"Damn, if you dare play any more tricks, do you believe I won't immediately crush her to death?" Ling Xiao angrily glared at the young woman and cursed.
He really didn't expect the other party to be so vicious and even hide needles in her sleeves. If he hadn't been a bit more quick-witted, he might have already gone to see Yama.
"Don't … don't mess around. I'll let you go, but quickly release my mother!" The young woman waved her hands repeatedly. She looked like she was about to go crazy.
"Hmph, get out of the way! Hurry and bring us to the transmission formation!" Ling Xiao roared at the Feng family members in front of them.
"Release my mother first! That … that golden needle is poisoned!" the young woman begged.
Ling Xiao didn't have the time to care about this. Once the hostage was released, then they would be surrounded and killed. Moreover, that golden needle was shot by the young woman herself. Even if she died, it had nothing to do with him.
"There's no room for negotiation. All of you, scram!" Ling Xiao roared with a gloomy expression.
The Feng family members moved far away this time, allowing Ling Xiao's group to leave.
But the young woman and man kept closely chasing after Ling Xiao, constantly begging Ling Xiao to release their mother.
However, just as Ling Xiao's group left the inn and prepared to fly away, several sounds of rushing wind rang out from the distance.
"Young Master, hurry up and leave! Someone else is coming!" Savage Leopard warned from the side.
"Damn, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!" Ling Xiao also wanted to leave, but looking at the other party's speed, there was no way they could run. Their only chance was to see if the horse-faced woman in his hands was strong enough to allow them to leave smoothly.
Four figures landed in front of the inn. Two were old men and two were middle-aged men.
These four people were all at least at the Empyrean realm. Their terrifying aura caused the surroundings to tremble.
The people outside the inn had long since distanced themselves. How could they dare to watch the Feng family do their business? Wasn't that purely courting death?
"Brat, hurry up and let him go. Otherwise, I will kill you!" A low-level Heavenly Venerate stared at Ling Xiao and shouted. His eyes were filled with strong killing intent.
This person was called Feng Hongzhan, an elder of the Feng Clan. He was the ninth child and the husband of the horse-faced woman. Although he looked like he was in his forties or fifties, he was actually several hundred years old.
Compared to the experts of the Central Region, those who were a few hundred years old were considered middle-aged, and those who were under a hundred years old were still considered young, provided that they could maintain their appearance and not age and become ugly.
"I'm not the only one who said that. I'm still alive and well. Stop talking nonsense. Take us to the nearest transmission array immediately. Otherwise, we'll have to collect her corpse!" Ling Xiao said coldly.
If this continued, they wouldn't be able to escape. Ling Xiao had to leave this place as soon as possible.
"You … good … you are very good!" Feng Hongzhan glared at Ling Xiao and shouted.
"Father, mother has been poisoned. If we don't save her, I'm afraid …" At that moment, Feng Hongzhan's daughter, Feng Fanni, said anxiously.
"What!"
Feng Hongzhan responded and then looked at his wife, Ma Rong, who was in Ling Xiao's embrace. He discovered that her aura was extremely weak and her face was pale. It seemed that the poison had already begun to spread.
"Brat, quickly let her go!" Feng Hongzhan shouted with a commanding tone.
Ling Xiao was determined to ignore Feng Hongzhan. However, he took the opportunity to look at Ma Rong and discovered that she was indeed poisoned.
At this moment, he calmed down.
If Ma Rong died, then he would have to face the endless pursuit of the Feng Clan.
There would no longer be a place for him on this continent.
Thinking of this, Ling Xiao shivered and then shouted at Feng Fanni: "Throw the antidote pill over, I'll have her eat it!"
The hostage couldn't be released, so the only way was to have Ma Rong consume the antidote first so that she could preserve her life.
Feng Fanni glanced at her father. After her father nodded, he tossed a pill to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao immediately stuffed the antidote pill into Ma Rong's mouth and then gently patted the back of her neck to have her swallow the pill.
"She'll be fine, you must let us go now!" Ling Xiao loudly shouted.
"Don't rush, can someone tell me what's going on?" An old man with long eyebrows quietly asked.
Ling Xiao's gaze fell on this old man. He found that this old man's essence energy was restrained. He looked no different from the old man next door. He must have reached the supreme realm of returning to one's true self.
This old man with long eyebrows was the previous elder of the Feng Clan, Feng Xiang. He had a very high status in the Feng Clan.
Ling Xiao didn't understand why Ji Beixin was able to attract so many experts from the Feng Clan.
Could it be that there was some secret behind this?
At this time, a middle-aged man next to Feng Xiang asked: "Elder Xiang, do you see what's hanging on that little girl's neck?"
Feng Xiang followed the middle-aged man's finger and his gaze landed on Ji Beixin's body. Finally, it stopped in front of her white neck.
"Clan … clan pendant!" Feng Xiang's pupils dilated, and his body couldn't help but tremble.
At this time, another old man next to Feng Xiang also revealed an expression of disbelief.
Ji Beixin was embarrassed to be stared at by everyone, so she hid behind Feng Xianyun and Cai Xiayue.
"Are you guys done? Hurry up and take us to the transmission formation!" Ling Xiao frowned and shouted.
