Chapter 1359: Chapter 1358: Chen Tianlong Captured
At this moment, Chen Tianlong ignored Protector Li’s words and instead swung his sword towards the direction of Wu Mengting. Instantly, the men in black surrounding her fell to the ground.
Chen Tianlong urgently shouted, "Mengting, run quickly, go find your father, Wu Jian."
Wu Mengting saw that Chen Tianlong had already been captured, and tears welled up in her eyes. But remembering what Chen Tianlong had said to her before, she gritted her teeth and darted onto the empty street.
When the men in black were about to give chase, they suddenly heard a voice.
"Don’t bother chasing her, our task is complete, as for that little girl, don’t worry about her," Protector Li shouted.
The men in black stopped chasing and returned to surround Chen Tianlong, who was then captured in a large net and heavily surrounded by a group of people, soon bound and taken back to the Wolfman Race headquarters.
Xu Fei was very pleased to hear this news and quickly went to the hall, sitting high on a tiger chair.
"Chen Tianlong, I’ve finally captured you, let’s see how you’ll escape this time. The Dragon Slayer Sword ultimately is in my hands," Xu Fei gleefully mocked, the sword in hand.
"Heh, now that it’s in your hands, do as you wish—kill or chop me, but even if you kill me, the people of Ice City won’t let you go." Chen Tianlong threatened with an air of Ice City behind him.
After all, Fang Yan had threatened Xu Fei before and knew Fang Yan’s power, so this threat might be worthwhile. In truth, Chen Tianlong was only thinking of entering the Wolfman Race to find Xu Fei’s Dragon Ball.
"Haha, Ice City, I almost forgot. If it weren’t for Fang Yan messing up the Black Alliance back then, my Elder Wu wouldn’t have died, and I wouldn’t need to go through all this. If he dares to come, I’ll settle the score with him properly."
Xu Fei, his Divine Skill nearing completion, spoke with arrogance.
"Hmph, just wait and see, my master won’t let you off, and once those at Shaolin Temple hear the news, they’ll rush to the Wolfman Race palace immediately unless you kill me now, otherwise, you’re in for trouble."
Chen Tianlong fearlessly glared at Xu Fei and said fiercely.
"Wahaha, once that dead monk comes, I’ll catch them all in one net and send you all together on your way." Finishing his words, Xu Fei ordered Chen Tianlong to be taken away and locked in a cell...
Outside Capital City.
On the way to Good Sword Manor, the weather was gloomy. Wu Mengting, having run a long way, turned back to find the enemies were not chasing, so she slowed her pace and sat under a large tree to rest.
Having walked for half a day, Wu Mengting’s legs were weary and sore. She gently massaged her calves to relax them.
"Chen Tianlong, I promised you I would find father to rescue you."
Wu Mengting kept thinking, but couldn’t hold back her sadness. Having been used to being with Chen Tianlong, she now felt lonely being alone, bringing her mood down.
After resting for a while, Wu Mengting stood up again, feeling dizzy seeing the distant mountainous terrain. After two days on the road, she finally reached the foot of the Assassin Group. Hungry and thirsty, she fainted while walking.
At that moment, a subordinate returning from the mountain saw a young girl unconscious nearby and quickly ran over. Seeing she had fainted, he carried her up the mountain.
Before long, they arrived at Good Sword Manor, where Wu Jian was leading his servants in sword practice. Suddenly seeing a subordinate carrying someone, everyone gathered around.
"Daughter?"
Wu Jian immediately recognized her, slightly surprised, "Mengting, what happened? Don’t scare your father like this."
Wu Mengting opened her eyes to see a group of people staring at her, initially startling her, but calmed down upon hearing a familiar voice.
"Mengting, it’s me, father."
Wu Jian smiled at her as he helped her sit upright.
"Father, hurry to rescue Chen Tianlong."
Thinking of Chen Tianlong, Wu Mengting couldn’t help but shed tears.
"Mengting, calm down and tell me clearly what happened."
Wu Jian, seeing his daughter agitated, hurried to calm her.
Wu Mengting nodded, then recounted the incident’s details. After listening, Wu Jian frowned and said, "Xu Fei, that demon, is a scourge and surely our nemesis."
"Father, you must save Chen Tianlong, that devil captured him, who knows how he is now," Wu Mengting said anxiously, thinking of the despicable Xu Fei.
"Hmm, Mengting, rest assured, Chen Tianlong is my son-in-law; how could I ignore his plight?" Wu Jian pondered and continued, "But it’s said the Capital City area is controlled by the Wolfman Race headquarters. If we rashly go there, it’s like throwing an egg against a rock, so we must come up with a plan."
With that, Wu Jian frowned, thinking, "I wonder if Master Void can emerge from seclusion this time; otherwise, I really have no confidence to defeat Xu Fei, even Chen Tian feels pressured, indicating Xu Fei has grown very strong."
Thinking of this, he decided to discuss it with Master Void, given the seriousness of Chen Tianlong’s life or death. After settling Wu Mengting, Wu Jian hastened to Shaolin Temple and arrived at the stone gate where Master Void was in seclusion.
"Wu Jian pays respects to the Master, aware that disturbing the Master is a grave sin, but this time I have urgent matters to discuss about Chen Tianlong’s life and death." Wu Jian respectfully attempted to convey the truth.
Suddenly, the door creaked open, and Master Void slowly walked out, furrowing his brow, taking a deep breath, and said, "It’s fate; previously, I divined that a demonic star will arise, threatening not only Chen Tianlong but also leaving the nation in peril—people are in jeopardy!"
"Master, what do you mean by this?" Wu Jian asked, puzzled.
"The national army is in retreat, the royal family in turmoil, treacherous ministers at the helm, making life unbearable for the people. As the Outer Border army withdraws, Sabina Country’s forces take the opportunity to invade; the nation faces great danger." Master Void, having never left home, yet knowing the world’s affairs, revealed.
"So, Master, what do you suggest?"
Wu Jian, having grasped Master Void’s implication, merely wanted confirmation.
"Wu Jian, lead the Shaolin disciples downhill to the Capital City. Leave enough disciples to guard the position; I will follow shortly." After giving the orders, Master Void returned to the cave once more.
Receiving the orders, Wu Jian immediately led the Shaolin disciples swiftly towards the Capital City.
A day later, they reached the destination by night, arranging accommodations, before Wu Jian, with three Shaolin disciples, infiltrated the Wolfman Race headquarters.
The Wolfman Race headquarters was quiet, probably due to the late hour, only the dim corridor lights were on.
After sneaking in, the four searched all around for the location of the cells, but after a long search, having scoured almost all the cells, they did not find any trace of Chen Tianlong.
They regrouped in the courtyard, but suddenly, the courtyard lights blazed on, revealing many men in black surrounding them, holding torches. In the center of the courtyard was a circular platform with a cross, and under the sudden lights, Chen Tianlong, tied to it and clearly whipped, his face covered with wounds, became apparent.
Seeing Chen Tianlong so beaten, Wu Jian felt a pang of heartache, which only fueled his anger further.
