Yang Lele replied, pulling Yang Xi’s hand as they sprinted down Qingshui Street.
As they fled, angry shouts followed, "Yang Lele, I’ll kill you for tricking Yang Xi here!"
Yang Lele paused, then asked Yang Xi beside him, "They know you?"
"Yes, both have visited my house."
"Alright, I’m snatching someone right in front of two Body Refining Thirteenth Layers."
Yang Lele smirked wryly, quickly quickened his pace, the intent to kill from the two Thirteenth Layers looming in his mind, cold sweat dripping down his back.
Just when he was about to weave through alleys to evade them, a white shield suddenly enveloped him, and he heard a clanging sound from behind.
A dagger fell to the ground behind him.
Although Yang Lele didn’t understand how the shield worked, he realized it just saved his life.
If it weren’t for the shield, that dagger would surely have pierced his back, a Thirteenth Layer’s fatal strike enough to kill him!
These Thirteenth Layers are truly ruthless!
"Follow me!"
Yang Lele immediately pulled Yang Xi into the alley, but looking back, he saw the alley had two people in pursuit.
"This way!"
"Here!"
"Follow my lead!"
Yang Lele dragged Yang Xi as they threaded through the alleys, constantly heading towards the foot of Yunlan Mountain.
Nonetheless, the pursuit was getting closer.
Although the alley restricted the speed of the Thirteenth Layers, it didn’t affect their perception; catching up was only a matter of time.
Yang Xi said, "Lele, why don’t you run quickly, I’ll stay and hold them off. They won’t harm me."
"No way, since I brought you out, I’ll definitely take you to the Immortal Sect. Joining the Hundred Sects Alliance or Kao Shan Sect would only stifle your talent!"
Yang Lele responded resolutely.
As soon as he finished speaking, the pursuing footsteps were within reach!
At the crossroads of the alley, Yang Lele and Yang Xi stood in the middle, with a Body Refining Thirteenth Layer on each side.
Backwards was the way to escape.
Moving forward, although it led towards Yunlan Mountain, it also meant that in the narrow alley, the two Thirteenth Layer cultivators could catch him in an instant.
Chances were, the pursuing Thirteenth Layers would directly kill him.
Because they had already attempted to do so.
"Yang Xi, come back with us."
Both spoke in unison.
Yang Xi shook her head, pushed Yang Lele with one hand, hinting him to leave quickly, then grasped both sides of the alley, "Li Yue senior, please spare Lele, I’ll go back with you."
