This time, it was not just the one dead soldier he had killed who had secretly infiltrated the Xiao Clan.
Several others had split up and acted separately.
Perhaps, in everyone's eyes, Xiao Tianci was nothing more than trash.
Thus, among these dead soldiers, only one had been sent to kill Xiao Tianci.
And this man was the weakest among them, a Four-Star Dou Shi.
Yet while Xiao Tianci was searching his soul, the other dead soldiers had already reached Xiao Yu's room.
Their next step was to rush into Xiao Yu's room.
Xiao Tianci did not dare delay in the slightest. He pushed his speed to its limit and raced toward Xiao Yu's room!
Inside Xiao Yu's room, the candlelight was bright.
She was the Grand Elder's daughter, and her talent was also quite outstanding among the Xiao Clan's younger generation.
Therefore, Xiao Yu's room was naturally far more luxurious than Xiao Tianci's.
The decorations and furnishings within exuded an air of wealth and splendor.
Even the natural Dou Qi gathered in her room seemed much denser than that in Xiao Tianci's room.
At this moment, Xiao Yu sat quietly at the table, engrossed in the copy of Domineering Dou Emperor Falls in Love with Me that she had taken from Xiao Tianci's room beneath the bright candlelight.
The expression on her face shifted along with the plot of the book. Clearly, she had become completely immersed in its contents, utterly unaware that several black shadows dressed in night attire had quietly lurked outside her room.
Whoosh.
Perhaps a gust of wind had passed by, for the candle flame before her suddenly went out.
In an instant, the entire room was plunged into darkness.
"Who's there?!"
Xiao Yu swiftly rose to her feet and drew the sword at her waist!
The instant the candlelight went out, she heard several faint breaths entering her room.
However, her eyes could not immediately adjust to the darkness, and her vision was severely obstructed.
At once, she felt a vicious punch strike her stomach.
Xiao Yu let out a muffled groan as her body slammed directly into the wall behind her.
Only then, by the bright moonlight, could Xiao Yu vaguely make out three figures wrapped tightly from head to toe standing in her room.
Xiao Yu took a deep breath and struggled to suppress the pain in her stomach. Then, gripping her sword, she actually charged proactively toward the black-clad man closest to her.
Her longsword rose high, about to slash down.
Yet Xiao Yu's expression changed drastically.
Her full-force strike had been blocked with effortless ease!
"Miss Xiao Yu, I advise you to stop resisting. This time, we dispatched no fewer than five Dou Shi just to take you back!"
The man in black slightly parted his lips, and a hoarse voice came from beneath his mask.
That voice made Xiao Yu's heart sink.
She was only a Three-Star Dou Zhe. Even one Dou Shi would spell certain doom for her, let alone five of them!
Xiao Yu took a deep breath, her eyes shifting slightly.
She was in the center of the Xiao Clan. If she could make enough noise to attract someone's attention, this crisis could be resolved!
However, as though he had long seen through Xiao Yu's thoughts, the man beneath the black robe grinned viciously and spoke.
"If Miss Xiao Yu is still clinging to hope, feel free to scream and see whether anyone can hear you."
A trace of despair rose in Xiao Yu's heart.
"Who are you? What exactly are you here for?!"
"Miss Xiao Yu, you truly are forgetful. You fought with our young master just this afternoon, yet you've already forgotten?"
Seeing that the situation was firmly under control, the black-robed figure was in no hurry to act. No one would notice this place anytime soon anyway.
He had plenty of time to quietly admire the despair on Xiao Yu's face.
"You're from the Jialie Clan!" Xiao Yu was now completely certain.
Still, she was somewhat shocked. Jialie Ao was truly so deranged. She had merely taught him a lesson, yet he actually dared to send people to infiltrate the Xiao Clan!
"Miss Xiao Yu, I've answered your questions. Now tell me, will you come with us willingly, or shall we knock you out and take you away?"
The hoarse voice entered Xiao Yu's ears once more.
The despair in Xiao Yu's eyes deepened.
She knew exactly what fate awaited her if she was taken to the Jialie Clan.
After all, Jialie Ao's vile reputation was well known. Every woman who fell into his hands met a miserable end; some were even left barely recognizable as human.
At the thought of this, Xiao Yu's hands and feet turned cold.
"Miss Xiao Yu, don't resist." After saying this, the three black-clad men closed in and slowly walked toward Xiao Yu.
Although Xiao Yu's bedroom was not small, the three men soon forced her into a corner.
At this moment, outside the door.
"As expected of the Xiao Clan's genius. Looking at her like this, she truly is far too captivating. Young Master Jialie Ao's taste is as good as ever."
The two dead soldiers keeping watch outside peered through the window at the scene within and could not help speaking in low voices.
Xiao Yu's long legs in particular sent their thoughts wandering.
"Indeed, Young Master Jialie Ao has always had good taste. I just wonder whether, after Young Master Jialie Ao gets tired of playing with her, I'll get a taste too."
By the end, the dead soldier's words were filled with obscene lust.
Then, the two exchanged glances and smiled at each other.
Crack.
Just as the two focused on the situation inside the room, an extremely soft sound of a branch snapping came from behind them.
Their expressions changed at once, and they swiftly turned around.
"Who's there?!" the two asked in unison, keeping their voices low as they drew their longswords with a sharp ring.
The sharp blades reflected the cold moonlight, a trace of killing intent congealing upon them.
Not far in front of the two dead soldiers, a rather young figure stood there.
"Courting death!" Seeing that there was only one person, the two dead soldiers immediately sneered.
Their tense bodies relaxed slightly.
He was merely a junior of the Xiao Clan. They could kill him as they pleased!
Then, after exchanging a glance, the two shot forward at once.
Their movements were as synchronized as though they had practiced them thousands of times beforehand!
Two gleaming longswords sped toward Xiao Tianci.
The aura of Five-Star Dou Shi erupted without restraint within this small area.
Under the cold moonlight, Xiao Tianci's lips curled into a mocking smile.
The ordinary-looking dead branch in his hand swept through the air.
His figure then crossed paths with the two dead soldiers.
