However...
âThis! Howâs it possible! How did this happen!â Lou Jinglei grasped the letter. His expression had dramatically worsened even though he had only read it halfway.
âFamily head? What happened? Did First Young Master...â Steward Lou concernedly asked.
Lou Jingleiâs hand grasping the letter suddenly tightened, and veins popped up on his forehead. He resembled a lion that had lost control. With bloodshot eyes, he said in extreme grief, âItâs Shuyin... Shuyin, she is deadâ
âWhat? Young Miss... Howâs it possible! Wasnât she together with Princess Xueqing? Who is so daring to actually...â
Boom!
Lou Jinglei smashed the wooden table with a punch.
âIt was a group of damned foreigners! The letter says that Princess Xueqing and Shuyin were secretly attacked by someone while they were on the way back to Fengyang prefecture. Princess Xueqing used a secret art and managed to barely escape. However, as she had expended too much energy, she fainted before she could talk about the details when she returned to the Imperial City. She has yet to awake even now.â Lou Jinglei could not hold back his anger. His expression became ferociously twisted as he said, âGo, check! Thoroughly check for me! Who dared to hurt Shuyin and Princess Xueqing!
âNot only do we want to account for the princess, we also want to extract a debt of blood from Shuyinâs killer!â
âYes!â

âWeâve reached. Itâs here.â
Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng were perched on a tall bush in the deeper area of Qingyun Mountain.
Below them, dozens of people from the Wind Demon Gate dressed in black and red strange long robes stood neatly in line.
âIs it certain that itâs here? I can see nothing.â
âItâs because of the boundary. As long as we surpass the boundary, weâll be able to see the Phantom Demon Heart Fire. Itâs just what is up with these people from Wind Demon Gate? Why are they also here?â Lou Qianxue softly conversed with Gong Sunheng as she frowned and looked below.
With these people around, it was impossible for the two of them to silently surpass the boundary.
They were still talking when...
Suddenly!
âMiss! I have an important matter to report!â A person from Wind Demon Gate pathetically rushed over.
âHuh? Whatâs the matter?â A cold and hoarse voice came from a young woman in the middle.
âA man and a woman appeared in Qingyun Mountain. They disobeyed the prohibition and killed many of our people.â
âItâs them again!â Before the woman could speak, a few people from the Wind Demon Gate beside her furiously said, âIs it two good-looking young cultivators? They also killed our companions!â
âAnd ours.â
âOurs too.â
Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng observed what was happening. The people who had spoken up had previously escaped from their hands...
The people from the Wind Demon Gate were very strong-willed. They did not reveal anything despite being caught and even killed themselves by biting their tongues. After forcing a few of them to speak, Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng had found their efforts to be futile and hadnât asked them any further questions. Instead, they directly killed them since it did not really matter to the two of them. Hence, when these Wind Demon Gate cultivators escaped, the two also did not intentionally chase them...
The two of them did not expect these people to come here and complain.
âBlack Elder.â The womanâs voice was cold. âLook for them and kill them.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYes, Miss,â a strange elder with a powerful aura replied.
âThe rest of you,â the woman continued talking, âImmediately sent a signal for help after seeing those two people. Be sure to kill them. They are absolutely not allowed to come near here.â
âYes!â
Soon, the forest was silent again.
Lou Qianxue and Gong Sunheng sat on the branches of the bushes and frowned as they pondered. âShould we show ourselves?â
âWait first. I keep feeling that something is not right.â
After a long time again, without any warning, movements appeared below...
A piercing bright light suddenly lit up in front of the young woman.
