"Since we don't know what kind of powerful warriors he has, we should send more men to kill him. In the end, the one who will lose is us, the Shi family!"

Shi Zhi Yuan's eyes narrowed and darkened.

"Are we just going to swallow this down?"

Shi Minghao's eyes flickered with an unwilling look. Killing Xiao Jiu had originally seemed such a simple matter, but now, it had become complicated because of the protection of this trash.

If he could kill Xiao Jiu, then even if he returned to the Shi family, he would have a great contribution to make.

However, from the looks of it, the matter was not easy to handle.

"It's naturally impossible to swallow this down. Our Shi family and the Xiao family are enemies. Since that trash has been protected, we can start from other things! "

Shi Zhi Yuan's expression turned cold. A trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes.

"Where do you want to start? Elder Shi, please finish your words!"

When Shi Minghao heard this, he spoke up.

"Simple. Attack the people from the Xiao Clan in the Blazing Mountain and force them to hand over this trash!"

A sinister look flashed across Shi Zhi Yuan's eyes. When Shi Ming Hao heard this, a trace of light flashed across his eyes.

"I've heard that this time, the one leading the group is Xiao Qing He. This person's cultivation is only weak compared to yours. We can indeed take action against the Xiao Clan." Perhaps in the end, both of them would suffer. After all, no matter what is said, Xiao Jiu is the young master of the Xiao family.

Although Shi Minghao felt that this method was feasible, he knew in his heart that it wouldn't be difficult to threaten the Xiao family. To hand over the young master was undoubtedly an enormous humiliation to the Xiao family.

"Young Master Ming Hao's words are wrong. I guess the Xiao family wouldn't fight with us for a trash." The group of people that Xiao Jiu had left the Xiao family earlier were also excluded because of this. This time, we are attacking from the east and forcing them to hand over Xiao Jiu, there is no need to fear that they won't accept it! "

Shi Zhi Yuan shook his head with a cunning look on his face.

"Elder Shi's words make sense. We will do as you say, but there is no rush. We will reach Fire Valley in two days!" It's true that killing Xiao Jiu was a great contribution, but to obtain a Saint Beast and even obtain only one item from a Saint Beast, that's much more than killing Xiao Jiu! "

Shi Minghao nodded and said.

"Young Master Ming Hao is right. When we arrive at the Blazing Flame Valley, we will meet the people from the Xiao family. We will ask them for the person then!" "The reason is that Xiao Chen killed a disciple of our Shi family!"

"Very good! It's been decided! "

As he said this, Shi Minghao finally made up his mind. He punched the tabletop as if he had made a great decision.

Over the past two days, dozens of Shi Clan disciples had died because of the Xiao Clan, including the three guards chiefs of the Shi Clan and three guards chiefs. They were all Core Formation powerhouses, yet they had actually died.

"We're heading towards Flame Valley now. What's the situation there?"

This was the most important matter. With the appearance of a Saint Beast, if they could obtain a Saint Beast or even the corpse of a Saint Beast, then the Shi family's strength would be greatly increased.

"It's an injured Saint Beast. It's sealed by a seal. The exact level is unknown and its aura isn't strong." It seemed to be trying to break out of the restriction. Unfortunately, the Flame Valley can only be entered by martial artists below the third level of Core Formation. We can only wait outside! "

Shi Zhiyuan looked worried as he spoke.

No matter which Holy Beast took advantage of the competition this time, it would still affect the strength of the Cyanwood City, and even the cities that were located in the Cyanwood City.

Saint Beasts were almost all treasures, but the most precious one was obviously the blood essence of Saint Beasts. As long as a drop of blood essence from a Saint Beast, it would allow a clan to produce a Core Formation Stage powerhouse, and also allow the person who consumed the blood essence to safely reach the Aurous Core stage.

In other words, a single drop of blood essence from a Saint Beast was equivalent to an Aurous Core stage expert. If he could obtain a few hundred drops of blood essence from a Saint Beast, then he would be able to mass produce an Aurous Core stage expert. This was an extremely terrifying matter.

In addition, the skin of a Saint Beast could be used to refine armor that allowed for invulnerability. The flesh of a Saint Beast was a great tonic that could even increase one's cultivation.

"That is something that we can't do anything about. Previously, in order to keep this a secret, we didn't dare to bring too many people with us, so we let you come." In the past two days, so many things had happened in the Blazing Mountain. The outside world probably already knew about it. Even the Lin Clan of Full Moon City and the Bai Clan of White Bone City are here, as well as the Mu Clan of Great Desolate City! "

Shi Minghao's expression was somewhat grave. This time, there was bound to be a game in hand, and he was determined to obtain the Saint Beast. He absolutely could not fall into the hands of others.

In the past two days, Blazing Mountain could be said to be very lively. Because the activity within Blazing Mountain was getting more and more intense, more and more demon beasts were escaping from the Blazing Mountain.

Some warriors with ordinary cultivations had already died under the claws of the demon beasts. Some warriors with high cultivations had bad luck and encountered powerful demon beasts, thus, they had lost their lives.

