With her spatial ability to raise beast husbands, the wicked female becomes the darling of the group

Chapter 420 Sword Qi
Su Muyao used a faint wisp of supernatural light from her fingertips to probe the formation.

When the supernatural energy is faint enough, like the fluctuation of spiritual energy in the air, the formation will not issue a warning.

Using touch sensing, Su Muyao observed what kind of formation this was.

"This is the Seven Star Rotating Alarm and Kill Formation!"

After sensing the aura emanating from the formation, Su Muyao automatically understood what kind of formation it was.

The key points of this formation are hidden in two locations at the northernmost point.

Su Muyao knew that as long as she entered the mansion through these two weak points, she could avoid the array's detection and prevent it from issuing warnings.

However, both places are heavily guarded.

Fortunately, she had an invisibility charm, so she wasn't worried about that.

Since her strength broke through to level 20 and entered the Spirit Transformation Realm, the power of the runes she draws has also become stronger.

The invisibility charm is more effective.

However, Su Muyao still had to be careful not to make a sound.

She slowed her breathing, making it exceptionally light, and her steps were so light they seemed weightless, while observing the several guards who were stationed there.

She stepped precisely at the boundary of the guards' blind spots.

Su Muyao silently passed through the formation and climbed over into the courtyard.

Su Muyao did indeed sense several small formations within the mansion.

If you accidentally step on it, it can easily trigger the mechanism.

Su Muyao carefully entered step by step.

Even the system couldn't help but complain, "I wonder what secrets the Xiao family is hiding. They've set up such a tight security around the courtyard, as if they're afraid someone will break in."

“None of the Nalan family, the Xuanyuan family, or the Biyue tribe have ever done this before.”

Su Muyao also realized that there must be a secret involved.

She thought about what she had heard during the day.

To protect the elixirs refined by their clan?
After dodging several groups of guards along the way, Su Muyao sensed Xiao Jihan's location by the burning sensation at her collarbone and then arrived at a secluded courtyard in the northwest.

Although the courtyard was remote, it was extremely large, and there was a pavilion inside, surrounded by an extremely complex spirit-locking array.

The closer they got, the hotter the mark on Su Muyao's collarbone became.

Su Muyao sensed a familiar feeling; it was the aura of Xiao Jihan's ice wolf.

"It's Ji Han; he's in this attic."

"But I had a feeling that his breath was very weak, as if he had suffered a serious injury."

Su Muyao silently entered the formation from the center of the array.

Upon entering, Su Muyao smelled a strong stench of blood.

"The blood energy here is surprisingly strong."

Worry flashed in Su Muyao's eyes. Holding her weapon, she slowly walked towards the inner room. No matter how anxious she was, she remained calm and rational. After all, this place was full of dangers, and the slightest carelessness could lead to failure.

Since she dared to come here, she must rescue Xiao Jihan.

As long as he's alive, that's all that matters. If he's alive, she'll find a way.

Upon entering, Su Muyao saw many shelves on the first floor, with various boxes on them, which seemed to contain herbs.

"Xiao Jihan, don't be stubborn and ask for trouble. You'd better cooperate with us, or I'll have your grandmother and your clan wiped out."

"Of course, even if you're determined to die, it's no use. You won't die here."

Su Muyao was standing on the first floor of the attic when she suddenly heard this sound.

She paused, her heartstrings suddenly trembling.

Although she knew Xiao Jihan was among them, Su Muyao's eyes welled up with tears when she heard someone call out those three words.

She had a vague feeling that she hadn't seen Xiao Jihan for a long time.

……

At this time, it is the first floor of the secret underground chamber in the attic.

Xiao Jihan was chained to a pillar, and his fingers were bleeding from both hands.

There's something underneath that catches the blood.

The blood carried a strong, pungent smell, along with a faint, cool fragrance that was very alluring.

Xiao Jihan seemed to be asleep, or numb; he remained motionless.

He remained silent no matter what the person opposite him said.

His behavior only fueled the anger of Xiao Li, the direct descendant of the Xiao family, who was standing opposite him.

“Xiao Jihan, if you obediently agree to give me the Ice Spirit Root, I can guarantee that I will not harm your grandmother or your clansmen.”

"You should know that they are weak. I can kill them with just a little effort."

Xiao Jihan remained silent, as if he were invisible.

Xiao Li angrily picked up the whip beside him and began to attack Xiao Jihan.

"Crack crack crack..." The whip in Xiao Li's hand, with its barbs, pierced Xiao Jihan's body fiercely.

His blood kept flowing down, and he seemed to be in great pain, his body twitching slightly from the pain.

This made Xiao Li's eyes redden, and he became even more excited.

"Xiao Jihan, even if you don't agree to give me the Ice Spirit Root, your blood can still be refined into good pills, which can still be used for my cultivation."

