"What?"

  Not only Mu She, but even Mr. Yao was momentarily stunned by this news. Both of them immediately sat up straight. Mu She grabbed the merary and demanded, "Hoeople did he bring?"

  "Just him alohe merary replied with a strange expression.

  "Alone?"

  Mu She and Mr. Yao's faces twitched as they exged gnces, as if they had misheard.

  Mu She blurted out in disbelief, "Is he crazy or just pin stupid? Not only is the entire pound filled with all the members of our Wolf Head Merary pany, but there are also meraries from the Thousand Medie House. And you're saying he charged in by himself?"

  The merary quickly hen shook his head and crified, "To be precise, he didn't charge in. He's currently at the entrance of the Thousand Medie House. He took down a few guards and demahat Mr. Yao and the pany Leader go out to meet him."

  "So that's how it is." A look of realization dawned on Mr. Yao's face as he smiled.

  "Mr. Yao, do you know something?" Mu She asked, puzzled.

  With a smile still on his face, Mr. Yao looked at Little Fairy Doctor and said, "That kid probably came to rescue Little Fairy Doctor out of desperation and had no choice but to show himself."

  "Out of desperation?"

  "Based on our estimates, for Xiao Yan to have killed Mu Li, a 6-star Dou Practitioner, and twenty meraries back then, his cultivation level must have been at least that of an 8-star or even 9-star Dou Practitioner."

  Mu She nodded in agreement. His son Mu Li had begun learning a Low Xuan Css Dou Teique. Although he had just started, he was not afraid to face 7-star Dou Practitioners.

  "That Xiao Yan must have obtained powerful Xuan Css Qi Methods and Dou Teiques from that cave. Even if he hasn't broken through to the Dou Master realm yet, his strength is definitely not inferior to ohat's why he dares to e and rescue her."

  Mu She's expression turned even mrim. The Xuan Css Qi Methods and Dou Teiques from that cave were supposed to belong to his Wolf Head Merary pany! Not only were they taken by someone else, his own son had died a wrongful death!

  "Escort Little Fairy Doctor away. If that brat is willing to exge the items from the cave, it's not as if I 't spare you two lovebirds," Mu She said in a anner. However, the look in his eyes revealed that he had no iion of letting go of his son's murderer.

  He strode out of the main hall with a dark expression and ordered icily, "Have someone block the estate's main gate. I want him to know that this is not a pce where he e and go as he pleases!"

  "Uood!" The merary's face also fshed a sinister smile before he quickly turo rey the orders.

  Little Fairy Doctor remained calm when she heard this. Only she knew what had transpired in the cave that night.

  That couldn't really be called a battle; it was a one-sided massacre. Xiao Yan's strength at the time had definitely surpassed Mu She's, let alohe Xiao Yan of six months ter.

  The group quickly passed through the front hall and arrived at the front pound. By the main gate, a youth in bck robes stood smiling. Over a dozen Wolf Head meraries y writhing on the ground at his feet.

  This was the first time Mu She and Mr. Yao had seen Xiao Yan. A few months ago, they had only heard descriptions of him from the people whistered back then.

  "How did you end up in such a sorry state after not seeing you for only a few months?" Xiao Yan looked at the tightly bound Little Fairy Doctor and joked pyfully.

  For some unknown reason, Little Fairy Doctor did not get angry when she heard Xiao Yan's teasing words. Instead, she felt a warm current that soothed her heart.

  "Today, you will pay for your crimes with blood!"

  Mu She took a deep breath as he looked at the devastated pound, then poi Xiao Yan with a vicious and venomous expression.

  Xiao Yan looked at the resentful Mu She thoughtfully and said, "So you're Mu Li's father? There is some resembnce, especially that impotent, enraged look. It's exactly the same."

  ! ! ! !

  Mu She drew a long spear with a g, ready to fight Xiao Yan to the death. Mr. Yao hurriedly pulled him bad said in a low voice, "First get the treasures from the cave, then he's all yours."

