Bloody Slaughter, Following the Trail

This situation arose because they noticed something unusual.

Qing Lin's sudden, silent sneak attack was indeed quite unusual.

If no one goes back to inform the elders, there is a high possibility that a major blunder will occur.

In any case, for the entire besieging team, one more member wouldn't make a difference, and one less member wouldn't make a difference either.

If seven people can take down Qing Lin, then losing one person won't matter.

If seven people can't deal with Qing Lin, then even if he stays, it won't be of any use.

Therefore, without even thinking, the Dou Shi turned and ran away.

The other seven people keeping watch were not shocked at all; on the contrary, they were used to it.

Instead of blaming their fleeing companion, they began to gang up on Qing Lin, creating an opportunity for their companion to escape.

Faced with an attack from seven people, Qing Lin did not hide his strength.

It directly summoned two Tier 4 serpentine magical beasts.

Although her own Dou Qi cultivation was the weakest in the entire battle.

However, with the addition of two Fourth-Order Magical Beasts, their overall combat strength is actually the strongest.

"Kill them!"

Qing Lin did not hesitate and immediately issued a kill order after the Fourth-Order Magical Beast was summoned.

Having gained experience in the Jia Ma Empire, Qing Lin was not the kind of clueless naiveté.

Now that the decision has been made, the best course of action is to nip it in the bud.

As for procrastination leading to unexpected problems, that's just plain stupid.

As someone who has been taught by the time traveler Wang Chen, Qing Lin would naturally not do such a thing.

After all, Wang Chen's consistent teaching was to be kind to others.

But once they become enemies, they must act swiftly and decisively to wipe them out, though the enemy may leave behind a sliver of hope.

However, being members who have always operated in the shadows, their combat prowess is no joke.

With the help of several people, although the situation was fraught with danger, no one has died so far.

The reason this happened was entirely because Qing Lin dragged the team down.

Although she possesses the special talent of the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils, her cultivation time is ultimately too short.

There hasn't been much progress in developing this special talent.

Moreover, his cultivation time was too short, and his own Dou Qi cultivation was only at the One-Star Dou Shi.

Facing a team of at least a Seven-Star Dou Shi and two Da Dou Shi working together, they were naturally a bit overwhelmed.

After all, Qing Lin had very little experience fighting with people.

This suddenly puts them in the hands of a dark figure with extremely rich experience and ruthless methods.

It's only natural that some minor problems might arise.

With two Fourth-Order Magical Beast as henchmen, even though the seven people keeping watch worked together very well.

However, given the difference in raw strength, no matter how well they coordinate, they cannot fight against opponents of a higher level.

If they could really do that, they wouldn't just be thugs in the shadows.

After Qing Lin stabilized its position and began to let the two Fourth-Order Magical Beast fight steadily, the scales of victory tipped rapidly.

Within three minutes, the seven-person team had suffered a fatality.

The situation was already fraught with danger, and now with fewer people, it's even more difficult to hold on.

Three more minutes passed, and the seven people left to cover the retreat were all dealt with by Qing Lin.

"Not bad, you've definitely grown this time."

After Qing Lin finished off his opponent, Xiao Yi Xian smiled and encouraged him.

"Let's go, there are even stronger enemies waiting for us."

After saying that, he beckoned Qing Lin to follow.

Xiao Yi Xian naturally knew about the guy who ran away before.

If Xiao Yi Xian didn't want her opponent to escape, then a mere Dou Shi would have absolutely no chance of successfully running away.

The reason Xiao Yi Xian didn't interfere was simply because she wanted someone to help her find her way.

As an awakened being of the Woeful Poison Body, Xiao Yi Xian has extensive experience in the research of various medicines.

She naturally also possessed those kinds of drugs that could be used to track someone silently.

While that Dou Shi was fleeing, Xiao Yi Xian quietly administered the medicine.

With the help of this medicine, Xiao Yi Xian could easily locate the other party.

"Interesting, it even goes in circles."

Sensing the scent of the drug within himself, he headed north of the city.

Then it suddenly turned and rushed from the east of the city into the south.

Xiao Yi Xian smiled slightly.

That's what you call professionalism.

As someone who operates in the shadows, their counter-surveillance capabilities are also quite outstanding.

