Just as Thomas quickly rushed to the location of Jeffrey's distress signal, Li Zijun on Catherine's back suddenly turned pale and immediately stopped her.

"What's the matter, has there been any change in your injuries?" At such a critical moment, Li Zijun suddenly stopped himself, Catherine thought that she had just touched his wound in a hurry, and she asked worriedly.

"I'm fine, I just suddenly felt that we couldn't go out of the city through the east gate like this!" Li Zijun said with a soft smile to comfort Catherine.

"Weishenme, haven't you already done everything, is there anything else that worries you?" Catherine thought that Li Zijun was still thinking about Yue'er, and she was a little unhappy that Li Zijun still thought of Yue'er at this time, and her tone became a little stiff.

Lee was thinking about how to get out of Khauer Fakkan safely, and he ignored the change in Catherine's tone.

"If I'm right, when Jeffrey sends a distress signal, Thomas will be there as soon as he sees me! ”

"Under normal circumstances, even if we had horses to get from the east gate to Master Audrey and them, it would take at least a day! ”

"And in my current state, I can't ride a horse at all, and even if we can hire a carriage, we can't get rid of Thomas's tracking!"

"Then what do we do now?" Catherine knew that she had misunderstood Li Zijun, and couldn't help but blush and asked nervously. Fortunately, at this time, Li Zijun was thinking about countermeasures, and he didn't notice Catherine's embarrassment at all.

"Thomas usually lives in the northwest of the city of Khorfakan, and whether we choose to go out of the city through the north gate or the west gate, we are likely to encounter him, and it seems that we have only one choice left!"

"Shall we rush to the South Gate now?"

"Don't be in such a hurry, before going to the south gate, we have to go to the east gate to take a turn!" Li Zijun already had a decision in his heart, and a faint smile appeared on his face.

"Now that you're sure that Thomas will chase us east, we're going to risk appearing at the east gate?"

"Thomas has to delay some time in order to save Jeffrey. And he would also think that even if we arrived at the east gate at this time, the city gate would only be opened, and for the sake of Jeffrey's safety, he should not be in a hurry at this moment!"

"Thomas is a Saint-Rank master, and each Saint-Rank master's senses have been strengthened several times, and in terms of his level, he is even more of a master, and he is completely able to track us down based on the faint smell of blood on my body. ”

"And at this moment, the last thing that Khor Fakan, especially the East Gate, lacks is the smell of blood, which also means that it is easier for him to find and find us outside the city!"

"The most important thing is that he is very difficult to find an opponent like me, and he will unconsciously enjoy the process of tracking me. So, as long as we grasp the time, the possibility of encountering him at the east gate is very small!"

"As for us going to the East Gate, we are to announce to Thomas that this is the starting point of the game, and to lead him as astray as possible. As long as Thomas is in a trance a little bit because of Jeffrey's injury, we may be able to buy ourselves more precious time and distance!Thomas will be farther and farther away from us!" Li Zijun said as he took off his bloodstained coat with Catherine's help and handed it to Catherine's hand.

"When you get to the east gate, you find a carriage that is about to travel far away, and sneak this suit into it, hoping that it can really convince Thomas of our whereabouts and drag him for as long as possible!" Li Zijun also knew that this method was not very clever, but at this moment, he could only rely more on luck.

Catherine picked up Li Zijun again, and they came to the east gate as fast as they could.

For so many years, Thomas had forgotten that Jeffrey still had a distress signal in his hands! Suddenly seeing Jeffrey's signal, he could hardly believe his eyes, but he also knew Jeffrey's character, and if it wasn't really a critical moment, Jeffrey wouldn't have joked about it. Thomas was in a hurry!

By this time it was getting dark, and pedestrians were beginning to appear on the road, but Thomas had no idea what kind of commotion his actions would cause, and he hurried to Geoffrey's side like the wind. Thomas was the first to appear in front of Jeffrey without surprise!

Jeffrey was shrunk in the corner at this time, like a frightened rabbit, looking nervously around, and he had long lost the demeanor that a Saint-level master should have!

When Thomas saw Jeffrey's scene, his heart was not only surprised, but also full of worry about Jeffrey!

