Chapter 209 Silencing Provocation
The two sides only exchanged glances and did not communicate at all. When Xiao Lei saw Wei Chenyin and his group, she lowered her head. She really didn't know how to face these people.

Wei Chenyin glanced at Xiao He, a hint of murderous intent flashing in her eyes, but she quickly concealed it and turned to enter the guest courtyard.

Yunxi had been waiting for them in the courtyard. When she saw the four of them come in, she got up and went to greet them.

Wei Chenyin immediately asked:
"Yunxi, how is Ling Kai?"

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. The life force that Uncle lost has been temporarily sealed off, and he is no longer in danger. He needs to rest and recuperate to replenish the lost life force, otherwise he will not be able to condense the Golden Core."

Hearing that her life was not in danger, Wei Chenyin breathed a sigh of relief and then roughly relayed the meaning of True Lord Xiaoyuan.

“We need to stay for a few more days. Don’t leave the city lord’s mansion until the matter is cleared up. I’m afraid that our commotion will alert the evil cultivators hiding in the shadows. I don’t want you to become the enemy’s target.”

Yunxi understood that Wei Chenyin was worried that they had disrupted the evil cultivators' plans and that those people would retaliate against them.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister, I'll stay in the City Lord's Mansion and not go anywhere. Uncle's storage bag hasn't been retrieved yet, and the Xiao family hasn't given us the compensation for his recovery. We can't let them get away with this."

"It's good that you know what's going on. I'll go check on Ling Kai first."

Wei Chenyin told everything she needed to say before going to visit Wei Lingkai, having not had a chance to speak with him before.

After Wei Chenyin left, Cao Yi and the other two became much more relaxed and went to Yunxi's residence at her invitation.

Yunxi specially brewed the Snow Moon Tea bestowed by her master, and only then did the group begin to discuss the matter of rescuing Wei Lingkai.

Zhang Lingrui was the first to speak:
"This time, Ke Yang and I contributed the least, so we're almost embarrassed to drink the spiritual tea brewed by our junior sister."

Although she said she was embarrassed, she drank the spiritual tea very quickly, finishing the cup in no time.

Lin Keyang, standing to the side, couldn't bear to watch any longer and could only cough lightly and say:

"Indeed, neither of us had a chance to make a move this time."

Yunxi smiled and poured Zhang Lingrui a second cup of spiritual tea before speaking:

"How could that be? It's because our two senior brothers are backing us up that my senior sister and I have the confidence to confront the Xiao family. You must know that this is Xiaohe City, not our Haoran Sect's territory."

Cao Yi, sipping his spiritual tea, nodded in agreement:
"Indeed, the two of you are our trump cards."

He then turned to Yunxi and asked:

"Junior Sister Wei, before you left you told Xiao He that his enemy was the Xiao family. Is that considered sowing discord?"

Yunxi readily admitted:

"Yes, but isn't what I said true?"

Lin Keyang nodded and said:

“Junior Sister Wei is right. If the family hadn’t been so inactive, Xiao He wouldn’t have taken such a risk for his father’s injury.”

Zhang Lingrui curled her lips into a sarcastic smile and said:

“I think Junior Sister Wei is right about one thing: if Xiao He really wanted to save his father, why didn’t he contribute his own spiritual root instead of using someone else’s? These are just excuses for him to harm others.”

"Yes, their family is in trouble. Why sacrifice my uncle's path to immortality instead of their own clansmen?"

Lin Keyang simply nodded but did not speak. Everyone has a different stance and makes different decisions. As long as the decision is not made at the expense of others, no one will object.

Yunxi thought they could leave after everything was over, but three days later, things took a turn for the worse. Xiao He was rescued from the city lord's dungeon, Xiao Lei disappeared without a trace, and the Xiao family was wiped out overnight, shocking the entire Xiaohe City. The most furious was True Lord Xiaoyuan; this was a blatant slap in the face. He had promised to give the victims an explanation, but then the culprit was rescued from the city lord's mansion, and the Xiao family was silenced. This was a blatant attempt to cut off all clues to finding the evil cultivator.

Upon hearing this news, Yunxi and the others also looked somewhat grave. It seemed that the evil cultivators had already extended their reach into the City Lord's Mansion. It appeared that they needed to be more vigilant. Fortunately, none of them were novices who had just embarked on their training journeys. Even in their own courtyards, they had set up additional defensive arrays.

Wei Chenyin frowned and said:

“This is a provocation from evil cultivators. I want to take Ling Kai back to the sect first. This place is not safe to stay for long.”

Yun Xi nodded and said:
"If True Monarch Ruoyi has checked and found that your uncle's body is fine, you should take the teleportation array back to the sect."

"That's what I planned too, but I still need to say goodbye to True Lord Xiaoyuan before I leave. I guess he's in a real bind right now."

Having finalized the arrangements for leaving as soon as possible, Yunxi said to Cao Yi and the other two:
"My three senior brothers, I would like to visit the Xiao residence."

"What are you looking at?"

"Look at how their entire family was wiped out."

Yunxi regretted not leaving a few Flying Butterflies to keep an eye on the Xiao residence, otherwise she would have known the truth about the Xiao family's massacre.

None of the three objected. They left Wei Chenyin to protect Wei Lingkai and then left the city lord's mansion together.

When I arrived at the Xiao family residence again, it was eerily quiet, as if no one had ever lived there before. The gates of the Xiao residence were also wide open, indicating that the city lord's mansion had probably searched the place several times.

Yunxi pulled Dian Dian out and transmitted her voice:
"Dian Dian, smell if there's any evil cultivator smell here."

Dian Dian sniffed, and after a moment said:

“Master, there’s no smell of evil cultivators here, but I can smell Xiao He’s scent.”

"Isn't this normal? Xiao He has always lived here."

“Master, those smells are not from when he lived here before.”

Yunxi immediately grasped the key point:
"Dian Dian, do you mean he came to the Xiao family after being rescued from the city lord's mansion?"

"Yes, Master, you destroyed his dantian, and his aura has changed, so Dian Dian could smell it immediately."

"So that means the massacre of the Xiao family is related to Xiao He?"

"It seems there is a connection, but only Xiao He himself knows exactly what he did."

Cao Yi, who was on the other side, had already circled half of the Xiao residence. However, the more he looked, the more his brows furrowed. He discovered that there were traces of an array around the Xiao residence, and the person who set up the array was very clumsy. They hadn't even cleaned up the traces of the array, thus leaving him with clues.

After the four met, they shared their findings and then focused their suspicions on Xiao He as the prime suspect in the massacre of the Xiao family.

"Has he gone mad? Why would he wipe out his own family?"

Lin Keyang whispered.

Zhang Lingrui turned his gaze to Yun Xi. He remembered very clearly that his junior sister pointed out that the culprit behind Xiao Ye's death was the Xiao family. The first thing Xiao He did after escaping was to wipe out the entire Xiao family. This was the first time he realized how powerful the little girl was.

Yunxi gained a new understanding of Xiao He's vengeful nature and noticed Zhang Lingrui's gaze. She looked up at him and said in a calm tone:

“Senior Brother Zhang, you don’t need to look at me like that. Although I instigated him to do this, the most important reason is that his father’s death was caused by the Xiao family. He hates the Xiao family the most, then himself, and lastly me.”

This time, he risked everything to wipe out the Xiao family, firstly to seek revenge, and secondly to demonstrate his loyalty to the evil cultivators!
