Pursue to Sword Summit

Chapter 132 - Difficulties of Escape

The Third Elder looked towards the entrance of the restaurant and saw that the two people who were fighting had disappeared. He became alert and hurriedly said to the waiter, "There's no need, let's find another place to eat."

With that, the Third Elder stood up and was about to leave, but the waiter suddenly blocked his path. His expression was no longer one of fawning, but one of a scoundrel.

"What's wrong? You want to leave before you eat? We don't have such a rule here. " The waiter was no longer the waiter, but a street hoodlum.

The third elder sneered, "Are you trying to pull me down? There's actually a black shop here?"

Everyone knew that this was the Royal City Lord's City, and anyone who dared to open a black shop here would simply be courting death. However, this waiter still had an arrogant face, and laughed sinisterly: "Old thing, do you know who opened this place? Just based on what you said, I can put you in prison. "

Just as he was speaking, a few men walked out from the shop. Of course, they were not customers, but the staff of the shop. Lin Mo noticed that these people were powerful, at least in the Innate Realm.

He was not a timid person, but because Qin Xinyin and Lin Mo were there, he had to take responsibility for protecting them, and the opponent was very strong, so it would be very difficult for him to protect the two of them. Thus, the Third Elder could only suppress his anger and say: "Then what do you want to do?"

The waiter smiled sinisterly, "How is it? Today, all of you will obediently sit here to eat. After eating, all of you will obediently stay here. Don't even think about going anywhere, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite. "

With that, he gestured to the few men behind him, who quickly called for the other customers and chased them out, leaving only the three of them in the shop.

After the few big sized men kicked all the guests out, they pulled the door open and locked them inside. At this point, the Third Elder and Lin Mo knew that something was amiss, someone must have purposely dealt with them.

The third elder had no choice but to swallow his anger when he saw that his opponents were almost on par with him. "I don't know when we offended you, but why did you make things difficult for us?"

The waiter was obviously their leader, although he looked young, he was very cunning. He sneered, "The one you have offended is not me, the one you have offended is my master. If my master is unhappy, he will make you stay here, and if you dare to resist, I guarantee that you will suffer many times more than you are right now."

He analyzed in his heart that he had offended someone when he came to the Imperial City. The first one was the princess, but after the princess had helped him a few times, it was impossible to make things difficult for him, and the second one was the Flying Dragon Gate, but most of the Flying Dragon Gate s had already been eliminated. As for the Lotus Sword Sect, it was even more impossible.

Lin Mo suddenly remembered a person. He was Murong Xin, the young master of the Murong Family, and the waiter had claimed that this was the master's place. To be able to open a restaurant in the imperial city, Murong Xin was the most suspicious.

But if they wanted to stay, then that was only for one reason, which was to prevent him from participating in the afternoon competition. If he wasn't able to participate in the competition, then it would be equivalent to giving up on himself.

If he did not go out, Lin Mo would definitely not be able to compete with him, and the other party was doing it for this. But if he went out, with his own strength, it would be hard for him to win.

"Aren't you afraid that I'll tell the authorities about this? I believe the authorities would never allow such a thing to happen. " The Third Elder still hoped that the negotiations would come to an end. He really did not wish for the first two possibilities to occur.

However, the waiter was already laughing at himself, "Old man, do you know who the official name is? Let me tell you, the official authority is our master. It's best to stay put and not let me attack you. "

Lin Mo walked to the Third Elder's side and whispered, "This may be Murong Xin's place. He wants to intentionally make things difficult for us."

Murong Xin, the Third Elder also immediately thought of the person beside the princess. He was a little doubtful, why would Murong Xin make things difficult for them, could it be that it was because of the previous matter?

Even the princess was helping them, why did Murong Xin do this? The third elder looked at Lin Mo and more or less understood why.

Facing a few opponents whose strength were about the same as his, the Third Elder decided to not resist, because the safety of Lin Mo and Qin Xinyin was much more important than the competition. Furthermore, the opponents probably wouldn't do anything to them, as they only wanted them to forfeit from the competition.

The Third Elder then said to Lin Mo: "Then we will stay here for a while, don't even think about the competition, just forget about this year's competition."

Lin Mo also nodded his head, he knew that the difference in strength between them and the other party was too huge, just the people in the shop alone had already surpassed them, who knew if there would still be any experts inside, even Lin Mo felt that he could not take the risk.

Lin Mo then said: "We will listen to whatever Third Elder says, we will stay here."

The Third Elder then said to the waiter, "I promise you that we will stay here and not go out. You should be relieved."

The waiter then nodded in satisfaction, "Old man, at least you know your place. Otherwise, if you had a good time, you would have stayed here obediently. I won't do anything to you. When night comes, I will naturally let you out."

