Chapter 77 A slap landed on the wall, and it was so stuck that it couldn't be scraped off.

  Nangong Jin naturally denied knowing the Temple Envoy and urged Zhuge Mingyue to go eat at the Qilin Wine House.

  "It's not even noon yet, what's the hurry?" Zhuge Mingyue said irritably. They had just eaten a steamer of soup dumplings for breakfast and now they were going to have lunch? It was at least two hours before noon.

  "Isn't the Crystal Banquet by reservation only? Let's go make a reservation first. Then take me for a stroll around the capital, okay?" Nangong Jin said with a smile, his eyebrows and eyes curved like a cunning fox.

  Zhuge Mingyue looked at Nangong Jin's demonic smile and really wanted to slap him.

  The two went to Qilin Hotel and booked a Crystal Suite in advance. Zhuge Mingyue really felt heartache. Money, it's all about money!

  What made Zhuge Mingyue's heart ache was yet to come. Nangong Jin wanted Zhuge Mingyue to go shopping at the jade antique store! The most expensive and best Baibaozhai in the entire capital city! Zhuge Mingyue looked at Nangong Jin with a dark face as he selected white jade hairpins for his hair, jade pendants for his waist, and every other decorative item that men could use. One after another was placed into ebony boxes, causing the boss to laugh so hard his teeth were about to fall out. With such a large transaction, they wouldn't need to open their doors for business for an entire year!

  "That's enough." Zhuge Mingyue glared at Nangong Jin, "I'm very poor."

  "You're lying, kitty! I know that the first casino in Nanchu Country lost everything to you!" Nan Gong Jin said with great pleasure. "And, since I helped you silence them, you should thank me too!"

  Zhuge Mingyue coldly gazed at Nangong Jin, this clean freak investigated really thoroughly. What a detestable guy, always bringing up Qin Hongyun's matter.

  After buying things, Zhuge Mingyue asked the boss to deliver the goods to her own mansion and then took Nangong Jin to eat at Qilin Wine House. The crystal full set, with a rich flavor and aroma, had a total of 88 dishes, which made people's eyes dazzle. During dinner, Zhuge Mingyue really wanted to slap Nangong Jin against the wall, and even scratching couldn't get him down! Because this bastard only ate three bites of each dish! His dining movements were very elegant, and people enjoyed watching. However, this dining habit was enough to make people want to beat him up! One dish, only three bites, what a concept? Wasteful, greatly wasteful. Although Zhuge Mingyue didn't lack money, her idea had always been to consume but not waste.

  This meal was almost finished with clenched teeth, Zhuge Mingyue looked at the remaining dishes and waved her hand to let the waiter give them to the beggars on the street. Anyway, can't waste it.

  "You're really kind." Nangong Jin's mouth curled up in a charming smile, still cool and sarcastic.

  "I'm not being kind, I just don't want to waste it, that's all. If I could finish it myself, I would. The problem is I couldn't eat it all." Zhuge Mingyue said with a bad tone, and then immediately emphasized, "This is the last time we're wasting food like this. Next time if you order so much that you can't finish, you pay for it yourself."

  "Alright, alright." Nangong Jin shrugged helplessly, "So, what's your plan next?"

  "Go back to sleep." Zhuge Mingyue replied lazily, "In two days, I'll have to go to college for classes. Although it won't be long before the holiday starts, I still need to go to college."

  "I'll go take a bath then." said Nan Gong Jin resolutely.

  Zhuge Mingyue rolled her eyes, this cleanliness freak takes a bath three times a day, isn't afraid of washing off her skin.

  Returning to the mansion, facing the worried gazes of Ling Feiyang and the others, Zhuge Mingyue lightly shook her head, indicating that she was fine. Nangong Jin didn't even glance at them, directly heading upstairs, and before going up, he also instructed the steward to have hot water brought up.

  When Zhuge Mingyue and they arrived at Tianfeng College, they were shocked by the scene in front of them.

  So many people, what's going on? The entrance is like a market, it's not an exaggeration at all. At the door, Yue Lao smiled with his eyes narrowed into a line, shouting loudly: "Queue up, queue up first, and then come in one by one. Those who pass the assessment can become students of our Tianfeng Academy, don't rush, come one by one."

  As soon as they arrived at the gate, a commotion ensued.

  "It's Zhuge Mingyue! She's indeed very beautiful."

  "Ah, my Flying is still so handsome!"

  Xue Zihao is also very handsome.

  "Wan Xi Zhenye is great too, it's a big family in Cang Feng City."

  Wan Qi Chen is fat.

  "He's just a little bit chubby, what's wrong with that? Besides, what's wrong with a man being a bit sturdy?"

  Zhuge Mingyue and his group heard these words, their minds went blank. They also understood why there were so many people at the entrance of Tianfeng Academy, all wanting to enroll. The reason was naturally because of them. The champion team of this year's Chenlong Competition, five people, four of whom were from Tianfeng Academy. The previously unknown Tianfeng Academy made a big name for itself this time, and many people came to admire its reputation, hoping to enter the academy.