For an average person, it might actually have some effect.

But for Xiao Yi Xian, this was simply ridiculous.

With specially left drug traces, even if the other party takes a detour, Xiao Yi Xian can easily find their lair.

Knowing that the other party's destination was the south of the city, Xiao Yi Xian naturally wouldn't go around in circles.

They took Qing Lin directly and headed south of the city.

However, they did not chase after the moving figure directly, but instead planned to approach the south of the city first.

They waited until the enemy reached their lair and stopped moving before launching a surprise attack.

After all, it would be awkward if the other side realized what was going on and didn't return to their base.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had no intention of trying to extract information from the enemy.

After all, they don't possess that skill.

If that happens, it will be a bit troublesome.

As members who learn from Wang Chen, they naturally also learned Wang Chen work style of solving problems simply and without much effort.

They naturally didn't want anything to go wrong.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have spent time gathering intelligence.

The Zhang Clan in the south of the city.

"Elder, something terrible has happened!"

The Dou Shi who finally returned to his family's Headquarters after a long and winding journey went directly to his superior to report the situation.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing his subordinate suddenly return in such a hurry, the Zhang Clan elder frowned.

"We've met our match this time."

The two furnaces we were preparing to use were far more powerful than we had anticipated.

"Just one of the women had two Tier 4 magical beast henchmen."

The subordinate, who had fled back at breakneck speed, quickly relayed the information.

When he was running away earlier, he saw two Fourth-Order Magical Beast rampaging around on the field.

Are you sure it doesn't have a tail?

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, the elder knew that a serious problem had arisen.

Tier 4 magical beast is equivalent to Dou Ling master.

Even though magical beasts are relatively less intelligent, their physical talents are far superior to those of humans.

Within Snake Spirit City, two Fourth-Order Magical Beast comparable to Dou Ling are definitely a formidable fighting force.

Even the Zhang Clan was unwilling to provoke two Fourth-Order Magical Beast whose strength was comparable to that of Dou Ling.

Not to mention, someone who can possess two Fourth-Order Magical Beast henchmen must be of extraordinary status.

Moreover, the fact that one woman has not yet appeared makes it even more terrifying.

Therefore, the first question the Zhang Clan elder asked was not about the outcome, but whether any clues had been left behind.

As long as their personal information remains confidential, even if Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin are extremely terrifying, it won't matter to the Zhang Clan elders.

"There shouldn't be any problem; I didn't notice a tail."

"What do you mean by 'should'? This must be determined!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's reply, the elder immediately roared in anger.

After all, the impact of this matter is simply too great.

The two results are absolutely worlds apart.

There is absolutely no room for uncertainty.

"OK, OK."

Before I returned, I made a special trip to the north of the city twice. Even if there was a tail at first, I definitely shook it off.

Seeing the elder's angry expression, the subordinate quickly made his assurances.

Hearing this, the elder's mood improved slightly.

After all, he was very familiar with the abilities of his subordinates.

Since they can guarantee it, it undoubtedly means they are quite confident.

"In that case, you should stay hidden for now and not show your face."

"Elder, I understand."

Bang!

"You..."

Something suddenly happened inside the room.

The elder of the Zhang Clan suddenly made a move, launching a surprise attack on his subordinate.

A mere Dou Shi cannot withstand the attack of a Da Dou Shi.

Not to mention it was a sneak attack.

"Don't blame me, the best way to ensure the information isn't leaked is to never speak out."

Don't worry, I'll take care of everything after I die. I won't let you die in vain.

After saying that, the Zhang Clan elder immediately killed his subordinate.

"Sigh~~"

After it was done, the Zhang Clan elder sighed.

A person like him should have been heartless long ago.

But humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?

This subordinate has been with him for so many years and has helped him with so many things.

Who wouldn't like a subordinate who is both capable and loyal?

But the situation was urgent, and he had to take action to erase all traces.

If someone with at least two Fourth-Order Magical Beast as henchmen were to become an enemy of the Zhang Clan, it would undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Zhang Clan.

Compared to family, loyal subordinates are not necessarily irreplaceable.

At most, they'll just give some extra compensation.

"You see? This is human nature."

"Who?!"

