Chapter 99

Xiao Ran and his two companions fell into the darkness. Xiao Ran had already chosen a place with the weakest military presence, so when the three landed, there was not a single chaotic soldier around them! Xu Ziling was overjoyed and said, "Brother Ran, I didn't expect you to be here!"

Kou Zhong, however, said, "Brother Ran, Young Master Ling once said you had a pair of wings. I never believed it, but I didn't expect you to actually use a cloak to fly in the sky! If you really had a pair of wings, wouldn't you be able to fly freely in the sky?"

Hearing this, Xiao Ran's heart stirred. If he really had a pair of wings and could fly using his true qi, wouldn't that be better than using a cloak?

This could be possible, and he could have Lu Miazi think of a way.

In the ancient continent, no one had ever done this because reaching the fourth level of qi cultivation allowed one to condense a qi wing and fly freely. No one had thought about it in this way!

In this world, however, no one had such refined true qi, nor could anyone control it so precisely, so no one had thought about it in this way!

Xiao Ran was a pure Earthling and had no psychological barrier to using tools!

Xiao Ran said irritably, "I just flew so far, consuming a lot of my true qi. Hurry up and finish the task, and break out of here. Otherwise, if there are too many people, I won't be confident in breaking out of the army!"

"Do you two have anything else to say?"

Kou Zhong said, "Originally, we wanted to overthrow Yuwen Huaji through Yang Guang, but now it's impossible!"

"We want to find Zhen Ge, whom we've told you about. She can be considered our mother. She was summoned to the palace by Yang Guang, and we don't know if she's alive or dead. We want to find her!"

Xiao Ran nodded and said, "I know about this, but she's not in the palace; she's at Yuwen Huaji's house!"

"Now that the Yuwen clan has mobilized all their elite forces to attack the palace, it shouldn't be difficult for me to save Zhen Ge from Yuwen Huaji's house!"

"I have one more thing. I need to save Yang Guang's son. Do you want to go with me to save Yang Guang's son first, and then go together to save Zhen Ge, or do you want to go save Zhen Ge on your own?"

Xu Ziling and Kou Zhong showed a thoughtful look, and after a moment, they showed a hint of understanding.

Xu Ziling said, "Brother Ran, you want to use the king to establish yourself, wanting to stabilize the world by first having a righteous cause, just like Cao Cao used the emperor to command the vassals!"

"So we will accompany Brother Ran on this journey, but..."

Xiao Ran said, "Don't worry. The Yuwen family is safe now, and I want to save people as quickly as possible!"

"You two better not hold me back!"

Kou Zhong was not at all concerned and chuckled, "After we wandered the江湖 (jianghu), we realized how exquisite the martial arts Brother Ran taught us are. Plus, we've made a lot of progress these days. We'll definitely make Brother Ran see something amazing!"

Xu Ziling also sighed, "We now understand how precious the method Brother Ran taught us to refine the dantian and spirit acupoints is."

"We will assist Brother Ran!"

Xiao Ran smiled, "We are brothers, so let's not say such things. Let's go!"

Xiao Ran caught a eunuch and used mind control to find out where Yang Guang's youngest son, Yang Dai, was, and then they rushed over!

The main force of the rebel army was with Yang Guang, and there weren't many people sent to capture Yang Dai, but it was still too much for Yang Dai's personal guards to handle!

These guards were the most loyal to the Yang family and did not surrender even in this situation!

A middle-aged man protected Yang Dai behind him and shouted, "You traitors, if you want to kill Prince Chu, you must step over my dead body..."

As he spoke, he was hit by a spear in the waist, creating a bloody hole, but he didn't even notice!

At this moment, Xiao Ran and his two companions appeared. Although there weren't many people to capture Yang Dai, there were still about two hundred people. For three people to charge into a formation of two hundred was quite risky!

Kou Zhong wielded the long sword Xiao Ran had given him, infused with true qi, and a white blade aura appeared, slashing at the person in front!

Xu Ziling also knew that having a weapon was better in such a melee, so he held a long sword he had taken and charged in!