  "It seems that we need to find a way to recruit more teachers." Wen Yi stood at the door, looking at the sea of people, feeling somewhat helpless. Not long ago, he was worried about recruiting students, and now he had to worry about not having enough teachers. Old Yue was right, the college's teaching building was too small!

  Despite the strict school rules of Tianfeng Academy, people's enthusiasm cannot be stopped. The crowd of people coming to sign up is endless. Zhuge Mingyue and his group had already known that Tianfeng Academy used to have only four teachers: one was a mysterious Saint-level swordsman named Yue Bohan, but everyone called him Old Yue; one was Wen Yi; another was a teacher who specialized in archery, named Zhao Jingqing, who should have Soul-level strength according to Xue Zihao's evaluation; and there was also a Soul-level swordsman over 50 years old, named He Xiuyi. Later, Liang Rouyun was added. This time, Wen Yi had to think of ways to recruit teachers.

  However, these were not what Zhuge Mingyue and others were worried about.

  At the same time, in another place of Danling Country, something else happened.

  Dan Ling Country, Autumn Leaf City, in an ancient and gloomy old mansion, a middle-aged man with a sinister face sat upright at the top of the hall, looking down at the twelve men and women standing in rows below him. His gaze was stern and sharp, like that of an emperor inspecting his kingdom. He was Xiang Ding Tian, the master of Blood Wind Gate.

  In the middle of the hall, Xiao Ding was half-kneeling on the ground with a messy head of hair. His pale face had no blood color at all, and the blood that had seeped out from the bandages wrapped around his shoulders to his chest had already coagulated into a dark brown patch, shocking to behold.

  "You said, Beast Tooth and his team are all dead?" Xiang Ding Tian's voice was calm and indifferent, but it made Xiao Ding feel a deep sense of fear. The death of others didn't matter, but Beast Tooth had his Wolf God, which held special significance for Blood Wind. Without the Wolf God's unparalleled keen sense of smell, the difficulty of many missions would increase greatly.

  "Yes, they're all dead. Only I managed to escape." Little Ding couldn't help but tremble. He also knew the importance of Beast Tooth in Blood Wind, so every time they fought, he would be arranged at the back of the team. If there was a chance to escape from danger, it would be given to him first. But this time, no one expected the opponent's strength to be so strong.

  "Who is he?" Xiang Dingtian asked.

  "I've investigated, there are five of them in total. The one who took action is called Ling Feiyang, a young master from the Ling family of the capital. Another swordsman is called Changsun Ninghao, a disciple of the national sword saint Qing. There's also one named Zhuge Mingyue, a young master from the Zhuge family of the capital. The summoner and archer are from the Wanqi family of Cangfeng City." Little Ding replied.

  After getting injured, he didn't rush to escape from the capital of Southern Chu Kingdom. Instead, he investigated the background of Zhuge Mingyue and others before hurrying back to Xuefeng's old nest. Xuefeng has always been vengeful, if he hadn't even figured out his opponents' backgrounds before escaping, his fate would definitely be a dead end, or worse than death. His luck wasn't bad, Zhuge Mingyue and others were currently famous in the capital of Southern Chu Kingdom, so it was easy to gather information about them.

  "Qing sir, Ling family, Zhuge family..." Xiang Dingtian said with a frown, the various hall masters of the Blood Wind who were standing on both sides of the main hall couldn't help but take a cold breath, and at the same time glared at Xiao Ding. How could he not investigate clearly before taking action, provoking these several major powers? This vendetta won't be easy to repay.

  "Didn't Xiao Tangzhu disappear last time and end up with the master of Wu's family in Cang Feng City?" asked Xiang Dingtian.

  "Yes, the master of Wu's family in Cangfeng City is named Wu Kaiyuan, a spiritual archer." Little Ding replied. In fact, whether Xiao Qianhe was dead or alive had not been confirmed yet, and no one dared to confirm whether he really died together or escaped with treasure, but since the master asked like this, Little Ding could only answer like this.

  "Hmph, Cang Feng City, the last account hasn't been settled with them yet. Now even a small family like Wan Qi dares to provoke us? This grudge cannot be left unavenged! This time, let's destroy both the Wu and Wan Qi families together. As for the other few families, let them have a few days of peace for now, but our Blood Wind will never let them live in tranquility!" Xiang Ding Tian said in a deep voice.

  After hearing this, the twelve hall masters below put down their minds. Although they said that the blood wind must be reported, they also had to look at the situation. Directly against the two major families of the upper capital city, good luck would result in both sides being injured, and bad luck would even make Blood Wind enter the tower. They were really afraid that the hall master would suddenly become hot-headed. As for the small Cang Feng City, the Wu family and the Wan Qi family were not even taken seriously by them.

