Disbelief and horror pervaded those guards' eyes.
Under Yun Wu's gaze, a guard hurriedly turned around, stumbled and rushed inside the mansion. He was so stiff that he moved like a machine.
All those lookers-on who had been watching were standing transfixed with shock. Then they subconsciously backed off, 'Who's this teenage girl exactly? She's way too tough.'
Even the Soul Chain Technique had failed to restrict her, then...
”Loo – Look at Young Mistress Murong... ”
”Why isn't she moving?”
”... ”
Hearing the astonished exclamation and whispering of those lookers-on, Steward Feng stood up with the assistance of guards and hastily cast a look in Luo Shanshan's direction.
Horror!
Utmost horror surged through him, 'Her soul is chained?'
'How's this possible? The Young Mistress was the one who performed the Soul Chain Technique. How come she became the one whose soul is chained?'
At this very moment.
”Who's making all this noise in front of my house?” a rather cold male voice came from the other side of the vermilion-lacquered gate.
Before long, a tall, straight figure slowly walked out. Dressed in a luxurious brocade robe and with piercing eyes, that man had an air of nobility and cold arrogance about him.
In his early thirties, he didn't count as a very handsome man but was somewhat well-featured.
After that man walked out of the mansion, those guards picked themselves up in a rather awkward manner. Together with Steward Feng, they respectfully bowed to and greeted that man, ”Young Master!”
Thousand Murong's eyes swept across them. The guard had already informed him of the situation outside the mansion in a flustered way, but when he caught sight of those cracks on the ground and the embarrassed look of Steward Feng as well as those guards, a look of coldness flashed across the bottom of his piercing eyes.
”What's this all about?” a somewhat sepulchral voice was heard.
And then Thousand Murong's eyes flashed in the direction of Yun Wu who was dressed in gunny clothes. Suddenly, he was stunned. Seeing her beauty, he was fairly amazed, but the amazement in his eyes soon disappeared.
Her apathetic purple eyes seemed bland and plain, but actually they were extremely dangerous.
In addition, there was a barely detectable killing aura about her.
'She was the mysterious teenage girl whom the elder brother-in-law mentioned to me, and who's capable of performing Soul Chain Technique?'
His suspicion was verified when he saw Luo Shanshan whose eyes were vacant and wooden.
”Little girl, may I ask why did you come here and make such a scene in front of the Murong Mansion after killing my elder brother?” Thousand Murong's voice was fairly cold, but he sounded rather polite.
But in the twinkling of an eye, he winked at the guards behind him and signaled them to bring Luo Shanshan in.
Yun Wu didn't try to stop him.
Gently stroking the handle of the whip with her white fingertips, she said in a bland voice, ”Hand over the people I want. Otherwise, I'll do exactly what I've just said I would do.”
'What did she say she would do?'
Right at the moment when Thousand Murong frowned, Steward Feng, who had retreated to the gate with the assistance of guards, whispered something into Thousand Murong's ears.
Instantly, Thousand Murong's face darkened.
”Little girl, you want to inflict a bloodbath on our Murong Mansion? Don't you think those words were a little too big for you?”
”Is that so?” Yun Wu coldly curved her lips. However, at this moment, she flipped that empty hand of hers and a flame popped out of her palm under the gaze of all people present.
Those lookers-on abruptly widened their eyes.
A flame?
A tangible flame? How was it possible?
Though warriors were capable of using elemental power, but it was impossible for them to manipulate real flame. Only summoners that had disappeared hundreds of years ago were capable of controlling tangible element.
Was this teenage girl by any chance a summoner...
This thought also flashed through Thousand Murong's mind, but he soon excluded this possibility.
If this teenage girl was a summoner, by no means would he have heard nothing. He knew what the existence of a summoner meant.
”Little girl, I don't know how you learned to control flame, but if this is all you're capable of, then wasn't it too unreasonable of you to threaten to inflict a bloodbath on Murong Mansion?”
It was not until those lookers-on heard his remarks that they stopped speculating.
Yet Yun Wu apathetically raise her eyes, flipped the other palm, out of which another flame popped, and clasped her hands.
With a wave of her hand, the contours of a fire dragon appeared out of thin air, giving off a potent Qi. Its strength was actually the same as that of a Tier IX peak-stage magic beast.
”Roar–”
A deafening dragon roar, along with scorching heat, arose in the air.
In the blink of an eye, before anybody could react, that fire dragon soared above the Murong Mansion, opened its mouth and soon waves of furious fire were erupted downwards.
In the blink of an eye, patches of houses were aflame and the fire quickly started spreading.
”Fire... ”
People's yelling to the accompaniment of the sounds of beating drums and gongs instantly came from inside the mansion.
A lot of guards and servants rushed over to help put out the fire, but when they saw the fire dragon coiling above the mansion, they all buckled at their knees.
What was that?