Since Jeffrey would choose to send a distress signal, Thomas had already predicted that he might be seriously injured. Seeing that although Jeffrey was seriously injured, it would not be fatal or disabled, Thomas could have breathed a sigh of relief, but he didn't expect Jeffrey to have such an expression!

Thomas saw in Jeffrey's eyes the fear that should have disappeared for many years, and Jeffrey's eyes completely frightened Thomas! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed that his most proud Sword Saint apprentice would actually be afraid!

For a cultivator, this is the most fatal blow! Jeffrey, the warrior who was full of fighting spirit and indomitable in Thomas's heart, suddenly wilted at this moment.

Thomas's biggest concern is that if Jeffrey doesn't get rid of this fear soon, it will be a huge question of whether he can keep what he is today. If he can't get rid of this demon, it will be difficult for him to make dimensional progress in the future, and this fear will most likely lead him to a dark dead end!

Thomas was furious, he would not allow his most beloved apprentice to become like that, and he had to cheer up Jeffrey as soon as possible.

"Who made you like this?" Thomas tried to suppress his anger, but there was a murderous intent in his deep voice. He had secretly sworn that he would catch the guy who hurt Jeffrey, and he would tear that man to pieces with his own hands in front of Jeffrey and restore Jeffrey's confidence.

"Master, it's Edlaide back!" Jeffrey hesitated at this point, and finally he chose to hide the truth of the matter.

"I was supposed to rush to Yale's house tonight on the orders of Heller Bixia, but when I got there, I happened to see Edlaide sneaking out of Yale's house. Since it was just before dawn and he was leaving so fast, I didn't have time to see who he was. So, I chased it all the way. ”

"When I got down the street in front of me, he suddenly turned around and attacked me. Although his face was a little disguised, I still recognized him at a glance, Marquis Edlaide of the Dongyu Empire! Unexpectedly, just when I was fighting him the most nervously, the 'Pink Rakshasa' who had been hiding in the shadows suddenly jumped out, although her strength was not very strong, but the 'Nether Ghost Dagger' in her hand made me extremely suspicious. Eventually, with the two of them attacking together, I was punched in the chest by Edlaide!"

"But I didn't make Edlaide any better, and I took advantage of the gap to slap his left collarbone into three knots. I just don't know what method he used, he quickly removed most of my strength, and my palm only hurt his collarbone, and his internal organs were only a little concussion at most, and his internal injuries should not be serious!" Jeffrey gasped.

Before Thomas arrived, Jeffrey had two sets of rhetoric, one was telling the truth, and the other was just that. He hesitated, still thinking that Thomas had concealed the details of the matter, and he was afraid that in that case, the master would guess his intentions, and in desperation, he chose to cover up his greed with lies!

Watching Jeffrey dress up as a child who saw his parents after getting lost, Thomas felt a pang of sadness in his heart!

Although Thomas had never officially fought Li Zijun before, he had already had a relatively objective judgment of Li Zijun's true strength.

Li Zijun and Jeffrey are basically between them, and they have only just entered the dawn now, even with the help of the 'Pink Rakshasa', it is impossible for the battle between them to have a result so quickly!

And according to Jeffrey, both sides ended up losing both, which made Thomas full of suspicions.

There is almost no correspondence between Li Zijun and Jeffrey, let alone a deep hatred, even if Li Zijun is in a hurry to leave, in the case of having the upper hand, there is no need for him to choose such an extreme way to leave!

The fact that so many impossible things are piled up together only shows one thing, and that is that Jeffrey lied!

While Thomas almost exposed Jeffrey's lies in his heart, he has basically recreated the scene of Jeffrey and Li Zijun's encounter, although there are some differences, but this does not affect Thomas to guess Jeffrey's true intentions!

It's a pity that from the moment Thomas saw Jeffrey release the distress signal, even when he heard Jeffrey say Edlaide's name, he was always most concerned about Jeffrey's safety and future, and he had even forgotten his desire to get the cheats from Edlaide.

No matter how the outside world interprets Thomas's person, he has always treated several of his apprentices, especially Geoffrey, like a father. He was actually able and willing to forgive Jeffrey for his greed in this matter, just as all fathers would forgive their own mistakes, though this forgiveness was always accompanied by a wielding stick!