  "Xiang Nan Tian, immediately gather the brothers in the hall and wipe out the Wu family of Cang Feng City, leaving no one alive. Avenge Xiang Tang Zhu and Shou Ya for them." Xiang Ding Tian looked at the twelve hall masters below him.

  "It's Master Men." A tall and slender young man below showed a delighted expression.

  Xiao Ding finally understood why the master of the door had to drag Wu's family into this. The other masters also suddenly realized it. This young man named Xiang Nan Tian was Xiang Ding Tian's biological younger brother, and after Xiao Qian He went missing, he took over as the master of that hall, but his seniority was insufficient to convince the crowd. This time, Xiang Ding Tian obviously used this opportunity to let him avenge Xiao Qian He and help him stabilize his position.

  Xiang Nan Tian quickly stepped out of the door and issued an order to gather all the people in the hall.

  "Xiao Ding, do you know your mistake this time?" In the great hall above, Iteming Tian's eyes flashed with cold light.

  "I was wrong, I know my mistake, and I am willing to accept the punishment." Xiaoding gritted his teeth and raised his head, he had known that he had seriously failed in this mission, causing several brothers including Beast Tooth to lose their lives. He knew he would definitely be severely punished when he returned, and he had already prepared himself mentally.

  "Alright, considering your contributions to us over the years and the sacrifices you've made, I'll let you off with a warning this time. You can make up for it after you recover from your injuries." Jing Tian said lightly.

  "Thank you, Master." Little Ding drew his long sword and cut off his own left arm with one slash, but he didn't make a sound, biting his teeth tightly. He walked out of the hall with stumbling steps. The Blood Wind people were all cold-blooded and ruthless, cruel to others and even more merciless to themselves.

  Ten days later, dozens of men and women in different attire blended into Cangfeng City with various identities. Under the hem of each person's clothes, a small wind character was embroidered with crimson silk thread.

  Blood Wind, this mysterious organization notorious for its meticulous planning and ruthless means, unfolded their revenge action.

  At night, the city of Cang Feng was quiet, after all, it wasn't a bustling metropolis. Once the sky darkened, except for a few entertainment venues, there were hardly any pedestrians on the streets, and ordinary people had long since returned home to their warm beds. In contrast, within the Wu Manor, it was a lively scene of music and dance.

  "Si Ming, brother, please!" Wu Tianfeng raised his wine cup with one hand and said to the young man opposite him. The severed arm was hidden under his clothes, wearing a specially made iron prosthesis.

  "Cheers!" The young man opposite him raised his wine glass and drank it all in one gulp, his eyes lingering on the geisha dancing in the garden, reluctant to move away.

  He was called Wei Si Ming, the only son of Wei Hong Jun, the lord of Cang Feng City. Since Wu Kai Yuan's death, the Wu family, one of the three major families in Cang Feng City, had been brutally suppressed by the Pang family, and their former allies had become enemies overnight. The Wu family was originally weak, and after Wu Kai Yuan's death, there was no longer anyone who could control the situation, and they were almost driven out of Cang Feng City. Wu Tian Feng saw that things were not going well and tried every means to get in touch with Wei Si Ming, relying on the lord's mediation to avoid being completely annihilated.

  Today, I heard that several stunning geishas have arrived in the city. Wu Tianfeng gritted his teeth and spent his last bit of family savings to buy them into the mansion, wanting to win over Wei Si Ming's favor so he could help him retrieve the Wu family's original properties. He no longer had any chance of competing with the Pang and Wan families for dominance; all he wanted was to maintain this small family business, as relying on his inheritance would not last forever.

  "Brother Siming, what about the silk store and tea shop I mentioned to you earlier? What do you think?" Wu Tianfeng asked with a smile, very politely.

  "This matter will be discussed later, let's just talk about the beautiful scenery today, haha." Weisi Ming was too busy flirting with the plump and charming geisha to pay attention to him.

  "That's it, that's it, it's getting late too, I'll take my leave first, these few dancers will stay to serve Brother Siming, but you must be kind to them, haha." Wu Tianfeng laughed dryly a few times and stood up.

  "Alright, let's go all out! Let's go all out!" In Wei Si Ming's eyes, a light that men understand flashed.

  "Enjoy yourselves? I'm afraid you won't have that chance anymore!" A tall and slender figure suddenly appeared in the garden, it was Xiang Nan Tian.

  "Who is it?" Wei Si Ming was startled. The city master's guard, who had been standing by, hastily rushed forward to stand beside Wei Si Ming.

  "The one who wants your life." Xiang Nan Tian smiled gloomily.

  "You want my life, do you know who I am?" Wei Si Ming saw that the other party was alone and felt a sense of relief, laughing loudly. In Cang Feng City, there were only a few people who dared to speak to him like this, and they had all gone to the capital city.

