In the room.
Lan Yu looked at Lin Qianyin, whose head was lowered without a word. She couldn't help but sigh and say, ”Qianyin, are you really not planning to say it?”
Lin Qianyin looked conflicted. After thinking for a long time, she lifted her head and looked at Lanyu, saying, ”Is there any use in me saying this?”
”Happiness is earned by yourself.” Lanyu said.
”Can I win it?” Lin Qianyin asked.
Lanyu shook her head.
With Lin Qianyin's personality, she would choose to accept a lot of things.
”Lanyu, the truth is that I really want to leave and leave the Lin Family, but there are some things that I cannot control. The Qi Family's eldest young master, Qi Tian, is a fool, do you think I want to marry someone like him? Furthermore, the purpose of the Qi Family and my Lin Family's marriage is not for me, but for my Lin Family's Seven Stars Unique Beast Flame. Legend has it that this kind of beast fire can cure idiocy, the Qi Family's power is great, and with the royal family's support, my Lin Family has no choice but to agree to this marriage … So, I became a sacrifice. ”
A single tear fell from the corner of Lin Qianyin's eye as she sobbed quietly.
The Seven Star Solitary Beast Flame was a very unique type of beast fire produced from the body of a Class 3 Magical Beast, the Seven Star Solitary Flame Beast. The characteristics of this beast fire wasn't like what Lin Qianyin had said, it wasn't able to cure any so-called idiocy.
The special flame of the beast fire was extremely tyrannical and could not be controlled by ordinary people. Once subdued, it would undoubtedly greatly increase one's fighting strength.
And what caused Lanyu to be shocked was that a Class 3 Magical Beast was the equivalent of a human Martial King! Could it be that the Lin Family had killed a Seven Star Single Fire Beast and obtained its Beast Flame?
Lan Yu was silent for a moment, and then said, ”The Seven Star Solitary Beast Flame cannot cure any sort of idiocy. I'm afraid your Lin Family has been deceived by the Qi Family.”
She was clearer than anyone else about the Qi Family's goal: ”The Qi Family's head, Qi Tailong, has the potential to break through to the Martial King realm, and with his average aptitude, if he wants to use external forces to break through, he has the intention of taking the Seven Star Single Beast Flame of the Lin Family.”
Lanyu scoffed.
Using the beast fire to raise one's cultivation was not non-existent, but it was still extremely dangerous. He might even be burnt to ashes by the beast fire. Qi Tailong must have already reached the end of his life, otherwise he wouldn't have taken the risk.
Lin Qianyin stayed in the room for a while longer and then bid Lan Yu farewell. There was nothing she could do for her.
After Lin Qianyin left, Lan Yu took out the medicinal herbs and pill furnaces he bought from the medicine store, and began to refine the Origin Strengthening Pill.
In the middle of the night, 50 Energy Strengthening Pills appeared. Lanyu put away the furnace and sat down to cultivate. The surrounding spiritual energy was sucked into the Mystic Spirit Fire Jade to replenish the spiritual energy he consumed while refining the pills.
At this moment, eight figures were approaching the inn quietly, and then entering the inn, their movements were light like a ghost. Outside of the inn, eight figures were approaching quietly, and then entering the inn, and their movements were light like a ghost.
”Room two on the third floor, don't alert him. Let's end this quickly.” The leader of the group said in a low voice. Then, everyone headed for the stairs, their killing intent locked onto room two on the third floor.
Moments later, all eight of them appeared outside room two on the third floor without a single sound. It was clear that they were all quite strong.
”Phew, kacha!”
The sound of arrows being drawn could be heard. All the crossbows were pointed at the door, and the arrows were extremely cold.
”Fire!”
”Whoosh!” Swoosh! ”Swish!”
The string vibrated, and a tremendous force broke through the door. Soon after, a shattering sound could be heard from inside the room.
”Kill!” The leader bellowed and kicked the door open.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The eight drew their blades as a form of defense.
There was no one in the room. The wooden bed had been turned into a hornet's nest by the arrows, and wood shavings were scattered all over the floor. There seemed to be no one on the bed either.
”No one?”
The leader was a bit surprised. He waved his hand and two figures entered the room. They held their sabers in a defensive posture and their eyes were alert.
”Triple Slash!”
An icy cold shout suddenly sounded out. The biting cold saber Qi set off a violent wave of Qi. Accompanied by the sound of exploding, there were two miserable shrieks. Two heads rolled in the air as two streams of blood spurted out.
When these killers had just entered the inn, Lanyu had already noticed. Lin Qianyin had warned him, but even if she hadn't, she knew that tonight would definitely not be a peaceful night.
As a result, he hid himself next to the door. That was a blind spot, so the other party would definitely not notice it before entering the door.
And as the first arrow shot through the vibrating air, Lan Yu had thought to himself that it was a good thing he had hidden himself. Otherwise, even if he didn't die he would still have been severely wounded.
At the same time that he was lucky, Lan Yu's killing intent roiled in his heart. He knew that these people were from the Qi Family, and they were definitely sent by Qi Kai.
”Phantom Tornado Cut!”
Lanyu moved again. Layers upon layers of saber shadows enveloped the remaining six. The aura of death intertwined with the thick blood, swallowing up those six people.
Clang!
