Chapter 22 - Infinite Sword Sect's Chasers

It was unknown if it was because Ling Xiao had spoken a little too quickly, or because he had said too much, or because the difference was too great compared to his previous performance.

Mu Wanqing was stunned, her large eyes stared blankly ahead with an extremely cute look, causing Ling Xiao to laugh uncontrollably.

"Miss Mu, what are you thinking about?" Ling Xiao asked as he waved his hand.

When Mu Wanqing heard this, she reacted and shook her head. "Nothing much. I was just wondering if there was an accident."

"How is it? I am only giving you a suggestion. I wonder what Miss Mu thinks?" Ling Xiao laughed.

"Alright, let's do it this way. Sect Master Ling, please lead the way this time." Mu Wanqing said.

When the two of them went around to the room that Zhong Ling was in, Mu Wanqing made a hand gesture, asking Ling Xiao who should take note of the corridor.

Ling Xiao knew that Mu Wanqing was doubtful of his ability to move at the moment, so he took the initiative to take over the job of observing the stairs.

Fortunately, the operation this time was very smooth and no one came to interfere. After saving Zhong Ling, the three of them calculated the time difference and used the blind area on the hidden sentry to leave.

"Sect Master Ling, you really came to save me!" After escaping from danger, Zhong Ling said excitedly as he saw Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao laughed: "Of course, I will definitely do what I promised."

"They didn't bully you, did they?" Mu Wanqing glanced at Ling Xiao in surprise, then asked. As he spoke, he stepped forward and carefully observed Zhong Ling's body.

"No, it's just restricting my movement. But how are we going to get out? The security here is quite tight." Zhong Ling asked worriedly.

"I've already made arrangements, we'll go through the small paths and go out. Even if there's a conflict, we're already very far away from the hilum. When the time comes, we should quickly ride our horses and leave, they won't be able to catch up." Mu Wanqing said.

However, Ling Xiao did not answer him.

"Miss Mu, we have a rather troublesome problem now." Ling Xiao said indifferently.

"What's wrong?" Mu Wanqing heard this and also followed Ling Xiao's gaze. She could not help but change her expression.

"Why is the Spirit Eagle Palace here? Then wouldn't we be exposed?" Ling Xiao asked.

"I-I don't know either. It seems like their plan has changed. Let's not delay any further. Let's hurry up and leave." After Mu Wanqing finished, she pulled Zhong Ling's hand and ran back to their original position.

Ling Xiao knew that there would be a fierce battle soon, but he had to run as far as he could. After all, he was carrying the title of a gang leader on him, so he couldn't act too rashly or else it would be troublesome.

As he followed Mu Wanqing into the small alley, he heard the sound of a pursuer before he could reach the end. It was obvious that the real envoy of the Spirit Eagle Palace had come and discovered that they were fake.

"Sect Master Ling, Sister Mu, what should we do? They are chasing us!" Zhong Ling said with a pale face and fear.

"Don't worry, it's just some small Luo from the Immeasurable Sword Sect. It's fine, let's continue running and ignore them. When we get on the horse, we'll be fine." Mu Wanqing consoled him.

However, Ling Xiao could clearly feel that Mu Wanqing's voice had also slightly trembled. It seemed that it was because the matter had exceeded her expectations, and she didn't have a better plan.

"Miss Mu is right, we have to run out of here as fast as possible." Ling Xiao said.
