Xuan Yao welcomed Ye Yunfeng and the others into the main hall of the City Lord's Mansion.
Inside the hall, Feng Xianyun, Cai Xiayue, Bai Yuxi, Evil Emperor, Mad Tooth, and the others were already waiting.
When they saw Ye Yunfeng and the others, they immediately went out to welcome them. Feng Xianyun walked in front, and she was the first to see Ye Yunfeng. She was very happy in her heart, but when she saw that there was no one behind him, and the person she wanted to see was not there, her mood turned cold.
"Yunfeng greets sisters-in-law!" Ye Yunfeng stepped forward and greeted Feng Xianyun, Cai Xiayue, and Bai Yuxi.
Gu Jiaojiao, who was behind him, also greeted the women.
Ye Yunfeng pointed at Gu Jiaojiao and said, "She is sister-in-law Gu Jiaojiao. You should have met her during the Lan Yang City Minor Competition."
Feng Xianyun nodded and didn't say much. She then asked, "Xiao, where is he?"
Cai Xiayue and Bai Yuxi also looked at Ye Yunfeng, waiting for his answer.
"This..." Boss, he … "Ye Yunfeng stuttered, not knowing where to start.
Cai Xiayue couldn't help but shout, "What happened to him? Quickly tell me!"
"Let me say it." Gu Jiaojiao knew that Ye Yunfeng didn't know how to explain himself, so she stood up and explained for him.
Gu Jiaojiao explained everything from how Ling Xiao won the Imperial List Tournament to how he came to the Gu Family and how he helped the Gu Family to go to the Medicine Capital to participate in the Elixir Gathering. Of course, she also explained the conflict between Ling Xiao and Huo Chen and how he was taken away by Xun Zheng.
After listening, everyone became incomparably quiet, and even the strength of their breathing became much lighter.
Feng Xianyun was Ling Xiao's official wife, and her status was the highest. Her eyes flashed with a fierce light as she said, "Are you joking? Could it be that he was harmed by the Medicine Sect?"
Gu Jiaojiao replied, "We are not sure about that, so we came to find you. We hope to find out whether the boss is dead or alive through the Jade Tube of Life!"
"Damned Medicine Sect, I'll flatten them one day!"
Cai Xiayue shouted fiercely. With a wave of the golden brush in her hand, a table and a chair immediately turned into powder. It could be seen how angry she was!
Bai Yuxi also murmured worriedly, "Young Master will definitely be fine!"
Just as Feng Xianyun was about to take out the Jade Tube of Life, Xuan Yao had already said indifferently, "Young Master should be fine, but … His condition might be a little off."
As soon as he said this, everyone's eyes focused on Xuan Yao.
"This is a tribulation that young master is destined to face. If he can survive it, he will soar into the sky. Therefore, there is no need to worry. Young master will definitely return in the near future!" Xuan Yao said firmly.
Ye Yunfeng chimed in, "I also believe what you said!"
"I think we should take out the Jade Tube of Life and have a look!" Bing Ruoshui said to Feng Xian Yun timidly.
She, who had always been indifferent to others, felt quite pressured when facing Feng Xianyun and Cai Xiayue. It was like a concubine seeing the main wife, giving her a very unnatural feeling.
She was afraid that Feng Xianyun and the others wouldn't accept her existence, and Ling Xiao wasn't here. She really didn't know what to do.
"You are?" Feng Xianyun's gaze fell on Bing Ruoshui as she said indifferently.
Needless to say, she had already guessed that these three women were definitely women that her husband had provoked.
Although she was a little jealous in her heart, she wouldn't say anything to hurt or chase them away.
She knew that Ling Xiao was a natural born expert, so there would definitely be a lot of women by his side.
Therefore, she was already mentally prepared. If she couldn't help Ling Xiao in big matters, then she would help him deal with all of his relationships with women one by one.
Ye Yunfeng spoke very quickly and immediately said, "She is sister-in-law Bing Ruoshui!"
Gu Jiaojiao fiercely pinched Ye Yunfeng's waist and glared at him with her beautiful eyes, as if saying, "You talk too much!"
Ye Yunfeng realized that he was being inappropriate, so he laughed dryly and didn't say anything else.
Bing Ruoshui was just about to answer when Yao Qingmin spoke up from the side, "She is Young Master's wife, Bing Ruoshui, and also this young lady's Junior Sister. I am Young Master's most outstanding and beautiful bed-warming maid."
From the looks of it, she was helping Bing Ruoshui keep up appearances. She absolutely couldn't be suppressed by the main wife, or else she wouldn't have a good life in the future.
Bing Ruoshui rolled her eyes at Yao Qingmin and then said to Feng Xianyun, "I am Xiao's Senior Sister from Purple Heaven Sect. Later, I met him in the Central Territory and traveled together with him!"
Bing Ruoshui was puzzled, "If Senior Sister Meng Qi was here, what kind of scene would it be?
Xiao is really too much of a playboy! "
Feng Xianyun nodded lightly and didn't ask any more questions. She took out the Jade Tube of Life that Ling Xiao had left for her from her Space Ring. This Jade Tube of Life contained Ling Xiao's Blood Essence, and once Ling Xiao died, this Jade Tube of Life would also become dim.
Now that this Jade Tube of Life was in front of everyone, their eyes were filled with confusion.
… …
Nearly a year had passed since Ling Xiao was sealed.
Many people in the Central Territory were searching for his whereabouts because the Gu Family's Ancient Killing Orders had been issued and there was a huge bounty on his head. Who wouldn't be envious, but no one had found Ling Xiao's whereabouts.
