Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ling Yun was a pill cultivator. A regular herb that fell into his hands would turn into a pill that was hundreds to thousands of times stronger compared to other pill cultivators. This was something unquestionable.

While waiting for the Shichiyou Pill, Ling Yun created dozens of talismans. This included the Fire Talisman, Healing Talisman, Gold Talisman, Defense Talisman, etc. On average, they were Level Five. Furthermore, out of the goodness of his heart, he even attempted to create dozens of Heart Cleansing Talismans. He succeeded easily in those as well.

Ling Yun stored ten bundles of each type of talisman for his own use. He then gave some of the remaining talismans to Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu to distribute to their close family and friends. He told the two to inform them how to use the talismans and how they should be used only to protect or save themselves.

“Xiaohu, while I’m not around, stay here and focus on your cultivation. Try and breakthrough to Houtian Realm Level Seven as fast as you can and protect the three herbs in the courtyard. You have one job! Understand?”

The Heaven Yang Grass, Earth Yin Grass, and Dragon Saliva Herb were Ling Yun’s babies. He had to make sure that Tie Xiaohu understood how to take care of them.

Tie Xiaohu nodded solemnly, indicating that he understood.

After everything was in place, Ling Yun told Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu to leave. He returned to the living room in Mansion Number One alone, sitting there as he mused quietly.

After a long time, Ling Yun called Kong Xiuru, Xu Bingyan, and the others. He told them that he had to leave Qingshui City for some time and not to worry about him.

On that night, Ling Yun drove to meet Cui Lao. After they had dinner, they began their discussion.

...

Outside Qingshui City, 20km away in the darkness, a dark-colored luxury car was driving at full speed. The accelerator was all the way down as it sped wildly towards Qingshui City!

Anyone who was used to driving would have known that the car was speeding faster than 200 miles per hour.

At this speed, they would arrive in Qingshui City in seven to eight minutes. However, three minutes later, the car began to decelerate. Finally, it slowed to a stop.

A figure that was dressed in military attire emerged from the car. Firstly, he turned his head to look at the highway behind him. Then, he looked to his sides and suddenly lowered his body aggressively. In an instant, he dashed into the forest nearby, abandoning his luxury car. He sprinted towards Qingshui City with all his might, fast as lightning!

This person was an expert that was at least at the pinnacle of Houtian Realm Level Eight!

Via the bright yellow moonlight, one could see that this was a young man that was around 21 or 22. He stood at a height of 180 centimeters and had impressive stature. His appearance was beautiful as he had thick eyebrows and large eyes. His eyes sparkled like stars, and his nose was as sharp as a knife. He pursed his lips tightly. However, his body and his face were smeared with blood. In fact, his military attire was tattered in various spots. Some spots even revealed his flesh. His tight muscles were revealed, they bulged up beautifully!

After this young man withdrew into the forest, he began sprinting without a second thought. He didn’t even wince at the twigs and leaves that pierced at him. There was only one thing on his mind — to escape!

After a minute, a similarly extravagant silver luxury car sped over from the highway. Inside, the driver saw the black luxury car that was stopped by the road. He was left stunned for a moment. One of the passengers laughed coldly. “Aha, Paul, did you see that? Didn’t I say that there was only so much gas left in that car and that he definitely wouldn’t make it to Qingshui City? What’s with that? Am I right?” His voice was cold and piercing.

A foreigner!

“Then what are you waiting for? Why don’t you pull over and take a look now? Our prey is about to enter Qingshui City!” That man named Paul replied coldly, “If we can’t catch our prey soon, Master will blame us. When the time comes, we won’t even dream of tasting fresh blood anymore!”

This voice was equally cold and piercing. It sounded like it could send chills down another person’s back, causing one’s hair to stand up.

“Why are you in such a rush? I can’t believe you even considered drinking fresh blood. Have you forgotten the power of our Blood Clan? Even at a distance of 2km, I can still smell the scent of our prey’s blood...”

The third person seemed to have said nothing. The silver-gray luxury car pulled over next to the black luxury car. He was the first one to fly out of the car. Using his nose to take a few sniffs, he quickly stuck out his red tongue and licked his lips.

He was another foreigner and had a large figure and blue eyes. His nose was tall, and he had distinct features that emphasized his beauty. However, his complexion seemed especially white. On such a hot day, he actually wore a black tuxedo.

“Jim, have you found traces of our prey?” Paul flew out of the car as well. He also had a pale complexion and wore a similar tuxedo that gave off a strong gentlemanly feel. He was faster than any other as his figure flashed across the luxury car, appearing next to Jim.

“I found it. He’s in the forest 3km away, escaping in that direction...” Jim licked his lips once more.

“Chester, you take the wheel. We’ll chase after our prey. Please do drive a little faster. At least catch up to us!”

Paul spoke to Chester, who was seated in the passenger seat. Without thinking twice, he rushed straight into the forest as he followed the path that the young man took. He ran very quickly, his speed obviously faster than that young man!

