Seeing more and more people rushing over, Li Mang knew he couldn't stay any longer. However, the walls and the outside were lined with high-voltage electricity, so he had to be cautious. At this point, he had no time to hesitate. He turned his back to the people below, quietly took out the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* from his chest, and opened the map of the Southern Mountains. Then, he kicked the wall forcefully, and his body nimbly flipped over the wall.
Li Mang glanced down hurriedly, and his face immediately changed. The spot where he was about to land was covered with dense electric grids, and they were sharp and needle-like. If he really fell there, he would surely die!
So, Li Mang didn't hesitate. The moment he was out of sight of Shi Tou and the others, he hurriedly looked at the map of the Southern Mountains in his hand and entered it with a thought.
"Jinglong, come up quickly!" Upon entering Zhaoyao Mountain, Li Mang immediately called out to Jinglong. After entering the *Classic of Mountains and Seas* space, he would reappear at the same point he entered. Now, he could only escape with Jinglong's help.
"Swish!"
"Roar!" Jinglong was actually still playing in the Lijue River. Hearing his master's call, he broke through the water and quickly moved his crystal-clear body to Li Mang's side, looking at his master, who had returned, in confusion.
"I'm in danger outside and need your help to escape!" Li Mang didn't waste words, explaining the situation in a few sentences. Then he suddenly asked, "Can you turn invisible?"
"Roar!" Jinglong nodded, and his body gradually faded until it completely disappeared. Li Mang, who was so close, couldn't even see him. But when he reached out, he could still feel the hard, crystal-clear scales. Jinglong's invisibility was truly amazing.
Outside, seeing Li Mang escape over the wall, Shi Tou was stunned but didn't follow. He fell back to the ground from the ten-meter-high wall. He knew very well the high walls of the Yanhuang Compound. Even someone at Yang Fan's level wouldn't dare to intrude, and he would die immediately if he tried. As for Li Mang's current situation, he had no idea.
At this moment, many people had gathered at the base of the high wall. Everyone was curious about who was escaping, and Yang Fan had also arrived. Shi Tou didn't dare to look at him directly and just lowered his head in guilt. In terms of strength, he could easily kill Li Mang, but he hadn't expected Li Mang's lightness of body to be so incredible, which led to the complete failure of the plan.
"Yang Fan, I heard you want to capture Li Mang. What's going on?" Cheng Wei, with a cold expression, stopped Yang Fan, who was about to chase after Li Mang.
"Brother Cheng, Xiao Yan is pretending to be foolish. He was just plotting something with Li Mang, and I suspect they are spies sent by Chiyou," Yang Fan said seriously, adjusting his glasses.
"… Are you joking?" Cheng Wei looked at him in disbelief, doubting the authenticity of the information. Li Mang had trained with him for so long. It was impossible for there to be no feelings between them. Although they didn't have a master-disciple relationship, Li Mang had always treated him as a master.
"If not, why would he run? And the outside of this high wall is full of high-voltage grids. If he weren't guilty, would he risk his life to escape?" Yang Fan countered, seeing Cheng Wei's speechless reaction. He lightly stepped on the ground, and his whole body floated up, even surpassing the twenty-meter-high wall. Although he thought Li Mang would likely be electrocuted to death, he wouldn't feel at ease until he saw it with his own eyes.
"Buzz!" With his full abilities activated, Yang Fan could briefly stand in the air. However, what shocked him was that Li Mang wasn't electrocuted to death. Instead, he was flying away in a balanced manner…
"How is this possible!" Yang Fan wobbled in the air, almost falling.
Even he, at his current level, couldn't maintain such balance while flying, and Li Mang wasn't a wind-type ability user. How could he have such a skill?
In fact, Li Mang was standing on Jinglong, but since Jinglong was invisible, it led Yang Fan to mistakenly think Li Mang was flying in the air.
Despite his shock, Yang Fan quickly regained his composure. His eyes flashed with a fierce look, and a ball of energy formed in his palm, which he threw at Li Mang's back.
