X-Dragon Era

With a cold glance around the room, Xin Yun tensed up secretly. In that instant... the skin pouch on Xin Yun's right thigh began trembling violently. The next moment... the seven Boomerang Axes that were deeply embedded in the body of the enemy also shook, then transformed into axe shadows. They traced seven graceful arcs through the air before returning one by one to the pouch on Xin Yun's thigh.

"Clang, clang, clang..." Amidst seven sonorous sounds, the seven Boomerang Axes were all sheathed. At the same time, Xin Yun turned his head and gave a knowing look to the two girls in the crowd.

Receiving Xin Yun's signal, the two girls quickly made their way out of the crowd. They supported Ming Xuan's mother, who was still shocked and gaping, from the left and right and walked out of the crowd, while Xin Yun, pulling Ming Xuan by the arm, squeezed through the crowd and made his departure.

Rushing back home, the two girls placed Ming Xuan's mother on the bed, but the preceding event had been too stimulating. Even now, Ming Xuan's mother had not calmed down and was huddled in the corner, her face pale and full of helplessness.

As for Ming Xuan, he was not much better off. Although he would be a remarkable person in the future, right now, he was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child. Facing such a scene, it was impossible for him to stay calm. In fact, even Yi Luo Xiang was experiencing tremendous unease, she just didn't show it.

The only ones who remained calm were probably only Xin Yun and Yan Qingying. There was no need to speak of Xin Yun; in his past life, he had experienced countless bloody storms, and such scenes were only minor to him, his heart had long been numb.

As for Yan Qingying, it was even less likely that she would be moved by such a trivial matter. The training of the Demon Dragon Clan was by no means easy. She had experienced countless scenes a million times more cruel than this, and if necessary, Yan Qingying could definitely be a million times more ruthless than Xin Yun—this was no exaggeration!

Cruel Dragon—Demon Queen Yan Qingying! That referred to her incomparably brutal methods. From this, it was evident that such a small scene could not disturb her!

Seeing the panicked state of Ming Xuan and his mother, Xin Yun spoke calmly, "Since we've already offended those people, it seems... this city is no longer a place we can live in. Everyone, pack up, we must leave immediately. If we're late, we might not be able to escape."

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Ming Xuan's mother finally snapped back to her senses, and began to cry in panic, murmuring, "Oh heavens, what should we do? Where can we go, where are we able to go?"

Seeing his mother so bewildered, Ming Xuan could not afford to be scared anymore. He hurried to the bed, grabbed his mother's hand, and said, "Don't be afraid, Mother. The world is vast, there will always be a place for us to live!"

Though his words were heartening, in reality, Ming Xuan had no idea what to do next. After all, he was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child.

No sooner had he comforted his mother than Ming Xuan turned his head and looked at Xin Yun with a pleading gaze. Witnessing this, Xin Yun smiled and said, "Don't worry, everything will be alright. Leave everything to me."

With that, Xin Yun glanced at the simple room and said uncertainly, "If there is anything that needs to be packed up, start doing it right away. We have to leave as soon as possible, the sooner the better!"

Hearing Xin Yun's words, Ming Xuan quickly jumped off the bed and dived underneath it. After some rustling sounds, he emerged with a sandalwood box clutched tightly to his chest. Ming Xuan affirmed, "Other than Father's ashes, we don't have anything else valuable. We can leave at any time..."

Seeing the wooden box in Ming Xuan's arms, Xin Yun understood—success was no coincidence. A person of great filial piety is surely correct. With that in mind, Xin Yun signaled the two girls to help Ming Xuan's mother, and the group, without taking anything, quickly left the dilapidated home...

Ten minutes after Xin Yun left the broken house, over a hundred burly men violently stormed into the alley, quickly surrounding the ramshackle dwelling. A single swing of a battle axe shattered the crooked wooden door into pieces, and two figures rushed frantically into the house.

After scanning the room a few times, even checking under the bed without missing a single spot, and making sure no one was there, they hurriedly left the house and reported back to a dignified middle-aged man.

Hearing his subordinate's words, the dignified middle-aged man dangerously squinted his eyes and said in a deep voice, "So they even knew to run away! However... since they dare to mess with the Fierce Dragon Gang, they're as good as dead. Even if they can dodge this obstacle, I'm afraid they won't be able to evade the interception outside the city!"

Although Shanshui City was small, it had a population of over a million, so there were East, West, South, and North Dragon Halting Grounds. It would be almost impossible to lock down the entire city unless you were the city lord, so the Fierce Dragon Gang chose to guard the four city gates. Unless those guys don't leave the city, even if they grew wings, escaping would be difficult!

Within a dark alley near the city gate, Xin Yun stood with a furrowed brow. Beside him, Ming Xuan was anxiously clutching his mother's arm, comforting her while constantly glancing over at Xin Yun.

Although Xin Yun was much younger than him by age, Ming Xuan knew that usual reasoning couldn't be applied to this newly met partner. Despite his young age, he exhibited a maturity that belonged to an adult, composed and steadfast.

Finally, Xin Yun abruptly lifted his head and said to Yi Luo Xiang, "Yi Luo, we are about a hundred meters from the city gate. If we find a place here to summon the flash butterfly, can you directly teleport outside the city?"

Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang furrowed her brows and stealthily ran to the mouth of the alley, carefully observing the city gate for a good while before returning, closing her eyes to calculate.

After quite some time, Yi Luo Xiang decisively shook her head and said, "No, absolutely not. I can only appear in front of the city gate, about twenty meters away. To appear directly outside the city, I would need to break through to the silver tier!"

Sighing deeply, Xin Yun said with a wry smile, "All right, if that's the case, then we have no choice but to do this. Follow me..." As he spoke, Xin Yun quickly turned around and walked deeper into the alley.

At the end of the alley was an abandoned warehouse with a large area, but it was so destroyed that it was no longer recognizable. The surrounding walls were still relatively intact, but the entire roof had collapsed and was beyond use.

Standing at the warehouse entrance, Xin Yun turned around and said to Yi Luo Xiang, "Now, at the city gate, there are hundreds of Fierce Dragon Gang members blocking the way. We can't get out without taking them down, so... I'm afraid we'll need to use your Death Sand Dragon!"

"You mean!" Upon hearing Xin Yun's words, Yi Luo Xiang looked at him incredulously, clearly guessing at his plan.

Seeing this, Xin Yun solemnly nodded and continued, "That's right, we have no other choice. Summon the flash butterfly right here without being seen. Then, using Soul Control, command the Death Sand Dragon to attack the South City Gate and scatter those people to cover our escape!"

He paused for a moment before adding, "As for you, after covering for our escape from the city, leap over the wall from the right side of the city gate."

Yi Luo Xiang nodded resolutely upon hearing Xin Yun's plan. She knew... Xin Yun wasn't ignoring her safety. Once the commotion started, all attention would surely be drawn to the South City Gate. Therefore, with the cover of the buildings, Yi Luo Xiang could easily leave the city. Read new adventures at empire

Moreover, even if discovered, it wouldn't be a problem. Once out of the city, Xin Yun would be there to meet her. Then, even if danger arose, they would face it together, not abandoning Yi Luo Xiang.

With Yi Luo Xiang's ability, if she wanted to run away, long distances couldn't be guaranteed, but in short-range, there was really no way to stop her. The ability to teleport, which completely ignored interceptions and barriers, made everything exceptionally simple.

If Yi Luo Xiang only wanted to escape by herself, it would be very easy; a few teleports and she would disappear. However, the nature of the flash butterfly meant that she could only leave alone, unable to carry anyone with her.
