From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 482 Crying Masked Man

Panting heavily, Xiao Lieyang covered his right chest with one big hand.

The hideous wound at that location was so severe that one could already see the white bones inside, and blood was gushing out freely.

Of course, he had been fighting with the purple-clothed woman in front of him, who seemed to be shrouded in fog and whose true appearance was never revealed, for nearly an incense stick of time. He had been badly tortured and must have had more than just this one injury.

However, compared with the wound on his right chest, the injuries on other parts of his body were not as fatal.

"Something? What?"

"I am inferior to you in strength. Since I was defeated by you, you can kill me if you want. Why waste your words!"

With his back against the wall, Xiao Lieyang just seemed to have difficulty in standing still.

His entire body was already stained red with blood.

Those eyes filled with resentment were fixed on the woman in purple a few meters away. If he had not been unable to resist, he would have pounced on the woman again at this moment.

"What is it? Of course, it's the thing you got on Blackbone Mountain."

"In the Xiao family, your Third Elder Xiao Lieyang always puts the interests of the family first and is known for his loyalty, kindness and righteousness."

"If I hadn't just accidentally sensed a hidden demonic energy coming from your mansion, I really wouldn't have known that the thing that caused so many forces to shed blood that day actually fell into your hands and was hidden by you."

The woman in purple was naturally Yun Ni. She had a playful look on her face and smiled coldly.

It had only been a dozen days since she left Jiang Yao's residence.

Without the meridian-locking nail that locked up her true energy, her injuries had recovered a lot.

However, while external injuries are easy to treat, internal injuries are somewhat difficult to cure.

That day in the Ghost Forest, she was besieged by several celestial-level Yin creatures. The Yin energy that blasted into her body was like a maggot in her bones, and it was impossible to get rid of it in a short period of time.

After returning to Ziyun Sect and recuperating from her injuries in seclusion, she was betrayed and ambushed. She used forbidden techniques and barely escaped death. Then she met the Xiao family's hunting team and another fierce battle ensued.

She was a powerful celestial being, but she was captured alive by a group of ordinary warriors who were not even at the innate level. One can imagine how weak she was at that time.

After just over ten days of recuperation, her current strength has at most recovered to the innate true qi realm.

Being captured alive by the Xiao family hunting team and sold as a slave was absolutely a huge shame for a strong man like Yun Ni.

If her strength could be restored to its peak, she would definitely break into the Xiao family's residence without saying a word. If she didn't destroy this family and reduce the three major families in Black Rock City to two, the shame on her would never be completely washed away.

However, her injuries had not yet healed, and she could only exert the strength of the Innate True Qi Realm at best. Relying on the various techniques and secrets she had mastered, it was still a bit difficult for her to deal with Xiao Lieyang, who was in the Gangqi Realm. It took her a full stick of incense to make him lose the power to resist.

She didn't have enough strength to force her way into the Xiao family's residence, so it wasn't realistic.

During the past few days when her strength had recovered a little, she had been wandering around the residences of the senior members of the Xiao family who lived outside the Xiao Mansion.

Of course, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, she did not act rashly before finding out the specific whereabouts of those people.

A few years ago on the Black Bone Mountain, she, who always wore a purple veil and never showed her true face, was also one of the participants and had personally felt the pure demonic energy contained in the unknown magic inheritance.

It was for this reason that when she was investigating Xiao Lieyang's mansion and sensed the obscure demonic energy, she rushed in without any hesitation.

The other warriors in the mansion couldn't even see Yun Ni's figure, and fell to the ground and died as soon as they saw her.

It was only when he faced Xiao Lieyang, the third elder of the Xiao family, that he had to put in some effort.

"So, you came here for that thing..." Yun Ni's words made Xiao Lieyang suddenly realize.

That day on the Black Bone Mountain, he was only at the Innate Gangqi Realm, and he was lucky to get that thing.

As long as one is a human being, he or she will definitely have selfish desires, and Xiao Lieyang is the same.

His loyalty, kindness and righteousness were all pretended. If he could pretend for his whole life, he would really be a good man. Unfortunately, after getting that thing, he showed his cards and stopped pretending.

Not only did he keep the matter secret, but several of his colleagues who saw him obtain the thing with their own eyes, including a congenital person from their Xiao family, were all killed by his sudden sneak attack.

However, after obtaining that thing for several years, he still hasn't figured out anything. He hasn't even figured out whether this thing contains any inheritance.