  "Of course, you are the one who is going to die!" Xiang Nan Tian's face sank, and he raised his hand to give a fierce order, "Kill them all, not a single one left!" The people from the Wu family were bound to be deeply connected with the Wu family, so it was only natural to kill them together. However, he never expected that this decision would push him and Xue Feng into an abyss of no return!

  Wei Si Ming was stunned, and as Xiang Nan Tian's voice fell, dozens of members of the Blood Wind gang emerged from various corners, wielding knives and swords to kill the Wu family. A servant who was carrying a tray of pastries into the courtyard was cut in half by a single knife, and fresh blood splattered everywhere.

  "My goodness, is this for real?" Witnessing this scene, Wei Si Ming's face suddenly turned pale, having been pampered and spoiled all his life, he had never seen such a situation before. He was so shocked that he almost threw up on the spot.

  "Master, let's go." Several guards realized that the newcomer was not an ordinary thief, but a ruthless killer, and they hastily stood in front of Wei Si Ming, ready to escort him away.

  "Ah……" Suddenly, a miserable cry came from behind Wei Si Ming, but it was cut off halfway. Turning back, only to see that a blood arrow had burst out of Wei Si Ming's throat, and the plump dancer who had been flirting with him just now was holding a thin sword as thin as a cicada wing in her hand, with drops of blood dripping down from the blade.

  Wei Si Ming stared with wide eyes at the dancer who still wore a charming smile, never closing his eyes until death.

  Several guards were shocked and lost their color, the only son of the city master died in front of them, how could they explain it when they went back? Several people looked at each other, seeing the despair in each other's eyes, gritted their teeth, and attacked Xiang Nan Tian, but were blocked by several members of the Blood Wind.

  Wu Tianfeng was also frightened, his mind went blank for a moment. Having experienced a drastic change once before, his psychological endurance and adaptability were much stronger than Wei Siming's. Seeing the situation was not good, he ran towards the outside of the garden. Just as he took two steps, Xiang Nantian's tall and thin figure blocked his way.

  "What kind of people are you?" Wu Tianfeng's words were not yet finished, when he felt a chill on the back of his neck, and a burst of crimson suddenly blurred his vision, the rest of his words unable to be spoken.

  Nan Xiangtian sheathed his long sword and glanced at the iron-plated broken arm, then turned to charge towards the others.

  Flames shot up into the sky, and the mournful cries of agony echoed through the night air.

  Several of the city lord's guards were not weak, but Blood Wind's men were all ruthless killers with blood-stained hands. In just a few minutes, several guards fell to the ground, and Blood Wind's men descended upon the Wu family like hungry wolves attacking a flock of sheep, unleashing a massacre.

  Flames shot up to the sky, amidst the mournful and shrill cries, the Wu family was reduced to a pile of ashes, except for a few quick-witted servants who had escaped from the Wu family early on, not a single person survived.

  Under the illumination of the raging flames, Xiang Nan Tian led his men to rush towards the Wan Kui family's residence at full gallop. On the charred and broken wall behind him, a "wind" character was left, written in fresh blood.

  Not long after the Blood Wind people left, a guard crawled out from among the bodies, clutching his wound and stumbling as he ran towards the City Lord's manor.

  "Something's wrong! Something's wrong!" A city guard officer rushed into the study of the city lord's mansion, crying out in extreme terror.

  "What's wrong?" Wei Hongjun raised his head and asked displeasedly.

  "The Wu family, the Wu family has been exterminated, the entire garden was burned to ashes, not a single survivor." The city guard officer panted back.

  "Which Wu family?" Wei Hongjun was shocked, but still kept calm and asked.

  "Wu Tianfeng, Wu's family."

  "Ah!" Wei Hongjun breathed a sigh of relief, after all, it was just a declining family, although the case of the massacre was serious, but no one would come forward for them, as long as they found a way to suppress it, it wouldn't spread too far and wouldn't affect his own position as city lord.

  "Do you know who did it?" Wei Hongjun asked casually while thinking about how to deal with the aftermath.

  "On the outer wall, a large character for 'wind' was written in blood. It should... it should be the Blood Wind person!" The city guard officer replied with trepidation.

  "Blood Wind!" Wei Hongjun suddenly stood up, his face turning ugly. Blood Wind, that was the one who had been wanted by several countries for so many years and still hadn't been eradicated, how did he come to Cang Feng City this time?

  "Lord of the castle, what should we do next?" asked the city guard officer.

  "Notify the city guards to remain vigilant and prevent the culprits from harming the civilians. Also, strengthen the defense of the City Lord's mansion." Wei Hongjun ordered.

  "Yes, sir!" The city guard officer breathed a sigh of relief. The lord had only ordered them to remain vigilant and not pursue the murderer, which even an idiot could understand meant they should avoid trouble. Only a fool would want to provoke the notorious Bloodwind. As for the defense of the lord's manor, it was something that didn't need to be ordered, but definitely strengthened. If possible, he even hoped to deploy all the city guards outside the manor, making him safer.

