"So what? People from my side will be here soon. And while your strength seems decent enough, to ... it's nothing special," the young man said with a faint smile, his expression serene.
Ling Fengxian sneered, "Cut the crap. I've seen plenty of trash like you in my day! What kind of strength are you bragging about? You're thirty and have barely reached the Fifth Layer of the Transformation Realm, yet you have the gall to call yourself an expert? Don't make laugh!"
Ling Fengxian was sharp-tongued and fiery, and her words brought a sense of cathartic satisfaction to the mbers of the Xu Family.
'A thought stirred in Xu Luo's mind. Recalling his previous conversation with Ling Fengxian, he felt increasingly certain that this glamorous, bewitching woman was hiding a huge secret.'
The young man's expression finally shifted. He stared at Ling Fengxian. "Who in the world are you?"
"I was born and raised right here on the Central Plains Star Continent. What, are you scared?" Ling Fengxian sneered.
"Scared of you?" A disdainful smile touched the corners of the young man's mouth. "I'll let you off for today. But soon, you'll regret this. When that ti cos, it'll be useless even if you get on your knees and beg !"
As he spoke, the young man glanced at the people beside him. "Let's go!"
The group had arrived suddenly, and they left just as hastily.
"We're just letting them go like that?" Little Fatty walked up to Xu Luo, his face filled with anger. "This is outrageous! Who the hell do they think they are?!"
Worry appeared on the faces of Lianyi, Phoenix, and Huangfu Shishi. Nearby, Luo Xinlan and Xu Ji also frowned slightly. It was clear to all of them that these people from the Ancient Race Continent had most likely co because of the rumor.
The fact that they could find the Xu Family and Xu Luo so quickly also showed that the people from the Ancient Race were not without influence on the Central Plains Star Continent.
Just as Xu Luo was about to speak, Ling Fengxian suddenly sent him a voice transmission: "Follow them. Kill those n!"
"Huh?" 'Xu Luo hadn't expected Ling Fengxian to be so ruthless and decisive. Those n had been infuriating, but he didn't think it had reached the point of a fight to the death.'
"Don't hesitate. They must be an advance party sent by the Ancient Race. If you don't kill them, you'll never have a mont of peace!" Ling Fengxian transmitted urgently.
"But many people saw them co here. If they die, won't the experts from the Ancient Race..." Xu Luo wasn't afraid, but he didn't want this matter to implicate his family.
"Do you think the Central Plains Star Continent is a place where just anyone can co and go as they please? Hurry up and go!" As Ling Fengxian spoke, she whispered a few words into Lianyi's ear, then walked up, grabbed Xu Luo, and soared into the air, disappearing from the Xu Mansion in an instant.
Everyone was left looking at each other in dismay, their eyes all turning to Lianyi.
Lianyi said softly, "My aunt and Xu Luo went to take care of sothing. They'll be back shortly."
"Well, the ceremony is over. Please, everyone, enjoy the al!" Luo Xinlan stepped forward and announced.
Although most people were baffled, none of them asked any more questions. They all knew that the Xu Luo of today was no longer the weak boy he once was.
In mid-air, Xu Luo asked Ling Fengxian, "Have you been to the Ancient Race Continent before?"
"I can't tell you about that right now. You'll understand in the future. You just need to know that these n cannot be left alive! They must be eliminated! Also, there's one more thing..." Ling Fengxian looked at Xu Luo and continued via voice transmission.
Xu Luo's expression changed slightly. He was stunned for a long mont before slowly nodding his head.
...
"Big Brother, why'd we leave so abruptly? That Xu Luo might not be related to the prophecy, but those beauties..." On the road, Huo Tong was still grumbling.
The young man in the lead sneered, "That woman is not to be trifled with. We should wait until the Elders arrive before we do anything."
"That's right. That woman is very strong. We are no match for her," said the man who had just crossed blades with Ling Fengxian, his voice heavy.
"Who is that woman? How could she know we're from the Ancient Race Continent?" Huo Tong asked.
The lead young man said, "Perhaps she's from an ancient sect on the Central Plains Star Continent. Although the Ancient Race Continent is hidden, it's no secret to so of the ancient sects here."
"Damn it. It's a sha about those pretty won. They'd be perfect to take back as Furnace Cauldrons!" Huo Tong said with a look of regret.
The lead young man also had a hint of regret on his face. "Indeed. Those won all have outstanding aptitude. I never thought the Central Plains Star Continent would have such exceptional won."
Huo Tong suddenly thought of sothing and said, "Right, didn't Huo Shan and his group arrive here long ago? How co there's no news from them?"
Another man scoffed, "Them? Hmph. They're probably already off roaming around, hunting for Furnace Cauldrons!"
"True enough. That guy has no status on the Ancient Race Continent and is always getting pushed around. Now that he's here, why wouldn't he rush to enjoy the thrill of being a master for once?" Huo Tong sneered with contempt.
As they spoke, the group had already left the Cangqiong Imperial Capital and were speeding westward.
