Xue Kong looked at the seven people opposite him calmly. He was not a kind-hearted person, and he didn't care who sent these people. As long as he understood that these seven people had no good intentions towards him, that was enough.
Bang bang bang.
A dull sound of bodies collapsing was heard, and in an instant, the bodies of three people exploded and turned into a bloody mist. In the bloody mist, three terrified souls flew out and were taken away by Xue Kong.
Bai Shan'an's eyes suddenly widened. This shocking scene made him breathe rapidly: "This person... this person..."
At this moment, he saw Xue Kong looking at him. Just as he was begging for mercy, he saw a cold light flash in Xue Kong's eyes, followed by a series of dull sounds, and the bodies of the other people exploded together.
The souls of these people flew out together and fell into Xue Kong's hands.
Xue Kong looked at the frantically struggling soul in his hand and thought to himself, "I have no grudges against these people in the past or in the present, and I have never exposed any treasures. There is no possibility of killing people to steal treasures. They must be members of the Bai family."
"Is it the idea of the Bai family's top management, or is it Bai Mian's own idea?"
Xue Kong put away the soul.
His expression changed slightly, and he raised his head to look at the door. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. Xue Kong thought for a moment, stood up and walked forward to open the door. Without looking at who was standing outside the room, he turned and walked into the room.
The person outside was silent for a moment, walked into the room and gently closed the door.
"The young lady has been confined by the Third Master and cannot step out of the room. She asked me to give you this jade slip." The person who came was a maid beside Bai Mian.
Anger showed on her face as she looked at Xue Kong and handed him a green jade slip.
"But the map of the north?" Xue Kong asked.
The maidservant said dissatisfiedly: "Just look for yourself, why ask me?"
She frowned slightly, and only then realized that the smell in the room was a little unusual. The blood mist from the previous body collapse was dispelled by Xue Kong, but there was still a faint smell of blood at this moment.
The maid didn't think much about it and threw the jade slip in her hand to Xue Kong.
Xue Kong took the jade slip and took a look at it.
Bai Mian's voice was heard from the jade slip: "Father has confined me to my room, so I cannot obtain the map of the north. However, at the dual cultivation ceremony in three days, I will ask father to exchange it for the map of the north, otherwise..."
"The Young Lord of Scorpion City is a despicable, licentious, and petty person. He has many spies in Jianxia City. He must have learned about what happened between me and... during the day. I'm sure he'll target... ... Leave Jianxia City immediately."
"There is a Tranquil Lake ten miles outside the city. After I get the map of the north, I will have it delivered there."
The sound in the jade slip was intermittent and somewhat incomplete.
The maid didn't know why the young lady spoke like that, but Xue Kong knew as soon as he heard it. This was a taboo for the immortal fetus and demon species. Each breakpoint represented the word "you".
"Young Lord of Scorpion City." Xue Kong crushed the jade slip in his hand, disapprovingly, and returned to bed.
Looking at the maid, she said, "Go back and tell your young lady that I am waiting for her map in Pingxiang Pavilion and will not go anywhere."
"Aren't you afraid of death? The young city lord of Scorpion City is not someone you can easily mess with. His father is the city lord of Scorpion City. I heard that he is a cultivator in the middle stage of foundation building. Even our Bai family has to respect them." The maid asked doubtfully.
Xue Kong shook his head and was about to speak when his mind suddenly moved. He raised his head and looked out the window.
He showed an unhappy look on his face, got off the bed, lifted his right foot, and took a light step forward. In a flash, his body disappeared from the spot.
This sudden change made the maid gasp: "He disappeared, he disappeared."
On the street outside Pingxiang Pavilion.
More than a dozen monks exuding murderous intent approached Pingxiang Pavilion. However, before they got close, a shadow suddenly flashed before their eyes, and in a trance, there was one more person in front of them.
Everyone was shocked. Before they could make a sound, they saw a tree appear out of thin air behind the man. A terrifying suction force for life emanated from the tree.
Not only that, the tree extended branches with leaves, and in just a moment, it bound and pierced the bodies of all the monks here.
In the blink of an eye, these dozen monks were killed.
Xue Kong waved his sleeves and the trees disappeared. He turned around and walked away in the air. His expression had become a little gloomy. He moved so fast that he turned into a long rainbow and headed straight into the distance. The huge spiritual consciousness of the early stage of Jindan suddenly dispersed.
The maid was just an ordinary person and didn't know what was going on.
After Xue Kong disappeared, she immediately returned to the Bai family and came to Bai Mian's room. She reported to Bai Mian angrily, "Miss, he really left. He left after seeing the contents of the jade slip you gave him."
"Not stopping at all?" Bai Mian's mouth twitched, feeling a little disappointed, but also a little expected.
After all, in her heart, he was an absolutely ruthless and indifferent person. Perhaps in his eyes, she was just a tool. Compared to her, the northern map was more valuable.
"No, I didn't stop." The maid shook her head like a rattle, and tears couldn't help falling.
She had discovered that the young lady did all this in order to get the man to rescue her. Unexpectedly, the man not only did not rescue her, but instead used the young lady to exchange for the map of the north.
The maid's hatred for Xue Kong already exceeded that for the young lord of Scorpion City.
"He's a selfish and cold-hearted man, my lady. Don't place your hopes on him. He won't come to save you." The maid cried, "Don't get the map of the north for him. Let him die."
Bai Mian shook his head with a miserable smile on his face and said nothing.
The relationship between her and Xue Kong is very complicated and no one can understand it.
But she felt that what the maid said was right in one point.
Xue Kong is indeed a selfish and indifferent person. All his attempts are probably just jokes in the eyes of the other party, and his expectations are not worth mentioning at all.
"It's fine if I leave... Let me jump into this fire pit alone. The Scorpion City Lord is a Foundation Establishment cultivator. Even if he stays, he's no match for a Foundation Establishment cultivator. He'll just lose his life in vain."
Bai Mian smiled bitterly and shook his head. He asked the maid to leave and sat alone in front of the dressing table. He looked at his beautiful self in the mirror, and a deep sense of bitterness emerged in his heart.
"This beautiful appearance is like a sweet drink to others, but in his eyes, it is like a bland soup, not worth mentioning."
"There really are such cold-blooded people in the world. I have once again clearly recognized him."
"There is no road to heaven, no door to hell, there is no way for me anymore."
"There's nothing beneath my feet."
“…”
A faint light gradually appeared on the dim horizon, and then the light gradually became brighter and more scorching. An orange sun emerged from the horizon and rose high.
A new day is coming.
In Scorpion City, the news that the Young City Lord was going to hold a dual cultivation ceremony had been circulating for several days. The entire city was ablaze with colorful lanterns, festive ribbons fluttering in the wind, and the city was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
However, no one noticed that as the sky gradually brightened, a dark shadow was rushing down from the sky.
