Chapter 27: Difficult to Escape with Wings

  In the grand hall of the Qin residence, an eerie silence filled the air, with only two people inside.

  Qin Wannian sat upright in the armchair, his eyes closed, lost in thought. Liu Xiangtian sat beside him, fidgeting restlessly, his expression changing constantly.

  At this moment, his mind was extremely contradictory, and for a while, he found it difficult to make a choice. He could understand Qin Wannian's feelings and see the turmoil hidden beneath his calm expression.

  However, this does not mean that he will watch Qin Wannian intercept Du Feiyun with his eyes open. He also finds it difficult to decide who to help.

  "Let him go, this has nothing to do with you. I hope you don't interfere. Otherwise, you know the consequences..."

  Qin Wannian, who had been keeping his eyes closed all along, finally spoke up, breaking the silence in the room, but making Liu Xiangtian's face even more embarrassed.

  "Older brother Wan, actually this matter..."

  As soon as Liu Xiangtian opened his mouth, Qin Wannian raised his palm and interrupted him: "Alright, you don't need to persuade me, you can leave now."

  Upon hearing this, Liu Xiang Tian knew that his mind was made up. Since saying more would be of no use, he could only stand up and leave.

  Liu Xiangtian had just stepped out of the threshold when a figure rushed past him, brushing shoulders with him. It was the head of the guards who had been slapped into a persimmon face by Qin Wannian.

  The leader of the guards immediately came to the main hall, bowed and reported to Qin Wan Nian: "Sir, our men found Du Fei Yun's trail at Bei Zhen Kou, he and his family of three are fleeing north."

  As soon as the words fell, Qin Wannian, who had been closing his eyes all along, suddenly opened them, raised his sword-like eyebrows, and stood up abruptly.

  "Notify everyone, capture any one of Du Feiyun's family of three, and reward with a thousand taels of silver. However, I want them alive!"

  As soon as he finished speaking, the leader of the guards turned around and rushed out to pass on the order. Qin Wannian swept his sleeve, and his figure flew out of the Qin Mansion, rushing northward all the way.

  …………

  To the due north of Baishi Town, there is a wide road one zhang wide that winds its way through the mountains and leads all the way to the north to Qianjiang City.

  At this time, there were three figures hastily running on the main road, heading north. Apparently, these three people were Du Feiyun and his family, who Qin Wannian was desperately searching for.

  "Mother, sister, let's hurry up a bit. As long as we get past the mountain pass ahead, if we take that small path, it will be much safer."

  Du Feiyun supported Du Shi, with one hand pulling Du Huanqing, and quickly rushed forward. However, Du Shi's body was too weak, usually needing to rely on a cane, and couldn't hurry at this moment.

  Half an hour ago, Du Feiyun launched a massacre in the Qin Mansion and rescued his mother and sister, temporarily escaping danger.

  Now that he has committed a capital offense and made an irreconcilable enemy of the Qin family, Du Feiyun knew that White Stone Town was no longer a place where he could stay. Otherwise, his entire family would be torn to pieces by the enraged Qin Wannian.

  He almost immediately took his mother and sister north out of Baishi Town to hide in Qianjiang City.

  However, before leaving Baishi Town, he rushed back home as quickly as possible to retrieve the over 1,000 taels of silver notes from his house and put them on himself.

  He deeply understood the importance of money, and being penniless made every step extremely difficult, especially since he was also fleeing with his mother and sister.

  What's more, he also took out the purple jade pendant that his mother had pawned that year and wore it on him. He had redeemed this jade pendant from a pawnshop with silver tickets a month ago.

  That year, he was ten years old. His mother pawned the purple ring she had always worn and used the money to buy a tonic that allowed him to give birth to his yuanqi seed and set foot on the path of cultivation.

  He had always kept this in mind and secretly vowed to redeem the purple ring one day, because he knew that there must be some secret hidden in this purple ring.

  Today he is about to leave Baishi Town, and perhaps he will never be able to come back, so he went to retrieve the purple ring.

  In this way, another quarter of an hour was wasted, so that by now they had only escaped a few miles from Baishi Town and had not yet reached the Ling Stone Mountain Pass.

  Taking the main road is out of the question, we'll definitely be caught up by the Qin family's people. The only way to shake them off is to cross over Ling Shi Mountain Pass and then take a small path into the midst of the mountains.

  "Fei Yun, you and your sister go ahead first, don't worry about me. Mother is now a useless person, she can only be a burden to you."

  Du's face turned even paler, his body swaying precariously, and although his hands had been simply bandaged, the blood still flowed ceaselessly.

  Looking at Du Juanqing again, the situation was similar. Although she wasn't as weak as Madam Du, she had been tortured for a long time in the Qin manor and her hands were covered in blood. At this moment, she was also floating with each step, her body extremely weak.

  "No way! Mother, I won't give up on you!" First, he had been competing in several rounds on the arena, and then just now, after a fierce battle at the Qin's residence, Du Fei Yun's internal energy was greatly depleted, without time to recover. At this moment, his body was weak, with sweat dripping from his forehead.

