Yang Feilong and Yang Pingtian did not leave that night but stayed, preparing to depart early the next morning.
Meanwhile, those gathering information outside the Murong family felt puzzled.
"What's going on? Why is there no movement after the Xiao family members entered?"
"Could they be negotiating peace?"
"Who knows."
When they saw Yang Feilong and Yang Pingtian leave the Murong family the next day,
many people were stunned.
"No way?"
"How could they be unharmed?"
"Where are the Xiao family members? Did they all die? Otherwise, Yang Feilong wouldn't have come out!"
"..."
Yang Feilong and Yang Pingtian left Yong'an City. This time, they did not bring Murong Qingxue and Murong Qiuyue. After all, who knew what would happen on their journey to the Li family in Zhongzhou? Yang Feilong even considered not bringing his father, Yang Pingtian, wanting to go alone, without too many considerations, and just charge forward. If it didn't work, he could simply leave.
Of course, to prevent any accidents, Yang Feilong specifically gave Yang Pingtian two random teleportation scrolls and a communication stone.
The random teleportation scrolls were for escape, and the communication stone in the spirit realm was equivalent to a 'telephone' in the mortal world.
After leaving Yong'an City, Yang Pingtian asked, "Are we going to the Xiao family next?"
"No need. The Xiao family lost four powerful Nascent Soul stage cultivators, and some Nascent Soul cultivators led teams to Zhongzhou. At most, one or two Nascent Soul stage experts remain to guard the family. Moreover, the Xiao family has many enemies. Once the news of the Xiao family's heavy losses spreads, they will be destroyed without us even lifting a finger. Of course, more importantly, destroying the Xiao family holds little significance," Yang Feilong said. "After all, most of the Xiao family's treasures are on those Nascent Soul stage experts. Furthermore, we can destroy the Xiao family whenever we want, but my mother's matter should be resolved as soon as possible."
Yang Feilong had gained considerable wealth from killing the Xiao family's ancestor and the other four Nascent Soul stage cultivators.
"En!" Yang Pingtian nodded. He had not seen his wife for over twenty years, and the urgency in his heart was palpable.
...
Wo Hu Mountain.
There was a manor here named Cang Jian Manor.
It had a good reputation.
But in reality, it was a den of vice.
One day, Fang Qingxue and Lin Qiaoxi, following the clues, discovered the true nature of Cang Jian Manor.
"Cang Jian Manor has such a good reputation, yet they engage in such depraved acts!" Lin Qiaoxi's face turned cold, and she transmitted her voice through gritted teeth, "Should we intervene and rescue those women?"
"Rescue? With what?" Fang Qingxue transmitted back somewhat impatiently. "We are both Golden Core stage cultivators, but Cang Jian Manor has many Nascent Soul stage cultivators guarding it. We should leave first and then make plans!"
"But for every day we delay rescue, more victims will suffer!" Lin Qiaoxi said unwillingly.
"If we try to rescue them now, we might become two more victims. Let's go. Our invisibility talismans won't last long, and if our presence is detected, it'll be over!" Fang Qingxue said helplessly. "Haven't you been bothered by all those suitors rejecting you? Why not use them as pawns to take down Cang Jian Manor?"
"Is that... is that appropriate?" Lin Qiaoxi hesitated. "I don't like them!"
"What's not appropriate about it? Aren't those people all self-proclaimed gentlemen? If they can't even take down this den of vice, Cang Jian Manor, which is engaged in such depravity, then you won't have any pressure refusing them in the future, will you?" Fang Qingxue said. "Alright, let's go!"
Initially, she had just wanted to show Lin Qiaoxi the world and do some good deeds by punishing evil. She had been like this in the mortal world, and it was the same in the spirit realm.
But who would have thought that Lin Qiaoxi, who was incredibly timid and hesitant at first, would suddenly become so bold?
The main reason was that Lin Qiaoxi had only seen beautiful things before and was unaware of the dangers in the world. Suddenly encountering so many tragedies and wicked deeds, her sense of justice exploded. Fang Qingxue had to hold her back, otherwise, Lin Qiaoxi would often dare to attack directly, like this time.
Previously, they had encountered many evil deeds, and they had charged in together. This was mainly because they were both Golden Core stage cultivators, with the former at the sixth level and the latter at the fourth. Their combined strength was considerable, and when facing weaker opponents, they could easily crush them. However, this time the opponents were not simple, and acting impulsively would be akin to throwing their lives away.
Therefore, Fang Qingxue had been constantly advising Lin Qiaoxi not to act impulsively.
"Okay, let's go!" Lin Qiaoxi took a few deep breaths and then nodded.
Although she was unwilling, after the initial impulsiveness, she had now calmed down.
Impulsivity is the devil!
A single misstep leads to eternal regret!
These phrases kept flashing in her mind, suppressing her urge to leap forward.
Seeing that Lin Qiaoxi had been persuaded, Fang Qingxue secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as they were preparing to withdraw,
suddenly, some people appeared all around them.
"Not good!" Fang Qingxue's expression changed drastically.
"Since the two young ladies have arrived, you might as well stay!" sneered one of them. On his eyelids, a talisman was affixed, a Qing Ming Talisman, capable of seeing through invisibility.
"You might as well stop hiding. Our manor lord discovered you long ago!" Another person, holding a talisman, let out a strange laugh and then threw a talisman towards Fang Qingxue and Lin Qiaoxi.
Whoosh!
The talisman ignited before it even got close. In the next moment, Fang Qingxue and Lin Qiaoxi's figures were revealed.
The invisibility talisman was broken!
Invisibility talismans were not foolproof. Although they had tried their best to conceal their auras, they were still detected by the manor lord of Cang Jian Manor. Although the manor lord did not appear, the people surrounding the two women were all no lower than the Golden Core stage, with some of the stronger ones even reaching the Nascent Soul stage.
At this moment, Lin Qiaoxi panicked. With so many powerful cultivators surrounding them, what should they do!
"Go!" Fang Qingxue took out an item and placed it in Lin Qiaoxi's hand, transmitting, "This is a random teleportation scroll, a life-saving item given to me by my clan. Quickly activate it and escape!"
"If I escape, what about you?" Lin Qiaoxi asked in alarm.
"Hurry and go, don't waste any more time!" Fang Qingxue yelled at Lin Qiaoxi, who was still asking such questions. "I still have a random teleportation scroll."
As she spoke, another talisman appeared in Fang Qingxue's hand.
Seeing that Fang Qingxue also had a talisman, Lin Qiaoxi's heart filled with joy. This way, they could both escape.
However, the moment she activated it, she discovered that the talisman in Fang Qingxue's hand had also been activated, but it was not a random teleportation scroll; it was an attack talisman.
"Qingxue jie, you lied to me!" Lin Qiaoxi's tears streamed down her face.
"Go quickly!" Fang Qingxue's roar sounded. "Don't let me die with regrets!"
In the next moment, she charged towards the crowd like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!
Clearly, Fang Qingxue was prepared to die.
Because random teleportation scrolls were extremely difficult to refine, she only had one such talisman. But if she escaped, what would happen to Lin Qiaoxi? She had brought Lin Qiaoxi out herself, and she would rather die than watch Lin Qiaoxi die.
