Swoosh!
At this moment, a loud sound was heard. Suddenly, something shot out from the cave toward Elder Xin.
Elder Xin frowned and directly slapped the thing with his palm.
Smack!
Amidst such a sound, the thing was directly smashed by Elder Xin. Then, some liquid splashed in all directions.
The two people who were closer were directly splashed, while the others who were further away naturally dodged.
"What is this?" The two people who were splashed couldn't help but look at themselves.
"Not good, this seems to be a snake egg. It's the snake egg of these two Black Rock Giant Pythons!" Elder Xin, who had noticed something, immediately exclaimed.
As he cried out in alarm, the two Black Rock Giant Pythons were already rushing toward them.
That damned fellow! Elder Xin couldn't help but curse in his heart. At this moment, how could he not see that he had fallen into Linlong's trap?
That's right, the thing that Linlong threw out was the snake egg he found inside. Originally, he wanted to take it away, but he thought that it would be difficult for him to escape from inside. Moreover, Elder Xin's group happened to come over.
In a moment of desperation, he had a flash of inspiration and thought of a way to throw out the snake egg.
Elder Xin didn't know that it was a trap and directly smashed the snake egg, which was exactly what he wanted.
Seeing that the two Black Rock Giant Pythons were swimming toward Elder Xin and the others, Linlong immediately flashed out and sprinted to the left.
"Where do you think you're going!" Elder Xin roared angrily. Ignoring the few people who were already entangled by the Black Rock Giant Pythons, he directly chased after Linlong.
After chasing for a while, a look of surprise appeared on his face. This was because he realized that Linlong's speed was actually faster than before.
At this moment, he also realized why. It was because the shadow of the Three-tailed Spirit Fox had clearly appeared behind Linlong.
It can't be, right? How did this kid do it? He actually successfully obtained the Three-tailed Spirit Fox's innate ability in such a short time! Elder Xin exclaimed in his heart.
I don't believe that I can't catch up to you! With this thought in mind, Elder Xin naturally chased after Linlong.
Although Linlong had activated the Three-tailed Spirit Fox's innate ability, Elder Xin believed that he was a fourth-grade beast. No matter what, he would be able to catch up to Linlong. How could he be willing to give up?
However, after chasing for a while, he actually lost track of the other party.
After searching the vicinity for a while and confirming that he couldn't find Linlong, he returned along the road. He was naturally worried that the few of them wouldn't be able to escape from the two Black Rock Giant Pythons.
On his way back, he noticed that two of his men were engaged in a fierce battle. Upon closer inspection, he realized that it was none other than Linlong, who had just escaped from him.
This brat actually took advantage of this time to come back to deal with them! Elder Xin cursed in his heart.
Just as he was about to go up and help, his expression changed because one of the two people on his side was directly killed by the other party's sword, and the other person was also sent flying by the other party's palm.
"Kid, I'll never forgive you!" Bellowing angrily, Old Xin gave chase once more. Who would have thought that the other party would flee without a trace when he caught up to him?
Knowing that he wouldn't be able to do anything to the other party even if he chased after them, he could only stop and check on the condition of the person who had been sent flying by the other party. What made his expression turn ugly was that this person obviously wouldn't be able to survive.
While the other party was still breathing, Old Xin hurriedly asked, "Why weren't the two of you a match for this person?"
The situation just now changed in an instant, and he actually couldn't see the reason for it.
"When we escaped from the two Black Rock Giant Pythons, we were already seriously injured … So when we encountered him … We weren't a match for him at all …" the person said with difficulty.
"I see … What about the others?" Old Xin frowned.
"The others all … died tragically on the two Black Rock Giant Pythons …" After saying that, the person also breathed his last.
Hearing this, Old Xin's old face couldn't help but twitch. He didn't expect that he would be the only one left in the end.
He really wanted to continue chasing after Linlong, but he knew that even if he found Linlong, he wouldn't be able to catch up to him. Hence, he could only change his mind and leave this place to return to the Li family.
He activated his bird-type Origin Talent, so he quickly returned to the Li family.
As soon as he returned to the Li family, he went straight to the Yang family's patriarch.
