28: The Zhao family came, Zhao Wu was shocked

Two hours later, Black Sand City.

More than a dozen Professionals, dressed in uniform attire and completely unfamiliar, appeared in the city without warning.

There were 16 people in total, each with a stern face and in a hurry.

Pedestrians who met them on the road didn't pay much attention at first.

However, when his gaze swept over the mark tattooed on the chests of this group of people, his expression immediately changed, and he quickly pulled his friend, who was still curiously looking, and hastily avoided them.

His friend was puzzled.

"What's wrong? These people don't look like much, why do you look like you've seen a ghost?"

The pedestrian, hearing this, said irritably: "Didn't you see the mark on their chests? Those are people from Longyuan."

"Longyuan?" His friend subconsciously murmured, then his eyes widened, and he blurted out in a lost voice, "Holy cow! The Longyuan Legion of the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family?"

Before he finished speaking, several icy gazes immediately focused on him.

His companion, seeing this, decisively ran back more than ten meters.

Leaving behind the person whose face had turned green.

His legs couldn't help but tremble.

Fortunately, this group of people did not focus their energy on him; after retracting their gazes, they left in a hurry.

Until the shadows of this group of people completely disappeared.

The pedestrian who had spoken earlier plopped down on the ground in embarrassment, gasping for air.

At this moment, his companion also quietly returned to his side, saying reproachfully:

"You, why were you yelling so loudly for no reason? You almost scared me to death."

The person on the ground glared at his companion.

"You still have the nerve to talk about me? You actually ran away just now? Didn't you say you'd fight alongside me for life?"

"Bah! The premise of fighting alongside is having a chance of winning. Those are from the Longyuan Legion. If you provoke them, you'll die. Should I not run and just wait to die with you?"

"I..."

The person on the ground felt like there was some truth to this and was speechless for a moment.

However, in a blink of an eye, he curiously asked: "Speaking of which, what are the people from the Longyuan Legion doing here?"

His companion shrugged, "Who knows? That's the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family, one of the Eight Great Families of the Alliance. It's not something ordinary people like us can inquire about."

...And with this little interlude.

News of the Longyuan Legion appearing in Black Sand City spread like wildfire.

Soon, the Black Tiger and Silver Dragon Legions, who were gathered to discuss matters concerning Ye Xiao, also learned of this news.

Lei Laohu was stunned for a moment, rubbing his forehead in confusion, "People from Longyuan going to Blackwater Canyon, what are they doing?"

Kuang Long, on the side, had a flicker in his eyes, then said faintly, "Perhaps it's because that guy killed Snow Phoenix?"

Lei Laohu frowned and said, "Do you really think Snow Phoenix is dead?"

Kuang Long sneered.

"At this point, are you still pretending to be an idiot in front of me?"

Lei Laohu was not annoyed by the remark, merely saying indifferently, "After all, that woman's strength is obvious to all. Without seeing her body, I always feel there's some conspiracy."

"If you're not afraid of death, why don't you go take a look?"

Lei Laohu gave an awkward laugh.

Kuang Long, seeing this, couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Even Longyuan has been alerted. I'm afraid the power behind the Golden Phoenix Legion is them."

Lei Laohu nodded.

"It seems I can't be wrong. No wonder my boss told me not to conflict with Golden Phoenix. So it was because of the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family."

After a pause, he suddenly remembered being extorted several Skill Stone by that woman named Xue Ling just now, and he couldn't help but feel a bit of regret.

He regretted giving them too early.

If that expert had offended the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family, he probably wouldn't live long.

It was too wasteful.

As for Kuang Long on the side, he remained silent.

Only an expression of contemplation occasionally appeared in his eyes.

No one knew what he was thinking... And besides Lei Laohu and Silver Dragon's side.

At this time, in the regional chat channel, many people were also discussing matters concerning the Longyuan Legion.

There was more than one Novice Realm in the Eternal World.

But everyone knew that although their Novice Realm was nominally an Unowned Secret Realm, it had actually long been branded with the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family's mark.

Therefore, many people were curious.

"I heard people from Longyuan went to Black Sand City? What are they doing?"

"I don't know, I heard someone saw with their own eyes that the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family's regional head, Zhao Wu, went this time."

"Hiss! Zhao Wu, with his A-grade Talent, went personally? Is there some new discovery? Or has someone offended the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family?"

"Could it be to help the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family's new recruits this year with their promotion mission? After all, that's a spawn point for Calamity Heralds."

"Now that you mention it, it reminds me of Zhao Hao from two years ago, but I haven't heard of any outstanding new recruits from the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family in our region this year. It shouldn't be such a big commotion, right?"

