Chapter 1359: Ask The Annon Sutra
“How am I going to get out of this one?”
After Papersmith took his leave, Ye Qing looked at the sky with a grave expression and unfocused eyes.
Yes, he had agreed to Fang Zhiyong’s demand with barely any hesitation. Yes, he had told his friends with great confidence and determination that he would save their families no matter what.
But the fact was, he wasn’t confident in his chances at all.
He absolutely needed to save both his friends’ families and his fellow Strangers.
Therefore, he must go to the capital.
But how was he going to make it out of the death trap that was surely waiting for him at the capital?
He just could not think of anything.
Just charging right in and praying for the best was... absolutely not going to work, obviously.
For starters, the net Fang Zhiyong had prepared for him was almost certainly going to be impenetrable. Yes, he was a Half-Sage with quite the formidable force under his name, and he could even invite a Sage or two to help him. Looking at it that way, he was probably one of, if not the most connected Half-Sages in the entire world.
But so what? Fang Zhiyong was the world famous Grand Mentor of Chu. The guy had cultivated his influence and connections for over a century. No matter what, Fang Zhiyong could always muster a bigger and better force than him. To try and beat him in terms of influence and connections was akin to committing suicide.
