Chapter 114: A Small Ripple
Ling Xiao's eyes widened as he stared at Qierci's finger, which was pointing at his own forehead. Before he could react, a massive amount of information flooded into his mind, almost causing him to faint from the sheer volume.
Zi Tuo's fingers only stayed on Leng Tong's forehead for less than five breaths before she withdrew them and said, "I've given you all that I know. If you want to go, focus your mind, especially when entering the Devil Forest. If you can get through the Devil Forest, you still have half a chance of reaching the South Sea."
"Thank you, Elder Qi." Leng Xiao was a man who drew clear lines between love and hate. Although Qierci had been very rude to him the first time they met, he had also been standing up for himself, so Leng Xiao had never held any grudges against him.
Zite's eyes stared at Leng Tongyun, and the latter felt a chill in his heart under Zite's gaze. Just as he was about to speak, Zite spoke up: "Be careful, if you really can't make it, come back, I'll accompany you on this trip even if it means breaking my promise."
Thank you, Elder Qi, for your kindness and generosity. Thank you, Your Majesty, for the hospitality over the past few days. Farewell!
"Be careful all the way." Long Ziyuan and others said in unison.
"Little White, let's go." Ling Xiao flipped onto the unicorn's back and whispered a sentence to it. The unicorn spread its four hooves and galloped towards the outer edge of the forest, like a flash of white light, disappearing from Long Zijin and others' sight in the blink of an eye.
"Lao Qi, why are you so concerned about this young man?" An elder saw Leng Xiao Yao leave.
Only then did he ask out the doubts in his mind.
"Is that so, Elder Qi? Do you have some realization?" The other elders chimed in, each with an expectant look on their faces as they gazed at Qierci, seemingly wanting to see something from her expression.
"Inexpressible, inexpressible, hehe" Zita mysteriously left a sentence behind, with a smile.
The voice left the conference hall.
In the southwest direction, a white shadow was flying rapidly in the void. Suddenly, this rapid shadow received some kind of hint and actually slowed down gradually. Then, the white figure, like a wild goose, rushed from the void to the ground.
"Huff, huff, huff" A few streams of hot air shot out from the snow-white nostrils of the unicorn.
The continuous journey also made this strong unicorn feel tired.
Leng Xiangyao glanced around and found himself already in the territory of Nan Chau, a faint bitter smile appeared on his face as he thought to himself: "If the people of Nan Chau knew that the descendant of the Leng family from Tian Long had arrived on their soil, how would they treat him?"
"Drip, drip" The unicorn seemed to understand that its master was deep in thought, so it spread out
Four hooves, following their master all the way.
One man and one horse were advancing aimlessly like this when suddenly a loud shout awakened the contemplative Cold Wanderer.
"Hey kid, stop staring! I'm talking to you, are you selling this horse or not?" a man with a face
A young man with a frivolous expression shouted at Leng Xiangyang.
"Horse?" Leng Xiangyao was stunned for a moment, and the next moment, he smiled, and it turned out that there were still people in the world who thought of unicorns as horses. Indeed, unicorns and horses looked too similar, if you ignored the horn on top of the unicorn's head, they really didn't look much different from ordinary horses. If you had to say what was different, it would be their aura - unicorns emitted a clear, natural, noble aura that no horse could ever possess.
Lai Pi, the son of Linshan City's lord, was a frivolous and violent person. With his father being the city lord, he had the best conditions to cultivate, but unfortunately, he was born as a spoiled rich kid. After cultivating for over a decade, he barely reached the level of a high-ranking warrior, thanks to his father using many precious materials and treasures to boost him up. Every day, he would only hang out with his friends, occasionally bringing some guards to go hunting outside the city. Today, he brought some guards and friends out of the city and caught sight of the pure white horse beside Leng Xianyao, and his eyes were immediately drawn to it.
"Not bad, I want to buy your horse, how much does it cost?" Lai Piao said with a proud face.
The color of money seems to be able to solve everything in his eyes.
Leng Xiangyao shook his head, a faint smile on his face, and turned to continue walking towards the city with the unicorn. After rushing for a day and night, his stomach was already protesting, so he wanted to enter the city to fill it up.
Leng Xiao Yao's actions infuriated the group of hooligans standing next to Lai Pong, and immediately a young master jumped out, pointing at Leng Xiao Yao and shouting angrily: "You little brat, are your ears deaf? Didn't you hear what Young Master Lai said?"
Never had Lai Pi been so scorned, seeing Leng Xiao Yao being so ungrateful, he couldn't help but feel a thread of anger in his heart. However, seeing his friends jump out to speak up for him, he swallowed the words that were on the tip of his tongue and decided to see what attitude this person would take.
