Chapter 429 – Fleeing from the Western Continent

At this point, the Jian Family Head, Jian Shiming, was at the end of his rope. He hit his thigh, and with a face of resentment, he said, “That Yin Xinghan from the family of prophets, simply bullying others intolerably!”

“What did he do?” Qing Zhu firmly stared at Jian Shiming.

“The last thing I heard was Yin Xinghan letting people destroy Family Head Liu’s Dantian Qi Sea, reducing him into waste.” Jian Shiming took a deep breath and sighed. “What happened afterwards was cut off. Perhaps, Family Head Liu was afraid of being detected, so he destroyed the Voice Retention Stone on his side.”

“Destroyed his Dantian Qi Sea?” Qing Zhu gasped, his eyes suddenly becoming red.

He swayed unsteadily and nearly fell to the ground. Lin Xuanzhi hurriedly reached out his hand to catch Qing Zhu.

Liu Zhaoyue’s entire body was trembling, and his teeth were chattering. “I want to listen to that Voice Retention Stone. I want to know….. I want to know exactly what happened!”

Although Jian Shiming’s face revealed an unbearable look, he was restraining his frame of mind and said, “Nephew Zhaoyue, your brother probably had already anticipated the disaster Liu family will face. Before he left, he sent me a note saying that you would leave Liu Family with the young Lin and others, and entrusted me to look after you. I came in person because I feared that those people had already laid a hand on you. It is not safe here now. If you want to know anything, we might as well walk while we talk, the best plan is to reach a safe place first.”

Liu Zhaoyue wiped his tears and whimpered, “My eldest brother, he thought of everything. Why did he want to throw away his life? Why did he just let those people kill my Liu family? Woo woo…..”

Lin Xuanzhi was remorseful. Although he felt helplessness, grief, and indignation on the matter of Twin Moons City at that time, the fault was still not on his hands after all, and it had nothing to do with him. However, the destruction of the Liu family actually happened right in front of his eyes. Furthermore–it was closely related to him.

A strong sense of guilt almost drowned Lin Xuanzhi.

He closed his eyes and stated in a slightly hoarse voice, “This is all because of me. It’s my fault.”

Yan Tianhen suddenly looked at Lin Xuanzhi and moved his lips, but he couldn’t open his mouth.

He could not comfort Lin Xuanzhi, because his mood at this time was the same as Lin Xuanzhi’s. He was whole with Lin Xuanzhi, and the person who was the real target of Yin Xinghan was not necessarily just Lin Xuanzhi, he was afraid it might also be him.

Liu Zhaoyue sobbed for a while, sniffled and said, “I want revenge.”

Jian Yunxi said, “Revenge must be delivered, but not now.”

Liu Zhaoyue bitterly spoke, “I will fight them!”

Jian Yunxi said, “If you fight, you are just going to die. It is more important than anything else that you survive.”

Liu Zhaoyue cried even more fiercely. He sobbed and said, “Then….. Then I want to gather the bones of my family.”

Jian Yunxi hesitated then said, “Better to not gather them, although those people can’t find you and have already left, they might send someone to wander around the vicinity. If they discover that the bones of the Liu family have disappeared, they will inevitably suspect that you have come back, and your whereabouts will be easily exposed. The most important thing now is to protect your life and get to green hills without worrying about firewood.”

Liu Zhaoyue was even more distraught. He softly knelt with a leg on the ground, prostrating and crying. “Big brother, big brother…”

Duan Yuyang couldn’t help but wipe his tears. He felt that his breathing seemed to be difficult.

Qing Zhu’s expression, which was suffering in pain at the beginning, now turned numb. He raised his head and looked at the highest building of the Liu Family with unblinkingly dull eyes as if his soul already left him, thinking about something unknown.

Liu Zhaoyue wiped his face filled with tears of blood, and bit his lower lip for a moment before he firmly said, “Let’s go.”

He was still weak and couldn’t do anything now. He could only protect himself first and keep the Liu Family’s last stalk of grass alive. This way the chance to get revenge might come in the future.

There is a saying, the most dangerous place is often the safest place.

Yin Xinghan’s people finished killing all the Liu family members, and never found any trace of Lin Xuanzhi and the others. They would inevitably think that they had already escaped from Fenghui City and try to pursue them to the east.

Thus, the group took advantage of this difference in timing to leave from the Liu family’s secret passage once again. If there were no accidents, they could perfectly avoid their pursuers.

In addition, Esteemed Huai Yu and Su Mo had already left Fenghui City in advance to deceive the spies lurking in Fenghui City, so Lin Xuanzhi and others had a great probability of having a tranquil journey.

The Jian family also entered the secret passage together with Liu Zhaoyue. On this road, Jian Shiming handed that Voice Retention Stone to Liu Zhaoyue.

Liu Zhaoyue and the others gathered together. After listening to the Voice Retention Stone several times, their moods were mixed, almost falling to the bottom.

They found a lot of news from the sounds left in the Voice Retention Stone一一

For example, Yin Xinghan, who used to work for the Emperor, was now working for Yan Zizhang, one of the heirs to the throne. Another example, it was Yan Zijing who wanted to kill Lin Zhan.

Such as these things, if you call it useful, it is of no practical use. If you call it useless, it solves many previous doubts.

They could confirm that Yan Xinghan really didn’t know what was special about Lin Xuanzhi’s life and he was just in the stage of doubt. However, as for Yan Zizhang, the one who gave hundreds of Scarlet Kill Orders, it was uncertain whether he knew or suspected anything.

After listening several times, Liu Zhaoyue did dare not listen to it again. Instead, it was Qing Zhu who listened to Voice Retention Stone over and over again, as if he wanted to imprint these sounds in his bones.

A few days later, when everyone exited the secret passage, Jian Shiming left with the Jian family.

Before leaving, Jian Shiming said to Liu Zhaoyue, “Your brother entrusted you to me. You might as well come with us and at least lie low until it blows over.”
