Lord Xue Ying's

Chapter 56 – Background?

"Not good!" The gray-robed Meteor Knight trembled as he watched the teenager cast a spell scroll.

The teenager focused on him. Clearly, this young man was targeting the Meteor Knights with whatever powerful magic contained within the scroll.

Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong! Hong!

Several large green lightning bolts floated down from the clear sky, smashing into the ground and creating a virtual forest of electrically charged green bursts! Amongst these dense lightning..eight of them, twisting, attacked the Meteor Knight. The knight had no time to dodge. With the hong, his entire body was blurred into ashes.

Normally, without a spell scroll, even a Silver Moon mage would require significant casting time before being able to cast a powerful fifth-grade lightning spell; however, the power such magic generated was unimaginable.

"No!" The white-eyed man in white robes cried, hiding deep behind his shield. He gaped in fear at the scene of his knight's destruction, and exclaimed with wide-open eyes, "I'm—"

Hong!

His body was also shattered into fragments! He was too weak and had no hope of resisting a strong lightning strike.

A total of 99 huge green lightning bolts descended from the sky, resembling clumps of huge tree trunks. Such was the fifth grade spell - the Thunderbolt Forest!

Qing Shi was barely strong enough to focus the lightning that fell on that Meteor Knight. He did not have the mental strength to guide another lightning bolt, falling down like a huge green forest, onto another directed target. Since Qing Shi could only do his best to ensure the lightning struck towards the general direction of their enemy, it was their luck that a single powerful lightning actually struck the triangle-eyed teenager.

"Ah Ah Ah Ah." Some of the red armored riders were struck by the spell and also instantly perished.

Since the Snow Eagle Territory army was already scattered apart in a fairly wide pattern and their numbers were few, as Qing Shi guided the Thunderbolt Forest's barrage towards the enemy, none of his soldiers were shot.

"Running away."

"Hurry, escape."

The 20 red riders who were lucky enough to escape the effects of the Thunderbolt Forest, immediately jumped onto their horses and quickly retreated from the place. "Xiu." "Xiu." "Xiu." "Xiu."

The soldiers from the Snow Eagle Territory, realizing the opportunity, shot their Star Breaking Crossbows at the retreating enemy.

"It's okay now," Qing Shi pulled his girlfriend's hand over.

"I ... I ..." Ji Rong was still frightened, "We almost .. nearly died. It is fortunate that you, Qing Shi, have a powerful spell scroll with you. "

"My brother gave it to me to use as a protective treasure," Qing Shi never continued afterwards, as Xue Ying had actually ordered him to be quiet about the information regarding the whereabouts of his spell scroll. He only exposed them because of the near-death incident today ..

Immediately, the Snow Eagle Territory army returned from chasing the fleeing crimson riders ..

"Young master Qing Shi, most of the enemy soldiers actually escaped. Because using the Star Breaking Crossbow was so difficult, 16 of them actually escaped from us, ” said the head of the escort team.

“Clean this place. We're going back to Snowrock Castle now. ”Qing Shi, who was feeling uncomfortable, was instructed.

　　……

Nightly.

After getting a message from his servants about his brother's deadly encounter, Xue Ying along with Zong Ling and Tong San waited at the castle gate for Qing Shi's return. As the bridge drops slowly down and the castle gate opens.

Outside the castle, Qing Shi and his entourage brought with them some corpses of crimson riders.

"I will return to the Great Mage Building first," Ji Rong said in a low voice,

"Mn," Qing Shi nodded.

Door's open.

Qing Shi walked towards Xue Ying, head lowered, "Brother."

"Go back and rest first. We will talk more tonight, ”Xue Ying does not blame his brother for his actions. After all, he could see how confused Qing Shi was after dealing with a life-and-death situation for the first time. Qing Shi lightly nodded and disappeared into the castle.

"You, follow me," Xue Ying ordered.

The captain of the escort team immediately respectfully followed.

Both walk through the castle.

"What's going on?" Asked Xue Ying. Zong Ling and Tong San were also with him, listening to the explanation given.

"My Lord, today, as always, we are escorting the young master and Miss Ji Rong to the Rite Water City," the captain explained, in detail, what really happened to them. After finishing his report, he sighed, “It was fortunate that young master Qing Shi used that spell. Otherwise, not only are our two brothers in arms dying today. ”

The gray-robed knight was too fast. Before being attacked by the Thunderbolt Forest spell, he had already killed two soldiers of the Snow Eagle Region.

Xue Ying nodded, “Double the pension granted to those who died! As for their families, we will continue to support them. To the other soldiers who went with you, give each one 10 pieces of silver. ”

"Thank you, my Lord," Captain Wu said in gratitude.

"Do you know who that white-robed young master is?" Xue Ying asked.

"No, I don't. But with his spoken accent, it seems that he is not part of our Water Rite City, ” replied Captain Wu.

Xue Ying frowned.

Difficulty is happening.

Without a doubt, Xue Ying's younger brother had killed a noble child. Whether this matter will be blown up, only time will tell! According to imperial law, Qing Shi acted completely in self-defense! If the young master who died was part of an ordinary clan, then this matter would probably be considered closed off. However, if the white-robed young man came from a large clan, then this matter would not be easily resolved. Problems will come knocking on their doors.

“Xue Ying, since the young master Qing whom he killed was not part of the Water Rite City, then investigating his identity would be difficult. The entire Azure River Region was simply too big, having many noble clans. Who knows which clan he came from? ”Head Zong Ling throbbed just imagining searching for the identity of this youngster among the millions of noble houses in the county.

"Did you take the young man's body with you?" Asked Xue Ying.

"Is there a hostage?"

