Chapter 425 Stance
Seeing this scene, Su Muyao also felt a sense of unease.

"what is this?"

Xiao Jihan explained, "I heard my grandmother say that the Xiao family has a legendary Qingyun Arrow Token that has been passed down for thousands of years. It can only be activated in the face of the extinction of the clan. Once it appears, it will be an emergency mobilization order for the entire Xiao family. It will summon all the people scattered around the Xiao family and launch a relentless pursuit to kill the target."

"I had only heard that my grandmother took my grandfather and the others away from the main branch of the Xiao family, and the Xiao family never activated the Azure Cloud Arrow Token, so no one knows whether such an arrow token actually exists."

"I didn't expect it to start today, and it's real."

Xiao Jihan's face turned even paler as he said these words.

I had only heard about it before, but I never thought it was real.

As those points of light fell, the entire Xiao family estate resounded with the urgent clanging of bronze bells.

As night fell, the once quiet city of Xiaozhou was awakened.

Many households in Xiaozhou City woke up to the sound of the bell, opened their gates, and hung lanterns, illuminating the entire night.

The streets of Xiaozhou City were as bright as day.

In addition, the supernatural experts in Xiaozhou City also took up weapons and went out into the streets. Some even leaped onto the rooftops, ready to kill their targets and earn merit at any time.

At this time, standing with the Xiao family would bring them considerable benefits.

Of course, since they lived in Xiaozhou City and were protected by the Xiao clan, they naturally had to repay the Xiao clan.

Hearing these words and seeing this scene, Su Muyao's expression grew even colder.

She realized things were more complicated than she had thought.

Even the system couldn't help but complain, "Was it really necessary to use the Azure Cloud Arrow Token to hunt down the two of you?"

"Wasn't it said that the attack should only be initiated when there is a risk of annihilation?"

“They killed their guards and a few of their elders, but those elders weren’t all the elders of the Xiao family.”

“That’s so stingy.”

"Could it be because we took so many of their pills and medicinal herbs?"

Anyway, I took all the pills from the attic.

Su Muyao didn't know.

But she felt that perhaps the Xiao family thought she had challenged their authority.

Xiao Jihan frowned deeply, worried that they wouldn't be able to leave Xiaozhou City.

The Xiao family has laid a trap to hunt them down.

This is too much of a show.

Moreover, the entrances and exits of Xiaozhou City are different from those of other cities.

The entrances and exits of Xiaozhou City are also under the control of the Xiao family.

Xiao Jihan said, "Among the pills that my wife obtained from the attic, there are pills that can quickly increase strength. My wife, could you give me one?"

"In that case, I still have the strength to fight."

His wife went to so much trouble to rescue him, so he couldn't say anything discouraging, or suggest that she abandon him or hand him over when she was in danger.

He knew that wasn't the way a wife should act.

If he did that, he would also be betraying his wife.

Therefore, he must fight alongside his wife to have any chance of escaping.

Su Muyao resolutely refused, saying, "No, in your current state, using that kind of pill will only deplete your life force. You absolutely cannot use it."

"You don't need to say anything more. If you still consider me your wife, then listen to me."

"Don't worry, I will take you away from here."

The system said, "Host, if there is any real danger, you can summon Wei Jinmo. I think this summoning ability is really good. No matter how far away or where you are, as long as you call Wei Jinmo, he will come."

Su Muyao said, "I will not summon him unless absolutely necessary."

"The sea creatures seem stable, but various forces are still eager to make moves, and involving the sea creatures in this matter would likely undermine the agreement between the sea creatures and the land."

"Moreover, with him by the child's side, the child is safer."

There were still many concerns when summoning Wei Jinmo.

Besides, Su Muyao is used to handling things herself whenever possible.

And it's not time for that yet. Su Muyao watched as countless orcs emerged from the house, and saw many powerful superhumans begin to work together to investigate any suspicious orcs.

The city was under martial law, which seemed to be gradually weaving into an impenetrable net.

She led Xiao Jihan to a high-rise building, where they observed the situation from above.

The system said, "Host, this can't go on. The longer we delay, the more orcs will gather. We're still some distance from the city gate. If the people arranged by the Xiao family find us, it won't be so easy to leave."

The system also hoped that its host could easily and safely leave the city gate with Xiao Jihan.

Su Muyao said with a focused mind, "I know, I'm just calculating the opening time and location of the city gate."

"The Xiao family used the Star Array to open the city gates, corresponding to different directions, and the places they landed in were different at different times."

"Some places should be nothingness, so going out at that time is useless. At other times, the city gates open and connect to the cities of the Azure Beast Continent."

"The Xiao family cannot change such a massive formation in a short period of time."

She was waiting for the next hour; there was still some time.

Su Muyao calculated the time in her mind, and then used an invisibility talisman on herself and Xiao Jihan.

Inside the Xiao family compound, Xiao Jihan's presence was difficult to conceal.

But here, the place is a mixed bag, making it easier to conceal one's presence.

Timed perfectly, Su Muyao, with Xiao Jihan's movements as light as a ghost, leaped from the city's high-rise buildings and flew towards the city gate with all her might.

Using an invisibility talisman and her keen senses, Su Muyao did her best to avoid all dangers within the city.

Just as they were about to approach the city gate, a clear, ringing bell suddenly rang out. In an instant, the superhumans at the city gate became alert, as if a mechanism had been triggered.

This bell is a magical artifact, a treasure of the Xiao family.

The magical bell is extremely sensitive to specific auras. Inside the Xiao family compound, the bell had already locked onto the auras of Su Muyao and Xiao Jihan, so it sounded an alarm the moment they approached the city gate.

The system said nervously, "Host, this is bad, we've been discovered."

Su Muyao said coldly, "So you've been discovered. It turns out the Xiao family was prepared all along. No matter, we'll fight our way out."

She hasn't used her trump cards or secret techniques yet.

The instant the magical bell rang, the supernatural beings from all over Xiaozhou City instantly surged towards the city gate like a tidal wave, surrounding and attacking.

On the city gates and walls, the Xiao family members were on high alert, with the head of the Xiao family wearing a sinister expression.

Xiao Li's life tablet shattered, and only then did he realize that his son, Xiao Li, had been killed in the attic.

He was the most talented of his many sons, a standout among the younger generation, and the de facto next head of the family.

"No matter what means you use to hide yourselves today, you can't escape. You might as well show yourselves and die."

The sword in the Xiao family head's hand hummed, and he was eager to kill and seek blood revenge.

He activated his physical abilities, and a pure, icy aura surged forth.

At this moment, Xiao Jihan's weak throat tasted blood, and his blood was churning violently.

But he suppressed himself, not allowing himself to make a sound, so as not to distract his wife from worrying about him.

But when he seemed to feel the scorching temperature of the ice spirit root in his body, he looked up at the city gate and the city wall and saw a figure.

His expression changed drastically.

This person used his father's ice spirit root.

His portrait is also found in the Xiao family's secret room.

It was he who, in order to plunder his father's ice spirit root, caused the death of his grandfather and also weakened his father's health, leading to his early demise.

Although he only possessed half of the Ice Spirit Root, it was enough for him to maximize his strength and further cultivate the pure ice-type abilities of the Xiao family.

Xiao Jihan's body trembled uncontrollably.

Even the slightest thing, Su Muyao sensed it. "It's him, isn't it?"

Without needing to say anything, Su Muyao roughly understood what was going on.

"Well, it's him."

Su Muyao smiled. "Perfect timing, today is indeed a good day for revenge."

She took the invisibility talisman, looked at the Xiao family head, and said domineeringly and confidently, "Since you have personally delivered yourself to your death, I will grant your wish."
