391: Chapter 391 Xiao Yujie's Demise, Rescue of Fengcheng

Boom!

After the energy exploded and engulfed Xiao Yujie, the expressions of Tie Wu, Su Mei, and their group, who were locked in combat, turned grim.

Seeing that the Xiao Sect Leader had been caught in the self-destruction of Yuan Tian, the remaining Xiao Sect elders realized the situation was hopeless and chose to surrender.

They were quickly sealed of their Dou Qi by General Ye Wudi's men and placed under the guard of powerful experts.

When the intense energy dissipated, a lightning scroll was found floating in mid-air, enveloping Xiao Yujie within it.

With terrified eyes, he roared in his heart: "What a madman!"

Fortunately, he had the life-saving scroll left by his father, which could protect his life at the critical moment and transport him back to the Xiao Family.

A flash of light appeared, and he transformed into a streak of light, speeding away towards the distant sky.

"Xiao Yujie is actually not dead?" Tie Wu's face turned livid. If he managed to escape, it would lead to endless trouble!

One must know that behind Xiao Yujie was the support of the Xiao Family.

"Damn Dazheng Dynasty, once I return to the Xiao Family, I will definitely bring people to annihilate their forces!"

Xiao Yujie's face was filled with resentment, his twisted features resembling an injured magical beast.

"It's just a pity that you won't have that chance..." Just after he had made his vow having luckily escaped, a cold voice rang out in the air.

A sudden, thunderous grasp!

The lightning scroll was frozen in mid-air. Looking closely, on a nearby mountain range, a young figure and a figure in purple robes were standing there.

The figure in purple robes pulled, and the lightning scroll moved toward the mountain peak.

"Who are you? How dare you capture me? I am a member of the Xiao Family!" Xiao Yujie scolded angrily.

"The Xiao Family? We are killing specifically people from the Xiao Family!" the young man said with an evil smile. The two figures were none other than the Blood Shadow Clone and Dragon King Ao Guang.

After the plan began, the two had been waiting here for any fish that slipped through the net.

"Break the lightning scroll!" the Blood Shadow Clone said coldly. Dragon King Ao Guang, standing behind him, squeezed his hands, dispelling the lightning on the scroll.

A wisp of a soul appeared, with lightning power flowing over its body, looking like a god of thunder.

"Presumptuous! Who dares to kill my child!" the lightning shadow roared, drawing the lightning of heaven and earth to swirl around.

"Thunder Saint?" The Blood Shadow Clone stopped smiling and said in a deep voice.

"As long as you let my child leave, I, Xiao Li, will surely reward you handsomely!" The wisp of soul power of Thunder Saint Xiao Li negotiated.

Crack!

The next moment, under the overwhelming crushing force of Dragon King Ao Guang, that wisp of soul power was ultimately unable to resist and was annihilated, dissipating with the wind.

"Don't kill me, I'll give you treasures!" As the soul power dissipated, the life-saving scroll could no longer hold out, and the light barrier faded away.

"I don't want your treasures, I want your life!" The Blood Shadow Clone sneered, then waved his sleeve, took out a palace, and placed it on the mountain top.

He had Dragon King Ao Guang stand guard.

Dragging Xiao Yujie into the palace, he activated the formation.

The Blood Shadow Clone threw him directly onto the ground. Then, amidst Xiao Yujie's terrified gaze, he activated the Blood Shadow Divine Art, transforming into a Blood God Child, which charged directly into his body.

Ah...

The next moment, Xiao Yujie screamed, as pain like that of being sliced to death surged through his body, sweeping through his entire soul.

After the Blood God Child invaded his body, it sensed that his bloodline contained surging energy.

"As expected of the Dou Di Bloodline, this is truly comfortable!" The Blood God Child looked intoxicated. The Blood Shadow Divine Art erupted, devouring his entire Dou Di Bloodline and soul.

An hour later, a flash of blood-red light appeared, and the Blood Shadow Clone manifested in the palace.

On the ground lay a withered white skeleton, having lost all luster. The Blood Shadow Clone tapped his foot, and the skeleton turned into dust.

Hehehe!

He immediately opened the palace doors, walked out, and waved his sleeve to put the palace away.

Dragon King Ao Guang casually dispelled the defensive light barrier.

Jia Ma Holy City, Xiao Family!

Rumble!

