C14 Chase Again
"If the white figure that I saw on that stormy day was really General Shi, then that would be the greatest glory of my life!"
— — President and Chief Research Elder of Shi Soong Research Institute, Weng San Weng.

Shi Soong dashed out and rushed at full speed in the direction of Mu Touwu, who had heard the sound earlier.
The heavy rain was still pouring down. Under the influence of the strong wind, it crashed into the ground and buildings, producing an earth-shattering sound. Occasionally, there would be the sound of thunder, and then the sky would rumble.
After running for a while, Shi Soong lost his direction again. He didn't know where Mu Touwu went after that man, so he shouted anxiously: "Constable Mu!" "Constable Mu!"
After shouting twice, he felt that it was weird to shout so loudly. He could not muster up any strength to shout at all, so he changed his shouting method and shouted in all directions, "Old Mu! "Old Mu!"
He had just shouted twice when he felt that something wasn't right. He couldn't figure out what exactly was wrong, yet he couldn't find the right words.
While he was hesitating, he suddenly heard a faint "waaa" sound from the distance amidst the roaring sound of the torrential rain.
The sound didn't sound loud because there was a rainstorm roaring from a distance, but the penetrative power of the sound was extremely strong. Shi Soong's continuous shouts didn't seem as loud as the piercing power of the weird cry.
In the midst of the heavy rain, Shi Soong's sensitive senses caught sight of this strange shout and he immediately understood that this was Mu Touwu's voice. No one knew what trouble he had encountered!
Shi Soong did not hesitate at all and directly stepped on his Cloud-stepping Step. He soared into the sky and stopped running along the streets and alleys, and flew straight up to the rooftop.
"Mom, there's a deity flying in the sky outside …" A childish voice sounded out from a room. A little boy with his hands on his cheeks was lying by the window. He was looking out at the heavy rain and the fierce winds with great interest when he suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
"Little San is talking nonsense again. Where is the deity?! He's daydreaming again!" "Come here quickly …" A middle-aged woman's voice responded, her tone filled with love and a gentle reprimand.
"There's an Immortal! There's really an Immortal!" Little San didn't say anything, but he was quite confident in himself. He continued to look outside at the wind and rain, his big eyes full of excitement and fantasy.
Shi Soong leaped two and three times through the air and arrived at the place where the sound came from. While he was still in the air, he saw a burly man in a short uniform of a constable. "Stop right there!"
Without a doubt, it was Mu Touwu from the Wu and Steel Camp. However, as he ran, his body felt a bit out of sync and he seemed to be in pain. However, he could not see the person in front of him.
Shi Soong immediately jumped to Mu Touwu's side and asked while running, "Where did that person go?"
Shi Soong dropped from the sky and suddenly shouted. Mu Touwu was shocked as he looked at Shi Soong with a face full of shock. His running footsteps also became chaotic as his body shook violently.
After calming himself down, Mu Touwu looked around before turning his head back. He did not answer Shi Soong's question, but he was still shocked and said, "You, where did you come from?"
His tone was incredulous. He hadn't heard a sound, but this man had suddenly appeared next to him like a ghost. This was a taboo for martial artists. Even though Mu Touwu had the courage of a bear, he still felt a chill run down his spine.
Shi Soong was at a loss of words and did not know how to reply. However, the person chasing after him disappeared, and just as he was about to speak with anxiety in his heart, he heard Mu Touwu say with a face of surprise, "Aren't you in front? What about the man you were after? Have you already caught it? "
Mu Touwu had not seen Shi Soong chasing that person since the beginning. He had not even seen the corner of his gray clothes. He did not know that Blue-robed Youth, who was chasing that person, was one of Shi Soong's pursuers.
Mu Touwu lost sight of Shi Soong and the person in front of him, and seeing Blue-robed Youth's suspicious appearance, he suspected that the person Shi Soong was chasing was a gangster, so he chased after him.
Unexpectedly, Shi Soong suddenly appeared beside him, which surprised Mu Touwu and confused him.
Mu Touwu's series of questions made Shi Soong break out in a cold sweat. He suddenly felt embarrassed. How should he put it … That's hard to say … He turned his head in frustration and thought to himself: "It's hard to say, so I won't say it!"
He turned to Mu Touwu and said, "It's a long story. The most important thing is the person who chased us earlier. Where did he go?"
Mu Touwu seemed to have just woken up from his stupor. He pointed to an alley in the distance and said, "I saw him run into that alley …"
Before Mu Touwu could finish his sentence, Shi Soong had already flashed and dashed forward. After a few steps, he stomped on the ground and flew up into the air, directly onto the roof of the house on the wall. With a rapid leap, he tapped on the roof and the yard wall a few times, and actually flew up to the sky above the alley.
Mu Touwu was stunned again.
With Mu Touwu's stamina, he could jump up to the eight-foot high wall by using the momentum from his charge and barely make a few steps on the roof. But to say that he continuously jumped between the high wall and the roof, he definitely couldn't.
Blue-robed Youth, who was chasing just now, was already extremely fast. Even with his full strength, he could only watch as Blue-robed Youth's back entered the alley. There was nothing he could do.
However, Shi Soong's leaps and bounds seemed to be a level higher than Blue-robed Youth!
What made Mu Touwu even more embarrassed was that when he climbed up the high wall, he lost his balance and fell down.
This time, under the exhaustion from breathing, Mu Touwu's body was not as nimble as last time. His broadsword was swung randomly, and he was still unable to stabilize himself, but his butt fell onto the ground. Under the intense pain, he let out a weird cry and fell to who knows where.
Mu Touwu didn't know that it was because of his strange cry that Shi Soong found the direction to chase up to him.
As Mu Touwu watched Shi Soong's figure rapidly flying through the air, he suddenly stopped due to a myriad of emotions.
After staring blankly for a while, Mu Touwu finally came to his senses: "Pah pah!" After spitting a few times, he thought to himself, "Why am I in a daze right now at this crucial moment?"
Immediately, it was "Ya!" again. With a loud shout, he stomped his feet hard to regain his consciousness, picked up his huge cloud blade and quickly ran towards the mouth of the alley.
Shi Soong arrived at the top of the alley after a few leaps. He looked around. Under the heavy rain, the alleyway was empty. When he looked, he only saw Blue-robed Youth walking rapidly against the wall.
Shi Soong's heart skipped a beat. He suddenly remembered that in his anxiousness, he forgot to ask Mu Touwu about that person's clothes. He had been chasing after a grey trench coat, and now that the trench coat was in his hands, that person had actually played with a golden cicada.
The first thing he saw in his Hee Mansion was a grey-blue figure. When he looked at the person in front of him again, Shi Soong suddenly understood.
It was this blue robed man in front of him who was also wearing the gray windbreaker in Shi Soong's hand, so when he rushed into the Hee Mansion room, Shi Soong accidentally saw a blurry, grey-blue figure through the rain curtain.
"It should be him!" Shi Soong felt reassured. Mu Touwu had already pointed that person out to the alley, and now that there was no one else around, he was even more certain of Shi Soong's judgement. Immediately, the anger in his heart flared up again.
These thoughts only lasted for an instant. Shi Soong, who had understood the whole situation, had flames in his eyes again. He suddenly borrowed some strength from the wall under his feet and quickly rushed towards Blue-robed Youth!
