"Little Junior Brother, we're in big trouble this time!"

"Such important information, and the court hasn't sent us any message yet!"

"If I'm not mistaken, the entire Qinzhou has already been taken over. With the news blocked, the court can't reach us here at all!"

"Without the court's help, it's going to be tough for just the two of us to handle the upcoming trouble!"

After parting ways with the others, Murong Xiao took Zhou Hai to a small alley and said with a frown.

"Then how about we go back?"

Zhou Hai shrugged and said with a smile.

"You brat... why do you always think of running away at the first sign of trouble?"

"Junior Brother Du Hai is your senior brother from the same lineage, are you just going to leave him alone?"

"Don't forget, Junior Brother Du Hai is an official in the court and has taken good care of you. He often sends people to the academy with food and drinks for you. Is this how you repay him?"

Murong Xiao was exasperated; this kid never speaks properly!

"Alright, alright, can't I just make a joke?"

"Here's the plan, we'll wait for that Mo Hai Heavenly Venerable to come out. No matter what kind of demon he is, if he dares to wreak havoc under the academy's nose, we'll just take him down!"

Zhou Hai grinned.

He had to admit, Murong Xiao treated him well, but Senior Brother Du Hai treated him even better.

After all, Du Hai shared the same master with him, and Du Hai, being an official, often brought him good things.

Without the ability, it's one thing, but with the ability, how could he leave his senior brother alone?

"Sigh, it sounds simple, but you and I are inevitably outnumbered!"

"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time, we'll head to the Governor's Mansion first!"

Murong Xiao shook his head, not very optimistic.

Soon, the two of them flew to the Governor's Mansion.

Without waiting for the servants to report, Murong Xiao led Zhou Hai quickly into the mansion, with an air of demanding accountability.

"Stop, who are you, and what do you want?"

A group of guards surrounded them, shouting loudly!

"Get lost!"

Murong Xiao's eyes turned sharp, and he shouted angrily, "Where is Lin Shixiong? Get out here and apologize to me!"

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

Clearly, the situation in Qinzhou had truly angered Murong Xiao!

He came with the intent to demand accountability!

Zhou Hai followed behind him, but couldn't help scanning the surroundings.

According to the system's instructions, Qin Xiyao was in the Governor's Mansion, born as a servant of the Lin family in Qinzhou, and had been a slave of the Lin family since birth!

He had planned to deal with the plague first and then find his disciple, but since he was already here, of course, he wanted to see what his little disciple looked like.

At this moment, the system's voice sounded.

"Ding: Reminder to the host, Second Disciple Qin Xiyao is in life-threatening danger, now issuing a Path-Protection Task!"

"Please ensure to save Qin Xiyao, and the system will issue a Path-Protection Gift Pack!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Hai's expression changed.

After checking the system again and confirming Qin Xiyao's location, Zhou Hai soared into the sky, riding a rainbow away from there.

"Junior Brother, where are you going?"

Murong Xiao turned his head and called out quickly.

"I have something to do, I'll be right back!"

Zhou Hai replied.

"Be careful, this place is dangerous, don't be careless!"

Murong Xiao wanted to catch up, but saw a group of people flying over, so he could only shout loudly.

"Oh my, isn't this Master Murong!"

"Why aren't you staying at the academy, what brings you here?"

A group of people flew over from the depths of the mansion, led by none other than Lin Shixiong, the Governor of Qinzhou, who enthusiastically approached with a smile upon seeing Murong Xiao.

"Hmph, back then, the Holy Ancestor of Great Zhou invited our academy to oversee Great Zhou, governing the world with the Zhou Emperor's family!"

"What, now within Great Zhou's territory, does our academy need your permission to go anywhere?"

Murong Xiao's face was gloomy, and he snorted coldly.

"Hahaha, the lands of Great Zhou stretch for millions of miles, Master Murong can go anywhere, there's no need to ask me!"

"But Master Murong, some places are destined to be dangerous, you can't just come and go as you please!"

Lin Shixiong laughed heartily, his words carrying a threat.

"Presumptuous!"

"It seems I guessed right, your Lin family is colluding with others, planning to disrupt the court!"

"Lin Shixiong, aren't you afraid the Zhou Emperor's family will settle accounts with you?"

Murong Xiao shouted angrily.

Beihuang is not just about the four great dynasties; if you really count, even ten thousand countries are few.

But only the four great dynasties are well-known!

