Even More Unexpected

The problem now is that getting rid of this old man won't solve the problem; the clues will be cut off, and it will make the person behind the scenes even more careful and secretive.

The more difficult it becomes for him to find out about the other person, the more difficult it will be.

It would be best to let the old man leave alive, so that he could find out who was behind the other party.

Thinking of this, Su Zhan suddenly felt a headache coming on. He had tried very hard to keep the other party here, but now he had to let the other party go. It was really difficult to persuade the Palace Lord.

Then the only option is to let the old man escape on his own, but that's a bit difficult.

Su Zhan remained calm and waited for his opportunity.

The old man was actually more anxious than Su Zhan; he didn't want to perish here.

One Palace Lord is indeed a bit troublesome, but not enough to kill him. However, since the other Elder haven't made a move yet, he is naturally worried.

After thinking for a moment, the old man decided to take the Palace Lord hostage and leave.

Only in this way could they escape unscathed; otherwise, if they stayed here, they might not be able to leave. The old man made a decisive decision.

He hardened his heart, stopped dodging, and didn't bother looking for other opportunities. He launched a furious attack on the Palace Lord.

Su Zhan immediately understood his meaning: even if it meant exchanging injuries, the other party wanted to defeat the Palace Lord so that they could use him to threaten them and ultimately leave this place.

Upon seeing this, Su Zhan immediately perked up and spoke.

"He's trying to kidnap the Palace Lord to threaten us! Quick, attack together!"

At this moment, the Palace Lord was already injured and realized that the opponent's strength was no less than his own. After hearing Su Zhan say this, he did not tell them to mind their own business as before, but instead acquiesced.

The Elder were all shrewd men and immediately understood the Palace Lord's meaning. They instantly attacked the old man, while Su Zhan, of course, did not, otherwise, wouldn't he have been exposed?

To avoid arousing suspicion, Su Zhan headed directly towards the Palace Gate. He was guarding this place, seemingly as the last line of defense. Although it seemed a bit illogical, no one investigated it further at this point.

Since there were so many of them dealing with him, they weren't worried about not being able to defeat him, so they naturally didn't think too much about it.

The old man was furious when he saw Su Zhan blocking the Palace Gate.

Even if he rushed to the Palace Gate, he would be stopped by this person, wasting his time for nothing, which is truly despicable.

Just as he was struggling and didn't know what to do, the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside the palace.

"You bastards, how dare you lay a hand on our young master! I will not let you get away with this!"

That was Hun Tianlong's voice.

Although no one recognized the voice, it was obvious that someone had come to the Miao Miao Palace seeking revenge. Even though they didn't understand why the person was appearing outside the palace, they were still very surprised.

Taking advantage of the moment when everyone paused in their actions upon hearing the sound, the old man swiftly subdued the Palace Lord and threatened the other Elder.

"Get out of my way, all of you."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Instantly, everyone stopped.

No one dared to make a move, fearing that the old man might become desperate and actually attack the Palace Lord.

The Palace Lord also quickly spoke up.

"None of you should make a move."

He then quickly tried to persuade her.

Why bother?

"Let's talk this out. Why do we have to resort to violence?"

The old man nearly died of anger upon hearing this.

He tried to reason with them before, but what happened?

Is it time to talk this out properly?

It's too late.

It's clear that the Miao Miao Palace can no longer be used to eliminate Su Zhan.

He wouldn't need to be polite to the Palace Lord then; he might even eliminate him after leaving. But for now, the Palace Lord still has value to him.

"There's nothing to say to you."

"Don't worry, I'll let you go after I leave."
