Chapter 239

The Region Master stared at Duanmu Xi going afar, his face turning dark. He turned around to look at the two women on the ground, his dark eyes full of killing intent. These two stupid women dared to hurt Duanmu Xi and disgraced him in front of her. They deserved to die.

The Region Master directly struck a palm to crush Lan Gui who was already at her last gasp. Lan Gui had turned into ashes before she could close her eyes.

Shocked by the sudden scene, Bai Lian rose from the ground. Looking at the Region Master’s murderous eyes, Bai Lian couldn’t help trembling, “Region… Region Master…”

The Region Master paid no heed to Bai Lian’s fear and directly seized her by the throat, saying through gritted teeth, “How dare you hurt my beloved woman!”

Hearing that, Bai Lian felt a lot less frightened and cracked a bitter smile, “She’s your beloved woman. What about me?”

The Region Master’s dark eyes glistened with disdain, “You? Who are you? You’re merely a disposable woman.”

Bai Lian closed her eyes in pain, “Do you really regard me as that woman’s substitute?”

The Region Master snorted, “How can you deserve to be her substitute? In my eyes, you can’t even compare with her hair.”

Hearing the Region Master’s hurtful words, Bai Lian looked up at the sky and laughed. Her sad smile made her blood-stained face more hideous. She couldn’t even compare herself with Duanmu Xi’s hair. How hurtful! This was the man she had been in deep love with. How foolish of her!

Bai Lian perished her smile and looked at the Region Master. A glimmer of disdain flashed across her eyes. She said word by word, “You have no right to kill me.” Bai Lian directly broke free from the restraint of the Region Master and sucked the soft sword into her hand. Then, she put the sword on her neck and slit her neck without hesitation.

With a clang, Bai Lian fell backward and closed her eyes slowly. She wished to have a pair of good eyes in the afterlife if it was possible.

Ya’er caught up with Duanmu Xi and asked with worry, “My Lady, are you all right?” Meanwhile, Ya’er looked Duanmu Xi up and down.

Looking at Ya’er concerned appearance, Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips, “I’m fine!” She didn’t take the two insignificant opponents to heart at all.

Ya’er let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, “It’s great that you’re fine!”

“My Lady, you were so impressive. You just beat the pants off them!”

“My Lady, please teach me martial arts skills. I wanna be as awesome as you!”

Hearing Ya’er chattering behind her, Duanmu Xi stroked her forehead and wondered if she shouldn’t have saved Ya’er just now.

In the underground secret chamber of the Wilderness Holy Hall.

After searching for one night, Bai He finally found this underground secret chamber. This chamber was not very big. There were oil lamps on the walls of the chamber, so it was not very dark. There was an oval iron barrel in the middle, which was tied with four chains.

Bai He walked near the iron barrel gently only to find that there was a square hole on the top of the iron barrel. A face was exposed in the hole. Upon seeing the face, Bai He couldn’t help frowning. The face, which was full of scars, was literally hard to recognize. Judging from the face’s contour, it could be faintly recognized as a woman’s face.

Hearing the footsteps, the woman suddenly opened her eyes.

Bai He was astonished to see the woman suddenly open her eyes, but upon seeing the coldness in the woman’s eyes, he instantly calmed down.

“Are you Mei Luo?” Bai He asked.

Upon seeing the strange man in front, Mei Luo knitted her brows, “Who are you?” Her voice was extremely hoarse as if she hadn’t spoken for a long time.

Hearing the hoarse voice, Bai He subconsciously frowned again, “I’m Xi’s friend. She asked me to find you.”

Hearing that, Mei Luo was hesitant and didn’t answer.

Seeing Mei Luo’s suspicious eyes, Bai He immediately took out a white jade hairpin from his arms and showed it to Mei Luo.

Mei Luo was surprised to see the white jade hairpin. Why did this man have the hairpin? Given Xuanyuan Hao’s character, he should use the hairpin to threaten Xi. It should be in Xi’s hands. It seemed that this man was telling the truth.

As Mei Luo believed his words, Bai He felt relieved and looked at her, “I’ll rescue you now.” Then, he tried to break the iron barrel with the mysterious Qi.

“No,” Mei Luo immediately shouted, “Stay away from the iron barren. Once you touch it, that person will know someone has broken in.”

Bai He instantly withdrew his mysterious Qi. If anyone knew that he was in the secret chamber, Xi would be in danger.

Mei Luo looked at Bai He with her eyes getting soft, saying gently, “Go back. Ask Xi to go back too. Don’t let her take risks for me.” She didn’t want Xi to get hurt for her, not in the slightest.

Hearing that, Bai He was hesitant. After struggling for a while, he looked at Mei Luo and said with determination, “Wait for us. We will rescue you soon!”

When Mei Luo looked up again, Bai He had disappeared from her sight.

In the Wuyou Palace.