Because the founders of these four great dynasties were also sages, the four imperial families themselves have very strong foundations, comparable to a holy land, known as the Holy Dynasty.

Under the holy lands of Beihuang, there are thousands of countries governed, taking whatever they want from the people of these countries, but it's very difficult to extend their reach into the territories of the four great Holy Dynasties, their strength is evident!

As an official of Great Zhou, if you truly betray Great Zhou, the Zhou Emperor's family can settle accounts at any time!

"Hehehe, settle accounts?"

"Master Murong, you probably won't live to see that day!"

Lin Shixiong sneered.

"Courting death!"

Murong Xiao's eyes turned sharp, and he instantly rushed to Lin Shixiong, ready to strike.

At this moment, a streak of black light flashed from the sky, heading straight for Murong Xiao's face.

A strong sense of crisis hit, and Murong Xiao didn't even dare to face this black light, his figure flashed, quickly avoiding the strike.

"Sizzle..."

The black light hit the ground, without any earth-shattering scene, not even a ripple, just a barely audible sound, as a black spike embedded itself straight into the ground.

The black spike reflected black light, faintly tinged with blue.

As soon as it landed, even the soil on the ground turned gray-white, and the vegetation within a radius of thirty meters withered and died instantly.

Moreover, this withering continued to spread outward, the speed terrifyingly fast.

Clearly, the poison of this black spike far exceeded what ordinary people could imagine.

"Ten Thousand Poisons Sect, Wu Wanli, you're not dead yet?"

Seeing this black spike, Murong Xiao's face changed completely.

Seven years ago, the owner of this black spike had appeared.

In that battle, Zhou Hai's master Zhang Er was ambushed, poisoned, and passed away within a few years.

But Murong Xiao clearly remembered that the owner of this black spike had been struck by Zhang Er's palm, logically, he shouldn't have survived.

You must know, Zhang Er back then was a Unity Realm expert, and Wu Wanli was only at the Enlightenment Realm.

"Hahaha, Murong Xiao, after all these years, you're still stuck at the Enlightenment Realm!"

"Looks like you're really useless!"

"Let's go, meet at the old place, let's have a chat!"

In the air, a man in a black cloak walked out, his face obscured, sneering.

Upon hearing this, Murong Xiao's face darkened, clearly knowing where he meant by the old place.

This guy had invited them to a high-class brothel last time, and to this day Zhou Hai still mocked him, and now he's here again!

Unfortunately, the other party didn't give him a chance to speak, retrieved the black spike, and turned into a black light, flying away from here!

"Murong Xiao, don't think about escaping. Without my permission, no one can enter or leave Qinzhou!"

After a pause, Wu Wanli's voice came from the sky.

"What arrogant words. I want to see what tricks you're playing!"

Murong Xiao's eyes were cold, and he immediately flew to catch up!

At this time, Zhou Hai was unaware of the situation here.

Speeding along, he quickly arrived at the outskirts of the city, eight hundred miles away!

"Snap... snap... snap..."

At this moment, a series of explosive sounds came from the grass.

A young girl was continuously swinging a long whip, lashing at a girl curled up on the ground.

The girl was covered in wounds, her flesh and blood mangled, with not a single intact spot.

However, the young girl showed no mercy, completely intent on beating her to death!

"See, I told you she's immortal, can't be beaten to death!"

"Do you believe me now?"

The young girl shouted excitedly as she beat, causing the flying beast in her arms to have its eyes light up.

Nearby, there were several carriages, all pulled by demonic beasts like magic tigers, thunder apes, and three-headed wolves.

These demonic beasts were all at the Foundation Establishment level, and to subdue them to pull carriages, they clearly had extraordinary backgrounds!

At this moment, two men and a woman were sitting on the carriage shafts, also watching this scene with excitement!

"Miss Lin, what's the point of beating her like this?"

"If you have the guts, strike her vital points, if she survives, we'll believe you!"

Suddenly, one of the young men said with a smile.

"Hmph, you don't believe me?"

"Alright, I'll give you something exciting today!"

Miss Lin sneered, threw down the whip, stepped forward, grabbed the girl's hair, and forcibly lifted her up.

The girl's eyes were dull, she didn't even struggle, like a fool.

Only the fear in her eyes proved she still had human emotions, though not much.

"Watch closely, I'm going to kill her now, and chop her into pieces. In less than three hours, she'll be alive again!"

Miss Lin took out a dagger, smiled at the young men, and directly aimed at the girl's eyes, about to brutally kill her on the spot.