"Who knows? It can't be to arrest someone, can it? In our region, even the other families among the Eight Great Families wouldn't easily dare to provoke the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family."

Blackwater Canyon, Secluded Pool.

Just as the boss was about to refresh, Xue Ling returned.

She also brought back 14 Skill Stone of Evil Devour, given jointly by Black Tiger and Kuang Long.

Ye Xiao, who was bored, was instantly overjoyed.

He took them directly, then crushed them.

With this, his Evil Devour directly stacked to 25.

The health restored per attack also became 1250 points.

Coupled with his Fireball stacked to 30, one Fireball could restore 37500 health points.

That was enough.

Now there was no need to struggle with whether to continue staying here.

Suddenly, Ye Xiao was in a great mood.

"Tell them they can continue to hunt Calamity Heralds in the future, but if they get Skill Stone of Evil Devour, they must all be sent to you."

Xue Ling on the side nodded in agreement.

Now that the effect of Evil Devour had stacked up.

Ye Xiao no longer had to continue his monotonous vigil here.

However, at this very moment.

The boss's refresh time had arrived again.

Looking at the commotion from the Secluded Pool.

Ye Xiao did not hesitate; he directly cast Fireball.

Two seconds later, the pathetic Calamity Herald could only let out an unwilling roar before falling down again.

And Ye Xiao's level also increased again, reaching level 36.

He was not far from level 40.

Xue Ling, on the side, despite having witnessed Ye Xiao's power before.

Was still deeply shocked by Ye Xiao's actions at this moment.

However, Xue Ling was not the only one so shocked.

When Ye Xiao created the commotion.

Zhao Wu and his group from the Longyuan Legion had just arrived outside the Secluded Pool and happened to hear the commotion.

As the person in charge of the Longyuan Legion stationed in this Novice Realm.

Zhao Wu naturally understood that someone was besieging the boss.

Before coming, he had already understood the situation here through his subordinates.

Snow Phoenix's death was caused by an unknown expert appearing and snatching the boss.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in Zhao Wu's eyes.

He really wanted to know which fool dared to openly provoke in the Dragon Abyss Zhao Family's controlled area.

Immediately, he moved swiftly.

In the blink of an eye, he arrived around the Secluded Pool.

Just in time to see the boss fall.

At the same time, he also saw the two people standing in front of the boss.

Zhao Wu's expression changed slightly.

Two people besieging a boss?

In Zhao Wu's knowledge, even their Zhao Hao, who possessed SSS-grade Talent, probably couldn't do it, could he?

At the same time, Ye Xiao, who had just picked up the Skill Stone dropped by the boss, also turned around after hearing the commotion.

Looking at the young face in front of him.

Zhao Wu was stunned.

A new recruit?

This was the first thought that popped into his mind.

But in an instant, he was amused by his own judgment.

Zhao Wu knew Xue Ling on the side.

After all, as the person in charge of this area, he naturally knew all about Snow Phoenix's situation.

With Xue Ling's combat ability, she couldn't do anything against the Calamity Herald.

The only explanation, then, was that this young man in front of him had single-handedly killed the Calamity Herald.

Someone who could do this was definitely an expert above Six Revolutions.

This could also explain why Snow Phoenix had an accident.

He was clear about Snow Phoenix's strength.

It was absolutely impossible for a new recruit to deal with her.

His young master, Zhao Hao, who possessed SSS-grade Talent, had just completed his first promotion two years ago and had also sparred with Snow Phoenix.

But due to the huge level difference, he ultimately lost narrowly.

Even his young master, a prodigy, couldn't defeat Snow Phoenix.

He didn't believe anyone else could do it?

If that were true... wait.

Zhao Wu seemed to have suddenly thought of something.

His originally calm expression suddenly turned astonished at this moment.

He even exclaimed in a somewhat undignified manner: "You are, Night Shadow?!!!"

To be a regional head was not some insignificant role.

At this moment, Zhao Wu reacted and suddenly remembered.

Among this year's new recruits, there indeed appeared an incredibly powerful new recruit.

First, he achieved an SSS-grade rating in the Novice Realm, and then he conquered the level 20 Unowned Secret Realm, the Miasma Hidden Forest.

The strength displayed by this Night Shadow.

Had already subtly surpassed Zhao Hao from two years ago.

Just now, he was still thinking that the value of this Calamity Herald was not worth a Six Revolutions Professional spending such a great price to hunt personally.

But, if the opponent was that strongest new recruit, Night Shadow.

Then everything made sense.

Clearly, the reason this Night Shadow appeared here must be due to a job change mission.
