When Lin Xiao heard these four words, his face instantly sank.
Before Wei Yanran could continue to speak, Lin Xiao's figure turned into a strong wind and disappeared from the spot.
"Lin Xiao, what are you going to do?" Wei Yanran called out urgently, but she couldn't hear Lin Xiao's answer, and couldn't even find her trace.
"Leave me alone again!" Wei Yanran gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, feeling very unhappy.
However, she did not pursue him blindly, but stood quietly, waiting for Lin Xiao to come back.
Not long after, Lin Xiao came back, his face not only gloomy, but also filled with an icy chill.
"What happened?" Wei Yanran asked. It was the first time she saw Lin Xiao's expression like this, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart without any warning.
"Are you sure those three people are from Jiangxing Academy?" Lin Xiao asked back.
Wei Yanran thought for a while, then finally nodded and said, "I have been to the Imperial City before, and I was deeply impressed by the students serving at Jiangxing Academy. I should remember it correctly."
"Lin Xiao, what happened?" Wei Yanran asked quickly after answering.
"A beast tide did occur in the Tianyao Mountains. However, the beast tide was not natural, but man-made. The initiator was someone from Jiangxing Academy." Lin Xiao lowered his voice and spoke clearly every word.
"Human?!" Wei Yanran looked shocked.
The beast tide is a disaster, in which countless people will die and countless families will be destroyed.
If it was really man-made, it would be a heinous crime!
"Why do those Jiangxing students do this? What good does it do to them?" Wei Yanran asked repeatedly, unable to accept it for a while.
"I don't know." Lin Xiao shook his head, his eyes became as sharp as swords, and his voice was low: "What is certain now is that the people from Jiangxing Academy have arrived in Qingyang City, and they have some kind of
Purpose!"
Lin Xiao thought of Xiao Xingkong at this time.
If people from Jiangxing Academy come to Qingyang City, as a native of Qingyang City, Xiao Xingkong will most likely accompany them and return to Qingyang City in advance.
"hateful!"
At this time, even Lin Xiao felt depressed.
A long time ago, he prepared many plans to deal with Xiao Xingkong and Jiangxing Academy. Every step was carefully thought out and perfect.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Xingkong actually returned to Qingyang City early and brought a large number of general students with him.
Such changes completely disrupted Lin Xiao's plan and left him passive!
"Lin Xiao, what should we do now?" Wei Yanran was completely confused and at a loss.
"Go back to Qingyang City." Lin Xiao quickly calmed down, and the sharp aura exuding from his body made Wei Yanran calmer and nodded in agreement.
Although the sun was setting in the west and night would fall soon, Lin Xiao and Wei Yanran had no intention of stopping. They increased their speed to the extreme and ran towards Qingyang City at full speed.
Along the way, they watched with their own eyes the terrifying tide of beasts condensed into shape. Many adventurers with lower cultivation levels, who were slightly slower, were directly submerged by the tide of beasts, leaving no intact corpses.
Lin Xiao and Wei Yanran could only ignore this.
The scale of the beast tide is too great. Just relying on the two of them, they can't do anything at all. They may even be sucked into the beast tide, making it difficult to escape.
The top priority is that they must rush back to Qingyang City to pass on the news of the beast riot and let Wei Feng prepare defensive fortifications in advance.
Run wildly, run wildly.
The two of them didn't rest, let alone stop. They were like two meteors, rushing through the Tianyao Mountains.
Finally, as the night gradually dissipated, the two of them saw the tall city gate of Qingyang City, and a ray of morning light fell on their faces, showing exhaustion on their faces.
Just when they were about to enter Qingyang City, they saw smoke and dust rising everywhere in the city, and an elite cavalry appeared there, silently guarding Qingyang City.
"Qingyang Guard, could it be that the Lord of the City Guard has gotten the news?" Lin Xiao thought to himself.
He and Wei Yanran looked at each other, and both of them moved at the same time and stepped into Qingyang City.
Soon, a Qingyang guard spotted Wei Yanran and said: "Miss, you are finally back!"
"What happened?" Wei Yanran asked.
"A beast wave has broken out in the Tianyao Mountains. We are setting up defenses. The city lord originally wanted to enter the Tianyao Mountains in person to find you." The man replied respectfully.
"It turns out that father already knows." Wei Yanran frowned and asked again: "Where are the others?"
"Yanran!"
At this time, a powerful voice came over.
Not far ahead, rows of Qingyang Guards soldiers dispersed, and Wei Feng appeared at the end. He walked quickly and landed directly in front of Wei Yanran and Lin Xiao.
"Yanran, are you okay?" Wei Feng looked at Wei Yanran up and down, looking particularly worried.
At this moment, he was wearing a set of dark-colored heavy armor and carrying a long halberd on his back, showing off his air of a man who had lived in the world for a long time.
"I'm fine. Thanks to Lin Xiao along the way, I can return to Qingyang City safely." Wei Yanran shook her head quickly.
Wei Feng looked at Lin Xiao, clasped his hands tightly and said, "Lin Xiao, thank you for taking care of Yanran. I will keep this kindness in my heart."
Lin Xiao already had a good impression of Wei Feng, and after hearing these words, he admired him even more.
This person is in a high position, but he cares about the safety of his people in his heart. His temperament is bold and forthright, and he does not stick to trivial matters.
Such a person can be said to be extremely rare.
"The words of the Lord of the City Guard are strong." Lin Xiao also clasped his fists in return, then changed his tone and asked: "The Lord of the City Guard, I have a few things to ask you."
"I know what you want to ask." Wei Feng's eyes flashed with strange light, and his expression became extremely solemn.
He pondered for a while and then said: "Yesterday, Xiao Xingkong returned to Qingyang City ahead of schedule, and many people from Jiangxing Academy accompanied him."
really!
Lin Xiao clenched his fist tightly.
In this way, if he wants to take action against Xiao Xingkong and Yuan Wutang, the situation will become much more complicated and difficult.
"Lin Xiao, I know what you are thinking, but this time, the situation is far more complicated than you think."
Wei Feng stared at Lin Xiao, his voice trembling, and said: "Not only are there many people from Jiangxing Academy who came to Qingyang City this time, but there are also two big shots."
"oh?"
Lin Xiao narrowed his eyes, feeling a deep sense of powerlessness from Wei Feng's words.
Obviously, the person who came here has an extraordinary status, enough to crush Wei Feng, the lord of Qingyang City.
"Come with me, and we will go to Qingyang Tower together." Wei Feng sighed, waved his hand, and summoned two sweaty horses.
"Those two big shots are at Qingyang Tower at the moment. They have summoned all the power leaders in Qingyang City to discuss important matters."
When Wei Feng said this, he turned to look at Lin Xiao and said in a deep voice: "As far as I know, Pavilion Master Lin is also there. At this moment, he should have arrived at Qingyang Tower."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiao jumped up and landed directly on the horse, looking towards Qingyang Tower in the distance.
He wanted to see what the two so-called big shots were trying to do!
