Chapter 1058: Huang Yan's Life on the Run

"Huff." Huang Yan leaned against a tree, gasping heavily, he didn't know how far he'd run, nor where he'd fled to, he plunged into the Mangshan Mountain Range, fleeing with all his might, only wanting to shake off the pursuers behind him, not thinking about anything else.

For now he was temporarily safe; the steward Luo behind him seemed not to have pursued, Huang Yan sensed no aura of steward Luo, but instead sensed the auras of the few guards beside him; they had rushed in to hunt, temporarily unable to find him here, so he was temporarily safe.

"Cough cough cough."

Huang Yan suppressed his cough, not letting it out, he looked behind, stuffed himself with a medicinal pill to as much as possible ease his pain, wanting to heal the wound, unlikely, blood kept flowing from his chest, that wound needed a place to be treated, otherwise he would really die.

At this moment, his eyes were blurred, seeing illusions everywhere, from excessive bleeding, he would also die.

Rather, the pain was nothing; he was single-mindedly thinking of fleeing, having long forgotten the pain—just now, after sitting down, the pain surged into his heart, truly… deadly, instantly making his eyes almost split, his whole body nearly collapsing.

He strained to support his body, after a while he barely adapted to the pain, Huang Yan worriedly said: "Going on like this won't work, I will die, the smell of fresh blood will attract some demon beasts, I must wash off the blood smell on my body and also heal the wound, I cannot keep bleeding."

"Otherwise, I won't die at the hands of steward Luo and his men, but will die in the mouths of those damned demon beasts."

He didn't want to become food in a demon beast's belly, nor did he want to die; this score, he must settle it clearly when he returns, that vicious woman actually dared to use such poisonous means, taking advantage of his lowered guard to… strike at him, Huang Yan had never considered this problem, nor dared to imagine her so vicious.

I had thought that woman at most disliked me, never expecting her to… do this.

"Damn woman, she must die, I will return to take revenge; also Huang Yang, my foolish brother, covets my Flame Yang Bone, for which he wouldn't hesitate to kill me, truly my good brother."

Huang Yan rested a moment, then hurriedly dragged his weary body forward, he couldn't linger too long, otherwise it would be very dangerous.

Not long after walking, a few guards landed, saw the fresh blood on the ground, and a trail—that was the scent of blood, the dripping fresh blood on the ground was evidence, that was the direction Huang Yan had gone.

"He ran that way, brothers, hurry up and chase, we must kill him before dark, then leave the Mangshan Mountain Range, otherwise we are in danger."

The Mangshan Mountain Range at night is very dangerous, everyone knows, there's still time, we must settle it early.

Several people didn't want to die in the Mangshan Mountain Range; they weren't like Huang Yan, entering the Mangshan Mountain Range with a resolve to die, they hurriedly pursued, sped up, only wanting to catch up to Huang Yan early, kill him, then immediately leave the Mangshan Mountain Range while those demon beasts had not yet reacted.

Half an hour later.

Huang Yan stood in place, brows tightly locked, staring at the several large mountains around, a layer of mist blocked his way forward; after walking a long time, he finally returned to the original spot, seeing the blood on the ground, he realized he had lost his way.

He kept circling the same spot, involuntarily furrowing his brows, staring at the blood on the ground—that was his blood, Huang Yan would not mistake it.

He was very familiar with this place, his memory presented no problems.

"Back at the original spot again, have I fallen into a formation?"

"But all around are peaks, this is the Mangshan Mountain Range, how could there be a formation?"

"It's the demon beasts' territory; they aren't skilled at formations and wouldn't set one up here, yet the mist before our eyes is exactly what the formation produced, not appearing for no reason."

Huang Yan refused to believe it, walked another circle, still returned to the original spot.

At this moment, he realized he was truly trapped.

He completely failed to notice, his sense of direction, as well as his perception, were all gone.

Moreover, the mist is disgusting, it can devour spiritual sense, also devour the soul, true qi is the same—if emitted, it will be swallowed; Huang Yan dared not release it, nor activate it, he could only rely on sight to observe.

But the mist blocked vision, allowing only sight up to three meters away; Huang Yan had no choice, he sat down.

"This formation is temporarily not dangerous; if I stay here, my true qi and soul power will eventually be exhausted, I must break this formation early, but I don't even know where the formation is, let alone how to solve it."

"The profundity of this formation exceeds my expectations; who exactly set it up here is also… too disgusting."

Huang Yan was both laughing and crying, he was truly disgusted, the formation before him left him clueless.

One enters this formation unknowingly by gods and ghosts; you still don't realize, by the time you notice, it's already too late.

"Are those guards also inside the formation? If so, the chance of me running into them is high."

"Fortunately this formation is large; I'll first hide, cannot let them discover my presence."

This place is dangerous; likewise, for him it is a relatively safe spot.

Huang Yan quickly found a hiding place, concealed his form and aura, changed his clothes into another set, the bloody smell on his body was covered up.

Only then could he relax, crouching in hiding, invisible to the naked eye.

A hidden-in-plain-sight move came.

Not long after he hid, several silhouettes landed, their faces grim, they stared at the blood on the ground, they noticed it, and at the same time they discovered the problem: they could not leave this place, and had lost Huang Yan's trail; only the blood on the ground told them Huang Yan had been here.

"Damn brat, where has he hidden? This ghostly place, how could it have a formation?"

"This formation is overly complex, moreover eerie, my true qi is draining quickly; probably within a few hours we will lose too much true qi and become lambs for the slaughter."

"Second brother, third brother, what do you think?"

Two of the other people shook their heads, at a loss.

"Big brother, this place is very eerie, Huang Yan is surely hiding somewhere; we must find him, not easy, for now first find him, kill him, then think of a way to leave this place."

"Yes, big brother, the mission is urgent; as for the formation, we'll take it slow."

Several others agreed with their view, first complete the mission, then concentrate efforts to comprehend the formation.

No need to worry about Huang Yan ambushing us; Huang Yan is already crippled, but he still has combat ability.

They didn't want to be gradually broken by Huang Yan, nor become corpses in his hands.

"Alright, then we'll act together, cannot split up, cannot give Huang Yan an opportunity."

"Yes."
