Chapter 149: The Crisis Returns

The war was over, and the people from the three great families stayed to begin cleaning up the battlefield. The frightened girls were also quickly taken away from the hillside by the members of the three families, leaving this bloody place behind.

Yun Yi’s face was pale, with a heaviness in his chest, feeling a bit unwell. The Black Wind on his shoulder also looked very tired, his eyes lacking spirit. However, compared to the last time he used the Six Character Mantra at the Yanwu family, his condition was much better.

The three family masters approached, followed by many high-ranking members of the three families. Together, they bowed deeply to Yun Yi in unison.

"Young Master Yun saved the entire Jade Wheel City and saved our three families. We will never forget this kindness," Hong Liang spoke up.

"Director Hong, there’s no need for that. I came to kill Pan Hong to complete the task given by the Yanwu family. Even without you, I would have done the same," Yun Yi replied.

"Young Master Yun did this for the mission, but we must show our gratitude. If Young Master Yun had not acted today, our three families would soon face doom, and these nine hundred ninety-nine young girls would have been sacrificed, becoming offerings for the Demon Humans," Fang Yanshan said, filled with gratitude towards Yun Yi.

"Yes, Young Master Yun is a talented young hero, achieving such feats at a young age and bringing us an incredible miracle that we could hardly imagine. He has brought unprecedented good news to Jade Wheel City, clearing the sky above us. We, Jade Wheel City, will never forget the great kindness and virtue of Young Master Yun," Guo Haifeng clasped his hands and said, as he was a straightforward person who spoke his mind.

"Alright, enough talking. I can see that Young Master Yun has been shaken quite a bit from today’s battle. Let’s let Young Master Yun go home and rest for a while," Hong Liang noticed Yun Yi’s tiredness and quickly spoke up.

Yun Yi nodded and did not refuse Hong Liang’s kindness; he truly needed some quiet time to recover before heading back early tomorrow.

At that moment, Hu Quan walked over with a girl. The girl looked about eleven or twelve years old, thin, wearing a thin blue long robe. She had a face like a porcelain doll, and her big, watery eyes seemed to speak.

The girl’s beautiful face was flawless, perfect in every way. Although she was still young, she was already like a budding beauty. If she grew up, she would surely be on the same level as Xiao Ruoshui, causing trouble wherever she went.

But what puzzled Yun Yi was that the girl was already twelve years old and still hadn’t opened her spirit. At this age, not being able to open her spirit seemed almost hopeless.

"Little Yao, aren’t you going to kneel for your benefactor?" Hu Quan said.

"Hmm."

Little Yao nodded and quickly knelt down, but Yun Yi was quick and helped her up before she could kneel.

"Brother Hu, that’s not necessary. I see Little Yao seems to have been quite scared; it’s better for her to go back and rest well," Yun Yi said.

"Brother Yun, I can’t thank you enough. The kindness you have shown to both me and my granddaughter is greater than the sky. I fear I will never be able to repay it in this life. If you ever need anything, I, Hu Quan, will go through fire and water without hesitation," Hu Quan said to Yun Yi with a deep bow, his tone very serious and sincere.

"It was just a small effort. Brother Hu, you don’t need to take it too much to heart," Yun Yi said.

While he was talking to Hu Quan, he didn’t notice that Black Wind, who had originally looked dull, suddenly brightened up. His eyes went back and forth on Little Yao, and his brows kept furrowing, as if he had spotted something.

Little Yao noticed Black Wind’s gaze and looked back with her big, dark eyes. She smiled and said, "What a cute little kitten!"

Splash!

Black Wind stumbled and fell with a thud from Yun Yi’s shoulder, landing on the ground.

"Cat Lord is so mad! Little one, you must not call Cat Lord cute. Cat Lord is mighty and powerful, handsome and unmatched, the greatest cat king! How dare you use ‘cute’ and ‘little’ to describe me! Do you believe I will eat you?"

Black Wind got up from the ground and bared his teeth at Little Yao.

"Giggle…"

However, Little Yao completely ignored the fierce-looking Black Wind and started to giggle.

Seeing that his scary look didn’t work, Black Wind couldn’t help but roll his eyes, almost spitting out a mouthful of old blood.

Ha ha…

Seeing this, Yun Yi couldn’t help but laugh and laugh. This outrageous cat, who would have thought it would be defeated today by a little girl? It truly made one feel satisfied.

"Little Yao, stop being silly."

Hu Quan quickly scolded. Little Yao, with her innocent heart, just found it fun, but Hu Quan knew this cat was something else.

Afterwards, under Hong’s loud guidance, Yun Yi and Hu Quan both entered the Hong family home for a short rest.

In a quiet guest house, Yun Yi and Black Wind closed their eyes to relax.

"Black Wind, take a good rest. Tomorrow morning, we will leave."

Yun Yi said.

"Okay."

Black Wind nodded, lay down on the table, and quickly fell into a deep sleep. His carefree posture was enviable.

Yun Yi quickly entered a state of meditation. This was the Hong family’s important place. Now that the City Master’s mansion had fallen, in Jade Wheel City, no one would dare to disturb the Hong family, so Yun Yi was not worried about being interrupted at all.

However, just then, a dark figure quietly entered the courtyard like a ghost.

The person in black had their face covered with a dark cloth, but from their sharp eyes, it was clear that they were a young person, surely not very old.

But the visitor’s skills were not weak; they had already reached the eighth grade of the Innate Realm. They had a slight aura of wind around them and moved without a sound, quick and seemingly possessing the rare Wind Spirit Body.

Such a young expert at the eighth grade of the Innate Realm could not possibly appear in Jade Wheel City.

After entering, the person in black fixed their gaze on Yun Yi, and their cold eyes revealed a clear intent to kill.

"Pan Hong really disappoints me. He couldn’t kill this kid, so I have to take matters into my own hands. After I deal with this person, I need to go back and ask Yuan Yin for some rewards."

The person in black thought to themselves. They had just arrived here a little while ago. When they reached the back mountain, the battle was already over. Seeing that Yun Yi was unharmed, with no injuries at all, they felt incredibly disappointed. They were here on someone else’s request and promised a lot of rewards, thinking they would just check on the result of Yun Yi’s death. They never expected Yun Yi to be so brave and actually defeat Pan Hong.

Now, they had to take action themselves to take care of Yun Yi. After dealing with Yun Yi, they would go back and ask Yuan Yin for more rewards.

The man in black flipped his hand, revealing a silver needle. Under the moonlight, the needle glimmered with a cold light.
