Di Yanxi entered the house. The servants who did not escape were burnt to a crisp by the fire. He narrowed his eyes and turned to head to the underground laboratory.
The metal door had been deformed by the fire, blocking the entrance completely. It was impossible for anyone to come out.
The butler kicked open the iron door. This was the source of the fire. The room was pitch black and the previous layout of the laboratory could no longer be seen.
Di Yanxi looked at the shattered glass bottles on the ground, as well as some sticky liquid. His good-looking eyebrows slightly furrowed, obviously, this place was attacked first, then set on fire.
"How could it be destroyed like this!" When the butler saw the scene in front of him, his entire face became pale white. He immediately cupped his fists towards Di Yanxi and said, "Master, it was this subordinate who took advantage of your protection. Master, please punish me!"
"Punishment?!" There was no smile on his face but only an ice-cold indifference as he said disdainfully, "The Di Clan has always been safe. If not for someone destroying them from the inside, outsiders would not have been able to take advantage of this situation.
The butler was stunned but soon his eyes were filled with fear.
"I was unable to protect the Di Clan well. I am willing to die, but I will not admit to colluding with foreign enemies. I have been following my master for so many years, I have never had any other intentions!" The butler knelt down heavily on the ground, allowing the glass fragments to pierce his knees. He only frowned slightly, but did not make a sound.
Di Yanxi quietly looked at the man kneeling in front of him.
The room instantly quieted down.
Rustle, rustle, rustle.
A small sound broke the strange atmosphere.
The butler quickly locked onto his target. He rolled to the side and lifted up the charred wooden board. There were two people inside: Aunt Zhang and Leng Qing.
Leng Qing was already on her last breath, but Aunt Zhang was looking at the butler with a frightened face. When she saw who it was, she secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
"Are you guys okay?" The butler quickly helped Aunt Zhang out and asked worriedly.
Aunt Zhang waved her hands and coughed nonstop. Her face was covered in dust from the black smoke and she forcefully pulled out the coldness around her.
"Look at her, I don't know if I can save her."
It was only then that the butler saw that Leng Qing's body was covered in burns and that he was dehydrated. If he was not saved in time, he would die in less than an hour.
"Send her to Xuanye's place." Di Yanxi said.
The butler nodded, picked up Leng Qing and rushed out of the basement, leaving Di Yanxi and Aunt Zhang behind.
"Explain." Di Yanxi's voice was light.
"Mistress." Aunt Zhang quickly stepped forward, knelt on one knee, and softly said, "I heard a sound in the underground laboratory, so I came to take a look. I didn't expect that someone would attack this place. In the chaos, I saved Miss Leng."
"Is that true?" His voice grew colder.
Aunt Zhang slightly hesitated for a moment, then tightly frowned and said: "Yes."
"Not the slightest bit of deception?"
"No!"
Di Yanxi stepped on the broken glass and walked to stand in front of Aunt Zhang, his bone-sharp hands quickly pinching her neck, and his voice was cold.
"Your disguise is very similar. You must have been secretly imitating it for a few months now." Di Yanxi said, "Unfortunately, you do not understand Aunt Zhang, much less Aunt Zhang's superpower.
"Mistress, I …" "I don't know what you're talking about …"
"Every member of the Di Clan has their own responsibilities. Even if there is any movement in the laboratory, Aunt Zhang will still report it to the butler. She definitely will not enter the underground laboratory without permission."
Aunt Zhang looked at Di Yanxi, and slightly shook her head, wanting to tell him that what he said was not true. Her face became even paler, and her entire body trembled in fear.
"I'm worried …"
"What are you worried about?" Di Yanxi pinched Aunt Zhang's neck, his strength gradually increasing by two points, and he laughed coldly, "If it's really like you said, your injuries should be the same as Leng Qing, but why is there not a single scar on your body?"
Hearing this, Aunt Zhang's frightened expression gradually faded. She tilted her head to look at the handsome man in front of her, and said with a low smile: "As expected of that year's King Xi, this little trick naturally cannot be hidden from you."
When Di Yanxi heard the two words "King Xi", his eyebrows rose slightly. There wasn't the slightest bit of surprise in his eyes, as he looked at Aunt Zhang like stagnant water.
"Heh, it seems that I've truly underestimated you." Aunt Zhang cracked her lips into a smile, revealing dark yellow teeth. Her mouth emitted an unpleasant smell, "So you already know our identities."
"Since ancient times, only the remnants of the Qin Clan have been able to oppose our Di Clan!" Di Yanxi squinted his eyes and laughed, but his laughter did not reach his eyes.
Aunt Zhang's neck was gradually sealed in ice, quickly extending to her entire body, leaving behind only her head.
An ice arrow quickly condensed in the air and pierced Aunt Zhang's forehead. With just a slight movement, the arrow would pierce through her skull.
"Where are the remnants of the Qin family?"
"Heh, even if you kill me, I won't tell you!" Aunt Zhang let out a strange laugh, "My master will definitely become the overlord of this era. Your Di Family can only wait to bear the anger that we had accumulated for so many years, and wait for our clan to be exterminated!"
"Heh." Di Yanxi looked at Aunt Zhang, her eyes were only a field of silence, which was so dark that it was hard to see any emotions, her beautiful lips slightly parted, and her voice was cold, "Until it's the last moment, it's not certain who will die, but you won't be able to see it."
The ice on Aunt Zhang's neck started to spread, tightly wrapping around the remaining part.
Before Aunt Zhang completely became an ice man, she used all her strength and shouted: "Why did I take advantage of the lack of talents from the Di Clan to attack the laboratory, have you thought about it?!"
A look of panic flashed across Di Yanxi's eyes, after that, he quickly turned around and left the laboratory. At the same time, the ice man behind him immediately shattered into ice shards that scattered onto the ground.
Just as he walked out of the hall, Di Yanxi received a message from Ye Xuanye. The medicine warehouse that he had hoarded was attacked, and by the time Ye Xuanye rushed over, the medicine warehouse was not preserved.
Both sides had lost quite a number of people. Judging from the number of casualties, the other side had mobilized close to two hundred people.
Di Yanxi hung up the phone and sent Little Kid a message. The other party quickly sent him an address.
"Daddy!" There was a hint of a sob in his voice.
The moment Di Yanxi appeared, he was hugged tightly by a soft and petite body.
"Where's Xiao Xi?"
"Just now, someone ambushed us and took Mama and the Little Uncle away. All I did was save my uncle and grandfather." Little Kid was no longer the same as the young adults before, with eyes full of fear and remorse. She lowered her head and did not dare to look at Di Yanxi, continuously sobbing, "Daddy, Mama will be okay, right?"
Hearing that, Di Yanxi's face turned cold and serious, his eyes that were as deep as the abyss became sharp and sinister, his entire body releasing a dangerous aura.
"Daddy, I was wrong. I didn't protect Mama well." Little Kid subconsciously shivered when he sensed the aura Di Yanxi's body was emitting.
"Where are your guards?" The voice was deep and low.
"One dead, six wounded, and the rest to investigate the whereabouts of Mama." Little Kid pursed his lips tightly, gulping down his saliva a few times before daring to speak, "This time around, more than thirty people came, and each of them have extremely powerful abilities."
Furthermore, I suspect that they were only testing our strength at that time, so the people they sent out this time are completely capable of suppressing the guards. If it wasn't for them looking down on my existence, even my uncle and grandfather would have been kidnapped by them. "
After Di Yanxi heard what the Little Kid said, Ling Rui's eyes revealed a ruthless and murderous intent.