  Just as the city defense officer was about to leave, a guard from the City Lord's Mansion rushed in, rolling and crawling, crying and shouting, "Sir, it's not good, it's not good!"

  "Is it a matter of blood feud?" Wei Hongjun asked, without noticing the bloodstains on the guard's body.

  "Yes, no, not... " The guardian muttered incoherently.

  "What's going on?" Wei Hongjun shouted, his heart feeling a bit strange. This guard had always been steady and calm, but today he was acting so abnormally. Had the bloody wind really scared him to this extent? Only when he looked closer did he notice the bloodstains on the guard's body, and a sense of foreboding suddenly rose up in his heart.

  "Yes, yes, young master, young master went to Wu's residence for a drink, and then..." The guard covered his wound and didn't dare say another word.

  "What? He went to Wu Fu?" Wei Hongjun's face was in a state of great disorder, his body swayed slightly, and he asked anxiously, "Where is he now?"

  At this time, several former guards who had received news were carrying Wei Si Ming's body into the mansion, and nothing more needed to be said.

  Looking at Wei Si Ming's stiff body, the piercing wound on his throat, and his eyes that remained open until death, Wei Hong Jun was overcome with grief. As a middle-aged man who had only recently become a father, he had always doted on this sole heir. And although Zuo Si Ming was not accomplished, he was merely fond of women and wine, and had never done anything evil or unjust, yet unexpectedly, today he met such an untimely death.

  Looking at the Lord's grief-stricken appearance, the guards were so frightened that they didn't even dare to breathe.

  "Where's that Wu Tianfeng kid? I'll chop him into a million pieces!" Wei Hongjun bellowed in grief and rage. If it weren't for that kid always clinging to Siming, eating, drinking, and having fun together, how would Siming have died? In his sorrow, Wei Hongjun shifted all his anger onto Wu Tianfeng.

  "He's dead, killed by Bloodwind." The guard replied earlier.

  "It's good that he's dead, it's good that he's dead. Even if he didn't die, I would have killed him with my own hands." Wei Hongjun suddenly turned around, "The Blood Wind people, did they escape the city?"

  "No, they annihilated the Wu family and are now heading towards the Wan Qi family." The guard replied.

  "Notify the city guards to close the city gates, gather all troops and horses, and exterminate the Blood Wind! Also, send someone to the White Feather Academy of each major family. This is a matter that concerns the safety of our Cypress City, please ask them to take action!" Wei Hongjun's eyes blazed with fire as he bellowed loudly, using every ounce of strength in his body.

  "Yes!" The city guard officer felt a chill in his heart, but had no choice but to carry out the order.

  Soon, a team of armed city guards rushed to the direction of the Wan family. At this time, Wei Hongjun arrived at a separate courtyard in the mansion. Pushing open the door, a middle-aged man with a clear face was appreciating the moon while drinking wine, exuding an air of elegance and refinement.

  "Mr. Ji." Wei Hongjun bowed slightly to the middle-aged man, though he was furious, he tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart.

  "Coming so late, you must have something to discuss with me?" The middle-aged man known as Mr. Ji had seen the flames shooting up into the sky early on and knew that tonight was not going to be a peaceful night.

  "My son is dead, he was killed." Tears welled up in Wei Hongjun's eyes.

  "Who did it?" Mr. Ji remained calm and composed.

  Blood Wind

  "I'm going to kill him!" Mr. Ji's tone was unusually calm.

  "I want to be ruthless, I want to kill them with my own hands, I want to make them unable to live or die." Wei Hongjun's expression was extremely ferocious.

  "Alright, after settling this matter, I still owe you one thing." Ji Shengsheng downed the wine in his cup in one gulp and walked out of the door with an expressionless face.

  As the master of a city, how could there be no powerful person in charge after his death? This Mr. Ji is precisely the strongest trump card hidden in the last and most powerful part of the City Master's Mansion.

  In the mansion of the Wan family, there was a sudden cry of killing at this time. Although earlier when the Wu family's fire rose to the sky, the people of the Wan family had expected that something would happen in the city and made some emergency preparations in advance, but no one had expected that the ones who came were the Blood Wind Sect, nor did they expect that after exterminating the Wu family, they would all head towards the Wan family. Unprepared, they could only hastily respond to battle, being killed into the courtyard by the Blood Wind Sect's people, with heavy casualties among the clan's disciples and guards.

  However, the Wan family is now the most prestigious family in Cangfeng City, and after the last incident with Wu Tianyuan, they strengthened their guards. Old Master Wan Jiede even specially invited more than a dozen powerful guards from Honglin City. It's not easy for Xue Feng to destroy the Wan family like he did with the Wu family.

  In the backyard of the Wan family, in front of the ancestral hall, Wan Jiede was valiantly wielding his large knife, barely holding off the attack with several heavily paid guards. All the direct descendants and their families were hiding inside the ancestral hall, watching the fight outside through the cracks in the door, and if Old Master Wan lost, their fate could be imagined.

