Chapter 644: Chapter 190 Chen Jiusi How Dare You! (Seeking Monthly Pass)_5

At this moment, a masked man wielding a chain blade was seen carrying Nan Batian on the rooftop, flipping over agilely like a constantly soaring wild goose, with graceful and varied moves.

Below, Lord Yelu and his party were chasing on horseback.

Soon, the group reached the city gate. The masked man in black, wielding the chain blade, threw it directly onto the city wall, then with one forceful movement, he flipped over the city wall and flew out of the county town.

At this time, Lord Yelu and his party arrived on horseback.

The guards at the city gate were startled at the sight of so many people but quickly recognized Lord Yelu and hurriedly shouted, ”Lord Yelu.”

Lord Yelu said, ”Open the city gates!”

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately opened the gates, and the group chased after the fleeing man.

By then, the masked man in black had already run far away. His strength was astounding; carrying Nan Batian, he seemed to tread on flat ground, fleeing swiftly and employing the Qinggong Grass Flying technique, unexpectedly not slowed down by the horses.

Thus, the group persisted, one running and the others chasing, one running and one chasing.

They quickly arrived at Mianshui River Shore nearest the county town, delighted at the sight of the river, thinking they could stop the man. But unexpectedly, the man shouted, and immediately a small boat approached from the river.

The man, carrying Nan Batian, leaped onto the small boat and then ordered the boatman to leave immediately.

Seeing this, Lord Yelu and his party were greatly anxious, chasing to the riverbank as the boat had already moved a hundred meters away from the river.

Lord Yelu said, ”Find a boat!”

There was silence behind him, and after a long while, Lord Yelu turned to Chen Jie and Elder Liu and asked, ”Where are the boats?”

The two exchanged glances, then shared a wry smile, ”Lord Yelu, the river has been closed, our boats are all sealed!”

Snap!

Hearing this, Lord Yelu, furiously whipped his horsewhip in the air.

Then, with anger seething, he commanded, ”Back to the city!”

The party followed Lord Yelu back to the city where he gruffly ordered, ”Get the word out, issue a sea arrest warrant, put out a bounty for Nan Batian!”

”Yes.”

Mu Ge immediately acknowledged.

Lord Yelu was furious. So many people had surrounded a single man, Nan Batian, only to let him escape, utterly disgraceful.

Especially since he himself had exposed his Qi Blood Holding Core Realm cultivation, yet still let him escape.

Now that Nan Batian had fled, once he had recovered, they would likely have another enemy in the Holding Core Realm to contend with.

Thinking this, Yelu’s face turned dark with anger, but he was helpless.

At that moment, Chen Jie also slightly furrowed his brow, finding the situation troublesome. Nan Batian had escaped, and what’s more, it was a Nan Batian who had successfully reached the Qi Blood Holding Core Realm. When he returned, wouldn’t he have to face an enemy of the Holding Core Realm?

And there was another assistant at the same cultivation realm as Nan Batian, adding to Chen Jie’s pressure.

Unacceptable! Upon returning, he must collect herbs to refine Qi Blood Pills. He himself must quickly breakthrough to the Holding Core Realm; otherwise, once Nan Batian recovered and made his breakthrough, he might be in grave danger.

Fortunately, Nan Batian’s injury was severe and likely wouldn’t heal quickly, giving him some preparation time.

Moreover, Nan Batian’s enemies were not only himself but also included Yelu, a strong figure in the Holding Core Realm. With him around, if Nan Batian sought revenge, it would be quite difficult.

Additionally, the Inspection Envoy had arrived, and while Commandery Princess Zhao Ya’s strength was unknown, all three of her subordinates were at the Holding Core Realm. This meant if Nan Batian were to come back and resist the court, he was bound to be ruthlessly suppressed.

His safety was somewhat assured, but no one’s strength could match his own.

He still needed to find a way to enter the Holding Core Realm.

Before that, though, he should savor his victories.

With Nan Batian’s downfall, he was now the Fishing Guild Leader.

At this time, as the group returned to the city gate, Lord Yelu looked to Chen Jie, saying, ”Jiu Si, since Nan Batian has fled, Guild Cao cannot remain leaderless. I believe you should temporarily take the role of guild leader.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie immediately cupped his hands and said, ”Yes, Lord Yelu.”

Lord Yelu said, ”Hmm, the remaining matters are thus: Mu Ge, you and Chen Jiusi lead the troops and seize the Fishing Guild Headquarters. We’ll discuss the rest tomorrow.”

”As for the specific appointment of Jiu Si, let’s talk about it tomorrow.”

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Yes!”

”As for Guild Leader Liu, I appreciate your hard work today.”

Lord Yelu, looking at Elder Liu, heard him reply, ”It’s what I should do.”

After that, Lord Yelu left.

Then, Chen Jie and his group immediately headed for the Fishing Guild Headquarters. Mu Ge said, ”Congratulations, Jiu Si, on ascending to the position of Fishing Guild Leader!”

Chen Jie bowed and said, ”Temporary, temporary guild leader.”

Mu Ge said, ”That’s just Lord Yelu letting you handle things temporarily tonight, by tomorrow he will likely officially appoint you as guild leader and hold a ceremony for you, then I’ll have to call you Guild Leader Chen.”

After hearing this, Chen Jie said, ”Commander Mu Ge is jesting. In the position of guild leader, I am merely supported by our lord.”

Mu Ge then looked at Chen Jie, ”Jiu Si, today you truly impressed me; you’ve silently mastered the Seventeen Dragon Capturing Palms. Truly, silence precedes excellence!”

Chen Jie bowed and said, ”Regarding this, I will explain personally to Lord Yelu tomorrow.”

After this remark, Mu Ge said, ”Heh, good, I await your personal explanation.”

With that said, the group had reached the Fishing Guild, where the underlings of the guild had already been subdued.

White Tiger Hall was controlling the entrance, preventing anyone from entering. Seeing them, Chen Jie said, ”Make way, by the order of Lord Yelu, we’re here to seize the properties of Nan Batian.”
