Chen Li and Shen Qingyue pretended to be innocent as they dashed around the courtyard, their laughter ringing out like the chirping of birds.
"Ha ha! Come catch me! Come catch me!"
"You can't catch me, silly! Can't catch me!"
The two little rascals chased each other joyfully, driving Old Madam and the servants to the brink of frustration.
"Stop right there, you little brats!"
Old Madam shouted angrily, her Dragon-Headed Cane striking the ground with a resounding thud.
However, Chen Li and Shen Qingyue paid no heed to her fury, continuing their playful antics in the yard as if deliberately challenging her authority.
Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Li noticed Old Madam's face turning an alarming shade of red, and he felt a surge of satisfaction.
This old hag had bullied his mother more than once; today, it was time for her to experience the taste of being toyed with!
Seeing that her words had no effect, Old Madam's expression grew even darker.
She trembled with rage, pointing at Chen Li and Shen Qingyue as she shrieked, "This is insurrection! Get someone to capture these two little beasts!"
At her command, two guards sprang into action without hesitation, swiftly moving towards Chen Li and Shen Qingyue.
They were seasoned warriors, and capturing two unarmed children should have been a piece of cake.
But to their surprise, the children were as nimble as weasels, darting around the courtyard and evading capture effortlessly.
The guards lunged and grabbed at thin air, exhausting themselves in the process.
"Are these two little rascals made of mud or something?" one guard muttered under his breath.
The other guard was sweating profusely; wiping his forehead, he growled, "Stop talking nonsense! Old Madam has spoken; if we let them escape, we'll be in deep trouble!"
Though young, Chen Li and Shen Qingyue were not without their advantages.
They had been cultivating since they were in the womb; if it weren't for their frail bodies unable to handle too much Vital Energy, they might have already escaped from Wuding Marquisate.
At this moment, they tapped into their meager Vital Energy, becoming even lighter and quicker as they zipped around the well in the courtyard, leaving the guards far behind.
"Ha ha! Come catch me, you fools!"
Shen Qingyue called back while making faces at them, infuriating the guards even more.
Old Madam was seething with rage; witnessing this scene only fueled her anger further.
She slammed her Dragon-Headed Cane against the ground again with a loud bang.
"A bunch of useless fools! You can't even catch two little beasts! If you let them escape again, I'll break your legs!"
Receiving the order from Old Madam, the two guards no longer held back. They exchanged a glance, a glint of ruthlessness flashing in their eyes.
"You little brat, don’t blame us for being rude!" one of the guards shouted angrily, his palms flying as fierce gusts of wind surged towards Chen Li and Shen Qingyue's backs.
The other guard was equally relentless, leaping into action like a hawk pouncing on its prey, aiming to grab Shen Qingyue. His sharp nails glinted ominously; if he caught her, it would surely leave several bloody marks on her delicate skin.
Out of the corner of his eye, Chen Li caught sight of this scene and felt a chill run down his spine. He realized that the guards were serious this time! Grabbing Shen Qingyue's small hand, he whispered urgently, "Shen Qingyue, run!"
Although young, Shen Qingyue understood the gravity of the situation. She tightly followed Chen Li as they darted around the courtyard like phantoms, evading the guards' attacks.
Boom! A loud crash echoed as one guard's palm strike missed its target and slammed into a large tree in the yard, sending splinters flying. The tree, thick as a bowl, was actually snapped in half!
This is bad! Chen Li thought to himself. The strength of these guards was beyond what he had imagined. If this continued, both he and his sister would be doomed!
His mind raced until suddenly his gaze fell upon an ancient well in the center of the courtyard. This well was also a prison within Beast Pen and was said to be over a hundred years old. It was shrouded in a faint barrier that supposedly sealed a beast inside.
With this thought in mind, Chen Li whispered to Shen Qingyue, "Come with me!" He pulled her toward the direction of the well.
"Trying to escape? No way!" The guards sneered upon realizing Chen Li and Shen Qingyue's intentions and quickened their pace to chase after them.
Whoosh! The sharp gusts of wind came again.
Now’s our chance! A spark flashed in Chen Li's eyes as he suddenly yanked Shen Qingyue along with him. They leaped just in time, narrowly avoiding the attacks.
All the strikes landed squarely on the ancient well.
What?!
The two guards were immediately taken aback.
In the next moment, a violent tremor suddenly erupted from the bottom of the well, followed by a dazzling beam of light shooting up into the sky, piercing through the clouds!
Boom!
With a deafening roar, the barrier above the ancient well shattered, scattering like starlight into the air.
The two guards stared in horror at this scene, momentarily forgetting how to react.
Old Madam stumbled back a few steps, forgetting about dealing with Chen Li and Shen Qingyue, trembling all over as she shouted, "Useless fools! What are you doing? Quickly seal the barrier!"
Only then did the two guards snap back to reality, swiftly channeling their Vital Energy as they approached the ancient well.
However, just as they got closer, a powerful force erupted from the bottom of the well.
Puff!
The first guard to charge forward was instantly blasted away, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood, his face turning pale as a sheet.
The other guard quickly unleashed his martial technique and struck towards the well's opening.
Yet before his palm could reach the well's mouth, an invisible force consumed it entirely, leaving no trace behind.
How is this possible?!
The guard's eyes widened in disbelief.
Suddenly, the once calm water in the well began to churn violently, and a tremendous force surged from its depths, dragging him in without warning.
A deafening beastly roar echoed from the bottom of the well, resonating throughout the entire Wuding Marquisate!
Everyone looked up in terror to see a massive shadow slowly rising from the well's opening.
The shadow towered several meters high, covered in pitch-black scales. A pair of crimson Giant Eyes glimmered with a ferocious light as it opened its gaping maw, revealing sharp fangs.
A suffocating stench assaulted their senses; with every movement of that shadow, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.
Its crimson Giant Eyes scanned the crowd as if selecting its next meal.
A Three-Three Grade Beast! one guard trembled as he spoke, his face as white as paper. It was equivalent to a peak Innate Realm Ironclad Earth Dragon!
