C155 (1/2)

Cloud Dynasty, Cloud Ascension City.

In the distant sky, three rays of light swiftly chased after the moon. Their shocking speed attracted quite a number of experts' attention. However, after sensing the strength of the three auras, they hurriedly gave up on the idea of heading over.

Compared to the few large cities in the Within the capital, the Cang Lan City was like a small piece of land. These large cities usually had a population of millions to tens of millions, and even with the speed of Zhou Tong and the other two, it took them a full two days before they managed to reach the Cloud Ascension City that was at the border of the imperial city.

Their current destination was still quite a distance away from the Cloud Ascension City, and their current journey to the Cloud Court's capital was to enter the imperial court and use the power of the Cloud Dynasty to contend against the Cloud Song Dynasty.

As the sky darkened, the three of them stopped at the border of Cloud Ascension City. After taking out a map to identify their direction, they no longer continued to rush forward, and headed in the direction of Cloud Ascension City.

The Cloud Ascension City was getting closer and closer to them. Seeing that the distance between the buildings was not far, Zhou Tong finally relaxed and called out to Xiao Hanqing and Yue Qingyao to come down from the ground. After resting for about an hour, they got up again and took the lead to fly towards the vast plain.

The black-robed, young man in front of them had an emerald green grass stalk in his mouth. His hands hugged the back of his head and had a lazy look on his face. He allowed the warm sunlight that was pouring down from the sky to scatter onto his body through the gaps of the leaves.

”Zhou Tong, how far away is this damned city?” The red-haired girl frowned and shouted in anger.

”Soon.” The young man said lazily while chewing on the grass that had a slightly bitter taste to it.

”You've said it dozens of times!” Hearing that, Xiao Hanqing immediately went berserk, and directly jumped up and sent a flying kick towards Zhou Tong.

Seeing Xiao Hanqing's actions, Yue Qingyao who was dressed in a pure white dress smiled, as if she understood something, and could not help but shake her head.

”Hey, you came by yourself. I'm the leader, so you should just listen to my commands. Since we're already in the Within the capital, if you keep flying around like before, you might get someone to shoot you down with a bow and arrow.” Zhou Tong glanced at Xiao Hanqing, turned, and ignored her, walking at a steady pace while smiling.

”With just the arrows from those guys, it doesn't matter even if we stand there and let them shoot.” Xiao Hanqing said indignantly as she angrily rushed to the front of Zhou Tong.

Zhou Tong shrugged his shoulders, just as he was about to speak, his footsteps suddenly stopped, and pulled Xiao Hanqing back, her pitch black eyes staring at the forest in the distance.

”What's wrong?” Seeing that Zhou Tong had stopped in his tracks, Xiao Hanqing pouted his lips and asked suspiciously.

”There's someone ahead of us right now. It looks like he's trying to escape.” As she spoke, she glanced at Zhou Tong, as if she was waiting for his decision.

”Don't worry about it, let's go our way.” Zhou Tong smiled indifferently, whether this Within the capital was someone who stayed on the edge of a blade all day long, or someone with power and influence, revenge, assassinations, partisan battles, they were nothing out of the ordinary, he had no interest in saving them one by one.

While Zhou Tong and the other two were conversing, at the end of the small mountain path, two figures with somewhat staggered steps appeared in a sorry state. Not far behind them were numerous black figures flashing by, and a dense killing intent could be felt even from afar.

There were some traces of blood on his body, indicating that he was wounded. On the other hand, the young lady wearing a pale-blue dress looked a little better. However, at this moment, her delicate and moving face was filled with panic.

Perhaps it was due to his injuries that when he was running away, the man's footsteps twisted and he almost fell to the ground. The young lady hurriedly supported him and a pair of big, watery eyes that seemed to be able to speak appeared in his panic.

The numerous black figures behind them suddenly approached them while the two of them were delaying each other in this manner. A dark, cold killing intent caused the backs of the two people to be covered in cold sweat.

Xiao Yan's gaze happened to see the three human figures not far in front of him just as despair was surfacing. Immediately, as though he was grabbing onto the last straw, he cried out urgently, ”Friend in front, please save me. I will definitely give you an extremely heavy reward afterwards!”

While they shouted, the pursuers suddenly accelerated. Finally, their figures flashed and directly formed a circle, surrounding this entire region. Coincidentally, Zhou Tong and the other two were also surrounded.
