Meeting Lu Man again
Xiao Yu glanced at Fan Lao, the Blood Sect Master. His pale red eyes made him look like a bloodthirsty demon, but unfortunately, his aura couldn't overwhelm Xiao Yu.
"Hehe, are you talking about Fan Ling, the one who went to Black Seal City for the auction?" Xiao Yu asked with a chuckle. His handsome face, exposed to the sunlight, looked somewhat innocent, but the sharp glint in his eyes meant he wasn't as easy to mess with as he appeared!
Fan Lao narrowed his eyes and roared, "Did you kill him?"
Xiao Yu said with a faint smile, "Your son is too arrogant and doesn't know how to restrain himself at all. It's a pity he ran right into our line of fire. On the way here, I took care of Fan Ling and his gang!"
A terrifying killing intent flashed in Fan Lao's eyes, and he roared, "You actually killed Ling'er! You must die!"
A terrifying surge of Dou Qi erupted from Fan Lao, unleashing the full power of Four Star Dou Huang. Cai Lin took a small step forward, about to make her move, when a streak of green light flashed across the distant horizon, followed by a melodious female voice. "Fan Lao, how dare you attack our Heavenly Snake Mansion!"
The green light shot towards Fan Lao's location, with green vines stretching out in its wake. The soft vines turned as hard as steel and pierced straight towards Fan Lao!
Standing beside Cai Lin, Elder Qing, whose face was pale, was overjoyed when he heard the voice. Xiao Yu was also slightly taken aback when he heard the voice, but then he remembered who it was!
Lu Man, the woman who fought with Xiao Yu outside Yan City, is also an elder of the Heavenly Snake Mansion. Her strength is at the Six-Star Dou Emperor. It seems she has come to escort Elder Qing back to the Heavenly Snake Mansion!
Xiao Yu saw that Lu Man Barbarian had come alone. It seemed that the Eight-Winged Black Snake Emperor hadn't come along. It was best that it hadn't come. Xiao Yu knew that the silly thing had special feelings for Cai Lin. Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Yu's eyes swept over Cai Lin's exquisite and shapely body.
Cai Lin, who had her back to Xiao Yu, seemed to sense Xiao Yu's gaze. She turned her head and glanced at Xiao Yu indifferently. Xiao Yu quickly and awkwardly looked away!
Not far away, Fan Lao's terrifying Dou Qi suddenly erupted in all directions, stirring up half an inch of dust. Lu Man Barbarian fiercely attacked Fan Lao, but unexpectedly, Fan Lao took advantage of the dust storm and dashed away into the distance.
That old bastard actually ran away!
He just ran away!
Xiao Yu was genuinely bewildered by Fan Lao's actions. However, upon reflection, Fan Lao was quite clever. Facing a Dou Zong and a Six-Star Dou Emperor Huang, he had no chance of winning, and escaping was the best option!
And so, Xiao Yu and the others watched as Fan Lao, that old fellow, didn't even leave behind a harsh word before flying straight into the sky and quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
Cai Lin naturally had no intention of chasing after him, and Lu Man had no chance of catching up with Fan Lao, who was determined to escape, so they simply let Fan Lao leave the place.
After Fan Lao left, Lu Man approached Elder Qing and helped him up. Then, looking at Cai Lin standing in front of her, Lu Man bowed slightly and said, "Thank you for saving me. May I ask your name? My Heavenly Snake Mansion will send you a small gift in the future to express our gratitude for your help today!"
Cai Lin, with her proud nature, was naturally unwilling to say more. She simply glanced at Lu Man and then walked to the side. Lu Man looked at Cai Lin somewhat awkwardly, thinking that a Six-Star Dou Emperor like her was talking to someone and she was being ignored. However, Lu Man dared not say anything, after all, she had also felt the oppressive aura emanating from Cai Lin.
Seeing this, Elder Qing hurriedly handed the Cold Jade Box containing the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill to Lu Man. At this moment, Xiao Yu suddenly stepped forward, causing Elder Qing and Lu Man to become nervous.