They only knew that Ling Xiao had last appeared in the Medicine Capital and then disappeared.
Some people said that he had offended Huo Chen of Medicine Sect and was killed by them. Others said that Ling Xiao had gone into hiding to avoid the Gu Family's Ancient Killing Orders. Others said that he had caught the eye of the Pill Guild's supervising Elder and had been accepted as his last disciple …
Many rumors flew everywhere, but eventually, because of his disappearance, no one knew about it.
Inside Medicine Sect, in the depths of a golden mountain range, there was an area several hundred meters wide that was covered in dense and mysterious Spirit Array patterns.
Not far from this Spirit Array pattern, there was a giant tiger that was hundreds of meters wide lying on the ground. It had already lost its previous majestic appearance and had become extremely weak. It was like a tiger that had its teeth pulled out and was no longer a threat.
In a few different corners of this mountain range, there were a few figures that were hard to be seen by ordinary people standing guard at all times. They seemed to be preventing any abnormal movements under the Spirit Array pattern.
No one knew that under this mountain range, within the seal of the Spirit Array pattern, Ling Xiao, who had once been the First Sovereign and a famous figure of the Elixir Association, was currently in an abyss of suffering.
Under the boundless sea of fire, a naked figure was sitting with his legs crossed. Not far from his head were three pearls of different colors that formed a triangle. They seemed to be entangled and chasing each other, but they also seemed to be devouring each other. It was somewhat strange.
Beside this figure was a majestic fire-colored spirit beast. It had a dragon's head, deer's horns, a lion's body, and a ponytail …
Judging from this, it was a Fire Qilin Divine Beast!
In the middle of its head, there was a single horn that emitted rays of deep red flames. These flames were actually shooting towards the golden pearl among the three pearls.
The naked figure slowly opened his lightning-like eyes. He lightly caressed the Fire Qilin beside him and muttered, "Zizi, if it wasn't for you, Boss would have died here. F * ck this damned Golden Serene Flame, and … that hypocritical Martial Uncle. I'm definitely not a short-lived person!"
Who else could this figure that let out an unresigned roar be other than Ling Xiao?
Previously, he had helped Huo Qianzhong and the others to seal the Golden Serene Flame Pearl. Unexpectedly, the Golden Serene Flame Pearl resisted in the end and blocked his opportunity to escape. This caused him to be sealed here together with the Spirit Array.
Even if he was sealed, he had the help of the Blue Demon Fire Pearl and the Innate Yin Wind Pearl. He wouldn't be devoured by the Golden Serene Flame Pearl in a short period of time. As long as Huo Qianzhong opened the seal, he could still escape with his life.
Unfortunately, he had used the two pearls to resist the Golden Serene Flame Pearl for more than a month, but he still didn't find any signs of this space being unsealed.
In the end, he finally recognized the truth. His Uncle-Master Ping Yi would not undo the seal.
He was disappointed, he hated!
What bullsh * t Martial Uncle and Martial Nephew relationship. It turned out that it was just a casual title.
In the end, his Martial Nephew wasn't as important as a pearl!
He hated, he couldn't accept it. He must live on!
In every desperate situation, Ling Xiao never gave up. He always believed that before he died, the stars of fortune would shine on him. Moreover, he still had the Tree of Immortality in his consciousness to protect his life.
At the last moment, he let the prodigal out.
The prodigal was a pure Divine Beast. Moreover, it was of the fire attribute. It might be of some help to the situation here.
Moreover, in this desperate situation, if he died, the prodigal wouldn't be any better. He might as well give it a try.
As expected, the prodigal became Ling Xiao's lucky star that reversed his fate once again.
The tiny horn on his forehead could emit a unique flame. It could actually restrain the Golden Serene Flame together with the Blue Demon Flame and the Connate Cold Wind Pearl. Ling Xiao got some time to catch his breath and recover his mental energy. Then, he used his mental energy to attack the Golden Serene Flame Pearl.
Four different types of energy attacked the Golden Serene Flame Pearl at the same time. Finally, he gradually gained the upper hand.
After almost a year of confrontation, the Golden Serene Flame Pearl had already lost its previous strong aura.
Not only did the Blue Demon Flame Pearl not become dim due to the consumption of too much energy, it had also swallowed a large amount of the Golden Serene Flame Pearl's energy source in the last few days. It became much bigger than before.
The prodigal was also a beneficiary. Making use of the space here and devouring the Gold-Splitting Dark Pearl's source, it directly advanced to the realm of a seventh-level spirit beast. Its single horn also became a little bigger, and its flame energy became even deeper red.
Only the Connate Cold Wind Pearl was almost exhausted. It was originally an item of extreme Yin. In this space of extreme Yang, it couldn't gain anything from fighting against the Golden Serene Flame Pearl. It became even dimmer.
Ling Xiao was still at the same spot. However, his control over his mental energy had become much smoother. He felt that in his current state, it was a piece of cake for him to cast a high-level mental talisman.
"It's time to destroy it!"
Ling Xiao murmured as he stared at the Golden Serene Flame Pearl that had become weaker. Then, he used his consciousness to summon the Connate Cold Wind Pearl back.
At this moment, he didn't need the Connate Cold Wind Pearl's help anymore.
The golden bead seemed to have realized the danger. It shook continuously, looking extremely afraid.
"Devour it for me!" Ling Xiao roared, his psychic power bursting forth at this moment!
