198: Chapter 198 Returning to the City

In truth, Tang Long knew what she looked like; he was just teasing her for fun.

To be honest, she was an absolute top-tier beauty.

Even if she wasn't quite on par with Lyria, it wasn't because of her looks.

She was just too tall, being only a few centimeters shorter than him.

Plus, her face was small, and her body was trained a bit too robustly, making her look somewhat disproportionate.

If she grew out a head of wavy hair, it might look a bit better.

"If you can't afford to lose, then forget it."

"Fine, that's the condition. But if you lose, I will cut off your manhood."

Tang Long almost jumped up. "Isn't that condition too extreme? It's just a little game, is it necessary to go for the kill?"

Yun Zhuoyue shrugged indifferently. "My master told me that if anyone wants to see my face, I should cut off their manhood."

"So no one has ever seen your face? What would happen if they did? Would you have to marry him?"

"No." Yun Zhuoyue shook her head. "I would still cut off his manhood."

"You and your master are truly unreasonable."

"One minute is up; it's too late to regret it now."

As she said this, Yun Zhuoyue lit a cigarette, got out of the vehicle again, and drew the long blade from her back.

The entire squad of city gate guards turned and ran, and Yun Zhuoyue stepped forward, slicing through the three-layered roadblock with a single strike.

Just then, two police cars drove out from the city gate and stopped in front of the Hu Xiao armored vehicle.

Wei Zhuang got out with five men and greeted Yun Zhuoyue with a smile.

"Kept you waiting, Group Leader Yun."

"It's you again."

Although Yun Zhuoyue was speaking to him, she didn't even look at him, instead scanning each of his attendants one by one.

Because she could sense that none of these attendants were simple characters; they were all experts at the Open Origin mid-stage or higher.

"Wei Zhuang, you had better get lost right now. Otherwise, for obstructing urgent military affairs, I can execute you on the spot, and your surname won't be able to save your life."

Wei Zhuang laughed. "Group Leader Yun, I know your strength is outstanding. But we aren't just sitting ducks; we won't be that easy to kill."

"Besides, the person sitting in your vehicle is named Tang Long, right?"

"According to our investigation, he is one of the partners of the Jinyue Martial Arts Hall. Currently, a serious violent crime has occurred at the Jinyue Martial Arts Hall, resulting in multiple Jingan Officers being injured. We have determined that Tang Long is the mastermind behind it."

"So, we are here mainly to summon him back to assist with the investigation; it has nothing to do with you directly."

"May I ask, are you going to attack law enforcement officers of the Jingan Division for the sake of a suspect?"

Yun Zhuoyue didn't answer and instead called Qiguang Sect directly.

"Hello, Commander-in-Chief, this is Yun Zhuoyue!"

"I know it's you, speak."

"My armored vehicle was intercepted by the Jingan Division at the West Gate. Tang Long is in my vehicle, and they say they want to arrest him. I'm going to fight back."

"Zhuoyue, look up, at the third floor. Do you see it?"

Following Qiguang Sect's words, Yun Zhuoyue looked up and immediately saw Qiguang Sect at the third-floor window of the city wall.

But at this moment, there was someone else beside Qiguang Sect, and it was actually Governor Xu.

Yun Zhuoyue had never encountered such a tricky situation before.

If no one were up there, she could have just killed them and justified it however she wanted later.

But now that Governor Xu and Qiguang Sect were watching together, could she still take action?

If she didn't take action, would she just let them take Tang Long away?

This kid was an important asset to the military, and she had gone to great lengths to snatch him from the jaws of the Imperial Academy and The Sect. President Qi would never be willing to hand him over to the Wei Family.

Also, this kid was right.

She was at a loss for what to do for a moment and could only quickly return to the vehicle, hesitating whether to just drive away and take him to some fortress.

Yet at a time like this, she found that Tang Long was actually still in the mood to joke around.

"Group Leader Yun, I won, right? How is your sportsmanship regarding bets?"

Yun Zhuoyue couldn't help but glare at him.

Tang Long grinned. "Doesn't seem like it's very good. Never mind, don't make it difficult for yourself, just hand me over."

Yun Zhuoyue rebuked him angrily. "Hand you over to the Wei Family? Are you kidding? If Wei Mingzhu is a Sun Worshiper, the Wei Family will find some random excuse to kill you!"

