Regret and Begging for Mercy? Kill!

Jia Lie Bi and Aoba Pa tilted their heads back, their faces instantly turning pale. Their legs trembled uncontrollably before they collapsed to the ground with a heavy thud.

Master Liu also looked up, and upon seeing the figure in the sky clearly, his pupils constricted until they were the size of pinpricks.

Liu Xi, who had been clamoring just a second ago, slumped directly onto the ground, his trousers gradually darkening in color.

He had been scared out of his wits!

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

Even Xiao Zhan, the three elders, and the others stood with their mouths agape, unable to utter a single sound.

The figure that had appeared in the sky at some unknown moment was entirely shrouded in a black robe.

The loose black robe concealed everything, making it impossible to discern their physique or face.

The reason everyone present was so terrified was because behind that person, a pair of wings was slowly flapping.

The wings were as white as snow and shaped like flames, yet they radiated an intense, chilling aura.

Dou Qi Wings!

At this moment, four words flashed through everyone's minds.

On the Dou Qi Continent, for Dou Qi to be projected externally, one required sufficient strength.

Starting from the Dou Shi realm, one could barely manifest a Dou Qi gauze.

A Dou Grandmaster could condense Dou Qi armor.

But to manifest Dou Qi wings and fly through the air, one needed to be at least a Dou King.

In other words, the person hovering above them was at least a Dou King.

Whether it was Jia Lie Bi, Aoba Pa, or even that third-tier alchemist, they were all merely at the Dou Grandmaster level.

They didn't even reach the level of a Dou Ling!

Facing a mysterious person who was at least a Dou King, the shock to their hearts was unimaginable.

Aoba Pa turned his head abruptly, his gaze fixed on Jia Lie Bi as if he wanted to devour him alive.

You bastard!

The Xiao Clan has such a powerful expert behind them, and you tricked me into boarding your sinking ship!

Jia Lie Bi, being stared at, had grievances he couldn't voice.

During this period, he had constantly arranged for people to monitor the Xiao Clan and had never seen any mysterious person appear.

Coupled with Lord Liu's backing, he had been certain the Xiao Clan wouldn't dare compete with him in alchemy, assuming the alchemist behind them couldn't be very strong.

Who could have known that...

"My Lord, My Lord, this is a misunderstanding, I..." the third-tier alchemist began to beg for mercy.

But the next second, he was interrupted by a miserable scream as flames radiating a chilling cold rose from beneath his feet, rapidly engulfing his entire body.

Even though he tried to block it with his Dou Qi, it had no effect whatsoever.

Immediately after, more and more people began to scream in agony.

Xiao Zhan stared blankly at this scene. In the blink of an eye, the men brought by Jia Lie Bi and Aoba Pa, along with the two men themselves, were all reduced to piles of black ash.

"My Lord..." Recovering his senses, Xiao Zhan had just opened his mouth when he froze again.

The mysterious person was gone.

"Father, the opportunity for our Xiao Clan has arrived. Now that the elite members of the Jia Lie and Aoba clans are all dead, it is time to counterattack!"

Xiao Yan said excitedly.

Hearing the voice, Xiao Zhan turned around.

From the elders down to the ordinary members of the Xiao Clan, every single face was filled with intense fighting spirit!

"All members of the Xiao Clan, listen to my orders! The Great Elder and Second Elder will lead a team to the Aoba Clan. The Third Elder and I will lead a team to the Jia Lie Clan!"

Xiao Zhan shouted.

By evening, the setting sun cast its glow.

In Wutan City, the taverns were packed, while the marketplaces were deserted.

In the crowded taverns, everyone was discussing the major event that had occurred today.

No one had expected that the Xiao Clan, facing the combined forces of two other clans, would actually win and even go on to annihilate the other two.

Now, within Wutan City, aside from the City Lord, the greatest power was undoubtedly the Xiao Clan.

At this moment.

The Xiao Clan, the subject of everyone's conversation, had gathered its members together. Looking at the wealth filling the room, everyone was beaming with joy and radiant with excitement.

