Chapter 1136: Chapter 1136: Splitting Forces into Two Paths

They ran wildly, feeling the wind howling past their ears. Gu Fan and Su Hui both sprinted with all their might, especially Su Hui, whose Qinggong was superb, and she gradually pulled ahead of Gu Fan.

"My God, I should’ve learned some Qinggong." Gu Fan couldn’t help but complain, "Sister Su, that’s too much, not coming back to teach me."

Su Hui responded without any niceties: "It’s just to prevent you from learning it and rebelling, raising my rent."

Her words suggested she was guarding against Gu Fan as if he were an enemy, which almost rendered him speechless.

"Alright, let’s take a break." Gu Fan and Su Hui were both young and had some training, so running like this wasn’t a big problem for them, but Gu Fan’s father and Gu Fan’s mother were older and had just experienced the shock of an explosion; they couldn’t be put through such strain anymore.

Su Hui saw the pain on Gu Fan’s mother’s face and checked her leg to find an injury that seemed to have reached the bone.

"This is troublesome!" Gu Fan didn’t concern himself with how serious his mother’s injury was, instead, he turned to look back at the dark forest and perked up his ears for any sounds.

As parents, they naturally didn’t want to burden their children and said, "Xiaofan, don’t worry about us; you go on ahead."

Su Hui immediately took a stance, "What are you talking about? The whole reason we came here is to take you both home safely. Otherwise, why would we come here?"

Gu Fan didn’t look back, arms crossed, his expression solemn, pondering how they could possibly escape.

If they had been surrounded before, they would still have had the chance to escape with Gu Weihai’s help, and it was also thanks to the bombs Gu Weihai had planted around earlier—and luckily, they hadn’t exploded on Gu Fan and the others.

Now, Gu Fan knew one thing: sooner or later, they would be caught up to, sooner or later, they would be encircled once more, and then they’d have to figure out how to extricate themselves.

After much reflection, Gu Fan made a decision: "Su Hui, please take my parents and leave. I’ll draw them away."

"Alright, just be careful," Su Hui understood Gu Fan’s intent; with the Destiny Stone Body Guard, there was no need for fear. They could face the enemy head-on; what mattered most was ensuring the parents’ safety.

Gu Chuanshan was not pleased: "What are you talking about? I’m the father. It’s my duty to protect my children. I should be the one to stay behind."

Gu Fan simply picked up a stone, crushed it in his palm, and said calmly, "Dad, let’s not waste time arguing. If you had my abilities, you could stay, but if not, please cooperate with Su Hui and leave quickly. We really don’t have time."

"Alright then..." Seeing his son’s determination brought Gu Chuanshan a feeling of pride; having such a son was indeed something to be proud of.

Su Hui was somewhat worried, "Gu Fan, even though you have the Destiny Stone Body Guard, you still have to be careful."

"Don’t worry, I’ll act within my limits." Gu Fan had just finished speaking when he suddenly pushed off the ground and dashed in another direction, deliberately making noise to attract the pursuers.

Watching her son take to the road alone, Gu Fan’s mother was concerned, but Gu Chuanshan comforted her, "Our son has grown up; he’s now our pillar of strength. Just have faith in Gu Fan."

Su Hui nodded, "Don’t worry, I understand Gu Fan best. He will be fine, and the quicker we escape, the safer he will be."

Upon hearing this, Gu Fan’s mother nodded, then she and Gu Chuanshan followed Su Hui.

Meanwhile, Xue Lang, during the pursuit, heard noises, quite loud ones, that seemed to be made deliberately.

"How could this be? Why not hide their tracks?" Xue Lang found this abnormal because people fleeing for their lives would normally do everything to conceal their movements. Yet, Gu Fan had not done so, but instead was blatantly obvious, as if he knew that the Xue Clan had good hearing.

Xue Lang recalled the first encounter with Gu Fan, where Gu Fan and Su Hui had deliberately made noise to lure a vampire over and then killed it.

Therefore, Xue Lang couldn’t help but wonder if this was another trap set by Gu Fan. But then he felt that something was amiss; there were too many vampires this time around for Gu Fan’s tactics to work.

Suddenly, a female vampire wearing a mask stood beside Xue Lang with a triumphant smile, "Gu Fan is very clever. He would never make noise on purpose. He’s attracting us over there so that his parents can escape."

"Right, how could I not have thought of that?" Xue Lang was surprised and then glanced at the masked female vampire, adding another question, "Then in your opinion, what should we do next?"

"Of course we shouldn’t take the bait. Since Gu Fan hopes we will follow his steps, we will do just the opposite by focusing our search in other directions," the female vampire with the mask concluded with a proud smile, "Gu Fan is also a fool. He could have perhaps protected his parents by his side, but he chose to outsmart himself by splitting up, so he can’t blame me now."

Xue Lang had an epiphany, "That’s right, with the Destiny Stone Body Guard, we won’t be able to do anything even if we catch up to him. If we’re going to take action, it should be against his parents."

"Let’s go, hopefully we can find Gu Fan’s parents, and then we shall see Gu Fan kneel and beg for mercy," the masked female vampire snorted and then, with a light tap of her foot, leaped into the air.

Xue Lang followed the female vampire with the mask, admiring her graceful figure from behind, and thought to himself, "Gu Fan, the biggest mistake you made was to offend a woman, especially this one."

The other vampires were confused when they saw Xue Lang and the female vampire heading in another direction. "That’s odd, didn’t they hear the noise?"

"Who cares, let’s hurry up and follow them, it’s our chance to shine," the vampires seemed impatient, almost cheering out loud, their hearts as exhilarated as if victory was within sight.

This pursuit was nothing out of the ordinary for the vampires, yet these vampires hadn’t come into contact with Gu Fan and harbored a relaxed and underestimating attitude.

However, unnoticed by everyone, one vampire hid in the shadows, carefully observing the surroundings to make sure he was not discovered. He then took out a cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hello, I have some information. I don’t know why, but Xue Wang has gathered a lot of vampires to track down someone named Gu Fan. That’s all I can say for now. I’m sending you my location." After speaking, the vampire immediately hung up the phone, his heart racing with nervous excitement.

Afterward, the vampire adjusted his composure and chased after the main group, but he still felt residual apprehension. As an undercover agent in Organization X for many years who had managed to gain approval and become a vampire, he might be the only one capable of it.
