Killing towards Qingfeng City, ransacking the City Lord's Mansion

Just as Li Changfeng was grumbling, he suddenly sensed Hu Yunxi's gaze.

He looked up and saw Hu Yunxi glaring at him, her beautiful eyes filled with ill will.

Li Changfeng was startled.

“Can she perceive my thoughts?!”

As this thought surfaced, Li Changfeng quickly lowered his head, his heart churning with stormy waves!

If Hu Yunxi could even see through his inner thoughts, that would truly be terrifying!

Hu Yunxi snorted coldly, then said, “Sect Leader Li, you just said you’d give us a generous gift as a token of your sincerity. Where is it?”

Li Changfeng trembled and quickly said, “The Murong Family’s City Lord’s Mansion is also a two-star force, and they’ve accumulated a vast amount of wealth over the years. Anything Xiao Ming fancies, he can take.”

“It doesn’t even matter if he takes everything. I wonder if this gift will satisfy Senior?”

After speaking, Li Changfeng cautiously looked at Hu Yunxi.

Hu Yunxi then looked at Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming grinned, rubbing his hands and laughing, “Then I won’t be polite.”

“No, no, you don’t need to be polite…” Li Changfeng quickly said.

Hu Yunxi also nodded in satisfaction, then said, “Alright, you all go heal. I’ll follow Young Master to the Murong Family now.”

With that, Hu Yunxi pulled Xiao Ming and walked down the mountain.

Only then did Li Changfeng climb up from the ground, letting out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Hu Yunxi’s graceful departing figure, his eyes filled with apprehension.

“It’s not that I haven’t seen Transformation Domain Realm powerhouses, but why, in front of her, do I always feel like I have nowhere to hide, as if even my thoughts can be probed?” Li Changfeng murmured to himself,

“This maidservant Xiao Ming took in is not simple…”

As he spoke, a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of Li Changfeng’s mouth.

This wasn’t because Hu Yunxi had secretly attacked him, but rather the lingering effects of the severe injuries from the previous battle.

Li Changfeng dared not delay and quickly flew to his residence to begin secluded cultivation for healing.

On the other side.

Xiao Ming and Hu Yunxi descended the mountain.

Not long after walking, Hu Yunxi couldn’t help but say, “Young Master, your master Li Changfeng seems to have some suspicions about you.”

“Hmm? What does he suspect me of?” Xiao Ming was surprised.

“He suspects your luck is too good, otherwise how could you have taken me as a maidservant?” Hu Yunxi said, “I could sense him secretly grumbling about you in his heart.”

“Oh, so that’s what it is,” Xiao Ming laughed indifferently, “Let him grumble if he wants to.”

After speaking, Xiao Ming suddenly realized something was amiss.

“Little Yunxi, can you probe others’ thoughts?”

Hu Yunxi slowly nodded, “As long as they aren’t special individuals, I can generally sense their inner thoughts. For ordinary cultivators like Li Changfeng, they have no secrets before me.”

After a pause, Hu Yunxi added, “However, I don’t use this ability often. After all, I’m not very interested in other people’s thoughts.”

Xiao Ming was stunned.

Being able to probe others’ thoughts was a truly formidable ability!

This was similar to the Buddhist mind-reading ability or the Daoist mind-reading technique. Although it had no actual destructive power, if used well, it could produce unexpected results.

If used in combat, any thought of the enemy would be captured, and in such a situation, one could stand invincible!

Furthermore, a person with this ability could avoid being deceived or falling into conspiracies and traps.

But.

Xiao Ming was more concerned about himself.

“Little Yunxi, can you probe my thoughts?” Xiao Ming asked with bright eyes.

Hu Yunxi shook her head.

She explained somewhat apologetically, “Actually, I once tried to probe Young Master’s inner thoughts, but I found that Young Master is very special, vastly different from others.”

