When the seriously injured Ling Ying returned to Canaan Academy and met Xiao Xun'er, the girl suddenly had an ominous premonition in her heart.
"Ling Ying, what happened?"
Xiao Xun'er had lost her usual calm and elegance. Her pretty face was pale as she looked at Ling Ying and asked in a trembling voice.
"Miss, it's my subordinates who are not doing their job well! Young Master Xiao Yan has already..."
The girl's pretty face instantly lost all color.
"Who... is it?!"
Trying hard to suppress the pain in her heart, the murderous intent in Xiao Xun'er's eyes became more and more intense, until a golden flame suddenly appeared out of nowhere, making the entire mountain seem to be burning.
Ling Ying felt the powerful and burning energy erupting from the girl, his face changed color slightly, and then he said, "It's Medicine Emperor Han Feng!"
"Young lady should know that Young Master Xiao Yan has always been protected by a powerful mysterious soul body, and I have never been able to get close to him..."
"Until today, when Medicine Emperor Han Feng suddenly appeared, I learned that the mysterious soul body was actually the former number one alchemist on the continent, Medicine Venerable Yao Chen!"
"Many years ago, this Medicine Venerable suddenly disappeared, and the entire continent could not find any trace of him... What
is unexpected is that Yao Chen was actually killed by his disciple Han Feng in collusion with the Soul Palace...
This time, it was Han Feng who discovered the relationship between Young Master Xiao Yan and Yao Chen, and finally joined forces with a Dou Zong-level powerhouse from the Soul Palace to intercept and kill him...
Although I tried my best to stop Han Feng, I didn't expect that the other party had ambushed a killer in secret. When Han Feng and I were fighting, he directly assassinated Young Master Xiao Yan."
Ling Ying quickly and simply recounted the matter, and then looked at his young lady with some worry.
He was well aware of his young lady's feelings for Xiao Yan and feared she might do something irrational.
The Ancient Clan was powerful, but that wasn't the case here.
Among Xiao Xun'er's guards, Ling Ying himself was the strongest, an Eight-Star Dou Huang. In a place like the Jia Ma Empire, virtually no force could harm Xiao Xun'er.
But no one could have imagined that his young lady, a woman more noble than even the most noble of the world, would actually develop feelings for a member of the impoverished Xiao family...
Over the years, Xiao Xun'er had not only refused the clan's requests to return several times, but had even sent her strongest forces to their side...
If it weren't for the inherent strength of Canaan Academy, Xiao Xun'er's safety within the academy would be guaranteed, Ling Ying would never have left her side.
Now, not only had the Xiao family suffered a major tragedy, but Xiao Yan had also died in a place like the Black Horn Region for no apparent reason. Ling Ying worried that his young lady would be carried away and make an unwise decision.
However, it was clear that he was overthinking it.
Because Xiao Xun'er was much calmer than he had imagined.
The girl's clear eyes closed for a moment, and when they opened again, she was completely calm.
"Ling Ying, inform the clan. If you want me to return, I can. But they must send strong men to thoroughly investigate every person involved in Brother Xiao Yan's misfortune. Then, avenge him!"
The girl's tone was calm, but Ling Ying, who had been by her side for over a decade, could sense the pain in his young lady's heart.
With a slight sigh, Ling Ying nodded in agreement, then disappeared from the spot, preparing to inform the clan.
The moment Ling Ying disappeared, the tears she had long been holding back overflowed from the girl's eyes, slowly streaming down her fair cheeks...
"Brother Xiao Yan, don't worry. I will not let anyone who dares to cross you go... I will make everyone die with you!"
...
...
In the Black Horn Territory, outside a city hundreds of miles from Black Seal City.
Looking up at the three powerful characters on the city wall, Mo Tang raised his brows slightly.
"Rakshasa City? Is this the territory of the Rakshasa Sect?"
The Rakshasa Sect's leader, Su Mei, was a four-star Dou Huang-level expert, ranked eighth on the Black List. Her strength was slightly weaker than Fan Lao's.
However, as the only woman on the Black Horn Region's Black List, and capable of controlling such a large, first-rate force within the region, Su Mei was undoubtedly not to be underestimated.
In the original novel, she led the Rakshasa Sect's experts, along with Tie Wu, leader of the Mad Lion Gang, and Yingu Lao, leader of the Tianyin Sect, to accept Xiao Yan's invitation and participate in the operation to strangle the Yunlan Sect.
Although she wasn't given much attention, it was clear that she was a woman of both strength and wisdom.
Looking at the dense crowds entering the city, Mo Tang thought to himself, "That's good! A major city controlled by a first-rate force would be good for my recovery."
Only places like this could possibly provide a sufficient supply of high-grade healing elixirs.
For Mo Tang, recovering from his injuries and leaving this troubled place as quickly as possible were the most important things.
Perhaps it was just bad luck, but he had barely entered the city a few steps when he saw a group of black-clad warriors burst out from the end of the street. They rushed directly to the city gates and violently drove away everyone entering and leaving the city, sealing the gates!
"Oh my god! What's going on?"
Mo Tang stood in the crowd at a distance, watching the excitement with everyone else, wondering what was going on.
Of course, this was the Black Horn Territory, and such violent actions would undoubtedly inflame the hearts of many. Those
who managed to survive here were mostly desperate criminals. If you dared to do this to them, they would draw their knives!
Who cares who you are?
Suddenly, a fierce battle erupted within the city gates, and the black-clad warriors slaughtered those who dared to attack and stab with ease, leaving a river of blood!
Mo Tang was not surprised by the bloody scene.
As soon as those men appeared, Mo Tang had checked their strength on the system's mini-map.
A five-star Dou Ling led a group of powerful warriors, at least at the Grand Dou Master level. This elite force was no match for a ragtag group.
"Are these elite members of the Rakshasa Sect?"
Mo Tang was surprised.
Why would the Rakshasa Sect mobilize such a large force to block the city gates? Could something major have happened in the city?
At this thought, Mo Tang's expression darkened slightly.
Although this matter had nothing to do with him, if something unexpected really happened in the city, then his plan to recover in peace would be ruined.
"This is really bad luck!"
Mo Tang muttered a little unhappily, walking through the crowd towards a street.
Since he couldn't get out, he had to find a place to stay.