"I am now at level seventeen, and I am one of the best among the young beastmen in the entire Azure Beast Continent. Why don't you submit to me and pledge your loyalty? I will grant you wealth, honor and a holy woman."

"After all this time, are you still grieving for your deceased wife?"

"In this world, females are mostly fickle, and only males remain devoted. What good is it? You're just a lowly female from the mortal beast continent. The holy females of my noble families on the Azure Beast Continent are countless times stronger than your wife..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Jihan finally looked up at Xiao Li and said angrily, "Shut up!"

"None of you have the right to talk about her. She is the best female in the world."

The thought of Su Muyao made Xiao Jihan feel like he was going crazy with heartache.

When he first learned of his wife's accident, all he wanted to do was follow her in death.

Later, he learned that his wife had been murdered and that it was related to the Temple of Light, so he disregarded everything and charged towards the Temple of Light.

At that time, he thought that he would avenge his wife before he died.

He didn't expect that Hua Linye and the others would also be there.

They all used their own secret techniques to forcibly enhance their strength for the battle.

He even used the Ice Spirit Technique, killing countless orcs from the Temple of Light, but using this secret technique would eventually weaken him.

Unexpectedly, there were members of the Xiao family in the Hall of Light. They took advantage of his moment of weakness, subdued him, and took him back to the Xiao family's main clan.

Seeing Xiao Jihan's reaction, Xiao Li laughed and said, "Xiao Jihan, I didn't expect her to be your weakness."

"See, you can't stand it when this is mentioned."

“I once read about a method in my family’s ancient books that allows the souls of dead orcs to be gathered and resurrected.”

In order to obtain the Ice Spirit Root, he constantly tested Xiao Jihan and discovered his weakness, so he naturally had to use that weakness to find a way to deal with him.

Xiao Jiuying from that branch was utterly despicable; he actually used the Blood Pact Secret Technique.

Forcibly stripping Xiao Jihan of his ice spirit root would only cause it to shatter.

Therefore, in order to obtain the Ice Spirit Root, he had no choice but to feign compliance with Xiao Jihan.

The competition within the family is too fierce these days; he can't wait much longer. He's already eager to get his hands on this thing.

With the Ice Spirit Root, one's strength will definitely increase significantly, and one can also cultivate the family's superior secret techniques.

His father was able to maintain his position and become the head of the family because he used half of the Ice Spirit Root back then.

He wants to obtain all the Ice Spirit Roots.

Xiao Jihan asked in a trembling voice, "What did you say? What method?"

At that moment, a ray of light suddenly shone from Xiao Jihan's lifeless eyes.

It was as if the light of hope had been rekindled.

Xiao Li couldn't bear to see Xiao Jihan like this, so he stabbed Xiao Jihan with a knife and looked at his expression, saying, "Will you give me the Ice Spirit Root? If you agree to dig it out and give it to me, I will help you revive your wife."

Xiao Jihan closed his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "As long as you can help me revive her, you can take my Ice Spirit Root and even my life as you please."

He was willing to bow his head even to his enemy.

……

Su Muyao listened to these sounds all the way and rushed to Xiao Jihan's side, but there was a barrier on the first underground floor, and it would take some time to break through it silently.

When she broke through the barrier of the underground chamber, she happened to hear these words.

She felt a sharp pain in her chest, and her breathing changed.

How could he do that?

Su Muyao stared at Xiao Jihan, who was chained to the pillar, her eyes red. Her eyes were stung by the sight, and an uncontrollable bloodthirsty killing intent surged through her.

"who!"

Xiao Li was exceptionally perceptive of killing intent, and he turned around and shouted sharply.

At the same time, Su Muyao reacted with lightning speed. She touched the ground with her toes and flashed toward Xiao Li like lightning.

At the same time, he rapidly catalyzed his supernatural power, and his fingertip power suddenly erupted. With a slight turn of his wrist, a soft "clang" rang out, and the Azure Lotus Sword was drawn.

The Azure Lotus Sword drew an arc in mid-air, its wind carrying a chilling azure light, moving so fast that its trajectory was impossible to discern.

Xiao Li's pupils contracted sharply; he had a strong sense of danger and quickly dodged.

But this person was even faster. He couldn't even see clearly, he could only sense the sword energy, and compared to Su Muyao's speed, his dodging speed was exceptionally slow.

The Azure Lotus Sword spun like a blooming lotus, its blade grazing Xiao Li's neck without drawing any blood, leaving only a thin, hair-like bloodstain.

Xiao Li's eyes widened, a faint sound came from his throat, his eyes were fixed on the ground, as if he could not believe that he was dead.

Or rather, he arrogantly believed that his exceptional talent made him invincible.

He also fantasized about obtaining the Ice Spirit Root and becoming the number one in the family.

Finally, his eyes widened in despair as he collapsed to the ground, his breath fading instantly.
