Chapter 1202: Rescue

The starry sky in the night seemed to be shrouded in a black fog. There were only a few faintly discernible stars in the sky, weakly flickering with starlights.

In a dark corner of Starlight City, a middle-aged man dressed in a sackcloth revealed himself.

His body seemed to have merged with the night sky. His movements were cautious. He carefully looked left and right before walking out of the alley. His body shuttled through the night, and soon he arrived in front of an ordinary small house.

He stretched out his hand and knocked 3 times in a row.

There was no sound in the house. The middle-aged man in a sackcloth stretched out his hand and knocked twice again. This time, it was more urgent than the first 3 times.

At this time, the light of an oil lamp lit up in the house.

Looking at the light, the man in the sackcloth had a happy expression on his face.

With a creak, the door opened. A man with a face full of stubble pushed the door open. He was wearing a robe and when he saw the sack-clothed man, he was slightly excited.

Little brother.

The stubbled man took a step forward and gave him a hug.

After the hug, the sack-clothed man asked, Big Brother, hows Third Old Hu whom I asked you to contact? Did he agree to let me out of that secret passage?

Little brother, Ive already contacted him. Third Old Hu has also agreed and said that hell arrange for you to leave Starlight City tomorrow night.

Big Brother, you lied to me!

Hearing the bearded mans words, not only did the man in the sackcloth not feel happy, but he also became vigilant. He quickly took a step back and looked at his big brother. His face was a little pale.

Little brother, what do you mean? The bearded mans face changed slightly, and his body also trembled unnaturally.

Big Brother, tomorrows the 15th of August. Third Old Hu has a rule. On the 15th of every month, hell go to his mothers grave. How could he have time to arrange for me to go out?

You didnt contact Third Old Hu at all! The sack-clothed man said in a deep voice.

He had a premonition that something was wrong. He took a step back and planned to leave this place. Suddenly, 7 or 8 black-clothed men jumped down from the roof.

The black-clothed men had extraordinary skills. They all held sharp scimitars in their hands, and their shiny blades flickered with cold lights.

Bai Cong, Young Master was right. Youre indeed powerful. If we hadnt surrounded the entire Starlight City, Im afraid youd have run away.

Among the black-clothed men, the leader walked out. He stared at the sack-clothed middle-aged man and said with a smile on his face.

The bearded man outside the house had a bad look on his face. He also looked at Bai Cong and said, Little brother, dont blame me. I was forced to do this. You offended that man so if you run away, well all be implicated because of you. Thats why

Thats why you should sacrifice me, right?

A resentful look flashed across Bai Congs face. He gritted his teeth and said, Ive been smart but foolish this time. The biggest mistake I made was to treat you b*stards as true brothers!

Bai Cong, youd better surrender. Young Master only wants your head. If you dont resist, we can give you a quick death.

The leader of the black-clothed men took a step forward. The smile on his face had disappeared, leaving only a cold chill.

Dont even think about it. My life isnt that easy to take! Bai Cong shouted coldly. He suddenly held something that looked like a bamboo tube in his hand.

He pressed his finger lightly on it, and a dangerous aura flashed through the bamboo tube.

Be careful! The leader of the black-clothed men shouted.

At the same time, bamboo arrows flew out from the bamboo tube. These bamboo arrows seemed to have extraordinary powers. It was unknown if they were covered with poison. The black-clothed men did not dare to touch them and hurriedly dodged.

Bai Cong did not hesitate. He took this opportunity to turn around and run.

There were more than 100 bamboo arrows that exploded from the bamboo tube, but only 3 black-clothed men were accidentally injured. The black-clothed mans leader soared into the air and quickly chased after Bai Cong.

This guy was like a rat so who knew when he would dig a hole and leave Starlight City? If that happened, it would be difficult for the black-clothed men to explain to the higher-ups. Now that they had finally lured him out of the darkness, they could not let him escape anymore.

The other black-clothed men who were not injured also hurriedly pursued Bai Cong.

As such, the night in Starlight City was not so quiet.

Bai Cong was only at the early stage of a Venerable One. The few people who chased after him were all Venerable Ones. The leader of the black-clothed men was even top-grade Venerable One.

The gap between their levels was too big, and the black-clothed men had come prepared. If Bai Cong wanted to escape, it was obviously not that simple.

At this time, the leader of the men in black locked onto Bai Congs aura. No matter where Bai Cong went, he would be found by the people chasing him.

Bai Cong, you cant escape at all!

The leader of the men in black came from the sky and slapped Bai Congs back. Bai Congs body flashed quickly, but he was still scratched by the aftershock.

Bai Cong dodged to the side and held his stomach, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth.

They still caught up to him

Bai Cong felt some despair in his heart. From the moment he found out that his big brother had betrayed him, he had expected this result.

After all, those people were too strong. These days, he had been lucky enough to deal with the situation because he did not expose his whereabouts, which made the other party helpless. If he was discovered by their people, it would not be much harder for them to kill him than to kill an ant.

