At the foot of Cang Mountain in the dark night, a thick scent of blood pervaded, with the bodies of low-rank martial artists scattered everywhere.
Qing Luan followed closely behind Ouyang Haoxuan. Her heart couldn’t help but twitch as she passed by these bodies.
Besides these bodies, there were scattered fragments of tables and chairs, as well as broken dishes and food.
Tonight was supposed to be the auspicious day of the wedding, but these people took it as an opportunity to slaughter and seize the treasure.
Lou Family, Green Vine Clan, why are they so greedy and vicious? Why are they not willing to give Master and Miss even a day of happiness?

Now, all they could do was to ensure Xiao Chi was returned to Miss’s side, to make sure Xiao Chi remained unharmed and alive.
As she was thinking this, she saw Ouyang Haoxuan’s figure suddenly sway sharply and retreat quickly in one direction.
However, even with such speed, it was still too late.
A blue-cyan fire exploded before Ouyang Haoxuan, accompanied by a sizzling sound in the air, similar to the sound of meat being grilled.
“Xiao Chi, Young Master Ouyang—!” Qing Luan screamed and rushed over.
When she saw the bloody and indistinct wound on Ouyang Haoxuan’s chest, which was even rotting due to the poison, she immediately gasped in shock.
“Hey, what a surprise. He actually blocked that lethal blow.”
From the darkness, a young man’s voice carried a hint of amusement as it reached out.
Upon hearing the voice, Qing Luan was startled, and she looked over in fear.
Under the moonlight, not far from the two, stood a man who appeared to be in his mid-twenties. His slender fingertips were toying with a ball of blue-cyan flame, and his gaze upon Ouyang Haoxuan was one of cruel interest.
“You…who are you?” Qing Luan didn’t realize that her voice was sharp because of fear.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe man chuckled, not even deigning to glance at Qing Luan but instead focusing on Xiao Chi behind Ouyang Haoxuan. “Qian Yu is right. This youth is indeed a bit peculiar. Tsk, I heard he’s Xi Yue’s brother; maybe he’s another treasure!”
After speaking to himself, the man’s gaze then shifted to Ouyang Haoxuan. “I’m Lou Yuqing, the disciple of the Lou Family. Young man, seeing as you managed to evade my Endless Void Flame, I will spare your life as long as you hand over that young man on your back to me. How about it?”
Ouyang Haoxuan slightly lowered his eyelids, concealing his pupils and revealing no emotion.
With a wave of his hand, he unstrapped Xiao Chi from his back and pushed him toward Qing Luan, “Xi Yue is inside the Sealed Dragon Domain. Take Xiao Chi there.”
Qing Luan’s eyes were bloodshot. Tears burning her pupils, so fervent and painful.
But this time, she did not refuse again. Instead, she used the golden silk to tie herself and Xiao Chi together firmly. “Don’t worry, even if I die, even if my soul is shattered, I will make sure to bring Xiao Chi to the lady.”
After Qing Luan finished speaking, she didn’t pause and quickly ran toward the direction of the Sealed Dragon Domain.
Lou Yuqing did not chase after her. However, he seemed to have heard a funny joke, “I think your cultivation level is only Nascent Soul Stage, right? Do you know how high my cultivation level is?”
Ouyang Haoxuan looked calm and did not answer.
Lou Yuqing continued, “I heard that it was my cousin, Luo Wushuang, who chopped off your arm. Haha, but do you know that my cultivation is even higher than hers? She is merely in the advanced level of the Soul Splitting Stage, while I have just reached the peak of the Soul Splitting stage.”