  The sound of hooves drew near. A member of the Blood Wind squad rushed into the backyard, shouting, "The City Guard has arrived!"

  "Block them, once the Wan family is destroyed, we'll leave!" Xiang Nan Tian said calmly, surrounded by three guards. He didn't put these city guards in his heart, this time the Blood Wind members who came were only a few dozen people, but each one was an elite core of the hall, the worst had the strength of the first level of the earth, and the highest had already reached the soul level.

  If it weren't for these fearless bodyguards from Honglin City, the two Wan families would have been wiped out long ago.

  Xiang Nan Tian let out a loud roar, his long knife rolling up wave after wave of air, unstoppable. The three guards who had been attacking him were already exhausted and could no longer withstand this fierce blade, being slaughtered on the spot.

  Xiang Nan Tian didn't stop, and with another slash of his knife, he chopped down towards Wan Jiede once again. The blade quivered and emitted a series of intense humming sounds.

  Seeing this astonishing slash, Wan Jiede's expression turned gloomy. The several guards who had just died under his sword were all top-notch experts invited from Honglin City, each with the strength of a Sky-level peak. One of them was even on the verge of reaching the Soul level, stronger than himself by a margin. If they couldn't withstand his slash, how could he possibly resist?

  Although he knew it was not a match, although he knew he would die, for the sake of his people behind him, Wan Jiede still raised his knife and went up without hesitation.

  A figure suddenly descended from the sky, a long sword was drawn out of its scabbard like a startled swan appearing for an instant, and a fierce and unmatched sword intent burst forth through the sword.

  Master, absolute master!

  Xie Nan Tian leapt back, his long knife flashing in front of him as he parried several swift sword strikes. A look of shock appeared on his face. This person was also a Soul level cultivator, but absolutely stronger than himself by a significant margin - at least a mid-stage Soul level expert, while he was only an early stage Soul level cultivator. When did Cang Feng City have such a powerful expert? Why wasn't there even a single mention of this in the previous intelligence reports?

  "Run!" Xiang Nan Tian didn't have time to think much, and without hesitation, he let out a loud shout. As a Soul-level cultivator, the gap between the early and mid stages was even greater than that between the Sky and Earth levels.

  Other members of the Blood Wind heard the shout and saw that things were not going well, so they fled in all directions. In an organization like the Blood Wind, it's not shameful to temporarily stop a mission when unexpected situations arise. If they had been blindly brave and fought hard, they would not have survived until today.

  Even with Mr. Ji's mid-level soul strength, it was not an easy task to capture all these fleeing experts at once.

  "It was him, he killed the young master!" Amidst the encirclement of numerous guards, Wei Hongjun and the injured guard walked in, and as soon as they saw Xiang Nan Tian, they pointed at him and shouted loudly.

  "Seize him!" The enemy met with a red eye, Wei Hongjun shouted loudly.

  Mr. Ji's figure floated out like a ghost, his long sword emitting cold light, constantly swallowing and spitting out like a poisonous snake spitting out its letter.

  The gap in strength was too great, and after a dozen or so moves, Xiang Nan Tian was stabbed to the ground by Mr. Ji's sword. If it weren't for Wei Hong Jun saying earlier that he wanted to leave him alive, he might not have been able to withstand even those dozen or so moves, and would have lost his life under Mr. Ji's sword long ago. However, this wasn't a fortunate thing, as before long, Xiang Nan Tian began to regret it. If only he had known earlier, he wouldn't have tried to block those dozen or so swords, and directly taking his own life would have been better.

  Apart from Xiang Nan Tian, the other Blood Wind members who were slightly slower also had their tendons severed and fell to the ground, but not a single one of them let out a groan.

  Others took advantage of this opportunity to escape from the mansion of the Wan Qi family, and even if the city guard and the White Feather Academy, as well as various large families, joined forces to intercept them, they still managed to escape more than half.

  In front of the main gate of Cang Feng City, seven members of Xue Feng knelt in a row on the empty ground. Although they knew they would die, their faces still had a look of arrogance.

  "Was it you who killed my son?" Wei Hongjun walked up to Xiang Nan Tian, his eyes blazing with fury.

  Xiang Nan Tian raised his head, fearlessly stared at him for a moment, and then fiercely spat.

  "Light up all the lanterns and expose the corpse for three days!" Wei Hongjun gritted his teeth and ordered.

  Light the lanterns, expose the corpse for three days! Everyone around was stunned, this cruel method of execution had never happened in the history of Cang Feng City. Even the Blood Wind people, upon hearing these words, couldn't help but shudder involuntarily.

  "Lord of the castle, is this not...?" The principal of White Feather Academy was somewhat worried. Doing so would likely provoke a crazy revenge from Blood Wind, and that's no ordinary outlaw, but Blood Wind himself.

