278: Escape!

Xu Hua always felt that this guy was not a good person. He looked refined and like a true gentleman.

Wang Yun also noticed Xu Hua looking at him. He instantly retracted his gaze, then turned and left.

Xu Hua continued to mine on his side.

A short while later.

He extracted the sixth barrel of spirit mud.

Xu Hua was incredibly excited. Damn, his luck was soaring! With the sixth barrel of spirit mud, he could refine six hundred Spirit Stones. Xu Hua was overjoyed because breaking through to Fifth Level Body Refinement coincidentally required around six hundred Spirit Stones.

Once he broke through to Fifth Level Body Refinement, his strength would advance by leaps and bounds, and his combat power would skyrocket.

After he broke through to Fifth Level Body Refinement, he could completely achieve a state of invincibility below Blood Exchange.

This was his confidence.

On the other side.

Several people dressed in Wang Family attire walked over to Wang Yun.

“Fourth Young Master, that kid has extracted the sixth barrel of spirit mud.”

What!!!

Wang Yun stood up, “Six barrels already?”

“That’s right.”

Soon, Xu Hua extracted the seventh barrel of spirit mud.

The people helping Xu Hua extract the spirit mud were ecstatic. After all, extracting so much spirit mud for their employer meant their rewards would be substantial, with plenty of silver notes.

However, Xu Hua, on his side, maintained a calm and composed expression.

It wasn't that he wasn't happy, but rather that he couldn't bring himself to be happy.

Because he noticed someone observing him from a hundred meters away, then coming to observe him again, then leaving again.

This was clearly monitoring him, clearly relaying the news of his spirit mud extraction to the Fourth Young Master of the Wang Family from earlier.

Xu Hua’s gaze narrowed.

He had to be wary of this person.

This person’s cultivation was not weak; he was a master of Fifth Level Body Refinement.

He was currently only at Fourth Level Body Refinement. If he were to launch an attack, to be honest, he wasn't sure if he could defeat this person. He felt there would be some risk.

Furthermore, this person was the Fourth Young Master of the Powerful Clan Wang Family. Even if he killed him, the arrival of people from all directions later would make things even more troublesome.

This was not the time to act rashly.

Of course, Xu Hua was unwilling to hand over these spirit muds. This was his energy source for reaching Fifth Level Body Refinement; how could he possibly just give it to this scoundrel?

A short while later.

The people Xu Hua hired sent him another message.

“Master, such good luck! The eighth barrel of spirit mud is out.”

Xu Hua nodded, still completely calm.

On the other side.

At Wang Yun’s location, several subordinates immediately reported.

“Fourth Young Master, it’s the eighth barrel of spirit mud.”

Wang Yun’s eyes became incredibly fervent, “The eighth barrel! This luck is simply incredible.”

Soon, Xu Hua extracted the ninth barrel.

Then came the tenth barrel.

After the tenth barrel, this spirit field was completely depleted.

It was considered thoroughly mined.

Looking at the ten barrels of spirit mud, Xu Hua wasn't overly happy, but rather very calm, because he was thinking about how to transport them back.

He knew that the Fourth Young Master of the Wang Family had already set his sights on him.

“It’s a pity I’m not at Fifth Level Body Refinement. If I were at Fifth Level Body Refinement, and this Wang Yun dared to make a move, I’d kill him on the spot!”

Xu Hua began to ponder furiously.

Just then, Wang Yun arrived here with his subordinates.

Wang Yun cupped his hands.

“Congratulations, congratulations, brother! You’ve certainly made a huge profit from the special-grade spirit field you purchased here, with ten barrels of spirit mud.”

Xu Hua smiled and said, “My luck is indeed pretty good, Young Master Wang. This area is under your jurisdiction. Since I’ve earned ten barrels of spirit mud here, how about I give you two barrels?”

After saying this, Xu Hua offered two barrels to Wang Yun.

Wang Yun smiled, “How can I accept? I cannot take them.”