  Mr. Yao then stepped forward with a friendly smile and said, "Little friend Xiao Yan, I know you and Little Fairy Doctor share a deep bond. But she poisohe residents of Qingshan Town. We must obtain the medical pendium from the cave to treat the people."

  Xiao Yan gave a slight smile, clearly uanding Mr. Yao's implication. With a flip of his hand, a scroll and an a recipe appeared in his grasp.

  The moment the scroll and recipe appeared, the breathing of Mu She and the others noticeably quied.

  "High Xuan Css Flying Dou Teique 'Eagle Wings' and an a medial recipe. These are what you want?" The rge characters on the cover that read 'High Xuan Css' were particurly eye-catg. Xiao Yan waved the Eagle Wings scroll and the recipe with a beaming smile.

  "Hand them over now!" Mu She and Mr. Yao bellowed in unison.

  Xiao Yan took out a fire starter and said, "Don't shout so loudly. If you startle me and my hand slips, I 't be held responsible if they get burned."

  "What exactly do you want!" Mu She was so furious he gnashed his teeth. Right now he wished for nothing more than to run Xiao Yan through with his spear.

  "It's simple. A person in exge for the items. Have Little Fairy Doctor walk over here and I'll give you what you want."

  Mu She and Mr. Yao exged gnces and nodded slightly to each other.

  "Go ahead."

  Step by step, Little Fairy Doctor walked through the crowd of meraries toward Xiao Yan. He also approached her smiling, as if delivering himself into a trap.

  "Xiao Lan!" Suddenly, Xiao Yan shouted and threw the Dou Teique scroll into the air to draw everyone's attention.

  Chirp chirp!! Xiao Lan dove down from the sky. In a fsh, Xiao Yan dashed in front of Little Fairy Drabbed her, and threw her into the air.

  Chirp! Xiao Lan transformed into a blue light and steadily caught Little Fairy Doctor.

  "You guys wait up there for a while, you e down after I take care of things down here." Xiao Yan even had the leisure to wave at Little Fairy Doctor in the sky.

  Mu She grabbed the Dou Teique scroll Xiao Yan had tossed. When he ope and saw it was indeed a geeique, he could no longer hide the smile on his face.

  "Remember, this teique only be practiced by one person."

  But when Mu She read the final line of the scroll, his expression instantly went bnk. Then, an intense rage erupted from within him as terrifying Dou Qi burst forth.

  "Ahhhh!!!"

  "Kill him!!"

  More and more Wolf Head members poured out from the pouually surrounding Xiao Yan with vicious expressions, their gleaming ons refleg a chilling light uhe sun.

  Including the Thousand Medie House's own guards, there were about a hundred Dou Practitioners surrounding Xiao Yan. He could only shake his head, seeming a bit helpless.

  "I, Xiao Yan, am not an unreasonable person. I'll give you a ce to escape now. Anyone who leaves the pound within ten seds will be spared, no questions asked."

  But unfortunately, good advice often falls on deaf ears. No one was willing to listen.

  Xiao Yan's eyes fshed with a hint of ruthlessness as he saw those meraries charging at him like a pack of ravenous wolves and their eyes filled with greed.

  "Mad Lion t."

  ROAR!! The sound of a lion's roar emanated from Xiao Yan's body as the illusory figure of a blood-red, ferocious lion enveloped him.

  Fingers curled like cws, he swung his right hand forward in a violent mahe illusory mad lion behind him also sshed out with a bloody cw, leaving five bloody gashes that tore through all living things before him.

  In an instant, the bodies of more than a dozen meraries were instantly ripped apart, sliced like vegetables with a single swipe.

  Half a year ago, dealing with a hundred Dou Practitioners, including several 9-star Dou Practitioners and a 2-star Dou Master, would have required a great deal of effort on his part.

  But things were different now. The Mad Lion t provided him with a Dou Teique capable of inflig widespread damage. If he were to use Oe Bst to fight them one punch at a time, who knows how long it would take.

  "Blood Fury Mad Lion!"