"Old Xin, what happened?" Looking at Old Xin's disheveled appearance, the Yang family's patriarch looked puzzled.
"Patriarch, I'm sorry." After saying that, Old Xin directly knelt on the ground.
Seeing Old Xin like this, the Yang family's patriarch was shocked. He immediately stood up and asked, "Old Xin, what exactly happened?"
He knew that if it wasn't for something big, Old Xin would never be like this.
"Young Master Jiu is dead," Old Xin said.
"What? Jiu 'er is dead?" The Yang family's patriarch's face immediately turned pale.
Yang Jiu was the most talented among his sons, and he was the one he was most optimistic about. Now that he was dead, how could he not be upset?
To him, Yang Jiu's death was like a bolt from the blue.
"Is this true?" He still didn't want to believe it, so he asked again.
"It's absolutely true," Old Xin, who was still kneeling, said with his head lowered.
After taking a deep breath, the Yang family's patriarch temporarily regained his composure. He sat down again and said coldly, "What exactly happened? Old Xin, tell me in detail."
Old Xin immediately said, "I went to the east of Feixue Mountains with Young Master Jiu and a few other level-three beasts to investigate the terrain. In the process, we accidentally found a three-tailed Spirit Fox …"
"Three-tailed Spirit Fox?" A trace of surprise flashed across the Yang family's patriarch's face.
Elder Xin continued, "We quickly surrounded the Three-tailed Spirit Fox. In the process of its escape, I even heavily injured it with a palm strike. However, it still managed to hide nearby. In order to find it, we split up to search for its hiding place. But in the process, an accident happened …"
"A person wearing the Li family's uniform suddenly appeared when Young Master Jiu found the three-tailed Spirit Fox. He was stronger than Young Master Jiu, so he killed Young Master Jiu and snatched the three-tailed Spirit Fox away. When I arrived, I could only see his back …"
"What happened next? You didn't catch up to him?" The Yang family's patriarch asked impatiently.
"I caught up to him. In a panic, he rushed into a cave. I wanted to rush in after him, but there were two Black Rock Pythons above the cave. Moreover, the two Black Rock Pythons didn't seem to notice the person who rushed in. Because of that, I couldn't rush in to deal with that person," Old Xin said.
"From what you said, you let that person escape in the end?" The Yang family's patriarch said with an ugly expression.
"Yes, he escaped in the end," Old Xin said.
"Is that person very strong?" The Yang family's patriarch asked.
"He's only at the peak of a level-three beastmaster …"
Before Old Xin could finish, the Yang family's patriarch roared angrily, "Old Xin, you're a level-four beastmaster, but you let him escape!"
Old Xin hurriedly said, "Patriarch, please calm down. The situation was like this. The others who went with us rushed over, and I immediately asked them to lure the two Black Rock Pythons away. I wanted to take the opportunity to go in and deal with the kid inside. I didn't expect the kid to throw a snake egg at us at such a critical moment …"
"I didn't know it was a trap. I just thought it was some vicious creature, so I immediately slapped it with my palm. That slap destroyed it, and the Black Rock Python that was originally guarding the cave entrance immediately chased after us. That kid took the opportunity to escape from the cave."
"I took advantage of the time when the others were fighting the two Black Rock Pythons to chase after him. What surprised me was that the kid actually devoured the Three-tailed Fox Spirit's innate bloodline in such a short period of time, and because he obtained the Three-tailed Fox Spirit's innate ability, I, a level-four beastmaster, couldn't catch up to him."
"Left with no choice, I could only return. I didn't expect him to return one step ahead of me, and took the opportunity to kill the two people who escaped from the Black Rock Pythons. So, in the end, I was the only one who came back …"
Hearing Elder Xin's words, the Yang family head's face was so gloomy that it could drip water.
After a while, he said, "Elder Xin, it's not your fault, because even if I was there, I would have been tricked by that person."
Speaking up to this point, he raised his head and looked at Elder Xin, "Elder Xin, is that person really a member of the Li family?"
"I don't know, I've never seen him before, I only saw him wearing the Li family's uniform, I'm not sure if he is a member of the Li family," Elder Xin said.
"How old is that person?" The Yang family head asked.
