Chapter 924: Chapter 924: Full-Scale Manhunt!

Yun Feifei hadn’t expected Zhou Yu’s injuries to be this severe.

She immediately made a decisive decision:

"Zhou Yu, come with me. I’ll take you to find my uncle and ask him for help."

Zhou Yu hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said,

"How about this? You go find your uncle and hide with him for now."

"I’ll move alone. Qi Denian won’t find me so easily."

Yun Feifei, being sharp as always, immediately caught on that Zhou Yu was worried about causing trouble for her uncle.

"Zhou Yu, in this matter, you must listen to me."

"My uncle is an outer disciple of the Taoist Sect. Qi Denian might look down on everyone else, but when it comes to the Taoist Sect, he wouldn’t dare provoke them."

"The Taoist Sect?"

Zhou Yu was startled.

He had occasionally heard bits and pieces about the Taoist Sect before.

However, since entering the city, he hadn’t gotten the chance to interact with any of its people.

He hadn’t expected Yun Feifei’s uncle to be an outer disciple of the Taoist Sect.

Zhou Yu was just about to ask more questions when his Divine Sense suddenly detected several powerful auras looking for him.

It was Qi Denian’s men!!!

There was no time to waste, and Zhou Yu had no chance to ask further questions.

After a brief moment of thought, he said,

"Sister Yun, I’ll listen to you."

Yun Feifei let out a sigh of relief. She had feared Zhou Yu might be too stubborn to accept her offer.

"Zhou Yu, come, lean on me, let’s move."

With that, Yun Feifei draped Zhou Yu’s arm over her shoulder, using her frail body to support him as they quickly headed in a chosen direction.

Before leaving, Zhou Yu discreetly used the Force of the Primordial Spirit to erase both his and Yun Feifei’s traces.

But just a few minutes after they left, more than a dozen figures arrived at the spot.

Leading them was none other than Qi Denian.

At this moment, Qi Denian’s face was filled with rage.

He was a man known for his caution. It was a trait that had saved him from deadly situations several times, allowing him to get to where he was today.

Yet just a short while ago, he had actually been deceived by Zhou Yu. During that moment when he was struck by the Primordial Spirit, his mind had been thrown into utter chaos, and he had almost lost his faculties entirely.

If it weren’t for the fact that Zhou Yu was grievously injured beforehand, with multiple shattered meridians and one arm rendered useless, those few minutes of mental disarray could have cost Qi Denian his life many times over.

After regaining his senses, Qi Denian felt not only lingering fear but also an overwhelming grudge against Zhou Yu.

He vowed to kill this insolent brat who had left him in such a disgraceful state and nearly took his life.

Thus, utilizing a Secret Technique, he had tracked Zhou Yu’s aura all the way to this location.

But upon arriving, Zhou Yu’s aura had suddenly vanished into thin air.

Qi Denian surveyed his surroundings, his eyes glinting with a chilling light.

"Could he have realized I was tracking him?"

"Hmph."

"I don’t care which tiny hole you’re hiding in. I’ll find you and tear you to pieces."

Qi Denian immediately barked orders to his subordinates.

"Mobilize everyone at once and spread out—search the entire city."

"No matter what it takes, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, find him for me."

"He’s gravely injured. Once you locate him, no need for words—just kill him."

"If he resists desperately, use the ’Golden Mantis Gu’ if necessary!"

"Anyone who kills Zhou Yu will be richly rewarded!"

Hearing Qi Denian’s command, his more than ten subordinates immediately shouted in unison, their morale like that of soldiers injected with a stimulant:

"Yes!"

...

In a narrow alley on the eastern outskirts of Nan County.

Yun Feifei raced with Zhou Yu as fast as she could, carefully choosing secluded paths and avoiding crowded areas to keep from drawing attention.

But they had underestimated how extensive Qi Denian’s influence in Nan County was.

Not even half an hour after Qi Denian had issued his orders, the number of people scouring the city for Zhou Yu had exceeded a thousand, spreading throughout every street and alley in Nan County.

Despite Yun Feifei’s caution...

She and Zhou Yu were eventually cornered.

In front of them, a small squad of people blocked their path.

Leading them were two Early Holy Realm experts, the same pair who had just witnessed Zhou Yu’s fierce confrontation with Qi Denian in the tavern.

The two men were briefly stunned upon spotting Zhou Yu. Their eyes then immediately lit up with excitement.

Experienced and cautious, they wasted no time moving to block Zhou Yu and Yun Feifei in a pincer from both ends of the alley.

One of them sneered coldly.

"Zhou Yu, do you still think you can run?"

"The entire Nan County is crawling with people sent by the Family Head. Today, you won’t escape even if you sprout wings."

Seeing that the obstacles in front of him were merely two Early Holy Realm Martial Artists, Zhou Yu’s eyes turned icy, brimming with killing intent.

If it were Qi Denian himself giving chase, Zhou Yu would indeed have no choice but to flee.

But facing these two? Early Holy Realm Martial Artists were nothing to him, especially after he had been gradually recuperating his injuries using Yi Wood True Qi along the way.

While the shattered meridians remained beyond repair, his other wounds had improved significantly, making him more than capable of dealing with one Early Holy Realm opponent.

Wasting no words, Zhou Yu turned to Yun Feifei and said,

"Sister Yun, one each—finish this quickly!"

Yun Feifei nodded without hesitation and immediately launched an attack on one of the Holy Realm Martial Artists at the far end of the alley. Meanwhile, Zhou Yu advanced toward the other Martial Artist near the alley entrance.

The man scornfully glanced at Zhou Yu, whose body was drenched in blood and who had one arm hanging uselessly by his side.

"Kid, you’re already this gravely injured and still haven’t knelt to beg for your life? What, you think you can fight me in this state?"

Zhou Yu couldn’t be bothered to waste words on him. With a sudden activation of the Mountains and Rivers Step, he closed the distance in an instant. At the same time, he channeled Dragon Gang Strength and delivered a thunderous punch.

The man reacted swiftly, immediately channeling his own Gang Jin to counter the attack.

Boom!

Their blows collided ferociously.

As the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. Despite his severe injuries, Zhou Yu still had the upper hand against an Early Holy Realm Martial Artist.

The impact of his punch forced the man to stagger back more than ten steps, blood seeping from the corner of his mouth.

"Get lost if you wish to live."

Zhou Yu could have killed the man, but it would have taken time—time he didn’t want to waste here.

However, after steadying himself, the man simply wiped the blood from his mouth and coldly glared at Zhou Yu.

"As expected of someone who dares to go head-to-head with the Family Head. You truly are remarkable."

"But do you really think this will be enough to scare me?"

"If so, you’re underestimating the Qi Family far too much."

As he spoke, he extended his hand. Moments later, a golden, mantis-like Gu insect crawled out from his arm.

The man’s eyes gleamed with frenzied reverence as he gazed at the Gu insect.

Without hesitation, he slapped the golden Gu insect directly onto the center of his chest...
