Patriarch Li wanted to say something, but Elder Hubert Hu had already given the order, so they had no choice but to leave.
On the way back, Patrick Li couldn't help cursing, "Damn it."
"Sigh, forget it, things are already like this," said the white-robed man, showing his helplessness.
"That's easy to say. We used to only have minor quarrels with the Chu Family. But if we capture Chase Chu, wouldn't the Chu Family come after us? Once Shadow Soul Sect leaves, only our Li Family will suffer," Patrick Li said unwillingly. After all, he's the head of the family, and any decision affects the clan's fate.
"Patriarch, it's not that serious. We can ambush Chase Chu on the road to Blue Robe Sect, so the Chu Family won't know. Isn't that fine?" The white-robed man knew their lives were now in others' hands, so their only option was to capture Chase Chu.
"So everyone wears masks?" Patrick Li had no other solution and could only ask.
"Exactly. We'll pick a few experts from the clan, make it quick and clean, and ambush Chase Chu on the road. Besides, many people are watching the Chu Family right now, so even if they suspect something, they'll suspect plenty of others," said the white-robed man.
"That would benefit Shadow Soul Sect," Patrick Li felt the plan would work, but it would benefit Shadow Soul Sect. If not for their control, he would have acted alone and claimed all the spoils.
The white-robed man also knew there was no changing things, so he persuaded Patrick Li to discuss the details.
At the Chu Family's temporary residence, constant sweeps of divine sense outside made everyone uneasy, as if they were being watched.
"Dad, maybe I should go out." Chase Chu thought for a moment and said.
"No, you must stay here. Tomorrow we'll send you off with the Blue Robe Sect people." Victor Chu said.
"What about those following us?" Chase Chu asked worriedly. "They can't follow us to the Blue Robe Sect's teleportation array. Every sect has its own protective formation; if they force their way into the outer array, it's pointless." Victor Chu explained.
"Mm." Right now, Chase Chu just wanted tomorrow to come quickly, so he could see Evan Yang and prove he hadn't let him down.
Hannah Nangong wasn't worried about Evan Yang's safety, since he could freely change his appearance. But she was worried about Chase Chu and what would happen tomorrow.
She tried to talk to Evan Yang, but his reply was simply to relax.
Seeing that Evan Yang wasn't worried, Hannah Nangong stopped worrying too and just waited for the next day.
Evan Yang was in a teahouse near the eastern part of the city, sipping tea.
"Looks like tomorrow will be a tough fight—first, the Li Family, second, Shadow Soul Sect, third, those who covet that footwork." Evan Yang muttered.
After thinking for a while, Evan Yang decided he needed to prepare, so he went east, where there was a teleportation array. He didn't know where it led, nor which planet Blue Robe Sect's ancient array was on, which made things harder for him—at least he needed to know the location for protection along the way.
