The Xiao family's residence.
In the luxuriously decorated lobby.
Xiao Nitian was sitting on a wooden chair.
A man in black knelt in front of him, reporting Ye Yun's movements to him.
This man in black was the spy placed in Luoyang City by Xiao Nitian not long ago.
He has extremely strong investigative abilities and can conceal his presence, making it difficult for others to detect his presence.
Every move of the Ye family is under his surveillance.
After Ye Yun left Ye's house, he quietly followed Ye Yun.
After discovering that Ye Yun had entered the wild mountains, he returned to the main city of Zhongzhou to report the information.
After listening to the report of the man in black, Xiao Nitian's eyes flashed with greed: "Hurry up and let the countercurrent come over!"
"Yes!" The man in black clasped his hands and immediately exited the lobby.
After a few breaths.
A middle-aged man with long flowing hair walked into the lobby.
This middle-aged man carries two swords on his back, giving him the air of a swordsman.
He is none other than the ninth elder of the Xiao family’s inner sect—Xiao Niliu!
"Master of the family." Xiao Niliu cupped his fists at Xiao Nitian.
"I have an important task that I want to leave to you to complete." Xiao Nitian looked at Xiao Niliu.
Xiao Niliu said: "Master, please give me your instructions."
Xiao Nitian said seriously: "Immediately lead ten strong men of the True Martial Realm to the wild mountains to search for Ye Yun."
"If possible, try to capture him alive for me!"
"Ye Yun, is that Ye Yun from Luoyang City?" Xiao Niliu asked.
Xiao Nitian nodded and said, "Yes, it's him."
"Why do you need to mobilize so many troops to arrest a kid from a small town?" Xiao Niliu asked in confusion.
He really couldn't understand why he had to bring so many strong men of the True Martial Realm to arrest a young man from a small town.
If there are many people to facilitate the search, you can definitely send a group of Body Refining Realm warriors there.
Why do we need to let those who are strong in the True Martial Realm go?
Isn't this overkill?
Xiao Nitian said seriously: "You must not underestimate him. He has hidden secrets that can be used to instantly elevate his cultivation to the True Martial Realm!"
"Xiao Nifeng, who passed away recently, died in his hands!"
"What! There is such a thing?" Xiao Niliu was very surprised and found it incredible.
Obviously, he did not know about Ye Yun's execution of Xiao Nifeng.
This is because Xiao Nitian deliberately concealed the truth.
In order to prevent Ye Yun's secrets from being leaked, he announced that Xiao Nifeng had died of illness and blocked all relevant information.
It is precisely because of this that the news of Ye Yun's killing of Xiao Nifeng did not spread in Zhongzhou.
It is only spread in Luoyang City and several surrounding small towns.
And because the Xiao family did not come forward to admit it, the rumors circulating could not be confirmed.
so.
Except for those who were present, no one else took it seriously.
Just treat this as a rumor.
after all.
A young man in the Condensation Realm killed a strong man in the True Martial Realm. This kind of thing is really ridiculous.
Don't say that the Xiao family didn't admit it.
Even if the Xiao family admits it, there will still be people who don't believe it.
After Xiao Niliu was shocked for a long time, he asked Xiao Nitian: "Master, you...are you not joking?"
"Do you think I'm joking?" Xiao Nitian said more seriously.
Subsequently.
He then said patiently: "The reason why I asked you to capture him alive is to learn from him the secret of how he can temporarily improve his cultivation!"
"That kid is very strong. You must treat him with caution and never underestimate him."
"Otherwise... your fate will be the same as Xiao Nifeng's!"
Xiao Niliu nodded and said: "I know, I will pay attention to him!"
Finished.
Xiao Niliu turned and left.
…
at the same time.
Lin family mansion.
In the Lin family lobby.
Lin Zhengxiong and Lin Zhengbei gathered together and were discussing whether to deal with Ye Yun.
Not only the Xiao family, they also sent out spies to monitor the Ye family's movements at all times.
so.
They also knew about Ye Yun's trip to the Wild Mountains immediately.
Lin Zhengbei said excitedly: "Brother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
"There are many monsters in the wild mountains, and geniuses often fall there."
"If we kill that kid in the wild mountains, and then fake the scene to look like he was attacked by a monster, no one will doubt us!"
Lin Zhengxiong nodded: "This is indeed a good opportunity!"
"But... there seems to be some secret hidden in that boy!"
"He can elevate his cultivation to the true martial realm in an instant. It is said that even Xiao Nifeng died at his hands!"
"If this thing is true, we may not be his opponents!"
Lin Zhengxiong knew very well that Xiao Nifeng's cultivation and strength were no different from his.
If Ye Yun really killed Xiao Nifeng, he would definitely be able to kill him.
"I think this matter sounds too far-fetched and the truth remains to be investigated." Lin Zhengbei questioned.
He really couldn't imagine what it was that could instantly improve his cultivation by so much.
This kind of thing was beyond his knowledge, making him have to doubt the authenticity of the matter.
Lin Zhengxiong nodded in agreement: "What you said makes sense. I also think this matter sounds too outrageous."
"Xiao Nifeng's death may not have been his fault."
"There must be some master protecting him secretly!"
"It was the master who killed Xiao Nifeng!"
Speaking of this, Lin Zhengxiong couldn't help but think of the master who injured him at the Ye family's residence that day.
He always felt that the master who injured him was the real culprit who killed Xiao Nifeng.
Lin Zhengxiong narrowed his eyes, filled with murderous intent: "No matter what, this is a rare opportunity."
"This time, I will go to the Savage Mountains in person and kill that kid with my own hands!"
…
Dawn and crescent moon alternate.
Two days passed quickly.
After two days and two nights of long journey.
Ye Yun traveled all the way through mountains and rivers and finally arrived at the border of the Southern Xia Kingdom.
What appeared in front of him were endless mountains.
Almost monopolizing the entire horizon!
The roars of various monsters echoed throughout the mountains.
The world is filled with dangerous evil spirits, giving people a creepy feeling.
Ye Yun just took two steps forward.
From the woods not far ahead, several giant tigers with a body length of three meters sprang out.
These giant tigers are not only huge in size, but their claws are also extremely sharp.
His body exudes a strong demonic aura, and his yellow pupils are full of violence and ferocity.
obviously.
This is not an ordinary tiger, but a second-level monster sharp-toothed tiger!
Like humans, monsters of the same level are also divided into three stages: low-level, intermediate-level, and high-level.
These sharp-toothed tigers are low-level second-level monsters, and their strength is equivalent to that of low-level Condensing Yuan Realm warriors.
But with thick skin and thick flesh, they are stronger than human warriors in terms of physique and vitality.
therefore.
Compared to human warriors of the same level, they are more difficult to deal with.
