Chapter 60: Fleeing for Life

Wang Hai's pupils shrank: "Flag Leader Zhou..."

He immediately understood the identity of the cold-faced middle-aged man: Ming Sect Thick Earth Flag Leader, Zhou Mingxu.

Don't look at the name he took, which is bright and warm; in fact, he was the secret service head of the Ming Sect fifteen years ago. In the past fifteen years, he had been at odds with the Imperial Guard, and it was basically this person's subordinates who had been tossing back and forth.

He was ruthless, with countless lives in his hands. Judging from the words just now, he had clearly been watching Wang Hai torture his subordinate in secret, but had never shown up. It wasn't until the man couldn't bear the interrogation that he killed him.

From this point, it could be seen that he didn't put the lives of others, or even his subordinates, in his eyes.

This person was proficient in disguise and had appeared in different faces many times. Sometimes he was an old man, and sometimes even a woman, so Wang Hai didn't recognize him for a while.

And this person's martial arts should be similar to Liu Baiyun's.

Although he hadn't reached the peak level, after years of hard practice, plus the Ming Sect's brilliant techniques and accumulation of resources, his foundation was incomparably deep. He was already a top-tier expert below the peak.

With him alone, Wang Hai was in bad luck.

And that young one was clearly also a Ming Sect member. His attitude toward Zhou Mingxu was casual, and he was probably also a high-level figure in the Ming Sect.

The only two remaining Flag Leaders of the Ming Sect, Wang Hai knew them, and they were not young, and they didn't match this young man.

I'm afraid he was a Protector supplemented later, and it was even possible that he was that Ming Sect Right Envoy whose news the Imperial Guard had never been able to find.

Although the situation was critical at the moment, Wang Hai was not panicked, just asked calmly: "May I ask what origin you have with Battalion Commander Li?"

Wang Hai's plan was that it was obviously impossible to fight hard now, and he could only see if he could escape alive later. But since he came here, and the other party didn't rush to do it, he would set up some words before fleeing for his life.

This time, he was afraid he would lose half his life before he could escape, but since he lost half his life, he had to exchange something for it.

The young man didn't have any hostility, and smiled warmly: "You know him."

"Battalion Commander... how come it's been fifteen years, and he's still just a Battalion Commander? Is your Commander old and dim-sighted?"

Wang Hai suddenly reacted to a piece of information in his words: fifteen years.

Fifteen years ago, it was the time when the Imperial Guard strangled the Ming Sect. Li Miao didn't leave the capital that time; he killed the wave of Ming Sect people who brought witchcraft into the capital in Shuntian Prefecture.

Looking at the young man's face, he was at most twenty-something. Wouldn't he only be ten-something fifteen years ago? Among the Ming Sect members who met Li Miao fifteen years ago, there was absolutely no one so young.

Wang Hai looked at the young man's appearance, but the more he looked, the more familiar he became.

He sent people to check You Zi'ang's past, and naturally he would also take a look at the Plum Blossom Thief's case file from that year.

At this time, he suddenly discovered that the description of the young man's appearance was exactly the same as the description in the case file!

But how could the description in the case file from fifteen years ago match!

"What origin do you have with Battalion Commander Li?" Wang Hai asked in a deep voice.

The young man smiled, turned his body sideways, lifted the long hair behind his head, and revealed the plum-blossom-shaped birthmark on the back of his neck to Wang Hai: "Little brother, since you came here to investigate, you should know this mark, right?"

"Fifteen years ago, the Battalion Commander Li you mentioned let me go, and I have been grateful day and night, endured a lot of bitterness, just thinking about meeting him and repaying him well."

"If you know where he is now, can you tell me? I will also remember your goodness."

Wang Hai finally confirmed that this young man was the Plum Blossom Thief, but he didn't know why his face was still that of a young man.

And that Ming Sect Right Envoy whose background he didn't know was him!

He just wanted to continue to set up words, but heard Zhou Mingxu say coldly: "Right Envoy, if you want to play, there are plenty of people to play with in the main altar. Don't delay the time and miss the important business."

"Left Envoy Lan has already set off for several days, you insist on dragging me here and not leaving, and now you are setting up some kind of closeness with this wolf cub?"