"Whoosh…"
The sound of the energy ball breaking through the air startled Li Mang, but without his command, Jinglong quickly ascended, evading Yang Fan's fatal attack, which ultimately hit the thorny vines below.
"Boom!"
A loud explosion shook the ground, and the sound waves rolled. Li Mang looked down and couldn't help but gasp. The area below looked like it had been hit by a missile, with large patches of thorny vines destroyed and smoke billowing. The electric grids disguised as thorny vines were exposed, and they were densely packed. Rushing in recklessly would be a death sentence.
"Jinglong, let's go!" Li Mang didn't dare to stay any longer. He urged Jinglong to carry him away quickly. While Yang Fan couldn't fly, it didn't mean no one in the Yanhuang Compound could. If caught by those strong individuals, Li Mang didn't know what fate awaited him. Yang Fan now held all the cards.
Perhaps, without waiting for Li Mang to explain, Yang Fan would use various means to assassinate him. Xiao Yan had been hesitant to expose his crimes, not out of cowardice, but because he knew he couldn't match Yang Fan. Unfortunately, after enduring humiliation for a year, Xiao Yan still couldn't get rid of Yang Fan and ended up losing his life, a truly tragic and lamentable end.
"…" Watching Li Mang's back disappear, Yang Fan's face turned unusually ugly, his veins bulging, making him look terrifying. If Li Mang saw this, he would recognize it as the scene he saw in the Destiny Sky Disk.
At this moment, Yang Fan couldn't understand how Li Mang managed to fly in the air. Even he couldn't do it, which was why he didn't pursue. Additionally, when attacked, Li Mang kept ascending without any support… it was bizarre!
Yang Fan couldn't stay in the air for long and slowly descended. His line of sight was blocked by the high wall as Li Mang's back disappeared.
"Shi Tou, take people to 'arrest' Li Mang!" Yang Fan emphasized the word "arrest," clearly indicating his true intention was to kill. Li Mang knew too much, and if he didn't die, Yang Fan wouldn't feel at ease.
"… Yes!" Shi Tou understood and left with the others.
"Yang Fan, could there be a misunderstanding? Li Mang was brought back by you. He was just an ordinary person then. How could he be a spy for Chiyou?" Daozhang Zhang couldn't help but ask. Since the case of the female ghost in Mengshan, he had always had a good impression of Li Mang, and they often chatted. Seeing Li Mang in trouble, he couldn't help but speak up for him.
"Li Mang is a good kid. Manager Yang, don't wrong a good person," Old Cao also chimed in, and the others, including Grandma Snake, nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Yan has been pretending to be foolish for a long time. Now he appears in Li Mang's courtyard, which is suspicious. Besides, the inner courtyard is heavily guarded. How did he escape without assistance? It's impossible. Also, Li Mang's strength is greatly hidden. Do you know what I saw just now? … Flying in the air! Even we can't do that so effortlessly," Yang Fan calmly responded to their doubts.
Pausing, he added sharply, "In summary, do you still think he's not suspicious? I brought Li Mang in, and you all know how I treated him. You feel sorry for him, but don't I feel the same pain?"
"…" Everyone fell silent, unable to respond.
"Flying in the air?" Cheng Wei was the first to break the silence, finding it unbelievable. He had noticed that Li Mang's 'lightness of body' had improved a lot recently, but it was far from the realm of standing in the air, let alone flying.
At his level, he could only glide for a short distance of ten to eight meters with the help of external forces. Flying over the thorny vines outside the high wall was impossible.
Li Mang was only in his early twenties, showing tremendous potential… Cheng Wei had always been optimistic about Li Mang's future, which was why he had taught him with all his heart. When he heard that Li Mang was in trouble in Zhangjiajie, he had volunteered to go and rescue him.
But now, Cheng Wei realized he had underestimated Li Mang's potential.
"Alas…" Thinking of Li Mang's current actions, Cheng Wei could only sigh deeply, feeling both regret and frustration.
