132: Murder in the Alley
The Host's reaction was swift.
In the blink of an eye, he had already left the Small Alley.
Now, as long as the Host reached the Long Street, no one would dare lay a hand on him.
The Host was banking on this desperate chance.
Just now, Zhang Yun had given up the hope of survival and used his own body to block the assassins in order to save the Host.
This action deeply shocked the Host.
"Brother Zhang Yun, as long as I can escape from here, I will definitely avenge you!" The Host clenched his fists tightly.
These Gao Family members are truly hateful. They must have eaten the guts of a bear and a leopard to dare attack someone from Mulan Manor.
Li Changfeng and Nan Qingyue deliberately did not pursue him.
The two exchanged glances, both revealing a smile.
"Qingyue, you really startled me just now. That sword strike might have actually taken the Host's life!" Li Changfeng gasped, trying hard to calm himself.
Li Changfeng only intended to scare the Host, not kill him.
If the Host were truly killed,
and no one reported the news to Mulan Manor, this move of 'Killing with a Borrowed Knife' might not succeed.
"Master, don't worry. I know what I'm doing. I wouldn't actually kill him!" Nan Qingyue said with a sullen face, letting out a cold snort.
And right at this moment.
Zhang Yun raised his head, took a look, and only slowly let out a breath after a long time.
Zhang Yun smiled slightly and inhaled sharply.
"Phew, they finally left! That's great." Zhang Yun sighed in relief.
In this way.
Zhang Yun's mission was complete, and he no longer needed to worry.
As long as Mulan Manor could deal with the Gao Family, Zhang Yun would be safe and sound.
"Alright, let's go too." Li Changfeng's lips curved into a smile, and his eyes lit up.
"Understood, Master." Nan Qingyue nodded vigorously, then followed him, reaching out and directly linking her arm through Li Changfeng's.
Nan Qingyue smiled faintly, deliberately letting something soft brush against Li Changfeng.
This scene.
Li Changfeng gasped, his heart trembling.
This Little Seductress is at it again!
Whew.
We should hurry up and leave!
"Zhang Yun, let's go too." Li Changfeng turned his head and called out.
"Yes, Sir." Zhang Yun chuckled.
Li Changfeng turned his head and looked towards the end of the Small Alley.
The Host had already run onto the Long Street, and the passing Soldiers happened to spot him.
The patrolling Soldiers focused their gaze and spotted a figure in the distance.
"Commander, there's someone over there!" A soldier's eyes lit up, and he raised his hand, pointing toward the distant figure.
Li Changfeng watched this scene from afar inside the Small Alley.
The commander who arrived was none other than Wang Yi.
"Hmm? Who would be here so late?" Wang Yi lifted his head with a sullen face, gazing at the distant figure.
"Let's go, let's take a look."
"Who exactly is this!"
Wang Yi held his Long Saber, displaying a serious expression.
Immediately, a cold light flashed in Wang Yi's eyes, and right at this moment.
The Soldiers were ready to strike. They held Sharp Weapons and pressed forward step by step.
"Commander, be careful. Let's hurry over and check." The Soldiers looked grim and displayed serious expressions.
And right at this moment.
Wang Yi nodded lightly, "Alright, everyone be careful then."
The Host saw a Torch in the distance, his eyes lit up, and he quickly stretched out his hand.
"I'm here!" The Host waved.
"What is that person shouting?" Wang Yi frowned, gripping the Long Saber in his hand tightly.
The Soldiers moved quickly, stepping forward.
Immediately after.
The Soldiers were less than thirty steps away from the Host.
The Host's eyes lit up. He could already tell that these people were Soldiers from Mulan Manor.
"I am the Host of the Auction House! Quickly, save me!" the Host said coldly.
After hearing this, Wang Yi was slightly stunned.
Following that, Wang Yi hurried forward, "Quick! That is Lord Wang, the Host of the Auction House! Go quickly!"
Hearing that it was someone from Mulan Manor,
Wang Yi naturally dared not delay, and led the Soldiers straight toward him.
The Soldiers looked grim, and a cold light flashed in their eyes.
Lord Wang, the Host, was extremely excited upon seeing Wang Yi. He covered the distance quickly and arrived directly in front of Wang Yi.
"Commander Wang!" The Host quickly stepped forward, reaching Wang Yi's side in just a moment.
"Lord Wang, why are you here?" Wang Yi asked curiously.
"It's a long story. I was being hunted!" The Host said with a sullen face, a cold light flashing in his eyes as he spoke.
The Host reflected for a moment. Thinking carefully, these Gao Family members were truly audacious.
Even though they clearly knew the identity of Lord Wang, the Host, these Gao Family members still attacked him.
The Gao Family members were determined to kill the Host, no matter the cost.
What exactly was the Gao Family's goal?
"Hunted? Who dares to kill someone from Mulan Manor!" Upon hearing this, Wang Yi's pupils constricted sharply, and he frowned intensely.
And right at this moment.
Wang Yi suddenly raised his head, sensing the presence of people nearby.
"Protect Lord Wang!" Wang Yi roared, brandishing his Long Saber, a cold light bursting forth from his bright eyes.
At this moment, Wang Yi turned his head, his bright eyes fixed intently on the Small Alley.
The Black-Clothed Assassins looked grim. They gripped their Long Sabers tightly, revealing ferocious expressions.
"Boss, what do we do now? We can't kill this Host." The Black-Clothed Assassins were unwilling to give up.
"What else can we do? The Long Street is full of Soldiers! If the people from Mulan Manor discover our true identity, none of us will survive!" The leader of the Black-Clothed Assassins said with a sullen face, clenching his fists tightly.
After hearing this.
The Black-Clothed Assassins sighed deeply, feeling extremely reluctant.
"Are we just going to let the Host escape like this?"
"Seriously, this is infuriating!"
"If we had known, we wouldn't have said so much!"
The Black-Clothed Assassins clenched their fists tightly, a cold light flashing in their eyes.
"Stop talking, that's enough!" The leading Black-Clothed Assassin snorted coldly.
"Yes, Boss!" The Black-Clothed Assassin answered.
"Retreat, let's retreat quickly!" The leader of the Black-Clothed Assassins said with a grim face, showing a serious expression.
And right at this moment.
The Black-Clothed Assassins immediately recovered their senses. They turned around and left toward the Small Alley.
The Black-Clothed Assassins were extremely unwilling about this outcome, but they had no choice.
If there were a chance,
the leader of the Black-Clothed Assassins would also want to kill the Host.
However, the Host had already run to the side of the Mulan Manor Soldiers, and it was probably too late to go after him now.
"Hurry up and leave, they've spotted us!" The Black-Clothed Assassin turned his head and saw the Torches floating over the Long Street.
