Chapter 284: Chapter 284: Only He Can Save Me

The mountain wind howled, and the strange rocks among the mountains looked like beasts lurking in the darkness at night.

The saying goes that with high skill comes great courage; Lan Jiaojiao was not afraid at all.

However, when she reached the entrance of a valley and saw the three words carved on a ten-meter-high boulder, her face instantly lost color.

--- Blood Evil Sect.

Lan Jiaojiao had originally thought that the immortal figures mentioned by the villagers of Little Stone Village were just a ragtag group. Her cultivation wasn’t high, but Lei Xiao was at the Qi Cultivation Late Stage, more than capable of dealing with these minor pawns.

But she hadn’t expected that this place was actually the Blood Evil Sect.

She had heard Qin Yi mention that the Blood Evil Sect was not easy to deal with. Could Qin Yi’s enemies be a simple force?

"Let’s go, leave this place."

Lan Jiaojiao decided instantly, wanting to retreat.

With just her and Lei Xiao, they couldn’t possibly match the Blood Evil Sect.

"Why leave?"

Lei Xiao looked puzzled. It had taken them so much effort to get here. He still wanted to show off in front of Lan Jiaojiao, to let her know he was her ideal match.

Lan Jiaojiao said in a deep voice, "This is the Blood Evil Sect, not something we can handle. Leave quickly, or it’ll be too late to go."

However, when the village chief heard Lan Jiaojiao wanted to leave, his eyes turned vicious, and he screamed, "Help, Immortal, help..."

Puff!

The mountain glinted, and a bright, sharp dagger was directly thrust into the village chief’s chest.

The village chief looked at the dagger sticking into his chest in horror, opened his mouth to scream, but his heart was pierced through. The last bit of life quickly dissipated, and his head drooped helplessly.

The two young men supporting the village chief were frightened out of their wits.

Puff! Puff!

Blood splattered as the chilling daggers sliced through their throats.

Lei Xiao looked in shock at the three corpses on the ground. He hadn’t expected Lan Jiaojiao to be so decisive, killing these three people without a hint of hesitation.

Lan Jiaojiao’s expression was indifferent. She never intended to let the village chief and the two young men go. How could such people be allowed to return to continue harming the villagers?

She had witnessed Qin Yi’s decisive killings. From the moment she left the Dragon Mountain Range, she was no longer the same Lan Jiaojiao. Some people simply did not deserve to live.

It must be said, Qin Yi’s influence on Lan Jiaojiao was significant, making her realize that being merciful to the enemy was being cruel to oneself.

"Quick, go!"

Lan Jiaojiao shouted quietly.

However, when the two of them turned around, their steps halted, and their eyes shrank hard.

When did this happen? An old man dressed in a blood-red robe stood behind them, skeletal in appearance, with cheeks lacking flesh, sunken eye sockets, and a ghostly gaze. In the dark, he looked like a revived corpse.

If it weren’t for Lan Jiaojiao and Lei Xiao being no ordinary people, they would probably be scared to death on the spot.

"Who are you?"

The opponent spoke, his voice hoarse and unpleasant, making one’s skin crawl.

Lan Jiaojiao tried to appear calm and said lightly, "Sorry, the terrain here is complex, and we got lost."

The old man’s gaze moved to the three corpses on the ground, then looked up at Lan Jiaojiao, his eyes filled with ridicule.

"Young lady, such ruthless methods."

Lan Jiaojiao understood that her attempt to muddle through was futile.

"The villagers of Little Stone Village said that a group of immortals lived here. I just wanted to see what immortals look like."

The opponent laughed sinisterly, "Stop showing off your little tricks in front of me. You clearly know about the Blood Evil Sect. Earlier, I heard everything you said."

Lan Jiaojiao’s face changed slightly, regretting her rashness! She shouldn’t have come here without investigating first; now she was in trouble.

"Are you two guardians?"

Lei Xiao said proudly, "So what if we are? I belong to the Lei Family in Jingfeng City."

The opponent’s gaze was dark in the night, suddenly laughing, "It seems the Lei Family intends to take action against my Blood Evil Sect?"

"It seems guardians are not all worthless, being able to find this place. But... isn’t the Lei Family too arrogant to only send two immature kids to their deaths."

Lan Jiaojiao’s heart skipped a beat, realizing this person wasn’t afraid of guardians. She said, "We truly don’t dare to be presumptuous; it’s not something the two of us can handle."

The opponent’s eyes flickered, "Do you mean that others from the Lei Family are also here?"

Lan Jiaojiao remained silent, her expression unchanged.

The opponent suddenly laughed coldly, "At this moment, pretending in front of this old man, did you forget that I heard everything you said before?"

Lan Jiaojiao suddenly tightened the grip on her dagger; this opponent wasn’t easily deceived.

Lei Xiao looked arrogant, "So what if you heard, do you dare to be our Lei Family’s enemy?"

The opponent suddenly sneered, his voice filled with mockery and disdain, "What is the Lei Family? Even if all those pitiful Qi Refiners came, they wouldn’t leave the Blood Evil Sect alive."

"It’s been a long time since I’ve tasted the blood of Qi Refiners. Although your cultivation is a bit lacking, you’re much stronger than ordinary people."

Lan Jiaojiao suddenly erupted, throwing her dagger like a hidden weapon, aiming straight for the opponent’s throat. Simultaneously, she pushed Lei Xiao away, shouting, "Find Qin Yi, only he can save me."

Lei Xiao was full of resistance, how could a normal person like Qin Yi save them? Jiaojiao, only I can save you.

Lei Xiao was pushed several meters but turned and came back.

Lan Jiaojiao was both anxious and angry, "I told you to run, why didn’t you run?"

"I can’t leave you here alone. Don’t worry; I will definitely protect you."

Lan Jiaojiao was so angry she felt a stomachache; protect her? This was the Blood Evil Sect, her dagger was shattered in two with a single palm, indicating the opponent was at least a Foundation Establishment Stage expert. Lei Xiao couldn’t save her, not running would only add to the casualties.

However, Lei Xiao, to prove he could protect Lan Jiaojiao, burst with violent power and charged directly at the opponent.

Bam!

A storm swept through, turning the rubble on the ground to dust. Lei Xiao coughed up blood and flew back heavily to the ground.

Lei Xiao’s eyes were filled with shock, his face pale as paper. It was actually a Foundation Establishment Stage? The opponent had injured him with just one palm across the air.

"Jiaojiao, run..."

At this moment, Lei Xiao realized fear and understood why Lan Jiaojiao had been eager to retreat upon seeing the three words Blood Evil Sect. This person’s cultivation was not something they could handle.

Run?

How to run?

Lan Jiaojiao smiled bitterly; her speed was nothing compared to a Foundation Establishment Stage expert.

"Don’t speak!" Lan Jiaojiao crouched down, feeding Lei Xiao a pill.

"Do you know Qin Yi?"

Lan Jiaojiao turned to face the opponent’s fierce gaze, feeling a chill down her spine, but knowing it was futile to deny. She had already called out Qin Yi’s name, so she nodded and said, "Yes!"

"We were just wondering how to deal with Qin Yi, and you delivered yourselves to us." The opponent’s face was filled with sinister coldness, and then he shouted sternly, "Come, capture them."
