“So it is Family Head Xu.”
After hearing the black-robed man's words, Guan Xi Lin then managed to recall who he was. The Xu Family was like the Guan Family, the two families could only be considered a middle-tier family clan in Cloudy Moon City. But the Xu Family had little to do with the Guan Family and even though Guan Xi Lin had never met the Head of the Xu Family, among the families named Xu in Cloudy Moon City who had great influence, only one Xu Family was.
“What does Family Head Xu mean by killing your people? Could there be a misunderstanding behind all this?”
Even though that was what he said with words, his mind spun at a great speed. He guessed that the matter was somehow definitely related to Feng Jiu but he did not dare to admit it directly at that moment.
As for the gray-robed old man, Guan Xi Lin found him even stranger. He had never seen the man before but he had been able to uncover Little Jiu's barrier and it didn't seem like an ordinary old man.
When he thought that, he approached Leng Hua behind him and said in a low voice: “You found a chance to escape! Don't let them catch you.”
Although Leng Hua was a bit confused, she managed to calm herself down at that moment.
During the recent period, his body had been treated to a total recovery and his body had been replenished quite well. But, he had never practiced any cultivation and could not cross swords at all with these people. If he stayed behind, he would only distract the Young Master and he might as well find a way to tell the Madam and her elder sister about this.
After deciding that, he retreated a little.
“Misunderstanding? Ahahaha! Claim an incredible misunderstanding!”
The head of the Xu Family laughed out loud before stopping abruptly and his bloodthirsty and evil gaze fell on Guan Xi Lin. “My son, my second brother, with two Elders from the Xuku Family who were killed by the poor girl's hand and you think that can be solved just by claiming it as a misunderstanding? Aren't you too naive!?”
As expected!
Guan Xi Lin's heart sank. Little Jiu was the one who killed the people from the Xu Family. But when did this happen? Why doesn't he know anything about that?
“Where is that poor girl? Bring him here to accept death!” The head of the Xu Family shouted deeply, his gaze looking around. Even after making a big fuss, other than Guan Xi Lin in the courtyard, he only saw another young man who had no cultivation at all.
“What I have promised His Majesty, I will definitely fulfill it. In the current situation, the most important thing is that we look for answers in the location of the poor girl.” Immediately after saying that, he ordered: “Catch them both!”
“Running!” Guan Xi Lin shouted and pushed Leng Hua behind him, while he blocked the attack coming from the front.
‘About! clink!’
‘Desir!’
The clash of sword blades was clearly heard in the night air, as a sharp energy arc shot past him. Guan Xi Lin held his sword before him to withstand the attacks from the black-robed people, struggling in a desperate attempt to get another moment for Leng Hua to escape.
After all, he was not Feng Jiu. Although his combat abilities had improved, but against these people who were carefully selected and brought here by the Head of the Xu Family, it became clear that he was unrivalled. Moreover, it was one against ten and after a while, his white underwear had already been stained with blood.
But for the black-robed man to capture him without taking the risk of having to take his life, proved to be a difficult feat for them. Hence, the Head of the Xu Family after watching them for a while, shouted.
“Useless garbage!”
He leaped flying through the air as a thick and intense mystic power gathered in his palm before he attacked.
‘Bam!’
‘Suara whizzing!’
Guan Xi Lin was sent flying by his palm strike, and at the same time his body flew back, a mouthful of blood spurted out from him and even before he could stand up after falling to the ground, nearly ten long swords had already pressed down his throat, not letting him move in the slightest.