Just as the Zhang Clan elders were preparing to dispose of their subordinate's body, a voice suddenly rang out from not far away.

This sudden change startled the elder.

He was fully alert and wary of the two cloaked figures ahead.

"Indeed, people like him are far too few."

Xiao Yi Xian muttered something to herself, staring at the elder who was on guard ahead.

Indeed, the two people who suddenly appeared were none other than Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin.

After pinpointing the enemy's final hideout, the two relied on a special treasure crafted by Wang Chen to quietly follow the aura and infiltrate the area.

The Zhang Clan in the south of the city is one of the three major families in Snake Spirit City, and their Headquarters is naturally quite large.

Those who handle external intelligence and carry out various shady operations are naturally Headquarters in relatively peripheral locations.

Following the lead and sneaking in, the difficulty level wasn't too high.

Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin had already arrived before the Zhang Clan elder attacked his subordinate.

Naturally, they also witnessed what happened earlier.

This incident had a significant impact on Qing Lin.

People who trust each other completely would suddenly launch a sneak attack.

However, Xiao Yi Xian could understand.

After all, she had witnessed similar things when she was working for Ten Thousand Medicine House.

If I were to encounter something like this again, I wouldn't be too shocked or surprised.

"Who are you two, and what brings you here?"

After making a slight adjustment, the elder of the Zhang Clan also spoke up to inquire.

As someone who specializes in intelligence work, being able to lie through one's teeth is an essential skill.

Although they had been approached, the elder of the Zhang Clan did not take any immediate action.

Instead, they wanted to shirk responsibility and cover up the matter.

Unfortunately, Xiao Yi Xian is no longer a novice.

There was no point in wasting words on such a shameless act.

After all, she knew very well that she was no match for that old fox in this regard.

Use your weaknesses to attack the enemy's strengths.

That would be the act of a fool.

The smart thing to do is to do the opposite.

Therefore, without wasting any words, Xiao Yi Xian gave Qing Lin a wink, indicating that it was time to make a move.

Since the hidden forces behind the scenes have already been found, this elder of the Zhang Clan is of little use.

After that, all we need to do is deal with the Zhang Clan.

With a clear goal, gaining experience becomes much simpler.

"Bang!"

Upon receiving the prompt, Qing Lin naturally did not hesitate and immediately summoned two Fourth-Order Magical Beast beasts as henchmen.

A massive Fourth-Order Magical Beast appeared and launched an attack.

Faced with this sudden attack, the Zhang Clan elder had no intention of resisting.

After all, they had already obtained intelligence from their subordinates.

Knowing he's no match for them, he wouldn't stubbornly persist in fighting to the death.

The Zhang Clan elders, who were prepared, turned and ran away the moment Qing Lin made his move.

He didn't waste time calling on others to help.

The others had already noticed the change when the Fourth-Order Magical Beast appeared.

The surrounding men also rushed over quickly.

This sudden situation also caught Qing Lin off guard.

The other enemies we faced all chose to attack in a siege.

Now they're running away so decisively.

This unusual situation truly surprised Qing Lin.

However, having gone through some trials, Qing Lin quickly regained her senses.

He immediately ordered one of the Fourth-Order Magical Beast to give chase, while the other remained by his side to protect him.

Although the Triple Jade-Green Snake Flower Pupils is extremely powerful, Qing Lin himself is indeed a weakness in the present moment.

She must ensure her own safety.

Although Xiao Yi Xian is by her side, this training is aimed at maximizing her growth.

Naturally, it involves simulating what to do when you're alone.

That's why she made that choice.

The berserk Fourth-Order Magical Beast also began to wreak havoc.

After their initial investigation, Xiao Yi Xian and Qing Lin understood that the Zhang Clan was no good.

Now that they've provoked me again, there's no way I'm going to show them any mercy.

"Bang!"

"Smack!"

Those who surrounded them were instantly killed by the tail of the Fourth-Order Magical Beast.

This intelligence processing center was also reduced to ruins by Fourth-Order Magical Beast.

This sudden change alerted the Zhang Clan's Law Enforcement Patrol Team, who rushed over immediately.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry!"

Seeing the Law Enforcement Patrol Team rushing over, the Zhang Clan elder immediately shouted.
