βRed hair?β Hua Xing was a little puzzled by what Li Jiao said and he looked at Li Jiao questioningly as he shook his head, βShe doesnβt have red hair. That little girl has black hair.β
Although he did not know why Li Jiao asked that question, he vaguely sensed that Li Jiao was scared of something.
[He has somebody he fears?] Hua Xing couldnβt help finding the very notion strange.
βBlack hairβ¦β Li Jiao breathed out a sigh of relief, [If the girl has black hair, then itβs definitely not Zhu Qing.]
Just in case, he carefully asked for more clarification, βWhat cultivation does that girl have?β
βFirst-Order Emperor Realm!β
He was startled by those words, βA mere First-Order Emperor Realm Master?β
[Thatβs definitely not Zhu Qing!] He was completely at ease now.
βThatβs right. Thatβs why I feel so humiliated!β Hua Xing picked up another bottle of wine and gulped it down. Wiping at his mouth as he complained, βBrother Li, you know about my situation. Despite all the efforts I put in, I only have one son. I was expecting him to inherit my position in the future. W-Who would have thoughtβ¦β At this point, he sounded choked up.
Li Jiao comforted, βTo see oneβs child die before oneselfβ¦ It must be difficult for you, Brother Hua. You have my condolences.β
Hua Xing slammed his hands on the table and murderously vowed, βI have to avenge my son, 0therwise, I canβt call myself a man anymore!β
βThis is a deep-seated hatred. It is only natural to take revenge,β Li Jiao hesitated for a moment before asking, βItβs just that I donβt quite understandβ¦ Wind and Cloud Pavilion is a top Sect in the Western Territory. Moreover, you are a Third-Order Emperor Realm Master, Brother Hua, how can you be helpless against a little girl?β
Hua Xing shook his head and smiled bitterly, βYou might not be aware, but that little girlβs strength is extremely unusual despite her seemingly low cultivation. Unfortunately, I underestimated her previously when I sent some of the Masters within the Sect to capture her; as a result, all of them died at her hands, even though some were Second-Order Emperors!β
βOh? To think a little girl could fight so many Masters above her own realm!β Li Jiao raised his brow at those words, βIt looks like this little girl is quite difficult to deal with.β
He suddenly thought of Yang Kai and solemnly said, βNot many people can fight against those in a higher realm by themselves, but as long as they donβt die early, they will surely become powerful in the future.β
Hua Xing said, βWind and Cloud Pavilionβs face has taken a huge hit recently. Please help me, Brother Li!β
Li Jiao replied, βYou are exaggerating, Brother Hua. That little girl might be strong enough to kill a Second-Order Emperor, but surely she canβt triumph against you if you take action personally. I know the extent of your strength very well and even though I want to help, taking revenge for your son should be done with your own handsβ¦ Only by doing so will you truly be able to soothe your anger.β
Upon hearing those words, Hua Xing smiled bitterly, βHow can I not know that? Ever since my son was killed, Iβve been unable to rest at all. I canβt wait to rip that cheap slut apart and skin her alive! If I could take revenge with my own hands, I would track that bitch down this instantβ¦ itβs justβ¦β
βWhat is it?β Li Jiao looked at Hua Xing curiously. He couldnβt figure out why Hua Xing would make this request of him.
βHaaβ¦ perhaps this will make you understand, Brother Li,β Hua Xing stretched out his hand as he spoke.
Li Jiao stuck out two fingers suspiciously and pressed them against Hua Xingβs wrist. A moment later his expression changed and he uttered in surprise, βYouβre injured, Brother Hua? Who could have done this to you?β
Hua Xing replied dejectedly, βWhen news of my sonβs death arrived, I was cultivating in retreat. The shock I received at the time nearly caused a dissonance in my cultivation. Although I managed to stabilize myself, I still suffered a serious backlash. If not for this injury, I would have personally taken action a long time ago. How could I possibly leave that whore alive and free knowing what she did?!β
βSo thatβs how it is!β Li Jiao nodded lightly, a touch of sympathy appearing on his face. [Itβs not easy for Hua Xing either. He only has one son after all. It certainly is difficult to accept that his son was killed so suddenly.]
