145: Destroyed the body and was blackmailed

Chapter 145: Destroying the Evidence, Being Blackmailed

Soul Cang moved incredibly fast, giving Xiao Yan no time to react.

When he came to his senses, Xiao Yan was about to say something, but realized his elder brother had already left.

At this moment, Zi Yan punched him and said, "What are you still standing there for? If the Elders come and see this, you won't be able to explain it."

That's right! She has a point!

Xiao Yan immediately unleashed his strange flame, and terrifying firelight covered the area.

In a few breaths, Ling Quan and his subordinates were all reduced to ashes.

Zi Yan walked over and picked out the storage rings, weapons, and other remnants.

After handing them to Xiao Yan, Zi Yan held up one finger: "A thousand pills."

Xiao Yan was stunned: "Why?"

She just reminded him, so why is she blackmailing him now?

Her change of face was too quick.

Zi Yan put her hands on her hips and looked up at him: "It's the price for me keeping your secret."

"..." Xiao Yan fell silent.

Just as he was lost in thought, a whooshing sound came from behind him, and several figures flew through the air.

Leading them was Elder Su.

He first scanned the surroundings; the ground was uneven, the air still carried residual violent energy, and trees and grass showed signs of being scorched by fire.

Elder Su asked, "What happened?"

Not long ago, he sensed a powerful energy fluctuation near the academy and immediately gathered the Elders to investigate.

Xiao Yan calmly said, "Elder, residual forces from the Black Alliance heard that I had left and came to ambush me, but they were too weak, so I dealt with them all."

"Is that so?" Hearing this, Elder Su believed him by five parts. He was aware that Xiao Yan had led the charge in taking down the Black Alliance.

Xiao Yan turned his back to the Elders and winked at Zi Yan, signaling her to cooperate with him.

Zi Yan crossed her arms and wiggled one finger twice.

Ah ah!

Xiao Yan wailed inwardly, a helpless look in his eyes, and nodded slightly, indicating his agreement.

Seeing this, Zi Yan's eyes curved, and she said to Elder Su, "I can vouch for him."

Elder Su no longer had doubts and instructed an Elder beside him, "See which Elders are free recently to take a stroll in the Black-Corner Region."

"Yes." That Elder responded, a fierce look flashing across his face.

The area near Peace Town was within their Canaan Academy's jurisdiction. After a major battle in the past, the Black-Corner Region didn't dare to cause trouble, yet these remnants of the Black Alliance dared to come.

This matter must be met with retaliation!

Immediately, Elder Su asked Xiao Yan if he wanted them to escort him to the Black-Corner Region.

Xiao Yan smiled and refused.

He had been injured by Ling Quan just now; the injuries weren't particularly severe, and he still had combat strength.

Moreover, Senior Apprentice Sister Zi Yan was with him.

Elder Su then led his people back to Canaan Academy.

Standing in place, Xiao Yan watched them enter Peace Town, then continued his journey with Zi Yan.

The two arrived at a city in the Black-Corner Region, paid their fees, and boarded a flying magical beast.

In the room.

Zi Yan leaned against a table, grabbing fruit and stuffing it into her mouth, while eating, she didn't forget to say, "Xiao Yan, are you sure that Soul Cang from the academy is your elder brother?"

Xiao Yan asked in confusion, "Why do you ask that?"

Zi Yan said, "The feeling he gave me just now was so strong! Much stronger than at school!"

"That's normal." Xiao Yan was very calm; he had long grown accustomed to his elder brother's rapid increase in strength. If his improvement ever slowed down, he would find it strange.

Zi Yan was a bit annoyed: "Damn it, I should have fought him back then at the academy."

Xiao Yan asked in surprise, "Senior Apprentice Sister, are you alright?"

Why do you always want to fight my elder brother?

In fact, Xiao Yan didn't know that Zi Yan had always been the undisputed number one on the Strong Ranking List at the academy.

Only during the year Soul Cang was at the academy did people question her position.

Many believed that if Soul Cang hadn't disappeared, the Strong Ranking List's number one spot that year might not have belonged to Zi Yan.

After a moment of silence, Zi Yan said again, "Xiao Yan, do you think your elder brother knows a lot?"

