Chapter 812: Chapter 812: Don’t Run, Because You Can’t

In the wasteland, the gazes of tens of thousands of people all converged upon Carson Flores in the sky above the barren mountain, with countless people changing their expressions.

That sentence contained a lot of information!

Carson Flores and Bryant James obviously had a major conflict, earlier they were sneering and jeering at each other, and had almost come to blows; they had just been chatting when Carson Flores suddenly broke away from Bryant James and shouted out like this—what was the situation?

Ambushed after leaving Mount Kahdas?

What does "ambush" mean?

A targeted interception, lying in wait at a certain place—that’s what ambush means!

Bryant James’s face suddenly turned.

He wasn’t afraid of Carson Flores publicly revealing the attack he had suffered outside of Mount Kahdas, after all, there was no evidence pointing to him; what he feared was the sentence Carson Flores said.

Tobias Singleton was here!!!

Although he didn’t personally order Tobias Singleton, the one who appeared was Jordan Harvey, but who at Mount Kahdas didn’t know that Jordan Harvey was his loyal confidant?

Moreover, the incident involved a favor he owed Tobias Singleton—if Tobias Singleton got caught, then his own exposure would be a certainty.

This damned Tobias Singleton, couldn’t even kill a person properly, and now his identity was exposed!

The exposure of his identity was not a big deal, but how did he end up here?

Within the crowd, Adelaide Bautista’s face also changed.

Her gaze swiftly fell on Bryant James’s face, just in time to see that sudden change of color in his expression, and her own eyes turned cold with murderous intent.

He actually hired someone to ambush Carson Flores!

Delaney Hunter looked surprised and confused. Tobias Singleton was here?

Carson Flores hadn’t mentioned it, had he?

Was this guy bluffing, or was it true?

On the wasteland, aboard the Flying Boat, countless people looked at each other in dismay.

"Tobias Singleton!"

"He’s here!"

A sudden outcry arose, instantly drawing everyone’s attention.

People turned their heads, only to see at the edge of the wilderness, a figure suddenly leapt up from a Flying Boat. Dressed in a Taoist robe with a sullen complexion, if it wasn’t Tobias Singleton, then who was it?

Tobias Singleton turned into a streak of Golden Light, rushing towards the horizon at breakneck speed.

Carson Flores’s eyes lit up, and he was about to speak out when a shadow flashed behind him. Adelaide Bautista, clad in black, had already become a streak of black light, chasing after Tobias Singleton.

Adelaide Bautista was fast, but someone was even faster.

A figure clothed in azure appeared in the sky, and with another flash, was already at the horizon—the speed was astonishing.

Delaney Hunter leaped up, coming to Carson Flores’s side.

Carson Flores said anxiously, "Senior Sister, why aren’t you chasing?"

Delaney Hunter smiled and said, "Others are chasing, he won’t get away."

Carson Flores suddenly snapped back to reality, his eyes shining, "Big Brother?"

Delaney Hunter smiled, "That’s right, someone brazenly ambushed his little junior brother, he certainly won’t stand idly by. Don’t worry, with Big Brother helping you today, you have nothing to fear!"

Carson Flores immediately became excited—with Tobias Singleton caught, wouldn’t that confirm the truth of Bryant James hiring someone to commit murder? In front of everyone, wouldn’t that be like slapping Bryant James hard across the face?

He looked down at Bryant James, noticing that although Bryant James appeared calm, his eyes were already betraying restlessness and unease.

Heh heh, starting to panic!

Delaney Hunter asked curiously, "How did you know Tobias Singleton was here?"

Carson Flores replied with a smile, "I guessed. Tobias Singleton ambushed me; he obviously knew my identity. I have something he wants. He didn’t dare to capture me at Nutwood Mountain, yet he guessed that I would participate in this competition—so he must have come here to see if there was a chance to capture me."

Delaney Hunter asked curiously, "What is it?"

Carson Flores replied in a low voice, "A lost secret technique—Miss Adelaide secretly gave it to me, and I understood it myself. That day, it was because of this secret technique that I managed to escape from Tobias Singleton’s pursuit."

Delaney Hunter nodded in understanding, without further inquiry.

Carson Flores had secrets, and not just one or two—Delaney Hunter never asked him, and even actively avoided those topics.

Cultivators, who didn’t have some fortuitous encounters, who didn’t have some secrets?

...

Tobias Singleton’s face was ashen, as he fled in panic.

He had been hiding on a Flying Boat at the outskirts, and hadn’t even considered Carson Flores; how had Carson Flores known he was there?

After fleeing for over a hundred miles in one breath, he finally took a deep breath and slowed down slightly, turning his head to look back.

Tobias Singleton’s expression suddenly froze, his pupils filled with fear.

Right behind him, a few dozen meters away, stood a man in green, looking at him with a calm expression, devoid of any trace of Spiritual Energy fluctuations, as if he barely existed at all.

With an ugly grin that was worse than crying, Tobias Singleton exclaimed, "Benson Bernard!!!"

The man in green smiled faintly, "Since you recognize me, come back with me. Don’t run, because you can’t get away. And don’t try to kill yourself, because even if you do, I’ll still get the answers I want with the Soul Searching Technique. You’d only be adding to your own pain."

Despair filled Tobias Singleton’s face, "Am I going to die?"

The man in green shook his head, a kind and honest smile on his face, "Since my little junior brother is alright, you naturally don’t have to die. However, you’ll have to pay for what you’ve done and suffer some punishment. After all, my Nutwood disciples are not to be bullied by just any Tom, Dick, or Harry."

Tobias Singleton let out a huge sigh of relief and nodded eagerly, "I am willing to accept the punishment... It was Bryant James who instructed me to do it, he was the mastermind!"
