Longevity Begins With Zongmen Handyman

Chapter 72: Escape

The Zhao Residence is on fire!

The flames erupting from the ground are spiritual flames. Once they lose control, they spread instantly, engulfing the surrounding dozen or so buildings.

The fire is clearly out of control!

"Put out the fire, put out the fire!"

"Evacuate immediately!"

"Everyone, get up and put out the fire!"

The cries for help from the Zhao family are continuous.

Even Zhao Xianchuan is momentarily stunned.

But he quickly reacts, "Don't worry about the fire, capture him, capture him!"

The Zhao family can be rebuilt if necessary!

But if Li An escapes...

The blame from the demonic cult will come down, and the Zhao family will be finished!

He becomes anxious and rushes out, directly going to find the Foundation Building experts in the residence.

"Third Uncle, Fourth Uncle, the two of you go after Li An immediately, don't worry about the fire in the residence!"

"Second Uncle, activate the formation, seal off the Zhao family town, don't let anyone leave!"

He looks at the three Foundation Building experts in the secret chamber, trembling as he says, "If Li An escapes, our Zhao family will be defeated, and the demonic cult will destroy us!"

The three Foundation Building experts' expressions all change.

Eight years ago, Zhao Xianchuan suddenly returned from seeking refuge outside. After his return, he displayed extraordinary abilities, leading the Zhao family to continuously defeat many small clans in the surrounding area and even gaining the support of the Hundred Beasts Sect.

Under his leadership, the Zhao family can be said to be invincible.

The three Foundation Building experts have always had suspicions, but since it benefited the Zhao family, no one asked further.

Now, they instantly understand.

Zhao Xianchuan's ability to survive the disaster caused by the demonic cult of the Xuan Yang Sect back then was not a fluke at all.

Instead... he joined the demonic cult?

"Good!"

The three Foundation Building experts understand the seriousness of the situation and immediately set off.

Zhao Xianchuan also quickly gathers an elite group of people and rushes out of the Zhao Residence.

"Be careful, Li An might change his appearance, be cautious!"

"Yes, I heard someone say he changed into the appearance of the family head and escaped."

The pursuit becomes the most important theme.

With the obstruction of the elite forces in the clan gone, the flames erupting from the ground spread throughout the entire Zhao family as if no one is tending to them.

...

After Li An rushes out of the Zhao Residence, he swiftly changes his position and activates a second-tier Swift Travel Talisman.

Having spent several months in the Zhao family town, he is already familiar with the surrounding terrain. In just a short moment, he has already reached the southern part of the town.

There is a river in the south of the town.

At this moment, the entire second-tier formation is in operation. Above the sky, a Foundation Building expert from the Zhao family is already overseeing the sealing of the formation.

Without hesitation, Li An uses another second-tier talisman.

A corner of the formation is torn apart from the inside out.

Li An rushes out.

"He's out in the south! Quickly pursue him!"

The Foundation Building expert in the sky's expression changes drastically as he points in the direction, and he also begins to chase.

The three Foundation Building experts join the pursuit, along with a group of elite Qi Refining cultivators personally led by Zhao Xianchuan.

After Li An breaks through the formation, he uses a third-tier Swift Travel Talisman and simultaneously throws down a second-tier Exploding Talisman in his original position.

He just leaves.

The Foundation Building experts have already arrived.

Boom!

The Exploding Talisman detonates directly.

"Be careful!"

The three of them shout, various magical treasures shining, and their own spiritual power fluctuates intensely as they easily suppress the talisman, continuing to chase forward.

"Be careful, this guy might have set up other traps, use your divine sense first—"

One of the Foundation Building experts speaks, but just as they take a few steps, they suddenly cry out in pain.

"Ah—"

Their divine sense feels as if it has been struck heavily.

"A second-tier Thunder Shock Talisman?!"

All three of them change their expressions, simultaneously suppressing the pain coming from their brains, and continue to charge forward.

Boom!

A more terrifying wave of fluctuations suddenly struck, this time with four exploding symbols simultaneously detonating.

A hint of fear and horror appeared in the eyes of the three individuals, and they quickly retreated while their protective talismans emitted a bright light.

The three of them were still unharmed, but their aura fluctuated slightly.

"This person is so vicious!"

