In the pitch-black night sky, the silver moon hung high in the sky. The faint moonlight draped a layer of silver gauze over the ground, making it look exceptionally mysterious.
After Bai Yue's ruckus, Wu Tan City fell into darkness and silence. Occasionally, the gasps of men and the suppressed moans of women could be heard from the houses on the streets.
In a room in the backyard of the Xiao clan, a young man was lying on his bed. His dark black eyes, which were the same color as the night sky, were currently filled with a cold glint.
"Teacher, in your current state, what is the limit of your strength?”Xiao Yan was quiet for a moment before he suddenly asked in a soft voice.
"What's wrong?" A random question was emitted from the dark-black ring on his finger. A moment later, Yao Lao vaguely said,"Although I am only in a spiritual state now, it should not be a problem to deal with some small fish like Da Dou Shi or Dou Ling by relying on the 'Heavenly Flame'.”
Xiao Yan's face was slightly happy when he heard this. A chill flashed across his eyes.
"You want to kill that kid during the day?”Yao Lao asked with some surprise when he saw Xiao Yan's manner.
"Jia Lie Ao isn't worth my effort.”Xiao Yan smiled and softly said,"The two months are almost up. I've lost some of my patience to continue wasting time with the Jia Lie Clan. Therefore, I want to secretly get rid of that alchemist called Liu Xi. Once that alchemist dies, the Jia Lie Clan, which has no source of healing medicine, will lose its remaining market. At that time, even if the clan can still survive, its power will plummet and it will no longer be able to pose a threat to the Xiao Clan.”
"Oh, is it really because you lost your patience? With your surname, you don't seem like an impetuous person.”After being silent for a moment, Yao Lao's teasing voice was emitted from within the ring,"Looks like you really care a lot about that girl called Xun Er. That fellow merely acted a little lewd and you bore a grudge against her. She is really a child who loves to be jealous.”
Hearing this, Xiao Yan's face turned slightly hot. Having his thoughts exposed, he immediately became a little angry from embarrassment,"Are you kidding me? I don't have much time left. How can I keep playing with them? Even if I didn't meet that guy today, I would have started to use some other methods.”
"Alright, alright, it has nothing to do with that girl…" Seeing Xiao Yan's manner, Yao Lao laughed loudly a few times. The teasing in his laughter caused Xiao Yan to helplessly roll his eyes.
"Since you want to make a move, then let's move. I'm in a soul state, so I need to borrow your hand.”Yao Lao laughed after stopping his teasing.
Hurriedly nodding his head, Xiao Yan swiftly jumped off the bed and took out a dark red storage ring from his bosom. After which, he took out a large dark-black cloak that he had prepared earlier and put it on his body with great familiarity. Immediately, the thin young man turned into a bloated mysterious black-robed person.
"Let's go. You don't have to do anything. I'll control your body. With my soul wrapped around you, you don't have to worry about being identified by your aura.”Yao Lao smiled and reminded Xiao Yan when he saw that Xiao Yan had finished his preparations.
"Yes." Nodding his head, Xiao Yan gently walked to the window. He looked around like a thief before jumping out. His body descended from the air and an unknown powerful force was emitted from the ring on his finger.
An unknown strength swiftly wrapped around Xiao Yan's entire body. Immediately, his rapidly descending body suddenly suspended in midair. His feet gently pressed on a roof and his dark-black body quietly rushed out of the Xiao clan like an eagle hiding in the darkness. Finally, he disappeared into the dark night.
It was a dark and windy night, a good time to kill.
……
Jia Lie Clan.
"Can Mister Liu Xi really refine other pills?”In the brightly lit hall, Jia Lie Bi, who was originally in an extremely gloomy mood, was first startled when he heard Liu Xi's proud voice in front of him. Immediately after, he was overjoyed as he asked.
Extremely satisfied with Jia Lie Bi's pleasantly surprised appearance, Liu Xi picked up the teacup beside him and took a sip. The expression on his face was rather proud: "Other than healing medicine, I can also refine a medicinal pill that is extremely suitable for mercenaries. The medicinal pill is called the Power Storage Pill. It can increase the strength of the person who consumes it by about 10% within a short period of time.”
Hearing this, the joy on Jia Lie Bi's face grew even more. If he could really refine a pill with such a special medicinal effect, then the Jia Lie Clan would be able to use this as an advertisement and pull back a lot of popularity. In the end, they might even be able to suppress the Xiao Clan once again.
"However, this kind of power storage pill cannot be refined on a large scale like healing medicine. With my strength, I'm afraid I can only refine about twenty pills a day.”Liu Xi said somewhat regretfully.