"Knowing the existence of that thing, in order to keep it secret, I'm sure you will not leave me any chance to survive."

"Since we're going to die anyway, do you think I'll honestly give you the things?"

"If you want something, dig three feet deep in my house and take your time to find it!"

"I'm afraid of you. The things haven't been found yet, but the people in our Xiao family got the news and got there first..."

Glancing at Yun Ni with a look full of contempt, Xiao Lieyang looked miserable and started laughing.

However, his laughter stopped abruptly halfway through.

Yun Ni, who was originally several steps away from him, suddenly appeared beside him like a phantom.

Her slender, white jade-like hand moved as fast as lightning and pressed directly on Xiao Lieyang's head. Then, she uttered two cold words: "Search the soul..."

In an instant, Xiao Lieyang's expression changed drastically, and his face looked as pale as death.

He struggled frantically as if risking his life, but he had no strength to fight back. Even if he risked his life, his resistance still seemed so weak and powerless.

In just one or two breaths, Xiao Lieyang stopped resisting. His eyes were dull, saliva was dripping from the corners of his mouth, and he began to giggle foolishly.

A lot of disorganized memories flooded into Yun Ni's mind. She was already injured and had not recovered her strength yet. Her face showed pain. She opened her mouth and spat out two mouthfuls of blood.

Fortunately, she finally found what she was looking for. She exerted her strength and killed Xiao Lieyang easily. Then she withdrew her hand and walked directly out of the attic.

When she reached a rockery in the middle of the mansion garden, she stopped and fiddled with a certain part of the rockery.

Soon, the rockery split in the middle, revealing a dark secret passage hidden underneath.

Yun Ni, who didn't want to waste any more time, stepped into the secret passage without any hesitation and disappeared in an instant.

Xicheng District, Yanliu Street, inside a teahouse.

"Have you heard about it? The night before yesterday, two elders and five deacons of the Xiao family in North City were killed by someone."

"Is this true? The Xiao family is one of the top forces in Black Rock City. Their family residence is like a den of dragons and tigers. Who is so brave as to go to the Xiao residence and kill someone?"

"I remember that nine years ago, a Xiantian Perfection who had an old grudge against the Xiao family brought several Xiantians to the Xiao Mansion. As a result, after a little trouble, all those people were killed."

"He was able to kill three elders and six deacons and finally escape unscathed. What kind of strength must the person have to be able to do this? Is there such a powerful person in our Black Rock City?" "You don't know this. Those elders and deacons don't live in the Xiao Mansion. They all live outside. Presumably, that person was afraid of the strength of the Xiao family and knew to pick on the weak, so he attacked these people."

"A cousin of my eldest uncle's family raises horses in the Xiao Mansion. He said that after this incident, all the direct and collateral branches of the Xiao family who originally lived outside have been scared and moved back to the mansion."

"No wonder, the situation in the North City area is so tense, and there are people stationed at every intersection. I went there to do some work this morning, and the few copper coins I had on me were all taken away by those damned people."

"It's better to lose money than to suffer disaster, Old Chen. You've only been robbed of a few copper coins. That's still good enough for you. Do you still remember that pockmarked Liu who lived near me?"

"Yesterday afternoon, when he was searched by the Xiao family's lackeys in the North City District, he just complained a few words. As a result, he was mistaken for a spy and his head was chopped off on the spot. The two dogs who were with him were so scared that they peed their pants."

"If we can't catch the murderer, the Xiao family will take it out on us. For safety reasons, if it's not an emergency, I advise everyone not to go to the North City District."

……

The business in this teahouse is very good today and it is almost full of customers.

The storyteller, who had been stationed in the teahouse for several months, still told wonderful stories, but not many customers actually listened attentively.

Jiang Yao sat on a chair near the window with his legs crossed, a cup of tea and some snacks in front of him.

I wanted to join the Changhen Gang, but more than half a month has passed, but there has been no news.

I don't know if Hall Master Hong Lie was too badly injured after being punched by me and is still lying there?

Or maybe he was jealous of talented people and worried that I would take his position as hall leader, so he didn't dare to report his affairs to the headquarters?

While he was improving his proficiency in the Black Evil Palm and the Sky-lifting Stick Technique, he also took time to practice the Wild Dragon Fist, which was his fundamental method of cultivation.

