Night Raid on the Jialie Clan

Within Jialie Ao's private residence in the Jialie Clan.

With Yao Lao leading the way, no one noticed that Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan had already secretly infiltrated the Jialie Clan.

Xiao Yang did not know where Jialie Ao lived.

However, he simply described Jialie Ao's appearance to Yao Lao and had him use his soul power to locate him.

At that moment, Jialie Ao was kneeling before the three of them, his face full of terror.

Jialie Ao had not intended to rest that night anyway.

After all, he had already sent people to capture Xiao Yang.

Under Jialie Ao's orders, those Jialie Clan guards had originally planned to make their move at night.

So, he had been waiting for them to bring Xiao Yang back.

Yet now, Xiao Yang had come himself.

Though the process had been somewhat roundabout, the result was still correct.

Jialie Ao should have been quite delighted, right?

After all, his wish to have Xiao Yang brought before him had come true.

When he first saw Xiao Yang arrive, Jialie Ao had indeed looked delighted.

But he quickly came to his senses.

Xiao Yang clearly had not been brought here bound!

The next moment, Jialie Ao felt an intense pressure descend upon him.

"Tell me, who told you where my private residence is?"

Although Xiao Yang had long had a guess, he still intended to ask first.

At that moment, Jialie Ao also noticed that the pressure on him had weakened considerably.

His first reaction was to call for help.

After all, unlike Xiao Yang, Jialie Ao did not live in some remote area.

His private residence was located at the center of the Jialie Clan.

The Jialie Clan's patriarch, Jialie Ao's father Jia Liebi, was not far from here either.

"Help!"

"Assassins!"

Jialie Ao shouted himself.

However, Xiao Yang's expression did not change in the slightest. His face remained utterly indifferent.

Xiao Yan, standing nearby, kicked Jialie Ao and said,

"Heh heh heh!"

"Go on, scream. Scream as loud as you can!"

"With Teacher here, even if you scream your throat raw, no one will come."

Watching this unfold, Xiao Yang could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth.

Good grief, Xiao Yan's laugh was truly spot-on!

Had he become a Soul Hall trainee?

It was not just Xiao Yang. Even Yao Lao looked at Xiao Yan rather strangely.

"Why are you both looking at me like that?"

Faced with the strange looks from Xiao Yang and Yao Lao, Xiao Yan was utterly confused.

"That was a good laugh. Don't do it again."

Yao Lao sighed, patting Xiao Yan on the shoulder as he spoke.

Xiao Yang shook his head and said nothing more.

He kicked Jialie Ao, who was still struggling.

"Stop screaming. Tell me, who told you where my private residence is?"

Seeing that the outside world truly could not hear anything happening here, a trace of despair flashed across Jialie Ao's face.

"D-Don't kill me. I can give you all my money!"

"My father is Jia Liebi, the patriarch of the Jialie Clan."

"Y-You can use me to threaten him. You can get quite a lot of money that way."

Jialie Ao said tremblingly.

Xiao Yang looked at Jialie Ao with extreme indifference.

"I don't want money. I only want to know who told you where my private residence is."

"I don't want to ask again."

"As long as you tell me, I guarantee that I won't kill you tonight."

Very soon, Jialie Ao spoke.

Sure enough, just as Xiao Yang had expected, it was Emil!

A smile appeared on Xiao Yang's lips when he heard this.

Good. Very good.

He had been worrying about where to find the Ice Soul Snow Lotus.

If Emil had merely made an outrageous demand and issued threats, Xiao Yang would at most have felt displeased. It would not have gone so far as killing him and taking his possessions.

After all, Emil had not done anything yet.

But now that he had acted, Xiao Yang no longer needed to keep following the rules.

"Where is Emil now?"

"Since you two are working together, you should know where he is, right?"

However, Jialie Ao's answer soon gave Xiao Yang a headache.

"I don't know."

"I don't know where he lives either."

Jialie Ao said in a panic.

His eyes were filled with terror, and his entire body would not stop trembling.

Xiao Yang could tell that he was telling the truth.

But that was precisely why it gave him a headache.

Search for Emil somewhere in an entire city?

He could hardly mobilize the Xiao Clan's connections for a large-scale search.

After Jialie Ao explained, Xiao Yang quickly came to understand the situation.

Among the twelve people who had gone to the Xiao Clan to abduct Xiao Yang earlier, one Battler had been Emil's man.

After capturing him, that man was supposed to return and inform Emil.

But now, that man was dead.

After all, Xiao Yang had not known that the man was Emil's guard.

He had originally assumed they were all Jialie Ao's men.

So, after questioning one guard about their purpose, he had killed them all.

Now, finding Emil's location would be difficult.

Since Emil's guard had not returned, Emil surely knew that his men had failed.

Xiao Yang even felt that this had merely been a simple test by Emil.

It would have been best if they captured Xiao Yang, but even failure could serve as a test.

At that moment, even Yao Lao and Xiao Yan, standing nearby, showed a trace of regret.

Xiao Yang looked at Yao Lao expectantly.

"Teacher, can you spread your soul power across all of Wutan City and look for Emil's traces?"

Yao Lao could not help rolling his eyes at Xiao Yang.

"Look at the state I'm in. Do you think I can do something like that?"

"Covering the entire Jialie Clan and searching it slowly is already not bad."

"Unless I can be revived and return to my peak."

"Then finding someone in a city would not be difficult."

Yao Lao's soul power was indeed not weak, but he had yet to recover.

Covering an entire city was still rather difficult for him.

Not to mention carefully identifying every person's appearance in the city and accurately locating one specific individual.

The difficulty of that was extremely high.

It was countless times harder than simply using soul power to cover an entire city.

The reason Yao Lao had been able to find Jia Liebi was because he had focused his search on the Jialie Clan's central area.

Hearing Yao Lao's words, a trace of regret flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes as well.

He looked at Xiao Yan beside him.

"Your turn. I promised I wouldn't kill him today."

As he spoke, he gestured toward Jialie Ao beside them.

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Jialie Ao was dumbfounded.

"Didn't you promise to let me go?"

"Y-You're going back on your word!"

Jialie Ao's face was filled with panic and terror.

"Exactly. I'm not the one doing it."

Xiao Yang spread his hands, speaking with an innocent expression.

Xiao Yan did not hesitate for long and directly finished Jialie Ao off.

After what had happened during the day, Xiao Yan no longer felt much discomfort.

Seeing Jialie Ao dead, Yao Lao directly led Xiao Yang and Xiao Yan away.

As for the Jialie Clan, Yao Lao did not touch them.

After all, what Jialie Ao had done was not serious enough to warrant slaughtering his entire family.

Of course, that was provided the Jialie Clan did not seek death afterward.
