The 578th Chapter Variable Ingenious Methods (1)

ery tiring! Carrying oil lamps on your shoulders and holding a bag of snacks with one hand, while trying to eat them with the other that's already too busy. It's truly exhausting!!!" The young lady is...Chapter 578: Versatile Methods 1

This isn't a battle against the Luo family, so they wouldn't just sit back if it were. After all, they are in an alliance where everyone helps each other out when necessary. However, the issue at hand is internal strife within the Supporting Cloud Sect, and for them to interfere would not be appropriate.

Interfering would only bring trouble as people might use this opportunity to say that the Vast Truth Gate is being overbearing, even wanting to meddle in others' internal affairs.

Situ Hao's bid for power was quite normal. For everyone involved, it wasn't a big deal; such events happen every year, and it just depends on whether one succeeds or fails.

"I understand. Since that’s the case, I can only step down," Yun Kaitai said calmly. He knew very well that there was no point in struggling under these circumstances; any efforts would be futile.

In fact, he had already been considering stepping down from his position as sect leader. Gaining something inevitably means losing something else. If it weren't for him being the sect leader now, perhaps his daughter’s situation wouldn’t have become so complicated.

Back then, Yun Qingyi ran away because she was engaged to someone else. He did this in the interest of the Supporting Cloud Sect, fully aware that Yun Qingyi loved Luo Yuntian but still chose to honor her engagement.

"Enough talk, let's get to business. Luo Yuntian, if you want your son to live, then take your own life," Situ Hao said, looking at Luo Yuntian. No one would stop him from doing this, especially not the people of the Supporting Cloud Sect.

"Alright!" Luo Yuntian replied without hesitation, immediately reaching for his head, knowing that Situ Hao was a man who kept his promises.

He understood that if he died, his son Xiyao might be spared, since Situ Hao only hated him. But there could never be any guarantee of safety for Xiyao even then.

The truth was, he had no choice because if he didn’t take his own life, something would definitely happen to Xiyao. At least that’s what he believed.

He could sacrifice his life for Xiyao; after all, Xiyao was his son. Just as he hadn't hesitated when Xiyao had done so before, this wasn’t a decision based on guilt towards Xiyao but rather because of the blood ties between them.

This is what being a father means!

"No!" Yun Qingyi cried out desperately. Regardless of whether she thought others might intervene, just imagining the possibility terrified her.

"Stop him!" Xiyao said.

Lonely Star immediately acted, blocking Luo Yuntian’s hand so that he couldn’t move for a moment. This wasn't because Lonely Star was stronger than Luo Yuntian; it was simply that Luo Yuntian hadn’t used his full strength, possibly not even one-tenth of it.

Self-inflicted death required no resistance. As long as Luo Yuntian didn’t resist, he would die with a simple strike to the head. Was there any need for him to use full force and smash his own head into pulp Even when committing suicide, nobody deserved such a miserable end.

"Why are you stopping me Situ Hao will kill Xiyao. I know him very well," Luo Yuntian said. "Are you willing for Xiyao to die"

"No," Lonely Star replied with his head shaking.

"Then you should let me die."

"Whether or not I allow your death, it doesn’t matter; Xiyao wants to stop this. Stop it!" Lonely Star said simply.

...

"Young man, do you think I’m joking Oh..." Situ Hao spoke coldly, then abruptly stopped because he discovered something shocking: Xiyao had somehow slipped out of his grasp without being noticed.

Xiyao was no longer in the same spot and now stood some distance away from Situ Hao.

It didn't matter how Xiyao managed to escape; even just moving a little earlier seemed unnoticed, yet everyone had their eyes on him. Why did nobody see it

"I don’t think you’re joking, but can you really do anything to me Let me tell you, there’s no one in this world who can kill me—not now and not even after decades of cultivation," Xiyao smiled as he spoke to Situ Hao.

"If you could escape earlier, why didn’t you just leave"

"You said it yourself: I have the ability to leave at any time. I just wanted to see how events would unfold," Xiyao waved his hand dismissively.

"I knew that a mere servant couldn't be forced into such a predicament, but Xiao Jiading, what you're doing worries us," Nan Gong Xuxin said then.

“This small one understands and regrets it,” Xiyao replied.

“Okay, this time I'll let you off, but don't do it again next time.”

"Yes!"

...

Situ Hao looked at Xiyao with a cold face and said, "Do you think escaping once means you can escape completely Look around; all these people are mine."

