"ah!!!!"
A large pool of blood burst out from Xiao Yulong's lower abdomen. Xiao Yulong, who was already drunk, screamed like a pig being slaughtered, and fell off the bed. He covered his abdomen with his hands and rolled on the ground in pain.
The door was suddenly pushed open. Xiao Yang, who had not walked far away, rushed back in panic after hearing the scream. When he saw the situation clearly, his face turned pale and his hands trembled in panic: "Big...Brother!"
He wanted to help Xiao Yulong, but he didn't dare to touch him without permission. After a panic, he rushed out as fast as he could. Soon, his roar could be heard from outside: "Master...Master! Xiao Yulong...Xiao Yulong was assassinated...Master!!"
Under the cover of night, Xiao Yang's voice spread far away, causing the originally quiet Xiao Clan to suddenly become chaotic. Looking at Xiao Yulong lying on the ground wailing, Xiao Che smiled coldly, opened the door, and walked out slowly.
Not long after, Xiao Yunhai, Xiao Gu, and several elders suddenly rushed in. Seeing Xiao Yulong stabbed in the abdomen with a dagger and covered in blood, Xiao Yunhai's head suddenly dazed, and he staggered and rushed over: "Yulong... Yulong!!"
"Father......" Xiao Yulong's consciousness had not dissipated, and he was completely sober. He reached out and grabbed Xiao Yunhai's sleeve, making a painful and weak sound.
"Quick! Help him to the bed!" Xiao Gu said as he quickly opened the medicine box. The elders who followed him were also shocked... Who did this! !
Xiao Yulong was helped to lie flat on the bed, and Xiao Yunhai and the Great Elder used their profound strength to stop the bleeding from his wound. Xiao Yunhai said with a distorted expression: "Xiao Gu, how is the situation?"
Xiao Gu had been frowning. When he heard Xiao Yunhai's question, he sighed and said, "His life is not in danger. The assassin obviously didn't intend to take his life, but the knife... was too vicious. It just happened to pierce the 'Xuanxin' of the Xuanmai. If this place is pierced, the Xuanmai will be like a punctured balloon. Not only will the Xuanmai be damaged, but all the Xuanli will also be drained away."
"What!?"
“All the profound energy has been drained away.” Xiao Yunhai felt as if he heard thunder. His face turned pale instantly. He forced himself to remain calm and asked with a hint of hope, “Then… how long will it take to recover?”
Xiao Gu shook his head: "It's the loss of profound strength, not exhaustion. It's impossible to recover. But fortunately, the damage to the profound veins can be repaired. After the repair, I can... start practicing from the beginning."
Xiao Yunhai's body shook violently, and Xiao Yulong's face was filled with despair.
This blow didn't kill Xiao Yulong, but it destroyed all his profound strength! Moreover, it happened at this most important turning point in his life!
Like a pie in the sky, Xiao Clan suddenly got a chance to join Xiao Sect. Xiao Yulong took great pains to grab this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and finally he could soar to the sky, but on the eve of this beautiful dream coming true, all his profound strength was wasted... They could figure it out with their toes, there was no way Xiao Kuangyun would bring a waste with all his profound strength back to Xiao Sect!
"Who is it... who on earth is it... so cruel!! Who is it!!!"
Xiao Yunhai's face turned pale and his whole body was shaking. He was in an unprecedentedly good mood because Xiao Yulong was about to go to Xiao Sect. He even took advantage of the afternoon to personally prepare Xiao Yulong's luggage for tomorrow. Unexpectedly, he had just taken two steps on the road to heaven and suddenly fell back to hell.
"Master, calm down first! Yulong is still conscious now, he might know who committed the murder." Xiao Li said with a dark face.
Xiao Yunhai woke up as if from a dream, and quickly came to Xiao Yulong's side, and asked in a deep voice: "Yulong! Did you see clearly who stabbed you!"
At this time, Xiao Yulong's abdomen had been wrapped in a bandage by Xiao Gu, and his injury was temporarily stabilized. He shook his head and said painfully: "I don't know... I didn't see anyone at all..."
"Didn't see anyone?" Xiao Yunhai's eyes widened. At this moment, Xiao Cheng's eyes suddenly flashed, and he said in surprise: "Look at the window over there!"
