Chapter 745
Watching the man go about his business, Xue Feng slowly approached Zheng Xiao.
By now, Zheng Xiao had regained a fair amount of consciousness. She stared at her bonds, still not fully grasping the situation.
"Why did you tie me up?! Hurry up and let me go!" Zheng Xiao frowned, struggling incessantly.
Xue Feng said slowly, "Zheng Xiao, I’m going to ask you a question, and you must answer honestly."
Zheng Xiao looked at Xue Feng, her face full of displeasure. "It’s one thing for you to help me for no reason, but now you want to question me? As if!"
Zheng Xiao had only a vague memory of her recent attack on Xue Feng.
Xue Feng knew the Demonic Qi had just taken control of her mind, so he didn’t hold it against her.
"Tell me," Xue Feng asked directly, "while we were gone just now, did Ye Qingchen’s people come to see you? Were they in your courtyard?"
Upon hearing the question, Zheng Xiao suddenly became enraged. "That little bitch had the nerve to treat me like this! Don’t let me see that bitch again! If I do, I’ll make sure she pays dearly for it!"
Although Zheng Xiao didn’t directly answer Xue Feng’s question, her words confirmed that Ye Qingchen’s people had indeed been there.
"My lord, we would not dare lie to you about this! Just look at how angry my daughter is. This incident was definitely Ye Qingchen’s doing!" Zheng Ming hurried over upon seeing the scene.
Xue Feng glanced at him indifferently. "Family Head Zheng, I’m just inquiring about the situation. I don’t know the full story yet. Let’s wait for Ye Qingchen to arrive."
Zheng Ming could only snort coldly. "Let them come! We’ll see if they’re still smiling when they get here!"
Soon, Ye Qingchen arrived with Xiao Xiao.
"Brother Xue, what’s so urgent that you called us here?" Ye Qingchen asked as he approached.
Xue Feng nodded at him. "Brother Ye, I’m terribly sorry. We encountered an unexpected incident during our investigation and wanted to ask for your help."
Hearing this, Zheng Ming couldn’t contain his impatience and shouted, "What help?! Ye Qingchen is the prime culprit! We called you here to capture you!"
Zheng Ming’s shout caught Ye Qingchen’s attention, and he frowned in his direction.
At this moment, Xiao Xiao, who was following Ye Qingchen, immediately saw the bound Zheng Xiao. Seeing her tied up and noting Xue Feng’s demeanor, she instantly guessed what was happening.
It’s just as I thought. The Zheng Family is about to meet its end!
Zheng Xiao felt this mocking gaze and looked up to see Xiao Xiao standing not far away, which agitated her even more.
"You two wretches! How dare you come to our home! Someone! Guards! Get over here and seize them for me!"
Zheng Xiao struggled, trying to command her family’s servants to capture Ye Qingchen and Xiao Xiao. However, no one present paid her any attention. Seeing that not a single person was obeying her, Zheng Xiao’s fury intensified.
"You damned dogs! Hurry up and grab them for me! That bastard is an animal! Are you all dead? Get moving!"
Zheng Xiao struggled and cursed, her eyes growing redder and redder as she glared at Xiao Xiao.
Xiao Xiao watched her deterioration, utterly unmoved.
"Well, Brother Ye, a member of the Zheng Family has succumbed to demonic cultivation, but Family Head Zheng insists you’re the masterminds behind it. He even threatened to commit suicide. I had no choice but to ask you to come," Xue Feng explained to Ye Qingchen.
Ye Qingchen didn’t seem to care much about the matter and simply laughed. "This Family Head Zheng gave me a treasure last night, then tried and failed to have me killed. Now, out of desperation, he’s resorting to this!"
Ye Qingchen didn’t know the specifics of how Zheng Xiao had succumbed to demonic cultivation, but he suspected it was related to Elder Cui. After all, Elder Cui had promised to make the Zheng Family pay the price.
Xue Feng was taken aback by this revelation. After hearing Ye Qingchen’s words, a piercing aura began to emanate from him.
"Brother Ye, I naturally believe you have nothing to do with this, but you’ll need to cooperate with me and put on a little show. Once I get them back to the Xue Family, they’ll confess whether they want to or not," Xue Feng suggested.
Ye Qingchen nodded. "No problem. Leave it to us."
BOOM!
At that moment, Zheng Xiao, her eyes bloodshot, violently shook off the guards holding her.
"Bitches! All of you are bitches! I’ll kill you all! But first, I’ll kill that little bitch next to Ye Qingchen!"
This sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard. By the time they recovered, Zheng Xiao had already extended her claws, lunging at Xiao Xiao.
"Die!" Zheng Xiao yelled as a ball of black Energy gathered in her hands. With her shout, the ball of Energy shot violently toward Xiao Xiao.
A smug smile crossed Zheng Xiao’s face, her lips curling slightly, as if she could already see Xiao Xiao being blown to smithereens.
But just then, Xiao Xiao suddenly vanished, reappearing directly behind Zheng Xiao.
"What?"
The expression on Zheng Xiao’s face froze. She turned her head in disbelief to see Xiao Xiao standing before her, clad in a long white dress.
At that moment, Xiao Xiao’s eyes were filled with a murderous intent so intense that it made Zheng Xiao feel terrified and breathless.
What is happening?
Zheng Xiao was filled with doubt. She wanted to run but found herself unable to move an inch. The space around her seemed to have solidified, rendering her struggles futile.
Zheng Xiao knew she had encountered a formidable adversary.
Just as she was stricken with terror, a red gleam flashed in Xiao Xiao’s eyes, and the power of the Vermilion Bird Holy Soul emerged.
Xiao Xiao’s Energy surged like a cannonball, slamming violently into Zheng Xiao.
"Ah!"
Zheng Xiao screamed. She never imagined Xiao Xiao would unleash such pure Energy against her, nor did she expect her to be so astonishingly fast. Before she could react, the attack had already struck her squarely.
Zheng Xiao was propelled forcefully into the air. Her body drew an arc before crashing heavily to the ground.
She spat out a mouthful of blood. The brutal impact pinned her to the earth, leaving her unable to even turn over.
