Chapter 166: Chapter 27: Killing Intent_2

There are over a dozen more teams like his raiding squad.

Although these people are unusually excited, the burly leader has his heart in his throat.

This is already the core area of the Pei family’s outer zone, typically absolutely controlled by the Pei family. Those residing here, be they merchants, small families, or other Yuan Condensation figures, are invariably linked to the Pei family in various ways.

The leading burly man turned to glance at the top of a tall building on the street, where a bald middle-aged man stood. His hawk-like eyes scanned the surroundings, akin to a spotlight in the dark. Seeing Guan Guang’s calm demeanor gave him some confidence: "Damn it, Elder Guan is here. Just like before, we’ll raid and run, no lingering."

The burly man made up his mind, his eyes flashing with a fierce glow, drawing out his long knife. The clan leader of this small family was in his master bedroom.

"Kill!"

The burly man’s eyes gleamed with ruthlessness, and he kicked open the door.

Bang!

Contrary to expectations, a figure suddenly appeared, and an iron fist blasted towards his chest.

Bang, bang, bang.

The man hastily discarded the long knife, his fists clashing with the shadowy figure.

"West River Alliance rogues, where do you think you’re going! Kill!"

In the garden, martial artists from several small families suddenly appeared, shouts of battle erupting all around, and rushed at the burly man’s other subordinates.

"Don’t let the West River Alliance villains leave! Kill them all!"

"Dare to rob my Wu family, you West River Alliance dogs, today you came, but won’t leave!"

Suddenly, various sounds of encirclement and slaughter rang out, and the burly man was shocked in his heart.

At this moment, Guan Guang, standing atop a distant rooftop area, focused his attention on this chaos.

"Hmph, still trying to retaliate?"

With a cold snort, Guan Guang swooped down like a hawk, covering ground quickly, heading straight for the Wu family’s location.

Meanwhile, in a nearby area separated by two or three streets, another team was stealthily advancing in the shadows.

The leader was a youth with some resemblance to Pei Zeqi, one of the new leaders of the Pei family’s younger generation—Pei Shiding. As a direct heir of the Pei family’s new generation, although his martial skills weren’t as advanced as Pei Shijing’s peak seventh-grade yuan condensation, he was still at a mid-level fifth-grade state, and in Yanghua, he was considered a formidable presence.

In response to the West River Alliance’s widespread looting, the Pei family had already arranged for its direct heirs to lead teams personally, commanding various small families to counteract surprise attacks from the Hong family and the West River Alliance, while simultaneously providing widespread support.

As the shouts of battle rang out, Pei Shiding was channeling his energy to his ear meridians, carefully discerning the unusual sounds from around.

"It’s the Wu family, I’ll go first, you all provide support elsewhere!"

After hearing this, Pei Shiding’s face tightened, and he instructed some subsidiary disciples behind him.

Having said this, Pei Shiding launched himself silently into the air like a bird spreading its wings against the wind. Leaving shallow footprints in the snow on the wall below, he disappeared into the night sky as a black dot.

Guan Guang and Pei Shiding moved almost simultaneously.

When Guan Guang landed in the Wu family’s courtyard, Pei Shiding arrived two breaths later.

"West River Alliance, daring to cause chaos in the Pei family’s territory, you’re seeking death!"

Pei Shiding’s gaze locked firmly onto the profoundly powerful Guan Guang, he unleashed his energy, and punched fiercely to clash with Guan Guang.

Elsewhere, shouts and cries emerged simultaneously, with flames occasionally reaching the sky.

The shouts, screams, and sounds of smashing disturbed the silent winter night.

**************

Lin Yuan’s small residence.

The chaos in the Pei family’s outer zone naturally began spreading to the Pei family’s core area.

Lin Yuan’s yuan condensation cultivation had already reached the fourth-grade level; his powers were much elevated from when he first entered Yuan Condensation.

As the battle broke out between the West River Alliance and the Pei family guard, Lin Yuan faintly heard disturbances from the outer zones.

"It’s truly chaotic now."

Hearing the battle cries getting closer, indicating a trend of spreading towards the Pei family’s heartland.

Lin Yuan looked up, only to see the sky heavily clouded, not a single star visible. Light snowflakes were falling gently.

"A dark and windy night, a night for killing!"

A streak of gloom flashed deep in Lin Yuan’s eyes.

"What if someone targets me?"

