Li Chengfeng's words sent chills down everyone's spine. If it was true, then they were in deep trouble!
Tianjun pursed his lips, whispering, "They ran so fast?
Where are the horses?
Are they still there? "
Li Chengfeng was stunned, then overjoyed, "Yes!
Horses!
The stables are in the northern courtyard, I forgot to look there! "
Ouyang Nan immediately said, "I'll go take a look!"
The impatient Ouyang Nan dashed out the door, the rest of them could no longer stand and rushed out.
Under Li Chengfeng's guidance, they rushed to the stables and saw a man sneaking out of the stables with a horse in the dark.
Ouyang Nan shouted angrily, "Don't run!"
Even Li Chengfeng could not stop Ouyang Nan's shout. Yelling in the dark, wasn't that basically telling the other party to run?!
Sure enough, when the man heard the noise, he was immediately frightened, turned around and ran away on his horse!
Ouyang Nan panicked, unsheathing his sword and slashing out.
However, this person took out a talisman from his bosom and threw it behind him. This talisman suddenly blossomed with a burst of green light, and it floated in the air without moving. The sword ray slashed on an invisible wall of Qi, and the sword ray shattered in all directions.
Ouyang Nan was shocked!
This, this was Cosmos God Cult's Golden Soup Talisman?
The capital was an important place where cultivators were as common as dogs and experts roamed the streets. Hence, all the nobles would have all kinds of defensive talismans or one-time use magical items.
This talisman was Cosmos God Cult's most famous and best-selling defensive talisman. Even a child could use it normally, and it could protect one direction from any attack below the Golden Body Realm for a quarter of an hour.
"It's the Golden Soup Talisman!
Go around it, don't walk on the top, it's dangerous, go around the sides! "Qin Mieqin shouted.
Ouyang Nan and the rest were even more anxious. This talisman was blocking their way, if they tried to go around it, the other party would be gone by now.
And things were indeed as Ouyang Nan and the others thought. They wanted to go around the invisible wall of Qi, but just as they split into two groups to take a detour, they saw the man riding a tall horse and galloping into the dark forest. When they went around the wall of Qi, the man had already disappeared.
"Damn it!!"
Ouyang Nan was enraged, and the others felt as if they had fallen into an icehouse. Their bodies shivered, and their eyes were filled with despair.
They were not strong enough to use their two meaty legs to chase after a thousand-li horse.
But just when they were in despair, they suddenly heard the neighing of a horse in the distant jungle. Then, the horse that had escaped ran back, but there was no one on its back.
After a while, a figure flew out of the forest. This person was like a stone that had been thrown out. He flew through the air towards them in an arc and let out a sharp scream.
Everyone watched in shock as the man flew toward them. Just as he was about to be smashed into meat paste, the flowers and trees in front of them suddenly grew rapidly. A huge hand grew out, caught the man, and threw him to the ground.
When everyone looked closely, he was already tightly bound by the tree vines.
Everyone knew that this was Li Chengfeng's doing!
When they looked at Li Chengfeng, they saw him smiling without saying a word, as if nothing had happened.
This kind of strange ability really made them afraid and envious.
Fortunately, Li Chengfeng was not their opponent or enemy!
Li Chengfeng kicked the man and flipped him over. Everyone was shocked when they saw him.
Ouyang Nan picked the man up, his saliva spraying all over the man's face. "Where's the housekeeper?!"
This man was not the old housekeeper, but the middle-aged servant who had opened the door for them earlier.
The middle-aged servant's face was deathly pale, and his entire body was trembling. His crotch was wet, and a foul stench was leaking out. It was hard to tell if it was because he was scared when he was thrown through the air, or because Ouyang Nan scared him.
Qin Mieqin walked up and glared at the middle-aged servant. "Where's the old housekeeper?
Tell me and I'll spare your life! "
The middle-aged servant laughed bitterly. "The old housekeeper left a long time ago!"
Everyone's expression changed. Su You blurted out, "Then we should run too!"
Li Chengfeng glared at the middle-aged servant and stepped forward. "When did he run?
How did he run?
Where did he run to?
Who else ran with him? "
The middle-aged servant was stunned. He rolled his eyes and said, "He … ran two hours ago. He rode a horse and ran towards the capital. I really don't know anything else!"
As he spoke, he began to cry, "Dear cultivators, please spare my life! I have parents and children to take care of, I can't die! If I die, what will happen to my seventy year old mother?
Who will take care of my child?! "
Li Chengfeng ignored him and smirked. "There's only one horse missing in this stable, the one you rode away on!
Where else did he get the horse? "
This sentence was like a dagger stabbing into the middle-aged servant's heart. He panicked. "Maybe I remembered wrongly, maybe he didn't ride a horse, he … he left on his own."
Everyone else reacted. Su Yuehan smirked. "It's the middle of the night, the nearest village is at least seventy to eighty miles away from here. How far could an old man like him run on foot?"
The middle-aged servant stammered, "This lowly one, this lowly one really saw him run outside. As for other things, this lowly one doesn't know. Masters, this lowly one really didn't lie!"
Li Chengfeng smirked and swiped his hand across the servant's head. The servant felt itchy all over and could not help but scratch his skin, screaming, "Itchy, it's so itchy!"
Everyone only saw him scratch a few times, and his skin was torn open. Blood flowed out from under the cracked skin, but many green sprouts quickly grew out from his body. The pain and itchiness made the middle-aged servant scratch wildly, and he rolled on the ground, letting out an inhuman scream, "So itchy!!"
His voice traveled far into the night, sending chills down everyone's spine.
The middle-aged servant rolled on the ground, soon covered in blood. There was not an inch of skin on his body and the green grass growing from his body was covered in blood and mud.
Li Chengfeng squatted beside him and raised his hand. The grass that was growing crazily in the man's body stopped. The man's pain and itchiness immediately disappeared. Panting heavily, he said coldly, "If you don't tell me now, you'll taste pain a hundred times worse."
As he spoke, Li Chengfeng snapped his fingers. There was a rustling sound all around them and they saw countless ants crawling on the ground in the night. They were like a thick black carpet, gathering from all directions. They covered the entire ground except where they were standing.
Although they were all cultivators, they still felt goosebumps when they saw this!
The middle-aged servant saw a dense swarm of ants and insects surrounding him. He struggled in fear to get up, but the green grass on his body immediately grew again, weaving into vines that tightly held him to the ground. Then, the ants and insects swarmed up the middle-aged servant's body, and some of them burrowed into his crotch.
The middle-aged man's face paled as he struggled and screamed, "I'll tell you, I'll tell you!"
