Tang Ye didn’t continue his flight when he entered the boundless dense forest, and he found a place to conceal himself and Lu Jianyao instead. He’d chosen a naturally formed pit in the ground to hide. The pit wasn’t really large, and it should be called small, and it was just enough for two people. It was even to the extent that they were both pressed closely against each other upon entering the pit, and it made them fall into a rather embarrassing state. It was especially so for Lu Jianyao. Her entire face was covered in an uncomfortable expression, and she even felt that Tang Ye might have done this on purpose. At this moment, Tang Ye naturally didn’t think too much about this. There were 10 Exalt Realm experts pursuing him, so how could he possibly have the time to think about all of that? He wasn’t someone that allowed his lower body to control his actions. He wanted to kill his pursuers, but it wasn’t a very realistic thought. Because they were all Exalt Realm experts. So, he had to kill them in a single strike, and it had to be when one of them was all alone. Because if there were two there, then the others would be able to rush over by the time he annihilated to the two of them. After all, Exalt Realm experts could tear space open and teleport through it!Besides that, he had a burden by his side as well.... So, the current situation didn’t look good at all. Tang Ye lowered his head to gaze at Lu Jianyao while he felt quite helpless in his heart. If this woman wasn’t here, then the pressure he suffered would be comparatively lighter. However, he couldn’t act freely while she was by his side. The thing he felt most helpless about was that he couldn’t just abandon her. It wasn’t because he was reluctant to do so but he really couldn’t! Luo Jun had numerous supporters right now. So, if the City Governor’s Estate were to lean over to his side, then the southern territory would be in a worse situation! Thus, he couldn’t allow her to fall into Luo Jun’s hands, no matter what. Suddenly, Tang Ye’s expression changed, and his hands around Lu Jianyao couldn’t help but tighten their embrace on her. Lu Jianyao’s face flushed red but she seemed to have noticed something, so she immediately glared at Tang Ye with anger and embarrassment yet didn’t say anything. Two black clothed figures appeared near their hiding spot. “Strange, the Sword Emperor’s aura actually vanished completely!” said one of the black clothed figures. “His strength is extraordinary indeed. Even those little bastards at the Asura Camp are probably unable to compare to him. No wonder the Mortal Emperor redeployed us from the central territory to deal with him. I was quite puzzled in the beginning because it was naturally unnecessary for us to be dispatched to kill a Spirit Realm profounder! Now, it would seem like the Mortal Emperor’s decision was correct. Ordinary Exalt Realm profounders would really be unable to kill him,” said the other black clothed figure. “He’s only at the Spirit Realm now yet already possesses such strength. If he’s allowed to attain the Exalt Realm, then even we would probably be helpless against him. So, he must be eliminated. Otherwise, he’ll definitely become a great enemy to the Mortal Emperor.”“You’re right. He shouldn’t have gone far. We are probably still able to catch up! Let’s go!” Their figures flashed and vanished on the spot. Tang Ye frowned within the pit, and his expression hadn’t eased up at all. Lu Jianyao was about to speak when she heard them leave, but Tang Ye’s expression changed violently. He pressed his lips down onto hers while she watched with an astounded expression, and it made her swallow the words she was about to speak. Lu Jianyao’s mind was completely blank, and she stared at Tang Ye with disbelief. On the other hand, Tang Ye was looking at her as well. However, his eyes were filled with rage instead. Lu Jianyao wanted to resist but Tang Ye held tightly onto her to the point she couldn’t even move, and she had no choice but to let Tang Ye kiss her. A short while later and just when Lu Jianyao intended to fight desperately against Tang Ye, the voices of those two black clothed figures suddenly resounded here again. “Looks like he isn’t here!”“That’s strange. Could he have evaporated into thin air?”“We must kill him no matter what! Let’s split up and search for him.”The two of them vanished again. Tang Ye moved his lips away from Lu Jianyao’s lips, and then he glanced coldly at her. Earlier, she’d almost spoiled everything. She’s really useless at everything but great at spoiling things! “Sorry!” At this moment, Lu Jianyao was slightly aggrieved. It was she who’d been taken advantage of, yet it was her who apologized as well. She knew that if Tang Ye hadn’t stopped her just now, then both of them would definitely be finished right now. It was especially so for her. Because Tang Ye might be able to escape, but she would definitely be captured by them. Tang Ye held Lu Jianyao in his arms as he flashed onto the ground, and then he pondered deeply for a moment before he said, “Miss Lu, you are clearly aware of the current situation we face. Just as you’ve said, both of us will be unable to escape if I continue bringing you along. However, truthfully speaking, I’m unable to abandon you as well. After all, your father and I can be said to be cooperating with each other.” “Go on, tell me what I need to do!” said Lu Jianyao. She knew that Tang Ye definitely had a way.
