Saving System: Calm Down, My Fleeing Host!

Chapter 357 - 349: Unexpected Visitor

This statement successfully prompted the two elders lurking in the shadows to move. After a brief silence, they exchanged secret signals and decided to take action.

They had no intention of interfering with the family matters, but if they let the person inside escape, they would certainly be in deep trouble.

Two figures swiftly shot out, shocking Han Yi and Gu Ming.

They both focused intently, preparing to face formidable enemies.

They didn’t intend to confront directly; they could only fight and retreat, giving those evacuating a chance to escape.

When the Ouyang Family Master stumbled to the scene, chaos had already spread all around.

Most people in the residence had been affected, and even with Ouyang Qinghua, the physician, they couldn’t quickly come up with an antidote. The family master struggled to make it here.

One reason was the fear of failure and punishment from the ancestor.

The other reason was the report from the steward that the Stone Gate was sealed and needed the Family Head Order to open.

"How could this happen? Were the children sent inside?"

The Great Elder sneered, "They were rescued."

"How is that possible?"

Ouyang Qingsheng was taken aback. Weren’t they just dealing with a few Mid Rank Martial Artists?

The ancestor’s place was heavily guarded, teeming with experts. How could it have been thwarted?

"The situation was unique, so two honorary ancestors were sent to pursue them."

The Great Elder was angry, "At this critical juncture, you’re still concerned with your trifles. If the ancestor blames us, don’t say I didn’t warn you."

"With the honorary ancestors involved, it’s sure to be fine." Ouyang Qingsheng was only halfway relieved when he heard the Great Elder continue.

"You should worry about inside; two people broke in just now."

Ouyang Qingsheng widened his eyes in disbelief.

But seeing the Great Elder’s schadenfreude expression, he was seventy to eighty percent convinced.

The Great Elder often reveled in watching his misfortune.

"The Family Head should hurry and open the gate to check inside!" The Second Elder was more worried about something happening to the ancestor.

The ancestor is the source of the family’s prosperity. Without that Stabilizing Needle, the other two families would have long joined forces to edge them out.

The explosion earlier was quite loud; there might be some unforeseen changes.

"Yes, yes, quickly check. If you anger the ancestor, no one can bear the responsibility."

The timid Fourth Elder also chimed in.

The ancestor’s Combat Power was unmatched in Dayi Continent; he was not worried about harm but rather being blamed for incompetence.

Ouyang Qingsheng hurriedly took out the token and placed it in the specific groove of the Stone Gate.

The Stone Gate slowly opened, and everyone rushed in.

Sikong Yinlong had leaped over ten thousand meters; logically, the Divination Dragon Staff shouldn’t sense the variable from such a distance, unless...!

A bad premonition welled up in his heart, and he quickened his pace, hoping it wasn’t what he thought.

A variable losing Respect Power or excessive blood loss could cause such changes.

In a moment of distraction, he almost collided with an incoming object.

While sidestepping, the pursuing palm wind howled towards him, carrying a chilling murderous intent.

Dongfang Yinlong met the opponent mid-air, their palms clashing, igniting a torrent of energy. The difference in Level was immediately apparent, sending the opposite figure flying, crashing into the mountain’s peak, and with a thud, snow cascaded down, burying the body.

He had a pressing matter now, and any obstacle would be mercilessly dealt with.

Just as he was about to rise, two more figures flew towards him from behind.

Gu Ming, although battle-hardened, had only recently stepped into Void Power, incomparable to seasoned Late Stage Void Realm experts.

His rapid promotion owed to two elders fearing him facing the Arrezu tribe’s barbarians in this frontier land, using Secret Techniques and his unique Inner Strength to forcefully elevate his strength to the Void Realm.

Gu Ming previously disdained such methods, but now, with limited time to find the Little Crown Prince and stabilize the court, he accepted his father-in-law’s gift.

Now, he was grateful for his enhanced strength, which otherwise wouldn’t have lasted this long.

After exchanging hundreds of moves, he gradually fell into a disadvantage.

At this time, the scenario was a pursuit; the elder was intent on taking Gu Ming’s life.

While Gu Ming had to defend passively, attempting to buy time.

At their level of training, they could perceive everything; seeing an old friend knocked down the mountain, Gu Ming was anxious, and after feinting a move, he descended into the mountains, searching for the possibly lifeless figure.

The elder dared not face the newcomer, thinking there were no Innate Grandmaster experts in Dayi State. Encountering two younger ones with high Combat Power and excellent swordsmanship, capable of trans-level battles, he then met an unidentified Innate Grandmaster expert.

If the ancestor couldn’t break through, could even he only be evenly matched with them?

It seemed the peaceful days for the Ouyang Family were over.

Sikong Yinlong’s appearance not only saved Han Yi’s life but also inadvertently assisted Gu Ming.

He quickly found the unconscious Han Yi, checked for breath, thankfully still alive.

He placed an Emergency Medicine Pill into Han Yi’s mouth and carried him towards the dense forest.

Though he was only Dark Strength, he fought a higher realm Void Realm expert to this point, which was remarkable. People from the dark alleys were indeed desperate.

This person still couldn’t die; he owed a great debt. His actions had infuriated the Ouyang Family, causing their hidden master to intervene.

If it weren’t for that person earlier, they would have been doomed.

Based on the person’s physique and visible features, they seemed young, yet possessed such profound Power, truly a case of people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens.

Watching that distant figure, a suspicion lingered—could he also be heading to the Ouyang Family?

Is this person an enemy or an ally?

To divert pursuers, their escape route was opposite that of the guards taking the children.

Exiting the forest, under the dim night, they vaguely saw the cliff ahead.

Drat, it’s a dead end.

The two had nowhere to escape.

Inside the hall, chaos and confusion reigned, and from afar, the ancestor’s anger could be felt.

Lingering oppressive waves in the air were terrifying, making everyone tread carefully, not daring to straighten their backs.

Cheng Xiaoxiao watched the flood of people, feeling overwhelmed.

Was she, this small cannon fodder, going to meet her end here today?

"77, how many System Coins do we have left? Can we buy anything to deal with the emergency?"

"Energy Value has been growing slowly these days, and there are still some System Coins, but nothing usable for now."

"That old monster’s Power is unrivaled, and now he has so many disciples to command. Can you handle it with just the two of you?"

Seeing the clan’s juniors enter, Ouyang Ancestor’s anger surged, "Where’s the child you brought back?"
