< Today's second night watch! >
"What? You're not convinced? Then you can catch up with them, and take back the Xuan Dan. Only you have the guts to do so! " Solitary Eagle smiled, taking pleasure in other people's misfortune, "Oh, that's right! Maybe the Great Master Shi will come across the Eldest Brother. Then, he'll be able to leave his name in the annals of history …"
Shi Changxiao tensed up as soon as he heard the word 'Eldest Brother'. He flew into a rage, and fiercely roared, "Shut your eagle mouth! You'll die if you don't say a few words! "
It must be known that Shi Changxiao was a great master of the Mysterious Arts. He was also one of the 'Eight Great Masters'. So, no one could've imagined that he would suddenly burst into foul language. Moreover, he was cursing another Great Master! This curse caused everyone to raise their eyebrows. Could it be that the flames of war that had just subsided be reignited?
Contrary to everyone's expectations, the flames of war didn't reignite!
Shi Chang Xiao's words would've provoked a strong reaction from the Solitary Falcon in the past, and the two of them would've immediately engaged in a fierce battle, but this time, the Solitary Falcon didn't get angry at all, and instead started to laugh heartily; in fact, it seemed as if he was laughing to his heart's content.
The remaining people stood there thoughtfully. It was hard to tell what they were thinking. But, there wasn't much disappointment on their faces. In fact, they were even taking pleasure in other people's misfortune. [Even the 'Eight Great Masters' have fallen. So, what about me? We won't lose face!]
The other Great Master's disciple, Lei Jian Hong, and his fellow disciples were gathered under a big tree. On one hand, they were sheltering from the rain. On the other hand, they were planning to temporarily avoid the sharp edge. Among the ten people, six were already injured. Their bloodstains were everywhere. The sixth disciple was seriously injured. In fact, he was still in a coma.
"The Xuan Core is gone, how do you calculate it? Brother Li will certainly be very disappointed. " Lei Jian Hong sighed and said, "Who would've thought that such a strong force like ours would be useless in this fight …"
"There's nothing we can do about it. Who would've thought that there would actually be two great Supreme Beings here at the same time? Other than Master personally taking action, I believe there's absolutely no way to change this result. Eldest Senior Brother, you don't have to worry about it."
The young woman behind him slowly said, "Besides, even the two Great Masters and the Silver Blizzard City have been fooled. So, what about us?" She had clearly lowered her voice as she said this.
"But Sixth Junior Brother looks like this now … Junior Brother Li still wants him to check on Jun Moxie's movements. What should we do?" Lei Jian Hong frowned as he looked at the unconscious Junior Brother in front of him. There was a look of heartache on his face, and his mind was in a mess.
"We can only ask Junior Brother Li to find another capable person. The Grand Preceptor's residence is filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. It shouldn't be a difficult matter to find someone else," the woman said. "If there really isn't a suitable person, then I'll be in charge."
"That's the only way." Lei Jian Hong sighed and frowned, "In fact, I'm most interested in finding out who the two people who obtained the Xuan Dan are. How can they be so valiant? I believe that the number of people with such cultivation can be counted on one's fingers. How come I don't have any impression of them? What's even more strange is that Solitary Eagle and Shi Changxiao didn't fall into a disadvantageous position. So, why didn't they pursue them? Solitary Eagle didn't pursue them. After all, his original intention wasn't to obtain the Xuan Dan. But, Shi Changxiao didn't pursue them. This is very puzzling. If he didn't really want to obtain the Xuan Dan, then why did he fight to the death … "
"Senior Brother is right. I believe that the strength of those two people is inferior to that of Solitary Eagle and Shi Changxiao. But, they're certainly on the same level as Shen Xuan. We may not know such experts, but we certainly haven't heard of them. Their origins are truly unimaginable! "
The woman's willowy eyebrows wrinkled as she doubtfully said, "But, why does it seem that Shi Changxiao is afraid of these two people? Perhaps there's someone behind them that Shi Changxiao can't afford to provoke?"
"Is there really someone in this world that the Eight Great Masters don't dare to provoke?" Lei Jian Hong frowned.
Naturally, none of his fellow disciples present could answer this question.
However, his words had already attracted the attention of Jun Moxie. He had been hiding nearby when he had heard that they were Li Youran's fellow disciples. Jun Dashao's hands had already been itching to get rid of them. And, he had also heard that Li Youran had ordered them to keep an eye on him. Jun Dashao couldn't help but feel his murderous intent overflowing.
The rain had finally subsided a little.
"Imperial Tutor Shi, Solitary Eagle, we have offended the Silver Blizzard City today. If we are fated to meet again, we three brothers will prepare some fragrant tea as an apology!" The Third Elder took a step forward and said in a clear voice, "We three brothers will take our leave if the two Great Masters don't have anything else to say."
The shadows of people swayed in the distance as he spoke. Several groups of people had already left one after another. It could be seen that these people belonged to the major families of the city. In fact, some of them were even part of the army. These people were the latecomers, and had been lying in wait. It was obvious that Xuan Dan was hopeless. They had been drenched in the rain for half a night in vain. So, they returned home one after another.
Shi Changxiao crossed his hands behind his back. He didn't even look at those people who had left. He indifferently said, "Every man for himself, and the heavens will destroy him. You three Elders don't need to take it to heart. The Silver Blizzard City's Snow Tea is of the highest quality. Maybe we'll have a cup of it someday. "
The three of them chuckled and flew up to join the other four. Then, they slowly walked away.
