Xi Yunting's appearance made Du Rong and Tong Nuonuo equally happy, and they came over immediately. Chen Xiao was surprised and happy, and hurriedly said: "Before you didn't come back, we were afraid that something might happen, so we temporarily changed our hiding place."

Xi Yunting took the initiative to say that, and the time he spent preparing for the next sentence was enough for Chen Xiao to recount their previous experiences. After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Xi Yunting replied, "I went to the Zhongtian Realm of the Genhe River and issued an urgent mission to the Zhishi Hall there. City Lord Han will rush back as soon as he receives the news."

Although the three people were very happy, they had some doubts in their hearts. Tong Nuonuo said: "I don't know City Lord Han. Is he such a jealous and vengeful person?" He could put aside the important issue of succession and rush back to deal with a bad thing.

Xi Yunting shook his head solemnly, "That's not the case. This matter is no longer a simple case of Master Li concealing the danger level, causing the death of many mission practitioners, or a dispute between practitioners."

Chen Xiao's expression also became serious: "Sure enough, things are not as simple as we thought." Xi Yunting glanced at him, and Chen Xiao took the initiative to explain. "I felt something was wrong when the group of people set up an ambush at the dock last night. Even if Li Xianshi and his group have a backer, they can't kill survivors like Wu Xianshi at the dock, where if something happens, the whole Hanshan City will be alarmed. Unless they are fearless." The dock is too deceptive. Wu Qing will definitely think that the other party is hiding here to wait for an opportunity to board the ship and escape, so he believes it a little more.

Xi Yunting nodded bluntly and said, "Fortunately, you were alert and didn't all fall into the trap. Fighting is also strictly prohibited in Hanshan City. No matter where you set an ambush in the city, the city guards will come. Killing Wu Qing is just the beginning of this series of actions. Next, there will be chaos in Hanshan City!"

Chen Xiao and the other two were shocked. Du Rong hurriedly asked, "Master Xi, what is going on?"

Xi Yunting said quickly, "The real culprit is someone else, and his plan is very ambitious. Li Xianshi and his gang were originally a small group in the upper heaven, mostly composed of animal trainers. They specialize in capturing young beasts and reselling them. Because it has always been going smoothly, they want to make a big deal in Hanshan City this time. They issued the task anonymously and concealed the degree of danger. Such an operation originally requires the cooperation of an insider. At first, they just bribed a manager with a large sum of money. As a result, the manager was not tight-lipped, and the Zhong family's people in Zhishi Hall got to know the news."

The Zhong family is also a family in Hanshan City. Although they rose late and the head of the family is not as good as Han Yuanchun, they are luckier than the Han family and have many children. The Han family's generation of young children originally made the Zhong family eager to make a move. As a result, the only son of Han Yuanzhi and his wife died, and they could not have another son. The Zhong family thought of replacing them and began to plan carefully.

The original purpose of Li Xianshi's group was to capture the beast cubs. After they succeeded, they threw away other unsuspecting practitioners and ran away. However, they did not expect that the mantis stalked the cicada and the oriole was behind. They were used by the Zhong family to ambush and capture the beasts that were chasing them. Li Xianshi's group did not gain any benefits. The Zhong family threatened and forced them to finish the job and take the blame for the Zhong family. When they no longer had value, they were killed.

"Evil will be punished!" Du Rong said with great satisfaction.

Chen Xiao asked, "So, the other survivors who went to Zhishitang to report the incident did not die at the hands of Li Xianshi and his gang, but at the hands of the Zhong family?"

Xi Yunting nodded: "Yes. Perhaps these survivors were only captured at first, tortured and tortured to reveal the details before being killed."

Tong Nuonuo was shocked by the truth. He said admiringly: "Master Xi, you are amazing to figure out so many things in such a short time!"

Xi Yunting shook his head: "This is not my own achievement. I went to the Han family that day in the name of the sect, and soon met the Han family's steward. When I learned that the city lord was not in Hanshan City, there was a force with ill intentions in Zhishitang, and there was a ferocious beast hidden somewhere, I felt that chaos was about to break out. This steward is from a branch of the Han family, he is very capable, and can mobilize some troops."

With the full cooperation of Han, Xi Yunting soon found out the clues. Han asked Xi Yunting to help rush to Zhongtianjing in Genhe to inform the city lord, and he stayed in Hanshan City to arrange the response. Xi Yunting had no choice but to agree, but before leaving, he asked Han to send someone to inform Chen Xiao. Unexpectedly, after returning, he found that the courtyard was empty and he was immediately anxious.

Xi Yunting said: "The messenger I asked General Manager Han to send was killed just after leaving the Han family. I think our investigation alarmed the other party. Fortunately, the other party only wanted to kill the messenger and did not follow him." Otherwise, when he came back, all he would see was the corpse.

Chen Xiao said: "The Zhong family must be desperate. If the trap they set last night could have caught us all, they could have delayed us for a while. Now that they have failed, they could launch the attack at any time."

Xi Yunting's expression changed slightly, and he turned around to block the three people behind him. Tong Nuonuo tightly grabbed Chen Xiao's arm and pulled him back. The moment Chen Xiao pounced on Tong Nuonuo, the courtyard instantly became a battlefield.

The people who came to surround and kill the few people were the vassals of the Zhong family, one Yuanying stage and two Jindan stage. The Yuanying man rushed straight to Xi Yunting, and the other two Jindan saw that the remaining three were only two foundation-building cultivators, so they did not take it seriously and only sent one person to deal with him.

When Chen Xiao fell on Tong Nuonuo, he had already grabbed the weapon he had kept close to his body. The training he had done all day yesterday quickly showed results. In just less than a second, he had already grasped the handle to activate it, turned around and sprayed a sky of golden spiritual needles at the attacker of Jindan.

He shouted loudly: "Nono! Wait for the right moment and drop the bomb!"

Tong Nuonuo had a serious face, holding the purple ball in his hand, ready. Chen Xiao shot out the spiritual needle, which made the Jindan practitioner dare not be careless and hard-resist. He paused for a moment. Chen Xiao took the opportunity to roll to the side, and Tong Nuonuo threw the ball out, then turned around and pounced on Du Rong.

There was a deafening roar that covered up the screams of the Jindan practitioner.

As if a great war had just begun, an extremely powerful and penetrating roar of a beast was heard from the direction of the lakeside commercial street in the distance.

“Ahhh——”

Chen Xiao's ears were buzzing and his chest felt stuffy. His hands and feet were weak, and he looked out from the completely collapsed gap. He murmured, "It's started."
