No matter what, the Wang family had obviously given up on the family compound and were preparing to escape. If Xiao Lingyu waited any longer, he might miss this golden opportunity. He did not hesitate any longer and immediately rushed towards the Qi family compound.
Just as he rushed to a side door of the Wang Family's courtyard, a group of Wang Family members suddenly rushed out from the side door. Among them, there were a few whose clothes were clearly different from the others. One of them was a middle-aged woman, one of them was a young man, and there were also two maids. The rest were all muscular men with sharp blades in their hands.
It was obvious that the woman and the young man were not ordinary members of the Wang family. The young man was only an early-stage Heavenly God, while the woman was an expert close to the late-stage Heavenly God.
The Wang family was also a rather large family. There must be many young masters in the Wang family. This should only be one of them. Xiao Lingyu was not sure if the Lily of Creation was with this pair of mother and son.
"It doesn't matter if they have it or not. I'll capture them first. Even if they don't have it, I won't be able to get it out of them. At least I can use them to threaten the Wang family."
Thinking up to this point, Xiao Lingyu made his move. In order to be safe, he even invited the foodie to come out.
In the process of advancing, he also took out the Divine artifact, the Yin-Yang Mirror. Four illusory monsters rapidly rushed into the group of people.
The group of people had not seen Xiao Lingyu's moves before, and they did not know what the four illusory monsters were. They were originally escaping in a panic, and like birds startled by the twang of a bow, they naturally retreated a few steps when they encountered a sudden change. Then, they poured all the attacks they had prepared onto the four illusory monsters.
The four illusory monsters were hit repeatedly, but they were not injured at all. However, their attacks instantly sent the four burly men flying.
At this moment, Xiao Lingyu and the foodie had already closed in. The four illusory monsters and the foodie's attack caused the enemy to be unable to maintain their formation. Instantly, it became a mess. The Wang family guards who were already afraid even chose to flee at this moment.
The only ones who could still stand together now were the mother and son.
"Who are you? Why are you attacking my Wang family members?" The woman asked loudly.
"I only want one thing. If Madam is willing to hand it over, I will leave immediately." Xiao Lingyu slowly approached as he spoke.
"What is it?" The woman asked.
"The Lily of Creation," Xiao Lingyu replied calmly.
Foodie and the four monsters surrounded Xiao Lingyu, helping him block the attacks from the Wang family's guards.
The woman frowned slightly and said with certainty, "The Wang family does have a Lily of Creation, but it's not with us. It's with the eldest young master of the Wang family."
"How do I know if you're telling the truth?" Xiao Lingyu looked doubtful.
"I can swear on my soul!" The woman said.
"If you swear on your soul and tell me the whereabouts of Young Master Wang, I can promise to let you go," Xiao Lingyu said as she stroked her chin.
The woman was very cooperative. She immediately swore an oath and told Xiao Lingyu that Young Master Wang had left through the back door 15 minutes ago. She even showed Young Master Wang's image to Xiao Lingyu so that he could identify him.
The oath didn't backfire, which proved that the woman was telling the truth. Since they didn't have the Lily of Creation, and Xiao Lingyu had no enmity with them, he didn't mind letting them go. He immediately rode Foodie to the back door of the Wang family.
The reason why the woman was so cooperative was probably because she didn't have a good relationship with Young Master Wang. In any case, when a family was big, even if they had the same surname, there would be open and covert fighting. There were too many such things, and Xiao Lingyu couldn't be bothered to think about it.
Young Master Wang naturally wouldn't wait for Xiao Lingyu at the back door of the Wang family courtyard. After Xiao Lingyu arrived at the back door, he began to walk towards the city gate.
If the three great clans failed, the city would no longer be safe for them. If they wanted to escape, they would definitely think of leaving the city first.
Xiao Lingyu chased all the way to the city gate, but he didn't see Young Master Wang. Instead, he found that the city gate was tightly shut and there were city guards standing guard.
This made Xiao Lingyu a little puzzled. Kun City's jurisdiction was now in the hands of the Bai family, and the Bai family had also made a move against the Qi family. The three great clans' defeat was already certain, but the Qi family's city guards didn't open the city gate to let the three great clans escape. Instead, they closed the city gate tightly. This was a little puzzling.
The city wall was very tall. When Xiao Lingyu first arrived at Kun City, he found that he couldn't even jump over it with all his strength. Moreover, there were many restrictions and array formations on the city wall. After many years of careful installation, the four great clans definitely wouldn't allow cultivators to enter Kun City without going through the city gate.
Young Master Wang wasn't a Divine Monarch expert, so he couldn't jump over the city wall. If he wasn't dead, then he was definitely still in the city.
Looking at the city guards standing guard at the city gate, Xiao Lingyu turned around and walked into the city.
Kun City was too big. It was easy to hide a person, but it was too difficult for Xiao Lingyu to find Young Master Wang by himself.