Jim rushed headfirst into the forest and soon caught up to Paul. The two of them didn’t feel a single prick from the twigs and thorns below their feet. They were only concerned with moving forward and were even faster than Chester’s car!

Chester cursed as he drove. “Oh, d*mn. Why am I always the one driving...”

In front of him, the handsome young man ran at full speed. He now held a military blade in his hands. His right hand swerved wildly as he sliced open a path in front of him. He could only hope to move a little faster, just a little more!

He was only 5km away. With his current speed, he would reach Qingshui City in five or six minutes. When that time came, he would definitely be a lot safer.

As he sprinted through the forest, the handsome young man’s face and eyes were thoroughly scratched up. Blood flowed into his eyes, forcing him to blink non-stop. For a moment, he couldn’t see the path before him clearly as his vision continued to blur.

Grandpa, Father, Mother, Shanshan, wait for me! I’ll definitely find Ling Yun and save all of you! Our Cao Family won’t be exterminated like this!

Cao Tianlong!

He was indeed Cao Tianlong. He lost all communication with his family long ago and felt that the situation was strange. When the Dragon Boat Festival came around, Cao Tianlong took leave to visit his family. After he returned home, he realized something strange — everyone acted especially cold towards him. This made chills run down his spine. Luckily, he had brought a few comrades with him. Since it was still daytime, nobody bullied him, and he found an excuse to take his comrades and escape.

The Cao Family was invaded by the Blood Clan and was being controlled by them!

Family? He couldn’t find them! Squad? He couldn’t return!

Because of this, the entire lineage of the Cao Family could be wiped! They would be eliminated instantly!

Cao Tianlong thought this through thoroughly. However, he couldn’t think of any way to save the Cao Family. Finally, he remembered Ling Yun!

Cao Tianlong remembered that when Cao Shanshan returned home a second time, she mentioned that Ling Yun had many strange abilities. Furthermore, his medical skills were second to none. He could treat any illness at all!

However, Cao Shanshan had never mentioned Ling Yun’s realm before. Cao Tianlong thought about it for a while. For some reason, the Cao Family had been taken over by the Blood Clan. They were under their complete control. His only option was to find Ling Yun and have him use his godly medical skills, bring lots of people in, then cure everyone in the Cao Family. Thus, Cao Tianlong came to Qingshui City!

Cao Tianlong sent all his comrades home. For something like this, it wasn’t something they could interfere with because this was far too terrifying.

Cao Tianlong escaped with one thought in mind, to get to Qingshui City. Finally, he arrived at the outskirts of Qingshui City. When he was 10km away, his car ran out of gas. That was when his final escape began. Qingshui City was his goal!

Cao Tianlong didn’t know how to contact Ling Yun, he only knew that Ling Yun lived in Qingshui City’s Qingxi Villa District’s Mansion Number One. After he entered Qingshui City, the Blood Clan definitely couldn’t hunt him down so openly since they wanted to stay under the radar. He could figure out what to do after he found Ling Yun.

However, just as Cao Tianlong was about to head onto the swirling highway, he heard an icy-cold shout. “Are you still planning to run? How about you return with us... What’s so bad about becoming a part of the Blood Clan? At the very least, you can live for a very, very long time...”

Before the owner of the voice finished his words, he drew close, appearing before him. At this moment, Cao Tianlong knew that he was in great danger. Turning around aggressively, he only saw another descendant of the Blood Clan appear behind him. Without hesitation, Cao Tianlong pulled his military blade out, executing a vicious slash!

“Hua!”

In an instant, the military blade pierced through Jim’s tuxedo, stabbing into his pale-white, bloodless chest. The sharp military blade didn’t disappoint Cao Tianlong. With one stab, he pierced straight into his chest!

However, Jim’s eyes remained ice-cold as his lips curled lightly. He pulled the military blade out casually, tossing it aside.

Not a single drop of blood flowed out from his chest, and soon, the wound recovered completely.

Cao Tianlong was massively shocked. He began running desperately again. Looking at the junction before him, he realized there was a gas station that was still brightly lit. There, a car was refilling its gas.

Seeing this, Cao Tianlong celebrated quietly. Turning around again, he pulled out a military pistol. Without hesitation, Cao Tianlong aimed at Jim and Paul, who were by his side. “Bang, bang, bang...” Firing multiple shots at once, the sound of gunfire exploded. Under the starry night sky, the sound pierced through miles!

The bullets slowed Jim and Paul a little. Cao Tianlong finally had a shred of hope. He slipped out of the thick forest, using all his energy as he emerged on the swirling highway. Then, the tips of Cao Tianlong’s feet touched the ground. In the next instant, he appeared in the gas station. Ignoring the employee at the gas station who was shocked by the thunderous gunshot sound, he squirmed into the car. Stepping on the gas, he sped away!

Paul and Jim extracted the bullets in their bodies with their hands. Their gazes remained cold as they remained in the forest.

At that moment, the security camera at the gas station was running. It captured Cao Tianlong’s figure as he stole the car.