  "My son is dead, my only son is dead, hahaha." Wei Hongjun's eyes shed bloody tears, looking like a madman.

  Seeing this, no one said another word.

  In the night sky, a heart-wrenching scream echoed, no one could bear such torture, not even those who were used to blood and violence. The cry was so mournful, so terrifying that it made the infants in the middle of the night stop crying, their pure big eyes gazing fearfully at the door.

  "What? You're saying they...they..." The headquarters of the Blood Wind, Xiang Ding Tian suddenly stood up and then fell back down with a thud. Xiang Nan Tian, his own younger brother, was tortured to death by such cruel punishment, and even after death, he couldn't rest in peace, being exposed for three days.

  "Each hall master, listen to the order, gather all the manpower from various places back, and bloodbath the Cangfeng City." Xiang Dingtian suddenly stood up and said cruelly.

  "Yes!" The masters of the Blood Wind Pavilion responded in unison. Over the years, the Blood Wind's mission had not been without failures, nor had they never lost anyone to capture, but this was the first time they had suffered such a massacre, it was an insult, and even more so a provocation, everyone was filled with a sense of righteous indignation.

  Blood Wind members from all over the country and even across the continent rushed to Autumn Leaf City, as if overnight, the seemingly calm surface of Autumn Leaf City was filled with many new faces. Walking on those ancient streets, everyone felt an unusual and eerie atmosphere.

  Under the afterglow of sunset, a team of nearly a thousand people divided into several columns and rushed towards Cangfeng City.

  ……

  The Tianfeng Academy will be on holiday soon, and on the first day of the holiday, Cang Wu Ya sent someone to bring Zhuge Mingyue back to the Summoner Association. To continue teaching her multiple summoning techniques and others.

  The next day, Zhuge Mingyue was alone in Cang Wuya's study, flipping through Cang Wuya's collection of books. A gentle breeze blew in from the window, and Zhuge Mingyue's hair was lightly lifted. She subconsciously turned her head to look at the window. Outside the window was bright sunlight, and the curtains were gently fluttering. There was nothing else unusual. She withdrew her gaze and lowered her head to look at the book in her hand again. A slender white hand reached out and took the book from her hand, putting it back on the bookshelf. Zhuge Mingyue was startled and suddenly looked up, meeting Jun Qianyao's beautiful, heart-pounding heterochromatic eyes.

  "You, you..." Zhuge Mingyue stared blankly at the person in front of her, "How did you come?"

  "Of course, I was thinking of you." Jun Qingyao's voice was as gentle as the cool moonlight, and also as cold as frost. It made one's heart float in that instant.

  Zhuge Mingyue was speechless, and towards Jun Qianyao's straightforward words, she had no idea what to say.

  "Beware of Nangong Jin, keep a distance from him." Jun Qiangyao suddenly bowed slightly and whispered in Zhuge Mingyue's ear, a thread of hot air sprayed on Zhuge Mingyue's ear. The two were so close that Zhuge Mingyue smelled the faint fragrance emitted from Jun Qiangyao's body, different from the heavy scent on Nangong Jin's body. Jun Qiangyao had a light and elegant scent, seemingly jasmine fragrance.

  "What kind of person is he?" When Zhuge Mingyue heard this sentence, her body stiffened, and she looked up at Jun Qingyao. However, she didn't expect the two to be too close, and as she lifted her head, her lips lightly brushed against Jun Qingyao's cheek. Zhuge Mingyue was taken aback, and then her face turned bright red as she quickly took two steps back, keeping a distance from Jun Qingyao.

  "You've kissed before, yet you're still so shy?" Jun Qingyao smiled slightly, and the sun and moon lost their color. "Why don't we kiss again, several more times, and you'll get used to it."

  "You, you'd better not say such things!" Zhuge Mingyue felt embarrassed and annoyed. This Jun Qingyao, how could he be so shameless and have such a rogue charm? However, when Jun Qingyao said these words, they didn't make people feel disgusted at all. His elegant demeanor couldn't be associated with the words "lascivious" no matter what. It only made people feel a kind of enchanting charm.

  "Nan Gong Jin is a very dangerous person. He's the one from the Temple of God. The so-called Envoy of the Temple in the Imperial Palace is just an imposter, and he's under Nan Gong Jin's command." Jun Qian Yao suppressed his smile, "This man has great strength and his way of doing things is mysterious. You'd better be careful yourself."

  "Is he the Temple's person?!" Zhuge Mingyue exclaimed.

  "Yes." Jun Qiang nodded slightly, "He is currently the most popular newcomer in the Temple of Gods. Don't be deceived by him."

  Zhuge Mingyue was slightly stunned, she had noticed that Nangong Jin and the divine temple envoy's relationship was not ordinary. She just didn't expect that Nangong Jin was the real master, and that woman was her subordinate. He concealed his identity and followed by her side, what was he after? Was it for the sake of protecting Xinghuan?

