After Huo Xing roared towards the sky, an old man with the cultivation level of the ninth stage of the Cave Heaven Realm slowly flew down from the sky, glanced at the injured Huo Xing, and then coldly looked at Yuan Zhexian and Yuan Zifeng and said.
"I've heard that reclusive families possess countless precious treasures and cultivation techniques. As a descendant of a reclusive family, you must have quite a few good things on you. If I kill you, everything on you will be mine," the elders said excitedly.
"Are you desperate for money? Do you want to kill someone and steal their treasure?" Yuan Zhexian said, looking at the clown.
"You can only blame yourselves for being too ostentatious and not knowing how to restrain yourselves. You dared to flaunt your status as a reclusive family without any protectors. I was planning to make my move after you left the Lin family, but it seems I have no choice but to. I'll gladly accept you as a walking treasure trove," the old man said happily.
At this moment, Zhao Zixuan stepped forward and said, "Elder, how can you do this? Aren't you afraid that the hidden families will come after you? Can you please let the young master and the others go?"
"Hmph! Zhao Zixuan, you are just an inner disciple. How dare you interfere in my affairs?" the old man said condescendingly to Zhao Zixuan.
“But…” Zhao Zixuan was about to say something when she was interrupted by the old man.
"Shut up! If you say another word, I'll punish you according to the clan rules!"
Huo Xing's face was also gloomy. Seeing Zhao Zixuan still protecting Yuan Zhexian, he became angrier and angrier. He immediately cried out in anguish, "Zhao Zixuan, you bitch! I've loved you so much for so many years, and tried so hard to please you. You only met this man once, and you actually...
"No! That's not how it is." Zhao Zixuan was about to refute, but Huo Xing's next words left her completely dumbfounded.
"You said you were reserved, waiting for me to come to you? I was so naive. If I had known you were such a slut, I should have gotten with you sooner. Your Xuan Yin Cha Ti dual cultivation not only increases cultivation, but I've also heard it makes you a top-notch physique in bed. Don't worry, after we kill them, I'll treat you well." Huo Xing's face became more and more ferocious as he spoke.
These words struck Zhao Zixuan like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned and unable to process them. She hadn't expected Huo Xing to be such a person, so utterly despicable.
Seeing Zhao Zixuan so heartbroken and in pain, Yuan Zhexian immediately smiled wickedly and stepped forward to comfort her, saying, "Miss Zixuan, such a disgusting person is truly unworthy of you. It's a good thing you saw through him sooner. If you want to cry, just cry. My shoulder is always there for you. You'll feel better after you cry." Zhao Zixuan, who had been choking back tears, looked at the gentle and handsome Yuan Zhexian and said, "Why did you appear so late? If only I had met you sooner." She then quietly buried her face in Yuan Zhexian's shoulder and wept, her tears soaking his clothes.
Huo Xing was furious at the sight. He immediately turned to the old man and said, "Elder, what are we waiting for? Kill this adulterous couple!"
The old man then said, "If you still want to indulge in pleasure on your deathbed, then this elder will grant your wish."
"Shut up! Yan'er, wipe them out." Yuan Zhexian said to the air while gently patting Zhao Zixuan's back, his head resting on her pillow.
"Very well, young master," at this moment, a golden light flashed before the old man and Huo Xing, and Yuan Yan'er appeared in front of them. Then, Yuan Yan'er's spiritual power surged, and several water droplets appeared in the void. Then she softly said to the two of them, "Weak Ice Three Thousand," and the water droplets instantly condensed into palm-sized rhomboid ice cones, moving with incredible speed. Before the two of them could react, they were directly pierced by the ice cones and fell to the ground, lifeless.
The Grand Elder, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed, trembling all over. This was a ninth-level Cave Heaven Realm expert! She'd been instantly killed? Just how terrifying was this young girl's cultivation?
Then Yuan Zhexian said to the Grand Elder, "I would like to trouble the Grand Elder to have the servants take Miss Zixuan to rest." After saying that, Zhao Zixuan, who was crying and sleeping on Yuan Zhexian's shoulder, was floated up by Yuan Zhexian's spiritual power, and then the servants took Zhao Zixuan back to her room to rest.
Yuan Zhexian stretched and said, "This matter is giving me a headache. Elder, I'd like to rest a bit more."
"Alright! Alright! Please do as you please, sir." At this point, the way he addressed the Grand Elder had changed. He then left with his men.
As soon as they entered the room, Yuan Zhexian immediately said to Yuan Yan'er, "Yan'er, quick, water from the rootless well! I need to wash my hands. Also, I lost that piece of clothing. I don't need it anymore."
Seeing Yuan Zhexian's overreaction, Yuan Yan'er was immediately taken aback. She asked, "Divine Child, you were so kind to Miss Zixuan just now, why are you acting like this now?"
“Although this woman is a tool I use to control Lin Yan, I am a person with my own sense of cleanliness. Besides, if I don’t treat her well, how can she be devoted to working for me?” Yuan Zhexian replied immediately.
Only then did Yuan Yan'er and the other three realize that Yuan Zhexian was plotting something. They also understood that this was what the Divine Child meant when he said, "If you can use your brain, don't use your hands."
At this moment, in a secret chamber of a sacred site in the Tianlan Realm, a middle-aged man in seclusion opened his eyes, watching the soul fire within the jade stone in his hand extinguish. He then roared into the chamber, "My son! My son! Who? Who dared to kill my son? I will never let this person go! I will tear the one who killed you to pieces and avenge you!"
A few days later, Yuan Zhexian arrived at the Lin family's main hall with four others. Looking at the Lin family's Grand Elder, he said, "We have been quite a bother these past few days. Today, we are prepared to continue our travels in the mortal world."
The Lin family elder then asked, "My lord, where do you wish to go next?"
After pretending to ponder for a moment, Yuan Zhexian said, "Let's go to the capital of Yan Kingdom. Miss Zixuan is still resting. Please trouble the Grand Elder to inform her. We're leaving now, so I won't disturb her. Let her rest well."