“Young Master Wang, it’s just a small token of my appreciation. Please take them,” Xu Hua smiled.

Wang Yun insisted on not taking them.

“Brother, although I don’t know your surname, I know that if I were to take these two barrels of spirit mud from you, it wouldn’t sound good if word got out. This spirit field belongs to you; you spent a hundred Spirit Stones to purchase it. Today you were lucky and unearthed a large amount of spirit mud, but there are also many people who are unlucky and don’t extract any spirit mud after purchasing a spirit field.”

If it weren't for a cautious person, one would truly believe this Wang Yun was a good person.

Xu Hua could tell.

This Wang Yun thought two barrels were too few.

Perhaps he wanted them all.

However, Xu Hua said nothing, just smiled.

“Alright then.”

Wang Yun smiled and said, “By the way, brother, you must be careful with these ten barrels of spirit mud on your journey. There’s a lot of chaos these days, and someone might get jealous.”

“Okay, thank you for the reminder, Young Master Wang. I will be careful. However, I’m taking Jin Yang Avenue. Jin Yang Avenue is flat and easy for carriages, so I can enter the city quickly,” Xu Hua said.

“Alright, then I won’t disturb you, brother.”

Having said this, Wang Yun immediately left with his subordinates.

Wang Yun returned to his own place and changed into a black outfit.

His many subordinates were also eager to act.

“Fourth Young Master, we’re rich now.”

Wang Yun smiled.

“I was just short of spirit mud. Now I have ten barrels of spirit mud, hahahaha! Later, on Jin Yang Avenue, set up an ambush for me. By then, that guy will never guess it was I, Wang Yun, who did it.”

...Soon, Wang Yun led his men to Jin Yang Avenue.

Wang Yun was at Fifth Level Body Refinement, and his cultivation was indeed formidable. Not only that, but he also ordered his subordinates to carry Qi-Breaking Crossbows. These Qi-Breaking Crossbows were specifically designed to deal with Viscera Refining masters, capable of breaking through the True Qi condensed by Viscera Refining masters.

Wang Yun smiled.

“The trap has been set, just waiting for the prey to fall into my trap, hahahaha! I, Wang Yun, am skilled in both literary and martial arts, resourceful and cunning. Who in Yingtian Prefecture has such a strategy as mine!”

Just then, Wang Yun waited for a long time, but the carriage still did not arrive.

A group of subordinates also wiped the sweat from their foreheads.

“Fourth Young Master, why haven’t they arrived yet?”

Wang Yun frowned, “What’s the rush? You’re all so impatient. One must have patience when doing things.”

Another half an hour passed.

Wang Yun became a little anxious.

“Damn it, why haven’t they appeared yet!!!”

“Fourth Young Master, don’t rush, be patient.”

After another moment, still no carriage appeared. Wang Yun gritted his teeth and suddenly remembered Xu Hua mentioning that Jin Yang Avenue was flat and easy to travel.

He then realized.

Suddenly.

Wang Yun blew his top.

“Damn!!! This kid deliberately said he was taking Jin Yang Avenue to mislead me, damn, damn, damn!!! This kid must have guessed I wanted to seize his spirit mud, so he slipped away through a small path!!!”

Wang Yun only just realized this.

A group of subordinates, hearing this, also frowned.

“Fourth Young Master, what you said makes sense.”

“Damn it, this kid is really cunning! Chase him, he can’t have gone far!!!” Wang Yun stood up.

However, just at this moment.

Several hundred meters outside the main road in the middle of the jungle, a carriage appeared, along with a group of people.

Wang Yun, hundreds of meters above, looked at this group of people, especially the person leading them—wasn't this the guy who extracted the spirit mud?

“Damn it, I overthought things. This kid never expected me to ambush him. I knew there was no one as clever as me! There’s no one like me in this world, hahahaha! Qi-Breaking Arrows ready! Shoot to kill the moment they enter range!”
