Shocking! The female protagonist unlocked her powers by killing people!

"Roar!"

Upon hearing the man's boastful words, Little Golden Tiger leaped off Lin Xinze's arms, instantly growing larger, and roared at the man.

"So what if it's a spirit-level beast?" To everyone's surprise, the man didn't take the little golden tiger seriously. Seeing the little golden tiger grow bigger, the man raised his hand to form a seal, and a formation appeared in front of him. Then, a huge beast with a pair of giant horns stepped out of the formation and rushed towards the little golden tiger.

"Third Prince, Princess, hurry and leave!" The city lord urged Yan Wuxuan and Yan Wuxin to leave as soon as he saw the two sides start fighting.

Yan Wuxuan picked up Lin Xinze and left with the city lord.

Yan Wuxin was worried about Ling Yi, so she didn't leave so decisively, but she didn't stay either, because she knew very well that if she stayed here, she would not only not be able to help Ling Yi, but would also hold him back.

The city lord's mansion led them to quickly evacuate from this place, and at the same time, Lie Qiuyang and the others also withdrew.

A group of people left the city lord's mansion. Once outside, Yan Wuxuan looked at the city lord and asked, "What exactly happened?"

"This..." Lie Cang looked at the two of them, then pointed to his mouth, looking distressed: "Third Prince, it's not that I don't want to say it, it's that I can't say it!"

Yan Wuxuan looked at Lie Cang: "Are you being restricted by someone?"

Lie Cang nodded: "I can't say."

Yan Wuxuan frowned, carefully recalling the situation before Ling Yi made his move. After remembering something amiss, he suddenly looked down at Lin Xinze in his arms.

Lin Xinze was not at ease being held in Yan Wuxuan's arms, because he was worried about his sister and kept struggling to get down.

Yan Wuxuan's gaze fell on Lin Xinze's face. Lin Xinze was born with a fair and lovely appearance, the kind that makes people like him at first glance, especially his eyes, which were round and bright, like two black pearls.

Yan Wuxuan looked at Lie Cang: "Because of the child?"

Lie Cang couldn't speak, nor could he admit it, but sometimes silence is the answer.

Yan Wuxuan's brows furrowed instantly; no wonder Ling Yi suddenly made a move.

Listening to the conversation between Yan Wuxuan and Lie Cang, Lie Jiu, standing to the side, felt a terrible suspicion rising in his heart and asked in a trembling voice, "Wh-what do you mean?"

"What does this have to do with the child?"

Lie Cang looked at Lie Jiu, his eyes filled with regret: "Jiu, you shouldn't have come back."

"What do you mean by this?" Liejiu grabbed the city lord's collar: "Speak!"

Lie Cang couldn't speak. He could only watch as Lie Jiu, his friend's son, fell into the abyss, powerless to help, just as he had been more than a year ago when he watched helplessly as the child was tricked into coming back and being hunted down.

"Why didn't you say anything?!" Lie Jiu was furious. It wasn't that he hadn't heard Lie Cang's reply to Yan Wuxuan; he was restricted from speaking, but he was too afraid. He dared not think about it. If it were true, then his brother...

"what!"

The intense pain from the strong liquor caused a sudden gash on the back of his hand, from which flames, fueled by his blood, raged wildly.

"Strong liquor!" Yan Wuxin exclaimed upon seeing this, "Calm down! Using the Explosive Fire Technique too much will completely destroy your body!"

"I'm going to kill him! I'm going to kill him!" Overwhelmed by rage and grief, Li Jiu went mad: "Beast! Beast!"

"I'm going to kill them!"

"Who do you want to kill?" A dismissive voice replied, "You think you're worthy?"

Upon hearing this, Lie Jiu looked up sharply, and when he saw Lie Qiuyang's face, he exploded like a fiery lion and charged forward, yelling, "Beast!"

"Strong liquor!"

Seeing that he couldn't stop him, Yan Wuxin looked at the guards and said, "Help him!"

Yan Wuxin gave the order, and the guards immediately attacked Lie Qiuyang.

Lie Qiuyang didn't take Lie Jiu seriously, as he was only a level three Spirit General. However, the guards brought by Yan Wuxin and his group were much stronger. Lie Qiuyang could handle one or two of the weaker ones, but not the stronger ones. So he didn't try to force his way in. Therefore, when the guards attacked, Lie Qiuyang said, "If you touch me, don't even think about leaving Liehuo City alive."

Lie Cang also said, "Third Prince, Princess, you mustn't!"

"What arrogance!" The elder, the most powerful among the guards, looked at Lie Qiuyang: "You want His Highness and the Princess to leave alive? Are you trying to rebel?"

"I'm just stating the facts." Lie Qiuyang looked at everyone: "Who is the person with the highest cultivation level in the Western Flame Empire right now?"

"Isn't this Elder Yan, who hasn't shown her face in public for several years?" Lie Qiuyang said casually, "I remember she was a Level 5 Spirit Saint."

"A fifth-level Spirit Saint is the highest-level existence in the Western Flame Empire. Do you know what level of cultivation that powerful figure inside is?"

No one responded; even the old man who had reprimanded Lie Qiuyang couldn't answer.

Seeing that none of them could answer, Lie Qiuyang became even more arrogant and presumptuous: "That expert is a Level 3 Yellow Spirit General!"

Level 3 Yellow Spirit General?

what is that?

"Do you know why it's Huang Lingjiang?" Lie Qiuyang said, "Because that's a realm after Spirit Saint!"

"It's a realm where you can contract with spirit-level beasts!"

"Do you think that woman can be his match?" Lie Qiuyang looked at everyone. "Let me tell you, that woman is no match for him at all!"

"Of course, I'm no match for you people, but if you lay a finger on me, he won't let you off. But if you obey me, I can plead for him to spare that woman's life!"

"Huang Lingjiang, you're talking nonsense!" the old man shouted.

"Whether it's nonsense or the truth, you know in your hearts." Lie Qiuyang said, "I'm not afraid to tell you, that powerful person is not from here at all. He came to Yunzhou from outside. Isn't it normal for his cultivation to be higher than ours?"

From outside?

Yan Wuxuan and Yan Wuxin exchanged a glance, thinking about the recent incident. If that person came from outside, would they know about the Fengzhou Grand Formation?

Yan Wuxin's eyes flashed, and he said with a cold smile, "From outside?"

"There's a sealing formation above Yunzhou, so outsiders can't get in at all. Don't bluff!"

"What 'sealing state formation'? What do you mean 'can't get in'?" Lie Qiuyang looked at Yan Wuxin: "Your Highness, isn't it normal for someone with the strength to cross the sea and get in?"

"We can't just assume I'm talking nonsense and bluffing because the people inside aren't strong enough to get out, can we?" Lie Qiuyang said. "If he didn't come from outside, how would you explain that he possesses a spirit-level beast?"

Do the Four Great Empires have spirit-level beasts?

Judging from Lie Qiuyang's expression and tone, Yan Wuxin was certain that the man had not told him about the Fengzhou Grand Formation.

Did they not know, or did they simply not say?

"What do you mean there isn't one?" Yan Wuxin said coldly, "The little golden tiger is a spirit-level beast."

Before Lie Qiuyang could speak again, Yan Wuxin looked at the guards and said, "Take him down!"

Regardless of that person's identity or whether Ling Yi can win, he must first take down this accomplice. Even if he has to die, he must get rid of this beast!
