Huang Xiao glanced at Yang Hengchang in some puzzlement. He had noticed Yang Hengchang's odd reaction just now.
However, Yang Hengchang's expression quickly returned to normal, so Huang Xiao naturally had no idea why his expression had changed.
"Martial Uncle, what should we do next?" Feng Xiaofeng asked.
The others from the Sword Pavilion around them also looked toward Yang Hengchang, waiting for his orders.
"Find somewhere to rest for now. I never expected Fan Zhongkun's strength to improve so much that even this old man couldn't stop him from escaping," Yang Hengchang said with a sigh.
When he discovered Fan Zhongkun earlier, he had thought capturing him would be as easy as reaching out his hand, yet he had ultimately failed. Besides his own carelessness, this was also because Fan Zhongkun's strength had indeed improved considerably. Otherwise, how could he have escaped?
Feng Xiaofeng naturally knew that his martial uncle had failed, but he could not help pointing at Huang Xiao and asking in puzzlement, "Martial Uncle, if even you couldn't stop Fan Zhongkun right away, how did this brat hold out?"
Yang Hengchang frowned. This did puzzle him. Judging by Huang Xiao's condition at the time, they clearly had not just encountered Fan Zhongkun, but had already fought him.
Yet with the strength Fan Zhongkun had displayed just now, killing Huang Xiao would clearly have been easy. Even with an expert eunuch from the Imperial Court fighting alongside him, they would have been no match for Fan Zhongkun. Yang Hengchang was still capable of judging the strength Fan Zhongkun had shown.
"Brat, what exactly happened?" Yang Hengchang asked gravely.
Huang Xiao answered without any hesitation, "It should have something to do with Inugami."
"Be specific," Yang Hengchang said coldly. He had little patience for Huang Xiao's nonsense.
