BXBX NOVEL Chapter 78: RUN!
Then Tang Yin noticed that several people were coming towards where he was and smiled under the mask, turned around, and...
"RUN!" he shouted and immediately started running down the street.
This was seen by all the oncoming cultivators and seeing a man in a green mask running off, they immediately shouted.
"There he goes, run after him!" And they immediately started running after him.
Tang Yin on his part, was running as if his life depended on it (because that was the case) while the Administrator in his head was scolding him.
[Fuck, motherfucker, why didn't you say so before? Shit, and here I was thinking you had some good idea to escape the chasers...] Said the angry administrator in his head.
'You're an idiot, what other way can I think of to escape from a bunch of Spirit Kings? If I don't run, I'm dead.' Tang Yin replied in his head as he ran and looked around.
The Administrator then sneered at him.
[Heh, you waste my time and say you can survive if you run, do you think you're going to run faster than them? I think you are thinking too much, look, they are almost catching up with you] Replied the Administrator with a mocking smile.
But Tang Yin paid no attention to him. Of course, he knew he was being overtaken.
'Take a good look at what I'll do and be quiet, it's all part of a plan.' Tang Yin replied in his head, but in reality, he was worried in his heart.
He didn't know if what he would do would work perfectly for him, but it was the best he could come up with.
Just then, he turned his direction and ran into a familiar house next to it, surprising the cultivators a little.
Tang Yin quickly jumped over the wall outside and immediately entered the house, he flung open the door, surprising a family of 4 who were stunned looking at him.
Tang Yin then smiled under his mask and immediately took out a 10-thousand-coin money card and threw it out.
"If anyone comes and asks for me, you can tell them I ran north." Tang Yin said and immediately ran to the back entrance, which was the door facing north it was the back door, so when the cultivators who had just entered through the front door came out, they didn't notice him.
Just then Tang Yin took off his mask and threw it into a nearby trash can.
After that, he took out a blue mask and jumped over the wall again, but didn't stop at this house, he stopped 3 houses later and entered the house, found people inside so he did the same procedure, but this time he went out the east door, threw away the mask and put on another one and then ran to the west.
[Do you think something like this would work? Those families will be threatened because of you now and will surely reveal everything] Said the Administrator seeing the diversionary tactic he was using.
'Why would I have to worry about people I don't know? I've already done so much by giving them 10,000 gold coins. Besides, the idea is for them to reveal everything. The distractions are in place, but it's not enough yet, you'll see in a moment...' Tang Yin replied calmly as he ran to different houses, repeating the process several times.
He had chosen a low-level residential area precisely because he could do this, and he was sure not to find cultivators in any of those houses.
Whether it worked for him or not, he didn't care right now. It was something he should try anyway.
Thus, the night went on as Tang Yin entered different houses and left many distracting things behind.
If they wanted to look for him by smell, with some spirit beast, Tang Yin left some of his clothes strewn around different houses and quickly put on others.
If they wanted to look for him by the color of his mask, he changed the mask constantly.
If they wanted to look for him by his physique, they realized that Tang Yin could change his physique a bit, so there was no point.
...
The cultivators were angry about this, but they had surrounded the entire city at this point, they were not worried about him escaping.
Still, that a normal person had tricked them in such ways and they still can't find him is frustrating.
"That bastard is like a cockroach, shit, how does he run so fast? On top of that he knows exactly where to walk and where not to walk, do we have a traitor?" shouted Wang Yuwen angrily and stomped on the ground as she saw her cultivators each time coming back to tell her the same thing.
"Miss... Should we use force in that area?" One of them asked but was looked at angrily by everyone else, not counting Wang Yuwen.
"Use force in a residential area of ordinary citizens? Are you crazy? Do you want to raise a riot?" shouted one of the elders who has always been with Wang Yuwen.
But Wang Yuwen, surprisingly, was considering using it.
"Use the force, no matter what, those spiritual herbs are mine. Besides, that bastard is immensely rich, I want all his money." She said coldly and walked forward.
"I'm going to lead this." She said, but immediately the elder who had earlier reprimanded the other stopped her.
"Miss, are you sane? Using force in a residential area of ordinary citizens could kill a lot of people!" He said stepping in her way.
Wang Yuwen nodded at him.
"I understand, Elder. Don't worry, I'm not an assassin either. By using force, I don't mean attacking that area, I'm talking about making a curfew. We will use the city's military forces to surround that entire area. We have more than 5 Spirit Kings surrounding him right now, if we move now, he won't be able to escape from that area." Wang Yuwen replied calmly, and the Elder in front of her frowned.
"Moving so many people will cost quite a lot of money even if it's just for one night, after all, the military forces we have in this city don't belong to us, are you sure?" the elder asked, and she nodded firmly to him.