What Thomas couldn't accept was Geoffrey's concealment and deception on the matter! He sighed secretly, forcing himself to let go of the thought and let the idea of quickly improving his martial arts take hold in his mind again.

"Didn't Edlaide have been seriously injured when he rushed out of Khauerfakan, and how did he come back after only a few days? Is there really any way for him to heal quickly, and he can recover quickly?" said Thomas, not so much to question Geoffrey, but to be genuinely curious about the matter.

"When he played against me, he wasn't particularly flexible, but obviously the injury didn't affect him as much as we thought. He's really fine!I wonder if someone from the Cult of Light has healed his injuries?The Cult of Light has a very miraculous way to do this!" Jeffrey was worried that his master would soon be able to see Li Zijun, and he didn't dare to continue to deceive Thomas on this matter. But his statement is equivalent to circumstantial evidence of his lie just now, and Li Zijun is even more unlikely to take the initiative to provoke him when he is injured. When Thomas heard this, he couldn't help but feel a pain in his heart again!

"How was he doing when you separated?"

"When we were knocked into the air, we each vomited a mouthful of blood, and then we left in both directions of the street. Judging by the way he walks, he should be slightly less injured than I am, but there is no difference on the surface!" Jeffrey said with a wry smile, pointing to the blood stain on his chest self-deprecatingly.

"You just chase down the smell of blood he left behind, and you should be able to find him quickly. Although Jeffrey said this, his mood was very conflicted, he wanted the master to catch Li Zijun, but he was also worried that the master would learn his lie from Li Zijun's mouth.

After entering the level, everyone's senses will be increased by several times, or even tens or hundreds of times. It can be said that each Holy Rank has the eyes of an eagle, the sense of smell of a dog, and the speed of a cheetah!

As the leader of the Juggernaut, Thomas's ability in this area is even better! Jeffrey believes that as long as Thomas is willing, Li Zijun will not be able to fly this time!

"Is it okay to let them take care of you?" Thomas asked coldly, gesturing to the disciples who were constantly arriving here behind him.

Jeffrey's distress signal was not just for Thomas alone, but for their entire faction.

While Thomas and Jeffrey were talking, the place had already gathered a lot of people, most of them Jeffrey's juniors. Seeing Thomas standing in front of Jeffrey, they could only stand far away, although their hearts were full of desire to see Thomas, but let them stand in front of Thomas like this, they still lacked some courage and confidence.

"Master, don't worry if you have these kids taking care of me, you better hurry up and track down Edlaide, you can't let this kid run away this time!"

"Recuperate, don't overthink it!I'm going to catch up, I'm going to see what Edlaide is capable of!" Thomas comforted Jeffrey, and turned to leave.

"Master!" Jeffrey suddenly showed a tangled expression, he raised his hand to stop the apprentice who was about to step forward, and kept Thomas's footsteps with a pleading look.

Thomas looked at Jeffrey's embarrassed expression, and had already guessed what he was trying to say. Jeffrey has always been very frank with him about Geoffrey's defection to Heller, and he can understand that Jeffrey has not interfered too much in this matter for the sake of the family.

Yale is a very sensitive figure to the upper echelons of Monlin, and Jeffrey happened to be at his house today, and he must have been ordered by Heller. It's just that Jeffrey doesn't say it, and even if Thomas is a master, it's not easy to ask casually. At this moment, Jeffrey's expression, Thomas felt that it had something to do with Heller's order to Jeffrey.

"Master, I rushed to Lord Yale's house today, and I was supposed to give Yale Zuihou a ride on Bixia's secret order. It's just that I never expected to meet Edlaide there, and although I haven't gotten any definite news yet, I think Yale is just afraid that it will be more than lucky! On the surface, it seems that I was taken early by Edlaide, but this slight difference has once again made Heller Bixia lose face!" At this, Jeffrey gasped and sighed.

"Master, you must catch up with Edlaide, and we must not let him escape from under our noses again!"

Heller's carefully arranged siege of Jihua, Zuihou not only failed to keep Edlaide, but also caused the death and injury of the Juggernaut level master (although Gibran is in disguise, this 'credit' Zuihou will be credited to Li Zijun's head).

