The Demon with Holy Radiance-Chapter 92 - 84: Wu Jinsheng Escapes, Ding Chong Daoist Attacks

’That bastard Wu Jinsheng really played a dirty hand, bringing in an expert like this.’

Yang An didn’t even have to think. The moment he heard Meng Wuchang’s words, he immediately got up and walked out the door.

He had to run!

Never mind a Visceral Stone True Master; Yang An had no confidence in fighting even a Late-stage Primordial Feeding cultivator.

They were separated by two stages. This Ding Chong Daoist was on the same level as his Tenth Senior Brother, Xuan Kang, and might even be stronger.

He was only at the Early Stage of Primordial Feeding. He might—just might—be able to put up a fight against someone at the Middle Stage, but against an expert of this caliber? There was no fucking way.

As the saying goes, he who fights and runs away lives to fight another day.

"Take your men and hide if you can. If you get caught, just tell them I went east."

Tossing that one sentence to Meng Wuchang, Yang An immediately leaped up onto the roof.

Hearing Yang An’s words, Meng Wuchang froze on the spot, utterly shocked that the Lord Imperial Envoy would be so decisive.

’Doesn’t this mean that even the Lord Imperial Envoy admits he can’t handle the Ding Chong Daoist?’

’It’s over! It’s all over!’

’He’d only been the Gang Leader for a single day!’

"They’re after me. Just tell them I ran east, and they’ll definitely chase after me. Don’t worry too much."

Seeing how panicked Meng Wuchang was, Yang An spoke up. He had to reassure him before leaving. Otherwise, if this guy sold him out, it would be a situation he’d rather not see.

"Yes! I will absolutely follow the Lord Imperial Envoy’s command—"

Before Meng Wuchang could finish, Yang An had already launched himself into the air, flying west. In the blink of an eye, he had covered several hundred meters.

Just as he left the Blood Bat Gang’s headquarters, he immediately sensed a commotion break out behind him.

A massive black cloud had gathered over the Blood Bat Gang’s headquarters, emitting a sky-shaking hum. Even in the dead of night, they flickered like thousands of points of light. 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

Just a brief scan sent a chill down Yang An’s spine. The things flying in the sky were countless insects, which began to fall like raindrops. Immediately, a continuous stream of bloodcurdling screams erupted from the Blood Bat Gang’s headquarters.

Thankfully, his reaction had been fast enough. Otherwise, even if he had managed to escape now, he would have certainly attracted the Ding Chong Daoist’s attention, and fleeing then would have been much harder.

Yang An wasted no more time. After flying for some distance, he landed on a roof, pushed off again, and covered another several hundred meters in the blink of an eye. Soon, he reached the vicinity of Jinlong City’s walls.

Using the Cloud-Stepping Technique and his Flying Bird Boots, combined with the innate speed granted by his Primordial Feeding Realm Cultivation Level, Yang An slipped past the city guards without alerting a single one. Transforming into a silent black shadow, he skimmed over the city wall and left Jinlong City behind.

After traveling several more miles to the west, Yang An suddenly stopped, landing in an open field.

Looking back again, the lights of Jinlong City were already distant in the night. But even from here, he could faintly make out the oppressive black swarm of insects in the sky above it, a sight that made one’s scalp tingle.

’In truth, dead men tell no tales. If I had been truly committed to just escaping, I would have killed Meng Wuchang before I left. That way, no one would know which direction I had fled.’

’It was a given. If Meng Wuchang fell into the hands of Wu Jinsheng or the Ding Chong Daoist, with his low Cultivation Level, his fate would be miserable, and his betrayal was a certainty.’

’But the man still had one last bit of use: he could be left behind to sow confusion.’

’My escape to the west was just a show for Meng Wuchang. How else could I lure Wu Jinsheng and the Ding Chong Daoist away?’

In fact, the moment he’d heard Meng Wuchang’s words, countless thoughts had flashed through Yang An’s mind, and he had instantly decided where he would flee.

He was going to Wuwei Peak!

Since Wu Jinsheng had invited the Ding Chong Daoist to Jinlong City, Wuwei Peak was now without its one and only expert guardian. It was bound to be vulnerable.

’You son of a bitch! We have no history, no grudge, we don’t even know each other, and you still came looking for trouble with me!’

’Fine! In that case, I’ll go and raid your home base!’
