Chapter 1067 - Cunning as a Fox
Tang Hao stepped on the flood dragon and flew forward.
He put on Ji Wu’s signature cold and arrogant expression on his face.
The people who saw him became cautious. One had to know that they were facing the number one prodigy, and moreover, he was a member of the Empyrean Sect. His status was too honorable.
“Be alert. Don’t speak!”
The middle-aged man who was leading the group turned around and shouted in a low voice.
He was afraid that his followers would say something that they should not. After all, Ji Wu had just been defeated by that Qin guy. Previously, those people had mocked that Ji Wu did not live up to his name.
They could mock him in private, but they should not say a word in front of him. They would all be finished if they attracted the anger of the Empyrean Sect.
They were surprised when they managed to take a closer look.
‘Hiss! So miserable!’
The flood dragon was covered in wounds and seemed weak. The signature vertical eye between Ji Wu’s eyebrows was gone. That Qin monster must have taken it!
They kept quiet in fear and dared not say anything carelessly.
They expected that Ji Wu would be furious. If they said something wrong, he might vent his anger on them.
Tang Hao kept a straight face the whole time. He flew close to them and glanced at them coldly. “Did you… find that Qin guy?”
His tone was very unfriendly. That only confirmed to the group that their guess was true.
“We haven’t, Young Master Ji! We’re also looking for him. That Qin guy is too crafty. No one has found his whereabouts yet.”
The leader of the group bowed and said respectfully.
He did not doubt Tang Hao’s identity at all. After all, the flood dragon and the treasure coat could not be faked.
“I see!” Tang Hao nodded slightly. “Then you guys keep looking! You must find that despicable guy. I will kill him with my own hands and avenge the humiliation.”
“Yes!”
The leader of the group replied respectfully.
“Let’s go!”
Tang Hao called out, and the flood dragon squirmed and flew away.
The group of people heaved a sigh of relief as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders.
“Go, go, go!”
They quickly left and tried their best to stay as far away from that bad-tempered “Ji Wu.”
Tang Hao continued flying and encountered many groups of people. Some of them saw him from afar and avoided him. Everyone knew that Ji Wu was definitely in a bad mood right now and did not want to get on the wrong side of him.
Tang Hao was secretly relieved.
At first, he was worried that the other people might know that Ji Wu’s treasures had been robbed. If that happened, he would not be able to successfully impersonate Ji Wu.
It seemed that the news had not spread yet.
Thinking about it, it made sense. The people would spread the headlines first, and the details usually came later.
At that moment, he picked up his speed and swaggered away.
Most people kept their distance from him and discussed him from afar.
Just like that, Tang Hao flew past many search parties, crossed the border, and entered the neighboring nation. Then, he continued to escape without any obstacles.
Those people who had met him talked about him, and they eventually attracted the attention of those from the major sects.
“What did you say? You met Ji Wu?”
In a city in Heaven’s Gate nation, an elder of the Great Sacred Flame Sect met the middle-aged man from before.
“Yes! What’s wrong?”
The man answered. He was shocked when he saw closely who was asking him that question.
The flame dragon robe was clearly the symbol of the Great Sacred Flame Sect.
The elder strode forward and said sternly, “Where did you see him? When?”
The man was afraid, but he answered truthfully. He pointed in a certain direction and said, “We saw him over there, while we were searching. The time was… yesterday afternoon.”
“Oh no! This is bad!”
The elder stomped his foot and said angrily.
“What… what’s wrong?”
The man asked in puzzlement.
The elder glared at him fiercely and said, “You imbeciles! That guy is Nameless Qin!”
The man and the people behind him were all dumbfounded.
“But the flood dragon and the treasure coat…”
“Nameless Qin robbed him! Ji Wu was knocked unconscious by the Mountain Lord of Ancient Sage Mountain, and he has already been brought back to the Empyrean Sect. Why would you think that you can meet him in the wild?” The elder said angrily.
The group of people opened their mouths, but they were speechless.
In the end, they laughed bitterly.
It turned out that they had already met that Qin guy, but they were completely unaware of it.
Following that, a chill coursed down their spines.
That Qin guy was too cunning!
An eternal monster who knew how to scheme was truly a terrifying figure. No wonder he could defeat Ji Wu.
It was fair that Ji Wu lost!
The surrounding people who heard that were also shocked.
That disguise had been perfectly carried out.
“After him! Spread the news. If it’s been a day, that kid should have left Heaven’s Gate Nation. Tell the other nations to pay attention.”
The elder of the Great Sacred Flame Sect hurriedly flew up and led his team to chase in that direction.
Soon, the news spread, and the First Continent was in an uproar.
They were all shocked by that kid’s cunning and audacity!
That kid had managed to fool all the major sects at Jadeite Mountain. Even Path Seeking experts had fallen into his trap. Now, he had fooled everyone once again.
While they were busy searching everywhere, that kid pretended to be Ji Wu and escaped
openly.
“Damn, that kid is too crafty!”
“What a shame!”
Countless people gnashed their teeth in anger.
They had been fooled again and again. They were really ashamed.
“Hah! Looks like I was right!”
Those elders were happy.
“I told you that the kid isn’t a pushover. He is definitely meticulous and crafty like a fox, but you didn’t believe me. Now you’re fooled again!”
“It’s already been more than a day, and that kid should have already been long gone. You won’t be able to find him!”
In the next few days, the search party continued to expand. Almost all the people in the dozens of nations were mobilized.
However, they could not find anything.
The fake Ji Wu was last seen in Gourd Nation, two nations away from Heaven’s Gate Nation. Then, he disappeared without a trace.
Countless people went to Gourd Nation and searched all around. However, they could no longer find the kid.
After half a month of searching, they finally had to admit that the kid had escaped once again.
A few more days later, they all gave up on the search.
As for Tang Hao, after leaving Gourd Nation, he quickly traveled back to the Ninth Mountain of East End Nation.
After returning, the first thing was to comprehend the Path techniques so that he could gather nascent qi.