"If we manage to catch him, not only those spirit herbs will be ours, we could take more from him. I heard that he was the one who sold that King Grade Technique, with such an amount of money, do you think it's not worth it?" she replied and walked past the elder with a mysterious smile.
"Send a message to the city lord and all the forces of the alliance families, make three fences, the first one to surround the entire residential area and the other 2 to surround perimeters close to where he could escape. Now." She said firmly, and the rest could only nod and go do what she had done.
Like this...
Less than 30 minutes later, a large number of armed forces of normal people and cultivators were walking the streets of the city and surrounding the residential area.
In addition...
Soon, the alarms were set.
*WUAAAAAAAAAAAAU*
The loud sounds of the alarms began to ring throughout the city, from one side to the other, alerting every person outside their homes.
This frightened a large number of people who were still walking the lighted streets of the city.
'What the hell is going on?' thought many of them.
Those alarms only went off when something serious had happened, why did they turn them on now? That was the question running through their minds, but they couldn't come up with the answer.
However, some people in the residential area of ordinary citizens were becoming suspicious.
…
Even Tang Yin was surprised by this and frowned.
He had run all over the residential area of citizens and was already out of that area.
He was in the commercial area right now.
There weren't many people because it was already late, but still, Tang Yin was able to camouflage himself among the few passersby.
As he walked camouflaged with a face that wasn't his nor was it the one he had before, Tang Yin watched a large number of city guards walking around and sending each person to their homes.
'Curfew, huh. That girl sure is trying.' Tang Yin thought and nodded to the guard in front of him telling him that he should go home.
He simply turned around and crossed into a dark corner.
He climbed over the top of a building and started running towards another area.
During the course, he passed through one of the city gates and frowned...
Then he quickly ran to another and frowned even more.
This time he couldn't even make it to the city gate when he had to run into the courtyard of a construction site to hide.
'Holy shit, these guys are making 3 fences around the whole city.' He thought in shock.
He had seen the first fence in the residential area, luckily, he escaped just before it was completed.
He saw a third fence that surrounded practically the entire city, even though it was gigantic.
And now there is a third fence that was very close to him, in this residential area that is a cultivator's area.
'How did he do it? Did she mobilize all the guard and local forces?' He thought in shock.
The number of people needed to surround a city of over 300 million people was an absurd amount.
Even more so if she makes three fences!
[Hahahaha, I told you that you couldn't escape with tricks like that. Those guys obviously already know that you sold such a good Cultivation Technique, do you think they'll let you escape that easily?" the administrator asked in his head while laughing out loud.
Tang Yin simply frowned.
'Tsk, be quiet. I thought I could escape because they don't know that I'm a hunter and killer, hence, they still think I'm in the common residential area, but since this girl dared so much, I have to reciprocate her good deed of spending so much money.' Tang Yin thought angrily and quickly turned around and entered the cultivator residential area...
This time his passage through this area was quick, and he changed his clothes a total of 37 times.
45 times he changed his mask, and 11 times he changed his face.
He had already run out of masks and he had already run out of material to change his face.
He threw his changes of clothes and masks in different places, but all these places had something in common.
Despite the fact that they were scattered all over the residential area and he had alerted many people in the process, half of them were scattered as if they were going toward the eastern, and the other half were scattered as if they were going toward the northern.
Tang Yin stopped near the second surrounding fence, which was the closest to one of the city gates.
'Hehe, all set. Now wish me luck that this works, because if it doesn't, we're dead.' Tang Yin thought with a smile.
[What are you going to do? It's impossible to escape, those guys are everywhere. I've counted up to 1,200 people during these 30 minutes you've been running] Said the Administrator in his head.
Tang Yin smiled.
'Map' he said in his mind, and the map that was all the time materialized in front of him became bigger.
It showed the whole area of the city, many red dots, and also part of the desert that was outside the city.
Near him and in the distance, he could hear screams and the sound of beasts seeking his scent.
Tang Yin then smiled and pulled something out of his inventory.
When the Administrator saw that he was shocked for a moment.
[Shit, why the hell hadn't I thought of that? You still have that!] he shouted in shock, and Tang Yin smiled.
He marked a section of the map and activated the Feather he held in his hands...
'Teleportation Feather.' Tang Yin thought and closed his eyes...
Soon, he felt like he was falling, but a moment later, he felt solid ground.
A small wave of cold hit him at that moment, and he opened his eyes.
He looked around and could see a big city nearby with a lot of movement and dark sand all around, on the other side was a huge desert with huge naturally formed sand mountains.
Above it was a beautiful starry sky.
Tang Yin then smiled...