After traveling for twenty or thirty miles, the n finally slowed to a stop, breathing a collective sigh of relief. One of them spoke, his expression grim, "We're being followed!"
A trace of fear appeared on the lead young man's face, his previous calm and composure completely gone. He said sharply, "Don't talk nonsense!"
"Young Master, it's true! We're being watched." The young man who spoke looked up at the empty sky above.
The lead young man shouted, "Where? Where is anyone?" His voice was shrill, as if he'd been spooked.
In the sky above, Ling Fengxian smiled and sent a voice transmission to Xu Luo. "Well? See? This man's identity is definitely not simple. Plus, he's just a spoiled brat with no real skills. If you take his place, it will bring you unexpected benefits in the future!"
Xu Luo frowned slightly and asked, "How could you tell his identity wasn't simple?"
"You don't understand the rules of the Ancient Race Continent. That young man is wearing a jade pendant at his waist. Only direct descendants are qualified to wear a pendant like that!" Ling Fengxian explained.
Xu Luo glanced at Ling Fengxian, growing even more suspicious of her identity.
'Logically, as Lianyi's aunt, she shouldn't want to harm . So why is she so mysterious? She seems to know everything about the Ancient Race Continent like the back of her hand.'
Ling Fengxian didn't explain, simply saying, "Co on, let's go kill them!"
With that, Ling Fengxian revealed herself in mid-air and gave the n a cold smile. "You've chosen a nice place for your burial!"
"You... what are you doing? I'm telling you, I'm a direct descendant of the Huo Family! Since you know about the Ancient Race, you should know what kind of status the Huo Family has! If you touch , I guarantee you'll face endless trouble!" the lead young man blurted out, his face a mask of panic. His previous noble and calm deanor seed to have never existed.
"Then I'll just have to see what kind of 'endless trouble' that is!" Ling Fengxian said with a grin as her figure suddenly moved.
The young man who had first detected their pursuer shouted, and a Dharma Aspect of an Ancient Deity erupted behind him. The deity was eighty feet tall with three heads and six arms, each hand brandishing a different weapon. It looked as fierce as a malevolent god.
The Dharma Aspect was almost corporeal as it lunged directly at Ling Fengxian.
Ling Fengxian gave a cold smile, and a purple flying dragon instantly rose behind her. It coiled upwards, its horns prominent, shimring with purple light and releasing an endless, oppressive might.
"A... a flying dragon in the sky!" The lead young man's face was filled with terror. He stamred out the words, then shouted, "Hold her off!"
After shouting this, the lead young man turned and ran!
Looks of grim determination appeared on the faces of the others. They each unleashed their Dharma Heaven and Earth and charged madly at Ling Fengxian.
The leading young man fled in disarray, overco with panic.
'Chasing from the air, Xu Luo watched the man flee and was left speechless. He had to admit, the guy's act had been impeccable.'
'The man who had seed so noble and aloof before was not only timid as a mouse, but also completely without a shred of responsibility. Abandoning his companions to save his own skin was sothing Xu Luo would never do, not even if he were beaten to death. Yet this young man did it so naturally, seemingly without a hint of guilt.'
And yet, the young man's escape speed was incredibly fast. If Xu Luo didn't possess an unparalleled body technique like the Shaking Light Step, he would have had a hard ti catching him.
On the ground, the young man was like a phantom, his speed unbelievably fast. He sprinted wildly without any sign of stopping.
Moreover, watching his escape route, he constantly changed direction. If Xu Luo hadn't kept his eyes locked on him, he might have actually gotten away.
'This guy is so cunning!' Watching the young man's escape route, Xu Luo was almost impressed. 'The man is practically a Grandmaster of escaping!'
But before Xu Luo, who possessed the Shaking Light Step, all the young man's efforts were in vain.
As he was running, the young man suddenly skidded to a stop. His expression shifted erratically as he looked at the young man standing less than thirty feet in front of him.
"You're Xu Luo, right? How about we make a deal?" The young man's face quickly switched to a smile, which looked exceedingly friendly.
"Seeing your fiancées, you must be a man of pleasure yourself. My harem has dozens of such beauties. I'll give you half of them... no, I'll give you two-thirds! Just let live, how about it?" The young man spoke these pleading words without a trace of sha, as if it were a matter of course.
"I'm not interested in your won," Xu Luo said flatly.
The young man looked stunned, then looked at Xu Luo with a flicker of fear, his voice trembling, "You... you couldn't be... interested... in , could you? I... I'm not interested... in n! Of course... if you insist..."
"Shut your mouth!" Xu Luo's face darkened. He looked coldly at the young man. "What's your na?"
"My na is Huo Feng..." The young man said ekly, his head lowered, but a cold, murderous glint flashed in his eyes.
Suddenly, Huo Feng snapped his head up. With a flick of his hand, a large cloud of powder surged toward Xu Luo, engulfing everything.
An extrely sweet fragrance instantly filled the air!
"Go to hell!" Huo Feng's face was savage as he roared.
