked the arrow for him.
"I'm afraid that arrow missed its mark; they didn't want to waste it," Zhang Yuelu explained vaguely.
Lin Ping shook his head, disagreeing with Zhang Yuelu's statement.
"Oh no, have we been found out?" Zhang Yuelu bit her lower lip with her pearly teeth, extremely angry. "That good-for-nothing bastard, he just makes things worse for me!"
"It's because they're afraid of my speed; they know they can't catch up with this arrow, so they don't want to waste it," Lin Ping said, feeling quite pleased with himself.
Hearing this, Zhang Yuelu finally felt relieved and tried her best to cooperate, saying, "That's right, you are indeed very fast."
About fifteen minutes later, Lin Ping found no trace of the enemy within a kilometer, and only then did he feel at ease enough to rest.
"Miss Yuelu, besides your master, do you have any other relatives? Why don't I take you home?" Lin Ping continued to ask.
Zhang Yuelu hesitated for a moment, then suddenly showed a disappointed expression. She shook her head and said, "Besides my master, I have nowhere else to go."
As she spoke, Zhang Yuelu blinked, her beautiful eyes welling up with tears.
"Don't cry, you'll ruin your makeup and won't look pretty!" Lin Ping quickly comforted her. "How about this, you come home with me first."
