Chapter 4204 Some Connections
These lion hunters were so focused on chasing us that they didn't know we had already set up a magic array here, just waiting for them to come.
They thought we were afraid of them and would run away because we couldn't beat them. They were overthinking it. These small fry weren't enough to scare us into turning around and running away.
These people clearly lack experience in the ways of the world. No wonder they haven't had a chance to wipe out the Lingxiu Cult all these years; they're just too stupid and inflexible.
The Lion Hunters trapped inside the magic circle kept shouting and cursing, begging us to release them.
I couldn't be bothered with them, so I called out to the slovenly Taoist priest and his group who were hiding nearby. The group gathered together again and headed towards another exit of the cave.
With Kassan leading the way, we quickly found another exit. By the time we walked out of the cave, it was almost dawn.
Fearing that the lion hunters might catch up again, we traveled at full speed without stopping, leaving the old forest behind.
First of all, the celebrity Lin Xu's house is definitely no longer safe to live in, mainly because we're worried that the Lion Hunting Team will come looking for him again.
Although they weren't quite right in the head, finding that place was still easy for them.
After leaving the forest, I called Master Qi of the Lion City Wanluo Sect and asked him to arrange two vans to pick us up and find us a relatively safe place to rest.
After Master Qi found out our location, we waited in a secluded spot for more than half an hour before we saw two inconspicuous vans drive up.
Kassan went up to ask, and after learning that we were Qi Tangzhu's men, he invited us all to get into the van.
It was a very tiring night, and everyone was exhausted. As soon as they got on the bus, they closed their eyes and pretended to sleep to recharge.
After driving for more than an hour, the car took us to a courtyard.
A member of the Wanluo Sect said to us, "Young Master Wu, this is a safe house prepared for you by Hall Master Qi. Everything is ready inside. It's very safe here. The Lion Hunting Team won't find this place. You can let Hall Master Qi know when you want to leave, or contact him if you need anything..."
"Hey, why didn't Master Qi come to see us?" the slovenly Taoist priest asked.
"Master Qi said he doesn't want to return to China for the time being. He heard that almost all the masters who deal with you outside have returned to their countries. He's just gotten to know this place well, so he can't go back yet," the young man said politely.
Goodness, this Master Qi is quite self-aware; he knows that if he contacts us, he might end up going back to his hometown with us.
As long as they don't meet with us directly, there's still room for maneuver.
However, that Master Qi is overthinking things. He doesn't need to go back at all. Lion City is just a small country. If Tang Shangning gives a loud call, we can basically leave safely.
There was food and wine prepared in the room, still warm.
Everyone was starving, so they went up and wolfed down their food to fill their stomachs.
I left Meiling behind to keep an eye on the area around the courtyard before we each went to find a place to rest.
I definitely can't sleep; leaving Singapore depends entirely on me.
I glanced at the time; it was around 10 a.m., which was when Tang Shangning was at work. So I took out my phone and called Tang Shangning. The call was answered after two rings.
"Hey, Uncle Tang, at work?" I said with a grin.
"Young Master Wu, you didn't call for Old Tang, doesn't that mean you've gotten into trouble again?" Tang Shangning said impatiently.
"Wow, Uncle Tang, you're amazing! You know everything?" I asked, somewhat surprised.
"How would I know? It's just that you're the kind of guy who never does anything without a reason. If you were doing something good, you'd be strutting around like crazy. You wouldn't even consider me, Old Tang, a jerk." Tang Shangning said sarcastically.
"Uncle Tang, I have something to tell you, so be prepared." I chuckled.
"What happened? Did they burn down the Yasukuni Shrine again?" Tang Shangning asked curiously.
“No, we’re in Lion City. We’ve run into some trouble here. We offended the Lion Hunting Team and even got into a fight with them. They’re searching us right now. Could you please call out to them and let us leave Lion City?” I pleaded hurriedly.
"Tell me, how did you offend the Lion Hunting Team?" Tang Shangning asked again.
Next, I told Tang Shangning everything that had happened in Singapore.
Hearing what I said, Tang Shangning sighed deeply: "Xiao Jie, you can't stand not causing trouble for me every day, can you? You cause trouble wherever you go, when will you ever stop?"
"Uncle Tang, I've already calmed things down. Although I fought with those Lion Hunting Team members, none of them were injured or killed. In addition, I gave Bai Yuling to them so they could use her to curry favor..." I pretended to be very innocent.
"I don't even need to think to know what kind of shady things you've been doing. The ill-gotten gains accumulated by the Spiritual Cultivation Sect are probably in your hands, and Bai Yuling's magical artifacts are definitely on you too. These things were originally meant to be confiscated, not something you can just take away as you please." Tang Shangning's voice became somewhat serious.
“Uncle Tang, contact the leaders of the Lion City Lion Hunting Team and ask them to let us go. Tell them that if they don’t let us go, we’ll cause a huge disturbance, and the Lion Hunting Team will definitely have a hard time in the future.”
“You’re acting so arrogantly on their turf. If they don’t arrest you, who will they arrest? But I do have some connections with the leader of the Lion Hunting Team. Alright, I’ll pull some strings for you and see if I can get you back safely.”
After saying that, Tang Shangning hung up the phone. I waited for about ten minutes before Tang Shangning called back.
As soon as the call connected, I excitedly asked, "Uncle Tang, is everything settled?"
"It's all settled. I just spoke with the highest leader of the Lion Hunting Team. He was quite pleased and thanked me for sending people to assist the Lion Hunting Team in destroying the Spirit Cultivation Cult and capturing Bai Yuling alive. He also agreed to let you leave. You can leave Lion City at any time," Tang Shangning said solemnly.
"Oh, thank you so much, Uncle Tang! I'll definitely buy you two bottles of good wine when I get back this time," I said quickly.
"Let's talk about it when you get back. You're just making empty promises." With that, Tang Shangning hung up the phone.
When I was on the phone with Tang Shangning, I kept the call on speakerphone, and all the brothers were incredibly happy. They never expected that leaving the Lion Hunting Team would be so easy.
