"Of course, the main reason was that bearded man. If he hadn't foolishly used the White Crane Spreads Wings move as a live target, and if the three of them had ganged up on me, I probably would have been reduced to ashes by them long ago."
"This is only because they took the initiative to come out. What if they had been hiding all along? What if they had attacked us when we weren't paying attention? What if they had poisoned our food? You know, these kinds of vicious villains who are willing to slaughter entire families are capable of anything."
In the end, Jiang Xiao still felt a lingering fear. He could only say that he was incredibly lucky today; otherwise, he would have almost lost his life here.
Bai Yi also agreed, saying that the battle just now was a close call, and her father was almost killed.
The father and daughter then huddled together, discussing how to ensure their safety should they encounter the same situation again.
Aren't you two being a little too cautious?
Are you two sick or something? Can't you be a little more normal like me?
Steel Egg had countless complaints in his mind, but he didn't know where to begin, so he simply stopped complaining.
He had heard before that a person's daughter reflects their personality, and he used to scoff at the idea, but now he believed it.
Chapter 419 Even the Strange Have Power?
"Oh, what a pity. We should have asked them earlier what kind of background this Young Master Qi has."
The moment the clever Chang'an uttered these words, both master and servant were stunned.
Oh my god, really?
Why didn't I think of that just now?
They could have used torture to extract a confession, but they wasted such a good opportunity.
Jiang Xiao stared at Chang An with a resentful expression until the latter felt uneasy before speaking indifferently.
Why didn't you remind me?
Chang An: "?"
"Dad, do you think this thing I just found is useful?"
Bai Yi ran over, holding a bunch of messy things like she was showing off a treasure.
"This identity badge?"
The most eye-catching thing was the three identical black tokens, which were surrounded by an eerie aura.
Moreover, it is difficult to remove by external force.
"There are more words?"
It says "Backer is a disciple of the Ghostly Outer Sect".
Tsk~
It seems there are different levels of talent even among the supernatural.
At his age, still stuck among the outer disciples, his talent has probably reached its peak and that's about it.
In cultivation novels, many outer disciples who know they will never make any progress in their lives will find excuses to go out and gain experience.
In reality, most of them left to find other ways to make a living.
Being a dog for the wealthy and powerful is one of the easiest paths.
Especially those who serve as dogs for ordinary people, euphemistically called "guest ministers," do little work, receive more pay, and even gain a certain degree of respect.
"Have you heard of this treacherous sect with its powerful backing?"
"Never heard of him. He's probably a local sect in Hangzhou, and an outer disciple at that. I doubt this Young Master Qi is anything special."
The Flying Cloud Sect, where Steel Egg is located, is not far from Hangzhou City. Since Chang An has never heard of this backer, he guesses that the sect is really weak.
"this is?"
Steel Egg curiously picked up a round, transparent bead from Bai Yi's hand, but it was covered in cracks.
Unexpectedly, Chang An frowned upon seeing this.
"Soul-Engraving Bead!"
This thing is very common. It consists of two beads, a mother bead and a child bead. A person's aura can be bound to the mother bead. If the person dies, the mother bead will also break.
"So, this force called 'Backer' or Young Master Qi already knows that the three of them are dead?"
"Kaoshan Gui probably doesn't know that these three old men are still outer disciples despite their advanced age. Kaoshan Gui probably doesn't even have their soul lamps."
Therefore, this Soul Pearl was most likely a gift from Young Master Qi.
"No wonder, after Ni He died last night, Song Qi was ambushed on the road. It must be because Ni He's mother pearl broke. Sigh, we should have checked the body properly back then."
Jiang Xiao felt guilty. If he had examined the bodies and discovered the Soul Pearl, he certainly wouldn't have let Song Qijia and the other mortals die like that.
After learning about the bead's effects, Bai Yi immediately wilted, saying that she had felt the small bead's presence when she ate Ni He last night, but hadn't thought much of it.
"How to do?"
Chang An felt uneasy; with these three dead, the other side must be on guard.
"Dad, let's avenge Da Lian and that kind person who treated us to dinner. If we hadn't killed that villain Ni He, and caused Young Master Qi to find out, that Song Qi family wouldn't have..."
He sighed, patted Bai Yi's head, and thought to himself that she really was a timid little girl who only liked listening to stories and was sentimental.
Not wanting to upset her, Jiang Xiao thought it over carefully and concluded that things were probably not as bad as Chang An thought.
Jiang Xiao guessed that Ni He from last night and the three people now were probably acquaintances, and that they were all outer disciples of the Mountain Clan who had joined forces with Young Master Qi.
Under normal circumstances, there shouldn't be any experts among the outer disciples.
"Most importantly, we are in the dark while they are in the light, which gives us the advantage!"
Two flowers bloom, one branch each.
At this moment, Young Master Qi was indeed somewhat worried, but not nearly as worried as Jiang Xiao had imagined.
Facing an antique and alluring mirror, Young Master Qi kept muttering to himself.
Finally, as if sensing some kind of summons, the image of Young Master Qi in the mirror slowly and eerily disappeared, revealing a naked and alluring woman.
"Xiao Qi, I already told you not to call me unless it's something really important. You'd better have something really urgent to say."
'Hiss~'
After speaking, the woman subconsciously stuck out her tongue, but it seemed to be different from a normal person's.
Young Master Qi knelt on the ground, but his eyes kept wandering towards the mirror.
"Master, this time we're really in trouble."
He was interrupted by the alluring woman in the mirror before he could finish speaking.
"Didn't I give you four pieces of trash? Isn't that enough?"
"Uh, Master, they're all dead."
"?"
"Didn't I repeatedly tell you to keep a low profile? Did you mess up or send those four old men to kill someone?"
The woman's dissatisfaction was almost palpable.
Young Master Qi immediately kowtowed frantically, admitting his mistake with a worried expression, saying that the problem was not with him, but with Song Dalian.
"Her unlucky father somehow found a master who not only killed Ni He's monster, but also threatened to report it to the authorities. I was forced to send three others to intercept him, but none of them survived, and the mother bead was completely shattered."
"The dozen or so young Karamis left in the manor are only barely at Ni He's level, and I'm afraid they won't be able to stop the opponent."
"Oh?"
The woman's expression softened slightly upon hearing about Da Lian.
This matter absolutely needs to be kept secret.
Moreover, precisely because this matter was of utmost importance, she did not arrange for the massacre of the entire Song family, for fear of attracting the attention of certain individuals.
"In that case, I have a ghost servant who can be lent to you for protection for two days. Even ordinary Golden Core cultivators cannot withstand her methods."
"Male and female?"
"Hehe, she is a woman, but you should be careful, the Ghost Slave's strength can only be maximized at night."
Upon hearing that it was a woman, Young Master Qi's face instantly revealed an uncontrollable joy.
"Doesn't that mean he's the same as me, working under you, someone on the same level as me?"
"One level?"
The woman in the mirror chuckled coldly, her tone filled with undisguised mockery.
"She is a slave, you are a lowly dog. She is my servant, and you are only fit to be a dog."
After speaking, the woman's figure gradually disappeared from the mirror, followed by a final, faint instruction.
"This ghost slave is named Juice Squeezer. She was promiscuous in life, and now, as a female ghost, she loves to absorb people's yang energy. She will arrive within two hours."

When the woman's presence in the mirror had completely disappeared.