Indeed, as if to prove Situ Hao’s words, more people surrounded Xiyao, including several divine martial artists. Escaping from Situ Hao's control would not be easy for Xiyao.

At the same time, there were people blocking Luo Xing and others from getting closer to save him.

"Want to capture me Let me tell you, no one can in this world. Even if you replace all your subordinates with God Realm experts..." Xiaoyao sneered and then darted inside the building without breaking through but entering it instead.

“Haha, I’ve seen foolish people before, but never someone as foolish as you! Do you think there’s any way to escape here” Situ Hao saw Xiaoyao dash into the house, feeling rather surprised by this action.

His men had completely taken control of the place. Entering a room would only fulfill those four words—catching a turtle in a jar.

"Go inside and grab that brat for me." Situ Hao ordered some to go in while others stayed outside, confident that Xiaoyao would be captured soon.

“Luo Xing, Mo Yu, should we do something” Nangong Susu asked at this moment.

"No need. Capturing him is impossible unless he wants to be caught." The Miss shook her head, believing in Xiaoyao’s words and having witnessed some of his abilities before.

“Why don’t we guess how he’ll leave and when” said Nangong Third Miss with a smile at this moment.

"Are you not worried about him" Wang Yanyu asked, knowing less about Xiaoyao than them. She usually exchanged theories but was unclear of his actual abilities.

“It’s better to worry about ourselves and how we’ll safely break through. The situation is quite unfriendly.” the Miss replied.

"Unfriendly has just become even more so." Nangong Third Miss added.

"If you’re not worried, why did you all come over in such a rush" Wang Yanyu asked puzzledly; Luo Xing and others seemed quite anxious on the way but calm now. Why

“Worrying is one thing, coming over is another.” The Miss smiled back.

"..." Wang Yanyu seemed to understand a little more.

At this time, Yun Kaitai and Yun Qingyi had arrived beside Lüo Yuntian. Yun Kaitai didn’t speak while Yun Qingyi was saying things like "Why are you so stupid"

A short while later, someone came out but it wasn’t Xiaoyao being captured; a person with an odd expression approached Situ Hao.

"How’s it going Found him" asked Situ Hao.

“No… I haven’t…” the person said weakly.

“Not found him Then why come out” Situ Hao coldly asked. This place was so small, how could they not find him after such a long time

The Lingyun Pavilion might be unique in its construction but it wasn’t big; the total number of rooms barely reached ten.

“We’ve searched several times and found no one…” replied the person weakly, knowing this answer would upset Situ Hao but that was true.

"Searched a few times And didn't find him" Situ Hao looked at the man. Though he thought it funny, he believed the man wouldn’t lie to him.

However, if true, where did Xiaoyao go then This place was under surveillance from all sides; no one could vanish into thin air here.

"Keep searching. If you can't find anyone, tear down the house!" Situ Hao said.

Xiaoyao must be inside somewhere hidden—tear the house down and see where he runs to next.

After a while, they decided to destroy the building, warning everyone inside to come out or face injury from their martial arts. Of course, they would keep watch outside for Xiaoyao’s exit; however, when using martial arts to tear the house apart, no one saw him leave nor his body.

What happened How could he vanish into thin air

If elsewhere, it might make sense that he could dig underground, but here in mid-air, going down would mean appearing before everyone’s eyes; there was no way to hide and dig underground simultaneously.

"He really vanished. Susu, do you know how" the Miss looked ahead, sure Xiaoyao had left but puzzled about his method of escape.

“I don’t know either, just feel something’s off.” Nangong Third Miss looked forward with some puzzlement; there was something strange happening right before her eyes, though she couldn't pinpoint what it was exactly.

At this moment, a female disciple from the Supporting Cloud Sect approached Luo Xing and others, crossing their own sect’s encirclement. The female disciple was quite beautiful with an excellent figure, though not surpassing Luo Xing's group but comparable to them.

"Zhuoran, you've been by my side since childhood, yet you betrayed me" Yun Kaitai said as he looked at the girl.

“No time for chitchat. Off you go!” she replied directly and walked beside Luo Xing et al., saying “Safe now!”

"What do you mean safe" everyone was puzzled, especially Yun Kaitai; feeling somewhat incredulous, Zhuoran had been by his side since childhood, yet felt unfamiliar with her and her tone of voice.

(To be continued)erfect timing for me to use them as sparring partners during my breakthrough…” After hearing this, Miss One said."I'm going too!" Nansong Xinxin said."You don't need to go. Their Imperial level expert...