As for Xiao Jiu, he was the only one who had not been in danger from the demon beasts. If he told them, perhaps no one would believe him. The demon beasts of the Blazing Mountain seemed to be afraid of Xiao Jiu, and even deliberately avoided him.

After a day of physical training, Xiao Jiu found a place to have a good sleep. At night, the beasts outside were rampant, but it had nothing to do with Xiao Jiu.

When he woke up, it was already the next morning.

Although it had only been a few days, Xiao Jiu's body had undergone a tremendous change. If one didn't look at his face, even Xiao Yu'er might not be able to recognize him.

Because of the increase in his body's strength, he now looked somewhat strong and strong. His skin was a healthy bronze color, and the softness of his face was no longer visible.

Even though he was only at the first level of Qi Refining, with his physical strength, the Heaven Punisher ancient sword, and his experience as the world's number one assassin, dealing with martial artists below the Core Formation Stage was still an easy task.

It would be slightly troublesome to deal with a Core Formation Stage powerhouse. For example, when dealing with the number one guard captain of the Shi family, Xiao Jiu had to put in a lot of effort.

If he were to face a third level Core Formation expert, he wouldn't have absolute confidence.

However, the youths of the various families in the Blazing Mountain all had cultivations below the third level of the Core Formation Stage. In this world, there was almost no one other than those Elders rank powerhouses that could threaten Xiao Jiu.

Because he had no spiritual liquid to consume, Xiao Chen could only rely on his deep sleep to relieve the fatigue in his body.

Xiao Jiu stretched his body and then stood up. He yawned and took out the dagger he carried with him. That dagger was something he had casually used to defend himself in his clan. It was just an ordinary metal dagger.

Because there had been too many deaths in the past few days, the dagger already had some obvious holes in it. Although this dagger had the support of the fragment of the Ancient Heaven Punisher Sword, because it was too weak, it still could not withstand such a severe test.

From the looks of it, it was time to change a suitable spirit weapon. However, even a Common Tier Low Rank spiritual weapon would require at least three thousand silver coins. The highest price for a Middle Tier spiritual weapon could even exceed ten thousand silver coins.

Thinking of this, Xiao Jiu suddenly felt a headache.

It was still a matter of money. Without money, he couldn't even afford a high-grade Common Tier spiritual weapon. The price of a high-grade spiritual weapon was usually above fifty thousand silver coins.

He had never thought that he would end up like this even though he was the No. 1 assassin in the world. Indeed, a single cent was enough to make a hero out of a man. Shaking his head, Xiao Jiu seemed to not want to think about these things anymore as he gripped the dagger in his hand.

"It's dawn. It's time to go out and kill someone!"

He hid the dagger in his hand and left the cave. The previous day was rather quiet, and the people of the Shi family didn't come to send off their heads. This made Xiao Jiu's income close to zero.

"The Shi family, I'm afraid that if you don't cause trouble for me, I won't cause trouble for you." I have said it before, of your Shi family, if even one of you manage to leave Blazing Mountain alive, it will be my loss! "

As Xiao Jiu spoke softly, his figure flashed through the forest, disappearing into it without a trace. If someone were to see Xiao Jiu's actions, they would definitely be extremely surprised. He was only at the first level of Qi Refining, how could his speed be so fast?

The movement skill of concealing one's tracks was too weird. He was like a living man, disappearing from sight in an instant.

Another six hours passed. Xiao Jiu was shuttling back and forth in the forest. The originally white and clean dagger was already covered in blood, and his clothes were already soaked through with it.

On the other side, the Shi family had started to go crazy again.

On this day, all of the disciples of their families mysteriously disappeared and all kinds of bizarre deaths occurred. There were originally three hundred members of the Shi family, but now over a hundred of them had died. If this went on, perhaps no one in the Shi family would be able to leave the Blazing Mountain alive.

"Bang …"

In the Shi family's camp, Shi Minghao smacked the table, breaking the table in front of him. His face was ashen, and his body was trembling.

Obviously, he was angry.

"What's going on?"

Shi Minghao asked Shi Zhiyuan.

"We still don't know who did it. This morning, we lost dozens of our family's disciples. These are the family's pride and hope. They just died in a weird way. Furthermore, when they found their corpses, all of their money had been plundered away. "

Shi Zhi Yuan pondered for a moment before slowly speaking. If he continued to be killed like this, there wouldn't be much left in the Blazing Flame Valley.

It would be very awkward if he didn't bring them back. On the one hand, it was embarrassing, but on the other hand, if all the people he brought died here, then he would be blamed for it.

"If this goes on, our people will all die sooner or later. The only way for us to put pressure on the Xiao family and make them hand over that piece of trash, Xiao Jian, will be for the person beside him to come out as well. When that time comes, Elder Shi will personally take care of him! "

Shi Minghao's eyes were filled with a dark ruthlessness as he coldly spoke. He had clearly been forced into a corner. Shi Zhiyuan was leading the team this time, but if everyone died, then he would also be blamed.