Drip, drip, cold and carefree, the unicorn seemed to not hear the people behind him talking, still walking forward as if nothing was wrong, not putting those people behind him in his eyes at all.
Anger, indignation, Lai Pi felt such anger for the first time. In Linshan City, no one had ever dared to disobey his words before. For the first time, he was being so despised, how could this person not make him angry?
"Take him down." Lai Pi gave the order to the guards behind him.
"Yes, young master." Several guards who were part of Lai Pong's personal entourage often followed their young master to seek pleasure and also helped him do many cruel and unjust things. However, every time something happened, they were suppressed by the city lord, so over time, they developed a psychology of fearing neither heaven nor earth. These guards also developed a habit, thinking that whatever troubles their young master caused would be borne by the city lord, so they clung even tighter to their young master's leg. At this moment, when they heard their young master's order, they immediately became energetic and lively, imagining how they would torture this country bumpkin. Unfortunately, they never expected that they were not dealing with a country bumpkin, but rather a super-large iron plate.
Suddenly, Leng Xiao Yao felt a burst of air coming from behind him and saw several guards trying to grab his hands. He quickly dodged their grasp and continued walking forward, believing that these guards wouldn't bother him again if they had any brains.
Unfortunately, the reality was not as cool and carefree as he thought. Those guards saw that they had failed to capture him, feeling embarrassed that several people couldn't even subdue a country bumpkin, and their young master was still watching from behind. What a humiliating thing! As a result, those guards were enraged, immediately drawing out the long swords they wore on their bodies and striking at Leng Xiao Yao.
Leng Han's eyebrows furrowed slightly, he hadn't expected these guards to be so unreasonable, attacking innocent people with their weapons for no reason. If it wasn't him today, but an ordinary civilian instead, they would have been killed by these guards. Thinking of this, a strange feeling of annoyance surged up in Leng Han's heart.
He dodged the few long swords that came from behind, and in his heart, he had been suppressing a murderous aura. The Tree of Life in the Spirit Clan had once told him that there was a destructive power within him, and he must control it, otherwise, if he was controlled by this destructive power, he would become a mindless killing machine, seeing people and killing them. So when the murderous aura surged up earlier, he had been desperately suppressing it, not wanting to take action and kill anyone, lest he be controlled by that power and become a killing machine.
Leng Xiangyao turned around and gazed at the several guards who were still standing in a daze, his voice cold as he said, "Everyone, don't force me to take action."
"Are you going to hand it over?" Several guards were stunned at first, and the next moment, several guards burst out laughing. One of them even shouted: "You little boy, who do you think you are? My young master has taken a liking to your white horse, it's your good fortune! Leave the white horse behind, and we'll let you go, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?" Leng Xiao's eyes also started to turn cold, the murderous intent in his heart growing stronger.
"Otherwise, you little brat won't even know how to die, and the white horse is also my young master's. The guard explained with a smile on his face, as if the cold and arrogant life was in his hands at this moment."
One of the guards seemed dissatisfied with his companion chatting idly with Leng Xiang, and interrupted directly: "Old Wang, what are you wasting words on this country bumpkin for? Just kill him, we still have to report back to Young Master!"
Four guards rushed towards Leng Tianyun, each holding a long sword in their hands, with faint sword aura emanating from the blades. It seemed that they also knew that Leng Xiao had some cultivation on his body, otherwise they wouldn't have used their fighting energy. They appeared to be determined to kill Leng Xiao.
"What's the cultivation level of these swordsmen?" Leng Xiao Yao saw the colors on the four swords and immediately discerned the cultivation levels of the four guards. Seeing that they didn't care about anything and just wanted to kill him and take his white horse, the killing intent in his heart could no longer be tolerated. He clenched his fists tightly, and in an instant, his figure moved.
"Bang, bang, bang, bang!" Four loud crashes rang out, and four figures shot out like kites with their strings cut, flying straight out for over ten meters before falling to the ground one by one, kicking up a cloud of dust.
Lai Pi and several other rich young masters originally had a look of watching a good show on their faces, but when they saw this sudden change, they were all stunned, each with an incredulous expression staring at Leng Xiao Yao as if to see if the person who just made the move was really Leng Xiao Yao.
Puff, puff, puff, the sound of continuous bleeding echoed, and the four attacking guards looked at Leng Xiangyang with a look of horror on their faces, as if the shock caused by Leng Xiangyang was extremely great.
"If I see you again next time, kill Wudi" Leng Xiao Yao left a cold sentence.
Carrying the unicorn, he continued walking towards Linshan City.
