"Idiot."
Zhang Wuwei waved his hand again, and Lin Xiao was sent flying.
Lin Xiao's current strength had indeed improved significantly compared to someone like True Person Tianhe, but when faced with a truly capable cultivator, Lin Xiao was nothing more than an ant.
Even he wouldn't dare to say he could storm the Kui Tian Sect and cause a massive scene.
In just a few seconds, Lin Xiao reappeared. This time, he directly knelt on the ground.
"Senior, I hope you can tell me the address. I promise I won't act rashly or rush in to die," Lin Xiao said, looking up and holding up four fingers. "I swear."
"..."
Zhang Wuwei's mouth twitched. Where did this kid learn this from?
Thinking of this, he raised his broom and started swatting Lin Xiao head-on.
"I told you, I'm not telling you for your own good. If I did, what about your wife? What about your daughter? What about the only family you have left?" Zhang Wuwei knew very well how much these people meant to Lin Xiao, and he also knew how much the incident with the Lin family had impacted Lin Xiao back then.
Lin Xiao lowered his head and endured Zhang Wuwei's beating with the broom. Only after Zhang Wuwei stopped did he raise his head and say, "Senior, I am calm."
"You..."
The stubbornness in Lin Xiao's eyes caused Zhang Wuwei a moment of hesitation. "I can tell you, but there's one condition."
"What condition!"
Lin Xiao immediately nodded.
"Reach the Freedom Realm."
This was the most basic requirement. Only when Lin Xiao reached the Freedom Realm, considering his martial arts foundation and current strength, no one below the elders of the Kui Tian Sect could do anything to him.
However...
If he remembered correctly, if Lin Xiao reached the Freedom Realm, the people from the Kui Tian Sect would actively make a move.
At that time, he wouldn't have to go and visit them himself.
"Deal."
Lin Xiao agreed to this condition immediately.
The next second, he sat down cross-legged.
"What is this?"
Zhang Wuwei looked strangely at Lin Xiao's actions, then he understood. Lin Xiao was just cultivating here, was he planning to break through right here?
Who could break through just by saying so? Moreover, this was the Freedom Realm! Among those who entered the Dao through martial arts, there were only a handful of them in the entire Inner Realm.
How could Lin Xiao...?
He had only thought halfway when his mouth widened, and he stared at Lin Xiao in astonishment.
Not only him, but everyone from the Shadow Assassins also stopped what they were doing and stared at Lin Xiao.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was like a black hole, absorbing all the spiritual energy from the entire mountain. Not only spiritual energy, but this time, Lin Xiao also absorbed fifty percent of the essence of plants and trees.
He was worried that the amount of spiritual energy would not be enough.
A massive spiritual energy storm formed almost in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Wuwei looked up at this miniature tornado and finally realized that perhaps he had underestimated Lin Xiao's talent.
Not only was his body's self-healing ability at an incredible level, but even he couldn't match Lin Xiao's speed in absorbing spiritual energy.
This wasn't just absorbing spiritual energy; Lin Xiao was like a gluttonous beast swallowing all the spiritual power.
As for the members of the Shadow Assassins, when had they ever seen such a scene? They were all mesmerized.
"What are you looking at? Finish your work," Zhang Wuwei snorted lightly, telling them to look away. He himself began to walk around Lin Xiao, observing every aspect of him.
His cultivation was genuinely improving.
This kid had probably absorbed all the spiritual energy from his mountain.
Yan Zhibei thought that her trip to Modu would end in failure. Just as she was about to board her flight back to the city, she met Jiang Yuan.
"Zhibei, someone said they can help us!"
Jiang Yuan grabbed her hand, her face filled with visible excitement.
"What? Help us with what?" Yan Zhibei looked at Jiang Yuan strangely, not understanding what her friend was suddenly talking about.
"Oh, just come with me and you'll know! Have you forgotten the problems our family is facing? Someone can help us solve them!" Jiang Yuan said eagerly.
"Who?" Yan Zhibei's face showed caution. She knew that if it weren't for the severity of their family's problems, which even a prominent family like the Dongfang family couldn't resolve, she wouldn't have come to Modu.
Now, Jiang Yuan suddenly said someone could help them. The Dongfang family had already been destroyed by Chu Feng. Who else could help them?
"This place, Modu, is full of rich people. It's not hard to find someone, is it?" Jiang Yuan said, pulling Yan Zhibei along. "Let's go, let's go, they're waiting for us."
Yan Zhibei was somewhat resistant. She looked at Jiang Yuan. In any matter, there had to be a reason, or a transaction to be made. For people like her and Jiang Yuan, it was either their family's entire fortune or their own bodies.
Was Jiang Yuan rushing to become someone's canary?
"Jiang Yuan, tell me first, who exactly is it?" Yan Zhibei shook off her hand and asked, "What's their background? Tell me clearly. Aren't you afraid they're swindlers, these people who suddenly appeared?"
"Miss Yan, we are not swindlers."
It was no longer Jiang Yuan who spoke, but another person. No one knew when he had appeared beside Yan Zhibei. He wore sunglasses and was standing very close.
As he spoke, one of his hands even rested on Yan Zhibei's cheek, gently stroking it. "We can really help you solve your problems."
Just as Yan Zhibei was about to push away this disgusting man, she suddenly felt herself lose balance. Two men in suits suddenly appeared out of nowhere, grabbed her, and carried her out of the airport.
Jiang Yuan also hurried to follow.
"Let go..."
As soon as she started to speak, the man who had been stroking her face produced a pistol and put it in her mouth. "Miss Yan, sometimes, you need to consider what you can say and what you cannot say."
A gun!
Yan Zhibei felt threatened by these words. She glanced at Jiang Yuan, who was following beside her. There were two people beside Jiang Yuan as well. It was clear that Jiang Yuan was also being held hostage.
...
One hour later.
Jiang Yuan and Yan Zhibei sat quietly in a river-view suite. Sitting in front of them was a woman.
This was a woman Yan Zhibei would envy at first glance.
She had long legs, a proud bust, and a captivating, slender waist. Especially now, she was wearing a fiery red mini-dress that made it impossible to look away. Her face looked quite pure, yet it was paired with a pair of alluring, electric eyes.
