At this time, they stopped to rest for a while.
"If we walk a little bit more, we'll be able to leave this forest, and then they won't be able to catch up to us." Zhou Mao said this, his face revealing a hint of a smile.
After pausing for a moment, the group continued onward.
However, after just taking a few steps, footsteps suddenly sounded from the front. Very soon, seven or eight people appeared in front of them.
Seeing these people, Zhou Mao's and the others' faces changed drastically, because they were all members of the Lu Family.
"Zhou Mao, my guess is right. You did not leave the Lu Family, but instead, you were secretly protecting this outsider." The person in the middle looked at Zhou Mao as he laughed.
"Yang Yu, even if you guessed that I would protect Young Master Zhang in the dark, how did you know I would be coming this way?" Zhou Mao's expression turned ugly.
"It's simple. Others might think that you are just a bold and cautious person, but I know that you are not that stupid. If you want to escape from this forest, you will leave from the south. As expected, I, Yang Yu, did not guess wrong." Yang Yu said proudly.
"Yang Yu, let us go." Zhou Mao suddenly lowered his posture.
This posture caused those familiar with him to be extremely surprised. They had never seen Zhou Mao lower his head before.
Even for someone like Zhang Cheng, who had only interacted with Zhou Mao for a short period of time, he was shocked. From the looks of it, Zhou Mao was the type of person who would not even look back once he broke through the southern wall.
"Zhou Mao, this is impossible. Right now, the entire Lu Family is chasing after you. If I let you go, how will you explain this to the others?" Yang Yu said coldly.
"Yang Yu, please consider the Patriarch." Zhou Mao quickly replied.
"No, absolutely not. The only thing I can make you do is surrender, otherwise don't blame us for being impolite!" Yang Yu said.
"Since that's the case, we can only go all out!" Zhou Mao's expression darkened.
As he finished speaking, he held his own Ice Talisman Paper tightly in his hand.
The others, including Zhang Cheng, also held their own ice-cold talismans in their hands. In this period of time, Zhang Cheng had almost fully recovered from his injuries.
"Do you think you can handle us?" Yang Yu replied casually.
"Of course not, or else I won't lower my head. But now, we can only rush out!" Zhou Mao coldly said.
"You overestimate yourself." Yang Yu shook her head.
Zhou Mao did not reply. Instead, he began chanting the words of the rune, and so did Zhang Cheng and the rest.
On the other side, Yang Yu and the rest were chanting the same incantation.
In the next moment, waves of cold air began to envelop the surroundings.
On Yang Yu's side, there were many people, and there were many experts as well. Thus, the balance of victory and defeat was tilted towards them.
A while later, Zhou Mao and Zhang Cheng were already shivering from the cold.
"Zhou Mao, I say you're not stupid, but why are you so ignorant? The Patriarch clearly already lost his power, yet he still wants to stand on his side. Isn't that just courting death?" Looking at Zhou Mao, Yang Yu shook her head.
"Yang Yu, I, Zhou Mao ? How could it be ? Like you're making a clover? " Zhou Mao gritted his teeth.
Just as he finished speaking, the person beside him couldn't hold on any longer and fell to his knees.
Once this person fell, Zhou Mao, Zhang Cheng, and the rest were unable to hold on any longer. In just a few breaths, they all fell to their knees.
"Pavilion Master Yang, what do we do now?" a person beside Yang Yu asked.
"Of course it's to send them back to the clan!" Yang Yu said without any hesitation.
With that, Yang Yu waved her hands, "Take their spatial rings, then tie up their hands!"
Before he could finish his words, the people beside him had already begun walking towards Zhou Mao, Zhang Cheng, and the others.
Seeing that his momentum was gone, Zhou Mao couldn't help but sigh.
Zhang Cheng also had an ugly expression on his face. However, he was powerless in the face of such a predicament.
Master, I, Zhang Cheng, will treat you well! He sighed in his heart.
Right at this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded out in front of them.
Did someone else from the Lu Family come over? Such a thought flashed across Zhang Cheng's mind.
Ye Zichen looked up while thinking. He couldn't help but feel confused, because the people who came were clearly wearing different clothes from the people of the Lu family.
The biggest difference was that they had a "Mu" embroidered on their right chest.
While Zhang Cheng was still puzzled, the expressions of Yang Yu and the rest had already changed. They knew that these people were not from the Lu family. They were from another family in the Piercing Wind City, the Mu family.
The leader Yang Yu was even more familiar with him.
"Hall Master Mu Shan, what a coincidence, to think that we would meet you two here!" Yang Yu frowned.
