The two of them climbed over the side wall.
However, it seemed like the other side had anticipated that they wouldn't leave so easily, and were already waiting for them upstairs.
"Stay behind me later! It looks like they're more likely after me."
Yang Yan said in a deep voice.
The building here was very tall. Although it wasn't fully constructed, it was already over twenty stories high.
Yang Yan glanced around and prepared to leap up directly to the rooftop.
"Slow down, let me arrange something first."
Zhiyuan took out a phone from her pocket, pressed a few buttons, and then said:
"Alright, let's go! I also want to see who they are after all!"
When the two reached the upper floor, several masked individuals were already waiting there.
"Who are you?"
Zhiyuan quickly scanned over the few people coldly and said.
"We're only here for Shen Zhiyuan, it's none of your business, nor do we wish to offend you. You can leave as if you never saw us today."
One of the masked men stepped forward, looking at Yang Yan with some apprehension, and said in a low voice.
Yang Yan was slightly taken aback and said unexpectedly:
"So you're not here for me! I thought you were here for me, giving me a chance to stretch my muscles."
"Our target is Shen Zhiyuan, it's none of your business. You can leave."
The leading masked man's eyes flickered with uncertainty, and he immediately added another sentence.
"That's easy to say! Speaking of which, when you drugged just now, you even drugged my cup, didn't you!"
"Hmph! Now you say it's none of my business, do you think I'll believe you? What if I leave first, and you deal with her and then come for me, what do I do?"
Yang Yan suddenly laughed.
"That drug was just a sedative and won't endanger lives. In this Imperial Capital, no one dares to threaten Miss Shen's life unless they're tired of living."
"So, there's no need for you to get involved. Moreover, as we saw today, you're not very close with Miss Shen, are you? Earlier we saw you two in a quarrel at the supermarket."
The masked man seemed full of apprehension about Yang Yan and continued to persuade him.
Hearing the masked man's words, Zhiyuan's eyebrows twitched uncontrollably.
Recalling the previous incident, she was simmering with anger.
"Who exactly are you? Knowing who I am, you still dare to make a move on me? Are you planning to be enemies with the Shen Family?"
Zhiyuan said coldly.
"Not at all! How could little people like us dare to be enemies with the renowned Shen Family? It's just that one of our brothers is in your hands, so we have no choice but to resort to this."
"We just want to ask Miss Shen to come with us once. Once our brother returns, you can leave. Don't worry, no one dares to harm you."
The masked man directly stated their intention.
"So, you're here for Jiu Mazi? Are you the rebels from Dragon Tiger Mountain?"
Zhiyuan looked at the few people in shock and said.
"Rebels? Haha! Miss Shen, please mind your words. Those old ones are so blinded by age that they can't see the current state of the world."
"We can't just stand by and watch our ancestors' hard-earned foundation fall into ruin, even total destruction, so we want to stand out and lead Dragon Tiger Mountain back to glory!"
"But unfortunately, we eventually failed. We must admit, though those old guys are blind with age and on their last legs, their strength is still quite formidable. We are no match for them!"
From the conversation between Zhiyuan and the masked man, Yang Yan could roughly guess the other party's objective.
It seemed like Zhiyuan's family had captured one of their people, and they intended to capture Zhiyuan to threaten the Shen family for a trade.
Moreover, from their conversation, these few guys turned out to be from Dragon Tiger Mountain.
What is Dragon Tiger Mountain? It's the leading place of the Daoist schools in the current world.
Everyone knows that in the past, the Celestial Master refined the Nine Heavens Divine Pill, and then the Dragon and Tiger appeared once the pill was complete, right?
Unexpectedly, there would actually be rebels on Dragon Tiger Mountain now.
Yang Yan curiously observed the few people without speaking.
Zhiyuan understood that on her own, she definitely couldn't leave today.
She wondered whether to say she was lucky or that these guys were unlucky. Yang Yan happened to be here too.
With his help, today not one of these guys could hope to escape.
The chance to capture the rebel remnants from Dragon Tiger Mountain was indeed an unexpected joy.
However, seeing Yang Yan's demeanor, she felt she should inform him of the whole story, so she quickly said:
"These Dragon Tiger Mountain rebels wanted to imitate their first-generation Celestial Master in alchemy. Alchemy is one thing, but these crazed people used children's hearts and livers as medicinal guides!"
"Later, after being discovered by the current Sect Leader of Dragon Tiger Mountain, they actually tried to kill the Sect Leader and seize Dragon Tiger Mountain."
Hearing this, Yang Yan's eyes darkened immediately, then he smirked and said:
"No need to say, these guys failed. And then, someone fell into your hands, right?"
Zhiyuan nodded gently:
"Yes! The one that fell into our hands was no ordinary person, but a genius in alchemy, and also a madman. He happened to find some clues in ancient books about refining the Dragon and Tiger Pill, and then he started experimenting crazily."
"Although he didn't succeed in making the Dragon and Tiger Pill, that guy made a kind of pill that once consumed, would increase one's strength tenfold!"
"Though the side effects were severe, potentially fatal, one must admit that if that pill were given to death warriors, its lethality wouldn't just rise by one tier."
"What angered us most is that these guys sold that kind of pill to crazed organizations like Blood Scorpion."
At the end of her words, Zhiyuan's eyes were ablaze with fury, her whole aura changed.
Listening to Zhiyuan's words, a glint of coldness flashed in Yang Yan's eyes as well.
He recalled an event he didn't want to remember.
The Sun died at the hands of Blood Scorpions!
Although not a single person from those Blood Scorpions got away back then, it couldn't quell Yang Yan's anger.
If it weren't for being unable to find the Blood Scorpions' lair, Yang Yan would've already gone to exact vengeance.
However, he had long secretly sworn that should he encounter any Blood Scorpions, there wouldn't be any mercy.
Now hearing Zhiyuan say these guys sold that kind of pill to Blood Scorpions, recalling the suddenly explosive fighting capabilities of those guys, Yang Yan had some insights.
"Miss Shen, watch your mouth! We only sell the drugs, we never care about who the buyers are or what they do with them."
"It's just like those in the current world selling knives, they're only responsible for selling and not concerning themselves with what the buyers do!"
The leading masked man sneered as he spoke.
"Is that so? How exactly could I be speaking recklessly? And, you're merely responsible for selling, are you? Very well!"
"It's just as well, I've been struggling to find the culprit in this matter! Now that there are leads, it's all the better."
As Yang Yan spoke, he raised his right hand.
Buzz!
Accompanied by a mild tremor, a silvery-white orb of light suddenly shone brightly.
