1224 Learning About the Yun Family (5)
“Roar…” The roar of a wild beast spread throughout the entire night sky, alerting all the villagers of Twilight Village. The huge body of the Fire Cloud Wolf appeared and its wolf eyes that were glittering with killing intent stared at Zhou Zhigao, who was trembling. Zhou Zhigao was stuttering with a trembling voice right now and he couldn’t say a complete sentence!
“I don’t just have ores.” Yun Feng lowered her black eyes. The Fire Cloud Wolf had already opened its mouth wide and pounced on the dumbfounded Zhou Zhigao. Instantly, flames rose everywhere!
Zhou Zhigao’s screams were completely swallowed by the giant red fire. In the end, only his burnt body was left on the ground. Little Fire glanced at him in disdain. “Master, I feel disgusted dealing with such scum.”
Yun Feng chuckled. What Zhou Zhigao said just then convinced her a lot. The Jiang family of Jiang City had already attacked the Yun family! Yun Feng slowly walked out of the yard and looked at the cold moon in the bright night sky. Little Fire jumped next to Yun Feng. Yun Feng whispered, “Little Fire, Twilight Village seems a bit cold tonight.”
!!
Little Fire grinned and showed its shiny wolf eyes. “So, what do you think, Master?”
Yun Feng looked in a certain direction and her red lips curled up. “Of course, we have to add fuel to the fire and warm Twilight Village up.”
The next day, the old man and the little girl woke up and found that Yun Feng and the others had already left. Looking at the few glittering ores on the table, the old man’s heart tightened. He hated himself for sleeping so soundly last night. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he heard the news that spread overnight in Twilight Village. The Zhou family, which had been domineering in Twilight Village because of the Jiang family, had already turned into ruins last night! Everyone died in this inexplicable fire!
The old man was shocked after hearing that. He couldn’t help but look at the few ores in his hand. His eyes glittered and a beautiful face appeared in his mind. Girl, who exactly are you?
The area outside of the circle of power was very vast. In this vast area, there were branches of families of all sizes and countless villages scattered on it. However, in terms of real strength, these ten cities were each controlled by a large family. This large family also governed the relevant areas around their respective cities, as if they were autonomous. They had absolute autonomy. The ten cities didn’t interfere with each other, but they couldn’t guarantee that they would be friendly with each other.
The relatively larger families in this area had a lot of mobility. Some families could reach the sky in a single step through the selection, and there would certainly be families in the Inner Region that were ostracized because of this. It could be said that the status of the large families in the ten cities was also flexible. No family would rather stay in such a place forever. The large families all wanted to enter the Inner Region, especially those families that were ostracized from the Inner Region.
Some of the families in the Ten Cities were controlled by families that were ostracized in the Inner Region, while some were born and raised in this area. These local families certainly didn’t take the families from the Inner Region seriously and also looked down on these families from the bottom of their hearts. To put it bluntly, they thought they were better than such families. The Jiang family in Jiang City was such a local family.
The Jiang family was born and raised in this area and their roots were also here. Naturally, they had much better strength, connections and even background than outsiders. The Jiang family had lived in this area for at least a few centuries and it had grown larger after generations. The thoughts that hadn’t been stirred in the last few centuries were also stirring right now. The Jiang family thought very highly of their own people in the selection this time. They thought that the Jiang family would definitely be able to squeeze into the Inner Region this time. Once they squeezed into the Inner Region, they would certainly be above others!
When the Master of the Jiang family was looking forward to the start of the selection this time, news came very soon. The Zhou family of the Twilight Village had been exterminated overnight. This news made the Master of the Jiang family frown slightly. The Zhou family of the Twilight Village was just a dog of the Jiang family. The Jiang family didn’t suffer any loss even if they were exterminated. As for dogs, there would certainly be another one if one of them died.
After hearing that, the Master of the Jiang family only waved his hand indifferently and didn’t take it to heart at all. After the person who reported the news retreated, a young man slowly walked in from outside. His body figure looked extremely gentle and beautiful, with a feminine feeling. Even though his facial features were those of a man, he exuded a feminine aura. Even when he spoke, he sounded exactly like a woman.
To put it bluntly, he was a real sissy.
“Father, do you know the news about the Zhou family of Twilight Village?” The man said as he sat on the chair on the side. His form and movements were exactly the same as those of a woman. He even curled his fingers slightly.
The Master of the Jiang family, who was sitting in the main seat, glanced at the young man and could only sigh in his mind. If the person in front of him wasn’t his son, one of the main figures of the Jiang family in the selection this time, he really wanted to slap him to death! His son was clearly a man. How did he become like this?
“Jianping, can’t you change your clothes? How can you wear clothes that only women wear all the time?”
Jiang Jianping chuckled and put his hand in front of his lips. “Father, I’ve said it many times. I like it.”
The Master of the Jiang family could only take a deep breath through his nostrils and suppress the anger in his heart before he said, “I know about the Zhou family. It’s just a dog that died. You don’t have to take it to heart. You have to focus on preparing for the selection right now. By then, the Jiang family will depend on you!”
Jiang Jianping chuckled again. “Father, don’t worry about that. However, I found out something unusual about the cause of the Zhou family’s extermination overnight.”
The Master of the Jiang family raised his brows impatiently. If the Zhou family was dead, so be it. Why was his son so persistent? “What other reason can there be? If they’re dead, so be it!”
“Father, the people of Twilight Village heard the clear roar of a Magic Beast that night.”
“What did you say? A Magic Beast!” The Master of the Jiang family looked surprised. How could there be a Magic Beast in that small Twilight Town? That wasn’t a place where Magic Beasts appeared at all! There shouldn’t be a Magic Beast in Twilight Town at all. It was impossible for it to break in by mistake!
“Yes, it’s definitely the sound of a Magic Beast. Then, the Zhou family was destroyed in a fire. Don’t you think it’s a bit strange, father? Also… a few unfamiliar faces came to Twilight Village that day.”
