Chapter 422: Go Back Home

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

“No problem!” Evelyn shook her head.

A few minutes later, while they were talking, a servant came back with two cups of milk tea.

“This milk tea is very delicious; you should try it.”

“Thank you!”

Evelyn took the milk tea and took a sip.

But after just one sip, her brows furrowed.

“What’s wrong? Does it taste bad?”

“No.”

Evelyn shook her head.

After she drank the milk tea, she felt a special energy enter her body.

This energy made her feel slightly drowsy.

Fortunately, as her true essence circulated, she was able to expel this energy immediately.

However, at that moment, Evelyn became a bit cautious.

She felt that this cup of milk tea was not simple; it contained something capable of making a person drowsy, and even she, a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, had a slight reaction to it.

Didn’t this mean that an ordinary person would fall into a deep sleep?

Yet, Evelyn wasn’t entirely sure.

So, she decided to play along and test it out.

Soon, Evelyn finished the whole cup of milk tea.

After a few seconds,

“Oh no! My head is spinning.”

Evelyn pretended to look dizzy.

Seeing this, Hislop was overjoyed and hurried over to support her.

Evelyn frowned, “What are you doing?”

“I saw you were dizzy, so of course, I’ll help you!” Hislop said with a smile.

“Am I dizzy because you drugged me?” Evelyn asked.

“Exactly! Next, we will have a perfect night; just enjoy yourself!” Hislop grinned wickedly.

Smack!

A slap landed firmly on Hislop’s face.

At that moment, Evelyn stopped pretending.

“You, you’re not dizzy?”

Hislop staggered back from Evelyn’s slap, his face filled with disbelief.

Along with his disbelief came the humiliation of being slapped.

“Are you disappointed that I’m not dizzy?” Evelyn said lightly.

“Since you’re not dizzy, I can’t help but use force against you,” Hislop’s face turned cold.

In the next moment, he cast a binding spell at Evelyn.

Seeing the magic, Evelyn did not hesitate at all.

In an instant, a long sword appeared out of thin air, accompanied by sword energy that stretched for three yards, and it swiftly slashed toward Hislop.

Whoosh!

In the next moment, Hislop’s body was sliced in half by the powerful sword energy.

After cutting Hislop’s body in two, the sword energy continued its momentum and left a huge gash in the entire house.

“What? Is he that weak?”

“Am I that powerful?”

Evelyn was stunned.

She didn’t expect to eliminate Hislop with just one strike.

She had thought that since she hadn’t used all her strength, he would be able to withstand one of her attacks.

But she hadn’t anticipated such a result.

Evelyn did not take into account that she was already a powerhouse at the Nascent Soul stage, with combat power equivalent to a fifth-stage great magician.

While Hislop was merely a second-stage junior magician.

“Ah~”

A scream suddenly erupted.

It turned out to be the servants of the manor who had heard the commotion and come to check. They found Hislop, the manor owner, cut in half by Evelyn.

Overwhelmed by fear, they let out intense screams.

“Ugh~”

After regaining her composure, Evelyn, seeing such a gruesome sight for the first time, turned away and bent down, gagging.

Meanwhile, several servants quickly snapped back to reality and hurriedly fled the scene.

They feared that Evelyn would eliminate them all as well.

At the same time, a servant rushed to a crystal ball and rapidly activated it.

“Master Hislop has been killed in the manor! Hurry, someone come…”

……

On the other side, after gagging for a moment, Evelyn realized that she had taken a life.

So without hesitation, she quickly ran toward the manor’s exit.

As she was running out, a figure shot toward her rapidly from the direction of the town.

The newcomer was a middle-aged man from the Elf Tribe.

As he flew over the manor, he caught sight of Evelyn quickly leaving.

“Stop!” the middle-aged elf shouted at Evelyn.

In the next moment, he blocked her path.

“Sir, it’s her! She killed the young master!”

At this moment, a servant from the manor hurriedly shouted.

Hearing this, the middle-aged elf’s expression darkened, and his gaze toward Evelyn filled with killing intent.

Feeling the powerful pressure, Evelyn’s expression also turned cold.

She felt no regret for killing Hislop.

Her master had told her that if someone dared to harm her, she should show no mercy, for her master would bear all the consequences.

Even if it meant killing the empire’s emperor, her master could easily handle it.

So Evelyn understood her identity and status and was not afraid of anyone.

From the man before her, Evelyn sensed pressure even stronger than that of the Nascent Soul stage.

This meant that the man was at least a fifth-stage great magician.

“Is it you who killed my son? You will die!”

Without hesitation, the middle-aged elf attacked Evelyn after hearing the servant’s words.

Seeing this, Evelyn immediately countered with her attack.

Heaven-Slashing Sword Control Technique.

Whoosh! The flying sword, imbued with ten yards of Qi Training, shot toward the middle-aged elf.

On the other side, the middle-aged elf instantly cast a wind magic spell to collide with the flying sword.

The result was that the speed of the flying sword slowed momentarily, while the wind magic spell dispersed effortlessly.

Seeing this, the middle-aged elf’s eyes revealed an expression of disbelief.

In the next moment, he quickly cast more magic.

Numerous wind blades rushed toward Evelyn’s flying sword like a dense wave.

The middle-aged elf’s instant magic was quick, but Evelyn’s Sword Control Technique was even more powerful.

For a moment, both sides reached a stalemate.

Noticing this, the middle-aged elf’s expression grew serious.

Though instant magic was fast, it consumed a significant amount of magical energy.

If he couldn’t end the battle in ten minutes, he would exhaust his magic and be killed.

In such a situation, the middle-aged elf took out a palm-sized crystal and crushed it.

In the next moment, a rainbow of light shot up into the sky.

This was the Layton family’s magical distress signal, the highest-grade signal.

“Who dares to harm my Layton family?”

In the next moment, a commanding voice echoed.

Instantly, a powerful surge of spiritual power swept through the area.

This spiritual power reached the level of a great magic tutor.

In the cultivation world, this was equivalent to a Great Ascension stage cultivator.

Such a powerhouse was top-tier combat strength even among the Elf Tribe.

With this strength, they could easily control thousands of star systems in the cosmos.

As the spiritual power swept out, a figure flew out from a mansion in the city, quickly heading toward the manor.

“Get back!”

Just as the newcomer took to the air, within ten seconds, an even stronger pressure surged forth, followed by a magical hand sweeping across.