A long and loud whistle was heard. It was the Solitary Eagle. He flew away like a divine eagle. He didn't even greet them. In fact, he was only a small black dot in the distance. His voice could be heard from afar, "The Silver Blizzard City's people are trying to fool me with a cup of tea. I'm not happy. Tell Han Feng Xue that I'll come and find him! Lei Wu Bei's disciples, I'll be waiting for him to come and cause trouble for me! "
His voice was still echoing in the air, but he had already disappeared without a trace.
"Solitary Eagle, pay attention to any news from that side," Shi Changxiao hurriedly said. He didn't know if the Solitary Eagle had heard him, but no sound came back.
Fei Mengchen chuckled and waved her hand. Then, she leisurely walked away. He had traveled thousands of miles from the Yu Tang Empire to Tian Xiang City. One of the main reasons he had come here was to find the Xuan Dan. But, the Xuan Dan had disappeared. And, it seemed as if he didn't care about it at all. He had left in a carefree manner. He had lived up to his reputation as a wise man.
Shi Changxiao looked up to the sky and sighed. He thought, [I'll have to find Yun Bie Chen and Li Jue Tian to discuss countermeasures if they're the ones who have left. The more he thought about it, the more worried he became. And, the more he thought about it. The Xuan Dan had almost been within his reach. But, it had been gone. And, he couldn't help but feel disappointed and frustrated.
"Sovereign." A Tian Xuan expert stood respectfully in front of Shi Changxiao.
"You go back to the Heavenly Bestowment City. There's no need for you here. This Old Man has something to do. I'll return in a moment, "Shi Changxiao pondered for a long time. Then, he said.
"Yes!" The six respectfully accepted the order. Then, four of them helped the two injured men up. They fiercely glared at Lei Wu Bei's disciples. Then, they saluted to bid farewell to Shi Changxiao, and disappeared into the heavy curtain of rain.
Shi Changxiao clasped his hands behind his back. He slowly paced a few steps in the field. His thin figure seemed lonely in the heavy rain. He looked desolate and helpless.
He suddenly sighed, and waved his hand. A white light shot out from his hand, and fell into Lei Jian Hong's hand. Shi Changxiao's body flashed a few times. The first time he flashed, he was already thirty meters away. The next time he flashed, his silhouette had become blurred, and then disappeared …
Lei Jian Hong focused his eyes, and saw a small jade bottle in his hand. A few words were written on its surface — Resurrection Liquid! He couldn't help but feel overjoyed. He was about to open his mouth to express his gratitude when Shi Changxiao disappeared without a trace.
This' Resurrection Liquid 'was Shi Changxiao's secret medicine. It might not be able to bring the dead back to life, but it was a miraculous medicine. The Sixth Brother's dantian would've been damaged, and he would've been crippled. But, he would've been able to preserve his life with this medicine.
Lei Jian Hong hastily called out to his fellow disciples. They carefully lifted the unconscious Sixth Brother's body, and were about to open the jade bottle. Suddenly, a great sense of foreboding arose in their hearts. Lei Jian Hong was Lei Wu Bei's first disciple. His body flashed, and he narrowly avoided the fatal blow.
Several pitiful screams echoed.
The four people who had gathered together started to bleed from their noses and mouths. They fell forward without uttering a single sound.
Each of them had a dainty throwing knife inserted deep into their backs. Only the handle of the knife was left exposed. It seemed that the knives had pierced their hearts.
One knife to take their lives … one knife to end their lives!
It was no wonder that the four of them had died without uttering a single sound.
Three Earth Xuan experts and a junior disciple of Tian Xuan had lost their lives at the same time.
"Brother!!!" Lei Jian Hong stretched out his hand to check their breathing. His body suddenly stiffened. His eyes widened, and he frantically jumped up. "Who is it? Who is it? Come out now! You're hiding in the dark. What kind of son of a bitch is this? Come out and fight with your grandpa if you have the guts! Come out! Come out … Come out! ~ ~ ~ "
Lei Jian Hong shouted furiously. He cursed in all directions. His eyes had already turned blood-red. His mind seemed to have sunk into a half-crazed state. He quickly ran in all directions, and searched everywhere. But, he couldn't find even the shadow of a person. Then, he suddenly fell to the ground, and burst into tears.
The other four people also turned pale with fright at this sudden turn of events. They all rushed over and wailed loudly.
The five of them carefully searched the area, but couldn't find any trace of the enemy. They had never expected that only one of their ten brothers and sisters would be seriously injured when they had fought against so many experts of Tian Xuan. They had even intervened in Shen Xuan's battle. But, they hadn't expected that four of them would be killed after being caught off guard.
Lei Jian Hong's eyes were red. He pulled out the throwing knife from his ninth disciple's body, and carefully observed it. He then gnashed his teeth and said, "I've never seen this kind of throwing knife before. It must've been the weapon of the mastermind! We'll kill it as long as we see it again. We'll avenge our brothers!! "
"We'll avenge this enmity!" the four people shouted at the same time. Their grief and indignation couldn't be any greater.
Suddenly, the woman cried out in alarm, "Where are the other three throwing knives?" Everyone turned around, and looked at each other in dismay. They were stunned. The ice-cold rainwater had mercilessly poured into their necks after they had withdrawn their Xuan Qi defense. Everyone felt a chill from the depths of their hearts.
In that short moment, the flying daggers on the other three had already disappeared, leaving behind only a bloody wound on their bodies!
Everyone looked at each other in dismay. They felt their blood run cold.