"Eh? Pavilion Master Yang, why did you start fighting with Zhou Mao and the others?" Aren't you all from the Lu family? Could it be that you guys have started an internal conflict? " Hall Master Mu Shan said in surprise.
How could Yang Yu not see that Mu Shan's surprise was fake?
He immediately said coldly, "Hall Master Mu Shan, this is a matter for our Lu Family and has nothing to do with your Mu Family."
"Pavilion Master Yang, what you said isn't right. Zhou Mao is my friend. As a friend, how can I just stand by and watch as he gets bullied by all of you?" Mu Shan said.
How could Yang Yu believe Mu Shan's words?
He continued in a cold voice, "Hall Master Mu Shan, stop beating around the bush. What are you trying to do?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to help Zhou Mao. I don't want to see him and his men being bullied by you guys." Mu Shan said with a faint smile.
While he was speaking, he had already surrounded Yang Yu's group.
Although Mu Shan's men were on par with Yang Yu's men, Mu Shan's men were clearly much stronger than Yang Yu's men.
"Mu Shan, looks like you want to oppose our Lu family? "You have to consider the consequences clearly. Don't let the Mu Family kick you out!" Yang Yu sneered.
"Hehe, Pavilion Master Yang, don't worry. Our Mu Family is very observant. We won't be like your Lu Family, casually attacking our own people." Mu Shan said.
After saying that, he waved his hand and immediately ordered, "Attack!"
Clearly, he couldn't wait any longer.
Under this kind of order, his people all activated the Ice Magic Talisman in their hands.
Although Yang Yu and the others knew that they were no match, they could only activate their own Ice Magic Talisman.
In that instant, waves of ice-cold qi, with them as the center, attacked each other.
Yang Yu's men were clearly much weaker, so they were only able to hold on for a little longer before falling to their knees on the ground.
"Pavilion Master Yang, are the members of your Lu family alright?" Mu Shan mocked.
"Mu Shan... What the hell... "What do you want?" Yang Yu could not help but say.
"Since things have come to this, I might as well tell you the truth ? "Actually, I came here for Zhang Cheng!" At this point, Mu Shan's gaze directly fell on Zhang Cheng.
"How could you... "How do you know him?" Yang Yu could not help asking again.
"It's simple. There are members of the Mu Family in your family. Since we knew Wu Ziheng's disciple was in your family, how could we not take action?" That's why I'm making a yellow sparrow behind you. " Mu Shan laughed complacently.
"Despicable!" Yang Yu couldn't help scolding.
"If you used to scold me in the past, I'd be very unhappy. But now, let's forget about it, because you're going to be a dead man soon!" Mu Shan said.
Then, his face darkened as he said harshly, "Kill them all except for this Zhang Cheng!"
"Mu Shan, you are ruthless!" Yang Yu and the rest could not help but have their expressions change drastically.
Only Zhou Mao was frowning. He had already seen clearly why Mu Shan had come. He had not interacted with Mu Shan many times, so he naturally wouldn't naively believe that Mu Shan had come for him.
"He seems to be over there. Let's hurry over!"
At this moment, such a sound suddenly rang out from the direction where Zhou Mao and the others had come from.
Mu Shan could not help but raise his head to take a look. With just a single glance, his face looked like he was about to defecate. This was because there were a lot of people in front of them, and one of them was not too far away from them.
They were seniors of the Lu Family. Run for your lives! This thought immediately flashed through Mu Shan's mind.
At this moment, he did not care that much and directly pulled Zhang Cheng to turn around and run. As they ran, he commanded, "All of you, stand behind me and block them!"
At this time, Mu Shan could only hope that his own Mu Family members would be able to come over as soon as possible. Otherwise, he would not be able to escape the pursuit of the Lu Family.
Although the people from the Mu Clan had rushed over to the forest, they did not gather together because they did not know where Zhang Cheng was. Instead, they spread out to search for him.
What made Mu Shan elated was that after running for a while, he saw that there were people from the Mu Family on his right side. Moreover, one of them was an elder of the Mu Family.
"We can be saved!" With that, Mu Shan immediately ran in the direction of those people.
Of course, he did not let go of Zhang Cheng's hand.
Due to running all the way, Zhang Cheng was practically dragged along by him as he ran. The way he was dragged along was practically unrecognizable to Zhang Cheng.
When Mu Shan rushed over, the people from the Mu Family saw him and immediately charged towards him.
By the time he reunited with the people from the Mu family, the people from the Lu family had already caught up with him.
