Jialie Clan.
Inside a rather luxurious bedroom.
Jialie Ao lay stiffly on the bed.
He looked truly miserable at the moment.
The blood on his face had been wiped clean, his chest was wrapped in thick bandages, and most importantly, even his leg had been carefully protected.
Apparently, one of the guards had carelessly broken his leg while fleeing.
"Xiao Yu, you bitch! You actually dared to hit me!" Jialie Ao's eyes were filled with venom.
The words practically squeezed out through his clenched teeth.
The guards and maidservants beside Jialie Bi all kept their heads lowered, not daring to make a sound.
After all, Jialie Ao, in his rage, might very well take it out on them.
"Xiao Yu, just you wait. I'll definitely take you for myself. Then I'll let you know what real pain is. I'll turn you into a whore ridden by thousands and played with by tens of thousands!"
"And that bastard named Xiao Tianci, just you wait. Your talent is poor, and I'll make sure you never get another chance to cultivate!"
Thick killing intent surfaced in Jialie Ao's eyes.
Clearly, Jialie Ao had placed all his anger on Xiao Tianci.
If not for Xiao Tianci today, he would not have ended up in such a miserable state.
At the thought of how Xiao Yu had protected Xiao Tianci without hesitation, the killing intent in Jialie Bi's heart grew even stronger.
Outside the room.
An old man stood there, his face covered in frost.
This old man was the current patriarch of the Jialie Clan, Jialie Bi!
Beside Jialie Bi stood a middle-aged man who radiated a chilling aura from head to toe.
"The men have been sent out, right?" Jialie Bi asked coldly.
The middle-aged man immediately nodded without saying a word.
A flash of cold light passed through Jialie Bi's eyes. "They wounded Jialie Ao like this. They all have to die!"
Meanwhile, at the Xiao Clan.
Inside a room filled with plants and vitality.
The candlelight flickered with the breeze outside the window.
Xiao Tianci sat at his desk before an oil lamp, holding a book and reading with great interest.
After an afternoon and an evening of reading, his Experience Points had returned to one thousand.
He gave up on the idea of saving ten thousand points for a ten-draw pull.
After all, the faint sense of danger in his heart had never faded.
Since he had a way to increase his strength, it was best to use it as soon as possible.
After finishing the page in his hand, Xiao Tianci closed the book and summoned the system interface.
"Draw!"
At last, the indicator stopped in the section marked with a question mark.
Critical Draw: You have obtained one Silver Draw. Use it now?
"Yes!" A flash of delight passed through Xiao Tianci's eyes as he nodded without hesitation.
A Silver Draw was quite good as well.
Soon, a book appeared directly in Xiao Tianci's mind.
"This is... the Divine Sense Cultivation Manual, the Divine Sense Cultivation Manual?" Xiao Tianci's eyes widened abruptly.
This was actually a method of immortal cultivation!
"The system's rewards really are incredibly varied. First there was the Heaven-Opening Sword Intent and the Great River Sword Intent, and now it has directly given me the Divine Sense Cultivation Manual!"
According to the introduction of the Divine Sense Cultivation Manual, once it was mastered, no movement within several kilometers could escape the detection of one's divine sense.
Once cultivated to great mastery, a single thread of divine sense could even kill invisibly!
Without the slightest hesitation, Xiao Tianci sat cross-legged on the bed.
The effects of the Divine Sense Cultivation Manual were so terrifying that its cultivation difficulty was naturally extremely high.
Cultivating it to the peak in one go might be difficult, but merely getting started was a very simple matter for Xiao Tianci.
Before long, Xiao Tianci abruptly opened his eyes.
At the same time, a strange ripple surged from his mind and spread into the distance like waves.
This ripple was naturally the divine sense fluctuation produced by the Divine Sense Cultivation Manual Xiao Tianci had just cultivated.
It spread a full ten li before gradually dissipating.
Any slightest movement within that ten-li radius was laid bare beneath his divine sense!
This divine sense was extremely special. Thus, throughout the entire Xiao Clan, only one person sensed it, while everyone else reacted as usual.
"Xiao Yan." Inside the room, Yao Lao's voice appeared in Lin Dong's mind.
"Huh?" Xiao Yan blinked in confusion.
"Once the matter with Jia Nan Academy is over, we'll immediately go out to gain experience. We cannot waste even a moment." Yao Lao's somewhat shaken voice appeared in Lin Dong's mind.
"Hmm? Why are you suddenly in such a hurry, Teacher?" Xiao Yan asked in confusion.
"Just now, I sensed a terrifying energy flash past and sweep over the entire Xiao Clan. I felt as though I had been discovered."
Xiao Yan froze instantly and said in disbelief, "What kind of person could possibly discover you, Teacher?"
Yao Lao gave a bitter smile and said nothing more.
"Although a ten-li range still isn't very large, it's enough for me for now. I really look forward to seeing what it will be like when this divine sense technique reaches great perfection!"
As he spoke, a playful expression appeared on Xiao Tianci's face.
That was because when his divine sense swept through the area just now, he had discovered something interesting within the Xiao Clan.
A shadowy figure had actually infiltrated the Xiao Clan under the cover of the quiet night.
Moreover, the shadowy figure had a clear target and moved without the slightest delay.
Its destination was precisely the room where Xiao Tianci was!
"Interesting. I never thought that I, Xiao Tianci, would one day be assassinated." There was not the slightest panic on Xiao Tianci's face.
Because the shadowy figure was not particularly strong.
"Since you want to play, I'll play along with you."
Xiao Tianci reopened the book before him, which he had only read halfway through, pretending to be absorbed in reading.
But secretly, his divine sense continued operating without pause.
Whoosh!
Not long afterward.
Faint footsteps stopped outside Xiao Tianci's window.
Clang!
Seeing that Xiao Tianci appeared to be reading intently, the shadow outside the door revealed a contemptuous smile.
Then, without the slightest hesitation, he kicked open the dilapidated window and drew the blade in his hand.
A flash of silver-white light streaked past.
The blade's target was Xiao Tianci's throat!
Seeing Xiao Tianci so close at hand yet still offering no resistance, the figure completely hidden beneath a black robe looked even more disdainful.
Killing this useless member of the Xiao Clan was probably the easiest mission he had ever received.
However, before he could think further, he felt an immensely powerful resistance against the sword he had swung. It could not advance even half an inch!
The black-robed man's pupils abruptly constricted.
Because he noticed that what had blocked his sword was actually a thin, withered branch!