"First subdue him, break his hands and feet, and peel his skin and flesh. If you want to ask anything, ask after I finish the torture, isn't it more effort-saving."

Yun Zelin spread his hands and smiled helplessly: "Flag Leader Zhou, there are still four days before the Five Mountains Alliance meeting, and we will arrive just right if we rush over today, no need to rush."

He combed his long hair gently like a woman, and said: "Moreover, I hate fighting and killing the most."

"Little brother, sorry."

Yun Zelin smiled apologetically at Wang Hai: "Flag Leader Zhou has a bad temper, and I have no ability, so what I say doesn't count."

"Go and flee for your life, Flag Leader Zhou is very powerful."

"Hmph!" Zhou Mingxu snorted coldly and galloped up.

Before the person arrived, a cold light flashed on his cuff, and dozens of cow-hair fine needles splashed over, stabbing at Wang Hai's vital points!

Wang Hai retreated and turned, kicking on the door panel.

*Boom! *

The door panel was like a cannonball, blocking the cow-hair fine needles and smashing toward Zhou Mingxu.

Zhou Mingxu hit the door panel with a punch in the air, wood chips splashed, and it shattered into several pieces on the spot.

But when he looked into the house again, there was a big hole in the roof, and Wang Hai had disappeared.

Zhou Mingxu turned to look at Yun Zelin in the courtyard.

Yun Zelin smiled and spread his hands: "Don't look at me."

"You are the one who insists on fighting with others, why should I stop others?"

Zhou Mingxu cursed inwardly, flipped onto the roof, saw Wang Hai's back fleeing rapidly on the roof in the distance, and immediately used his light-body technique to chase after him.

He was much older than Wang Hai, and his true energy was thick. And he was the Thick Earth Flag Leader, and the light-body technique he had been doing in the dark for many years was the most skillful.

In less than a stick of incense, he chased behind Wang Hai.

*Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! *

Zhou Mingxu flicked his hand, and more than ten poisoned flying darts flew toward Wang Hai's back!

The situation at the moment was exactly the same as when Li Miao chased You Zi'ang. The hidden weapon reached his body, whether he blocked or caught it, as long as he delayed for a moment, Zhou Mingxu would catch up.

Although they were both top-tier, Wang Hai's foundation was still shallow. If he really had a head-on confrontation with Zhou Mingxu, it would be nine deaths and one life.

Wang Hai knew this truth, didn't look back, only relied on his ear skills to listen to a rough direction, and at the same time grabbed backward with his right arm.

*Ding ding ding ding—*

More than ten flying darts hit the iron pieces of Wang Hai's gloves, making a crisp sound.

*Pfft! *

But one poison dart was missed, and it was inserted into Wang Hai's right shoulder!

At this time, there was a strong enemy behind, and it was difficult to seek perfection, so Wang Hai could only roughly protect his vital points. He could only look at luck for other parts.

There was no time to pull out the poison dart, Wang Hai only cared about running wildly with his head down.

A hint of numbness gradually spread on his shoulder.

Wang Hai gradually felt dizzy: "The poison of the Thick Earth Flag is really fierce."

"Today, I'm afraid it's difficult to get out..."

————————

Tai'an Prefecture, official road.

Li Xiaosi was galloping, and suddenly a mouthful of blood sprayed out.

*Pfft—! *

She covered her chest, suspicious: "Love Gu damaged... Brother Hai is in trouble!"

"How could it be, how could it be..."

Li Xiaosi's face turned pale, she was panicked for a while, and tears flowed down.

"No, no. Can't panic."

"Love Gu is not dead yet, Brother Hai is not dead yet."

Li Xiaosi gritted her teeth.

"It's too late to turn back for help now. To be able to hurt Brother Hai to this point, it's not the Ming Sect's Flag Leader, it's the Protector, or the Left and Right Envoys!"

"Still have to go to Mount Tai... only go to Mount Tai!"

Li Xiaosi reached out and pressed on the horse's neck, the horse suddenly had red eyes, and the speed suddenly became faster.

"Fast! Fast!"

Li Xiaosi wiped the blood and tears on her face, whipped the horse, galloped all the way, and went toward the Taishan Sect.