Fortunately, they were a little bit slower, otherwise, things would not be so good. Looking at the people from the Lu family, Mu Shan wiped off his cold sweat.
"Why did your Mu Family want to capture one of our Lu Family's members?" The elder from the Lu family asked the elder from the Mu family.
"It's very simple. We are here for Wu Ziheng's disciple!" The elder from the Mu Family said.
He didn't speak as much nonsense as Mu Shan and went straight to the point.
"Wu Ziheng's disciple is also a member of our Lu Family. We will not allow you to interfere!" The elder of the Lu family said.
"Tsk, tsk. Who doesn't know that Wu Ziheng's disciple is a character that His Majesty has apprehended? Elder Lu He, aren't you afraid that Wu Ziheng will die without a complete corpse if you say that?" The elder from the Mu family said indifferently.
"We of the Lu family naturally know of this. Right now, we also want to capture him and hand him over to His Majesty!" Lu He retorted.
"I don't believe you. What if you secretly release him after you take him back?" The Mu Clan elder said.
"Looks like your Mu Family is going against our Lu Family!" Lu He said coldly.
"It's up to Elder Lu He to decide. In short, we have decided on the person today!" The elder from the Mu family also said coldly.
"Very good, very good!" Lu He sneered.
Before he finished speaking, he was already holding his level five Ice Talisman Paper in his hand.
"Lu He, I've always wanted to fight with you. Today, let me see your strength!" Finished speaking, the elder from the Mu family also took out his own Ice Magic Talisman paper and immediately started to recite the words of the symbol.
At the same time, Lu He also chanted the incantation.
Very quickly, two streams of ice-cold qi were released from their bodies, and they rushed towards each other.
The two of them seemed to be evenly matched, so after a round of sparring, they were still unable to determine who was the better one.
The two of them knew that they could only rely on their own people to determine who was stronger. Immediately, Lu He shouted, "What are you two waiting for, quickly make a move!"
The Mu clan elder's eyes turned serious as he said directly, "Mu Shan, quickly take that person and leave!"
Hearing this, Mu Shan did not care about it anymore, directly dragging Zhang Cheng and running towards the back.
While the two of them were talking, the people on both sides had also activated the Ice Magic Talisman in their hands.
Soon, the surrounding area was surrounded by waves of cold energy.
After fleeing for a while, Mu Shan let out a sigh of relief when he saw that no one was chasing after him.
Looking ahead, his face lit up immediately. This was because their Mu Family had a campsite up ahead. Once they arrived there, even if the Lu Family's Patriarch himself came, he would not be able to snatch Zhang Cheng back.
Furthermore, the head of the Lu Family was most likely trapped within the Lu Family.
He had made a huge contribution this time! Thinking of the reward he would get for bringing Zhang Cheng back, Mu Shan's smile grew wider.
However, at this moment, he noticed the sound of footsteps coming from his left.
Turning his head to look, he found that there was actually a person from the Lu Family who had followed them. This person was actually Zhou Mao, who no longer had the strength to fight back.
"Zhou Mao, you actually came!" Mu Shan could not help but exclaim in surprise.
"Big Brother Zhou!" Zhang Cheng shouted happily.
"Sir Zhang, don't worry. I, Zhou Mao, will keep my word. No matter what, I will make you leave this place safe and sound!" Zhou Mao looked at Zhang Cheng and said calmly.
Zhou Mao had taken advantage of the chaos between the two sides to obtain one of their spatial rings in order to catch up. Otherwise, how would he have been able to catch up to them here?
"Zhou Mao, it seems that only one of us will be able to leave!" Mu Shan said coldly.
After saying that, he dragged Zhang Cheng behind him. In order to prevent Zhang Cheng from leaving, he tied up Zhang Cheng's arms and legs.
This way, he wouldn't be afraid of Zhang Cheng escaping while he was fighting with Zhou Mao.
Then, he took out his own Ice Talisman Paper and stared at Zhou Mao.
In the next moment, the two of them simultaneously activated the Ice Magic Talisman in their hands.
Waves of ice-cold qi immediately surged towards their enemies.
The two of them were powerhouses that could activate a Level 4 Ice Talisman Paper, and their strengths were clearly equal. Therefore, they were in a stalemate for a while.
At this time, both of them were extremely nervous. Zhou Mao was worried that the other members of the Lu and Mu Families would come.
As for Mu Shan, he was worried that the other members of the Lu family would rush over.
Both of them wanted to take the other one down immediately, but they were powerless in this situation.
Zhang Cheng did the same.