However, Qi Hongxuan's reminder was not a lie. It was also useful. If Xiao Lingyu had not observed the Qi Family for a while, he would have left the Qi Family and come to the Wang Family. Then, it would have been difficult for the young master of the Wang Family to escape.
The battle should've been over, but Kun City was very turbulent. Cultivators wearing bright armor could be seen everywhere, and there were also cultivators running around in panic.
What made Xiao Lingyu even more puzzled was that the Bai family's city guards were actually working together with the Qi family's city guards to kill the Kong and Wang family's people.
After observing for a while, he finally understood that the Bai Family had actually joined forces with the Qi Family. Before this battle broke out, the Bai Family had always been acting with the Kong and Wang Families. When the battle really broke out, the Bai Family suddenly turned around and helped the Qi Family deal with the Kong and Wang Families, who were caught off guard, causing the situation to become like this.
No wonder the Qi family didn't compromise. They had already planned this.
The Wang family's main business was their financial strength, but their martial strength wasn't much.
Although the Kong family's martial strength was first, their trump card, the Raging Flame Group, had suffered heavy losses. Moreover, when Xiao Lingyu was in seclusion in the forest, Qi Hongrui and Qi Hongqing cooperated with the Qi family's experts to effectively kill the Kong family's experts. This was one of the reasons why the Kong family was so anxious to attack the Qi family.
The Kong and Wang Clans had never expected that the Bai Clan, who had been so confident before the battle, would actually turn around and help the Qi Clan. It was precisely because the Bai Clan had suddenly made a move against them that the Kong and Wang Clans had been caught off guard, causing the Kong and Wang Clans to suffer such a huge blow. It was only because of this that the Qi and Bai Clans, who had long been prepared, were able to stabilize themselves and launch a counterattack.
In short, the Kong and Wang Clans had lost, and the best choice for them now was to take the future of their clans and all the treasures their clans had collected over the years out of the city.
However, with the Bai family controlling the city's defenses, the Kong and Wang families were left with only a few scattered soldiers. Under the pursuit of the Qi and Bai families, it was impossible for them to gather together and attack the city gates. Wanting to break out was harder than ascending to the heavens.
As for the Divine Lord powerhouses of the four great families, ordinary cultivators wouldn't be able to see them. However, from the four bright lights in the sky above Kun City, as well as the thunderous sounds of battle, it was easy to guess that the four Divine Lord powerhouses were still fighting in the night sky against the strong winds and heavy rain.
The four families each had a Divine Monarch expert. This was the main reason why they were able to become one of the four great families of Kun City. Without a Divine Monarch expert, how could they become one of the four great families of Kun City?
In truth, only the results of a battle between Divine Lord masters could affect the overall situation. In the current battle within the city, the Qi and Bai Families had won. But, if their Divine Lord masters were defeated, then the Kong and Wang Families would have a chance to make a comeback.
Perhaps because they were waiting for their Divine Monarch experts to win, the Kong and Wang families were only temporarily hiding in the city and weren't in a hurry to attack the city gates.
Xiao Lingyu searched the streets of Kun City for the Wang family's young master. Naturally, he was stopped by the cultivators of the Qi and Bai families. However, his speed was fast and his body's defense was high. If one wasn't a Divine Monarch expert, they wouldn't be able to injure him. He ran through the streets without any fear.
Until dawn, Xiao Lingyu still hadn't found the Wang family's young master.
Kun City was still in a state of chaos. Killing could be seen everywhere. However, the rain had stopped and the wind and thunder had disappeared.
It was as if the rain was specifically used to wash away the blood and the wind was used to blow away the smell of blood.
Xiao Lingyu walked around Kun City. The Kong and Wang family's courtyards had been razed to the ground. None of the residents and shops dared to open their doors. There were only gusts of cold wind on the streets, as well as groups of Bai family's city guards and Qi family's guards.
Although the shops and residents weren't willing to open their doors, when the cultivators of the Qi and Bai families knocked on their doors and demanded a search, they had no choice but to cooperate.
Xiao Lingyu wasn't a member of the Qi and Bai families. However, he could move freely because no one could stop him.
Xiao Lingyu went straight to the Qi Clan's courtyard and soon found Qi Hongxuan. Qi Hongxuan was waiting for him.
"Brother Xiao, how did it go?" Qi Hongxuan wasn't surprised that Xiao Lingyu could appear in front of him. Instead, he asked with a smile.
"It didn't go well. Is Yueru alright?" Xiao Lingyu shook his head and asked.
"She's fine. She didn't even get scared." Qi Hongxuan replied casually.
"What's the result of the battle above?" Xiao Lingyu asked as he pointed to the sky.
Qi Hongxuan knew that Xiao Lingyu was asking about the battle between the Divine Monarchs. He said casually, "One dead and one heavily injured."
Looking at Qi Hongxuan's expression, it was obvious that the casualties weren't from the Qi and Bai families.
"Then I'll have to congratulate Brother Qi."
Xiao Lingyu pretended to congratulate him. Then, he said, "I have a presumptuous request …"
