The young lady might be somewhat lower than Third Master in internal power, but she completely made up for this deficiency with her sword techniques. Even in combat power, she was much higher. Even if Third Master hadn't given her the initiative earlier, she could still suppress him.

"Stop!" Seeing this situation, Luo Yunqing called out to stop it. If it continued, only Third Master would lose, which would be very unsightly. Moreover, this young lady didn't seem to have much hostility.

"Alright, let's stop here for now," Third Master also knew continuing was meaningless, so he stopped. That young lady also stopped, she hadn't really wanted to defeat Third Master.

"Miss, you just said you only wanted to come in. What do you want to come in for?" Luo Yunqing asked.

"I want to find someone," that young lady said.

"Who are you looking for?" Luo Yunqing asked.

"Le Xiaoyao. They said asking the king would be clearest," that young lady looked at Luo Yunqing. "Are you the king here?"

"Le Xiaoyao... Xiaoyao, he..." Luo Yunqing and Third Master exchanged glances. They hadn't expected this young lady to be looking for Xiaoyao. How come all the people Xiaoyao knew were so strong? This young lady's power level was no less than that Wang Yanyu.

...

...

Wang Yanyu had backing, while this young lady had absolute strength. Once she grew up, she would definitely be someone who could contend for dominance over the world!

"I recently lost contact with him. He last said he was with the Luo family. I went to the Luo family, and the Luo family people said the Luo family head had become king, telling me to ask the king," the young lady said.

Went to the Luo family? This meant the Luo family had also been broken into by her. Then why was there no news?

Just then, news came from the Luo family side, saying a young lady had come and knocked down a bunch of Luo family guards, asking about Xiaoyao.

This news came quite timely, but it also showed this young lady's speed was quite fast. Her journey from the Luo family to here, plus the time spent breaking in, was faster than the Luo family's message transmission speed.

"I am the Luo family head. What's your relationship with Xiaoyao?"

"He's my servant," the young lady said.

"Servant? You're the boss he mentioned?" Third Master suddenly remembered what Xiaoyao often talked about. Xiaoyao always said he was a servant with only one boss.

"Yes. I'm called Guxing, his boss. May I ask, where is he now... Hmm? They came too?"

The young lady was Guxing. When her messenger eagle flew to Xiaoyao's side as usual and didn't get Xiaoyao's response, messenger eagles generally would fly back to their master's side after a few days of no response from the other party.

The first time might be explained as Xiaoyao being too busy, but there was already something wrong about it. Xiaoyao had never failed to reply to her. When the second time was the same, this made Guxing directly choose to come to Flowing Moon City, the last place Xiaoyao had told her about.

Just as Guxing was about to ask where Xiaoyao was, she suddenly sensed several familiar auras. She understood that some people, like herself, had come looking for Xiaoyao.

"They?" Luo Yunqing and others were somewhat puzzled. Were more people coming? From this young lady's meaning, these people hadn't arranged this beforehand either, but should all be acquaintances.

That is to say, they were also Xiaoyao's acquaintances. Who knew if these "they" would be equally astonishing.

Luo Yunqing had just started thinking about this question when the answer immediately appeared. Regardless of anything else, their manner of appearance was shocking enough.

"Screech..."

A phoenix cry came from the sky. Everyone looked up and saw a black bird circling in the air, then the black bird dove down and landed on the ground.

Only then did everyone discover there were three young ladies on the black bird, all not very old, each absolutely beautiful and captivating. However, because Guxing was there first, this wasn't too shocking, but it wasn't without shock either, after all, three appeared at once.

"Seventh Sister, how are you faster than us? To get here quickly, I even stole a black bird."

A young lady came down, speaking very boldly. From these words, this black bird didn't belong to her but was stolen by her.

This young lady was naturally the Young Miss. Only she could call Guxing like this. The other two were the Nangong sisters. Their reason for coming here was the same as Guxing's, they had all discovered Xiaoyao had no news and came over.

Although Xiaoyao might sometimes not want to talk with them, he would at least reply with "hello" or "talk later", at least a few words.

But they had all sent out messenger eagles, and none of their eagles had returned. This made them very worried, all feeling they needed to come take a look. The Young Miss, to get here faster, directly stole White Deer Academy's black bird. This was White Deer Academy's treasure, stealing it like this would probably result in severe punishment from White Deer Academy.

However, the Young Miss didn't care about this matter. At the same time, the other two also agreed with doing this, the faster the better.

It was thanks to the black bird's speed that they could come so quickly. Originally the Young Miss thought she should be fastest, but unexpectedly Guxing was even faster.

