"Xiao Yi Xian, let Xiao Lan land up ahead! We'll rest here tonight." Looking at the setting sun on the horizon, Lin Ming turned to look at Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Lan on the Flying Magical Beast and said.

"Xiao Lan, land ahead!" As soon as Lin Ming finished speaking, Xiao Yi Xian gently patted the Flying Magical Beast Xiao Lan beneath her and said.

"Rage!"

Upon hearing Xiao Yi Xian's words, Xiao Lan let out a sharp cry from her eagle beak, then flapped her wings and descended downwards.

At night, Lin Ming and his two companions sat by the campfire.

"It's been half a month. If we travel for another day tomorrow, we'll reach Jin Huai State, where you are Su Xue," Lin Ming said, looking at Su Xue across from him.

Upon hearing that she was about to return to her country, Su Xue's melancholy expression softened with a hint of excitement.

Knowing Su Xue's general state of mind, Lin Ming didn't talk to Su Xue much more. After finishing his meal, Lin Ming, who had been traveling all day, went to rest on his own.

Nothing happened that night. As the first rays of sunlight shone in the morning, Lin Ming spread his wings and soared into the sky. Then, with a sharp cry, a Blue Eagle followed behind Lin Ming and took flight as well.

As time passed, a yellowish-brown line appeared in Lin Ming's eyes, and then, as the yellow line rose higher, a yellowish-brown city wall stood on the earth.

"Su Xue, Huang Yan City, where your home is, is just ahead!" Lin Ming said, looking at the earthen-yellow city walls.

"Young Master Lin, that's Huang Yan City." Su Xue, aboard the Flying Magical Beast, excitedly replied to Lin Ming as she saw the earthen-yellow city walls appearing ahead.

"Xiao Yi Xian, have Xiao Lan land nearby, then we'll walk over." After receiving Su Xue's affirmative reply, Lin Ming nodded and then said to Xiao Yi Xian.

Hearing Lin Ming's words, Xiao Yi Xian nodded. Then Xiao Lan descended into the Mountain Forest below.

As Su Xue walked along the main road, she noticed the strange looks the pedestrians gave her, and her brows furrowed unconsciously.

"Miss Su, you... you're still alive?" When Lin Ming and his group arrived at the city gate, the guards on guard saw Su Xue and immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"This is interesting!" Looking at the expressions of the pedestrians and guards, Lin Ming's lips curled up slightly as he thought to himself.

Upon hearing the guard's question, Su Xue instantly understood why the pedestrians had been looking at her with such strange expressions.

However, in order to find out the whole story, Su Xue looked at the guard with a gloomy expression and said, "What do you mean? Do you want me dead?"

"Miss Su, of course I wouldn't dare curse you. This matter was announced by your Su Family." Faced with Su Xue's question, the guard trembled in fright and immediately replied to Su Xue.

Su Xue knew, of course, that a guard wouldn't dare to curse her, so after the guard finished speaking, Su Xue said, "Tell me everything you know."

"Yes, yes!" The guard nodded immediately after Su Xue finished speaking, and then explained the whole story.

It turned out that on the second night after Su Xue's escape, the largest bandit Black Bandit Gang in the Jin Huai State launched a surprise attack on Huang Yan City under the cover of night.

Although Great Family in Huang Yan City were robbed by the arrival of the Black Bandit Gang, the Su Family, the most prominent family in Huang Yan City, suffered the most severe damage.

The Black Bandit Gang left most of their members at the Su Family, resulting in significant financial losses and numerous deaths for the Su Family.

If it weren't for the other families coming to the rescue after dealing with their own bandits, the Su Family have faced extermination.

With the combined efforts of the Great Family, the Black Bandit Gang was finally driven away. However, at this moment, Su Su let out a mournful howl.

"Save my niece!"

The heads of the various families could only shake their heads helplessly as they watched Su Su utter a single word, then cough up blood and faint.

After all, those captured weren't their own people, so who would want to go and Black Bandit Gang to the death? Besides, even the second master of the Su Family was seriously injured and had fainted, so no one was willing to go. Therefore, the heads of the various families took their leave one by one. At the same time, Su Xue, who hadn't been heard from for months, became a dead person whose body was nowhere to be found.

"Su Su!" After the guard told her the gist of what he knew, Su Xue gritted her teeth and spat out the two words.

The Black Bandit Gang didn't come earlier or later, but they did on the very second night after she disappeared. Su Xue would never believe that this had nothing to do with Su Su.

Therefore, this matter was definitely a conspiracy between Su Su and the Black Bandit Gang, used to cover up Su Su's murder of him and to take the opportunity to eliminate those who knew the truth.

One can imagine how large the number of people Su Su must have eliminated this time.

These people were all members of the Su Family, related to Su Xue and Su Su. But Su Su killed all of them to achieve his own goals. No wonder Su Xue hated Su Su so much.

Then, Su Xue addressed Lin Ming, saying, "Young Master Lin!"

"Don't worry! I'll abolish his cultivation and hand him over to you to deal with." Knowing what Su Xue wanted to say, Lin Ming replied after she spoke.

Lin Ming wouldn't hesitate to eliminate someone like Su Su, who would even harm his own blood relatives to achieve his goals. Moreover, Su Su was now blocking his path; even if Su Xue hadn't said anything, Lin Ming Su Su have already dealt with him.

"Thank you very much, Young Master Lin!" Su Xue immediately expressed her gratitude upon receiving Lin Ming's reply.

"Alright, let's go into town!" Lin Ming nodded and then spoke.

With Su Xue leading the way, Lin Ming and Xiao Yi Xian soon arrived at a luxurious mansion in the city. Although this mansion could not compare to the mansion of Lin Ming's family, the Mittel Family, Lin Ming had not seen any mansion in Huang Yan City that could be as luxurious as this one.

"Miss... you... you're not dead!" Upon arriving at the mansion's gate, the gatekeeper was about to reprimand that this was the Su Family residence and that unauthorized personnel were not allowed to linger. However, upon closer inspection, he realized that the woman was none other than his own mistress, whom he had declared dead. The guard stammered.

"Where Su Su?" Ignoring the guard's shocked expression, Su Xue immediately asked.

"Ever since the Second Master was injured and fell into a coma, he hasn't appeared." Hearing Su Xue's words, the gatekeeper was puzzled by Su Xue's direct address of his uncle by his name, but this was a matter concerning the master's family, and he, as the gatekeeper, had no right to ask. So even though he was puzzled, the gatekeeper only said that Su Xue had asked him about his affairs.

After the gatekeeper finished speaking, Lin Ming released his Soul Power to investigate. Then, with a slight frown on Lin Ming's brow, words came from his mouth.

"There's no trace of Dou Ling here, so Su Su must have gone to the Mine. Su Xue, take me directly to the Mine."