“At that time, our brothers were all so angry that we gave no mercy to the enemy. Every time we shot them with our Star Breaking Crossbow, it was a fatal wound. We even killed those who were too wounded to fight, "said Captain Wu," No hostages were held. "

After hearing all of this, Xue Ying's terrifying aura began to leak from his body.

Identifying one's enemy shouldn't be this difficult.

'Shit!'

If anyone dared to contact him and accuse him of using the law, Xue Ying would argue that his brother was the victim and had acted in self-defense! On the other hand, if one were to try to take revenge illegally, regardless of whether they were the strongest person in the Azure River Region - the terrifying Si Liang Hong or Xiang Pang Yun ... Xue Ying was not afraid. Xue Ying wondered if he was too worried about this matter. Any noble clan that came from this dead young noble should not be so powerful.

"Investigate," Xue Ying ordered, "Use their things to see if you can find any clues as to who they are."

"I will arrange it" Zong Ling said. He was meticulous and meticulous in his work and thought, "Three hours is enough."

"If you still can't figure out where they came from, I guess I should ask for the Dragon Mountain Manor's help," Xue Ying concluded.

　　******

The Third Division stationed in Azure River County was actually located somewhere near the Desolation Range Mountains.

Normally, the guards stationed in various cities in the Azure River Region were from the Si Clan. As for those stationed in the Mountain Range of Desolation, they were actually Imperial warriors! Being imperial soldiers, they were even stronger and more mysterious. The Clan could only borrow on some of the relationships they had with the empire to influence the imperial soldiers stationed in their territory. However, it was impossible to have complete control over these soldiers.

As for the support behind the imperial army, it was a powerful force. Every time a large army army entered the Desolation Mountains, a Transcendent would be behind the scenes to lead the army!

Third Division, inside the spacious house.

"The second elder."

"Young master has died."

Some soldiers awkwardly stood there.

Sitting in front of them was a one-eyed officer. The one-eyed attendant's expression turned so gloomy that tears could be seen forming in his single eyes. “Young master is really dead? All useless trash, trash! My brother is going crazy, for sure! Tell me who did this. And why did he die? "

"Yes," The soldiers hastily described the entire incident.

The more the one-eyed attendant heard, the more his facial expression twitched.

The fact that he could become the commander of the logistics department of the Third Division was due to his brother spending a lot of gold and utilizing his connections for this to happen. His brother is actually crazy. In the entire Azure River Region, everyone called him the loyal dog of the Si Clan! But why do they use the word 'dog' as an expression? It was precisely because her brother was so batty, that he often did things as crazy as a mad dog.

As for the young master of 'Cui Hu' who died? He is the only son of his brother!

“Snow Eagle Region, Dong Bo's younger brother Xue Ying? Dong Bo Qing Shi? "That one-eyed officer gritted his teeth," How dare he kill someone from our Cui Clan! Dong Bo Qing Shi must die! His brother must die too! The entire Snow Eagle Region must compensate for his death! "

Originally, during that meeting, these soldiers had no idea who the other young masters were. All they knew was that he was only from the controlling clan of the Snow Eagle Territory. But since Ji Rong was calling out his name, they now knew he was actually Dong Bo Qing Shi - Xue Ying's younger brother. As a result, they understood who the enemy was.

"It's better to send a message as soon as possible to my brother," The one-eyed officer did not hesitate at all. Utilizing the Empire's army network, he sent a message to notify his brother in Azure River County! After all, being the commander of the logistics department, sending a simple message to his home was a small matter that was easy to solve.

On a high mountain 16 km from where the Third Division is located.

A coyote with a snow-white body and pitch-black legs stood up, watching the Third Division from a distant place. Dark dark Qi surrounded the coyote. While this dog looked only a few months old with a hint of tenderness on its body, its eyes showed a desolate sadness and endless hatred.

He had just been born into this world not long ago, yet his mother had already been killed by the people.

A while ago…

Soldiers also killed the coyote's father before bringing his father's body to their camp. Using his natural instincts, the young coyote was able to follow the soldiers all the way to this location, but the young coyote did not enter their camp precisely out of fear.

"Child," A soft voice rang out beside the coyote amongst the dark qi gathered beside him. That dark Qi finally formed into a black-robed, white-haired, old man. With a loving expression, he asked, "Do you hate the human race?"

Coyote looked at this old man, before furiously angry despite his natural inclination towards gentleness.

Hates.

Hates them so much!

“Your parents are just some ordinary creatures, but in your hands is an incredible power. However, this power must be fully controlled before you can have a chance to avenge you against the human race, "The black-robed and white-haired old man reached out his hand, You see, displaying a strange bone stick in it, "I'll give you this chance."

Omm—

Waves of blood-colored energy gushed out from the bone stick, enveloping the coyote's body. The coyote begins to transform under a blood-red magical stream, slowly, it becomes increasingly upright, with its fur disappearing from the naked eye and its four legs turning into human limbs. The dog's head slowly changed, with human facial features gradually appearing.

For just a moment, a naked five-six-year-old boy stood right at the coyote spot.

“This is your human body - a true human body. No one will be able to find a weakness that suggests that you are not human, "the black-robed, white-haired old man said, "Only when you can fully assimilate with the human world, You can have a better chance of your revenge. Lefs go. But before you enter the human world, it is better if you follow me for 10 years. For now, call me .. Dad! "

"Yes. Fa... that? ”The child stuttered. Even though he stuttered his words, what came out was still coherent.

“Very amazing. Turning into a human a moment ago however, he could already speak, "The black-robed and white-haired old man smiled," Let's go. "

A sea of black qi enveloped the two of them ...

And followed the two as they disappeared into the background.