Originally they wouldn't have come so openly, but discovering Guxing's aura, they came directly.

"I was in nearby Nanxia Kingdom," Guxing replied.

"So that's how. I wondered how you'd be faster than me. But Nanxia Kingdom seems quite close to here too. How did you get here?" the Young Miss asked.

"Ran here," Guxing replied indifferently.

"..."

Everyone fell silent. They hadn't expected Guxing to come this way. This also showed her degree of anxiety, and the Young Miss also understood, Guxing must have traveled day and night to get here, because they had done the same.

"Alright, let's talk about this later. Guxing, did you ask them? What happened to the little servant?" Nangong Suxin said.

"You're all here looking for Xiaoyao, right!" Luo Yunqing looked at the Young Miss's trio, two more Saint Level young ladies. When had Saint Level become so worthless that even such young girls were becoming Saint Level one after another, and their strength wasn't weak either.

Although these two young ladies weren't as strong as the previous one, they were still approaching his own strength level. Not simple!

"Yes, where is he?" the Young Miss nodded and asked.

"Take a deep breath and calm your emotions. You might find this matter hard to accept," Luo Yunqing looked at the four young ladies, finding it somewhat difficult to speak, afraid of hurting them, but unable not to say it.

"Just say it. You're not going to say he's already dead, are you!" the Young Miss said casually, but she didn't expect this statement to be somewhat prophetic.

"Well... he really is dead," Luo Yunqing said.

"What?!" the Nangong sisters exclaimed.

"That's not a funny joke!" the Young Miss frowned, while Guxing didn't speak, but the cold aura emanating from her body already said everything.

"No, this isn't a joke, it's real! He died trying to save his father, taking a palm strike..." Luo Yunqing said.

"What's the situation?" the Young Miss's face darkened.

"The situation was like this..." Luo Yunqing began narrating what had happened then.

"Qi Bupo? Isn't he Fang Chunxue's someone? Xiaoyao once suspected he might be father's person. What's really going on?" Nangong Suxin frowned.

"Regardless, he killed Xiaoyao. I want him to pay with his life!" the Young Miss said very coldly, but it made people feel her firm determination.

"Kill!" Guxing simply said one word.

"Killing is certain. It's just a matter of how to kill. Since he's from the Demon Sect and is God Level, we need to plan carefully. We don't have enough power right now!" Nangong Suxin said.

"To kill Qi Bupo might require destroying Shadow Moon Valley. I think three years should be enough," Nangong Third Miss said.

"Yes, killing Qi Bupo isn't difficult. With our three-person assault, one year of preparation would be enough. But he definitely has people around him, we must take them all out!" the Young Miss said.

If it were just Qi Bupo, they could kill him with combined attacks. Of course, not the current them, after they broke through a year later, plus careful arrangements, then it could be done.

"..."

Seeing these four girls' reaction, Luo Yunqing and others all knew they cared deeply about Xiaoyao. At the same time, they were very crazy, actually unanimously wanting to kill Qi Bupo and destroy Shadow Moon Valley.

"I want to see Xiaoyao," Guxing suddenly said. She wanted to see him alive or see his corpse if dead. She didn't believe Xiaoyao would just die like this. Now she hadn't even seen the body, she wouldn't believe Xiaoyao was dead.

"Yes, I want to see Xiaoyao. I don't believe Xiaoyao would die so young," the Young Miss said.

"Right, although I feel somewhat worried, I don't feel like he's already dead," Nangong Third Miss said.

"Yes, even if the little servant became a corpse, we need to see him," Nangong Suxin said.

"Well..." Luo Yunqing hadn't yet mentioned what happened afterward, about Xiaoyao being taken away by Qi Bupo. He hadn't said this yet, and this matter was somewhat embarrassing for him to mention.

Not only letting someone kill Xiaoyao, but also letting them take away his corpse, how could he have the face to say this?

Also, if you don't believe Xiaoyao is already dead, then why did you just talk about killing Qi Bupo and destroying Shadow Moon Valley?

If he asked this question, he would definitely get the same answer, they wouldn't let off anyone who seriously injured Xiaoyao.

"What's this 'well' about? Don't tell us we can't see him. If we can't, then none of you can either," the Young Miss said directly.

"He was taken away by Qi Bupo," Luo Yunqing said.

"What?"

"Looks like we definitely have to destroy this Shadow Moon Valley," the Young Miss said coldly.

"Then we need to replan and speed things up..." Nangong Third Miss said, then she looked at Luo Yunqing. "You are?"

"Luo Yunqing, Luo family head, and current king of Flowing Stone Kingdom," Luo Yunqing said.