  "Mom, come and I'll carry you on my back!"

  Du Feiyun bent down and put Du Shi on his back, then quickly ran forward. Du Qing also followed closely behind, panting heavily as she stumbled along.

  In front of him, Lingshan Pass gradually came into view, getting closer and closer, three hundred zhang, two hundred zhang...

  Behind him, the sound of chaotic footsteps and shouts for killing gradually came from the main road, and more than a dozen Qin Fu guards rushed up with swords.

  Sensing something was amiss behind him, Du Feiyun turned his head to look, and instantly his face turned solemn, his eyes narrowing slightly, his heart filled with extreme anxiety.

  At any time, he would not be afraid of the dozen or so Qin family guards. However, at this moment, with his mother and sister by his side who needed protection, as long as they were delayed by the Qin family's guardian monks, Qin Wanyan would arrive at any moment.

  By then, it won't just be him, but also his mother and sister - all three members of the Du family will lose their lives!

  Run, run for your life!

  "Mother, hold on to me!" Du Feiyun shouted in a low voice, one hand wrapped around his mother's waist and the other grasping Du Yunqing's arm, his feet accelerating again as he bit down hard and charged forward.

  On both sides were steep cliffs, only by crossing the narrow mountain pass in front, would it suddenly open up, and only then could one escape into the mountains, and have a glimmer of hope!

  His ears were ringing with thunder, his heart was pounding wildly, and his blood was churning violently. Du Fei Yun knew that this was a sign of exhaustion!

  Can't fall behind, can't slow down, can't stop!! Otherwise, it's the outcome of being chopped to pieces by chaotic knives!!

  Du Feiyun carried his mother on his back and pulled his sister along, rushing forward with a stumbling gait, without even looking back to see what was happening behind him.

  Every second counts at this moment! Every second is crucial for life and death!

  Alas, alas! The internal energy is rapidly draining away. Alas, the panting is getting heavier and heavier. Alas, the pursuing soldiers are getting closer and closer!

  The next moment, a loud shout suddenly came from behind him, and Du Feiyun was like being struck by lightning, his body trembling, his eyes red.

  "You half-breed, come and surrender!"

  This was Qin Wanyan's voice, he had caught up, and at this moment, he was only a short distance of less than ten zhang away from Du Feiyun.

  A rolling cloud of smoke rose, and a black figure suddenly shot out like an arrow, whizzing past a distance of ten zhang, stabbing towards Du Feiyun's back.

  It's Qin Wannian! He quickly caught up, and when he was ten zhang away from Du Feiyun, his body suddenly accelerated, and in an instant, he flew over and struck out with both palms at Du Feiyun's back.

  A fierce and sharp energy suddenly arrived behind him, hearing the piercing sound of breaking through the air, feeling the sharp and bone-piercing energy, Du Fei Yun's heart was greatly shocked, the yuan force in his dantian suddenly burst out, his body twisted to one side and slid out two feet away.

  A loud "bang" sound, a huge golden palm slapped heavily on the ground, and the ground sank instantly, with dust flying everywhere.

  Du Wanqing's unstable body was knocked to the ground by the residual waves of the giant palm, and she lay on the ground in a sorry state, with half her shoulder covered in blood.

  Du Feiyun narrowly dodged the attack and quickly put his mother aside, turning to face Qin Wannian's next move.

  He couldn't keep running away, that would only leave his back to Qin Wannian's attack. Moreover, he was carrying Du Shi, and it was impossible for him to outrun Qin Wannian's pursuit.

  For now, there's no choice but to work hard.

  If you don't surrender and continue to escape, you will die immediately.

  Struggle hard, it's still death, at least I can exhaust my last bit of strength and won't die in a cowardly manner.

  Even if he were to die today without a doubt, Du Fei Yun would never give up on his last thread of hope.

  Qin Wan Nian stood still, a yard away from Du Fei Yun, his face twisted in a sinister gaze at Du Fei Yun. A hint of cruel and venomous smile played on the corners of his mouth as he spoke in a low, husky voice: "You little bastard, today I will crush every bone in your family's body, inch by inch, and let you experience that taste. Then, I will slowly torture you to death with one knife cut after another. Only this can vent my hatred and avenge my son's death!"

  Such cruel and venomous words made even those Qin family guards who were used to such things reveal a look of shock, their hearts racing with fear.

  Du Shi and Du Wanqing sat together, leaning against the mountain wall by the side of the road. Du Wanqing's face was pale as she pointed at Qin Wannian: "Qin Wannian, you madman! You're so cruel! If you still have any dignity as a family master or a cultivator, give us a quick death!"

  "Awesome? Haha!! Hahaha..."

  "Want to die a good death? No way! I'll let you know what it means to be unable to live or die!" Qin Wannian laughed loudly towards the sky, his face was gloomy like water, and his eyes flashed with murderous intent.