  However, my woman wouldn't be so foolishly deceived." Just as Zhuge Mingyue was lost in thought, her chin felt a slight pinch, and when she came to, she found Jun Qinyao's stunning face right in front of her, his hand gently pinching her chin. At this moment, the two people's posture was extremely ambiguous.

  "You, you, let me go!" Zhuge Mingyue stuttered out this sentence, then slapped away Jun Qingyao's hand and took two steps back. As a result, because she was already retreating earlier, now she retreated again, her back hit the wall. Jun Qingyao took two steps forward, stretched out one arm to lean against the wall, slightly lowered his head, and trapped Zhuge Mingyue in the crook of his arm.

  Jun Yingyao looked at the embarrassed Zhuge Mingyue, his mood improved, and smiled: "Mingyue, don't look at me with this kind of eyes. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, and now I'll eat you."

  Zhuge Mingyue suddenly stretched out her foot and stomped heavily on Jun Qiangyao's foot. Jun Qiangyao grunted, but his body didn't move at all, instead he smiled and said: "You really are ruthless, using so much force."

  "Who are you?" Zhuge Mingyue asked in a low voice. She had saved him, he had helped her, but until now, Zhuge Mingyue still didn't know what Jun Qianyao's true identity was.

  "I'm now seemingly a person of the temple." Jun Yingyao looked at Zhuge Mingyue, whose face was flushed red, and finally decided to let her go. He had been pressing her too urgently, after all, Zhuge Mingyue was a sharp sword.

  Zhuge Mingyue was savoring these words, now seemingly a person of the Holy Temple. So to speak, being a person of the Holy Temple is just one of his identities, or a disguise for his identity?

  Jiang Mingyue was deep in thought when Jun Qianyao suddenly reached out and touched the earrings on Jiang Mingyue's earlobe, smiling contentedly: "Remember, don't take them off. Even if you die, don't take them off." The tone of his voice had a hint of dominance and possessiveness.

  After finishing, Jun Qiangyao moved his hand to Zhuge Mingyue's eyelids. Zhuge Mingyue blinked, and the next moment, when she opened her eyes again, Jun Qiangyao's figure had already disappeared from the room. Only the curtains were still gently swaying, as if everything that had just happened was like a dream.

  Zhuge Mingyue pulled out that book again and continued reading. However, her mood was a bit disturbed, and she couldn't concentrate on the book no matter what.

  Before long, there was a knock at the door.

  "Miss Zhuge, someone is looking for you outside." Zhuge Mingyue, who was studying at the Summoner Association, heard this and wondered who it could be. Was it Feiyang and the others with something to ask her, or was it Nangong Jin, that cleanliness freak? It shouldn't be Nangong Jin, that bastard would never have someone announce his arrival, he always snuck in quietly through the window. Zhuge Mingyue wondered as she went downstairs, and saw the person who was looking for her.

  "Master Lin, how come you have time to visit today?" Seeing Lin Yuhanshen, Zhuge Mingyue was slightly surprised, but still smiled and exchanged pleasantries.

  "There's something I think you need to know." Lin Yuhans' face was serious, he didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the point.

  "Oh, what's the matter?" Zhuge Mingyue asked, putting away her smile and asking seriously. She felt that Lin Yuhans' current demeanor was definitely due to something important.

  "A few days ago, something big happened in Cang Feng City......" Lin Yu Han recounted the massacre and the appearance of the Blood Wind that occurred in Cang Feng City.

  "How can they be so reckless? Isn't this a clear provocation for an endless battle to the death?" Zhuge Mingyue's expression turned solemn.

  "I've received news that several teams are heading in the direction of Cang Feng City, with a total of around 700 people, all of whom have considerable strength." Lin Yuhans continued.

  "Blood Wind's person?" Zhuge Mingyue asked.

  "Yes." Lin Yuhansaid firmly, "The person who sells information is absolutely trustworthy."

  Zhuge Mingyue nodded, and she was very clear about the implicit meaning behind Lin Yuhans words. Lin Yuhans information had been bought, and the price would not be low.

  "I understand, I'll go inform Wan Xi Chen and Xue Zi Hao right away. Thank you so much this time." Zhuge Mingyue said seriously to Lin Yuhanshan, "If there's a need for my help in the future, don't hesitate to look for me."

  Lin Yuhans nodded, what he wanted was actually this sentence from Zhuge Mingyue.

  As soon as they left the gate, Zhuge Mingyue summoned Feng Bao and rushed to the academy at lightning speed. The homes of Wan Xichen and Xue Zihao were both in Cangfeng City, and if the Blood Maple really launched a large-scale revenge against Cangfeng City, their families would all be in danger.

  As soon as they heard the news that Zhuge Mingyue was coming, Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zihao's faces changed drastically, even Ling Feiyang furrowed his brow. The few of them didn't think twice before rushing towards the city at their fastest speed.

  Go to Cang Feng City, no time to delay!