Tang Long shrugged his shoulders (which lacked arms). "It's not just the Wei Family; Governor Xu has even shown up in person."

"If you forcibly resist the law, it will be very difficult for Commander-in-Chief Qi."

"Don't worry, I'll be fine. They'll have to release me later."

Seeing Tang Long's look of heroic sacrifice, Yun Zhuoyue suddenly remembered her father on his deathbed.

He had been just as cheerful, telling her nanny to take her away and saying he would bring her lots of candy when he came back that night.

In the end, that was their final farewell.

Yun Zhuoyue suddenly made up her mind, but just as she was about to drive away, she saw many more vehicles driving out from the city gate.

"The Blood Eye Flag? That is... two, three, four, five—aside from the High Priest's vehicle, all Four Great Bishops have come?"

At this moment, Tang Long couldn't help but reveal a brilliant smile.

In fact, he had long seen the Jingan Division's vehicles, discovered the vehicles of The Sect further away, and of course, had long ago spotted Qiguang Sect and Governor Xu.

If it weren't for that, he would have urged Yun Zhuoyue to drive away long ago.

It looked like those old bastards from The Sect had finally figured something out.

As long as they could come, no matter what Governor Xu and the Wei Family thought, he would be safe for the time being.

However, Governor Xu's stance of backing Wei Mingzhu was already very clear; this should also be an aftereffect of the High Priest's incident.

When that person was around, everyone had to hide and lie low, himself included.

But now that person was gone, and the monsters and demons were less inhibited.

What to do next? That was a big question.

At this time, the Four Great Bishops and the others had all gotten out of their vehicles. Red Hand took the lead, walking directly past Wei Zhuang and his men toward Yun Zhuoyue's vehicle.

"Group Leader Yun, please hand Mr. Tang Long over to me. His safety is now the responsibility of The Sect."

Yun Zhuoyue was extremely surprised; she hadn't expected The Sect to come with such a large force to protect Tang Long.

As she looked at Tang Long, Tang Long also nodded at her with a smile.

It was as if he was saying, "See, I didn't lie to you, did I?"

Tang Long got out of the vehicle himself. When Red Hand saw his appearance, a flash of ferocity couldn't help but flicker in his eyes.

He immediately took off his own robe and stepped forward to wrap it around Tang Long.

"Mr. Tang, are you... are you badly hurt? Today I..."

Tang Long lifted his chin. "Let's not talk about that for now. The Jingan Division wants to arrest me; deal with it."

"Yes."

Red Hand turned and headed straight for Wei Zhuang. "In the name of the Red God, Mr. Tang is a distinguished guest of The Sect, and he is guilty of no crimes. Do you understand?"

Wei Zhuang's face twitched several times, and he stood there stunned, at a loss for how to respond.

Things shouldn't have been like this.

This trap, personally set by his fourth sister and eldest brother, with the Governor himself participating, was meant to capture Tang Long.

Then, through an 'accident,' make this person disappear completely.

For this, the Wei Family had even prepared a contingency plan for dealing with the Imperial Academy.

But why? Why did The Sect arrive so promptly? And why did they mobilize such a large force?

Isn't it just a Wuque Method?

Is it worth all Four Great Bishops coming? Including Red Hand, that's damn near half of the Spirit Maps in Song City!

He said, "In the name of the Red God"—what the hell am I supposed to do?

"Deputy Director Wei, I am asking you a question."

Red Hand's eyes were like blades burning with fire; Wei Zhuang couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.

"This... I... I understand. Mr. Tang is, of course, innocent; this is a misunderstanding."

"Very good! Similar incidents are not to happen again in the future."

After Red Hand finished speaking, he helped Tang Long walk toward the convoy and looked up to nod at Governor Xu and Qiguang Sect at the balcony.

"Governor, Commander-in-Chief, what a coincidence?"

Governor Xu laughed. "I was inspecting the city with President Qi, and when we encountered this, we stopped to watch the excitement. It really is a coincidence!"

"Lord Red Hand, Bishops, I won't delay your important business!"

"I'll be off first, goodbye."

Tang Long got into Lv Yang's car, and the vehicle quickly drove off.

Lv Yang looked back several times, wanting to say something to Tang Long, but Tang Long didn't pay him any attention.
