Chapter 1264: Pu Family Takes Action

Pujianyue's gaze swept around, his peripheral vision scanning the surroundings as if searching for something.

After a slight hesitation, he spoke calmly:"Consider yourselves sensible."

With that, his body swayed, and he shot into the air under everyone's gaze, flying out through the broken ceiling.

Pujianyue had caused such a stir at the Caobang headquarters simply to attract the King of Silver. He had done all he could. He couldn't actually start teaching these Caobang members a lesson. Regardless of whether he could win, the news of Heart 6's appearance had already spread. If Rank Eights or even Demigods were to act after hearing the news, he would surely die.

Seeing "Chen Ling" finally leave, the Caobang members' hearts, which had been hanging, finally settled, and expressions of relief after narrowly escaping disaster appeared on their faces.

"What are you still standing around for??" the Rank Seven gritted his teeth and demanded, "Go quickly and inform the Pu family and the Nanhai high-ups! Are we really going to let him roam freely in the domain?! That's a Calamity!"

Only then did the Caobang members snap back to reality. They immediately split into several groups and ran out, informing various different factions.

The Caobang only had two Rank Sevens, so they dared not confront Chen Ling directly. But the Pu family was different; they were the Nanhai's foremost Divine Dao organization. Not only did they have Demigods and Rank Eights, but they also felt more confident even when facing a Mocking Calamity.

The gang leader had originally wanted to send people to secretly track Pujianyue, but after thinking it over, he realized their tracking skills surely couldn't compare to Heart 6, who was best at disguise. Besides, the Caobang had only just escaped disaster; why would they actively provoke this plague god? For an enemy of this level, it was better to let Nanhai Lord and the Pu family worry about it.

On the other side, Pujianyue plunged into a secluded alleyway without looking back, moving at top speed. His form repeatedly dissolved into strokes for instant transmission, then reformed into human shape again and again. In the blink of an eye, he had already covered several kilometers, his anxious heart pounding almost out of his chest!

Was the King of Silver watching him? Were Nanhai Lord and those high-level Divine Dao practitioners chasing him?

Pujianyue had completely lost his previous domineering aura. He was just running for his life. He had done all he needed to do. Whether the King of Silver had taken the bait or not, he had only one thought in his mind: to shake off everyone.

"Move faster, leave no traces, get away as quickly as possible..." Pujianyue muttered to himself. His gaze caught sight of a nearby manhole cover, and his eyes lit up. His body immediately transformed into numerous strokes and vanished into it.

"Heart 6 Chen Ling has appeared at the Caobang!"

The words echoed above the Pu family residence. Han Meng, who had just entered the courtyard, suddenly froze. He watched the figure frantically running to deliver the message within the Pu family, his eyes first showing shock, then a hint of confusion.

Chen Ling isn't in the Pu family? How could this be... Had he guessed wrong?

Even Han Meng, at this moment, felt confused about his own deduction. He had thought he was close to catching Chen Ling, but in the blink of an eye, Chen Ling had appeared in a place he had never anticipated.

It wasn't just Han Meng; everyone else, both interrogators and those being questioned, also froze. Heart 6? He's actually in the Nanhai domain?! So he really killed the two council members? Then what are they still interrogating for??

"All Pu family members Rank Six and above, follow me! Track the Calamity, Chen Ling!!"

A thunderous roar came from deep within the Pu family residence. The Pu family patriarch himself had emerged from his room, his Rank Eight aura spreading out, churning the sky and earth as if into ink. The next second, his form transformed into a streak of light and vanished into the horizon.

The Pu family was the pillar of the Nanhai domain. Now that a Mocking Calamity had shown its tracks, the Pu family had to take the lead. With the patriarch acting personally, the other Pu family elders also moved out one after another, flying towards the Caobang's direction.

"What? Still want to continue the interrogation?" Pu Chunshu coldly watched the official who had been so arrogant moments ago, interrogating him alone, and spoke with a hint of sarcasm.

After hearing that the real Heart 6 was at the Caobang, the official couldn't keep a straight face. They had caused such a huge commotion searching the Pu family... and now, before the interrogation was even over, the real culprit had been exposed outside, making them seem utterly foolish.

"...No need," the official took a deep breath. "It seems this time, it was a misunderstanding..."

"I don't care about misunderstandings or not. All I know is that a Mocking Calamity has appeared, and we, the Pu family, are at the forefront. And what about you?" Pu Chunshu sneered. "Do you want to come with us to track the Mocking Calamity?"

The official's face turned pale, and he remained silent. They were merely investigators and officials for the case, not high-level Divine Dao practitioners. Tracking a Mocking Calamity? How was that different from going to their deaths?

"I know you were just following orders, but the Pu family also has its dignity," Pu Chunshu said indifferently. "After this matter concludes... we'll settle this score properly."

With that, Pu Chunshu erupted with a Rank Six aura and pursued those streaks of light!

All of the Pu family's high-level combatants had been dispatched, leaving only the younger generation behind. The entire compound fell silent, and the officials, whose interrogations were halfway through, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"What are you still standing around for?" The official walked through the courtyard directly towards the main gate, his expression grim. "Withdraw!"

Everyone immediately rushed out of the Pu family residence as if fleeing for their lives, got into the vehicles at the entrance, and departed amidst roars of engines.

Seeing this, Pu Shu's eyes flashed with surprise!"Cousin, they've left! They didn't even get to question us!"

Pu Shu's heart, which had been hanging, finally completely relaxed. He had originally been worried that his actions would be exposed, but now it seemed they wouldn't come back to question anyone again for a while... No, it was more likely that it was questionable whether these officials could even continue working for the government in the future.

This meant he was completely safe!

Pu Shu was in a good mood. He suddenly felt that Heart 6 wasn't so annoying now; he had actually appeared at such a coincidental moment to cause trouble and get him out of a tight spot.

"Mhm," Chen Ling looked in the direction the Pu family members had left, and responded absently. So the Pu family reacted this strongly to news of his whereabouts... Dispatching so many people all at once just to corner him? Under the encirclement of so many Rank Sixes, Sevens, and Eights, could that idiot really escape? It wasn't time for him to be caught yet.

But it didn't matter... If Pujianyue, this tool, was rendered useless, then he would just create a new "Heart 6."

"Cousin, it's Han Meng!" Pu Shu spotted Han Meng's figure from afar, and a glint flashed in his eyes!

Pu Shu had just luckily escaped a predicament, and knowing that no one would dare provoke the Pu family for a while, he was feeling quite reckless. Now, coincidentally seeing his old rival approach, he naturally couldn't just swallow his anger.

He sneered, "Cousin, it's time to teach him a little lesson... What do you say?"

Chen Ling's expression was subtle as he saw Han Meng approaching. He glanced at Pu Shu, who was clearly in high spirits, and finally nodded: "Go on, I'll back you up."
