Chapter 246: 147. He has his own method for interrogation.
Amidst the sneers and the whistling night wind, multiple figures gradually emerged from the darkness.
They were three beastmen cloaked in black robes, apparently tigermen and leopardmen transformed from their beast forms.
The scent of blood followed the cold wind into their nostrils.
Xu Yuan and Xue Lin looked up at the three unwelcome guests.
"People of the Wind Tiger clan!"
Enemies meeting, their eyes reddened with hostility.
Xue Lin's face, once flushed, was now filled with hatred.
"It really was you!"
"Tsk tsk,"
The girl leading them, utterly disdainful, said, "What do you mean it was them? Don't speak without thinking. Our Thunder Leopard clan also took part in this massacre."
Listening to their unhesitant mocking words, Xue Lin's chest heaved dramatically, tracing elegant curves.
"You, you guys!"
"Heh, flustered so quickly?"
The Leopard Woman flicked her seductive tongue across her fiery lips and then said,
"Looking at you, you probably don't care much about the death of your tribesmen, otherwise, you wouldn't be here fooling around with this guy…"
Smack!
She was cut off mid-sentence.
A hand formed from spiritual power harshly slapped her face, sending her remaining words and knocked-out teeth back down her throat.
A clear red imprint appeared on her cheek in an instant.
"What?!"
The Leopard Woman's face showed a mix of shock and anger, but she knew deep down, the notorious silly girl before her couldn't possibly possess such skill.
Her eyes then turned towards the solemn Xu Yuan standing beside Xue Lin, threateningly stating, "Who are you, and why interfere in our business? Among the Thunder Leopard and Wind Tiger clans, there are Nascent Soul stage powerhouses."
"Nascent Soul? Worthy to be called powerhouses?"
Xu Yuan, upon hearing this, offered a faint smile and said, "Your mouth is unclean. I had to discipline you a bit first."
"You?!"
The Leopard Woman gritted her teeth while secretly panicking.
Although she couldn't figure out the origins of the man before her, from that previous blow, she knew he was not someone to provoke easily.
If he decided to protect Xue Lin, with their strength, they'd likely fail to take her from this mysterious man.
"This young man, I just can't understand. Why choose such a nobody? If you wish, I too can serve you," she said.
With that thought, the Leopard Woman's eyes flickered, her expression changed, and she reached for the tie of her black robe.
"Shameless woman!"
Xue Lin's face hardened as she sharply retorted.
At the same time, she quickly grabbed Xu Yuan's arm, fearing he might be seduced by this woman.
"Forget it, someone as easy as you aren't to my liking—who knows what diseases you might have."
Xu Yuan waved his hand dismissively.
"You?!"
Hearing his words, the Leopard Woman's face turned patches of green and white.
"Let's go."
After a moment of struggle, the Leopard Woman chose to retreat.
"Leave?"
The other two were clearly puzzled, failing to understand why she chose to retreat without even fighting.
Although they didn't understand the opponent's techniques, for the Demon Beast clan, a powerful physique was key.
These secretive techniques held no real deterrent for them.
After all, the Beast Clan had many among them with innate divine skills stored within their bloodline memories. If they had to investigate every mysterious technique, then what was the point in fighting?
But, since the Leopard Woman was the real leader, even though they felt dissatisfied, they dared not show it and simply bowed their heads and said, "Yes."
"Leaving? When did I say you could go?"
Xu Yuan finally raised his head, his gaze indifferently sweeping over the three of them.
This seemingly casual look suddenly made the trio feel a stifling pressure, inexplicably feeling overwhelmed.
"What do you want?"
The Leopard Woman frowned.
Despite being unable to see through the mysterious man's true strength, she still didn't think that the three of them couldn't escape from him.
You should know, Core Formation stage demons among the demon clans are considered central pillars.
Although the man's techniques seemed mysterious, she didn't believe he had reached the Nascent Soul Stage.
"I mean no harm, I just want you to stay and keep them company," Xu Yuan's calm voice said.
With those words, the sense of crisis in the Leopard Woman's heart ballooned instantly.
"Thunder Shadow!"
Without hesitation, she activated her clan's innate divine ability. Veins bulged on her legs as she kicked hard, boosting herself to peak speed in a brief moment.
The next moment, her afterimage tore through space as she charged fiercely forward, her claws flickering with darting thunder lights.

Clearly, although she was wary of Xu Yuan,
this wariness wasn't as deep as Xu Yuan might have thought.
As the Leopard Woman launched her attack, the remaining leopardman and tigerman exchanged glances, both showing excitement. They then tore off the cloaks on their bodies, following the Leopard Woman's lead in rushing forward.
The gray and white figures dashed forward with a slightly superior speed.
"Oh, not fleeing, but charging towards me?"
Xu Yuan was not too surprised, merely clenching his hand.
At this moment, even the bright firelight seemed to suddenly pause.