If Edlaide escapes from Khauerfakkan again after killing Yale and seriously injuring himself this time, not only will he lose Heller's trust, but both Heller and the martial arts world of the Monlin Empire will be disgraced again because of his greed! This will make the entire Monlin Empire suffer an unprecedented heavy blow!

"Don't worry, I'll definitely bring Edlaide back and let this kid know how powerful our Monlin Empire is!" Thomas patted Jeffrey on the shoulder, and after a few dodges, disappeared from Jeffrey's sight.

Thomas's beautiful movements immediately attracted a chorus of admiration among his disciples, and they were all excited, and watched Thomas leave with admiration and envy.

It's just the same scene, but in Jeffrey's eyes, there is a little different feeling, I don't know Weishenme, he feels the friendship between himself and Thomas, following Thomas's figure more and more farther away!

Li Zijun and Catherine soon found their ideal replacement in the crowd out of town. Catherine quickly stuffed Li Zijun's bloodstained clothes silently under a four-horse carriage.

Immediately, Li Zijun sprinkled some of the most common inferior liquor on his body, hangover is definitely not a good habit, but liquor is the easiest and most practical way to cover up the smell of blood on his body. And in this city, especially in recent times, hangovers have become a very normal thing from top to bottom! Li Zijun's departure made tens of thousands of soldiers seem to have lost their direction overnight, and alcohol has become the only thing they can prove their existence.

Although Li Zijun can still smell a faint smell on himself, this is already the most Haode method he can think of at present. As for whether he can successfully delay or get rid of Thomas's tracking, Li Zijun can only rely on the help of the gods at this moment!

After all this is done, Li Zijun rushes to the south gate with the help of Catherine, the place where Heller once set a trap!

Not long after Li Zijun and Catherine left here, Thomas arrived here. It's just that while Thomas is following the smell of blood left by Li Zijun, he is also thinking about his master-apprentice friendship with Jeffrey for so many years.

For Jeffrey, Thomas has always had great hopes for him, he never expected Jeffrey to repay himself like this, this thought made it difficult for him to return to his usual composure, he had to let himself find a way to vent the anger in his heart. Zuihou, he blames Li Zijun for all the blame for his conflict with Jeffrey.

Pushed by the angry Liliang, Thomas ignored the faint smell left by Li Zijun, and chased in the direction of the bloody clothes as a matter of course.

"What? Yale was secretly assassinated by Edlaide!weishenme came to report that it was you, not the Yale guards?, why did Edlaide come back again?" Heller heard the news from Jeffrey's sending, jumped up from his chair, and he almost ran to Jeffrey's apprentice, and lifted the man from the ground and asked.

"The master didn't know much about the specifics, and when the master arrived there, he was just in time for Edlaide to flee. He quickly chased after him and tried to capture Edlaide, but he was besieged by many people, including Edlaide, and the master was seriously injured!"

The master had no choice but to break through, and at the same time sent a signal to assemble, and the master had already chased after the news was obtained. The master ordered me to go to Yale's house to check on the situation, and when the news of his death was confirmed, I immediately rushed to the palace with Yale's chief of guard, who was waiting for your summons outside. "Jeffrey's apprentice is sharp-toothed, not only easily shirking Geoffrey's responsibility, but also pushing him into a hero who is not afraid of strong enemies and is loyal to the monarch and patriotism, which is why Jeffrey chose him to report the news.

"He still has the face to come to see me, there are hundreds of people inside and outside Yale House, there are so many of them, and not one of them has found Edlaide coming in and out of there, what is the use of keeping such waste for them!" Heller said murderously.

"Bixia, Edlaide is indeed cunning, even my master has fallen for his plot, and the highest level of Yale's guards is only a great swordsman, so it is really difficult to stop Edlaide. ”

"Now that Edlaide has just left, and it is likely that he hasn't had time to leave the city yet, this is the best time to capture him, you might as well let them take the blame, maybe they can play a bigger role!" In order to cover up Geoffrey's defeat, his apprentice had to take a risk to protect the Yale guards.

"Yes, yes, Edlaide may not be out of town yet!" Heller's apprentice's words alerted Heller, who immediately summoned his chamberlain.

"From now on, Hor Fakkan will not be allowed to enter or exit, and if Edlaide is not caught this time, I will not give up!" Heller gave the order to lock down the city.