“There is a mysterious power within your body, and furthermore, you are covered in a thick mist externally. All of these prevent me from perceiving anything.”

Xiao Ming breathed a sigh of relief.

The mysterious power within his body was likely the system.

As for the thick mist outside his body, he didn’t know if it was something the system created or if it was influenced by his own luck.

The main reason Xiao Ming was worried about Hu Yunxi probing his thoughts was because, initially, his intentions towards Hu Yunxi were not entirely proper.

He took Hu Yunxi as a maidservant and kept her by his side primarily because he valued her as the reincarnation of the Heavenly Fox Empress, possessing several Nine-Colored Luck, and also having the special ability to bring prosperity to her husband and children.

Xiao Ming had to admit that, at the time, he had ulterior motives towards Hu Yunxi.

If Hu Yunxi were just a very ordinary Little Fox Girl, Xiao Ming might have pitied her, but he definitely wouldn’t have kept her by his side.

Although as time passed, in addition to his ulterior motives, Xiao Ming also developed other feelings for Hu Yunxi, such as friendship, and treating her as a close companion.

But if Hu Yunxi knew his initial intentions were impure, it would definitely cause conflict.

She might even turn hostile on the spot and become a stranger.

This was not impossible!

But fortunately, he himself was extremely special, and Hu Yunxi couldn’t probe his inner thoughts.

This way, all potential hidden dangers were gone.

Just as he was thinking.

A large crowd suddenly appeared ahead. It was Su Tianming leading a group of elders and most of the Spirit Sword Sect disciples.

They were radiant, each one almost beaming with joy.

“Grand Elder Su, judging by your happy expressions, it seems you’ve dealt with your opponents?” Xiao Ming proactively asked.

“All dealt with!” Su Tianming laughed heartily, “The elite group brought by Murong Ce was completely wiped out by us, all of them killed!”

“From today onwards, within a thousand-mile radius, there will only be one two-star force, and our Spirit Sword Sect can finally dominate this region!”

After speaking, Su Tianming burst into another fit of laughter.

The crowd behind him was also extremely smug, their smiles both excited and arrogant.

“Vice Sect Leader Xiao, where are you planning to go?” Su Tianming reined in his smile and asked curiously.

“Oh, the Sect Leader, to thank Hu Yunxi for saving his life, promised to let me handle all the Murong Family’s wealth, allowing me to take whatever I want,” Xiao Ming said, “I’m about to go down the mountain and make a trip to the Murong Family.”

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished.

Sect Leader Li Changfeng promised to give all the Murong Family’s wealth to Xiao Ming?

The Murong Family’s City Lord’s Mansion was also a two-star force, having amassed an unknown amount of wealth over the years; its foundation was probably no less than that of the Spirit Sword Sect!

And now, all these things belonged to Xiao Ming?

Unlike the shock of others, Su Tianming silently nodded, then said, “Senior Hu’s great kindness in saving our lives is something we cannot repay. Giving up some benefits is no big deal!”

Then he thoughtfully asked, “Since Vice Sect Leader is going to plunder the Murong Family’s City Lord’s Mansion, do you want to bring more people? At least they can help you find and transport many things.”

“Sure, I was thinking the same thing.” Xiao Ming smiled and said.

Su Tianming didn’t waste words. He immediately turned and pointed to several elders, instructing, “You, you, you, and you, take two hundred disciples and follow Vice Sect Leader to the City Lord’s Mansion to raid it.”

“And while you’re at it, exterminate every single member of the Murong Family, from top to bottom, to eliminate future troubles!”

“Additionally, after destroying the Murong Family, occupy the entire city. Make it widely known to the cultivators and citizens in the city that from today onwards, Qingfeng City belongs to our Spirit Sword Sect!”

“Yes!” The named elders clasped their fists in response, their eyes burning with eagerness and anticipation.

It didn’t take long.

Xiao Ming, leading a group of subordinates, marched mightily into Qingfeng City.
