But the situation was urgent, and Yun Sheng had no time to inform Yuan Bupo. She looked up and saw that the team from Dihong City had been scattered by a magic attack, and under the cover of Little Red and Blue, Yuan Bupo had also flown to a safe altitude. However, by the look on his face, he was very anxious, searching around, obviously looking for Yun Sheng’s whereabouts. Yun Sheng did not make a sound, worried that she might alert the group of mages on the ground. Those mages were quite powerful, befitting of the magical nation of Tangyuan. When Yun Sheng had descended, she noticed that the mages’ attacks were multifarious, including Fire Element and Wind Element natural attribute magic, as well as side-branched Thunder Element attacks. These people, their methods were vicious. Right from the start, they used intermediate and higher level magic; it was clear they aimed to put them to death. In Tangyuan Country, when had she ever made such enemies? Yun Sheng reflected that she had not traveled much across the continent, and the only real archenemy could probably be the Medicine Emperor Pavilion... Tangyuan... Yun Sheng recalled something and took out a waist card from her body. Could it be because of the enmity over the Purple Gold Vein with Tang Yuan and Li Shao? Last time’s Demon Beast Amniotic Fluid seemed to have come from Tangyuan Country. Xuan Wuji died, Li Shao’s schemes were exposed, and without finding the Purple Gold Mine, someone must have told Li Shao about the affair with the Purple Gold. Humph, what a Li Shao; I haven’t even settled accounts with you, yet you have come knocking at my door. If that’s the case, don’t blame me for being impolite. Yun Sheng coldly glanced at the mages ambushed ahead. Tʜe source of this ᴄontent ɪs 𝗇𝗈𝗏𝖾𝗅•𝖿𝗂𝗋𝖾•𝗇𝖾𝗍 Last time, Ye Beiming played the role of the Huang Que, killing over a hundred mages from Li Shao’s refinery in one strike. It seems the lesson from that time was not enough for Li Shao. Shouldn’t she, too, reciprocate the favor and teach him a lesson? The sky’s ambush was almost over, and Yun Sheng, along with Rich Man Gold, approached the group of mages like phantoms. Compared to Ye Beiming, who wiped out fifty mages in one breath, what she was doing must still be considered merciful, right? Yes, indeed too merciful. A ruthless glint flashed in Yun Sheng’s eyes. She quietly used Earth Escape and approached the group of mages. "Are they all dead?" dozens of Tangyuan mages asked as they looked at the now calmed skies. "The people of Dihong City are just so weak, easily crushed. The Second Prince will surely be very pleased," a mage said proudly, having successfully annihilated the enemy so thoroughly. After making sure there were no survivors at the scene, the Tangyuan mages relaxed, some in groups of three or two, and the greedier ones even pilfered valuables from the dead bodies or cut open Chongming Birds’ bellies, harvesting soul stones and Demon Beast Meat. The people of Dihong City were not to be trifled with; the Second Prince had said that the scene must be cleaned up to look as if nothing had happened at all. The mages released Fire Magic to incinerate the corpses left on the ground, destroying the evidence. A mage was slicing open the chest of a Chongming Bird, digging out a soul stone from inside. Chongming Birds were a special Demon Beast of Dihong City, and their soul stones fetched a good price on the market. That mage was digging energetically when someone behind him asked a question. "Speaking of which, how was the travel route of the people from Dihong City discovered this time when it was so secretive?" The Mage didn’t turn his head. "It’s these people’s bad luck. They offended Madam Bi in Dihong City, and she told us the entire route. Prince Li Shao not only prepared one group of people, but he also laid men in ambush on two other routes they had to take. Even if they escaped this time, they wouldn’t have been able to escape the next time." "Oh? Prince Li Shao, you say?" A casual tone came from behind, making the Mage stop his movements. He turned around alertly, but it was already too late. On the ground, a fireball instantly engulfed his body. Yun Sheng and Rich Man Gold stood in the night. Second Prince Li Shao and Madam Bi? Yun Sheng lazily opened his mouth: "Rich Man Gold, kill the remaining people, and remember, return to them what they have given to others." Yuan Bupo couldn’t find Yun Sheng’s whereabouts and he alone couldn’t battle against dozens of Mages. Left with no choice, he took Xuan Meimei and hid away first. Before dawn, in the outskirts of Biantang, as the morning light descended, the greenery on the hill was still lush, and round dewdrops rolled down from the leaves. Rich Man Gold was swift, having cleared out all fifty Mages. Yun Sheng unceremoniously took all the valuables he got his hands on. "It seems we need to head into Biantang City, the Capital of Tangyuan, to find Yuan Bupo and Xuan Meimei first," Yun Sheng had planned to go directly to Xianju, but his plans were disrupted by Li Shao. Yun Sheng and Rich Man Gold, disguised as Mages, headed towards Biantang. No sooner had they left than Yuan Bupo arrived from another direction with Xuan Meimei. Dark circles were forming under Yuan Bupo’s eyes as he searched the hillside. Not finding Yun Sheng’s corpse, he breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, his heart sank because he noticed that the corpses of the brothers from Dihong City were also gone. It was as if the place had been cleaned up overnight. Or could it be that Yun Sheng had already... Yuan Bupo didn’t dare to continue the thought. Xuan Meimei looked on, her lips curled and said, "Brother Bu Po, stop searching. We haven’t had a drop to drink from last night till now. Why don’t we go into Biantang and send the news back to Dihong City?" Yuan Bupo nodded, perhaps he could gather some information in Biantang City. Inside Biantang City, Second Prince Li Shao had just gotten up, and one of his concubines was helping him to dress. "Have the people from last night come back?" If the route provided by Madam Bi was correct, or if the people from Dihong City followed the original route, they should all be wiped out by now. Anyone who hindered his, Tang Yuan and Li Shao’s plans, shall not live a good life. "Second Prince, everyone has yet to return. I fear they are still cleaning up the site," reported the personal Guard Commander of Li Shao. "Once they return, have them come to see me immediately," Li Shao was very confident in his group of Mages. But to Li Shao’s surprise, as noon approached, his Mages had still not returned. Li Shao became a bit unsettled. "What? Not a single one has returned?" A shadow crossed Li Shao’s graceful face. Fifty Mages, not a single word from them since last night. "Second Prince, I have sent people to check the area, but we found no trace at all," said the Guard Commander, his complexion not looking good either. But when they reached the outskirts, having almost dug three feet into the ground, they found no one, not even a piece of clothing from those people was found, let alone any Mages. And this occurred close to Biantang; it was a bit too strange.