Lin Yuan’s face remained calm, and he softly called to Zhu Lingshan beside him: "Junior sister!"

"Hmm?" Zhu Lingshan was stunned upon hearing this, puzzled at why Lin Yuan suddenly stood up, his expression becoming doubtful: "What is it?"

"This honey fruit tea is too delicious." Xiao Yun placed the small iron spoon into the honey jar, holding her teacup, tasted the flavor, her eyes squinted into lines: "Dear, have you come up with another great recipe?"

No one knows what goes on in his mind to think up such a brilliant idea. A spoonful of sweet honey into slightly bitter tea, paired with a few sour green oranges, and it turned out surprisingly well.

Xiao Yun smacked her lips, took another sip, and couldn’t help but reveal an expression of satisfaction.

Unlike Xiao Yun’s relaxation, Lin Yuan’s face was solemn, staring at Zhu Lingshan, he transmitted his voice with energy: "Go and invite Master and the junior disciple immediately, go together to the secret room I’ve prepared. Hurry."

Zhu Lingshan’s beautiful face immediately frowned.

"Alright!"

But she didn’t hesitate much, turning to Lin Yuan, and gently kissed his cheek.

As her red lips left Lin Yuan’s skin, her moist eyes were covered with a faint mist.

"Be careful." Zhu Lingshan reminded resolutely.

Lin Yuan nodded, pinched her cheek, smiled without speaking.

Even though he was affectionate with Zhu Lingshan, his attention remained focused on the surroundings, afraid someone might be spying secretly and harm Zhu Lingshan and the others.

"Miss?"

Only then did Xiao Yun sense something was off, raising her head to look at Lin Yuan and Zhu Lingshan.

"Xiao Yun, follow Junior Sister." Lin Yuan lightly patted Xiao Yun’s head, softly.

"Oh, oh." Xiao Yun hurriedly nodded, knowing that Lin Yuan showing this attitude meant it was a highly urgent moment.

She quickly put down her teacup and followed Zhu Lingshan towards Zhu Jiyi’s room.

After seeing them disappear, Lin Yuan felt relieved.

He had long anticipated this day would come. The second day after moving, he started crafting a hiding place for Zhu Lingshan and her group, and it finally proved useful now.

Without Zhu Lingshan and the others as burdens, he alone was enough to deal with any situation.

Suppressing the tumultuous thoughts, Lin Yuan called out loudly: "Someone, come!"

"Master!"

From behind a hole in the courtyard wall, a servant appeared.

Lin Yuan instructed casually: "Go to the front courtyard and invite Shen Keqing to join me for tea."

After the attendant left, Lin Yuan ordered other maids to change the tea, brewing a pot of clear tea, quietly waiting for Shen Wanpo’s arrival.

"I wonder who instructed Shen Wanpo to spy on my martial arts practice." Looking at the fireplace ahead where white mist rose continuously from the teapot, Lin Yuan pondered inwardly: "But none of that matters, now is the time to reveal everything."

"My fourth rank Condensed Essence cultivation, how does it compare to Shen Wanpo?"

"Can I handle ten of them? Or twenty?"

Lin Yuan’s gaze was deep, sighing to himself.

Before long, under the servant’s guidance, Shen Wanpo walked decisively towards the pavilion.

"Shen Keqing, please sit!"

Lin Yuan lifted his head, looking at Shen Wanpo’s tall figure, gestured invitingly.

Shen Wanpo nodded, watching Lin Yuan’s calm demeanor, a hint of suspicion flashed in his eyes.

"In this tense situation, is this Lin Pill Master oblivious or does he have other measures?" Shen Wanpo was curious: "Perhaps his thoughts are entirely absorbed in alchemy with no energy spent elsewhere."

"Just a pill fanatic!" Shen Wanpo’s expression remained unchanged, but deep in his eyes, there was a slight regret: "Unfortunately, I can’t save him today."

Lin Yuan seemed not to notice Shen Wanpo’s heavy thoughts, picked up the teapot, pouring tea for him.

At that moment, a figure wielding a long knife silently appeared atop the courtyard’s high wall.

"Is this the one who framed me?"

Xue Ai’s gaze was sharp, looking at the young man pouring tea, killing intent evident.

"Doesn’t matter who it is, one slash will end it."

Xue Ai’s face was calm, landing quietly.

Crunch, crunch.

Holding his knife, boots stepping on the accumulated snow in the garden, Xue Ai gradually walked towards the pavilion.
