three days later.

In Yancheng, a northeastern province of the Jiama Empire, Xiao Wujiu and Xue Di arrived at the largest city in the eastern part of the empire.

"What are we doing here? Or is there something here that's worth making a special trip for?" Xue Di looked at the bustling city around her, a little puzzled in her heart.

"There's a malignant tumor here, so I thought I'd take care of it while I'm at it."

Standing in the city, Xiao Wujiu roughly located the positions of the fighting spirits within, and then led Xue Di to the strongest one.

"You're really that kind?"

She clearly didn't believe Xiao Wujiu's words. This was the northeastern province of the Jia Ma Empire. Their original plan was to go from the northwestern province of the Jia Ma Empire through Daling City, then from Zhengui Pass to the Black Corner Region, and then all the way into the Black Corner Region before finally joining Canaan Academy.

So you've made a special trip to Yancheng just to punish evil and promote good? She didn't believe it, after all, it would take them several days to travel back and forth.

"There's also some grudge, so I'm prepared to resolve it once and for all, leaving no room for future trouble, by making a trip to settle it."

"I knew it……"

Before Xue Di could finish speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, along with the noise and commotion of the crowd, as well as objects falling to the ground and pedestrians wailing.

"Make way, make way! Get out of the way, you people!"

"Get out of the way, a good dog doesn't block the way!"

The two turned their heads slightly to look at the source of the commotion behind them.

Not far away, several men and women on horseback were galloping down the street. Pedestrians scrambled to get out of the way, and those who couldn't were thrown aside. Some stalls were smashed to pieces, leaving behind heartbroken stall owners and several injured innocent passersby.

The leader was a young woman dressed in red, with a petite figure and a pretty face.

The surrounding crowd, who were initially angry, dissipated upon seeing this person, appearing rather helpless. Xue Di also keenly noticed words like "Second Miss of the Mo Family" and "domineering."

As the procession charged toward them, accompanied by shouts, Xue Di remained calm. With a light tap of her toes, a layer of frost instantly covered the street, spreading toward the people and horses.

The frost instantly froze, becoming incredibly smooth, causing horses to tumble and fall the moment they stepped on it!

However, the others reacted quickly, jumping off their horses and landing on the ground, glaring angrily at Xiao Wujiu and his companion.

"You bastard, do you know who we are?!"

"Are you looking for death, you little brat?!"

Mo Linglin led a group of people to Xiao Wujiu and his companion, intending to teach them a lesson. However, they were all taken aback when they saw their faces.

"Should we kill him?"

Xue Di didn't even look at the people rushing up, but instead asked Xiao Wujiu beside her.

The latter glanced at Mo Linglin and the others, showing no emotional fluctuation whatsoever. He understood the principle of eliminating the root of the problem, so he had no intention of showing any mercy: "Kill them."

"Wait, you guys..."

Click—!

Before Mo Linglin could finish speaking, the group was instantly turned into ice sculptures, without even finishing their words.

"Let's go."

Without even glancing at the people behind her who were frozen into ice sculptures, Xue Di, with her current strength as an eight-star Dou Huang and as a naturally born ice and snow maiden, possessed ice attributes that were not necessarily inferior to those of a strange fire.

Rather than actually fighting, it would be more accurate to say that Xue Di was practicing, trying to accurately utilize the power of her battle qi.

After Xiao Wujiu and Xue Di walked away, the people around them slowly approached. Some of the bolder ones gently touched the ice sculptures, and then something that made everyone's scalp tingle happened.

As if triggering some mechanism, all the ice sculptures began to shatter, and countless pieces of flesh were swept away by the ice and fell to the ground with a series of crisp, crackling sounds, making everyone around feel as if their hearts were about to leap out of their chests.

The second young lady of the Mo family... is she dead?

This news caused a huge uproar, and countless pedestrians scattered and fled, fearing that the Mo family's wrath would later fall on them.

The person who had been knocked away felt, as he watched Xiao Wujiu and the others leave, that something big was about to happen in Yancheng.

Until the next day...

The news of the Mo family's complete annihilation spread like locusts across the land, and he realized that his intuition was correct. The Mo family had provoked a powerful figure they shouldn't have. The world in Yancheng had changed!

The culprit behind all this had quietly disappeared after doing all this, leaving only a few stories to be passed down.

----------

After some time, having resolved the only trivial matter in the Gama Empire, Xiao Wujiu and Xue Di officially embarked on their journey to Canaan Academy.

After passing through Daling City, crossing Zhengui Pass, and entering the Black Corner Region, we crossed the Black Corner Region Plain and arrived at the first stop in the Black Corner Region—Black Seal City!

Xiao Wujiu led Xue Di through the bustling streets toward the Black Seal Auction House in Black Seal City. He was there to see if the fragment of the Pure Lotus Demon Flame map was still there. He remembered that the Eight Doors had acquired the fragment a long time ago, but had not put it up for auction.

So he figured it was time to "pick up the goods," which is why he came here specifically to get the incomplete map first, since he also had his eye on the Pure Lotus Demon Flame...

The two walked side by side on the way to the auction house, but the passersby around them avoided them like the plague, because the two were dressed in gorgeous clothes, had excellent temperament, and were even more stunning in appearance.

And someone who dares to walk safely in the Black Corner Region with such an flamboyant image cannot be a simple person; this is also the way of survival for these small fry...

Chapter 88 You think you're worthy to play with poison in front of me?

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Black Seal Auction House, Xiao Wujiu led Xue Di straight inside.

