I finished my breakfast, and an increasing sense of unease settled in my heart.
"Damn it, I can't afford to provoke them, but can I really hide?" I muttered to myself, deciding not to wade into this mess any longer. Taking advantage of the moment when no one was paying attention, I grabbed my backpack and headed out of the inn.
It was eight in the morning, and the sun had already risen high in the sky. Although sunlight poured down on me, I felt no warmth; a cold mountain breeze swept by, leaving me with a chilling sensation.
I pulled out my phone and searched for directions back to school. After confirming the route, I began to sprint down the road.
"Huff huff~~" I gasped for breath, sweat pouring down my forehead, soaking my clothes.
After leaving the inn, I had been running fast along the road. I had run for over two hours, covering nearly twenty kilometers, and the inn had long since disappeared from my sight.
I took a bottle of mineral water from my backpack and sat down in the shade of a tree, feeling somewhat speechless. "Damn it, why aren't there any vehicles passing by? Do I really have to run all the way back to school?"
After resting for about ten minutes, I continued running in the direction back home.
Half an hour later, I heard the roar of engines behind me. I stopped and turned around to see five or six motorcycles approaching me quickly, surrounding me in no time.
"Hey kid, weren't you quite the runner? Keep running!" They brandished one-meter-long steel pipes, occasionally striking the ground near my feet with a series of sharp sounds.
I stood still, completely ignoring their provocations. My gaze fixed on one woman among them as I said calmly, "What’s meant to come will come."
The woman I was staring at was none other than Qiu Ye, who had brought me here earlier. Seeing her appear made me suspect something was amiss.
To avoid being tracked down earlier, I had deliberately chosen a difficult route. Yet somehow Qiu Ye and her crew still found me; this situation could no longer be described as mere coincidence.
"Chen Haiping's words this morning can't be true!" I murmured under my breath, a glint of alertness flashing in my eyes as I scanned the surroundings.
"Hey Master Jiang Ling, where do you think you're going? Why didn't you say goodbye? We could have seen you off," Qiu Ye honked a few times and looked at me with disdain.
Feigning ignorance of Qiu Ye's gaze, I smiled and replied, "Oh, it's you Qiu Ye! The leaders at our school just called me about an important competition tomorrow and want me to participate. As a student, of course I have to listen to my teachers."
"Qiu Ye," I continued, "I won't be joining this operation. Just tell Yang Xiaochao for me. Your boss has gathered so many people already; it won't matter if I'm not there. I'm heading back now."
Qiu Ye let out a cold laugh. "Oh really? You think you can just come and go as you please? Do you really think you're that important? Let me tell you—without our boss's orders, you’re not going anywhere!"
“Brothers, move! Take this guy back to the hotel, and we'll deal with him when the boss arrives!” Qiu Ye waved her hand, leading the charge on her motorcycle, swinging a steel pipe towards me.
“Hey, look at your grandpa's flying stick!”
“Get down!”
“Damn it, I'll kill you, you little brat!”
...
One by one, they charged at me with fierce momentum, steel pipes swinging from all directions.
I had been prepared for this. In an instant, I drew my weapons—holding the Magic Sword in my left hand and the Demon-Subduing Staff in my right, I blocked the incoming pipes.
Clang! Clang! The sound of metal clashing echoed around me. Although I managed to deflect the blows aimed at my vital spots, I still got hit amidst the chaos.
I staggered back a few steps, rubbing my sore arm and shouted angrily, “Damn it! Bullying me because there are so many of you? Why don’t you come at me one-on-one!”
It was midday, and the Yang Qi outside was strong. I wanted to summon a few Evil Spirits to help me, but it was impossible; otherwise, dealing with this group would be a piece of cake.
Naturally, Qiu Ye and her gang wouldn’t challenge me directly. They rode their motorcycles in quick circles around me, occasionally striking at me.
Despite my best efforts to defend myself, within three minutes, I was bruised all over.
“Die!” One person took advantage of my distraction and charged from behind. His steel pipe struck my left shoulder with a crack; I felt a bone break under the impact.
“Damn it, looking for death!” A murderous glint flashed in my eyes as I gritted my teeth against the pain. Gripping the Demon-Subduing Staff tightly in my right hand, I swung it hard at his head.
With a thud, he let out a scream as he fell off his motorcycle, injured worse than I was. The sudden turn of events disrupted the formation of those nearby; for a moment, no one dared to attack me.
“I can’t stay here any longer. I need to find a way to escape. If this continues, I won’t last much longer!” My left arm was severely injured and couldn’t exert much strength anymore. If this kept up, I would definitely be doomed.
“Damn it, I’ll risk it!” Spotting an overturned motorcycle on the ground, determination flashed in my eyes. I put away my weapons and rushed over to right the bike. After revving the engine to full power, I sped out of Qiu Ye’s encirclement.
“Everyone chase after him! Don’t let him get away!” Qiu Ye shouted as they quickly regrouped and pursued me.
They were chasing me with all their might, while I was desperately trying to escape.
I pressed the accelerator to the maximum, fully focused on driving forward. Whenever I saw a fork in the road, I took it, slowly losing track of where I was going.
"Damn it, whatever! As long as I can shake off this group, I'll figure out a way to get out of here!" I glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Qiu Ye and his crew. Just then, another fork appeared ahead, and I turned sharply, darting down the left path and disappearing in the blink of an eye.
The screech of tires echoed as Qiu Ye and his crew slammed on the brakes, stopping outside that road without pursuing me further. Their eyes were filled with fear as they stared into the depths of the path, none daring to take a step forward.
"Qiu Ye, that guy ran into a dead end. Should we continue chasing?" someone asked hesitantly.
Qiu Ye thought for a moment before shaking his head. "We don't need to chase him in there. Our boss will be heading in tonight as well. We just need to guard the exit and make sure he doesn't come out."
I was completely absorbed in driving, unaware that I had stumbled into the very center of a conspiracy.
After more than ten minutes passed, I noticed that Qiu Ye and his crew had not reappeared. I couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and laughed, "Haha, finally shook them off!"
I slowed down my bike and took a moment to survey my surroundings. My brow furrowed in confusion as I muttered, "Huh? Where is this place?"
