The small inn was filled with hostility.
Terrified by the strength of Tian Yao's attack just then, the Chen Xing Mountain's disciples didn't immediately make a move. Yan Hui stood, hand clutching her stomach, by Tian Yao across the disciples. She swept her gaze over their faces. She stopped at Zi Chen. She paused and then murmured to Tian Yao: "How much inner breath do you have left after attacking Ling Fei?"
"None."
Yan Hui grew solemn when she heard Tian Yao's words. She only said: "In a few moments, I'm going to stall them. You leave." She took a step forward, but her collar was seized from behind.
"Come back." Tian Yao's voice was calm. He lightly glanced upstairs: "We can leave together."
Zhu Li had been watching from up there behind a pillar the entire time. Their eyes met. Zhu Li's gaze deepened and he stepped out.
The old servant behind Zhu Li wanted to grab him back, but Zhu Li shook off his hand. When the servant saw Zhu Li reaching to unsheathe the jian tied at his waist, the servant anxiously pressed Zhu Li's hand back down. He clenched his teeth and looked down at the disciples His eyes gleamed red and in a split second, his wrinkle-lined face became sinister.
At the same time, Zi Chen suddenly turned his head to look upstairs: "Demon magic!"
A pale fog immediately exploded from where Zhu Li and the old servant stood. In a few short moments, the fog filled the entire inn. In the chaos, Ling Fei's pain-filled yet calm voice shouted out from the midst where the disciples stood: "Don't panic. Get in position."
At that time, Yan Hui felt a pressure on her wrist. She turned her head to look. It was that kid who was a head shorter than her, Zhu Li, who was holding onto her wrist: "Come with me."
There was no time for Yan Hui to respond when she heard the surrounding wind start to whistle. In a blink of an eye, the fog in front of her started to curl. The wind screamed.
Yan Hui was stepping on something soft. She looked down. She wasn't standing on a cloud nor a sword, but rather it was a soft grey pelt.
Zhu Li said by her side: "Don't worry. Uncle Zhao is fast. Those people won't be able to catch up. We will definitely be able to leave safely."
Only then did Yan Hui realized she was standing on the back of an enormous fox demon.
She didn't have time to relax when she tensed up again: "Where's Tian Yao?" She flusteredly looked around for him only to discover he was already tranquilly sitting down behind her. His eyes were closed, and he was regulating his inner breath.
Tian Yao looked up when he heard Yan Hui's call. He didn't say a word, but it was enough for Yan Hui's expression to relax back down.
