“Master! That demoness possesses at least a Divine Transformation stage cultivation! We suspect she’s a Holy Maiden from the Western Region’s Full Moon Sect!”
“At the time… when the seven of us joined forces to surround and attack that demoness to rescue the young miss! But that demoness used the forest terrain and strange plum blossom demon arts! She successively drained the blood and flesh of several of our brothers, becoming stronger as she fought. Her hair gradually turned red, and even her cultivation swelled, approaching the peak of Divine Transformation stage!”
“Master! This subordinate proves incompetent… incompetent! This subordinate failed to rescue the young miss from that demoness and thief!”
At this point, the black-robed shadow guard seemed unable to suppress his inner fear any longer and rushed forward to embrace the Liu mansion elder’s leg, crying out in despair.
But before the Liu mansion elder could react angrily, they saw that the already injured black-robed shadow guard’s severed arm suddenly underwent a grotesque blood and flesh mutation, sprouting a sinister blood-red plum blossom branch.
As the blood-red plum blossom branch began rapidly taking root and sprouting in the human body, the black-robed shadow guard’s already crumbling emotions finally exploded.
“Master! Save me! Save me!”
He struggled to embrace the Liu family elder’s leg, but the latter kicked him away mercilessly, looking at him with wariness.
Everyone retreated three steps to maintain a safe distance, watching as the plum blossom parasitized the black-robed shadow guard. He only wailed for a few seconds before completely becoming nourishment for the plum blossoms covering his body, thoroughly rotting into a puddle of muck.
After the human body decomposed, the plum blossom that had grown on the person also began attacking everyone present.
Liu Yuliang raised his hand to summon a formation, effortlessly sealing it away.
“Elder, this person spoke truthfully. This is indeed some kind of flower demon technique from the Western Region’s Full Moon Sect!”
As the Liu mansion’s family head, even though his daughter had gone missing, Liu Yuliang didn’t panic like the other elders, but remained the only family head present who calmly analyzed the situation.
If Liu Yuliang remembered correctly…
When his daughter returned from the Azure Forest, her stories indeed included descriptions of various tree demons and flower demons.
“Full Moon Sect… How could a Full Moon Sect Holy Maiden from the Western Region… infiltrate Jiangnan to capture our Ruoning…”
For a moment, the Liu mansion elder felt dizzy and unsteady, with unprecedented fear and unease making the old man’s heart unable to bear it.
After all, they had lived in this prosperous land of Jiangnan.
For the Liu mansion elders who had lived in comfort for years, evil cults were simply distant concepts that only existed in newspaper headlines. But now these Western Region barbarian demons had kidnapped their precious granddaughter!
On the other side, seeing that the Liu mansion elder was about to faint from anger, Lin Guo finally seemed to find a handle to strike back and sneered:
“Heh, this is retribution! Didn’t your Liu family make this choice yourselves?!”
“If you had let this old man act to suppress that little thief earlier, would we have so many troubles now with Lin Ze suffering ambush and Miss Ruoning facing kidnapping?”
Lin Guo enjoyed the spectacle, delivering a round of hindsight criticism.
For some reason, although the Lin family had also suffered greatly tonight, seeing the Liu mansion elder’s misfortune improved Lin Guo’s mood considerably.
After this incident, the Lin family’s young master only lay unconscious, facing no life-threatening danger.
But the Liu family’s daughter had truly fallen into a demoness’s hands with unknown fate!
Thinking of it this way, Lin Guo suddenly felt he wasn’t so miserable after all. In a sense, Lin Ze’s ability to escape with his life from Yino’s hands proved extremely fortunate!
As for Liu Ruoning?
That became the Liu mansion’s problem.
“Issue a wanted notice! Summon He mansion officials for questioning immediately!”
The Liu mansion elder couldn’t swallow this insult and slapped his forehead in unprecedented fury, giving orders.
On the other side, Lin Guo crossed his arms over his chest, still gloating as he spoke sarcastically: “In-law, harmony brings wealth, harmony brings wealth~”
“…..!”
Lin Guo’s two mentions of “harmony brings wealth” immediately infuriated the Liu mansion elder half to death.
The two sides faced off, with only Liu Yuliang sensing something suspicious about the situation. He didn’t participate in the argument but instead called over several shadow guards and secretly issued certain orders.
“He’s awake! The young master is awake!”
At some point, several Lin family attendants behind the crowd cried out in alarm.
Hearing this, Lin Guo immediately beamed with joy and couldn’t be bothered to settle old scores with the Liu family elder, hurriedly turning back to check on his young master.
The Liu mansion elder glared at Lin Guo but had nothing to say. He could only send people to issue bounty notices overnight while also trying to use all his martial world connections to intercept Liu Ruoning in Jiangnan territory. Otherwise, if someone truly kidnapped her to the Western Region, even begging wouldn’t help the Liu mansion!
“No! No! It’s gone! Gone!!!”
The Liu mansion’s commotion only paused briefly before the young man’s desperate screams from behind the crowd reignited it.
Everyone curiously turned to look, only to see the just-awakened Lin family’s young master frantically clawing at his ears and scratching his cheeks as if he’d gone mad.
Lin Guo raised an eyebrow, approaching with concern:
“Lin Ze, what do you mean has gone missing?”
“My Azure Dragon bloodline! My Azure Dragon bloodline has disappeared!”
Lin Guo: “???”
Liu family elder:”?”
The entire Liu mansion faced shock once again from this sudden catastrophic news.
Fortune turns in cycles. Lin Guo’s fifty-step laugh at a hundred steps hadn’t lasted long before his mood, which had improved by half, plummeted back to rock bottom.
“Bastard!”
“It’s Yino! Yino must have stolen my bloodline!”
Lin Ze roared in fury, but the succession of farces had already numbed everyone present.
As the atmosphere grew tense, another black-robed elder’s figure flew back from the distant horizon.
“Elder Ming proved incompetent and failed to catch the thief.”
“Halfway through, a flower demoness at the half-step Emptiness Refining stage who had already killed until her eyes turned red emerged and rescued that thief!”
Lin Guo:?
Liu Yuliang: ??????????
…
…
…
At the other end of the Liu mansion’s collective silence, in the southwestern forest, Yino also engaged in a life-or-death chase.
“Yino!”
“Do you think that with just those few silver markings from Liuli and your despicable, underhanded methods, you can completely conquer this young lady?!”
“This past month, do you think this young lady knows how much humiliation she’s endured for this day!!!”
