Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 208: Pursuit and Assassination

There are certain potential risks within the space tunnel. This time, as they brought Song Juan along, Xia Mian immediately summoned the "Riding the Wind" again. A talisman floated beneath each of their feet, and in the next moment, they were flying through the space tunnel.

It was Song Juan’s first time experiencing such a spectacle, her face was pale, and she clung tightly to Xia Mian’s arm.

Knowing she was scared, Xia Mian proactively held her in his embrace.

In Xia Mian’s arms, Song Juan finally felt a bit more secure.

With the aid of "Riding the Wind," the five quickly reached the end of the space tunnel.

Although it was the first time Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan attempted to use the Invisible Door, the results seemed fine. They did not encounter the dangers faced by the others on their previous journey to Inch.

As they reached the end of the space tunnel, the sky suddenly darkened.

It was still the same day, in the withered forest, oppressively dark.

Just as Xia Mian and the others steadied themselves, they felt an anomaly behind them. When she turned around, all she saw were dried leaves being swept up by the wind, swirling and flying into the sky.

Just now, did someone follow them out of the space tunnel?

Was it because she focused too much on Song Juan and missed the anomaly behind, or was the person following them really strong?

Xia Mian squinted her eyes slightly. Before she could think further, Xia Weizhang anxiously asked, "Cousin, can you sense where Ding Cheng is?"

Xia Mian glanced at him; this Xia Weizhang truly seemed concerned about Ding Cheng.

Shared hardships led to genuine feelings?

Internally, Xia Mian was scornful, but her face remained indifferent.

Regardless, Ding Cheng had scouted the path for them, which was somewhat beneficial. Since someone wanted to kill her, in terms of reason and emotion, Xia Mian ought to intercept them.

Xia Mian remained silent, causing Xia Weizhang to grow anxious, "Cousin, hurry and speak, Ding Cheng is just a regular person now. If she’s in danger, she might die!"

Xia Mian narrowed her eyes slightly, sensed Ding Cheng’s location, then pointed west, "That way!"

As Xia Mian’s words landed, Xia Weizhang dashed off like an arrow.

Xia Mian blinked, tilting her head to look at Lu Zechuan. "Has he forgotten he’s just a regular person now too?"

Rushing out like that, was he going to be a cushion for Ding Cheng?

Lu Zechuan’s lips curved into a slight smile, "Seems like he’s a bit love-struck."

Xia Mian’s eyes narrowed. Xia Weizhang, love-struck? That didn’t seem like his character.

"Come on, let’s go check it out!" Xia Mian supported Song Juan and headed west.

After all, Xia Weizhang had called her Heaven’s cousin so many times, becoming her convenient cousin, from her convenient father’s side. Watching him rush into danger wasn’t appropriate.

But Song Juan grabbed Xia Mian, "Mianmian, can we go home?"

This place filled her with an inexplicable terror; she didn’t want to stay another second.

Originally supporting Song Juan, Xia Mian naturally felt her slight trembling.

Song Juan was scared.

Xia Mian sighed quietly in her mind, "Mom, we need something from Ding Cheng to get home."

This was also why Xia Mian wanted to check on Ding Cheng’s situation.

They were brought to the Divine Clan by Ding Cheng, who had a key to it, while they did not.

To leave this place, they still needed Ding Cheng’s help.

Song Juan paused, no longer mentioning going home.

Her daughter was powerful, but some things were beyond her. She couldn’t make Mianmian’s task harder.

Leading Song Juan, Xia Mian walked west step by step.

As everyone stepped on the dead leaves in the withered forest, the eerie rustling sound echoed again.

Song Juan’s face whitened a bit further.

Faintly, sounds of clattering footsteps and arguing came from ahead.

"Get out of my way!" Xia Weiyang’s voice carried a tinge of anger, sharp and piercing.

"Xia Weiyang, what right do you have to kill her?" Xia Weizhang protested, "She came here because of the bounty you offered, didn’t she? You’re just discarding the donkey after it’s done its job?"

Xia Weiyang sneered, "If it wasn’t for her, how could I be in such a sorry state right now! It’s bad enough bringing that bitch, but why bring the bastard born of that bitch! What an idiot!"

Xia Weiyang viciously cursed, "I’ve been looking for you for five days, finally I caught your trail. Today, I’ll send you all to hell together!"

With Xia Weiyang’s words, she shouted, "Why haven’t you attacked yet!?"

Following Xia Weiyang’s shout, the sound of fighting emanated from ahead.

Here, none of the Divine Clan could use magic; it was all about physical strength.

Xia Weiyang brought a group over, holding the advantage in numbers.

Xia Weizhang was quickly struggling to hold them off.

Ding Cheng was even quieter, her fate unknown.

"Xia Weiyang, this is the Burial God Tomb, and you brought clan members here, are you showing complete disregard for Divine Clan rules?!" Xia Weizhang, anxious, couldn’t help but rebuke, his eyes reddened.

"Speak of rules... what are you doing here?" Xia Weiyang clearly didn’t buy it.

She’d been at odds with Xia Weizhang not just for a day or two, long wanting to kill him, only lacking the opportunity.

Running into him here in the Burial God Tomb, perfect; blame his death on himself for trespassing and triggering a trap, nobody would suspect her.

Even as she faced off with Xia Weizhang, Xia Weiyang didn’t tell her people to stop, and now Xia Weizhang was about to be beaten to death!

Just when Xia Weiyang thought victory was assured and Xia Weizhang’s death was certain, a rustling sound suddenly came from behind her.

Having traveled in the Burial God Tomb for so long, Xia Weiyang was no stranger to that sound.

Someone’s coming!

Xia Weiyang whipped around and saw Xia Mian supporting Song Juan, with Lu Zechuan, arrive from the east.

Behind Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan were an ordinary-looking middle-aged couple that inexplicably made Xia Weiyang sense danger.

"You really need discipline for that mouth of yours!" Xia Mian’s expression was cold, and as her words fell, she casually waved her hand.

With the wave of Xia Mian’s hand, the dried leaves beneath Xia Weiyang’s feet seemed to come alive, instantly spinning up and wrapping around Xia Weiyang.

The dense dry leaves wrapped Xia Weiyang tightly, her eyes widened, and the leaves pressed against her nose and mouth. She couldn’t breathe; her face turned red, her lungs nearly bursting...

Fear filled Xia Weiyang’s heart for the first time, her once fearless self.

She wanted to call for help, but her mouth was blocked by leaves; not a word could escape.

Why was this happening?

Here, she was just a regular person; how could Xia Mian still use magic?

And it was Wood Element Technique! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Wasn’t Xia Mian supposed to be Divine Clan? How could she use Wood Clan techniques?!

Xia Weiyang had countless questions, but she couldn’t seek the answers now as her brain began to lack oxygen, her vision darkening, drawing near to death.
