"What did you say?!"
In an instant, Chu Wanqing's face paled.
Over the past year …
Other than conserving their strength and accumulating more power, the Chu Family would regularly send people out of the secret realm of the ancestral land to Frost Dragon City in disguise.
On one hand, it was to make necessary purchases.
On the other hand, it was to find out the whereabouts of Chu Yuanfeng and the others.
A year ago, in order to buy time for the Chu Family team to move, Chu Yuanfeng and the other senior members of the family had all stayed in Cloud City to attract the public's attention.
That was not the case.
The number of people who had chased after the Chu Family was definitely many times more.
But no matter what, Chu Wanqing had never thought that she would suddenly receive such grievous news!
"How could it be … how could it be …"
She muttered absentmindedly, her body swaying slightly. Chu Wanqing's gaze suddenly focused as she looked at the branch family member. "Can you confirm the authenticity of the news?"
The person's expression was solemn as he slowly shook his head. "I only heard about the two people I met. As for the network, although there was news, there was not a single clear image."
With the network's development, there should have been an image quickly once this news broke out.
But up until now, there were only a few images on the network, and most of them had been proven to be fake. There were only a few blurry images, and it was difficult to identify the real person in the images.
"I understand. You can go first."
After a moment, Chu Wanqing's expression was uncertain as she spoke in a low voice.
"Also, before getting my permission, do not tell anyone about this!"
"Yes, Young Miss."
After the person left, Chu Wanqing had just removed the restriction when she saw a youth in white standing silently behind her.
"Mister Chen … you've come out of seclusion?"
Her frosty face suddenly thawed like an iceberg, revealing a smile.
Chen Xiao nodded, the flickering light in his eyes slowly fading. He smiled. "Actually, I came out of seclusion half a month ago. After that, I even forged some weapons, which delayed a lot of time."
"What happened just now …" The young girl revealed a hint of hesitation.
"I already know all about it."
With his hands behind his back, Chen Xiao's expression was as calm as water. He said, "The Lin family's scheme is indeed quite good. Regardless of whether or not they capture the culprit, as long as the Chu family receives the news, they will definitely not remain indifferent."
Once the Chu Family sent people to rescue them, what awaited them would be an impenetrable inescapable net!
As for whether they had captured the culprit or not, it was not important to the Lin Family at all.
As long as they could lure Chu tribesmen out of the desolate northern plains, that was enough.
"But whether it's true or not, I have to go."
Without any hesitation, Chu Wanqing's pretty face turned solemn and her eyes were filled with killing intent as she spoke word by word.
This had nothing to do with her own safety. It was because her father and elders might be trapped in the Lin family!
"I'll go with you."
Chen Xiao smiled as his eyes lit up. "It just so happens that my new weapon has been refined. Let's use the Lin Family to test the waters."
After inheriting a brand new martial arts concept, even he was looking forward to seeing how powerful this weapon was!
Chu Wanqing was slightly stunned. The coldness in her eyes instantly melted. It was unknown what she thought of, but her pretty face blushed.
"Mister Chen … many thanks."
"No need to thank me." Chen Xiao laughed, "After all, you were the one who saved me back then. More importantly, I don't like the Lin Family."
The path of the martial arts focused on essence, qi, and spirit.
Ever since he had descended on the Cloud Sea Star, many battles had been initiated by the Lin Family while Chen Xiao had been passively retaliated.
This was completely not in line with his style of doing things.
Only a battle to his heart's content would allow him to express his feelings and truly understand his thoughts!
Kindness and enmity must be repaid. This was Chen Xiao's creed.
"There's no time to lose. Let's go now."
His deep eyes seemed to be filled with chaotic mist, emitting a terrifying aura.
… …
In the end.
Other than Chu Wanqing, there were three other people who set off with Chen Xiao.
Chu Yueqi, Chu Fangfei, and Yan Di.
The first two had followed because their martial talents were rather high. Coincidentally, the Sacred Sun Sect's recruitment was approaching, and they wanted to fight for that sliver of possibility!
If they could be accepted by the Sacred Sun Sect, they would have some more confidence when facing the Lin Family.
As for Yan Di's reason, it was even simpler.
"The Lin Family must pay with blood!"
The fierce eyes of this famous white-haired swordsman flickered with a deep, crazy, intense emotion.
He wanted to take revenge for his dead family!
… …
Frost Dragon Ancient City.
A year's time had not brought about any obvious changes to this thousand-year-old ancient city.
Most people's lives were still the same as before.
The only difference was that …
In the original location of the Black Fragrance Medicine Pavilion stood an ancient, solemn palace. This was the residence of Frost Dragon City's new lord!
The previous lord's manor had been abandoned and all the servants had been dismissed. Not long after, it had become completely deserted.
Only a few wanderers would occasionally come here to pick up scraps or spend a night there.
However, almost everyone knew that …
The new lord was not a member of the Lin Family, but a mysterious expert called Meng Bin!
"Medicine God Palace … Meng Bin?"
Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes, a sharp light flashing through them.
The fat passerby who answered the question nodded when he heard that. He chuckled and said, "Little Brother, everyone knows about this. Not only is the new City Lord powerful, his background is also astonishing. Even the experts of the Lin Clan are very respectful to him."
A year's time passed.
The popularity of the bounty had already cooled down greatly.
Coupled with the fact that the four's disguises had been personally checked by Chen Xiao, no one recognized them even after they entered the city.
"Oh? Then this new city lord usually stays here? "
Chen Xiao turned his head, looking at the black divine palace across the street.
Hearing his words, the fatty hurriedly shook his head, "Of course not! It's said that the new city lord spends most of his time in the Lin Family compound, only coming to Frost Dragon City one day a month … Oh, speaking of which, today just happens to be the day! "
"Coming today? That's not bad. "
Chen Xiao nodded in satisfaction. He asked a few more questions before tossing a Primordial Stone to the fatty and sending him away.
"Of course, of course. Little brother, if you have any questions, just ask me, Weikang!"
Weikang was pleasantly surprised, the fat on his face almost squeezing together. "There's nothing in Frost Dragon City that I don't know!"
This was a essence stone, not an empire coin!
Essence stones were extremely precious and rare.
Even a single one was worth tens of thousands of imperial coins.
"Oh? If that's the case, then tell me, what route does the new city lord usually take after arriving at Frost Dragon City? Other than that … "
As he spoke, another ten essence stones appeared in Chen Xiao's hand.
Weikang's eyes widened, his heart bursting with joy.
"These people are super suckers! They don't even know the principle of not showing off one's wealth. If I can get rid of them … "
At the thought of this, greed flashed across his beady eyes!
