Chapter 420 420 Heading to Wudang
"Yes, Family Head," the Shadow Guard said respectfully. His figure slowly faded, as if merging into the darkness.
Watching the Shadow Guard disappear, Fan Wudao spoke again, as if certain the man would still hear him. "If he's not dead, then don't bother coming back."
Fan Wudao's tone was cold as he gazed at the sky outside the window. Lin Kuang, is it? Since you've chosen to confront the Fan Family, death is your only fate!
At that moment, Lin Kuang had no idea that Fan Wudao had dispatched a powerful Shadow Guard. Then again, even if he did know, he likely wouldn't have cared. After all, he was Lin Kuang.
When it was time to leave work, Lin Kuang drove the two women home.
After arriving, Lin Kuang was about to get back in his car and drive to Yang Ruotong's place when his phone suddenly rang. The call was from none other than Yang Ruoxi. Seeing her name on the screen, Lin Kuang couldn't help but smile. That girl hasn't called me in a while.
He answered the phone. Before he could say a word, Yang Ruoxi's urgent, weak voice came through.
"Lin Kuang, save me!"
Lin Kuang had been in a good mood, but his expression instantly turned grim upon hearing her voice. "Ruoxi, what happened? Take your time, don't rush. What's going on?" he asked quickly, his voice filled with anxiety.
"The Chen father and son are on Wudang Mountain! They want to kill me, and a Temple Master from Wudang is in cahoots with them. Luckily, I managed to run fast, otherwise… otherwise, I would have been done for," Yang Ruoxi said in a rush, a hint of a sob in her voice. Although the girl was resolute, this was the first time she had faced something like this alone, and she was terrified.
Upon hearing this, Lin Kuang's face instantly filled with murderous intent.
"Stay where you are! I'm on my way. Ruoxi, you have to hold on! Wait for me!" Lin Kuang roared, suppressing the rage in his heart.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. I'll hide for now. I'll text you my location. Contact me when you get here," Yang Ruoxi said hurriedly.
"Good. Wait for me. I'll be right there."
With that, they both hung up.
Returning to the room, Lin Kuang gave Lin Guo'er and Liu Shilin a hurried farewell before swiftly departing.
He pushed the car to its absolute limit, racing down the highway and weaving past car after car. Curses from other drivers filled the air, but Lin Kuang had no time for them. Normally, the drive to the East Sea Military Region took half an hour, but his aggressive driving got him there in less than fifteen minutes. He drove directly to the entrance of Yang Wucheng's office and jumped out.
He ran the rest of the way, forgetting to even knock as he burst straight into the office.
Yang Wucheng, who was working, frowned at the intrusion, but his annoyance largely vanished when he saw it was Lin Kuang, especially after noting the anxious look on his face.
"Lin Kuang, what's the matter?" Yang Wucheng asked, puzzled.
"Uncle Yang, Ruoxi's in trouble! She's been ambushed on Wudang Mountain by the Chen father and son, and a Temple Master from there has also made a move against her. She just called me. I have to get there now. Arrange a helicopter for me!" Lin Kuang said, his tone urgent and grave.
Hearing this, Yang Wucheng's expression changed drastically. Yang Ruoxi was his daughter. She had suffered so much before, nearly dying, only to be saved by Lin Kuang. For this to happen now, for his daughter to almost die again, filled Yang Wucheng with uncontrollable rage.
"Damn it! Chen Zhongrui, Chen Shaowen, you both deserve to die!" Yang Wucheng shouted, his pupils turning blood-red. "You just wait! This isn't over! I will kill you both!"
"Uncle Yang, this isn't the time for that! Quickly, arrange the helicopter! I need to get there immediately," Lin Kuang urged again.
"Alright," Yang Wucheng hastily agreed, then picked up the phone to make the arrangements. After hanging up, he asked, "The helicopter will be here in five minutes. Do you need weapons?"
"No need. I alone am enough," Lin Kuang stated coldly.
"Alright, let's go to the parade ground," Yang Wucheng said, turning to leave, and Lin Kuang quickly followed.
"Why do they want to kill Ruoxi? What in the world are they trying to do?" Yang Wucheng roared as they walked.
"I fear it's not as simple as just killing her," Lin Kuang said, his expression grim. "Ruoxi possesses the Extreme Yin Body. The Chen father and son might need her body for something!"
For someone like Lin Kuang, who possessed the Extreme Yang Constitution, an Extreme Yin Body was a powerful tonic. If the two were to unite, their strength would skyrocket. Of course, Chen Shaowen and Chen Zhongrui did not have the Extreme Yang Constitution, but that didn't rule out the possibility of them using some kind of drug to achieve a similar effect.
Hearing this, Yang Wucheng's expression changed yet again. Thinking back to when Chen Zhongrui had brought Chen Shaowen to propose marriage, he had felt something was fishy. Now, what Lin Kuang said made perfect sense.
"Lin Kuang, I'm begging you, you must bring Ruoxi back," Yang Wucheng stressed, his voice heavy with emotion. "That girl has suffered too much. You must bring her back."
Lin Kuang nodded heavily. "Uncle Yang, rest assured. Ruoxi is my woman. I won't let anything happen to her. Trust me, I will bring her back!" he said with the utmost gravity.
"Good, I believe you. You be careful, too," Yang Wucheng added.
Lin Kuang nodded. Just then, a helicopter descended, landing on the parade ground.
Seeing it arrive, Lin Kuang spoke again, "Uncle Yang, I'm leaving now. Wait for my news." With that, he turned and boarded the helicopter.
"Be careful!" Yang Wucheng couldn't help but shout, but Lin Kuang couldn't hear him over the noise.
The helicopter's rotors thundered as it slowly lifted off, ascending high into the sky and heading straight for Wudang Mountain in Shiyan City.
His eyes burned with urgency. Ruoxi, you have to hold on! Wait for me, wait for me! I'll be there soon. Lin Kuang chanted inwardly. Despite the helicopter's incredible speed, it still felt terribly slow to him. At that moment, he wished he could grow wings and fly directly to Yang Ruoxi's side.