"He looks about eighteen years old," Elder Xin replied.
"What, eighteen years old?" The Yang family head stood up in shock again.
He couldn't help but be surprised that such a young person had the strength of a level-three beastmaster, he had never seen such a monstrous talent in cultivation.
"He looks just that young," Elder Xin said.
"Since when did the Li family have such a genius?" The Yang family head couldn't help but ask.
"I've never heard of any genius in the Yang family," Elder Xin said.
"Guards!" The Yang family head immediately shouted outside.
"What's the matter, Family Head?" Soon, a guard came in.
"Call all the elders and hall masters to the main hall, I want to ask them if they know if there is such a person in the Li family!" The Yang family head immediately ordered.
"Yes!" The guard responded and hurried out.
As for the Yang family head and Elder Xin, they went directly to the Li family's main hall.
Not long after, all the elders and hall masters in the Li family were called over.
"Family Head, what happened?" They all asked when they came in.
"Ninth Young Master is dead!" Elder Xin said.
"What, Ninth Young Master is dead? How could this be? "Hearing these words, these people were all dumbstruck.
Yang Jiu was the son of the Yang family head, the future of the Yang family, and now he was dead, how could they not be surprised?
"What, Ninth Brother is dead?"
A middle-aged man and two young men stood up at the same time and said in surprise.
These three people were the other three sons of the Yang family head. The Yang family head had five other sons, but with their strength, they weren't qualified to enter the main hall at this time.
"That's right," the Yang family head said with a gloomy face.
Hearing this, everyone was silent for a while.
After a while, someone asked, "Family Head, what is going on?"
The Yang family head looked at Elder Xin and said, "Elder Xin, tell us what happened."
"Yes," Elder Xin nodded and explained the situation to Elder Xin.
"What? His strength has reached the peak of level three beastmaster at the age of eighteen, and he was able to obtain the Three-tailed Spirit Fox's innate talent in such a short time!" After listening to Elder Xin, everyone present couldn't help but exclaim.
"This is absolutely true," Elder Xin said.
At this time, the Yang family head said, "The reason why I called you here is to clarify one thing, and that is, did such a genius appear in the Li family in the past two years? Or is there a genius like that among the people they just recruited? "
"I have never heard of such a thing."
The elders looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Elder Yang Hen, why don't you say something?" Then, the Yang family head looked at one of the elders and said.
This Elder Yang Hen was in charge of gathering information about the other three families, so at this time, the Yang family head naturally asked him.
At this time, everyone's gaze was focused on Yang Hen.
Yang Hen shook his head, "Family Head, I have never heard of such a monster in the Li family."
"Then did the Li family recruit such a person recently?" Someone asked.
"No." Yang Hen still shook his head, "During the time when the Li family was recruiting, my people have been investigating around the Li family, but I have never heard of any outstanding talent among them."
"Could it be that this person jumped out from a rock?" Someone couldn't help but say.
"Or, could it be that someone from another faction is pretending to be someone from the Li family, in order to cause conflict between us and the Li family?" Someone guessed.
"There is such a possibility, but I have never heard of such a genius among the other factions." Yang Hen said.
Hearing Yang Hen's words, everyone fell silent.
After a while, someone suddenly looked at Elder Xin, "Elder Xin, did you see what that person looks like?"
"I can roughly remember what he looks like. As long as I see him, I will be able to remember." Elder Xin said.
"That's good. Call the best artist over and ask him to draw according to Elder Xin's instructions. Draw until Elder Xin feels that the portrait resembles that person. At that time, we can use the portrait to search for that person!" The person who spoke immediately said.
"That's a good idea, how could we forget!" Hearing this, everyone nodded their heads in agreement.
"Then call the best artist here!" The Yang family head immediately said.
Very quickly, a artist was brought into the main hall.
After spending more than two hours, the artist finally managed to produce a portrait that Elder Xin felt was suitable for him.
"That's roughly what he looks like." Looking at the last portrait, Elder Xin nodded his head.
"Good, then go to the Northern Chill City to find him according to this portrait!" The Yang family head immediately looked at Yang Hen and ordered.
Naturally, Yang Hen would pass down such an order.
