Ling Xiao smiled slightly and spat out a mouthful of blood.
He then went over to pick up the girl lying there and walked towards the outside.
"Shangguan Hong, let’s go."
Ling Xiao knew that although there was still so Sword Intent here temporarily, it was just residual, and it wouldn’t be long before the Sword Intent completely dispersed.
What he needed to do now was to leave here with Shangguan Hong as soon as possible to avoid more trouble.
Shangguan Hong hurried over to take his junior sister and left together with Ling Xiao.
Shortly after they left, a group of people arrived at Ghost Villa with great montum.
"Who killed our fifth?"
Amidst an angry voice, a burly man appeared.
His body was extrely large, standing there alone, he was probably as broad as three other people combined.
From his body emanated a strong aura, at a glance it was obviously terrifying.
"South Gate Master, you’re late, that kid just left less than half an hour ago."
The martial artists previously threatened by Ling Xiao naturally stood out eagerly to inform the Grand Whale Sect Leader, Nan Jing.
"Good kid, you run fast, but even if you escape to the ends of the earth, it won’t help you. Dare to kill my brother, I will skin you alive and pull out your tendons!"
Nan Jing showed a ferocious look and roared, "Mobilize everyone to search for him. Anyone who finds this guy will be rewarded with fifty thousand Low-grade Spirit Stones! If caught, the reward is one hundred thousand! If killed, it’s three hundred thousand!"
...
On the Black Volcano, Ling Xiao was stepping towards the crater, known as a forbidden area.
At that mont, black smoke billowed, seemingly indicating so kind of incident had occurred.
Ling Xiao quickened his pace.
Shangguan Hong had already taken his junior sister back to the Divine Phoenix Continent using Ling Xiao’s Moonlight Treasure Ship.
As for Ling Xiao himself, last ti in Cri City, he snatched two Flying Wheel Ships from others, although they weren’t as good as the Moonlight Treasure Ship, traveling with them shouldn’t be a problem.
In the sa direction, a young girl, with the protection of a group of martial artists, was also on her way.
The girl appeared to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, innocent and lively, like a canary untouched by worldly ways.
The girl was nad Ji ngng, a disciple of the Victoria Clan of the Sacred Dynasty and Fairy Island.
Only a mber of the Ji Clan would be eligible to be so well protected by many martial artists.
"Miss, we can’t go any further, look at the charred bodies along the way, it’s horrible to witness."
Beside Ji ngng, a middle-aged man in his forties reminded her, "The Black Volcano used to be a forbidden area, and now with unusual changes, it’s even listed as extrely dangerous by the Island Master, definitely not to be approached lightly."
"Uncle Chen, there’s no need to persuade . You’ve seen my brother’s state yourself, he was once considered by the family as the future Island Master, an unparalleled genius.
But now?
After an inexplicable illness, he beca deranged, even forgetting his Martial Arts.
It is said that near the Black Volcano grows a ’Black Fire Lotus,’ which is very effective for my brother’s illness.
The family doesn’t care about him, but I can’t ignore it, he used to care for the most."
Ji ngng shook her head, even though she was visibly afraid, her eyes showed determination and resilience.
"Miss, I wonder if this is appropriate to say."
The middle-aged man nad Chen sighed and said, "The Ji Clan is the owner of the Holy Dynasty Immortal Island, one of the strongest forces in both the Heavenly Dragon Continent and the Divine Phoenix Continent. However, even the higher-ups couldn’t get the Black Fire Lotus, can we really find it?"
"Uncle Chen, I’m not foolish."
Ji ngng sighed and said, "It’s not that they can’t find it, they just don’t want to. There are people in the higher ranks who want my brother to die, but I absolutely can’t let them have their way."
"Who?"
At this mont, that middle-aged man nad Chen suddenly shouted, holding a long knife pointing towards the dense forest.
Rustle rustle!
After a strange noise, a person erged from the forest.
A young man.
Handso in appearance, rather graceful.
"Forgive for startling all of you, I am rely passing by."
Ling Xiao shrugged and said with a smile, his face radiant with sunshine, no one could equate him with the rumored demon child Ling Xiao.
"Stop smiling carefreely, did you overhear our conversation?"
The middle-aged man nad Chen coldly asked.
"Yeah, I overheard a bit, you guys are looking for the Black Fire Lotus, right? Actually, I also want to find this thing."
Ling Xiao nodded and said.
The Black Fire Lotus is a very valuable dicinal herb, it’s hard to find even if you co across it because it only appears one month before a volcanic eruption.
The reason for this is still hard to understand even now.
This ti he was lucky, just when the Black Volcano showed obvious signs of breakthrough.
The Black Fire Lotus can be used to refine various miraculous pills because it has a dual healing effect on the soul and body, and the effect is excellent.
Ling Xiao had not forgotten Stewart Scarlett.
The only surviving woman from Blue Wave Island.
The girl who chose justice over the sect and helped him.
She may seem a bit silly.
But others may laugh at her. Ling Xiao cannot.
Ling Xiao truly admired the girl nad Stewart Scarlett, so he was always trying to find a way to make her wake up.
This ti he was lucky, just preparing to go to the Black Volcano to find the Ancient Golden Crow corpse, yet stumbled upon such important news, truly wonderful.
In fact, what Ling Xiao heard was not just about the Black Fire Lotus.
He also heard the thoughts within the hearts of those guards.
They were evidently a faction from the Ji Clan, ostensibly protecting Ji ngng, but in reality, they intended to sabotage her search for the Black Fire Lotus.
Moreover, these n viciously planned to kill Ji ngng, so that the extraordinary genius who went mad in the Ji Clan would remain insane forever.
Of course, simply killing her would be too pitying, they actually hoped to savor the taste of this Ji Clan lady before Ji ngng dies.
Among all the people, only that middle-aged man was truly loyal to Ji ngng.
Poor child, being "protected" by a pack of wolves.
With Ling Xiao’s strong Soul Power, he naturally saw through the intentions of these people.
But he did not know Ji ngng and was not inclined to ddle in other people’s affairs.
However, ignoring it would make him feel uncomfortable.
So he smiled and said to Ji ngng, "A beautiful young lady like you might attract many vicious wolves, while admiring the distant scenery, also beware of the danger beneath your feet, lest you fall into so hunter’s trap."
If the girl was smart, she would naturally understand his aning.
If not, it could only be blad on her lack of fortune.
"Go your own way, this is none of your concern."
One of the guards shouted at Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao smiled, he wasn’t willing to ddle in others’ affairs anyway.
However, the girl gave Ling Xiao a thoughtful glance, smiled, and said, "Thank you for the reminder."
With this expression of thanks, Ling Xiao felt he had not suffered a loss, at least he had helped the right person.