There was a fist-sized hole on the diagonally opposite window. Xiao Yunhai pressed his hand on it, his whole body showing murderous intent.
"Obviously, someone was hiding behind the window, waiting for Yulong to come in, and took advantage of his drunkenness to throw the dagger at Yulong!" Xiao Li said cautiously, "This courtyard is located in the middle of Xiaomen, and someone was able to sneak in here and assassinate him, and even after the assassination, he was not detected... This person is either very familiar with our Xiaomen, or he is an insider of our Xiaomen!!"
After saying that, Xiao Li glanced at Xiao Bo, Xiao Ze, and Xiao Cheng respectively as if unintentionally.
Xiao Li's words shocked Xiao Yunhai's heart... Xiao Clan was a first-class Xuan Cultivation Clan in Liuyun City. To sneak into Xiao Clan and assassinate the clan leader's son was extremely difficult and risky. Xiao Yulong was usually polite and well-mannered outside, and had a very good reputation. Who could it be, and for what reason would he be assassinated?
And if the assassin was from the Xiao Clan, then it would be easy to explain!!
If it was done by someone from the Xiao Clan, "infiltration" would be extremely simple, and they could easily catch Xiao Yulong drunk. And the reason... was naturally jealous that Xiao Yulong would be brought back to the Xiao Clan! If he was crippled or killed, the Xiao Clan would choose someone else! The assassin would have a chance!
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai felt a chill in his heart, and his vigilance soared... Because the second, third, and fourth elders around him were all highly suspicious! They dreamed of sending their grandsons to the Xiao Sect! Now that they were facing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity from the Xiao Sect, it was no surprise that they did something crazy.
"Xiao Gu, how is Yulong's injury now?" Xiao Yunhai gritted his teeth and forced himself to remain calm.
"The wound has stopped bleeding and has been treated with medicine. It is no longer a big deal. With Yulong's physique, he will be able to recover most of the way in half a month. But it may take several months to repair his Xuanmai. By then, he will have to build up his Xuanli all over again." Xiao Gu said truthfully.
At this moment, a deafening panic cry suddenly came from outside the door: "It's... on fire! It's on fire! The pharmacy and the South Courtyard... are on fire!!"
"What!!"
Xiao Gu turned around suddenly and ran out desperately. The pharmacy was stocked with countless medicinal materials and pill recipes, which he regarded as his life. Xiao Yunhai and others were also shocked, because the South Courtyard was where the sect master and several elders lived!
The four elders ran out without saying anything. After a slight hesitation, Xiao Yunhai said to Xiao Yulong urgently: "Yulong, your injury is not serious. Have a good rest and don't think too much about other things. I will definitely catch the murderer who assassinated you as soon as possible!!"
After saying that, Xiao Yunhai also walked out of the door quickly and headed straight for the South Courtyard. There were all the important things he had accumulated for most of his life there. Hearing that there was a fire, how could he feel at ease if he didn't go there in person?
Xiao Yulong was the only one left in the room. With his profound veins broken and severely injured, Xiao Yulong lay there motionless... Not to mention moving his body, he was so weak that he could hardly even lift his little finger. He stared blankly at the roof with a gray look in his eyes. How he wished this was a nightmare...
Step, step, step...
Obviously, there should be no one here, but Xiao Yulong suddenly heard a low sound of footsteps. This sound made his hair stand on end, and he tried his best to turn his head towards the source of the sound... He saw a figure approaching him... Someone who should never be here...
"Xiao... Che!?" Xiao Yulong stared at the person who appeared in front of his bed like a ghost, and he could hardly believe his eyes. He had been expelled from the Xiao Clan and was not allowed to enter again... How could he appear here?
During the three hours of "Star Hidden", unless the hidden state is released passively, Xiao Che can freely cancel and re-enter the hidden state during this period until the three-hour effect ends. He stood in front of Xiao Yulong's bed and looked at him coldly: "Xiao Yulong, you look surprised."
"You...how come you are here!!" Xiao Yulong's voice was hoarse and unclear. He struggled to sit up, but he could only raise half of his arm before he fell down again.