It's a pity that on his attribute panel, the progress of his cultivation in the Innate True Qi Realm has remained at 1%, without any increase at all.

Jiang Yao was a little worried that he couldn't improve his martial arts level without practicing some techniques.

The hall master, Hong Lie, was knocked unconscious by his punch. It was not convenient for him to go to the Lieyang branch, and he did not want to make things too awkward with them.

After all, he still had some thoughts about joining the Changhen Gang.

Places like teahouses are places where information is readily available. Jiang Yao came here with the intention of seeing if he could get some useful information.

He didn't know whether it was because too much time had passed, or whether the Liefeng branch had intentionally concealed the news, but he had never heard anyone mention the news that Hong Lie was knocked unconscious by his punch.

"The Xiao family? The Xiao family that has a store in the Human City and is doing a booming human population business?"

"The shop owner Xiao Changshan whom I met before was just a deacon in his family. The elders in their family should at least be innate."

"Two elders and five deacons died overnight. This loss seems a bit big!"

"After Ni'er left, there has been no news from her. Considering her hatred towards the Xiao family, could she have done this?" The voices of everyone's conversation in the teahouse flooded into Jiang Yao's ears.

With his brows slightly frowned, this thought suddenly emerged in his mind.

But in just a moment, he shook his head and denied it: "When I left the mansion without saying goodbye, Ni'er's injuries had not recovered yet. I don't think she can beat Lian Zang with her strength."

"If she wants to recover to her full strength, it will probably take her several months at least!"

"She has only been gone for more than half a month. She should be hiding somewhere to recuperate now. How could she kill the several Xiantians of the Xiao family overnight?"

……

Thinking of this in his mind, Jiang Yao's worries dissipated a lot.

Although Yun Ni's leaving without saying goodbye that day made him a little depressed, but when he thought of the small amount of blood left on the bed sheet when he forced her on that day, he couldn't be angry with Yun Ni at all.

After all, among the dozens of concubines he had relationships with, Yun Ni was the only virgin.

It is normal for Jiang Yao to look at her differently.

Inside the teahouse, everyone was talking about things related to the Xiao family.

Although he bought a lot of slaves from the Xiao family's shop, it was just normal business and he definitely would not have any friendship with the Xiao family.

After feeling that the deaths of those people from the Xiao family had nothing to do with Yun Ni, he, who never liked to meddle in other people's affairs, drank the tea in the cup in one gulp, then stood up and left.

The teahouse was only a few steps away from his residence. He strolled leisurely down the street as if he was taking a leisurely stroll in a garden. In less than a cup of tea, Jiang Yao had already appeared at his door.

"Boss, someone is here to visit."

"That person seemed very strong. I just looked at him and I felt terrified. My calves were shaking non-stop."

"Please lead him into the living room. He has been waiting for you for nearly two quarters of an hour."

As soon as he stepped into the door of his mansion, Meng Daniu, who had been waiting nearby, came to greet him immediately.

Although there was the butler You Wanchun and several warriors including Ding Feng and Ge Qingshan in the Jiang Mansion, they were just purchased slaves.

Jiang Yao was not at home, so You Wanchun naturally reported the matter of someone coming to visit to Meng Daniu, his master's good friend who stayed in the mansion.

"Who is coming? Did he introduce himself?" Jiang Yao paused, frowned slightly and asked.

After purchasing a mansion and settling down in Black Rock City, although he seldom went out and seldom got into trouble, except for the incident in which he knocked out Hong Lie, the leader of the Changhen Gang, with one punch, it seemed that he had offended quite a few forces once the fake jade money incident was exposed.

After all, behind any store that sells warrior resources, there must be a top force.

Jiang Yao spent the 100,000 fake jade coins on buying information at Qifeng Tower, and basically spent the rest in the shops opened by the two sects and three families.

If this incident happens, all the major forces in Black Rock City may come to our door.

Jiang Yao really couldn't guess which force the person who suddenly came to visit his house came from.

"That person had a crying mask on his face, and you couldn't see his true appearance at all."

"He never mentioned his identity, and I didn't dare to ask more."

With his head hung, Meng Daniu looked a little embarrassed and responded.

"And you're wearing a mask? It makes you look quite mysterious."

"In that case, let's go and meet him." After a slight pause, Jiang Yao nodded.

Knowing that he couldn't get anything out of Meng Daniu, he greeted him, then put his hands behind his back and walked towards the living room.