Feng Xiang's burning gaze retracted and then landed on Ling Xiao: "Let them go, I guarantee that nothing will happen to you."
"Does your guarantee work?" Ling Xiao stared at the old man and asked.
"How dare you! If Elder Xiang says that you're fine, then you won't die!" Feng Hongzhan roared at Ling Xiao.
He was extremely angry at Ling Xiao and the others. He had already decided to kill them, but since Elder Xiang had spoken, he couldn't do it.
"My words still have some prestige here," Feng Xiang said indifferently.
Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked at Feng Xiang. He hesitated for a moment before letting go of Ma Rong in his arms.
Who knew that just as he let go of Ma Rong, she would turn around and kick at Ling Xiao's pants, "Go to hell!"
This kick was fast and fierce, and it would be hard for an ordinary person to dodge it.
Ling Xiao's body didn't move, but he quickly counterattacked with his feet.
Bang!
The two feet collided, and Ma Rong naturally wasn't Ling Xiao's opponent. She staggered and fell backwards.
Feng Hongzhan lightly waved a formless aura to support Ma Rong.
After Ma Rong stabilized herself, a longsword appeared in her hand, and she prepared to attack Ling Xiao again.
"Stop right there! Did you ignore Elder Xiang's words?" Feng Hongzhan shouted at Ma Rong.
Ma Rong unwillingly withdrew her longsword, and then she cried to Feng Xiang, "Elder Xiang, you … you have to help me. These lowly people didn't even put the Feng Clan in their eyes. Not only did they injure our people, they even dared to capture me. Where is our Feng Clan's face …"
"Enough, move to the side!" Feng Xiang shouted in displeasure.
Everyone in the Feng Clan knew Ma Rong's personality. This matter was definitely because Ma Rong didn't put them in her eyes and offended them thoroughly, which was why they were forced to do this.
However, he didn't have time to be entangled with her. He still had important matters to settle.
"I've let her go. Can you let us leave now?" Ling Xiao asked.
He was already prepared. As long as the Feng Clan wasn't willing, he would immediately summon the Blue Flood Dragon and Earth Flame Tiger and prepare to wreak havoc in the Feng Capital.
"No rush, I have some things to discuss with that young lady!" Feng Xiang waved his hand and said.
"Can you tell me the reason?
I'm her man! "Ling Xiao said faintly. He really didn't understand why the people from the Feng Clan were so interested in Ji Beixin.
Feng Xiang looked at Ling Xiao again, then said, "She has my clan's keepsake on her, I think she might be a member of our Feng Clan."
Ling Xiao suddenly understood that it was the problem with the jade pendant on Ji Beixin's body.
"You can rest assured that regardless of whether she is a member of our Feng Clan or not, we will definitely not harm her. I, Feng Xiang, can guarantee this!" Feng Xiang said again.
Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then waved his hand at Ji Beixin and said, "Xin Er, come here for a moment!"
Ji Beixin walked in front of Ling Xiao with a bit of stage fright.
Feng Xiang and the old man beside him stared at the jade pendant on Ji Beixin's neck, their eyes flashing with excitement.
"Really … It really is the clan pendant!" The two exclaimed in unison.
"Seniors, this … What's going on?" Ling Xiao asked.
The two elders ignored Ling Xiao, but Feng Xiang kindly looked at Ji Beixin and asked, "Little girl, where did you get the jade pendant on your neck?"
Ji Beixin glanced at Ling Xiao, and after receiving Ling Xiao's encouragement, she weakly said, "I don't know either. It's been hanging around my neck since I was young. My grandfather said that it was a keepsake that my parents left for me."
Feng Xiang continued to ask, "Then who are your parents?"
"My father's name is Ji Xiaozhen. I don't know who my mother is." Ji Beixin replied with a sad expression.
Ji Beixin had never seen her parents since she was young, and had only heard her grandfather mention her father's name.
Feng Xiang and the old man beside him looked at each other with complicated expressions, but there was also a hint of joy in their eyes.
"Child, you … Do you want to know who your mother is?" Feng Xiang asked temptingly.
Ji Beixin hurriedly nodded her head and said, "Of course I want to!"
Since she was young, she had always wanted to know where her parents were and whether they were dead or not. Of course she wanted to know her mother's name.
"Then come with us. As long as we can confirm your identity, we will tell you who your mother is." Feng Xiang continued.
Ji Beixin looked at Ling Xiao with a troubled expression.
Ling Xiao said, "Senior, are you lying to her?
She has never known who her parents are since she was young. How do you know who her mother is? "
Feng Xiang said, "She has our clan's keepsake on her. From this point, we have already guessed it, but we have to verify her identity. I will still say the same thing, regardless of whether she is a member of our Feng Clan or not, I will definitely not harm her."
Hearing Feng Xiang's words, Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, then looked at Ji Beixin and said, "Xin 'er, this might be your only chance to know your mother. You decide."
Ling Xiao felt that this old man shouldn't be lying to him.
This was because their expressions did not change at all. Moreover, with the other party's strength, it would not be a problem for him to force them to stay.
However, this wasn't his problem, but Ji Beixin's. It was better to let her make her own decision, so as to avoid any regrets in the future.