Duanmu Xi felt the fluctuation in the air, her dark purple eyes flicking. She looked at Ya’er aside and said, “I’m a bit tired. I wanna get some sleep. Wait outside the hall. Without my permission, no one is allowed to come inside.”

Ya’er is slightly dazed to hear that and said with a frown, “What if the Region Master wants to come in? Can’t he come in?”

Duanmu Xi slightly curled her lips, “Especially him. Rest assured. He can’t come inside.”

Ya’er blinked her eyes and didn’t understand what Duanmu Xi meant, but she still replied with a bow, “Yes, I’m on it.” After saying that, Ya’er bowed herself out.

Staring at Ya’er’s back, Duanmu Xi was lost in thought. This maid was not scheming but after all, she was sent here by the Region Master. Duanmu Xi had to be wary of Ya’er.

“Show yourself!” Right after Duanmu Xi finished speaking, a handsome green-eyed and golden-haired man appeared in the room.

Duanmu Xi looked at the handsome man in front of her, her eyes flicking. It seemed that no matter how many times she had seen him, she would be stunned by him.

“How did everything go? Did you find my third master?”

Bai He nodded, “I’ve seen her. I’ll take you there tonight.”

“Really?” Duanmu Xi grabbed Bai He’s shoulders and said with excitement, “Is my master okay?”

Instantly, Bai He’s green eyes flickered. He had no idea how to reply to her. If Xi saw her master become that miserable, she would be heartbroken.

Seeing Bai He’s hesitant eyes, Duanmu Xi guessed Mei Luo’s recent situation and slowly loosened her hands off Bai He. She felt her heart aching heavily and thought, “Third Master, wait for me. I’ll rescue you soon.”

“Bai He, I need you to do me a favor.”

“Just say it.”

“I wrote a letter. I hope you can help take it to Green Pine Inn and give it to my chief master, Situ Kong.” Then, Duanmu Xi took out a letter from her arms and passed it to Bai He. She had been missing for two days. Her chief master and Phoenix Five must be very worried.

Bai He took the letter and nodded, “OK. I’m on it.”

Then, Bai He disappeared from the room at once.

In the Wilderness Jungle.

“Your Highness, look!” Yu Feng pointed at the ground ahead and stopped, “There are signs of a struggle. Her Highness and the others must have come here before.” Yu Feng walked over and crouched down to observe the green snakes on the ground.

Hearing that, Xuanyuan Mo glimpsed the green snakes on the ground and subconsciously frowned.

Seeing the scene, Lishang walked to Xuanyuan Mo and said gently, “Her Highness’s cultivation level isn’t low. She’s also protected by Elder Situ and so many secret guards. She must be fine.”

Xuanyuan Mo’s amber eyes flicked. He hoped so!

“Judging from the green snakes’ decaying degree, Her Highness and the others must have been away for six or seven days,” Yu Feng rose and reported the result to Xuanyuan Mo.

Xuanyuan Mo knitted his brows. It had been six or seven days. Would Xi and the others have gotten out of the jungle?

Seeing that Xuanyuan Mo was pondering with a frown, Yu Feng also knitted his brows, “Your Highness, what should we do now? Shall we still keep chasing?” He figured that Her Highness and the others must have arrived at the Wilderness Holy Region.

Xuanyuan Mo took a glance at the luxuriant jungle. For the moment, he didn’t know what to do.

Lishang went forward and said, “Your Highness, why don’t we leave this place and go to the Wilderness Holy Region? If Her Highness and the others have arrived, we can meet up with them. If they haven’t arrived, we can wait for them in the Wilderness Holy Region or look for them later.”

Xuanyuan Mo nodded and was about to speak when Yu Feng shouted, “Your Highness, it’s the Iron Eagle. Yu Ying must have sent a message here.”

After Yu Feng finished speaking, a strong Iron Eagle flew down. Yu Feng immediately reached out his arm to catch it.

No sooner had Yu Feng taken the note off Iron Eagle’s foot than it was seized by Xuanyuan Mo.

After Xuanyuan Mo read the note, his face instantly darkened. He clenched the note as if to cling his eyes to it.

Yu Feng and Lishang exchanged glances. Although they were curious about the note, no one dared to speak.

“We’ll go to the Wilderness Holy Region,” Xuanyuan Mo said and threw the note to Lishang. He directly summoned the Icy Dragon before they could react.

After reading the note, Lishang put on a grim look and passed the note to Yu Feng. Upon seeing the words—”Her Highness is missing”, Yu Feng couldn’t help shivering. Her Highness was missing. No wonder His Highness appeared so anxious.

“Come here.” His cold voice was a bit impatient.

They immediately flew onto the Icy Dragon. No sooner had they steadied themselves than the Icy Dragon rushed outside like a rocket. The Icy Dragon was cold but they felt that the cold breath His Highness gave off was graver than that of the Icy Dragon.