Having been suppressed for so long, everyone had been harboring resentment. Today, when those people had charged into their home, they had all prepared for a desperate fight, yet they hadn't suffered a scratch, and instead, all those people had died.

At the front of the crowd, the three elders and Xiao Zhan surrounded Xiao Yan.

They wanted to find Xiao Yu, impatient to inquire about information regarding that powerhouse.

Xiao Yan, however, said it was not possible, as his younger brother was currently busy studying cultivation with his teacher and it was inconvenient.

It was not that he wanted to steal the spotlight, but rather that before coming down the mountain today, Xiao Yu had given him strict instructions.

Because Xiao Yu did not want to be pestered by questions, as that would be very annoying.

If it weren't for the fear of alerting the enemy, Xiao Yu would have long since wanted to finish those fellows off.

Fortunately, the endurance of this period had not been in vain; by simply making a move, he had wiped them all out, saving both time and effort.

On the other side, Ya Fei and Gu Ni also learned of the situation at the Xiao Clan.

"Dou Qi transforming into wings... unbelievable, such a powerhouse would actually appear in Wutan City." The shock of receiving the news still lingered on Gu Ni's face.

He was completely unable to comprehend it.

Since the Xiao Clan had such a formidable powerhouse, why were they unwilling to speak of it? If he had known this earlier, he would never have paid any mind to that third-grade alchemist.

Ya Fei took a deep breath and said, "Uncle Gu, the most terrifying thing is that the Xiao Clan has actually been enduring the provocations of the Jia Lie Clan all this time."

Gu Ni nodded in deep agreement.

Even if they had revealed just a tiny bit of information, Jia Lie Bi would never have dared to provoke them like that.

The third-grade alchemist would have even come to their door to apologize immediately.

Yet, the Xiao Clan had shown no reaction at all, enduring, simply enduring.

Most importantly, with so many people in the Xiao Clan, not a single piece of news had leaked out.

Gu Ni suddenly said, "Miss, we must go to the Xiao Clan tomorrow."

"To apologize?" Ya Fei asked.

Gu Ni nodded bitterly and said, "From now on, the Xiao Clan will be the greatest power in Wutan City. Even the City Lord must give them enough face. We at the Mittal Auction House are in the business of trade, so we must also maintain a good relationship with them."

"Alright, I understand." Ya Fei agreed, watching Gu Ni depart.

The room became quiet, and Ya Fei leaned back until she rested against the back of her chair.

"You brat, with such big news, you didn't even leak a whisper to me!" Recalling her interaction with Xiao Yu that day, Ya Fei couldn't help but grit her teeth.

These past few days, Ya Fei had constantly thought of the words Xiao Yu said to her before he left, as well as that smile.

The night passed without incident.

The next day.

Ya Fei and Gu Ni rode in a carriage to the entrance of the Xiao Clan.

Facing the servant's inquiry, Gu Ni wore a smile and took the initiative to introduce his identity, asking the other party to report their arrival.

Before long, the servant returned and invited Gu Ni and Ya Fei inside.

In the main hall, the two saw Xiao Zhan and the three elders.

Ya Fei wore a smile, first offering congratulations, and then apologizing for previously stopping the supply of medicinal herbs to the Xiao Clan.

After the group chatted for a while, Ya Fei suddenly shifted the topic to Xiao Yu.

Upon learning that Xiao Yu was in the backyard, Ya Fei said she wanted to see him to apologize in person.

Xiao Zhan was stunned for a moment, then arranged for a servant to go and ask if Xiao Yu was willing to see her.

Amidst the conversation, the servant returned and invited Ya Fei to follow him.

Ya Fei stood up and followed behind the servant.

Under normal circumstances, if Ya Fei wanted to see someone, given her status as the person in charge of the Mittal Auction House, the other party would certainly have come out to meet her.

But Xiao Yu was no ordinary person.

Furthermore, Ya Fei had come with an apology, and she harbored a little secret in her heart that she could not easily voice in front of others.

Therefore, Ya Fei was quite pleased that Xiao Yu was willing to see her.

After walking for a while, the servant stopped and pointed toward the pavilion ahead.

A youth sat upright inside, where a cool breeze blew, causing the youth's hair to flutter up and down.
