Chapter 5: The Shadows
"Slow down!" Long Yuanwu raised his right hand and suddenly broke off.
"What else do you have to say?" Long Yuanmao's eyes were round with angry eyes, and he couldn't wait to fight Long Yuanwu.
"Within three thousand meters, if you can catch me, I will give you the snow lotus, if not, you can go back. As Long Yuanwu spoke, his chin raised slightly, now he has greatly improved his physical skills, and he really wants to evaluate his strength from all aspects.
Previously, he had challenged the Vulture King and proved his physical strength, but it was an instantaneous outburst, and he had to be prepared for a protracted battle when he encountered an intelligent enemy like a human. The difference between an instantaneous outbreak and a protracted war is like the difference between the strength of a lion and a tiger.
"Don't say it's 3,000 meters, it's 10,000 meters, and you can't escape from the palm of my hand. Long Yuanmao looked disdainful. Although his talent is not as good as Long Yuanwu's, he has more spells than Long Yuanwu.
"Without further ado, let's get started. As soon as Long Yuanwu's voice fell, the whole person was like an arrow off the string, and suddenly burst out.
Long Yuanmao did not hesitate at all, and chased after him, his speed getting faster and faster, and the distance between him and Long Yuanwu became shorter and shorter.
Long Yuanwu's home is located in the Xicheng District of Wolong City, passing through several bustling streets. There are rows of houses on both sides of the street, and there are also dense pedestrians on the street.
Due to the excessive flow of people and the fear of bumping into other people, Long Yuanwu gave full play to his advantages in physical skills, and the whole person was almost completely walking in mid-air. Walking between the walls of the houses on both sides of the street, or walking on the roof, his skills are extremely athletic, his posture is as graceful as a cheetah, and he is like a parkour master from another world, crossing into this world of cultivation, and each step is several feet long.
The pedestrians on the street, all of them raised their heads curiously, looking at the two teenagers you were chasing after me.
"Isn't the one in front of you the son of the city lord?"
"The whole city is arresting his family, but I didn't expect him to dare to run home!"
"He's a traitor in Wolong City, let's catch him together, don't let him escape!"
"He must have cultivated the forbidden arts, otherwise his strength would not be so strong!"
"In this way, he did the work of infiltrating the collection room and stealing forbidden arts!"
"If he really did it, then he can't run, and the whole family must die!"
The pedestrians on the street shouted for the traitor, and they all flocked to Long Yuanwu's house, intending to catch him with their own hands.
Hearing the shouts of pedestrians on the street, Long Yuanwu looked frightened, thinking that Long Yuanmao was scaring himself before, but he didn't expect that this matter had already caused a storm in the city. Only then did he begin to pay attention to it, and he was a little worried about his family.
In the process of flying the cornice, he subconsciously paid attention to the reactions of the pedestrians on the street, and found that the pedestrians all shouted to catch the traitor after identifying him. Some people directly joined the ranks of the siege.
As he approached the iconic building, which symbolized his family's status, he found that the entire building was surrounded by armed men dressed in the robes of the deacons of the shadows.
On the wall outside the main entrance, a wanted notice is pasted. Arresting the city lord's family, reporting or assisting in the arrest are all seriously injured.
There were many onlookers in front of the wanted notice, and they were salivating when they saw the amount of the bounty.
Long Yuanwu's sudden appearance, as a bombshell news, exploded in the crowd.
One by one, they all looked up at Long Yuanwu standing on the roof, some pointed, some shouted for him to come down and be arrested, some whistled, some laughed at him for being afraid of death, and some were ready to rush up to arrest him in person.
"His whole family absconded in fear of crime, and he escaped without leaving a single one, but I didn't expect him to come back!"
"Long Yuanwu, your father and your mother have run away, what are you doing when you come back?" One of Long Yuanwu's relatives looked anxious for him.
"If I had known that my parents had run away, I wouldn't have come back. Long Yuanwu said disapprehantly, "I heard that Lin Shuangshuang lifted the seal, injured my father, and kidnapped eight elders, so I rushed back urgently." ”
"Then where did you run just now, your parents are looking for you. This relative of Long Yuanwu asked.
Long Yuanwu was silent, worried that once he revealed his whereabouts just now, he would harm his father and mother.