A Foundation Building stage expert with an unpleasant expression spoke, "Be careful and continue the pursuit!"

They couldn't give up just because of this, but all three of them felt a deep sense of fear.

This Li An was like a venomous snake!

As they chased after him, they soon felt the presence of a shocking thunder symbol, which made them even more alarmed. They carefully searched and continued their pursuit.

Zhao Xianchuan also followed closely with a dozen Qi Refining stage experts.

They didn't chase for long.

As the four exploding symbols detonated, a person covered in mud suddenly leaped out from a swamp a hundred meters away.

Without hesitation, he headed straight towards Zhao's residence!

At this moment, the town of Xu's residence had completely descended into chaos.

While Li An ran frantically, he changed his clothes and put on casual attire.

Everyone in Xu's residence was in a state of panic. He stealthily passed through the streets and quickly saw the Zhao residence engulfed in raging flames.

Due to the lack of control over the fire, the flames had spread completely and couldn't be extinguished.

Moreover, these flames were spiritual flames, and water had little effect on them.

Li An searched near the Zhao residence.

Finally, at the southern street, he fixed his gaze--

"Hurry up, there are still many things that haven't been taken out, hurry!"

A steward at the eighth level of Qi Refining stage anxiously spoke. In front of him, storage bags were already piled up.

The Zhao residence was on fire and unable to be extinguished. All the resources were being salvaged.

Li An took out a horn and blew it lightly.

"Woo woo..."

The sound was deep.

That steward at the eighth level of Qi Refining stage, as well as the people around him, suddenly felt a moment of confusion.

In their moment of confusion, crossbow arrows had already shot towards them, hitting their necks!

Only the steward at the eighth level of Qi Refining stage had a talisman that blocked the arrows, but in the next moment, his vision blurred and a figure had already arrived, fiercely punching him in the chest. The steward screamed in agony, unable to react before falling to the ground. He tried to get up, but the person had already taken out a dagger and slit his throat--

Li An killed them and quickly collected all the twenty-odd storage bags on the ground.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Li An rushed towards the north of the town.

The three second-level Foundation Building stage cultivators had already left, and with no one maintaining the formation, Li An came and went so easily!

He left the Zhao residence town, his figure disappearing into the night, running at full speed without stopping...

At the same time.

In the west of the town.

Wang Dazhu carried Chen Qingling on his back and had already run for more than ten miles.

He put Chen Qingling down, his face filled with anxiety. "Qingling, how could you shout like that? If you shout like that, how can An Ge escape?!"

"Wait for me here, I'll go find him!"

But Chen Qingling tightly grabbed his arm. "No... Dazhu, don't go!"

"Don't go!"

"I've been waiting for eight years, eight years to have a chance to leave the Zhao residence. You can't leave me!"

"Uncle Li is so powerful, he must be fine. If you go back, it might make things worse. You're not allowed to go!"

"If you go back, you won't be able to come out. You promised my mother to take care of me for the rest of my life, to take care of me for the rest of my life!"

She clung to him like a lifeline.

- If it weren't for Wang Dazhu, a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivator, helping her, she, a third-level Qi Refining cultivator, would have a difficult time escaping from the Zhao family and even the demonic sect's pursuit.

For eight years, Zhao Xianchuan had trapped her and her mother in the Zhao residence, not allowing them to take a single step outside. Now that they finally saw the light of day, she would never destroy her hope for a better life.

Wang Dazhu anxiously paced in place, momentarily at a loss. He stomped his feet in frustration. "I shouldn't have told you about seeing An Ge. You deliberately leaked the information to Zhao Xianchuan, leading An Ge here... You used me, you used me!"

"An Ge is the only person in this world who cares about me. Now he's been harmed because of me, harmed!"

Tears fell from his eyes.

"No... Dazhu, I'm the only person in this world who cares about you. Don't think about it anymore, let's go quickly, okay? After we settle down, we can go find Li An together. We can ask him for forgiveness when we're together as a couple!"

Wang Dazhu, even though he was a tough man, couldn't help but sigh deeply at this moment.

"I've never done anything wrong in my life, but now I have!"

"An Ge, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"

He suddenly knelt towards the direction of the Zhao residence, heavily kowtowing three times.