With a loud bang, in the back mountain of the Xiao Family, a tide-like surge of energy and a terrifying aura rushed into the nine heavens, tearing through the night sky.

Lightning exploded and surged, creating a scene of world destruction.

"Yujie has fallen!"

The voice was like thunder, revealing a thick intent to kill, causing the experts of the Xiao Family to look puzzled.

It enraged Thunder Saint Xiao Li; this matter was not small!

"Second Uncle, what happened?" Xiao Lin rushed over, looking at the furious Xiao Li, and asked in a deep voice.

"Yujie was killed by someone. The life-saving scroll I gave him has been broken!!"

"What?" As soon as these words were spoken, Xiao Lin could no longer maintain his composure.

Pfft!

Xiao Li suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. He had been severely injured by the mysterious person from the Dazheng Dynasty previously and had not yet fully recovered.

Upon hearing that his child had perished, he was overcome with rage and grief, spitting out a mouthful of hot heart-blood, his body stumbling.

He fell towards the ground.

"Second Uncle?" Xiao Lin moved, caught Xiao Li, and then arranged for an Alchemist to save him.

In the main hall.

Xiao Lin fell into deep thought and whispered, "Is it you? Hun Tiandi of the Dazheng Dynasty?"

After previously killing Yuan Yi, City Lord of the Darong Shop, he had wanted to observe Hun Tiandi's reaction, but for a year, there had been no signs.

Xiao Lin had forgotten about this matter, but the methods the other party used were even more violent.

First cutting off one of the Xiao Family's arms in the Black-Corner Region—what a ruthless calculation.

But Xiao Lin had also forgotten how the Xiao Family had schemed against the Darong Shop?

"Why did Jia Nan Academy not provide assistance? Why did Pan Sect not take action? What exactly happened in the Black-Corner Region?"

One question after another flooded his mind.

"Someone come! Quickly head to the Black-Corner Region and investigate everything!" Xiao Lin ordered, and the Xiao Family guards began to move, speeding towards the Black-Corner Region.

Jia Nan Academy!

The four were still in a standoff when suddenly a signal rose into the distant sky. Venerable Qingyang smiled and said: "We shall meet again!"

The two venerables of Qingyun vanished into thin air.

The Two Elders Qian Bai looked at each other, both seeing the gravity in the other's eyes. They sighed helplessly and returned to the academy.

Meanwhile, in Maple City, General Ye Wudi's men were rapidly retreating. In the span of half a cup of tea, there was no one left.

They left behind a ruined Maple City, with wails echoing everywhere and city buildings destroyed one after another. It was unknown how many people had perished in the aftermath of this battle.

Chang'an City, Star Palace!

The Blood Shadow Clone stood with his hands behind his back, waiting for news from General Ye Wudi.

"Your Majesty, Lord General Ye Wudi requests an audience!" Li Jingzhong's voice came from outside the hall.

"Summon him!" the Blood Shadow Clone said coldly.

"Summon Lord General Ye Wudi to the audience!" Afterward, General Ye Wudi entered the Star Palace and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty, this battle was a great victory. There is not a single person from the Xiao Sect left in Maple City; those who died are dead, and the rest have been captured..." General Ye Wudi said steadily.

"Lock them in the Imperial Prison for now and deal with them later. Go and rest!" the Blood Shadow Clone said indifferently.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" General Ye Wudi acknowledged the order and then exited the Star Palace.

The next morning, the Black-Corner Region became lively, with everyone spreading rumors about the disaster that had befallen Maple City!

"You don't know yet, right? There was a battle between experts in Maple City last night, and half the city was destroyed!"

"How is that possible? The Xiao Sect is in Maple City, they are a hegemon!"

"Don't mention it, the word on the street is that the Xiao Sect has been completely annihilated!"

"What..."

On the streets, rumors spread at an extremely fast speed, sweeping through the entire Black-Corner Region.

Longevity Hall, morning court!

"Reporting to Your Majesty, Maple City has suffered a disaster. The city has been reduced to ruins, the common people are injured and homeless. Your subject requests that Your Majesty send people to provide rescue and humanitarian aid!"

Yun Xiao stepped out and said respectfully.

"Granted. Order the Ministry of Revenue to take relief supplies to Maple City, set up temporary shelters outside the city, and provide food and water!"

The Blood Shadow Clone, dressed in a dragon robe and wearing the imperial crown, gave the order with a dignified expression.
