Chapter 447: Eavesdropping in the Alley! A Mysterious Powerhouse!

  After resting for a night, Xiao Yi Xian, Nan Yanran, and Xiao Yi off early the m, leaving the city and heading toward the Tianmu Mountain Range as marked on their map. The Tianmu Mountain Range wasn’t too far from their location. If they flew, it would take about ten days to reach it. However, since Xiao Yi Xian and Nan Yanran had just spent half a month in the spatial passage, they decided to take their time and travel more leisurely.

  Three days ter, the trio arrived in another city to rest. This city, known as Huagu City, was uhe trol of a fa called the Huagu Sect. While there were several other forces withiy, none could rival the Huagu Sect. The sect maintained a reputation for ag with measured restraint. Even when profits were at stake, it ensured a fair share for others, albeit keeping the lion's share for itself. This banced approach allowed the Huagu Seaintain its dominance over the city for many years, with few fas daring to challes authority.

  The leader of the Huagu Sect, Fu Fan, specialized in water-element teiques that were slightly eerie. When engaged in bat, his cealed strength would silently infiltrate his oppo’s body. The soft yet pervasive energy caused boo soften oruck. As a result, the Huagu Sect was widely renowned, even in the surrounding cities.

  Due to the immi appearance of the Tianshan Blood Pool, Huagu City had bee a hub for numerous groups and fas. As the overlord of the northern region, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion had sent many of its most outstanding younger disciples to the Tianshan Blood Pool. Among the various groups vying to access the mountains, these disciples were undoubtedly the most elite.

  The Wind and Thunder Pavilion had dispatched dozens of Dou Emperor-level experts, including several high-ranking Dou Emperors. In addition to the younger geion, some older experts at the peak of the Dou Emperor realm, uo break through to the Dou Aor level, sought to use the Tianshan Blood Pool’s tempering properties to make a final attempt at crossing into the Dou Aor stage.

  In a secluded alley of Huagu City, two or three figures gathered near a courtyard wall, engaged in a quiet versation.

  Suddenly, a young man with a nky, monkey-like appearance pointed in a specific dire and said, “I heard that over three months ago, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion suffered a major setba that mountain range. Not only did they lose several talented disciples, but even one of their Dou Aor elders had an arm severed!”

  “Is that true? Wasn’t the only notable threat in that mountain rahe transformed Gray Wolf King? Would the Gray Wolf King dare provoke the Wind and Thunder Pavilion?” Another person expressed doubt upon hearing the monkey-like man’s words.

  “It’s absolutely true!”

  The monkey-like man nodded early at their skepticism and quickly eborated, “A friend of mine overheard this from one of the Wind and Thunder Pavilion disciples. He told me in fidence, so keep this to yourselves and don’t spread it further!”

  “Acc to what you’re saying, the Gray Wolf King should have already bee with by the Wind and Thunder Pavilion. There’s no way a single Gray Wolf King could stand up to them!”

  “Why are you jumping to clusions? I never said it was the Gray Wolf King who caused the Wind and Thunder Pavilion’s trouble!”

  “If it wasn’t the Gray Wolf King, then who was it?” Seeing the man deliberately holding back, another person pressed him anxiously.

  “Stop keeping us in suspense and just tell us!”

  Noting their reas, the monkey-like man revealed a hint of smugness on his face. With a reverent expression, he expined, “It’s said that on that day, an individual with unfathomable strength appeared. This person emerged from the void itself, transformed into a colossal figure wreathed in lightning. With just one gaze, a five-star Dou Emperor from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion’s inner disciples, Tian Xing, was reduced to a mist of blood. In one casual motion, the Dou Aor elder from the Wind and Thunder Pavilion lost an arm, pletely uo resist!”

  “Hiss—”

  The other ted sharply, their eyes wide with shock.

  “How terrifying is such a person?”

  “No wohe Wind and Thunder Pavilion chose to cover this up. Based on what you’ve described, evehunder Venerable himself might not be fident in handling such a mysterious powerhouse!” The two finally recovered, sighing in amazement.

  At this moment, behind the wall of the alley where the three mealking, three slender figures were ily eavesdropping on their versation.

  These three figures were her than Xiao Yi Xian, Nan Yanran, and Xiao Yin, who had just entered Huagu City to rest for a while.

  Due to habits cultivated ba the Cloud Empire, Xiao Yi Xian enjoyed visiting quiet alleys like this to gather (or eavesdrop on) information. This time, she had brought Nan Yanran and Xiao Yin along.

  "Xian’er, why do I feel like the mysterious powerhouse they're talking about might be Master?" Nan Yanran asked suspiciously.

  Hearing her words, Xiao Yi Xian analyzed thoughtfully, "In terms of timing, it does match up with when Master and Mistress left. However, Master and Mistress should have been together, but these people mentioned Master appearing alone. Also, the teique of transf into lightning isn't something we've seen Master use before. So, for now, we 't clude that the mysterious person is Master."

  Nan Yanran nodded slightly, finding Xiao Yi Xian's reasoning reasonable. But in the moment, she suddenly suggested, "Xian’er, maybe that guy knows more and just didn’t say it. Why don’t ture him and interrogate him?"

  "I was just thinking the same thing," Xiao Yi Xian said with a faint smile and nodded gently.

  In the secluded alley, a sudden gust of fierce wind swept through, causing the three men who had been talking to instinctively shut their eyes.

  In an instant, a silver energy surged, ing around the monkey-like man and lifting him into the air. By the time the other two opeheir eyes, the monkey-like man had disappeared, along with the gust of wind.

  Realizing what had just happehe two remainiurned pale and, without hesitation, bolted out of the alley as if their lives depended on it.

  "Mercy, dies, mercy!"

  Meanwhile, oher side of the wall, the monkey-like man, now trembling in fear, was staring at the three women before him, pleading desperately.

  Looking at the terrified man, who seemed close to wetting his pants, Xiao Yi Xian spoke gently, "Don't worry. As long as you answer my questions truthfully, I won't kill you."

  "Questions? Ask whatever you want, young madam! If I know the answers, I’ll tell you everything!" Having witnessed Xiao Yi Xian’s method of capturing him, the man had no iion of resisting and quickly agreed.

  "I’ll ask you this," Xiao Yi Xian said directly, "The mysterious powerhouse you mentioned, who severed the Wind and Thunder Pavilion’s Dou Aor elder’s arm—were there any others present besides the Wind and Thunder Pavilion members when he appeared?"

  "There were," the man replied hastily. "It’s said that there was also a resent!"
