"Young Master, don't worry. I promise I won't abandon you this time. After all, we're doing this for the greater good," Old Fang said seriously. This moment felt very reliable.
Fang Chen was skeptical, but he did not question further.
After Fang Chen brought Old Fang into the village chief's house, there was a knock on the door.
"As expected, people will come here too. If we're not here, they'll probably think that the village chief and his family have escaped. The entire village will probably suffer," Fang Chen muttered and pulled Old Fang towards the door.
The door opened to reveal five men, all of them wore blood-colored robes and masks that covered their mouths and noses. In the darkness of the night, just looking at them sent a chill down his spine.
This was the Disciple of the Seven Kills Sect.
"Where is An Yongqiang's daughter?" One of the Seven Kills Disciples asked. It was obvious that they did not know who the village chief's family was, so they were not suspicious of Fang Chen and Old Fang's identities.
"My lords, we sent the child with the boy for convenience." Fang Chen said calmly.
"Hehe, as expected of the village chief. Your awareness is indeed quite high. Let's go get them now."
One of the Seven Kills Sect's disciples made a strange sound of admiration.
Fang Chen did not say much and directly pulled the trembling Old Fang towards An Yongqiang's house.
However, just as they took two steps, an ear-piercing sound suddenly appeared in the direction of An Yongqiang's house. Immediately after, a blood-colored arrow of light shot into the sky, followed by the sound of fighting.
Fang Chen's heart immediately turned cold. Needless to say, it was Xu Mianfeng, that stubborn fellow, who had attacked first. This would be a trap for him and Old Fang.
Before they could react, two knives were placed on Fang Chen and Old Fang's necks.
"Oh no, that team is under attack. An expert must have come to the village. Let's retreat," one of the disciples shouted.
"So what do we do with these two? Kill them?" asked the other disciple.
"Don't kill them yet. Take them back for questioning. Otherwise, we won't be able to explain ourselves if we go back empty-handed," the first Seven Kills disciple said.
The other disciple felt that it made sense, so they sealed Fang Chen and Old Fang's acupoints so that they could not move. Then, they headed into the deep mountains behind Xiao An Village.
"Devils, don't leave. Put him down…" Xu Mianfeng was very strong. After dealing with the Seven Kills disciples on the other side, he came to support Fang Chen and the others. Seeing that Fang Chen and Old Fang had been captured from afar, he shouted anxiously as he chased after them.
When the Seven Kills disciple saw Xu Mianfeng's speed, he was shocked. He hurriedly ordered the three of them, "The three of you can sacrifice yourselves to the Demon Sect. Go and scatter and attack the villagers to stop the strong enemy."
Fang Chen was just thinking that only a fool would stay behind to die at this time, but…
"Yes sir!"
The three Seven Kills Disciples did not hesitate at all. They turned around and walked towards Xu Mianfeng.
When the three of them approached Xu Mianfeng, they suddenly spread out. Then, they aimed at a residence and landed. They raised their sabers and slashed through the courtyard door. It was obvious that they were not in a hurry to kill anyone. They wanted to give Xu Mianfeng time to save someone.
As expected, Xu Mianfeng was led by the nose. In order to save the villagers, he could only deal with the three disciples first.
"This clubmer, Xu Mianfeng…"
When Fang Chen saw this scene, he cursed Xu Mianfeng to death in his heart. However, he had no choice. He could only pray that Xu Mianfeng would kill those three who were courting death and quickly catch up to them.
The two disciples each carried a man, still walking as if they were flying, and soon entered the forest.
It was obvious that the two disciples were especially vigilant after arriving in the forest. They tried their best not to leave any traces along the way.
After about half an hour, the two disciples arrived at a stockade. Fang Chen and Chen were locked in a stone room in a cave.
Finally, he landed on the ground. Not long after, his acupoints automatically opened. Fang Chen saw that Old Fang was lying there without any movement after being thrown down. His heart turned cold. He thought that something had happened and quickly went to check.
"So he fainted from shock. I was worried."
Soon, Fang Chen realized that Old Fang was fine.
Bang!
This scared Old Fang and he jumped up from the ground.
"Don't kill me, don't kill me …" Old Fang shouted in panic as soon as he woke up.
"Why are you screaming? Didn't you say you would protect me? They haven't even made a move and you're already fainting from fright?" Fang Chen said disdainfully.
"Young Master, I didn't faint from fright, okay? I just accidentally fell asleep!" Old Fang whined.
Fang Chen was speechless. This old man's shameless ability was simply unreasonable.
Just as he was about to continue lecturing Old Fang, there was a commotion at the door. Fang Chen and Old Fang were shocked. They thought they were going to be interrogated, but the door opened and two figures were pushed in.
There was a silly girl in her teens and a young woman in her twenties. They were both in tattered clothes and covered in dust. They could already tell what the silly girl looked like, but the young woman was definitely a beauty as they could see his beauty even through her tattered appearance.
"Sob, let me out. I don't want to marry some Sect Master. Let me go home." After the two figures entered, the silly girl remained motionless, but the beautiful woman wailed and kept hitting the stone door, begging to be let out.
"Hey, beautiful, don't waste your energy, okay? If they were willing to let you go, why would they capture you?" Fang Chen looked at the beautiful woman and reminded her helplessly.
"Who is it? Who's talking?" The beautiful woman was shocked. She wiped her face with her shirt. She was too afraid to cry. She looked back for the voice, for someone.
Fang Chen walked out from the shadows of the stone room and said awkwardly, "Beauty, it's me. My name is Fang Chen. We came in first. Didn't you see us just now?"
"I… I was scared. I didn't notice," she said timidly.
"Well, none of that matters. Now don't bother to cry or you won't have the strength to escape when someone does save you."
As Fang Chen spoke, he sized up the young woman. He realized that although her face was dirty, she was very beautiful. However, he felt nothing towards this kind of beauty.
"Save me? Who will save me? There are so many bad people here in the wilderness…" The beauty clearly did not agree with Fang Chen's words at all.
"Beauty, I'm not lying to you. With me here, someone will definitely come to save me," Fang Chen said confidently.
If Xu Mianfeng dared to let anything happen to him, the fury of the Zhenbei Mansion was definitely not something that the Whole Unitary Sect could withstand.
"You're lying. Aren't you from the Xiao An Village? I heard from the bad guys outside just now. How could those people from our village come here to die?" The beauty looked at Fang Chen in disdain, not believing him at all.
Fang Chen was anxious. How could the dignified heir of the Zhenbei Mansion be suspected of being a liar?
"Beauty, let me tell you. I'm a martial arts genius that the Whole Unitary Sect has taken a fancy to. If this trashy Seven Kills Sect wants to capture me, it's equivalent to slapping the face of the Whole Unitary Sect. Just wait and see. Someone will come and save me soon," Fang Chen said proudly.
"Ah, really?" The beauty ran excitedly to Fang Chen and grabbed his hand.
"What are you doing? Men and women shouldn't touch each other. Don't touch me. I'm a serious person." Fang Chen shook off the beauty's hand and said seriously.
Su Feifei was a little dumbfounded. She had thrown herself into his arms, but he actually rejected her?