"Hehe, 20 pills it is. We can make it look like an auction. The highest bidder wins. After all, healing medicine is the main thing. We're just relying on this thing to pull back our popularity.”Jia Lie Bi waved his hand and smiled.
"Heh, Jia Lie Clan Leader, I am indeed capable of concocting this Power Storage Pill. However, according to our agreement, I am only responsible for concocting healing medicine, right?”Seeing that Jia Lie Bi's thoughts had been stirred by the Power Storage Pill, Liu Xi's eyes turned and he suddenly laughed.
His expression changed slightly. The cunning Jia Lie Bi knew what this fellow was planning. However, at this moment, he could only laugh dryly and ask: "Then what does Mister Liu Xi mean?"
"Haha, don't worry. I know the current situation of the Jia Lie Clan, so I won't ask for too much.”Looking at Jia Lie Bi, who had let out a sigh of relief, a silver smile flashed across Liu Xi's eyes: "This one only wishes to ask Clan Leader Jia Lie to help me bring that girl called Xiao Xun Er over.”
The smile on his face had yet to be revealed when it suddenly stiffened. Jia Lie Bi's eyes twitched. He did not expect that this lustful fellow would actually directly target the Xiao clan.
"Mr. Liu Xi, if our Jia Lie Clan were to make a move against the Xiao Clan, then Xiao Zhan would have an excuse to declare war on our Jia Lie Clan. At that time, I'm afraid it would no longer be an economic showdown, but a real war…"
Liu Xi flicked his fingers on the table and chuckled,""These are not my concern. Regardless of whether you want to snatch her or drag her away, I only want the result. As long as you can get her here, I will start refining the Energy-storing Pills at any time.”
The corners of his eyes twitched once more. Even though Jia Lie Bi was furious, he could only force a smile and say: "Can I think about it? Can I give you an answer tomorrow?"
"Heh heh, that's good. Patriarch, please think about it. Before you leave, I'll say something. Actually, the current Jia Lie Clan and Xiao Clan are already like fire and water, so why should we be afraid of such a grudge?”Liu Xi laughed sinisterly. He stood up, patted his butt, and swaggered out of the hall. After which, he quickly walked towards his room in the backyard. Today, the desire in his heart had been stirred by that green lotus-like refined young lady. The current him really wanted to quickly find a young and beautiful maid to vent his anger.
Gazing at Liu Xi who had disappeared around the corner, Jia Lie Bi's face was gloomy. After a long while, he let out a long breath and said in a dense voice,"This bastard whose mind is full of women will die on women sooner or later.”
……
In a room in the rear courtyard, Xiao Yan's face was completely red as he looked at the pretty lady who had been knocked unconscious on the bed. The lady only had a thin bath veil draped over her body, revealing a large part of her alluring snow-white body.
"That guy is back." Yao Lao's soft voice within the ring caused Xiao Yan to swiftly shrink into a hidden corner. His eyes passed through the tiny gap and absorbed everything within the room.
Creak…The wooden door was slowly pushed open. Liu Xi's signature silver laughter immediately sounded in the room."Haha, baby, I'm back. Prepare to be ravaged tonight.”
"There's such a scum in this world. Teacher, prepare to attack.”Xiao Yan shook his head and spoke in his heart.
"Okay…wait, there's an accident!" Yao Lao's urgent cry caused Xiao Yan's heart to suddenly tighten before he could finish saying the word 'good'.
A cold sweat formed on Xiao Yan's forehead from Yao Lao's shout. His body stood on the spot, not daring to move.
"Left!" Yao Lao's soft voice was once again emitted from his heart.
Hearing the reminder, Xiao Yan slowly turned his head and threw his gaze toward the window on the left side of the room. His eyes suddenly shrank…
The originally tightly shut window had already been opened at some unknown time. Faint moonlight scattered in. At this moment, a young lady in a golden dress was strangely seated on the edge of the window, which was empty a moment ago. Under the golden dress, a pair of jade-like round and snow-white calves drew an alluring arc in the air.
The moonlight shone on the girl's delicate face, making her look like a goddess in the moonlight, beautiful and mysterious.
Xiao Yan muttered a name in shock as he eyed the young lady who had unknowingly appeared in this place.
"Xun…Xun Er?"
………………………………………………………………
Xiao Yan was stunned as he watched the young lady who had appeared by the window like a ghost. A long while later, he muttered in a surprised voice,"What is she doing here?"
"Hehe, from the looks of it, she seems to have the same goal as you.”Yao Lao inexplicably laughed softly.
