After experiencing this calamity, Yueru's heart was as dead as ashes. Not long after she woke up, she left without a word.
Xiao Lingyu didn't try to persuade Yueru. He didn't know how either. Even if Yueru had fallen in love with him in the past, he had just killed Yueru's husband.
If not for the fact that Yueru and Qi Hongxuan's relationship wasn't deep, and that Yueru and Qi Hongxuan were only husband and wife in name, Yueru might have viewed Xiao Lingyu as an enemy who had killed her husband.
Looking at Yueru's lonely and frail body, Xiao Lingyu was more or less worried for her.
She was a young lady who had just walked out of a mountain village. First, she had been heartlessly rejected by her sweetheart. Then, she had lost her husband not long after she got married. Now, she even had a murderous heart. How could her frail body withstand such continuous torment?
Since she had already merged with the Murderous Heart, Yue Ru had no other choice in her future cultivation. She could only grit her teeth and continue on like Qi Hongxuan. However, she had one more advantage over Qi Hongxuan, and that was her identity as a medicine master. She could concoct medicine for herself.
Yueru's figure had already disappeared from sight. Xiao Lingyu could only silently wish her well and hope that she could live well and smoothly in the future.
After Yueru left, Xiao Lingyu began to sit cross-legged and meditate. He adjusted his condition and recovered his strength.
Qi Hongxuan's death would definitely anger the Qi Family. If Xiao Lingyu returned to Duhu City, he would definitely be attacked by the Qi Family's Divine King. The housekeeper would probably not deal with this matter for him anymore. The City Lord's Manor would most likely turn a blind eye to the Qi Family's actions.
Since there was nothing in Duhu City that Xiao Lingyu was reluctant to leave, he decided to go to another city after recuperating.
Duhu City was indeed not peaceful now. The sloppy Divine King of the Qi Family had not caught up with Xiao Lingyu. After he returned to the Qi Family, he informed the Qi Family Head that the housekeeper was to blame. He also informed the City Lord Manor of the fact that Xiao Lingyu had brazenly killed Qi Hongxuan in the Qi Family.
According to the rules of Duhu City, apart from the city's arena, private fights were not allowed anywhere else. Xiao Lingyu's actions naturally violated the city's rules.
The City Lord's Manor didn't disrespect for the Qi Family this time and even issued a warrant for Xiao Lingyu.
When the housekeeper heard that Xiao Lingyu had killed Qi Hongxuan, he was rather surprised. However, he soon raised his doubts. First, how could he be sure that Xiao Lingyu hadn't been provoked by Qi Hongxuan? Second, since Xiao Lingyu had attacked in the Qi Family's courtyard, how could he have escaped? Third, Qi Hongxuan had purposely invited Xiao Lingyu to a banquet and Xiao Lingyu had gone alone. If Qi Hongxuan hadn't attacked, how could Xiao Lingyu have dared to act rashly in the Qi Family's courtyard?
Most importantly, Xiao Lingyu was only a member of the Housekeeper's Wildfire. He wasn't really a member of the Housekeeper's Manor. His actions weren't ordered by the Housekeeper. It was just a personal grudge between him and the Qi Family. The Qi Family was making trouble for the Housekeeper.
The Qi Family couldn't refute the Housekeeper's response. However, it was an indisputable fact that Qi Hongxuan had been killed by Xiao Lingyu. It was also a fact that Xiao Lingyu was a high-ranking member of the Housekeeper's Wildfire. It was impossible for the Housekeeper to clear his name with just a few words.
Even the City Lord's Manor, who had always been biased towards the Housekeeper, was pressuring the Housekeeper to take responsibility and assist the City Lord's Manor and the Qi Family in apprehending Xiao Lingyu.
The Housekeeper had no choice but to apologize verbally to the Qi Family and promise to cooperate fully in apprehending Xiao Lingyu.
The Housekeeper felt that Xiao Lingyu couldn't stay in Dou Hu City any longer after committing such a serious crime. He must have escaped far away and wouldn't give the Qi Family a chance to take revenge. Therefore, the Housekeeper didn't need to be tough on Xiao Lingyu.
However, the Qi Family requested the Housekeeper to hand over Xiong Meng and the other three people who had been living in the same room as Xiao Lingyu. They claimed that these four people were Xiao Lingyu's accomplices.
The City Lord's Manor agreed to the Qi Family's request.
The City Lord's Manor also sent someone to the Housekeeper. The person spoke to the head of the Housekeeper in a secret room, "The Qi Family doesn't expect to be able to kill Xiao Lingyu for revenge, but now that things have gotten out of hand, the Qi Family needs to find a way out and a place to vent their anger. It's just four heavenly-god-level mercenaries. I believe the Housekeeper knows what to do. "
Since the City Lord's Manor had said so, the Housekeeper naturally had to compromise.
If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for being too close to Xiao Lingyu. He left after committing a crime, leaving you to take the blame for him.
The Housekeeper then sent a message to Guan Yiyuan, asking him to cooperate with Guan Yichuan and Guan Yishan to apprehend Xiong Meng and the other three and escort them to the City Lord's Manor.
However, the Housekeeper didn't know that Guan Yiyuan and his two brothers had been brainwashed by Miss Jing. Since Xiong Meng and the other three were very close to Miss Jing, the three brothers naturally wouldn't apprehend them.
However, the Housekeeper was very careful. Because there had been too many accidents recently, he actually sent Guan Yiwei to supervise the situation.
