Chapter 278: Chapter 278

Also, speaking now would only make the Fang family punish you more severely. Otherwise, if everyone used this as an excuse, wouldn't everyone be able to enter.

But speaking of which, it was also a bit strange. This kid didn't seem very strong, how could he infiltrate here? No matter how careless the Fang family was, their defenses couldn't be so lax that even small fries like Xiaoyao could enter.

If that were the case, wouldn't the entire Fang family have been entered and exited at will long ago.

This problem didn't seem to concern the young woman much at this moment, because what she cared more about was whether Xiaoyao was really here to pay respects. If it was true, then who could this ancient person he spoke of be? Could someone live for three thousand years?

If so, then this person must be terrifyingly strong, someone even the Fang family couldn't afford to offend.

Ordinary people couldn't possibly have such a lifespan. Only the strong could. Even among the Monster Clan with relatively long lifespans, first, being called Monster Clan meant they were already strong, and second, only the strong among Monster Clan could live this long.

After three thousand years, even someone with the most ordinary talent, whether human or monster beast, would definitely be a God Level figure. Moreover, if it were Monster Clan it would be one thing, but if it were human, someone who could live three thousand years would absolutely be an existence beyond God Level, but that seemed impossible.

Because even Martial Gods had never had one live past a thousand years, and even those living past five hundred were rare. Human lifespans were much shorter than Monster Clan, this was also a kind of balance between gains and losses.

Humans cultivated faster than Monster Clan, but their lifespans were much shorter.

Whether human or monster, anyone who could live until now was someone the Fang family couldn't afford to provoke. Not just the Fang family, no one on the entire continent could afford to provoke them.

Therefore, the young woman was very concerned about this. If it were really the case, then if something happened to Xiaoyao here, wouldn't the consequences be very serious if the other party investigated?

No, this matter must be confirmed first.

"This old friend you mentioned, does he really exist? Who is he? Has he lived for three thousand years?" the young woman asked tentatively. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by NoveI~Fire.net

"He exists. If you know about Senior Chen Shiru's affairs, then you must know who he is. If you don't know, then sorry, without his permission, I can't reveal anything," Xiaoyao said.

"..." The young woman fell silent. Who would know about Chen Shiru's affairs? It had been three thousand years, she didn't know if there were any records about this. If not, wouldn't it be difficult to distinguish the truth of this kid's words?

"Young Miss, you chat slowly with him. We'll take our leave first." The three Emperor Level martial artists nearby prepared to withdraw. This matter seemed to have another explanation, and they felt that with Xiaoyao's martial strength, they didn't need to stay. Even just the young woman would be enough, not to mention there were quite a few others beside her.

"Good, you go rest first. I'll handle this person." the young woman nodded.

Just then, something happened that Xiaoyao found somewhat unexpected, while for the Fang family it was somewhat shocking.

In this quiet night, a sharp whistle suddenly appeared, it seemed to be the sound of a signal flare. Soon, Xiaoyao discovered a bright light rising in the night sky. It was a signal flare.

The signal flare's position seemed to be at Fang Family Fortress. It looked like something was happening tonight...

Wait, if something was happening over there while these people were here, didn't that mean their appearance here was very likely a diversionary tactic? Very unfortunately, he had just happened to be caught in this scheme.

Damn, what if these people misunderstood.

When Xiaoyao thought of this, he quickly understood that this was indeed the case, he had clearly been misunderstood.

"This is an enemy attack? Quick, go back. We might have fallen into a trap." The young woman quickly reacted. This signal flare meant enemy attack, and these people who should have been defending over there were now here. Needless to say, it was a diversionary tactic.

"Kid, so you were stalling for time. You're dead." the young woman said to Xiaoyao after the others rushed over.

"Hehe, this is a misunderstanding. Your enemies wanted to draw you away, but didn't expect I'd happen to be here. I'm not with them. Think about it, being here would definitely result in capture by you, and the goal was already achieved with you nearby. Under such circumstances, who would sacrifice themselves here for nothing." Xiaoyao said with a smile.

"Regardless, you're coming with me." The young woman couldn't immediately judge whether Xiaoyao's words were true or false, but in any case, she felt it was better to keep Xiaoyao with her.

