Boom!
The flowers and plants throughout the city heard the imperial edict and immediately started to grow wildly.
Xue An, who was fleeing, felt something strange underfoot. Turning her head, she saw an ordinary tree suddenly grow much taller. Its branches and leaves stretched out and violently attacked Xue An.
Xue An was terrified to the core and barely managed to dodge the attack.
But before she could catch her breath, several wild grasses behind her suddenly extended their stems and twined around Xue An’s neck from behind.
Xue An wanted to struggle, but the wild grass rose and, with a snap, twisted her neck and broke it.
Xue An, dead!
At this time, Hua Baizhe had already run to the northernmost end of Xiangjiang.
Here she had prepared a cruise ship in advance.
As long as she could get to sea, the safety factor would increase significantly.
She could already see the ship in the distance.
Hua Baizhe had just breathed a sigh of relief.
Suddenly, the grass under her feet turned soft, and then, like a swamp, one of her legs sunk in.
Hua Baizhe trembled with fright, then used all her strength to jump high into the air.
But at that moment, she was in the outskirts of Xiangjiang.
The hillside was covered in wild grass, with dandelions being the most abundant.
As she leaped into mid-air,
the dandelions all bent down to the ground, and the white dandelion seeds detached from the stems, aiming straight for the mid-air Hua Baizhe.
Hua Baizhe was petrified with fear.
What the hell kind of moves are these?
Hiss.
A light sound.
A dandelion seed brushed past Hua Baizhe’s shoulder.
Blood immediately gushed out.
The normally frail dandelions were now sharper than blades.
Hua Baizhe used all her skills to dodge this wave of attacks, and after landing, she tried to run.
But the next moment, she froze.
Because the wound on her shoulder was now sprouting little dandelions that grew at an extremely fast pace.
All her strength was drained from her body, and then, staring blankly at the distant ship, she fell to the ground unwillingly.
The wild grass instantly buried her.
Hua Baizhe, dead!
Meanwhile, in various corners of Xiangjiang, almost everyone targeted by the assassination was being killed.
The killers were the ubiquitous plants of Xiangjiang.
Amidst the plucking of leaves and drifting flowers, all members of the assassination faction perished.
This was truly, “The Falling Leaves and Drifting Flowers, Both Lethal!”
An Qing and the others watched, dumbfounded.
Even some of them started to look at Song Yi differently.
With a single command, amidst the swaying of the plants, all were killed.
Is this even a realm achievable by humans?
But Song Yi just laughed indifferently and then said to An Qing, “Is your mission to obtain this sword?”
An Qing nodded.
“Then take it!” Song Yi threw the sword to An Qing.
An Qing and the people of Phoenix Immortal were all shocked.
Such a treasured Immortal sword, given away just like that?
Song Yi thought nothing of it.
This deceased Half-step Golden Immortal clearly specialized only in formations and was very unfamiliar with sword forging.
This Flowing Light Sword, both in terms of material and forging technique, was trash.
Song Yi didn’t have any regard for such a thing.
Of course, although Song Yi looked down upon it,
this Flowing Light Sword, having once been the sidearm of a Half-step Golden Immortal, was considered an unparalleled treasure in the mundane world.
An Qing accepted it with solemnity and nodded towards Song Yi, “Thank you, brother-in-law!”
At that moment, An Qing finally completely respected Song Yi.
She once thought her sister was bewitched, but now it seemed that it was her sister who had discerning eyes and wisdom.
“Now that things here are settled, brother-in-law, you and my sister should come back with us to Zhongdu!”
But Song Yi shook his head, “There’s no rush, I still have one thing to do!”
“What’s the matter?”
Xue An looked towards the north, his voice cold as he said, “Since the Yuan Family of Jibei has repeatedly sought trouble, then there’s no need for their existence!”
After speaking, Xue An leapt up and said to An Yan, “Wife, wait for me for a moment, I’ll be back soon!”
Having said that, Xue An turned into a streak of flowing light and disappeared into the sky.
At this moment, Song Yi couldn’t help but sigh, “This… this is the grandeur of an Immortal!”
The Yuan Family of Jibei.
Yuan Chengyu was enjoying his wine with self-satisfaction.
All had been calm and tranquil in Jibei for some time.
Although the Yuan Family had lost Yuan Zongfeng, they were still considered a top-ranking noble family in Jibei.
Especially since his daughter had gone to Xiangjiang, if she really could cooperate with the Ming Family to uncover the Immortal’s legacy, it would greatly benefit the development of the Yuan Family!
Thinking this, Yuan Chengyu couldn’t help but reveal a hint of a smile.
Outside the mansion of the Yuan Family.
A few guards dressed as members of the Yuan Family were chatting leisurely.
“Heard that the young mistress went to Xiangjiang?”
“Yeah! It was the Ming Family who specially invited her over!”
“Tsk tsk, I really admire our young mistress, she is a genius among mortals, truly a real talent!”
The group was chatting away.
When they saw a strikingly handsome man slowly walking over from the street.
At first, they didn’t pay much attention and continued to chat.
Until the man walked up to the mansion’s gate.
One of them then frowned, “What business do you have? Do you have an appointment to enter the Yuan Family?”
The man turned his head and gave him a look.
That member of the Yuan Family was instantly petrified.
For he had never seen such deep and cold eyes.
High above all, like an emperor.
Thud.
A lifeless body collapsed to the ground.
A mere glance was enough to shatter the Divine Sense of that member of the Yuan Family, killing him.
The other members of the Yuan Family were all stunned, not knowing what had just happened.
But the man simply shook his head lightly, “It’s meaningless to kill you lot!”
After speaking, he stepped forward and proceeded.
The gate made of rosewood could not stop the man, and with a bang,
the gate fell to the ground.
Then the man stood atop the steps and said indifferently, “Members of the Yuan Family, come out and meet your death!”
This man was naturally Xue An.
He had traveled thousands of miles in just over half an hour, arriving directly at the Yuan Family of Jibei.
As his voice rang out, the entire Yuan Family was shaken.
“Who dares to cause trouble in the Yuan Family?” someone roared as they rushed out. He was the captain of the Yuan Family’s security, a master of the Zhenren Realm.
Xue An casually waved his hand, and the head of this Zhenren captain soared into the air.
Blood sprayed everywhere.
This scene shocked the members of the Yuan Family who followed.
“Who are you? Why have you come to my Yuan Family to cause trouble?” The speaker was one of the elders of the Yuan Family.
Xue An glanced at him, “Are you Yuan Chengyu?”
“He’s our Family Head, I am just an elder of the Yuan Family,” the man said proudly.
Xue An nodded, “If not, then die!”
At his command, the man collapsed to the ground with a thud.
As the word was spoken, the law followed.
This eerie scene sent a chill through the hearts of everyone present from the Yuan Family.
Who in the world is this man?
At that moment, Yuan Chengyu hurried over and shouted angrily, “Who is this madman who dares to make trouble in my Yuan Family?”
Xue An stood with his hands behind his back on the steps, the corners of his mouth revealing a faint smile.
“My name is Xue An! I’ve come today to exterminate the Yuan Family!”
Xue An.
This name, like a curse, struck fear into all of the Yuan Family’s people.
