Chapter 816: Chapter 816: Encirclement

Elder Mo Li looked at Jing Yan and let out a long sigh.

However, he was quite straightforward, saying nothing more as he went straight to the stone table, picked up the Jade Cup, and drank it all in one gulp.

After a cup of Orchid Jade Essence, Mo Li felt as if a fire had ignited in his belly, and couldn’t help but smack his lips.

He was not yet satisfied!

"Excellent liquor!" exclaimed Mo Li.

"What kind of liquor is this?" Mo Li’s eyes gleamed as he asked Jing Yan.

Jing Yan smiled, "This drink is called Orchid Jade Essence, it’s quite rare. You definitely can’t buy it in Guangying County."

"No wonder I’ve never tasted it!" Mo Li nodded, "Can I have another cup?"

Mo Li directly handed his empty Jade Cup to Jing Yan.

"You’re really not shy!" Jing Yan rolled his eyes.

The Orchid Jade Essence was precious, and even a small cup of it might be worth more than all of Mo Li’s possessions. Yet Mo Li had downed one cup in a single gulp and was already craving another.

Nevertheless, Jing Yan poured Mo Li another cup.

After all, Mo Li was a friend of Bai Xue City Lord. Plus, Bai Xue originally entrusted Liu Xiaoyue to Mo Li at Feihua Academy, which showed that Bai Xue trusted Mo Li a great deal.

Also, from the brief interaction he had with Mo Li, it was evident that Mo Li possessed a certain level of responsibility. If it were someone without that sense of duty, they probably would have shied away from Liu Xiaoyue’s affairs by now.

Mo Li finished the second cup in one gulp as well.

"Such excellent liquor, truly excellent!" Mo Li’s gaze, burning with eagerness, was fixed on the jug on the stone table.

His expression made it clear that he wished to continue drinking.

"Elder Mo Li, two cups are enough. If you drink more, your body might not be able to handle it. A Daoist Realm Martial Artist can only drink up to two cups at a time," Jing Yan said, shaking his head.

He was not being stingy.

Although the Orchid Jade Essence was precious, it wasn’t that significant in Jing Yan’s eyes. He was speaking the truth.

Daoist Realm Martial Artists simply couldn’t handle the energy contained in more of the Orchid Jade Essence.

"Indeed, I also feel that this liquor is rather potent," Mo Li nodded, sensing that the flow of Primordial Energy within his Fog Vortex was beginning to accelerate.

In Guangying County, at the entrance of the Xu Family estate.

An Inner Academy Elder from Feihua Academy arrived in a great hurry.

"Quick, take me to your Clan Leader!" the elder ordered the Xu Family guard.

The Xu Family guard recognized the elder from Feihua Academy and, seeing his extremely anxious demeanor, naturally did not dare to be negligent. Without further inquiry, he ushered the elder into the family estate and headed straight for the Clan Leader’s private residence.

"Clan Leader Xu! Clan Leader Xu!" the elder cried out upon reaching the outer area of the Clan Leader’s residence.

"Whoosh!"

A figure dashed out from within the private residence—it was the Xu Family Patriarch.

"Elder Zhou, what has happened that you’re in such a hurry?" The Xu Family Patriarch looked at Elder Zhou and asked with a furrowed brow.

"A grave matter has arisen!"

"Clan Leader Xu, Young Master Xu Qiang is dead!" Elder Zhou took a deep breath.

Recalling the scene of Xu Qiang and Elder Xu Bo being slain, Elder Zhou couldn’t help but shiver. That Martial Artist named Jing Yan was too powerful; even Elder Xu Bo, who was in the Dao Spirit Realm, was killed by a single palm strike.

"What did you say?"

"How could Xu Qiang be dead? Wasn’t he in Feihua Academy? And what about Elder Xu Bo?" Clan Leader Xu obviously knew that today, Elder Xu Bo had gone to Feihua Academy to continue exerting pressure.

Xu Qiang was at Feihua Academy, and so was Elder Xu Bo, so how could Xu Qiang be dead? Moreover, if Xu Qiang were dead, Elder Xu Bo should have returned to the family to report at the first moment. Why was the news now being delivered by an Elder from Feihua Academy?

"Young Master Xu Qiang is dead, and so is Elder Xu Bo! Both of them are dead." Elder Zhou’s expression twisted.

"What exactly happened?" The Xu Family Elders’ eyes flashed with a vicious light.

Elder Zhou then narrated in detail the circumstances surrounding the death of the two men to the Xu Family Patriarch.

After listening to Elder Zhou’s account, the Xu Family Patriarch’s eyes filled with a cold intensity, as if the temperature of the surroundings dropped significantly. However, Clan Leader Xu slowly calmed down.

"So, this person named Jing Yan has high Martial Arts Cultivation?" Clan Leader Xu asked with narrowed eyes.

"Yes, this person’s Martial Arts Cultivation is indeed extremely high, most likely at the Daoist Master Realm. If it weren’t for his considerable strength, we at the academy would have dealt with him directly. Clan Leader Xu, what do you think we should do now?" Elder Zhou looked at Clan Leader Xu.

"Hmph, what to do? That person named Jing Yan dares to kill a member of my Xu Family, here in Guangying County! My Xu Family cannot let him leave unscathed. No matter how high his Cultivation is, he will not escape!" Clan Leader Xu said with a sneer.

Immediately, he summoned many of the Xu Family Elders and informed them all of Xu Qiang and company’s death.

"My grandson is dead?"

"Damn it! Where is that beast who killed my grandson?" The Great Elder of the Xu Family, after hearing the Patriarch’s words, cursed furiously, unable to contain his anger.

"That Jing Yan is still inside Feihua Academy at this moment; he can’t escape," Elder Zhou from Feihua Academy hurriedly said.

"Clan Leader, what are we waiting for? I must personally tear that little bastard into countless pieces!" The Great Elder said, overflowing with an aura of murder.

"Of course we cannot let that Martial Artist named Jing Yan go. However, you must all remember one thing: this person has extremely high Martial Arts Cultivation. According to Elder Zhou’s estimation, this person might be at the Daoist Master Realm. So when we meet him, we must be careful. If his Martial Arts Cultivation is indeed that high, then we will need to join forces!"

"Elder Zhou, if necessary, please lend a hand in dealing with that Jing Yan," Clan Leader Xu first instructed his family’s Elders and then turned to speak to Elder Zhou.

"Of course!" Elder Zhou nodded.

"Let’s go! Move out!" Clan Leader Xu gestured with a wave of his hand.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!"

Figures leapt rapidly out of the Xu Family’s estate, heading straight for Feihua Academy.

Before long, with fury in their air, the group entered Feihua Academy and made their way to the visitor’s area.

With Elder Zhou from the Academy leading the way, Clan Leader Xu and the others followed closely, all charging into the visitor’s area together.

"Clan Leader Xu, that Martial Artist in the green robe there is Jing Yan. The woman in red by his side came with him. As for Liu Xiaoyue, you all know her," Elder Zhou pointed at Jing Yan and the others seated around the stone table and introduced them to the Xu Family members.

"You little bastard, having killed my grandson, dare to sit here as if nothing has happened, leisurely enjoying a drink too! Despicable!" The Great Elder of the Xu Family, his Primordial Energy churning, stared maliciously at Jing Yan with bloodshot eyes.

Had it not been already known that Jing Yan might be a Daoist Master Realm Martial Artist, he probably would have charged at Jing Yan and struck him down right there.