A few figures jumped down and surrounded Bai Cong.

This time, the black-clothed men did not plan to give him any chance. Bai Cong also knew that he could no longer escape.

Butler Bai, youre considered a reputable person. If you hadnt offended Young Master, you could also have a bright future. Its just a pity The leader of the black-clothed men had a regretful look on his face, Offending Young Master will definitely result in death. My name is Ah San. Remember to report my name when you arrive in hell.

A saber-light flashed!

The surrounding air seemed to have become much colder.

It was worth noting that the gap between a top-grade Venerable One and a Venerable One in the early stage was too big, to begin with. Moreover, Bai Cong was still injured, so it was impossible for him to dodge this saber.

The other black-clothed men had savage smiles on their faces. They had searched for so long and finally dealt with this fellow.

Im going to die Bai Cong closed his eyes and quietly welcomed the arrival of death.

Puff!

Suddenly, a sound was heard. Bai Cong felt a chill run down his body but after a moment, he realized that he was not dead.

Im still alive?

Bai Cong opened his eyes and saw an unbelievable scene. The leader of the men in black with the saber had fallen to the ground for some reason, and his weapon had also fallen to the side.

Who is it!

The other men in black turned pale with fright and looked around vigilantly with their weapons in hand.

Puff, puff, puff

The strange sounds of air being torn were heard again. The men in black seemed to have suffered heavy injuries as their bodies rose into the air and fell to the ground.

In the blink of an eye, all the men in black fell to the ground, and only Bai Cong was left standing.

A figure flashed past.

Ou Yangming, who was wearing a black robe, walked out. He looked at Bai Cong and said with a smile, So, youre Bai Cong

Im Bai Cong. Thank you for saving me, senior. Bai Cong first cupped his hands then asked, Senior, how did you find out my name?

Bai Cong was a little curious. Given that the young fellow could kill those men in black in an instant, he was at least a Ruler. Why did he save me? Where did he find out my name?

Ou Yangming smiled. You dont have to guess. I have no malice toward you. I learned everything about you from the Netherworld Pavilion.

I see Bai Cong heaved a sigh of relief and said, If you have any instructions for me, Ill do my best.

Bai Cong was a smart person. The other party would not save him for no reason. He must have some value to him. Furthermore, the young fellow had said that he knew about him from the Netherworld Pavilion. This also happened to prove his guess.

I want you to be my butler, Ou Yangming said his purpose.

A hesitant look flashed across Bai Congs face.

Ou Yangming asked, Whats wrong? Do you feel troubled in any way?

Bai Cong took a step forward and said in a deep voice, Im indebted to your love. Its not that I dont want to be your butler but as you can see, senior, Ive offended someone. That persons influence is very powerful. If I become your butler, Ill surely implicate you.

How powerful is that person? Ou Yangming chuckled and asked with disdain.

Bai Cong hesitated for a moment before saying, The person Ive offended is the second young master of Starlight Citys governor

He told the truth because he wanted Ou Yangming to retreat. The young fellow had saved his life. He could not implicate him because of him.

Starlight Citys governor was very mighty. His young masters also had a lot of power in the city.

If it were not for the fact that the person Bai Cong had offended was too powerful and had sealed off the city, he would not have been in such a sorry state. He would have long left this place and gone far away.

Can you tell me about your matter? Ou Yangming asked.

He knew some information about Bai Cong from the Netherworld Pavilion, but he did not know what kind of conflict he had with the second young master of the governor. If it was because of that second young master, Ou Yangming naturally would not care about anything. If Bai Cong started a fight himself, he would need to think about his character.

Senior, the thing is

Bai Cong narrated the things that had happened to him.

A few months ago, he could be considered an upper-class celebrity in Starlight City. He was a romantic figure who got together with a socialite.

Initially, they were just playmates. After fooling around for a month, they broke up. Unexpectedly, after that woman broke up with him, she hooked up with the governors second young master.

This second young master was also a stubborn person. Nobody knew what he liked about that woman, so much so that he doted on her. That woman did not mention anything about her past, but the truth could not be kept secret. After learning about the relationship between the woman and Bai Cong from others, the second young master was furious.

Bai Cong was unlucky after that

No one tried to reason with him, and no one would talk to the second young master about who came first. In any case, if the governors young master was unhappy, the consequences were very serious.

Bai Congs strength was average. For the time being, he did not have a master in Starlight City, so he could not contend with the second young master. That was why he was chased until he had nowhere to hide. A few of his brothers who were on good terms with him had betrayed him.

Stay by my side. You dont have to worry about the governors young master. After listening to Bai Congs bitter encounter, Ou Yangming said indifferently.

Senior, thats the governors second young master. You cant protect me. Bai Cong laughed bitterly, still feeling uneasy in his heart.

If you leave now, you wont have a way to survive. Following me will give you a glimmer of hope. Im not afraid, so what are you afraid of! Ou Yangming smiled and walked forward.