"Why am I here?" Xiao Che smiled, and his smile was very casual, but in Xiao Yulong's eyes, he felt a chill from body to heart. He slowly picked up the short knife that Xiao Gu had pulled out of Xiao Yulong's body and pointed it at Xiao Yulong: "Of course, I'm here to collect a debt from you."
"Debt collection? What debt? Do you know what you are doing?" Xiao Yulong's body twitched, and suddenly, his pupils shrank. He said in horror, "You are the one who assassinated me? No... Impossible! Impossible!!"
"How dare you ask me what debt I owe you!" The smile on Xiao Che's face disappeared, replaced by a devilish ferocity. His facial features became horrible as they twisted, and the hand holding the dagger began to tremble slightly. Endless murderous intent and resentment were vented without reservation at this moment...
"On my wedding day, you used the Heart-killing Powder to poison me! If I hadn't been blessed by fate, I would have been dead by now!!"
“In order to rise to prominence and gain fame, you flattered Xiao Kuangyun and did not hesitate to frame my aunt, forcing Xia Qingyue and I to separate, and forcing me out of the Xiao Clan… Ha, forcing me out of the Xiao Clan would be fine, but if it weren’t for the fact that Xia Qingyue is a disciple of the Frozen Cloud Immortal Palace and her master happened to be nearby! Xia Qingyue would suffer misfortune, and my aunt would be taken back to the Xiao Clan after being wronged and humiliated! My grandfather would be left alone and helpless, and suffer hatred for the rest of his life…”
"Xiao Yulong... tell me... what debt should I ask you for!!!"
"How should I treat you so that you can pay off this debt!!!"
With a resentful roar, Xiao Che raised his dagger and stabbed Xiao Yulong fiercely.
“Stop… Stop it!! Ah!!!”
The shiny dagger slashed across Xiao Yulong's feet, ruthlessly cutting his two tendons as blood splattered everywhere.
Xiao Yulong let out a blood-curdling scream, and convulsed violently in the hellish pain. Seeing his painful appearance, Xiao Che's face was full of satisfaction. He raised the short knife that he had just stabbed again, roared, and suddenly slashed at his hands. Two streams of blood immediately spurted up, and the tendons of Xiao Yulong's hands were also brutally cut off.
“Ahhhhh!!!!”
Xiao Yulong's screams were as shrill as the howling of an evil ghost. His limbs were covered in blood, and he was in the abyss of pain and fear. He had never expected that Xiao Che, who was usually weak and self-deprecating, would really want to kill him, and that his move would be so cruel and vicious.
“No… don’t… spare me… spare me… I don’t want to die yet… I don’t want to die…”
Xiao Yulong's face was as pale as paper, and his pupils had expanded more than ten times due to pain and extreme fear. Xiao Che raised the knife again and smiled cruelly: "Die? No, don't worry, I won't let you die... How can I bear to let you die painfully! Not only will I not let you die, I will also let you live for a long time... Let you live a life worse than death! Let you use all the pain in the second half of your life to remember the consequences of angering me and hurting my relatives!!"
"I want you to lose sight of this knife!!!"
Tsk tsk!!
Two swift knife strikes pierced into Xiao Yulong's eyes, twisting his wide-open eyeballs into black and white paste.
“Uooa ...
This scream seemed to come from hell, it was so tragic that it was enough to make anyone who heard it tremble and their scalp tingle. But Xiao Che was smiling, as if he was listening to music from heaven. He pulled out the knife, narrowed his eyes, and smiled faintly: "Tsk tsk, what a powerful scream, enjoy your scream now, because you will never be able to make such a beautiful scream again in the future."
Chila! !
"This knife will make me speechless for the rest of my life!!"
The dagger stabbed fiercely into Xiao Yulong's mouth. When it was pulled out, a piece of blood-red tongue and a dozen teeth flew out.
"I want you to never hear this knife again in your life!!!"
Chi!!!
The knife flashed, blood flew, and Xiao Yulong's two ears flew out of his body, spilling blood and falling on the cold ground.
"With this blow, I want you to... have no descendants!! A despicable person like you doesn't deserve to have descendants!!"
The blood-stained dagger was raised, tilted down, and fiercely stabbed into Xiao Yulong's crotch...
“Aaaaah…”
Xiao Yulong's whole body was stiff, and even the extremely hoarse shouting in his mouth slowly died down...
