Chapter 169: Driving the tiger away from the mountain
five minutes later
The gate of Wuhun City and the hundred-meter-high city wall stand tall, protecting the civilians in the city like a mountain.

On the hundred-meter-high city wall, a black shadow flashed by and flew away into the distance.

Then, several more streaks of light flashed across the sky, flying in the air, chasing the black shadow in front of them, relentlessly pursuing it.

"Dad, what about Xiao Wu? Aren't you going to take her with you?"

Tang San prayed, hoping that Tang Hao could find Xiao Wu and take them out of Wuhun City.

Tang San didn't know that his father already had a hidden illness. When he fought with Bibi Dong not long ago, the seven elders of the Spirit Hall attacked together. Tang Hao seemed powerful, but in fact, he was not. Now he was injured.

Wuhun City is vast, and it was not until now that the father and son escaped from Wuhun City.

Tang Hao and his son flew across the sky, rushed towards the horizon, and quickly moved away from Wuhun City.

He glanced behind him and saw three Titled Douluo coming out together, chasing him relentlessly. In his current physical condition, he was unable to fight back.

"Oh, Xiaosan, you have forgotten about that girl." Tang Hao sighed softly.

When passing through another area, he felt Xiao Wu's breath and was rushing towards another exit.

Tang Hao had his own considerations as to why he did not take Xiao Wu away. With his current physical condition due to the recurrence of his hidden illness, he was unable to fight again, and it was good enough that he could take Tang San away.

Behind him, the three Titled Douluo, Ju Douluo, Ghost Douluo and Jin E Douluo, were chasing him relentlessly, with the goal of forcing him away and preventing him from taking the rabbit with him.

"Dad, don't you even agree with us?" Tang San asked in despair, but his voice was soon drowned out by the whistling wind.

After leaving Wuhun City, Tang Hao's soul power exploded. Suddenly, his body turned into a black light, reaching three times the speed of sound. In an instant, he flew several miles away, putting distance between him and the pursuers behind.

"Alas, you should forget about that little girl, Xiaosan. With your talent, there are many girls in the world. Don't miss her anymore." Tang Hao sighed lightly, trying to persuade his son.

The rabbit was pregnant and already married. He could not tolerate his son marrying such an unbearable daughter-in-law. It was a shame for him and the Haotian Sect.

From the perspective of a spirit master, he should have captured the hundred thousand year old rabbit, kept it in captivity, and then killed it when Tang San needed it, in order to obtain the hundred thousand year spirit ring and spirit bone. Unfortunately, he no longer had the chance.

"Dad, what do you mean?" Tang San's pupils contracted and his body shook violently as he understood the hidden meaning of the words.

Tang Hao did not hide his true feelings and said bluntly: "As a Titled Douluo, I can sense the aura of that girl. How could those people not sense it? I'm afraid that rabbit is in great danger."

He continued, "Master, there is nothing more to teach you. I will teach you in person from now on. You should practice well in the future. With your talent, you will definitely surpass me in the future."

Tang San felt sad and reluctant, but as things had come to this, he actually understood deeply that in a big city like that where Titled Douluo were everywhere, there was no way Xiao Wu could possibly get out alive.

He was in great pain, his chest felt like it was being torn apart. He loved Xiao Wu deeply, and now that he knew she was about to die, it was still hard for him to accept it.

Things have come to this, the outcome is certain, he is powerless to change anything, but life must go on, he has to look forward, and he must adjust his state of mind as soon as possible.

……

On the other side, to the northwest of Wuhun City, there is a wilderness.

Chen Xuan refined several pills and recovered most of his soul power. In addition, the magical plants in the red earth world continuously delivered strange energy, relieving fatigue and providing soul power, which greatly shortened the recovery time.

Strangely enough, that plant absorbed even the deadly poison and made the elixir out of the magical herb, but it didn't rush to absorb it, as if it looked down on it.

This was also a kind of blessing, because the plant was too overbearing, just like a robber, and he could not rob it at all, otherwise he would not be able to recover his soul power within half a day.

When his soul power returned to 70%, Chen Xuan set off, fleeing towards the northwest with Xiao Wu. On the way, he created two shadow clones. One of them used the transformation technique to transform into Xiao Wu's appearance and took away a piece of underwear.

The two shadow clones deliberately exposed their whereabouts and sprinted in the opposite direction to divert the pursuers and buy them some time.

In this continent, Chen Xuan has only used the shadow clone technique once in public, and his transformation skill is zero, so those people probably wouldn't be able to detect it for a short time.