Xiao Yan nodded without hesitation.

Whether it was the Dou Emperor cultivation technique, the Gu Emperor Cave key, or even the locations of strange flames.

His elder brother knew all of it.

Zi Yan sat cross-legged, cupping her small face in her hands, and murmured, "Can he find out my background?"

Xiao Yan was startled, pondered for a moment, and said, "He probably can. I can help you ask, and if I find out, Senior Apprentice Sister, can we cancel the pill debt?"

Zi Yan's expression hardened, and she said resolutely, "No!"

Xiao Yan had a splitting headache; a thousand pills, how much time would that take to refine?

He was a bit puzzled: "Senior Apprentice Sister, why do you always need to eat pills?"

Zi Yan calmly said, "To increase my strength."

Unlike most people, Zi Yan was a transformed magical beast, requiring a lot of energy to increase her strength. Her cultivation speed was much slower compared to digesting power from pills.

"Alright then." Xiao Yan smiled helplessly.

This work is organized and uploaded by ~ ~

In the following days, the two stayed in their room, only occasionally going out to shop for food when transferring or stopping to rest; otherwise, they rarely left.

During this time, Xiao Yan couldn't help but recall the words Ling Quan spoke when facing him.

They were heartbreaking, but also very realistic!

In Xiao Yan's understanding, the previous Sect Master of the Yun Lan Sect, Yun Shan, was only at the Dou Zong level.

And in such circumstances, the Yun Lan Sect was already the absolute overlord of the Gama Empire.

Yet, in Xun'er's family, someone like Ling Quan was merely a vice-commander. One could only imagine how powerful this family truly was!

Thinking of this, Xiao Yan clenched his fists. Xun'er, no matter what family you belong to, no matter how powerful those people are, I will never give up, and I will definitely find you!

...

On the other side.

In a certain room, the Soul Power retracted, and Soul Cang slowly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing within them.

Thinking of what had just happened, the corners of Soul Cang's mouth couldn't help but curl slightly upwards.

"Ling Quan actually went to find Xiao Yan privately, even threatening him. This matter is simply excellent!" Soul Cang was just worried about not finding something to provoke Xiao Yan.

Now, he no longer had this concern.

Because Xun'er's family would be Xiao Yan's greatest motivation to become stronger next.

"Killing a vice-commander shouldn't cause any qualitative change." Soul Cang frowned in thought.

In that situation, besides Xiao Yan, there were no outsiders, so there was no need to worry about the news getting out.

As for the possibility of the Gu Clan detecting an anomaly and sending people to find Xiao Yan, it didn't matter.

Xiao Yan's current strength, anyone with a discerning eye would know, couldn't be a match for Ling Quan.

Thinking of this, Soul Cang dismissed the matter from his mind and no longer paid attention to it.

...

At the same time.

In the Ancient World, the Gu Clan.

In a dim room, several crisp sounds rang out. An Elder who was dozing off instantly woke up and turned to look ahead.

Floating there were many jade slips, all of which recorded the Soul Jade of the Gu Clan members.

Once shattered, it declared that someone had died.

This person raised a hand and, upon realizing it was Ling Quan and others, immediately went to report to the Clan Elder.

"Ling Quan is dead?" Hearing this, the Clan Elder was startled, "Immediately send someone to bring the young lady back!"

Ling Quan was sent by him to pick up Xun'er. Now that Ling Quan was dead, what about Xun'er?

The Gu Clan immediately dispatched strong experts. Xun'er was someone they valued immensely, and nothing must happen to her.

After waiting for a long time, the Clan Elder received news that Xun'er was safe and sound and was on her way back.

At this, the Clan Elder was a bit bewildered: "Since Xun'er is fine, how did Ling Quan die? Who was responsible for his death?"

Could it be... him?

A name flashed through the Clan Elder's mind, and he summoned someone to investigate.

Before departing, he instructed the person not to make a big deal out of it, only needing to determine if Ling Quan's death was related to him.

Because the Clan Elder had received news that Xun'er held that person in very high regard. If Xun'er were to find out anything, and develop resentment towards the clan, that would not be good.

The person noted it down and departed.