"That's not necessary. I'm really just a passerby, not important. You should go about your business." Xiaoyao shook his head. At this moment, he was calculating how to escape. If only the young woman was in front of him, it seemed like a good opportunity to escape.

But the problem was that now that the enemy attack was discovered, the Fang family would definitely have people everywhere for defense. It would be very difficult for him to leave the Fang family. Although this wasn't the very center of the Fang family, it wasn't far off. Getting out from here would require passing through layers of checkpoints, something Xiaoyao had already experienced when entering.

Therefore, Xiaoyao felt this situation wasn't very suitable for his escape, especially at this time when he could still sense some Emperor Level experts' auras nearby. If he escaped, he would definitely be pursued by those people.

"Come with me." The young woman used shackles to bind Xiaoyao. Naturally, she had brought restraining tools when coming to capture people. These shackles weren't simple either, they would lock a martial artist's true qi. Even Emperor Level martial artists would lose the ability to resist when shackled, let alone Xiaoyao, a small early General Level martial artist.

Then the young woman prepared to rush toward Fang Family Fortress, perhaps she could still help somehow.

Xiaoyao helplessly followed the young woman running, since she was pulling the shackles on his hands. However, Xiaoyao also felt indifferent, run if we must. There was no other choice at this time. Moreover, he seemed to feel he needed to go see what was happening.

He didn't know why he had such a feeling in his heart. With his personality, he wouldn't be interested in watching such events.

Could it be that this matter was related to him?

He didn't think about this question for long because he immediately faced a problem—

"Hey, hey, Miss, although I don't mind you taking me along, the problem is don't go climbing walls and roofs. I can't get across."

When the young woman rushed toward Fang Family Fortress, she didn't take the regular path but wanted to go directly over walls, houses, and other obstacles. For her, this was very simple.

In fact, this would also be very simple for Xiaoyao, provided his true qi wasn't sealed.

"So troublesome." The young woman swung the chain in her hand toward Xiaoyao, and the chain seemed to come alive, nimbly wrapping around Xiaoyao's body.

This, could this be...

The young woman pulled, lifting Xiaoyao's entire body, then caught him and carried him on her shoulder, continuing to rush toward Fang Family Fortress.

"Well, Miss, this seems very inappropriate. Why don't you release me and I'll walk over myself." Xiaoyao frowned. This way he'd have no face left, being carried by a woman .

"Be quiet. You have no right to negotiate now. You'd better pray you're unrelated to this matter, otherwise I'll skin you alive." the young woman said coldly.

"You're too violent and bloody. This doesn't suit your identity as a girl." Xiaoyao said, looking ahead.

The journey passed without words. Xiaoyao was soon brought to Fang Family Fortress. If he weren't being carried on someone's shoulder right now, he would surely look around and study the overall design of this Fang Family Fortress.

This was a rarely seen castle. This castle's area was probably the largest on the entire continent. The Fang family's main members generally lived, practiced martial arts, and spent their entire lives within it without ever coming out.

However, at this moment, Xiaoyao could only take a quick glance before being brought by the young woman to a place, one of the Fang family's most important places: the family council hall. This was where everyone usually gathered and also the command center when incidents occurred.

At this time, the Fang family's core members would all be here. This young woman also seemed to have this privilege, directly barging in with Xiaoyao without anyone stopping her, only showing respectful deference.

Indeed, this young woman's identity was not simple.

"What happened?" the young woman asked loudly upon entering.

"Young Miss, why did you bring someone?" an old man surrounded by others looked toward the young woman.

Although Xiaoyao didn't know who this old man was, from the state and expressions of those around him, this old man should be someone with extremely high status in the Fang family, possibly even the family head.

But strangely, why did this old man also address the young woman this way, calling her Young Miss? This seemed somewhat inappropriate for such an occasion.

Either this old man doted on this young woman greatly, or there were other reasons. Xiaoyao guessed this situation was mostly the former.

"This might be the enemy's accomplice. Let me ask you, what happened?" The young woman answered then continued asking.

"Someone just tried to enter the Fang Family Library to steal martial techniques." the old man answered the young woman. His tone had some doting, but also seemed to contain some other emotions.
