Youzhou City, on the long street.
With Bai Li's departure, the originally tense atmosphere suddenly relaxed.
Those sect warriors who had been watching coldly at first now put on enthusiastic smiles.
It was as if the conflict just now had never happened.
The scholar carrying the guqin on his back no longer has a crooked mouth.
The eyes of the demon cultivator wrapped in black robe became clear.
The smile of the witch from the Hehuan Sect froze.
"General Xia is indeed worthy of his reputation!"
"Those people from the Tianjian Sect have always been arrogant. Today, someone finally teaches them a lesson!"
"The general is mighty!"
Xia He glanced at them and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
——You change your expression very quickly.
These sect warriors usually act high and mighty.
Now that he saw that he even dared to cripple the disciples of Tianjian Sect, he immediately restrained his arrogance.
Some people even took the initiative to approach him and try to get close to him, fearing that Xia He would bear a grudge against him.
In the crowd, Huo Xinxin, the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, was quietly retreating.
She came to Youzhou this time to look for her missing junior sister Liu Huanhuan.
That girl had bewitched the young master of aristocratic family before.
As a result, the two great families were uprooted by Xia He, and there was no news of his junior sister.
"It seems... it's more dangerous than good."
Now that this ruthless guy is right in front of us, it’s better not to let him notice us!
Huo Xinxin sighed inwardly, but did not stop walking, preparing to slip away in the chaos.
But the moment she turned around——
"Bang!"
She bumped into a figure hard.
When I looked up, I met Xia He's eyes that seemed to be smiling.
"The girl's steps were hurried."
Huo Xinxin's body trembled, but she quickly calmed down.
She was best at dealing with men. Her eyes moved and her red lips opened slightly:
"General Xia, that shot just now was really impressive~"
She lightly stroked Xia He's armor with her fingertips, breathing sweetly:
"I'm a little moved~"
As she expected, Xia He would either scold her coldly or ignore her and leave.
But I didn't expect——
Xia He suddenly reached out and grabbed her wrist, saying in a playful tone:
"What a coincidence. I am also interested in you..."
Huo Xinxin was stunned, but reacted quickly.
She lowered her head shyly and let Xia He pull her away.
…
General's Mansion, inner courtyard.
Huo Xinxin was taken into a side room by Xia He, and the door closed with a creaky sound.
Her eyes moved and she chuckled:
"General, are you so anxious in broad daylight?"
Xia He didn't say anything, just clapped his hands.
The next moment, two bodyguards came in, escorting a woman with disheveled hair.
The woman was dressed in rags, her face was covered in bruises, and her eyes were filled with fear.
The moment she saw Huo Xinxin, the charming smile on her face froze instantly.
"Senior sister, why are you here?"
——It’s Liu Huanhuan!
She turned her head sharply to look at Xia He, only to see him slowly wiping his spear:
"Sisters and apprentices are reunited. Do you want to give you some time to reminisce?"
Huo Xinxin's eyes kept changing.
After all this time... Xia He captured her, but he didn't fall in love with her at all?
Xia He was too lazy to waste time talking to her and went straight to the point:
"Why are all these sects gathering in Youzhou?"
Huo Xinxin rolled her eyes, glanced at the embarrassed junior sister next to her, and said in a wronged tone:
"I just came here to look for my junior sister. Who knew she was here with you, General? Thank you so much for reuniting us sisters."
Her voice was sweet and she leaned towards Xia He, trying to use the Hehuan Sect's charm to disrupt his judgment.
Xia He sneered and grabbed her chin with such force that she frowned in pain.
"I believe that the Hehuan Sect is here to look for someone. But the Tianjian Sect, Xuanyin Sect, and Yaowang Valley...are they all here to look for someone?"
Huo Xinxin's heart trembled at his sharp gaze, but she still forced a smile:
"General, you hurt me."
Xia He loosened his hand, turned around, picked up a wooden box from the table, and opened it slowly -
A dark red spiritual grass lay quietly in it, emitting a strange fishy smell.
Huo Xinxin's pupils suddenly shrank, and the seductive look on her face instantly disappeared.
Linghe!
——This is a poisonous weed that can make your life worse than death!
Xia He picked up Linghe and waved it in front of her eyes, saying in a cold tone:
"I'll give you one more chance. If you still don't tell the truth..."
His eyes glanced at Liu Huanhuan standing beside him, the meaning was self-evident.
Huo Xinxin's forehead was covered with cold sweat, but she still held on to a glimmer of hope:
"General, why do you have to scare me? Linghe may be poisonous, but..."
Before she finished speaking, Liu Huanhuan, who had been cowering in the corner, suddenly rushed over, hugged her legs tightly and cried:
“Senior Sister! Save me! I’ve been fed Linghe… My internal organs feel like they’re on fire… Please…”
Liu Huanhuan pulled open her collar, revealing the dark red poisonous marks spreading across her neck, which was shocking to the eye.
Huo Xinxin finally broke down.
Xia He really didn't scare her?
This was the first time she had seen a man who was so unkind to women.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you everything!"
She slumped to the ground and said in a trembling voice:
"We...all came here for the Blood Qilin!"
"Qilin blood is extraordinary. If a warrior at the Tongmai realm consumes it, it can widen the meridians and even... increase the probability of breaking through the Xuanxiang realm!"
Xia He's eyes narrowed.
No wonder even the master of Tianjian Sect came out in person!
——Xuanxiang Realm?
The next step is to become a Martial Saint!
But he soon looked strange.
He searched for many days but could not find any trace of the Blood Qilin. Could it be that these sects had some special methods?
