Chapter 1505: Chapter 1505: Successful Escape

The hunters, Qian Feng, and the boss launched another assault on the Tower of Darkness. The battle outside was raging once more.

In the command center of the Tower of Darkness, Mo Yun kept her eyes glued to two screens, one showing the battle outside, the other displaying the elevator to the underground laboratory.

In Mo Yun’s heart, there was no need to concern herself with the other enemies; she just needed to keep an eye on Gu Fan and the few most formidable ones.

"Something’s not right, something’s not right!" Mo Yun was somewhat puzzled. Logically, after the first forced attack failed, they should have changed their strategy for the second attempt.

Now, the hunters, Qian Feng, and the boss were still adopting the same frontal assault method as before, and compared to the first initiative, they were one person short without Lin Xi.

If four couldn’t breach the periphery defenses of the Tower of Darkness, how could three manage it?

"What on earth are you playing at." Mo Yun began to worry.

And at that moment, in the woods outside the Dark City, Qian Ying was casting a spell with full concentration, accompanied by Jie, Ning Qi, Xue Xue, Li, and several elite members of the Hunter’s Guild, all safeguarding her as she cast the spell.

Standing to the side was Ye Yue, who had become a hostage. She was pitiable, still held in the arms of a female vampire. If she dared to make any rash moves, the vampire could bite through her neck at any moment.

However, Ye Yue was somewhat intrigued by Qian Ying, who was in the midst of casting. She also understood magic and knew what Qian Ying was doing; she was definitely focusing intently on controlling something.

After observing for a while, Ye Yue was certain that the female vampire holding her was also under someone’s control, and it was very likely Qian Ying.

If Qian Ying could be woken up, then Ye Yue could break free, but she didn’t dare make any hasty movements.

Ye Yue also had a bad premonition; maybe Qian Ying wasn’t just controlling one vampire, perhaps several, and if so, where had these vampires gone, and could it be they had already...

In fact, Ye Yue’s guess was correct; this was the alternative plan devised by Su Hui.

The first step was to capture more than a dozen vampires, all to be controlled by Qian Ying.

The second step involved Lin Xi, Qian Feng, the boss, and the hunters making a frontal assault to draw the enemy’s attention and create chaos.

The third step had Su Hui, Gu Ling, Hai, and others infiltrate the Tower of Darkness through a secret passage, and if they could rescue Gu Fan, it would be the best scenario.

The fourth step, while the situation was chaotic, involved the more than a dozen vampires controlled by Qian Ying entering the Tower of Darkness. Since these vampires were with them, it was easy for Organization X to let them in.

If the second step did not succeed, then the fifth step would be for the vampires controlled by Qian Ying to come to the rescue.

To accomplish this, the dozen vampires first had to locate where everyone was imprisoned, then get ready to follow Qian Ying’s unified command.

Qian Ying had the power to control these vampires to act together, kill the guards, release everyone, and seize the surveillance room to ensure that when they escaped, they would not be immediately discovered.

The plan went smoothly. Everyone got out of their cells and, led by the vampires, started to gather in one place and then flee from there.

When Ouyang Jin stepped out of the cell, she couldn’t help but look back with a touch of reluctance.

"All right, stop overthinking it, that woman is not right for you," Lu Yi said as he pushed Ouyang Jin along.

"Yeah, surely not right for me, let’s just consider it a beautiful misunderstanding," Ouyang Jin pulled himself together and quickly joined the others in their escape.

Before long, everyone had regrouped, and seeing that no one was missing, Gu Ling, Lu Yi, Hai, Lin Yue, Ouyang Jin, Irina, Xue Yin, Qian Xue, Lie Qi, and the others all breathed a sigh of relief and couldn’t help but laugh.

Irina commented, "We still don’t know where Gu Fan and Su Hui are. We can’t just leave without finding them."

Ouyang Jin shook his head, "It’s precisely because Organization X has us in their grip that Gu Fan and Sister Su can’t help but be subjected to the danger from Organization X, so I suggest we make a quick escape from here."

Hearing this, everyone looked at him with contempt. Lu Yi reminded him, "Dude, this way, you’re being a very irresponsible tour guide. Beware of Gu Fan driving a hard bargain."

Ouyang Jin immediately retorted, "I’ve already fought this hard, with the service attitude I’ve shown, you guys wouldn’t have the heart to drive the price down."

Whether to run away or to help Gu Fan, the group was indecisive for a while.

It was during this brief hesitation that the alarm of the Tower of Darkness went off, indicating that Organization X had discovered their escape.

"What do we do, we’ve been spotted, can we still get away?" Ouyang Jin was clearly frightened, almost clinging to Lu Yi.

Gu Ling smirked confidently, "Don’t worry, everyone, with me here, I assure you all of your safety. By the way, prepare yourselves for a long-term game of hide and seek with the enemy."

At those words, those who knew Gu Ling’s capabilities were overjoyed, even beginning to imagine the frustration on the enemies’ faces as they tried and failed to catch them.

Lin Yue was somewhat uncertain and asked, "Xiaoling, are you really confident?"

"Of course, just follow me boldly and don’t worry," Gu Ling said before taking the lead, striding at the front of the group confidently.

Lu Yi, Ouyang Jin, Qian Xue, and Hai quickly followed, as if afraid of falling behind.

Others frowned, puzzled as to why Lu Yi, Ouyang Jin, and Hai had such faith in Gu Ling, but since they were all in the same boat, it was better to stick together.

Lin Yue picked up his pace, slowly moving closer to Gu Ling, and occasionally glanced at her beautiful figure.

Lu Yi noticed this subtle action and nudged Lin Yue with his arm, then asked, "What are you planning to do, kid?"

Lin Yue’s expression turned awkward as he quickly explained that he meant to protect Gu Ling since she was the youngest there.

It sounded reasonable, but Lu Yi and Ouyang Jin could clearly see through Lin Yue’s true intentions.

Ouyang Jin couldn’t help but snicker, finding the situation quite favorable. Gu Fan and Lin Xi, Gu Ling and Lin Yue, it’s a family affair, and the most important thing was neither party was at a loss.

As the group walked on, they arrived at a crossroads in the corridor. Gu Ling turned right without hesitation, making a decision without pause, which surprised some, making them wonder if she was familiar with the place.

To put everyone at ease, Lu Yi explained Gu Ling’s abilities: she can sense approaching danger and always choose the safest route. In other words, as long as there are plenty of routes available in a sufficiently large place, this greatly benefits Gu Ling’s abilities, meaning that it would be very difficult for Organization X to catch them.
