South Fu Province's capital, Wanxi City.
Xiao Ying sat on a stone bench in the courtyard with a cold expression. Her adoptive parents sat opposite her with a nervous expression.
One of her adoptive parents was a middle-aged man with a black goatee. He looked no different from those skinny teachers. The other one was a slightly plump lady. She was dressed in red and wore a large pearl necklace.
There were two maids standing around the three of them. They looked nervous as well and their eyes kept drifting outside the courtyard walls.
"Xiao Ying … Who are the people from Moon Star Gate outside …?" The goatee asked softly with a trembling voice.
Xiao Ying glanced at the courtyard door. She could hear the patrolling footsteps of Moon Star Gate's guards.
"I'm not sure." She felt guilty. She knew that she had implicated her adoptive parents.
"Moon Star Gate's Young Master will be here soon. He wants to invite you to Moon Star Gate," her adoptive mother said softly.
"There's no hurry. I'll go with them later. Don't worry. Father, mother, you'll be fine." Xiao Ying forced a smile. The most important thing for her now was to ensure her adoptive parents' safety and to prevent Southern Sky Gate's people from coming to rescue her.
This was a trap!
She was one hundred percent sure since the beginning. Perhaps they didn't know that she was the Gate Master of Southern Sky Gate. However, they must have known that she was related to them. Using her as bait to lure out the rest of the Gate's people was very likely to work.
Although Xiao Ying was young, her mind was unusually mature. Facing such a dangerous situation, she couldn't think of a way to get out of it no matter how hard she racked her brains. Moreover, Little Yu was also captured. If she wanted to save Little Yu, it would be …
"If there's no other way, we'll pretend to submit to that person. We'll find a chance to escape depending on the situation," her adoptive father said softly.
Xiao Ying smiled bitterly. It would be great if it was that easy to escape. She had used her five senses as a Grandmaster of Combat to eavesdrop on the idle chatter of the guards outside. She knew that the provincial capital was now a huge prison. The Young Divine Master had gathered all his forces and manpower. There were more than ten Grandmaster of Combat experts. It was far beyond their imagination.
"Bam!"
The courtyard door was slammed open.
Two strong men from Moon Star Gate walked in.
"Miss Xiao Ying, our Young Master invites you."
The strong man on the left said loudly.
Xiao Ying's heart skipped a beat. She stood up and comforted her parents softly before she followed the two burly men out of the courtyard.
What surprised her was that Xiao Yu, who had been taken away, was standing at the door with red and swollen eyes. She had tried to commit suicide but failed. As an ordinary person, under the surveillance of so many experts, it was impossible for her to commit suicide even if she wanted to.
At this moment, there were no less than twenty people from the Moon Star Gate surrounding them. There was also a white-robed elder waiting coldly at the side.
"Please. Miss Xiao Ying. "
The elder said calmly.
Xiao Ying glanced at him and pulled Xiaoyu's hand with a cold expression, sitting on the moon-white palanquin waiting.
"Rise!"
The sedan bearers lifted the palanquin and began to move quickly, specifically choosing remote and quiet places to travel.
About ten minutes later, the sedan chair stopped again, and the door curtain was pulled open by the sedan chair bearers.
Xiao Ying was wearing a white dress that matched the color of the sedan. She pulled Xiao Yu out with a cold face. In front of her was another spacious courtyard, but it was not where the Moon Star Gate was located.
She had been to the Moon Star Gate and seen the courtyard there. It was not like this at all.
There was a fake mountain and a pond in this courtyard. Golden Rainbow Carps were reared in the pond and were swimming leisurely.
There was a blue-haired young man in a white suit standing by the pond. He was gently scattering the fish feed in his hand and feeding the carps with a smile on his face. This person was not from the Moon Star Gate at all!
The moment she saw this person, Xiao Ying's pupils shrank as she recognized this person's identity.
Jessian!
The Young Divine Master of the Immortal Palace, the real culprit who gathered the Southern Sky Gate's annihilation team this time!
Almost immediately, Xiao Ying felt that something was wrong.
There was not a single outsider around this courtyard. Even the sedan bearers who had brought her here had left quietly. With her sharp five senses, there was not a single person within a radius of a hundred meters. There were only the three of them.
Jessian … He was purposely giving them a chance, giving the Southern Sky Gate a chance to rescue them. It was not a trap, nor was there an ambush. This was an open scheme, an open scheme to completely destroy them.
He wanted to fight against the entire Southern Sky Gate's forces with his own strength!
He openly withdrew all his men and gave the Southern Sky Gate a chance to surround him and rescue the hostages.
However, instinctively, Xiao Ying felt that something was wrong. Jessian was rumored to not be such an open and upright person. His ambush must be hidden in a deeper place.
"You think I'm waiting for you?" Jessian smiled. "You're wrong."
"I don't know what you're talking about," Xiao Ying said calmly.
Jessian was unconcerned.
"This is a place prepared for that guy who suddenly appeared."
Thud!
The sound of soft footsteps suddenly came from a dark corner of the courtyard.
At the same time, black-clothed figures slowly walked out from the shadows around the courtyard.
However, Xiao Ying recognized them one by one. Aunt Nora, Teacher Yue Jian who had rushed over from the Azure Continent, Uncle Lin Feng, and Sister Ariel. All the remaining Southern Sky Gate experts had come over.
However, only Aunt Nora and Teacher Yue Jian were Grandmasters of Combat. The rest …
Her heart sank to the bottom.
Teacher and the rest did not know that Jessian had gathered the entire killing team! Without any information from her, they were almost completely blind.
The masked men from the Southern Sky Gate in black started to move, surrounding Jessian in the middle.