Xiao Yan frowned slightly. He completely withdrew his body into the shadows and immediately asked in his heart with some hesitation,"Xun Er's strength…how did it become so powerful? Looking at the speed at which she had appeared earlier, it was likely that she would not be weaker than a Da Dou Shi, right?”
"Her true strength is indeed what you have seen. However, the current her has clearly used a secret technique to increase her strength for a period of time. With her status and background, it is not strange for her to possess such a mysterious secret technique.”Yao Lao faintly smiled and said.
Xiao Yan was slightly stunned when he heard this. He immediately laughed bitterly. His heart once again sighed helplessly at Xun Er's mysterious background. He shook his head and ceased speaking. His gaze passed through the curtain in front of him and observed the somewhat strange room.
Xun Er, who had appeared in a ghost-like manner within the room, did not attract Liu Xi's attention. At this moment, this fellow, whose head had been blinded by desire, was staring at the beautiful lady on the bed, who was revealing her naked body. His hands were frantically pulling at the clothes on his body.
At a certain moment, Liu Xi's hand, which was pulling his clothes, suddenly stiffened. Being a six star Dou Zhe, he finally sensed that something was amiss. He hesitated for a moment before slowly turning his neck and throwing his gaze onto the widely opened window.
A golden-robed young lady was lazily leaning against the window. Her eyes contained a golden flame as she indifferently watched the man in the room, whose clothes were in disarray. The golden flame on her hand was like a fairy as it danced in a demonic trajectory.
Liu Xi stared blankly at the young lady who was bathed in the moonlight. His slowly moving gaze paused on that indifferent and exquisite small face. A drunkenness involuntarily surfaced in his eyes. Even though the atmosphere was not right at the moment, Liu Xi could not help but be a little absent-minded when faced with the young lady's almost flawless appearance and ethereal temperament.
However, after a moment of absent-mindedness, Liu Xi abruptly turned around. His feet heavily tapped on the ground, and his body was like an arrow that had left the bow as he frantically rushed towards the door. Under this strange atmosphere, a cold feeling of impending death finally extinguished his desire. Although Liu Xi was arrogant, he did not really think that this young lady who had appeared strangely at this moment would come specially to have a heart-to-heart talk with him.
Although the room was spacious, with Liu Xi's speed, it only took him a few seconds to reach the door from the bed. Looking at the wooden door that was just inches away, a hint of joy flashed in Liu Xi's eyes. As long as he left the room, he would be able to shout loudly. At that time, Jia Lie Bi, who heard the cry for help, would immediately rush over to rescue him.
However, just as Liu Xi was about to make contact with the door, his legs suddenly felt a pain. His swiftly running body immediately tilted and fell. Finally, he violently smashed onto the ground. A few teeth were spat out by Liu Xi along with fresh blood.
He lowered his head with a face full of fear, only to see that two fist-sized bloody holes had unknowingly appeared on his legs. The edges of the bloody holes were charred black, and a faint charred smell was emitted.
"Someone, someone wants to assassinate me!”
The intense pain in his leg almost made Liu Xi faint. However, he gritted his teeth and endured it, opening his mouth and shouting with all his might.
"There's no need to shout. The room is enveloped by my aura. No one can hear me.”The young lady on the window edge spoke in a faint voice. She flicked her delicate finger and a golden flame thorn agglomerated on her fingertip. It seemed that the injury on Liu Xi's leg was caused by this thing.
"You…What do you want? What do you want? Money? Pills? I'll give you anything as long as you let me go!”Liu Xi looked at the young girl in horror. His face was pale. The threat of death finally suppressed his desire for beauty.
The young lady glanced indifferently at Liu Xi, who was wriggling on the ground. She leaped down from the windowsill and slowly walked towards him.
Eyeing Xun Er who had jumped down from the window, Xiao Yan finally discovered that Xun Er's black hair, which originally only reached her waist, was now all the way down to her delicate buttocks. Clearly, this should be caused by the so-called Secret Technique.
In a spacious room, a young lady wearing a golden dress that symbolized nobility walked indifferently towards Liu Xi, who was continuously wailing on the ground. When she arrived in front of him, she paused her footsteps and lowered her head. Suddenly, she gently smiled. The smile that appeared in that instant caused Liu Xi's heart to violently jump.
"Didn't you want to get someone to capture me?”Slowly squatting down, Xun Er's light voice contained a faint coldness.
Liu Xi swallowed a mouthful of saliva. The cold sweat on his face had almost drenched his entire face due to fear.
