Chapter 105 - Returning to the Imperial Capital

“That woman from High Heaven Pavilion is quite powerful. It’s best if you stay back. I’ll fight her.” Chao Bai emphasized again, telling Kong Rui not to tough it out.

Although Kong Rui wanted to refuse, she knew that Chao Bai was telling the truth.

Kong Rui nodded. “Call me when you need me.”

Chao Bai agreed and slowly moved forward in the crowd.

Kong Rui also walked to the side of the crowd. This place was closer to the door of Fragrant Garden.

The child had clearly been hung up for an entire day and had already fainted.

Chao Bai sent some spiritual energy over to test the boy. He realized that although the boy’s breathing was weak, he was still alive. However, the rope that bound him made Chao Bai frown.

This rope was the Dragon Binding Rope used by High Heaven Pavilion to subdue disobedient disciples. It was said that this rope was refined by Vajra. Knives couldn’t cut through it, and swords couldn’t pierce through it either. Unless the owner of the rope took the initiative to chant an incantation, there was no way to break it!

With such a rope, even if the boy was saved, they wouldn’t be able to untie him.

Moreover, as long as the owner of the rope chanted an incantation, they could easily find him or even strangle him to death!

In this situation, Chao Bai decided that it was better to discuss it with Kong Rui.

He looked in Kong Rui’s direction and saw that she was looking upwards. Her eyes seemed to be fixed on the high platform and she was thinking about something.

Chao Bai followed Kong Rui’s gaze and saw a round beast head hanging on it. It seemed to be the head of a leopard.

Chao Bai didn’t know why Kong Rui’s gaze was so terrifying, but his intuition told him that Kong Rui knew this leopard!

He approached Kong Rui and asked in a low voice, “What’s wrong?”

Kong Rui narrowed her eyes and lowered her voice. “Lei Aotian’s intrinsic spirit beast, the Lightning Leopard.”

Chao Bai didn’t know who Lei Aotian was, nor did he know who this Lightning Leopard was. However, from Kong Rui’s expression, something unexpected seemed to have happened.

“His intrinsic spirit beast was beheaded. Then his master…” Chao Bai paused.

“He’s dead,” Kong Rui said calmly.

She didn’t have much of a relationship with Lei Aotian, but she was still a little surprised to see the Lightning Leopard’s head.

Back then, she had indeed injured the Lightning Leopard severely, but it wasn’t to the extent that it was beheaded.

Moreover, with the Lei family’s strength, it wasn’t difficult for the Lightning Leopard to quickly recover its strength.

It seemed that someone had attacked the Lei family!

As Kong Rui was thinking, she suddenly saw Zi Xuan walk out of Fragrant Garden.

Her body was leaning against a man, but this man wasn’t the young man from yesterday.

Everyone in the Imperial Capital seemed unfazed by the fact that there was a different man beside Zi Xuan every day.

As for where the “abandoned” men were now, they had never cared.

Zi Xuan looked at the crowd in front of her in satisfaction and smiled. “There are still so many people today!”

“Do you all want to see how I kill this remnant of the Demon Clan?” Zi Xuan covered her mouth as she chuckled. “I thought you ignorant people only cared about your own trivial matters!”

As she spoke, Zi Xuan revealed a disdainful gaze. “I didn’t expect you all to gather here for a Demon Clan remnant.”

Hearing Zi Xuan’s mockery, some people in the crowd were dissatisfied, but no one dared to resist.

After a while, a young man stood up and asked Zi Xuan, “How can you be sure that this is a remnant of the Demon Clan?”

“Yes! What if you end up killing an innocent person?”

“I think he’s just a child. There might be a mistake!”

The others echoed this sentiment.