"Long Yuanwu!" suddenly a shout came. I saw Long Yuanmao panting, and suddenly appeared in front of Long Yuanwu, at this moment, he looked angry, and he couldn't wait to rush to the roof and grab Long Yuanwu with his own hands.
Behind him, followed by a bunch of minions. At the moment, they are all in the mood of watching the excitement. Being able to see the son of the lord of the castle being pulled down from the altar was both exciting and rewarding for them.
They all knew Long Yuanwu's whereabouts just now, but they were not in a hurry to tell everyone, after all, it had been written on the wanted list that those who provided clues could get a heavy reward.
"Long Yuanwu, make a deal with you. Long Yuanmao smiled slyly, his eyes narrowed into slits, and he looked very yin in front of men and very obscene in front of women. Moreover, their family, except for his mother, has inherited the physical trait of squinting.
He originally planned to directly abolish Long Yuanwu and prepare for his father's ascension, but after the confrontation just now, he found that he might not be able to kill Long Yuanwu.
However, he hoped from the bottom of his heart that Long Yuanwu would die soon.
"What deal?" Of course, Long Yuanwu didn't believe that the other party would cooperate with him, but he was just curious about what the other party wanted.
Long Yuanmao's face was sly, and he didn't rush to speak, but slowly walked up to Long Yuanwu and gently passed by him.
"Hand over the snow lotus!" Long Yuanmao's voice was very low, and behind Long Yuanwu's ear, he said what he had just said, "Otherwise, tell the deacon of the Criminal Department where you have just been, and they will definitely send someone to follow the route you just had, and maybe you can find your father and mother!"
After saying these words, he tilted his head slightly and laughed dryly, unconcealing the smugness on his face, and at the same time habitually clenching his fists, as if everything was under his control.
At this moment, Long Yuanwu's eyes flashed with a touch of murderous intention, the dragon has reverse scales, and he will die if he touches it, he can calculate himself, but if someone wants to beat his father's idea, it is seriously violating his bottom line.
Long Yuanwu's fists creaked, his eyes glared angrily, and the two stood facing each other, close at hand.
At this moment, a team of law enforcement officers dressed in dark deacon robes broke through the crowd of onlookers and hurried over to surround the two.
The responsibility of the dark department is to maintain law and order, and it is also responsible for protecting the personal safety of important people such as the city lord and the Council of Elders of Wolong City, and it is also responsible for infiltrating the enemy camp to collect intelligence and carry out assassination and other tasks, which is the most mysterious and powerful combat department in Wolong City.
The leader is Long Yuankui, and Long Yuanben is also among them.
Except for Long Yuankui and Long Yuanben, everyone else wore beast head masks, and they all looked mysterious and abnormal.
The personnel of the dark department are all carefully selected elites in Wolong City, all of them are extraordinary, and they are qualified to lead the dark department, not to mention their skills!
Long Yuanwu, he's not dead yet?
Long Yuanben looked surprised, in order to get the snow lotus, he kicked Long Yuanwu off the cliff before, he thought that the other party would not die and be disabled, but he didn't expect to be safe and sound! This is by no means good news for him! Although their family has controlled the entire Wolong City, there are many people who oppose them and question them.
In Wolong City, the overall strength of their family is second to none, but if other families join forces, it will be enough for their family to drink a pot.
"Long Yuanwu, you traitor, why didn't you run away with your father?" Pointing at Long Yuanwu's nose, Long Yuan ran and shouted.
The thing that they father and son want to get the most is actually that snow lotus, with which they can practice forbidden techniques and fundamentally improve their strength.
In this continent where martial arts are respected, everything speaks by strength. Self-improvement is far more important than eradicating dissidents.
"Why should I run away?! Only those with weak hearts will flee, and only those who are afraid of sin will flee!" Long Yuanwu was stern in his words, and his face was not afraid.
"Well said! Well said!" Long Yuanben smiled faintly, with a sly look on his face, and pointed at Long Yuanwu and said, "Even if you didn't do it, your father and mother did it, otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to flee impatiently before they launched the investigation!" Long Yuanran to the sky and smiled, under the watchful eyes of the clansmen, he did not hide the smugness on his face at all.
The echoing laughter resounded throughout the street. Almost no one doubts that the collusion between the inside and outside to steal was done by Long Yuanwu or his father.