" I actually hate killing people…" Xun Er suddenly sighed softly as she looked at the terrified Liu Xi.
A hint of hope flashed across Liu Xi's eyes when he heard this. However, before he could beg for mercy, the young lady's face that had suddenly turned cold sent him into the abyss of despair.
"Actually, I don't mind some meaningless gazes, but why did you insult him? What right do you have to insult him? Although he might not care about trash like you, I can't! I really can't!" As the young lady's tone suddenly became cold, the golden flame spike on her delicate finger suddenly left her hand. Finally, it transformed into a golden lightning bolt that ruthlessly pierced into Liu Xi's chest. Immediately, a bloody hole swiftly appeared.
Liu Xi's eyes suddenly shrunk after suffering a fatal blow. His pale face slowly turned gray. His slightly protruding eyeballs appeared extremely terrifying.
Xun Er indifferently glanced at the corpse that was gradually losing its life force. She stood up and sighed softly. Her cold and indifferent small face revealed a helplessness as she softly muttered,"If I was not afraid that Xiao Yan ge-ge would blame me for being nosy, this Wu Tan City would have long lost the Jia Lie Clan. There would not be so many troublesome matters…"
Xun Er shook her head gently. Her eyes randomly swept over the room. Her body moved slightly and she was already in front of the window when she appeared again. Her lovely body leaped and disappeared into the night.
"Tsk tsk, this girl looks gentle and pleasant. I didn't expect that she would be so straightforward when she really wants to kill someone. Hehe, it seems that you have picked up a treasure this time.”Not long after Xun Er disappeared, Yao Lao's teasing voice sounded in Xiao Yan's heart.
Xiao Yan's expression was a little pale. After all, this was the first time he had seen someone die in front of him. He forced a smile and said,"It seems like I came for nothing tonight.”
"Hehe, that might not be the case. Although that girl is merciless, she is still too young and inexperienced.”Yao Lao faintly smiled and said.
Xiao Yan was startled when he heard this. He asked in a stunned manner,"What do you mean?"
" We'll see…" Yao Lao smiled mysteriously. He immediately fell silent.
Xiao Yan could only helplessly shake his head when he saw Yao Lao's manner. He continued to shrink his body into the darkness as his gaze focused on every single action within the room.
In the slightly dark room, other than the faint breathing of the maid on the bed, it was silent.
Xiao Yan quietly waited for another ten plus minutes. Just as he began to frown, his eyes, which occasionally drifted over Liu Xi's corpse, shrunk slightly.
Liu Xi, who had originally lost his life force, moved his hand in an undetectable manner. A moment later, his tightly shut eyes slowly opened. The gloominess on his face had also disappeared.
" Hiss…" Looking at the bloody hole on his chest, Liu Xi inhaled a breath of cold air. His eyes were filled with hatred,""Damned woman, if I hadn't stolen a 'Turtle Breathing Pill' from my teacher before I left, I would have died here today.”
Liu Xi extended his hand with great difficulty and took out a small jade bottle from his chest. He carefully poured some white powder onto his wound. After which, he once again took out a pale-green medicinal pill and swallowed it without any hesitation. After completing these slight actions, Liu Xi's expression once again became a little paler.
"I'm afraid that I'll need half a year to fully recover from this serious injury. Tomorrow, I'll get the Jia Lie Clan to send me back and invite Teacher over. As long as Teacher helps, the Xiao Clan will definitely not have a good time.”Liu Xi ferociously clenched his teeth. His pale face was filled with hatred.
" I'm sorry to disturb you. You might not have the chance to return…" Just as Liu Xi was imagining the miserable state of the noble young lady being ravaged by him, a faint laughter suddenly sounded in the room.
The sudden voice caused Liu Xi's body to stiffen. His expression changed drastically as he turned his head around with great difficulty.
A figure covered in a black robe slowly walked out from the shadows.
"What a careless girl. It seems that I still need to take care of some funeral matters.”A young man's laughter came from under the black robe. He stretched out his hand and a strange white flame slowly appeared.
"Heavenly Flame?" Liu Xi's pupils shrunk as he involuntarily cried out in shock when he saw this cluster of strange thick white flame.
"Congratulations, you got it right. There's a prize.”
With a smile, the black-robed person waved his hand. A thick white flame immediately left his hand. Just as it was about to cover Liu Xi, Yao Lao's expression suddenly changed. The thick white flame immediately disappeared. However, it still struck Liu Xi's legs.
" Ah!!!!" A tragic scream resounded throughout the entire Jia Lie Clan.
"Crap, this is bad!" Xiao Yan's face immediately turned pale.
