At the city lord's mansion, inside the great hall, was currently sitting a middle age man with a gloomy expression on his face, 3 subordinates were kneeling in front of him not daring to raise their heads.
for a long period of time, the silence was deafening. Until the city lord finally spoke.
" ..... find him, no matter who's the one who took him, no matter where they are hiding, find my son's corpse. If you fail, you know the consequences ... "
" Yes, my lord! "
With that, the 3 subordinates stood up and vanished like a mirage.
With a sorrowful expression, he said while looking at the sky.
" My wife, I failed to protect our son... How can I face you... "
The 3 subordinates were tracking the traces of Xiao Feng since the last time he disappeared, with the testimony of the fairy maiden and her sister, they knew where to search first.
It was not longer than one day than they found out where he was with the information they gathered.
However, they didn't barge in on Qianli's house, they calmy observed the situation first. Their priority was, after all, to recuperate the young master's corpse if they fail to do so, not only the Lord's punishment will be severe, but they would also fail up the reputation of the ghost squad.
The city lord Xiao Yang was a powerful warrior, he looked like 40 years old. The King gave him this position 10 years ago because of certain circumstances, since then he trained a multitude squads under him.
The ghost squad was one of the elite squads in the kingdom, it was composed of three siblings raised by the city lord in secret, they are near 25 years old and they were trained very well, in this city... no even in the entire kingdom other than the city lord, they were one of the most powerful squad, they only report to him or the king himself.
Right now, the 3 subordinates were still quietly watching, blending in the bushes.
S1: " it's been 4 hours now, do we go in? "
S2: " I think we should wait, maybe the enemy will go out and then we can recuperate the corpse. "
S3: " Mind your words, he is the city lord's son, not some cabbage you pick up in the streets! "
S2: " Hmph... He is just a trash"
S1: " Don't start fighting now, the enemy may notice us. And second brother, third brother's words are correct, he is still after all the city lord's son. "
S2: " Yes yes, if you say so... "
Xiao Feng who was currently still in a shocked and embarrassed situation was wearing his pants and tore shirt very fast. Then he remembered that moment earlier with the girl in front of him, and his nose began to bleed.
The blood was rushing out like a fountain, he tried to stop it but that only made his clothes tattered with it.
" I need to get out now ... "
He rushed toward the door, and run outside very fast ...
S1: " The door opened !"
At his sound, the 2 brothers who were still arguing among themselves stopped, and diverted their full attention to the young man leaving the house.
S3: " Ho... How is it possible ?! He is still alive??? "
S2: " Our information told us that he was dead, it must be a joke right? "
S1: "He looks quite panicked, look on his shirt.... there is blood and it's torn apart! "
S2: " Is it those damn body sellers?! they wanted to take his organs and sell it off?? "
S3: " F**k! I'm gonna bite them to death! "
S1: " Anyway, priorities first, Second brother, go knock him out and take him to the city lord, Our master will be rejoicing when he finds out that his son is alive "
S3: " Wait, let me ...."
S1: " No, you come with me, we don't know who the enemies are, it will be bad if they flew away, our Lord will punish us if we don't even know their identities "
S3: " Urgh..."
S1: " Let's begin! "
At the signal, the 3 brothers rushed from the bushes, the second brother like he was told with a swift fast movement he tried to knock Xiao Feng.
Little did he know that the little guy raised his cultivation by 5 ranks in 2 days.
Xiao Feng who instinctively tried to protect himself but was not fast enough to stop the incoming danger, pained when the palm attack touched the back of his head.
" AAargh! "
The two brothers who were rushing to the door stopped when they heard the scream, they turned around and found out the second brother standing not moving, and the young master rolling on the floor in pain.
S1: " ..... "
S3: " ....."
Damn it brother, I know you don't like him for being trash, but why be so fierce?! are you trying to beat him up and kill him instead of saving him?!
The second brother began cursing, fu*k! I only tried to knock you out, why are you still awake?! Damn it! I guess I have to take him like this.
He attacked a second time Xiao Feng on his stomach this time with a fierce punch and tried to lift him up on his shoulder.
Xiao Feng who already was curling in pain and didn't understand or see the assailant tried to get back up when the second subordinate was lifting him on his shoulders. He slipped and with his unbalanced body and barely awake, he hit the floor very hard. His head was bleeding and a swollen bulge was visible.
The second subordinate not believing what just happened turned to look at his brothers with a shocked expression.
Damn it! Fu*k you! FU*K YOU!!! You're really trying to finish him off you bas*ard! Do you know what will happen to us if the city lords finds out that the young master was still alive and then when we were trying to save him you hit him twice and crushed his head on the ground and then killed him off "accidentally" ?! FU*K THIS EXCUSE IS WORSE THAN SAYING TO HIM THAN FLYING PIGS BURNED THE HOUSE WITH FIRE FROM THEIR MOUTH!
With no way to excuse himself, he picked up Xiao Feng and flew to the city lord's mansion to get the young master treated.
S3: " THAT'S WHY I SAID TO LET ME BE THE ONE WHO Takes CARE OF HIM! "
S1: "... "
Then suddenly, they sensed a strange but deathly stare at their back. They turned around and saw a beautiful girl with a rosy pink face and wet hair, starring at them with her red fiery eyes.
Qianli who was enjoying her warm bath heard the screaming outside, she rushed to the door and wore her kimono in a hurry to find out what's happening.
She opened the door and saw a commotion outside, she saw the three man, two of them were watching the third guy picking the curled Xiao Feng, then when he tried to get off he hit his head hard on the floor.
She stood there in shock for a while. When the two-man finally noticed her, she grew mad and with a quick movement, she formed seals with her hand.
I just wanted to rest for a little while before the exam, but you dare to come here and kidnap my potential disciple and you hurt him too. Are you tired of living?!
Formation Array activate, Hell's hound!
Qianli who was weak and without the talent to cultivation didn't waste all her time trying to cultivate.
When she was still studying, she divided her time learning formations arrays and seals.
The formations array and seals didn't depend on one's cultivation, but on the time they prepared and the items used.
Qianli, when she bought the house, made some safe formations in case of trouble arose.
Hell's hound formation was for that purpose.
The fu*k, what's with this dogs?!
The two men were currently fighting a big dog with three heads that popped out of nowhere. No matter how many time they slashed it, he wouldn't stop attacking them, he was like a demon that was akin to an immortal ghost. The only way to beat him is to destroy the formation or kill the creator, or simply... wait till the energy runoff.
S1: " We need to go, now! "
S3: " But brother, the enemy is right in front of us..."
S1: "Are you stupid? who knows if she has another trick up her sleeve. Damn it, of all the things she had to be a formation master !"
Formation masters are referred to people who enjoy laying formations whenever they fight; The more they have time to lay a formation, the better the quality. Some formations were known to have defeated Master realms before.
Sadly, because formations and seals were lost since ancient times, and it was hard to find someone who teaches them, people who are considered as formation warriors were very very hard to find in not only the mortal plane but all the other planes too.
Qianli was one of the lucky people who inherited the formations and seals, and not any one of them, but the supreme formations of the world!
Qianli who was at awe at what to do, couldn't help but get mad at her actions earlier.
One of the weak sides of a formation was that it was limited to a certain place when the two-man turned their back and run off the disappeared without a trace, she couldn't follow them off, it was akin to suicide! she had no way to fight them since she didn't take her items and left her spacial storage ring in the house.
By the time she reorganized her thoughts, she decided to go to the city right way, to find traces of Xiao Feng.
It was going to be a terribly long night...
