Chapter 772: Unintentional Delay
Xu Meijing didn't hide her power fluctuation, and the spatial rift also formed a wave, so when she appeared in the villa's courtyard with Yang Haoran, the others in the villa immediately sensed it.
As soon as they burst out of the spatial rift, a fierce gust of dark wind swept through the courtyard, and a strong Demonic Qi suddenly erupted, warning of an unexpected visitor.
A loud crashing sound echoed, and a figure instantly appeared in the courtyard, blocking Xu Meijing's path. A strong Demonic Qi emanated from this person.
This person was none other than Bai Xue.
As soon as Bai Xue appeared, Master Wu and Xiu Juan followed, and Xiaokang was the last to arrive.
From the moment Bai Xue appeared to the moment Xiaokang arrived, it only took a few seconds. After sensing the sudden power fluctuation in the courtyard, they immediately dropped what they were doing and rushed to the courtyard where the power fluctuation was emanating.
The moment the power fluctuation appeared in the courtyard, their first reaction was that an enemy had arrived, so their response was extremely strong, and they didn't dare to hesitate for a moment.
After all, the location of Yang Haoran's villa wasn't a secret, and it was normal for enemies to find their way there. Brought to you by the folks at MV|LEMPYR.
However, when they arrived at the courtyard and saw that the visitor was Xu Meijing, they were all taken aback.
They didn't expect Xu Meijing to suddenly appear here, and seeing her covered in blood, it was clear that she had just experienced a fierce battle. Moreover, she was holding someone in her arms, which left everyone stunned.
They had just arrived and hadn't had time to react when Xu Meijing urgently shouted at Bai Xue, who was the first to arrive.
"Alchemist Alchemist Hurry up and find the Alchemist Where is his Alchemist friend?"
Xu Meijing's tone was extremely anxious, and her words were somewhat incoherent.
Startled by her shout, the others finally reacted, and their gazes all fell on the person in her arms.
Because Xu Meijing was holding Yang Haoran very tightly, his entire face was facing towards Xu Meijing, so the others couldn't see his face clearly.
Moreover, Yang Haoran's clothes were tattered and covered in fresh blood and mud, making it impossible to recognize the original appearance of his clothes. Therefore, the others didn't realize that the person in Xu Meijing's arms was Yang Haoran.
"Hey, Underworld Envoy, what's going on? Who's this beggar you're holding?"
Bai Xue's face broke into a charming smile, and her tone was full of teasing.
She knew that Yang Haoran and Xu Meijing had a special relationship, and it was even possible to say that their relationship was very intimate. However, this was precisely why she felt repelled by Xu Meijing.
Apart from that, she didn't like Xu Meijing's personality, which was always cold and aloof, looking down on others with an air of superiority, making her very uncomfortable.
So, seeing Xu Meijing in such a sorry state, holding an unknown person who might be dead or alive, she couldn't resist making a teasing remark.
Xu Meijing was already anxious, and when she heard Bai Xue's words, her face instantly darkened. Especially Bai Xue's calm and collected demeanor made her feel a strong urge to kill, which directly erupted from her eyes.
However, she didn't attack Bai Xue. In this situation, even if she wanted to kill Bai Xue, she didn't have the time. Compared to killing Bai Xue, saving Yang Haoran was more important.
"Did an Alchemist used to live here? Where did he live? Hurry up and tell me!"
Xu Meijing suppressed her urge to kill, holding Yang Haoran and taking a step forward, as a strong power fluctuation erupted from her body. She coldly interrogated Bai Xue.
At this moment, Xu Meijing was very weak, with only a little Yin spirit power left in her body. However, she had opened her earth soul, and her current strength was unmatched. The power that burst out of her in anger was not worth mentioning to people of the same realm, but it gave Bai Xue and the others a very strong sense of oppression!
Xu Meijing's power fluctuation at this time naturally carried a threatening tone, but Bai Xue was not intimidated by Xu Meijing's powerful power fluctuation. She didn't back down or show fear.
As for who the Alchemist Xu Meijing was talking about, Bai Xue had already guessed. There was only one Alchemist here, and that was Feng Xiao. Except for Feng Xiao, no other Alchemist had ever come here.
However, from Xu Meijing's words, it seemed that she only knew that an Alchemist had come here before, but didn't know that the Alchemist was still living here, nor did she know who the Alchemist was.
Yang Haoran had previously instructed that Feng Xiao's existence was a secret, and no one else could know except for them.
Moreover, no matter the time or place, they had to protect Feng Xiao's safety and prevent her from getting hurt in any way.
So, whether publicly or privately, she couldn't tell Xu Meijing about Feng Xiao, nor would she admit that an Alchemist had come here.
Furthermore, from the current situation, Xu Meijing's anxious expression and her demand to find the Alchemist were 100% because of the man in her arms, which made Bai Xue even more uncomfortable.
From Xu Meijing's anxious appearance, it was clear that her relationship with the man in her arms was not just a simple friendship. Since her relationship with Yang Haoran was unusual, yet she was still entangled with another man, Bai Xue felt even more resistant to Xu Meijing and unfair to Yang Haoran.
"What's with this Alchemist business? I have no idea what you're talking about. But I know you're getting angry, so remember to eat less spicy food and drink more water, and don't stay up too late..."
Bai Xue's face still had a charming smile, but her gaze towards Xu Meijing was filled with undisguised disdain and dislike.
However, before she could finish speaking, the man in Xu Meijing's arms, Yang Haoran, suddenly tilted his head, and his blood-stained face was clearly visible to everyone.
Bai Xue's smile froze, and the others' faces also changed. Yang Haoran's face was covered in fresh blood, but how could the people present not recognize him?
"What's going on?"
Bai Xue's reaction was extreme, her charming smile disappeared, replaced by a panicked expression, and her voice even trembled.
Master Wu reacted the fastest, seeing Yang Haoran's current state and combining it with Xu Meijing's previous words, he immediately understood what Xu Meijing wanted to do with the Alchemist.
Xu Meijing's patience had reached its limit, and she was about to take action against Bai Xue. Master Wu intervened at this time.
"Hurry up and follow me!"
The old man's tone was also urgent, and although he didn't explain, his urgent tone was enough to explain everything.
Xu Meijing didn't know where Master Wu was taking her, but she could sense that as long as she followed Master Wu, she would definitely find the Alchemist.
She once again forcefully suppressed her desire to take action against Bai Xue, let out a cold snort, and pulled Bai Xue away from her, then hurriedly followed Master Wu with Yang Haoran in her arms.
Under Master Wu's lead, the group rushed towards another hidden villa, which was where Feng Xiao cultivated medicinal herbs and practiced alchemy.
Before entering the villa, Xu Meijing was blocked by the villa's restriction barrier because she didn't have the mark to enter the barrier, so she was treated as an intruder and blocked.
In other words, she didn't have the access permit to enter the villa.
However, for a violent person, what's the point of having a permit? As long as one's fist is big enough, it's the best and most practical permit!
At this time, Xu Meijing perfectly illustrated this principle. When she saw a barrier of light suddenly appear in front of her, blocking her path, she didn't say a word and directly punched the restriction barrier, shattering it to pieces.