Following the flow of people into the auction house, he scanned the room with his soul power and found the person with the strongest aura, namely Yuan Yi, the sect leader of the Eight Doors, a two-star Dou Huang.

"Come on, walk this way."

After quickly determining his direction, he arrived at a heavily guarded corridor.

A guard looked coldly at Xiao Wujiu and his companion, and stretched out his hand to stop them, saying, "Guests, you cannot enter without permission. Please leave immediately."

"I'm looking for your sect leader, get out of the way."

He didn't want to get entangled with the guards any longer, so he led Xue Di and continued walking inside.

"I told you, no one is allowed to enter here!" The guard's eyes narrowed, and he grabbed Xiao Wujiu with a fierce but cowardly expression.

"court death!"

Faced with the provocation of an ant, who even reached out to Wujiu, she saw it as nothing short of courting death!

Her eyes lit up slightly, and a flash of icy blue light disappeared in an instant. The guard in front of her was frozen into an ice sculpture. The cold air entered his body and froze him instantly, making him as dead as could be.

The guard still had a look of shock on his face, clearly not expecting that someone would actually dare to make a move during the Black Seal Auction.

This simple move stunned the remaining guards, who dared not move an inch. They realized they had provoked a formidable opponent.

But at this moment, Yuan Yi's voice rang out: "Please let our two distinguished guests in."

"Yes!" At this moment, another guard stepped forward, but this time he was respectful and full of respect for the two men.

He bowed slightly and gestured to the two of them, saying, "Please follow me, distinguished guests."

Xiao Wujiu nodded slightly, then led Xue Di inside, their figures disappearing from the sight of the onlookers. The guards surrounded them again, taking control of the corridor.

Two guards came specifically to dispose of the body, but the moment they touched it, just like Mo Linglin and the others, it turned into many pieces of flesh and ice.

"This……"

"Hiss~ Such a powerful expert is terrifying!"

"Whose young master is this, coming to play in the Black Corner Region?"

"Who says otherwise? Besides, that powerful woman is a rare beauty, tsk tsk tsk... This kid is quite lucky with women, I'm green with envy."

"Come on, you..."

After witnessing such methods, everyone scattered like birds and beasts. Such anecdotes about powerful figures were merely topics of conversation after dinner. Dead people? Dead people were the most common thing in the Black Corner Region. What was so surprising about that?

After all, chaos and darkness are the defining characteristics of this place.

The two walked and came to a room where a middle-aged man in a black robe sat imposingly.

He was dressed in a black python robe and had a jade belt around his waist. His overall appearance was gloomy and thin, with sunken eyes and three claw scars on his left cheek, making him look particularly fierce.

When he saw Xiao Wujiu, he narrowed his eyes, unable to discern the depth of the person before him. However, when he saw Xue Di, who was half a step behind him, a look of amazement flashed in his eyes, and a deep lustful desire flowed in his eyes.

Although he longed for a peerless ice beauty like Xue Di, Yuan Yi still put on a good show. When the two walked in, he immediately put on a smile and went to greet them.

“I was unaware of your arrival, and my men offended you. I apologize in advance and ask for your forgiveness.”

He laughed heartily, showing no airs of a Dou Huang powerhouse, nor any of the ruthless traits typical of the Black Corner Region. This made Xue Di glance at Xiao Wujiu with a puzzled look, seemingly out of curiosity.

However, the latter did not respond, but instead cupped his hands to Yuan Yi: "I hope you will not take offense at my unannounced visit."

"No, no, please have a seat."

He led the two to sit down and personally poured tea for them.

After the two sat down and took a sip of tea, Yuan Yi's smile widened, and he asked rather warmly, "May I ask what business you two have come here for? Or do you have some treasures to consign?"

"I've come to buy something."

"May I ask what this is?"

"A fragment of a map."

Upon hearing this answer, Yuan Yi's heart stirred. Although he didn't know how the other party had obtained this information, they must know the origin of the incomplete map!

'Now, we absolutely cannot let you go!'

Yuan Yi looked at Xiao Wujiu, who was still calmly drinking his tea, and couldn't help but smile even more, as if he could already see him being subdued, and that ice beauty...

He had just witnessed the opponent's attack; that powerful ice-attribute strike indicated that the opponent was at least a Dou Ling, or even a Dou Wang level expert.

Such a lineup should have no problem protecting themselves in the Black Corner Region, but only if they don't provoke someone stronger, and he is a two-star Dou Huang!

Thinking of this, Yuan Yi felt that this was definitely a big fish. Even if the other party might have some powerful background, this was the Black Corner Region!

"Hehe, I do have some fragments of the map, but I have many. I wonder which one your esteemed guest would like?"

"Why don't you tell me what kind of fragment of the map it is, and I'll go look for it?"

Before taking action, he still planned to extract as much information as possible. As he said, the treasure trove of the map fragment auction house did indeed contain many fragments, but only one fragment whose purpose was unclear and which looked particularly valuable was worth the trip.

So he wanted to take this opportunity to find out the purpose of the incomplete map, to figure out its value, and maybe the person in front of him had a copy of the same incomplete map?

"Sect Leader Yuan, please bring him along. We'll find it ourselves. I'll offer gold coins or rare and precious materials in exchange."

Xiao Wujiu put down his teacup, looked directly at Yuan Yi with a calm expression, and spoke in a tone that resembled an instruction, which displeased Yuan Yi.

"Distinguished guest, do you not trust me, Yuan Yi? If that's the case..."