With just this one sword and one blade, Xiao Ran could see that the two had indeed made significant progress. It seemed that his previous teaching methods were not good enough; these two needed to grow quickly in battle!

Xiao Ran's body technique unfolded, and he instantly passed the two, his eyes glowing blood red, and the mind control was fully activated. Everyone on the scene was stunned. Most of them were second or third-rate martial artists, and none could resist the mind control!

Xiao Ran had no intention of killing and took the opportunity to move through the crowd, picking up the dazed Yang Dai in his arms!

Kou Zhong slashed through the throat of the person in front, and Xu Ziling stabbed a person's arm, rendering him combat ineffective!

They now had more battle experience and immediately felt something was wrong. Why were the enemies acting like fools? What was the point of killing such opponents?

The two stopped, and at this moment, the soldiers came to their senses!

Remembering their previous state of being bewitched, their eyes turned extremely fearful when they looked at Xiao Ran!

Someone whispered, "Sorcery, sorcery..."

Then, influenced by him, everyone shouted, "Sorcery!"

The red light in Xiao Ran's eyes dimmed, and he said coolly, "If you don't leave now, you won't be able to leave at all!"

These soldiers felt the fierce aura emanating from Xiao Ran. The timid ones wet their pants, and finally, someone couldn't bear the pressure and turned to flee, causing a chain reaction, and everyone fled!

The two dragons stood there in shock. They had known Xiao Ran was powerful, but they didn't know he was this powerful. Over two hundred martial artists had collapsed under just one look from him!

The middle-aged man who had protected Yang Dai said to Xiao Ran, "Thank you for your help, sir. May I ask who you are?"

Xiao Ran put down Yang Dai and took out Yang Guang's imperial edict, handing it to him.

Yang Dai finally came to his senses. Although his face was pale, he regained his composure, took the edict, and after reading it, his eyes turned red.

He knew that Yang Guang had no chance of survival, or he wouldn't have issued such an edict. Yang Guang was a villain in the eyes of the world, but to him, he was a father!

He respectfully bowed to Xiao Ran, "I greet Master Xiao!"

It turned out that in this edict, Yang Guang appointed Xiao Ran as the imperial teacher, passed the throne to Yang Dai, and had Xiao Ran govern on his behalf!

In this chaotic world, such an edict was not much better than a piece of paper. Without an army, no one would pay attention to it!

However, it gave Xiao Ran a righteous cause, making his actions much more convenient!

The middle-aged man, seeing this, said to Xiao Ran, "I greet the Imperial Teacher. With the Imperial Teacher's martial arts, you can ensure the prince's safety!"

He then said to the remaining guards around Yang Dai, "The prince is now safe, but we have received great grace from the emperor and cannot follow the prince!"

He then led the remaining guards to the most intense fighting area!

Kou Zhong was somewhat stunned, "I didn't expect a tyrant like Yang Guang to have such loyal subordinates!"

Xiao Ran said, "People have many sides. Yang Guang can be evil to some, but he can also be good and win people's hearts."

Hearing the two call his father by his name, Yang Dai seemed not to hear it!

He knew that from today, his life was in Xiao Ran's hands, and he dared not show any dissatisfaction!

For a twelve-year-old boy, this was indeed a bit cruel!

Xiao Ran seemed to guess Yang Dai's thoughts and smiled at him, "Don't worry. I had an agreement with your father and will not harm you!"

"I will use your name, but I will also give you benefits. You don't need to be so cautious and afraid in front of me."

Then, Xiao Ran led the two dragons out of there and went to Yuwen Huaji's house!

With the Yuwen family's elite forces all out, how could they stop Xiao Ran and his two companions? They quickly found Zhen Ge!

With the two dragons, it didn't take much effort to persuade Zhen Ge to leave. Then, the five of them met up with Shen Luoyan, left Yangzhou, and departed from this chaotic place!

(Without realizing it, we've reached 100 chapters, please vote!)

As for whether Yang Guang had a son named Yang Dai who died by his side, I checked the records and am not sure. I also don't know his title, so I gave him a name!
