Chapter 778: Safe and Sound
Xiu Juan didn't rush out of the barrier like a fool because she was a ghost. Without clarifying the identity of the newcomer and confirming their intentions, she was worried that she would cause trouble for Yang Haoran.
She stayed inside the barrier, first verifying the identity and intentions of the newcomer, while Old Wu and the others directly rushed out of the barrier.
Outside the barrier, another person appeared, looking anxious and seemingly waiting for something.
After Master Wu and the others rushed out of the barrier, this person immediately approached them.
It was none other than Wang Yiming, who had been forcibly sent away by Yang Haoran from inside the barrier.
Before rushing out of the barrier, Master Wu and the others had already discovered that the newcomer was Wang Yiming. They all knew Wang Yiming and were aware of his good relationship with Yang Haoran, especially Master Wu, who had even invited Wang Yiming to their villa to exorcise ghosts.
Seeing that the newcomer was Wang Yiming, they all felt a slight sense of relief, thinking that the chances of Wang Yiming coming to cause trouble were low.
Of course, they didn't want to completely rule out the possibility, especially since Yang Haoran had some unfinished business with Wang Yiming's master due to Bai Xue, and Wang Yiming might have come on his master's orders. Today, Wang Yiming's arrival might not be a coincidence.
In Master Wu's opinion, the possibility of Wang Yiming coming to cause trouble was low, so he felt a slight sense of relief, but he didn't completely let his guard down.
Master Wu didn't know that Wang Yiming's master had already died, nor did he know that Yang Haoran's trip had initially been with Wang Yiming.
The three of them exited the barrier and saw Wang Yiming approaching them with a look of anxiety. Master Wu's suspicions grew even more.
"Old Wu, has Brother Yang returned?"
Master Wu hadn't had time to ask Wang Yiming anything, but Wang Yiming had already asked him a question.
None of the three had expected Wang Yiming to suddenly ask about Yang Haoran's return. They all felt a jolt, and at this moment, they were extremely sensitive to anything related to Yang Haoran.
However, none of them showed their inner alarm on their faces, not even the youngest, Xiaokang.
"Yiming, you look so anxious. Has something happened?"
Master Wu directly avoided Wang Yiming's question and pretended to be puzzled, asking him back.
"Something big has happened. If Brother Yang still hasn't returned by now, it's getting even more serious!"
Wang Yiming didn't know that Yang Haoran had already been sent back by Xu Meijing, nor did he know that Yang Haoran's life was hanging by a thread. After being forcibly sent out of the barrier by Yang Haoran, he didn't want to leave, but considering his limited abilities and Ma Yuanjin's severe injuries, if he didn't leave, he wouldn't be able to help Yang Haoran and would instead become a burden.
So, the three of them had a quick discussion and decided that Wang Yiming would send the severely injured Ma Yuanjin back to the Ma Family Estate, while Zhang Li would go to the Ancheng Yin Division to gather reinforcements.
After successfully sending Ma Yuanjin back to the Ma Family Estate, Ma Yuanjin, out of gratitude for Yang Haoran's life-saving help, let his son Ma Hongcheng take Big Brother and Second Brother with him to leave and support Yang Haoran.
As for Ma Ling and her three brothers, they were arranged by Ma Yuanjin to go to different places to gather reinforcements, and they were given a list with names and detailed addresses.
Because this time, it wasn't just the Ma Family who had been set up by the Zhang Family; other people who were also prominent figures in Ancheng had their own circles and friends, and if they were harmed, their friends and family wouldn't just stand by and do nothing.
So, Ma Yuanjin let Ma Ling and her three brothers go to contact these people, which would definitely gather more strength. The enemy's power was too strong, and if they didn't gather some strength, they would be going to their deaths even if they rushed over.
Therefore, they divided their forces into three routes: Ma Ling and her three brothers went to find more helpers, while Wang Yiming brought Ma Hongcheng and his father to rush back to the scene.
When Wang Yiming arrived at the scene not long ago, Zhang Li had also successfully brought reinforcements from the Ancheng Yin Division and arrived, followed by Ma Ling and her three brothers, who each brought some helpers.
However, when they arrived at the scene, the battle had already ended, and they did not find Yang Haoran's and Xu Meijing's bodies, nor did they see any sign of the Zhang family father and son.
They then rushed to the Zhang family's place, but they did not find the Zhang family father and son there either, nor did they find Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing. The other members of the Zhang family were also unaware of the situation.
Now, these reinforcements were divided into two groups: one group stayed at the Zhang family's place to look for trouble, and most of them were relatives and friends of the deceased.
The other group continued to search for Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing at the scene, and they even expanded their search area. This group consisted of people from the Ancheng Yin Division and the Ma family.
As for Wang Yiming, he was here to see if Yang Haoran had returned to his residence in Lecheng.
Wang Yiming's response made Master Wu and the others sense that something was amiss. They all had the same thought: why did Yang Haoran suffer serious injuries and almost lose his life, and why did Wang Yiming seem to be one of the people in the know?
Although Xu Meijing was the most knowledgeable about this matter, she did not mention it to them. Bai Xue did not ask because she did not want to talk to Xu Meijing, and the others did not dare to ask.
Whether it was Bai Xue or the others, they were all very concerned about this matter and wanted to know the ins and outs. This would allow them to have a clear understanding and take targeted precautions.
Now that Wang Yiming seemed to be one of the people in the know, the others felt that they could get some information from him.
"What exactly happened? Can you tell us clearly?"
Bai Xue was anxious and couldn't help but urge Wang Yiming to speak.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's go inside and talk."
Master Wu led Wang Yiming into the villa, where another villa had already been hidden from view, and there was no sign of any power fluctuations. Only the original villa built on this site was visible. Chapter source: My Virtual Library Empire (M|V|L4EMPYR).
Under Master Wu's guidance, the group arrived at the villa's living room, where Xiu Juan served them tea. Without waiting for Master Wu to ask, Wang Yiming voluntarily told them about the series of events that had occurred at the Zhang family's place.
After listening to Wang Yiming's account, Master Wu and the others finally had their doubts resolved. However, they did not know that the matter was even more complicated than what Wang Yiming had described, because Wang Yiming was also unaware of the subsequent events.
Just as Wang Yiming finished telling them everything he knew, his face suddenly changed, and he took out a talisman from his independent space.
This talisman was a yellow Sound Transmission Talisman, which was used to transmit information. The people present recognized it because they also had one, and it was given to them by Yang Haoran.
Wang Yiming suddenly took out the talisman, which immediately self-ignited, and a woman's voice came from inside.
"We, the divine envoys, have returned to the Death God Temple, and Yang Divine Envoy is safe and sound."
Upon hearing this news, Wang Yiming's face lit up with joy, and his expression relaxed significantly. A smile appeared on his face.
However, Master Wu and the others did not react as lightly as Wang Yiming, because they knew that Yang Haoran's current physical condition was precarious, and his life was hanging by a thread.
"That's great, Brother Yang is fine, and I can finally relax."
Wang Yiming's face was filled with joy as he spoke, and his tense nerves finally relaxed.
Looking at Wang Yiming's joyful face, Master Wu's face also broke into a smile.
"It seems we were just worried for nothing. Yiming, you really scared us. Look at Bai Xue, she still hasn't reacted even after hearing the news you brought."
Master Wu laughed and spoke, looking like he had finally let out a sigh of relief.
Wang Yiming looked at Bai Xue, and indeed, she still had a poker face, her thoughts unknown.
When she saw Wang Yiming looking at her, Bai Xue seemed to finally react, and she smiled at him, although her smile appeared somewhat forced.