Xiong Meng and the other three had just received the news. Before they could escape, Guan Yiwei had already arrived at the entrance of Wildfire's campsite. After all, it was right next to the Housekeeper's Manor.
Guan Yiwei's strength was outstanding, and the campsite was too close to the Housekeeper's Manor. If the three brothers resisted, a large group of Qi Family experts would quickly rush over and none of them would be able to escape.
The three brothers didn't dare act rashly, so they could only escort Xiong Meng and the other three to the City Lord's Manor under Guan Yiwei's supervision.
However, before they left, Guan Yiyuan said to Guan Yichuan, "Stay behind and watch over the campsite. It's an eventful time right now, so one of us has to stay behind."
Guan Yiwei felt that Guan Yiyuan's arrangement was very reasonable, so he naturally didn't suspect anything.
When Guan Yichuan saw that Guan Yiwei and the others had left, he took out a communication bead and sent a message to Xiao Lingyu, explaining what had happened in the city. Although Xiao Lingyu might not receive the message, Guan Yichuan didn't have a good idea of what to do.
Xiao Lingyu had finished recuperating and was about to leave Duhu City, but before she could leave, she received Guan Yichuan's message. She couldn't help but frown.
After a moment of consideration, Xiao Lingyu abruptly got up and resolutely headed for Duhu City.
Although Duhu City might have been surrounded by the City Lord's Manor and the Qi Family, Xiao Lingyu couldn't just stand by and watch Xiong Meng and the others suffer for her sake.
Xiao Lingyu didn't enter the city through the city gates because he would be exposed as soon as he entered. Then, he would attract a large group of Qi Family experts and city guards. He circled to the foot of a secluded city wall, then flew up high. Not only did he climb over the city wall, but he also flew over the city wall's restriction array and finally landed in a desolate forest in the city.
Xiao Lingyu had stayed in Duhu City for a long time. The reason he had climbed over here was because he knew that this was a desolate forest.
After leaving the desolate forest, Xiao Lingyu cast a small disguise spell and adjusted his appearance slightly. Then, he quickly walked towards the City Lord's Manor.
As long as he could intercept Guan Yiwei and the others first, Xiao Lingyu would only need to fight with Guan Yiwei for a moment before Guan Yiyuan and Guan Yishan would be able to move Xiong Meng and the others away. After all, Guan Yiwei wouldn't suspect Guan Yiyuan and Guan Yishan.
Xiao Lingyu knew the route from the Flowing Fire Mercenary Band's campsite to the City Lord's residence. In order to catch up, he travelled at an extremely fast speed, sometimes even leaping high into the air and flying over the heads of the crowd. Although this was against the city rules and had attracted quite a number of city guards, how could those city guards be able to stop or catch up to him?
Fortunately, Xiao Lingyu wasn't too far away from Duhu City, so he didn't waste too much time on the road. Fortunately, the streets of Duhu City were very crowded, so Guan Yiwei and the others couldn't walk too fast. This allowed Xiao Lingyu to catch up with them before Guan Yiwei and the others reached the City Lord's Manor.
After catching up, Xiao Lingyu didn't immediately make a move. Instead, he silently followed for a while. After all, there was still a long way to go before they reached the City Lord's Manor. He didn't need to be too anxious. He had enough time to find the best opportunity to make a move.
When Guan Yiwei and the others reached a very crowded intersection, Xiao Lingyu knew that it was time to make a move. However, before he could make a move, Guan Yiwei and the others stopped by the side of the road because they were stopped by several Divine Monarch cultivators.
These Divine Monarch cultivators looked familiar to Xiao Lingyu. After thinking carefully, he realized that they were from the Qi Clan. One of them was even a steward sent by the City Lord's Manor.
"You can send them here. The City Lord has ordered that these four people don't need to be sent to the City Lord's Manor. Just hand them over to the Qi Clan," the steward said.
Guan Yiwei naturally didn't have any objections. The sooner Xiong Meng and the others were handed over, the sooner he and the steward could get rid of this matter.
Since the steward had already decided to hand over Xiong Meng and the others, he naturally didn't care who they were handed over to. Even if they handed them over to the City Lord's Manor first, Xiong Meng and the others would still be sent to the Qi Clan in the end.
As a result, Xiao Lingyu didn't make a move. If he did, he would definitely be held back by the powerful Guan Yiwei. Guan Yiyuan and Guan Yishan wouldn't be able to move Xiong Meng and the others in front of the Qi Clan's experts.
However, Xiao Lingyu then sent a message to Guan Yiyuan.
At this time, the handover was complete. Guan Yiwei was preparing to leave with Guan Yiyuan and Guan Yishan. Guan Yiyuan took out his own communication pearl and sank his consciousness into it. He frowned and said, "The Patriarch has ordered Guan Yishan and I to escort these four people to the Qi Clan as a show of sincerity."
Guan Yiwei didn't suspect anything. After all, the handover was complete. Anything that happened on the way would have nothing to do with him. Therefore, he nodded and left.
Accompanied by Guan Yiyuan and Guan Yishan, the Qi Clan's Divine Monarchs escorted Xiong Meng and the others to the Qi Clan's courtyard.
Xiao Lingyu silently followed behind and took out his communication pearl to send a message to Guan Yichuan.
After receiving Xiao Lingyu's message, Guan Yichuan reorganized the Wildfire mercenaries in the camp. He then ordered them to leave the camp and leave the city as quickly as possible.