βThat cheap slut is capable of killing a Second-Order Emperor; hence, her strength is certainly not low. I am not in my best condition at the moment, and if I act rashlyβ¦ Itβs fine if I succeed, but it will be a disaster if I were to fail.β
βYou are right, Brother Hua,β Li Jiao pondered for a moment, βI understand what you are trying to say, Brother Hua. Rest assured, you can leave this to me. I will let that little girl know the consequences of her actions!β
The moment Hua Xing heard those words, he was overjoyed and stood up before bowing deeply, βMany thanks, Brother Li! With you personally taking action, that cheap slut wonβt stand a chance no matter how talented she is!β
Li Jiao helped Hua Xing up with a smile, βIβve been repeating this again and again, Brother Hua, I wonβt stand idly by if you are in trouble. Butβ¦ I donβt know that little girlβs current whereabouts.β
Hua Xing solemnly said, βIβll be truthful with you, Brother Li. That slut is currently in Great Cloud City, just thirty kilometres away from Wind and Cloud Pavilion.β
βShe dares to make her way here?β Li Jiaoβs expression soured as he snorted, βHer courage isnβt small.β
Hua Xing said through gritted teeth, βThatβs certainly the case. Her strength has gone to her head and she must believe she can look down on my Wind and Cloud Pavilion as a result! Iβll have to trouble you for this, Brother Li.β
Li Jiao said, βSince she is not that far away, why donβt we let her break into Wind and Cloud Pavilion before I make my move? I wonβt let her escape.β
Hua Xing smiled bitterly, βIf she succeeded in attacking Wind and Cloud Pavilion and breaking the Sect Defending Array, thenβ¦β
Li Jiao thought about it and immediately understood Hua Xingβs worries. Thus, he nodded and said, βThat certainly wouldnβt look good. I was too careless in my thoughts. Good, Iβll head to Great Cloud City and capture her.β
βThatβs exactly what I was hoping for. Many thanks, Brother Li.β
βThis shouldnβt be delayed any longer; Iβll go now.β While speaking, Li Jiao stood up and walked outside.
βIβll be waiting for good news from you, Brother Li!β Hua Xing saw Li Jiao off.
From the top of the mountain peak, Li Jiao soared into the air and flew off into the distance. When his figure disappeared from sight, the smile on Hua Xingβs face gradually vanished as he stood there frowning while deep in thought for a while. Afterwards, he coldly snorted and strode away.
In his opinion, making Li Jiao take action was enough to make this trip worthwhile. He couldnβt obtain any background information on that man and woman; however, judging from the way they dared to attack Wind and Cloud Pavilion so blatantly, it was clear that they had some sort of profound backing. If they really turned out to have strong backgrounds, then the blame for upsetting them will fall on Li Jiao. It will have nothing to do with Wind and Cloud Pavilion, so Hua Xing only needed to wait quietly for the news.
In Great Cloud City, the air was filled with the smell of blood. Ruins were scattered everywhere while the ground was covered in fresh bloodstains and torn limbs.
Great Cloud City was only thirty kilometres away from Wind and Cloud Pavilion and could be considered an important industry for the Sect as well as a hub of communication with the outside world. In other words, this city was the commercial heart of Wind and Cloud Pavilion.
Yang Kai and Lin Yunβer were travelling with a clear goal in mind. It was obvious that they planned to go straight to Wind and Cloud Pavilion. Therefore, it was only natural for Great Cloud City under Wind and Cloud Pavilion to take precautions against them.
Inside a certain palace, a Second-Order Emperor Realm Master led a team consisting of several hundred disciples. In addition, many other Emperor Realm Masters attracted by the reward were gathered as well. They had long since set up an impressive array and were waiting for their targets to walk right into their trap.
For that reason, Yang Kai and Lin Yunβer were noticed the moment they stepped into Great Cloud City, and a huge battle instantly broke out.
In just an hour, Great Cloud City was practically in ruins. Hundreds of disciples of Wind and Cloud Pavilion suffered heavy casualties, and even the Second-Order Emperor Realm Master leading the team had been blown away by a punch from Lin Yunβer.
