Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 232: Surprise

"It’s the Heavenly Maiden Clan who did it!" Xia Weizhang’s expression suddenly changed, instantly realizing something.

"The Heavenly Maiden Clan was driven away by the Young Master, but he did not harm their lives..." Xia Weizhang’s lips moved slightly, "But the Heavenly Maiden Clan has never been a magnanimous race. This time, since someone from the Heavenly Maiden Clan died in our Divine Clan, they will surely seek revenge and vent their anger!"

Xia Mian quietly sighed in her heart. Whom did she provoke? Having been reborn, she only wanted to live peacefully with those she cared about, but why has life become more and more absurd and fantastical?

"You seem to have a pretty good head on your shoulders." The woman sneered with a curl of her lips, "The Heavenly Maiden Clan holds a very special position among the Hundred Families, and you Divine Clan members have become increasingly arrogant over the years, disregarding other clans. Despite being your in-laws, you killed someone from the Heavenly Maiden Clan at will?"

After speaking, the woman looked coldly at Xia Mian, "The Heavenly Maiden Clan has already issued a bounty among the Hundred Families. Anyone who can kill Xia Mian will receive a thousand Heavenly Spirit Stones. Anyone who can kill Xia Zhun will receive ten thousand... and whoever can kill Xia Liang can pick any woman from the Heavenly Maiden Clan as they wish!"

"Kill me for a thousand Heavenly Spirit Stones?" Xia Mian chuckled lightly, "I’m really cheap!"

After saying this, Xia Mian stomped her foot again, and this time, the mountain whipped up a storm, the clouds hung low, thunder rolled, and lightning flashed, with a storm looming!

The woman’s face instantly changed, looking up in panic, "You..."

Wasn’t she just a poor little thing from the current world?

Wasn’t this cheap Divine Clan young lady supposed to be the easiest to handle?

Now, as this girl beckoned the wind with her left hand and summoned thunder with her right, stomping to make the ground tremble, glaring to make a whirlwind arise, she didn’t look easy to provoke at all!

"Me? I’m your ancestor!" Xia Mian bared her teeth, saying with a false smile, suddenly pressing her hand down.

Winds surged, thunder and lightning struck towards the woman.

Xia Weizhang watched the horrifying scene before him, swallowing a gulp of saliva.

His concern was misplaced.

How could Xia Mian have any trouble? This person even kept the Divine Master under control!

In the Dry Wood Forest, there were many withered trees. When lightning struck the withered branches, sparks immediately flew.

But eerily, the sparks extinguished with a sizzle, as if encountering cold water.

Lu Zechuan lightly furrowed his brow, sensing that the plants here were very peculiar, as if they were unafraid of fire!

Xia Mian’s gaze also furrowed slightly. Not being afraid of fire was indeed quite convenient. She feared that if her strikes were inaccurate, it might cause a forest fire. Now, she could unleash her power to strike down that woman who thought she was easy to handle!

Xia Mian moved her fingers once more, and streaks of lightning fell again, causing the woman to dodge left and right, appearing extremely disheveled.

There was no trace left of her high and mighty demeanor from earlier.

"A thousand Spirit Stones for my life? Bah!" Xia Mian waved her hand, and lightning aimed directly at the woman’s head, striking down.

"I’ll take your life now!" Xia Mian waved her hand again, and lightning exploded beneath the woman’s feet.

The woman, while dodging, fell to the ground in embarrassment, her head covered with fallen leaves.

"Xia Mian!" The woman was enraged. She, for all her status as an elder within the Beast Taming Clan, was being held down by Xia Mian like this, her dignity utterly shattered!

"Your grandma is right here!" Xia Mian sneered lightly, adopting a proud demeanor.

Who dared to come and try to kill her? Just any stray cat or dog?

"I’ll destroy you!" The woman shot up, her body leaping into the air, her hand forming a claw. Sharp nails shone with a hint of dark green under the sunlight.

Around those dark green nails, there seemed to be a swirling layer of black mist.

Xia Mian glanced casually, immediately realizing the mystery hidden in those nails.

If she were scratched by those claw-like hands, she would most likely be poisoned!

Just as this thought emerged, Lu Zechuan’s brows slightly furrowed, and in the next moment, a verdant vine from a withered tree stretched out, swiftly coiling around the woman’s waist.

The woman, caught off guard in midair, was bizarrely held suspended by the vine.

"Wretched creature!" The woman cursed, her nails scratching the vine with a scream like a human’s wail, and the entire vine turned ashen, quickly crumbling to dust.

Xia Mian’s eyes showed a hint of surprise; this woman was truly venomous!

If she were scratched by her, her life would be forfeited!

Xia Mian immediately became fully alert, "Heaven and Earth Shield!"

Xia Mian drew a symbol in the void with her fingers, and a defense talisman formed in mid-air, faintly taking the shape of a shield.

The woman was blocked by the shield, unable to advance.

The woman’s eyes flashed with gloom, glaring at Xia Mian as if she wanted to devour her.

She hadn’t expected to face such misfortune!

As her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of Xia Weizhang, who had turned pale beside her, the woman suddenly changed her direction and attacked Xia Weizhang.

Xia Weizhang was startled, instinctively leaning backward.

In almost an instant, the woman swept past, grazing his scalp!

Xia Weizhang’s hair immediately stood up; the woman was taking advantage of him having lost his cultivation in the Dry Wood Forest!

Xia Mian waved her hand, casting a talisman over Xia Weizhang. When the woman tried to attack Xia Weizhang again, she found an invisible barrier surrounding him.

Like a wall of iron, she couldn’t penetrate it!

Even her poisoned claws couldn’t breach this barrier!

The woman’s assessment of Xia Mian soared to a new height.

Xia Mian, this woman, really could push the Divine Clan to new heights!

Therefore, the Heavenly Maiden Clan was right; if Xia Mian lived, a knife would hang over the heads of the Mystical Sects’ Hundred Families, and no one knew when it would slice down!

The woman narrowed her eyes, slowly retreating.

Although she was proud and self-sufficient, she always left room for maneuver.

Since she couldn’t kill Xia Mian now, she would retreat first and seek another opportunity later.

But just as the woman moved her foot, a cold mockery echoed from outside the Dry Wood Forest, "Since you’re here, don’t leave!"

As the voice fell, Xia Liang’s figure gradually emerged from behind an old tree.

Given the commotion earlier in the Dry Wood Forest, there was no way Xia Liang could fail to notice something was amiss.

Moreover, fearing Xia Mian would sneak out of the Divine Clan while he wasn’t watching, he’d been secretly monitoring her movements.

He hadn’t shown himself earlier because he wanted to see just how many more surprises his unexpected granddaughter might bring him.

The surprise was truly astounding!

In the Dry Wood Forest, which imposed restrictions on the Divine Clan, Xia Mian could still perform her Magic, with barely any impact!

This was the Dry Wood Forest, and any conflict here could be quite detrimental to the Divine Clan’s members!
