Chapter 246: Chapter 246 Escape

"You’re the reason Lin Yi was able to escape with his life this time."

Lou Tingyu’s gaze fell upon the person in black, yet his eyes held very little gratitude.

"I owe you a favor now; I’ll find a way to repay you in the future."

After speaking, Lou Tingyu moved to walk straight into his residence.

However, the person in black suddenly asked, "Why save someone accused of betraying his sect?"

"He’s not a traitor to the sect."

Lou Tingyu coldly continued, "The true conspirator is the Third Elder."

"Lin Yi simply wanted to save someone and was set up by the Third Elder."

"Is there any evidence?"

The person in black frowned.

"If there was evidence, I would have exposed that old man right on the spot."

Lou Tingyu said, "What I’m telling you is what I witnessed with my own eyes, whether you believe it is up to you."

"But even if you know, what can you do about it?"

"If the Third Elder really is problematic, as the Master, I naturally cannot turn a blind eye."

The person in black spoke indifferently.

If anyone had been there, they would have been greatly surprised because this person in black was actually the Master of the Holy Mansion, Ouyang Yue Ming.

"Even as the Master, there are still so many elders above you; aren’t you just forced to watch everything happen?"

After speaking, Lou Tingyu gave a cold laugh, "If you truly had the authority, my mother wouldn’t have died."

After that, he cast a disgusted look at the person in black and walked straight into his dwelling.

Only the person in black remained, his silhouette looking a bit lonesome.

Seemingly reminded of past events, the person in black’s face also showed a pained expression.

"Tingyu, rest assured, I won’t let the same thing happen again."

After speaking, the person in black turned and left Shura Peak.

...

At this moment, Lin Yi and Old Demon Yun Long had already fled from the Holy Mansion, but behind them, a large number of Holy Mansion powerhouses were in hot pursuit.

Old Demon Yun Long’s secret technique had expired, putting him into a weakened state.

Lin Yi was even more severely injured.

In the short term, there was no way to break free.

They were on the verge of being recaptured by the Holy Mansion’s forces.

Just then.

Ahead in their line of sight, a troop of Holy Mansion forces appeared, blocking their path.

The leader of this group was a powerful expert whose aura suggested he too had reached the Sealing King Realm!

"We’re finished."

Both Lin Yi’s and Old Demon Yun Long’s faces showed a hint of despair.

But at that moment, the leader of the Holy Mansion troops suddenly transmitted a message to Lin Yi, "It’s me."

Only then did Lin Yi slowly dispel the despair on his face, and upon closer inspection, his pupils suddenly dilated.

This Sealing King Realm powerhouse blocking the way was actually the Fourth Elder who had initially recruited him into the Holy Mansion!

"Go now."

"I’ll cover for you."

These two sentences from the Fourth Elder left Lin Yi in astonishment.

"What are you waiting for? If you don’t leave now, are you waiting to be caught alive by the Third Elder?"

"Great kindness cannot be repaid with mere words, I shall return the favor in the future!"

Lin Yi gratefully clutched his fist at the Fourth Elder and then, without further ado, he swiftly fled with Old Demon Yun Long.

Looking at the departing figure of the Fourth Elder.

Lin Yi, however, fell into deep thought.

Although he was recruited by the Fourth Elder, the latter wouldn’t go so far as to become enemies with the Third Elder for his sake, would he?

Or was there already a conflict between the two?

But no matter what, the Fourth Elder had saved his life this time, and Lin Yi was determined to remember this act of grace!

Seeing that Lin Yi and his companion had left, the Fourth Elder couldn’t help but shake his head with a sigh, "Such an outstanding disciple has become the castaway of the Holy Mansion, what a pity, such a pity..."

Just then, the pursuers sent by the Third Elder had also reached the spot. Seeing the Fourth Elder leading the team there, they naturally didn’t dare to neglect their duties and immediately stopped.

The leader, Xing Wufa, bowed deeply to the Fourth Elder, "I pay my respects to the Fourth Elder."

"Do you know if the Fourth Elder has seen the sect’s traitor, Lin Yi?"

"Lin Yi? The sect’s traitor?"

Surprise flashed across the Fourth Elder’s face, "I have just returned from abroad and am not aware of the details. What exactly has happened?"

Xing Wufa had no time to explain these things to the Fourth Elder and immediately frowned, saying, "The details can wait until I return to the Holy Mansion to explain them to the Fourth Elder slowly."

"In any case, Lin Yi has colluded with the Demon Sect and betrayed the Holy Mansion. The Third Elder has already ordered that Lin Yi be captured and brought back to the sect."

"Is that so?"

The Fourth Elder’s surprise grew even more intense, "Lin Yi was the World Genius Battle Champion whom I personally recruited. I had high hopes for him, thinking he would one day become a pillar of strength for our Holy Mansion, but I never expected that the boy would turn out to be a spy from the Demon Sect."

"People from the Demon Path are indeed crafty and cunning; I have seen it for myself. I almost let them infiltrate the core ranks of our Holy Mansion."

"Luckily, the Third Elder has perceptive eyes to have rooted out this traitor; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Seeing the Fourth Elder rambling on, Xing Wufa had already grown impatient and simply gave a bow to the Fourth Elder, saying, "Let’s talk about this when we return, Fourth Elder. I will take my men to pursue the traitor now!"

"Wait!"

The Fourth Elder suddenly stopped Xing Wufa. Then he spoke slowly, "I did indeed see Lin Yi with a monk just now. Both looked rushed and headed in that direction."

With that, he earnestly pointed in a direction for Xing Wufa.

Overjoyed, Xing Wufa exclaimed, "Thank you, Fourth Elder!"

"Chase after them!"

After saying this, he made a grand gesture with his hand and led his group of pursuers in a rapid chase.

The Fourth Elder remained on the spot alone, smiling as he watched the pursuers leave.

"Let’s go, back to the sect!"

The Fourth Elder then led his own subordinates back in the direction of the Holy Mansion.

...

Thanks to the "help" of the Fourth Elder, the pursuers sent by the Third Elder ultimately lost track of Lin Yi and Old Demon Yun Long without any gain. They could only return to the Third Elder with their heads down.

"Waste!"

Upon hearing the news, the Third Elder flew into a rage, "Both of them were already gravely injured, and yet you failed to catch up?"

"A bunch of useless fools, what use are you to me?"

Xing Wufa, the first to bear the brunt of the scolding, was drenched in metaphorical dog’s blood, feeling aggrieved, but they had indeed failed in their duties, and however harshly the Third Elder scolded, they had no choice but to take it.

"Perhaps they had a means to increase their speed, otherwise, they would never have escaped our Heaven and Earth Net."

Xing Wufa said gravely.

"Another means? Impossible!"

The Third Elder shook his head, "If they had any other options, they would have used them by now. If it weren’t for that mysterious man in black who appeared suddenly, that boy Lin Yi would have already died at my hands."

At this thought, a surge of anger welled up in the Third Elder’s heart.

Who exactly was that man in black, popping up so timely from nowhere? Could it be that this person has been lurking within the Holy Mansion for some time already?