With the Spirit Array broken, the rest scattered. The disciples of Wind and Cloud Pavilion that survived the battle hurriedly fled back to their headquarters while the Emperor Realm Masters, attracted by the bounty, were either dead or making a run for it. The entire Great Cloud City was a chaotic mess as everybody was thrown into panic.
On the way to the city, Li Jiao landed in front of a group of blood-stained Wind and Cloud Pavilion disciples that were currently fleeing.
βWhat happened here?β Li Jiao released his Emperor Pressure, suppressing the group of disciples so that they did not dare to take any rash actions.
βYou areβ¦ Senior Li?β A First-Order Emperor Realm Master leading the group recognized Li Jiao and called out with joy.
βWho are you?β Li Jiao squinted at the man.
That First-Order Emperor Realm Master hurriedly cupped his fists and said, βGreetings Senior Li, I am Wind and Cloud Pavilionβs Ninth Elder, Cai Shi.β
βYou know me?β
Cai Shi quickly replied, βI saw you once from afar when you came to the Sect a few days ago.β
βOh. So, that was you.β Li Jiao had a vague impression of this man. He seemed to recall greeting this person back when he first arrived at Wind and Cloud Pavilion. Frowning, he asked, βWhy are you in such terrible condition?β
Cai Shi blushed and said in embarrassment, βI am ashamed to say that the invaders were too powerful and I was not their opponent. The Sectβs Masters were all either killed or suffered heavy injuries.β
βThat little girl is that strong?β Li Jiao raised his eyebrows.
Cai Shi replied, βThe Second Elder died tragically at her hands. Moreover, the Nine Serenity Chain Spirit Array we arranged as a trap was destroyed in less than an hour.β
Li Jiao narrowed his eyes as he commented, βIt looks like Wind and Cloud Pavilion has offended an incredibly powerful enemy this time.β
Cai Shi said, βI can only ask the Pavilion Master to take action now. Iβm afraid he is the only one that can suppress her.β
Li Jiao raised his hand and said, βThereβs no need to bother the Pavilion Master to take action. He has entrusted this matter to me. I will take care of that little girl.β
Cai Shiβs eyes lit up upon hearing this and couldnβt help asking, βSenior Li will be stepping in?β
βWhy else would I come here?β Li Jiao replied proudly.
βGood good! With Senior Li here, that cheap slut will certainly be defeated!β
Li Jiao impatiently said, βCome with me. The faster we resolve this issue, the faster we can return.β
βYes, of course! Please come this way, Senior Li!β Cai Shi excitedly replied, the terror on his face vanishing into thin air. He had heard from Hua Xing before that Li Jiao had a trace of the Dragonβs bloodline in him. Therefore, Hua Xing was no match for Li Jiao even though they were both Third-Order Emperor Realm Masters.
[With such a powerful Master taking action, things will become much easier!] Wind and Cloud Pavilion had suffered heavy losses, with even the Second Elder being killed; therefore, Cai Shi was worrying about how he was going to report the outcome of the battle upon his return. At that moment, Li Jiao had appeared like a hero to save them, so how could he not be overjoyed?
In his opinion, regardless of how strong the young man and woman in Great Cloud City were, they couldn’t win against Li Jiao. As long as they could capture and bring those two back, it should be enough to redeem themselves and salvage some of Wind and Cloud Pavilionβs face. Hence, he was extremely diligent and even took the initiative to lead the way.
It didnβt take long before the small group arrived at Great Cloud City again.
Li Jiao swept his Divine Sense over the city and upon seeing the destruction that had been wrought, he frowned involuntarily as he thought to himself, [These people from Wind and Cloud Pavilion are so useless. How could they be so helpless against one little girl? I wonder how Hua Xing taught his disciples⦠If this matter were to occur at Fire Dragon Palace, that little girl would have died several times over by now.]
βWhere are they?β Li Jiao asked with a scowl as he could not sense the enemyβs aura.
Cai Shi replied, βThey should be in the City Lordβs Mansion. They killed many people from the Sect previously before breaking into the City Lordβs Mansion. They are clearly looking to obtain some riches.β
