Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 231 Targeted
Xia Mian, however, did not think so and gently narrowed her eyes, "There’s something strange here."
Last time Xia Mian came here, the restriction didn’t affect her.
But now, she could feel that her body seemed a bit different from before.
"It seems someone has reset the restriction here." Lu Zechuan frowned; this time, the restriction didn’t particularly spare him either.
"We must leave here immediately!" Lu Zechuan decided decisively.
This was a hunt using Ding Cheng as bait.
And the targets were him and Xia Mian!
Xia Mian obviously had thought of this, and she stepped forward, grabbing Xia Weizhang by the arm, intending to drag Xia Weizhang out of Dry Wood Forest without a word.
However, as soon as she turned around, a peculiar laughter echoed from the Dry Wood Forest, "Want to leave now? Too late!"
Following the laughter, a person slowly emerged from behind an ancient tree in the forest.
Her whole body was shrouded in a black cloak, making it hard to see her appearance; the voice, however, suggested she was a woman.
Xia Mian frowned, her face full of vigilance.
"A genius has emerged from the Divine Clan!" The other party’s voice was very light, but the tone was full of mockery and sarcasm.
Xia Mian narrowed her eyes, scoffed lightly, "Where are you from, you little rat, hiding like this!"
The other party laughed heartily, "Rat? Little thing, when I was walking bravely in this world, you didn’t even know where you were floating!"
Xia Mian’s eyes turned slightly cold, the tone of the other party was arrogant, judging by the tone, perhaps from Xia Liang’s generation!
"Just because you lived long doesn’t mean you have real skills; maybe you’re just better at surviving!" Xia Mian sneered.
The other’s eyes suddenly turned cold, and under the black cloak, a pair of eyes were shadowy as ice, "Little thing with a sharp tongue, wait till I break those teeth of yours and see how arrogant you still are!"
With those words, the other suddenly flipped the cloak, and as it was lifted, a large number of gray mice surged out from beneath the cloak!
Seeing these mice rushing like a tide, Xia Mian’s expression changed immediately, "Beast Taming Clan!"
How could the people from the Beast Taming Clan appear on the Divine Clan’s territory?
Xia Mian had no time to think carefully, as the mice scrambling everywhere made her hair stand on end!
Time was of the essence, and she immediately puckered her lips to blow a whistle gently.
As a fluctuating whistle sounded from Xia Mian’s mouth, the rushing mice stopped simultaneously and began to circle in place.
"They were right, you indeed have some skills." The other’s voice was hoarse, seemingly unsurprised that Xia Mian could control the mouse tide.
Xia Mian did not engage in a war of words with the other but manipulated the mice to return and attack the woman hidden under the cloak!
The mice, eyes blood-red, seemed crazy as they rushed toward the woman, but at the moment they reached her feet, they let out a piercing wail.
"Useless creatures, wasted so much special food training you, yet you don’t recognize your master!" The woman cursed viciously from under the cloak.
Xia Mian gently narrowed her eyes; these mice were not native to Dry Wood Forest but were raised by this woman!
This realization made Xia Mian’s scalp tingle again, wondering what kind of person would raise mice... truly disgusting to the extreme!
The wails of the mice rose one after another, dying one by one at the woman’s feet, soon piling up into a mountain of mice, yet the woman remained indifferent, not blinking an eye.
"Girl from the Divine Clan, you’ve piqued my interest." The woman chuckled eerily, lifting the cloak with her ghastly pale hand and stepping forward.
As her foot fell on the dry leaves, it made a piercing creaking sound.
Xia Mian narrowed her eyes slightly, a dangerous aura emanating from her gaze.
This woman carried a heavy evil aura.
Somehow different from the Beast Taming Clan people she had encountered before.
"What a pity, the Divine Clan has been too showy these years, inciting public anger; the Hundred Families would love nothing more than to strangle a genius like you!" As the woman’s words fell, she gently flipped her palm.
As the woman’s palm flipped, the dry leaves on the ground instantly swirled up, forming a small tornado; those leaves, originally harmless, became sharply lethal once the tornado formed.
Comparable to daggers!
"Go!" The woman waved her palm, sending the small tornado sweeping toward Xia Mian!
"Watch out, cousin sister!" Xia Weizhang’s eyes widened abruptly.
He wasn’t foolish; things had reached this point and he was almost certain this was a plot against them!
With his heart nearly in his throat, he saw Xia Mian remained unmoved, disregarding the other’s attack, lightly stamping the ground with her left foot, and her thin lips moved, "Gale!"
As soon as Xia Mian uttered these words, a gale arose, sweeping up all the dry leaves on the ground to form an impenetrable barrier, which wrapped around the approaching tornado, enveloping it completely!
The leaves churned wildly, then shattered into powder that fluttered to the ground.
A subtle, amused smile appeared at the corners of the woman’s lips inside the black cloak, "Interesting."
The magic she used was learned quickly by the other, who not only mastered it but improved upon it to counter her!
Xia Mian smiled slightly, the bright smile provoking the woman’s eyes, "There are many interesting things."
No matter who the other was, it was a fact that they harbored hostility and devised a plan to lead her here.
Xia Mian no longer wasted words on the other, flicked her fingertips, and the soil beneath the cloaked woman loosened, a strand of earth burst forth, flipping the cloaked woman to the ground.
The woman’s hood slipped off, revealing her face.
Looking at the face in front of her, Xia Mian gently narrowed her eyes once again.
This face was familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.
"Huh, you can still wield your magic here." The woman stood up, patted the dirt off herself, and laughed lightly, "No wonder so many from the Hundred Families have their eyes on you."
A monster like this, if successful in inheriting the Divine Master’s position, would elevate the Divine Clan, making it difficult for the Hundred Families ever to rise!
She must be killed while in the cradle!
The woman’s words made Xia Mian’s eyes flicker slightly.
So many from the Hundred Families have focused on her?
Since when did this happen? 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
She had been in the Divine Clan for less than a week, and her identity had only spread in the last day or two, so why had she so quickly become a thorn in other’s sides?