"We're here!" Chen Xuan stopped. This was another alternative route, which was even more dangerous.

This place is located in the north of Wuhun City, far away from the urban area. It is a wilderness area. Not far away is the Soul Beast Forest.

Only this place has no protection from city walls and is a vacant area in Wuhun City. Similarly, this place is more heavily guarded, with many knight legions stationed there and a complete defense system.

"There are so many people ahead, do we really have to go this way?" Xiao Wu was worried. In that forest, she felt a lot of terrifying auras, and the murderous aura was so strong that even a Soul Douluo might not be able to get through. Chen Xuan whispered, "Don't worry, I don't plan to break out, I have another way."

The more dangerous a place is, the safer it is. The pursuers from the Spirit Hall would never have thought that they would make a surprise attack and escape from this place.

Chen Xuan guessed that the pursuers from the Spirit Hall should be guarding the city gate again and checking that area. Considering Bibi Dong's love for Yu Xiaogang, she now wishes he were a widower. The Spirit Hall must have mobilized all the forces it could, and the military strength here must have been weakened.

Sure enough, when they entered the forest, a few scattered knights wandered around the entrance and did not sense the breath of Contra.

"Shadow Clone Technique!" Chen Xuan decisively formed a seal, and white mist rose from the spot, and an identical person appeared.

boom!
Fifty meters away, a fire dragon rose into the sky, carrying rolling heat waves, and crashed into the knights at the entrance.

"Oh no! There is an enemy attack!" The golden-armored knight roared. He reacted immediately and called on the others to raise their shields for defense.

"Hurry! Go and inform the adults!" another person shouted, looking anxious.

They had just received a message from the Pope not long ago, and now that they were attacked, they were more vigilant than ever before.

"There!" The knight in golden armor pointed in that direction.

On top of a huge rock stood a young man of about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in simple clothes. He smiled evilly at them, then turned around and ran away.

"You guys stay here and the rest of you follow me. Don't let him get away!"

The six-man formation was divided into two teams, one staying on the spot while the other went to capture the attacker.

During this time, they were all attracted by the fire dragon, and they didn't know that a kunai flew over their heads and disappeared into the darkness in the blink of an eye.

Inside, six hundred meters away, as soon as Chen Xuan landed, he threw the kunai in his hand again and shot it towards the sky. With a swish, the two disappeared again, leaving only a yellow flash.

In a small wooden house, three middle-aged men were making tea. Suddenly, one of the white-haired men's face changed drastically, and the teacup in his hand fell and broke into pieces.

"No, someone broke in!"

The two men's faces changed, and they also sensed that two auras had rushed in at an extremely fast speed, rushing towards the exit.

The intention is too obvious, is he trying to escape from Wuhun City in this way?

During a special period, illegal intruders appeared and wanted to escape from Wuhun City from here, so they had to make connections.

"Go contact the Pope quickly. I suspect one of them is Chen Xuan, the man His Majesty wants to kill!"

"You and I will chase after them immediately!" one of them said, and was about to set off immediately.

The white-haired man raised his hand, held down the two men, and said quickly: "No, the speed of those two is not inferior to you and me. I am afraid that by the time we get there, they have already escaped from Wuhun City."

The two frowned and said unhappily: "Are we going to do nothing? All that awaits us is the wrath of His Holiness the Pope."

"No, now our forces are basically gathered at the city gate. The best plan now is to contact Lordiara and Bishop Platinum as soon as possible and ask them to lead people to intercept them." The white-haired man explained. He was very smart and came up with a response in a short time.

Since Chen Xuan came from Shrek, he would definitely return to the Tiandou Empire after leaving the wilderness. They only needed to ambush him on the road he must pass through.

Simply chasing and killing indiscriminately is too passive and will only lead you by the nose. Why not change your mindset and save time and effort?

……

After rushing out for more than ten kilometers in the wilderness, Chen Xuan quickly discovered something was wrong. There was no pursuer from behind. It was too strange, as if they had not discovered their whereabouts.

Obviously, this is too abnormal. Even if most of the troops in this place have been transferred away, it shouldn't be so empty that someone can break in and not be discovered. There is definitely a problem.

"Chen Xuan, why did you stop?"

Xiao Wu spoke in confusion. She leaned against the man's broad back, feeling warm and inexplicably at ease. She briefly forgot about the dangerous environment around her.

Chen Xuan sighed, "There's no need to hurry. I'm afraid our whereabouts have been exposed. There's a high probability that there's an ambush ahead."