With that, the waiter gestured to the few big men, "You guys just stay here and watch. Don't let them run away. If they run away, then we'll deal with you guys."

The few big sized men seemed to be extremely afraid of this waiter, and immediately nodded and surrounded Lin Mo and the others. The Third Elder let Lin Mo and the others sit down, but there were no more food or wine, and they had no mood to eat.

After waiting for around two hours, the Peppermint should have already started. Although Lin Mo was the last contestant to go up and fight, he had been waiting here the entire time and he couldn't get out even if he was the last.

Lin Mo knew that Murong Xin was making things difficult for him, but he seemed to be making too much trouble for himself. He didn't have any conflicts with, yet Murong Xin had secretly sent people to trap him, and even arranged such a trap for him.

"Third Elder, why is this Murong Xin making things difficult for us? We don't have any deep grudges between us, furthermore, what benefits does he get if I can't participate in the competition?" Lin Mo was a little confused.

Qin Xinyin, however, was able to see through Murong Xin with a single glance. She hurriedly said: "Lin Mo, this is clearly just him being jealous of you, he wants to pursue the princess, but the princess seems to be especially interested in you. He naturally wants to step on you beneath her feet so that you won't have the chance to appear in front of the princess.

Lin Mo shook his head repeatedly after hearing what Qi Qin Xinyin said, "Senior Sister, is it as outrageous as you say? There's no relationship between me and the princess at all. If you were to say that we are related, it would be because she helped me. It should be said that I owe her a favor.

Who would have thought that the Third Elder would laugh: "I can see it, but although you can't feel it, I can see it clearly, especially over the love field, as long as there is even the slightest fluctuation, an accident will happen. When Murong Xin saw the princess helping you like this, he would of course feel jealous, and it would make sense for us to do so."

Lin Mo could only feel speechless, he did not think that this would bring him any trouble, and it was huge trouble, it seemed that as long as they were in the Imperial City, Murong Xin would find trouble with them.

Lin Mo then asked the Third Elder: "Are we just going to wait like this? Is there any other way? "

The third elder shook his head, "Look at these people guarding us. All of them might be stronger than me. We don't have any chance to escape at all. We should be careful and not anger them."

Lin Mo was more or less unresigned in his heart. Giving up the competition like this was equivalent to giving up so many days of preparation, and there was no meaning to it anymore.

Time passed minute after minute. Another two hours had passed. According to his previous matches, he would soon be going on stage. If he continued to wait, he would definitely miss the match.

And that was Princess Ming Yi. When Ming Yi returned in the afternoon, she had been searching for Lin Mo's figure the entire time. Even when he was about to go on stage, Lin Mo had still not appeared, which was quite a big blow to her.

Could it be that this kid is really scared, knowing that his opponent is very strong and doesn't dare to come? Ming Yi felt a little regretful in his heart. Should he not have immediately found such a strong opponent for him and scare him away?

If that was the case, she wouldn't care about him. As time passed, Lin Mo still didn't appear, and she couldn't sit still any longer, she immediately found her subordinates to inquire about Lin Mo's whereabouts.

But this time, her subordinate did not give her a good news, it was a rare occurrence in the past, causing Ming Yi to be unable to sit still, she thought that Lin Mo had probably gone to eat, and was probably still at a restaurant. She immediately ordered her subordinate to flip through all the restaurants nearby and make sure to find Lin Mo.

His subordinate, along with the princess, arranged for over a hundred people to look for Lin Mo's whereabouts. This search delayed them for a while longer, and the last batch of participants had already went up onto the stage, ready for battle.

If Lin Mo could not hurry over before the end of the competition, his qualification to compete would be cancelled, and even if he had the face of a princess, he would still not be able to make the people below acknowledge him, so he had to find Lin Mo as soon as possible.

His subordinate quickly replied him, but it was not good news. His subordinate reported that he had searched through every restaurant and street within a radius of five kilometers, but did not find any trace of Lin Mo.

After hearing the news, Ming Yi was so angry that she wanted to flip a table. Could it be that this brat really escaped right before the battle?

Ming Yi immediately shouted: "Why aren't we searching, do they dare to disobey my orders?"

His men quickly answered, "It's not that they dare to disobey. It's just that this restaurant is a little strange. It's actually closed for business today. That's why there's no way to search it. "

It's closed, and there's actually a restaurant closing for such a profitable day, is there a problem? There must be a problem, Ming Yi immediately shouted: "You bring your people to this restaurant, I want to see why they are closing."

The subordinate said hesitantly: "Princess, are you really going to go personally? This place still needs you, Princess, so why don't you let your subordinates handle it? "