After all, Elder Qing and Lu Man both knew that the beautiful and alluring woman beside them was with the young man in front of them, and they were afraid that Xiao Yu would try to snatch the Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill!
Xiao Yu noticed their nervousness, but as Lu Man got closer, she realized that Xiao Yu's face seemed somewhat familiar, as if she had seen him somewhere before.
Seeing the thoughtful expression on Lu Man's face, Xiao Yu knew she must have sensed something. So, Xiao Yu flicked his finger, and a wisp of Green Flame suddenly rose up. Elder Qing was immediately startled and exclaimed, "This, this is Heavenly Flames?"
Lu Man, however, stood there as if struck by lightning, her eyes filled with disbelief. Xiao Yu smiled faintly and said, "You recognized me?"
Lu Man quickly recovered and respectfully said, "My lord, you are here too?"
Xiao Yu waved his hand and said, "Don't call me 'sir' anymore, just call me Xiao Yu."
Lu Man hurriedly shook her head, saying that she dared not call Xiao Yu by his name!
Xiao Yu didn't pay any attention to these things, and just looked at Lu Man and asked, "Is Qing Lin doing well with you?"
"Qing Lin is now the Saintess of our Heavenly Snake Mansion. Everything is fine in the Heavenly Snake Mansion, except that we often hear the Saintess say that she misses the young master!" Lu Man Barbarian answered honestly.
Xiao Yu recalled the first time he met Qing Lin. Back then, Qing Lin timidly called him "Young Master." Almost half a year had passed since then. "When I have time, I'll visit your Heavenly Snake Mansion!"
Lu Man nodded and said, "If she knew that you were going to the Heavenly Snake Mansion to see the Saintess, Saintess would probably be so happy that she wouldn't be able to concentrate on her cultivation!"
Xiao Yu chuckled and said, "By the way, what's Qing Lin's strength now...?"
Lu Man said, "The Saintess's cultivation level is now at the Three-Star Dou Ling. The Heavenly Snake Mansion has never mistreated the Saintess, so please rest assured. Moreover, our Mansion Lord also intended to give this Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill to the Saintess Maiden after bidding for it!"
"Oh? Is this Yin Yang Profound Dragon Pill prepared for Qing Lin?" Xiao Yu asked, slightly taken aback.
Lu Man nodded and said, "Yes."
Xiao Yu was quite satisfied with the Heavenly Snake Mansion. After chatting with Lu Man for a while, he said, "Alright, we still have to travel to the Jia Nan Academy. Farewell, and you should all return to the Heavenly Snake Mansion soon!"
Lu Man Barbarian, supporting Elder Qing, bowed slightly to Xiao Yu and Cai Lin, saying, "Thank you both for your help. Lu Man, on behalf of the Heavenly Snake Mansion, awaits your arrival!"
Xiao Yu nodded slightly, and then left with Xiao Yan and Cai Lin.
Watching the three figures depart, Lu Man sighed softly, "This lord is truly surrounded by powerful figures. Last time I saw him, he was accompanied by a Five-Star Dou Emperor, and now he's even accompanied by a Dou Zong. The strength behind him is probably beyond the reach of even the Heavenly Snake Mansion!"
Hearing Lu Man's exclamation, Elder Qing was also somewhat shocked and said, "That's the young master the Saintess Maiden has been talking about all along?"
Lu Man simply nodded, saying nothing more. Watching the number of the Heavenly Snake Mansion experts who had come to Black Seal City dwindle from over thirty to just twelve, Lu Man said fiercely, "The Blood Sect has gone too far! Once the Mansion Lord emerges from seclusion, we must capture Fan Lao directly!"
Immediately, Lu Man led a group of people from the Heavenly Snake Mansion and flew towards the Heavenly Snake Mansion.
Xiao Yu, who had already left, probably never expected that Lu Man would connect him to a powerful force behind him. At this moment, he, Xiao Yan, and Cai Lin were heading north towards Peace Town, which was not far from the Jia Nan Academy!