"Jessian, surrender!" Aunt Nora held two swords in her hands and looked nervous. However, with so many people present, even if it was the legendary Young Divine Master, they should still have a chance.
She and Yue Jian were considered strong among the Grandmasters of Combat and belonged to the Liquified Aura Stage. Young Divine Master should belong to the Solidified Aura Stage. The difference was only one level. They should have a chance if they were surrounded.
She had fought with Solidified Aura Stage experts before and there was a big difference between them. Young Divine Master was still young and definitely could not have reached a high level.
Jessian smiled slightly.
"All of you can come at me together."
Before he finished speaking, he raised his right hand and blocked in front of his body.
Bam!
A black whip leg suddenly appeared. The person's legs were linked together like two whips spinning into an oval shape and piercing towards his temples from both sides.
With two light popping sounds, Jessian's fingers tapped lightly and accurately on the person's ankles. He turned around and two cold stars silently flew out from his body, forcing Nora, who was attacking from the other side, to retreat. In an instant, his figure flashed backward, leaving behind a series of afterimages.
Chi!
He raised his right hand and a silver line suddenly shot out. With a clang, the silver line exploded and turned into a large cluster of silver cold stars, exploding in all directions in the courtyard. In an instant, they flew everywhere like raindrops. On the walls, the floor, the pool, and the rockery, there were densely packed silver steel needles everywhere.
The Southern Sky Gate members avoided the hidden weapons and were about to give chase when they realized that Jessian was not at his original position.
Ugh! With a groan, one of the men in black held his shoulder and retreated hurriedly, his figure staggering.
"Southern Sky Gate! That's all there is to it, hahaha!! "Jessian's figure turned into a thin shadow and leaped in the courtyard as fast as lightning. Specks of silver light flashed and disappeared, hitting one of the men in black every time.
In just a few minutes, four of the men in black were injured. Nora was in an even worse state because she still had to protect Xiao Ying and Xiao Yu. Her back and shoulders were hit by two flying needles.
Fortunately, there was no strange feeling on the needles, so the injury was not serious.
During the battle, the large group of soldiers in yellow military uniforms unknowingly surrounded the courtyard. One by one, the Grandmasters of Combat from the encirclement team appeared on the surrounding walls. Surrounded by martial arts and guns, there were more than ten mortars aimed at the school team not far away.
An officer in yellow military uniform strode into the courtyard accompanied by a Grandmaster of Combat. Other than that, there was also the Moon Star Gate Master and two elders, as well as the Young Gate Master Yue Annam.
The Southern Sky Gate members were forced to gather in the middle, with more than ten guns pointed at them.
"Young Divine Master is indeed wise! He predicted that they would definitely come to save the day! "The officer in yellow laughed and praised. "These remnants of the Southern Sky Gate have committed crimes everywhere, killing and arson, committing all kinds of crimes. Young Divine Master has really made a great contribution to the security of my district by being able to catch all of them today!"
"Officer Lin, you're too kind." A few people gathered behind Jessian and responded with a smile. There were a total of thirteen Grandmasters of Combat present. Including the Moon Star Gate, they were the strongest force in the three provinces. Trying to break out of the encirclement under such strength was no different from a fool's dream.
"If it weren't for my previous scruples, the Southern Sky Gate wouldn't have survived until now." He glanced at the wounded men in black contemptuously. "Catching all of them in one fell swoop with just a little trick, there's not a single bit of resistance at all …" Boom!!!
Suddenly, outside the encirclement, a black flowing light pierced through like a single blade, piercing through the large group of soldiers. With a boom, it broke through the wall and landed in the courtyard.
"You didn't appear until the very last moment, this can't be considered a rescue, can it?" A delicate young girl's voice rang out from the dust cloud.
"As long as you've achieved your goal." Another man's voice rang out.
A large number of gun barrels rang out. Dozens of soldiers looked nervous, knowing that a top-notch Grandmaster of Combat had arrived.
The officer in yellow quietly retreated a few steps, allowing the Grandmasters of Combat behind him to shield him.
The Grandmasters of Combat beside the Young Divine Master all looked solemn, knowing that a top-notch Grandmaster had arrived. Although they were mentally prepared, they were still somewhat nervous when faced with such a situation.
"Witch Lola, are you going to interfere?" Jessian's expression changed slightly.
"Interfere?" Lola laughed delicately. "I wouldn't dare to disturb the Divine General's mood."
The dust cloud dispersed, gradually revealing the silhouettes of the people within.
The Witch was wearing a short black silk skirt, obviously the focus of attention. However, at this moment, her presence seemed to be completely attracted by another golden-haired man.
It was a handsome man with shoulder-length blonde hair. His expression was calm, his eyes were wine-red, and his body seemed to be surrounded by a faint blue mist.
The people from the Southern Sky Gate who were in the middle of the encirclement suddenly felt their hearts skip a beat, and Lola quietly loosened her grip on something in her hand.
"Too weak." The man's gaze fell on the people from the Southern Sky Gate.
"Indeed, too weak …" Jessian said with a smile, but his expression suddenly changed. The golden-haired man's face appeared in front of him as if he had teleported.
Psst!!
There was a pain between his brows, and he stood rooted to the ground in a daze. A stream of blood burst out from the back of his head, shooting into the wall behind him like an arrow.
Wisps of cold air spread out from the two of them.
"The Eye of Ten Thousand Thoughts … How nostalgic."
Garon gently retracted his finger, and dug out a bloody eyeball from between Jessian's brows.
"The Divine Master … will not … let you go …"
Bang.
Jessian's corpse fell straight to the ground.
The entire place was dead silent.
