CHAPTER 31: CHAPTER 31: THE RETURNING CLOUD MOUNTAIN, DEMON SOUND SAINTESS QI WAN’ER

"Congratulations to City Lord Xia, from now on, the title of the first City Lord within a hundred miles belongs solely to City Lord Xia."

The patriarchs of the Sun and Li families both extended their congratulations to Father Xia.

The fact that Sect Leader Niu Zhan of the Bull Subduing Sect is willing to defend the Xia Family against the Cloud Mountain Sect shows that he has firmly aligned himself with the Xia Family.

When the Bull Subduing Sect becomes the only middle-grade sect within a hundred miles, the rise of the Xia Family will be unstoppable.

What’s more, the Xia Family has the dowry sent by the Five Top Grade Saintesses of the Northern Border, and the top grade saintess from the Southern Border should have brought a dowry as well. Plus, there were the compensation of a hundred thousand lower grade spirit stones and ten thousand middle grade spirit stones from Cloud Mountain before.

If the Cloud Mountain Sect is destroyed this time, and the Overlord Blade Saintess plunders some resources for the Xia Family, the foundation of the Xia Family will be even more terrifying.

As the only two remaining major families in Xingyu City today, they must establish good relations with the Xia Family.

Father Xia sighed slightly and said, "I would prefer a more peaceful existence."

"City Lord Xia must be joking."

The two patriarchs clearly didn’t believe him, thinking Father Xia was just showing off.

No such peaceful boasting, even if Father Xia boasted more at this moment, they had to accept it.

Xia Feng glanced at the two patriarchs who were currying favor and turned to head back to sleep.

Only when asleep could his cultivation rapidly advance.

The current battles were not ones he could participate in at his level.

And Xia Feng’s enemies were not ordinary people, they were Saint Children from top grade sacred lands.

No one could guarantee they wouldn’t act personally, so he had to quickly improve his strength.

"Xia Feng, let’s see who will save you this time."

At this moment, the frenzied, murderous laughter of Yun Shan resounded above the City Lord’s Mansion.

Then, a figure appeared out of thin air on the courtyard wall, with murderous intent as if it were tangible.

Yun Shan? He returned?

Xia Feng’s heart skipped a beat.

Father Xia hurried over, standing in front of Xia Feng, and said coldly: "Yun Shan, do you dare to return? Aren’t you afraid the Overlord Blade Saintess will strike you again?"

Yun Shan replied coldly: "Stop pretending. I know they’ve gone to destroy my Cloud Mountain Sect. They think I escaped back to the Cloud Mountain Sect? Ridiculous. I knew that old fox Niu Zhan wouldn’t miss this opportunity to destroy my Cloud Mountain Sect, so returning to the Cloud Mountain Sect would be courting death. I hid halfway and only came after seeing them head to my Cloud Mountain Sect."

Such a cunning old fox.

Xia Feng’s eyes narrowed.

In terms of strength, Yun Xuezhi was indeed stronger than Yun Shan, but in terms of cunning, Yun Xuezhi was too young.

"Sect Leader Yun, we’re just passersby, and the Xia family’s affairs have nothing to do with us."

The two patriarchs from the Sun and Li families, who were still fawning just now, were frightened and immediately distanced themselves from the Xia Family when they saw Yun Shan appear.

Yun Shan merely glanced coldly at the two and ignored them.

"You abandoned the Cloud Mountain Sect? How ruthless." Mrs. Xia also rushed over, standing in front of Xia Feng.

Even Elder Xia, who guarded the Martial Pavilion, came over.

Without Niu Zhan and the Overlord Blade Saintess, they could only rely on themselves now.

Even if it cost their lives, they needed to buy time for Xia Feng to escape.

"Cloud Mountain Sect?"

Yun Shan laughed loudly at the sky, "As long as I’m alive, the Cloud Mountain Sect can be rebuilt anytime. Besides, as long as I kill Xia Feng, I can freely enter the Five Top Grade Sacred Lands of the Northern Border, so why would I care about a mere Cloud Mountain Sect?"

"Even if you enter the sacred land, you’ll be targeted by the Saintesses."

Father Xia said coldly while whispering to Xia Feng, "Xiao Feng, quickly leave."

"Leave? None of you will escape."

Before Xia Feng could speak, he saw Yun Shan snort coldly and strike a claw through the air.

The Cloud Mountain Claw, overshadowing the sky, pressed down mightily.

The entire Xia Family was enveloped under it.

Compared to Yun Shan’s Cloud Mountain Claw, that of the Great Elder of the Cloud Mountain Sect was like a minor demon bowing to a major demon.

Damn it, I just got a golden finger, and now you want me gone?

Xia Feng frowned tightly, feeling out of control over life and death was really unpleasant.

Once this matter is over, he must strive to sleep and enhance his cultivation as fast as possible.

Father Xia frowned as he looked at the giant hand descending from the sky, showing a flash of determination in his eyes.

A jade scroll appeared in his hand.

It was given by his father on his deathbed, saying it could protect the Xia Family when facing an unbeatable enemy, ensuring their safety.

Previously, when the Great Elder of the Cloud Mountain Sect arrived with a group of Martial Kings, he was about to crush it, but the appearance of the Overlord Blade Saintess stopped him.

Now, perhaps no one could save them anymore, they could only rely on themselves.

Just as he was about to crush the jade scroll, a strange flute sound slowly began.

With the sound of the flute, sound blades broke through the air and struck the descending giant hand, instantly shattering it.

Seeing this, Father Xia put away the jade scroll again, exchanged a glance with Mrs. Xia, and both looked toward Xia Feng in unison.

"Why are you looking at me? I don’t know them."

Xia Feng shook his head, but in his heart, he had already guessed that it’s probably a top grade saintess from the Southern Border.

The only top grade sacred land using music as a weapon is the Demon Sound Sacred Land in the Southern Border.

The newcomer must be the first Saintess of the Demon Sound Sacred Land.

The information about these top grade saintesses is not a secret in the Great Xia Empire, and the empire announces the details of each Saintess.

"Who?"

Yun Shan didn’t know that the appearance of top grade Saintesses was related to Xia Feng’s dreams; there were more than just the Demon Sound Sacred Land that could use sound techniques, so he didn’t recognize the newcomer’s identity.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure appeared out of thin air on the wall of the front courtyard, standing less than three feet from Yun Shan.

She wore a white dress, was stunningly beautiful, with a graceful figure, fair skin, holding a jade flute in her hand, she looked at Yun Shan and said coldly: "Harbor ill intent against my husband, you deserve death."

"Your husband?"

Yun Shan’s heart skipped a beat. All the ones who appeared before and were infatuated with Xia Feng were top grade Saintesses—is she also a top grade Saintess?

Southern Border, top grade Saintess, sound technique.

He swallowed a gulp and asked, "Are you the First Saintess of the Demon Sound Sacred Land, Qi Wan’Er?"

"Since you know me, then end yourself and don’t waste time." Qi Wan’Er said coldly.

Despair flickered in Yun Shan’s eyes, he turned his head to look at Xia Feng, and with gritted teeth, he roared: "How many damn top grade Saintesses are you involved with?"

Xia Feng looked innocent: "I don’t know either, if you survive, you might be able to help me count."

"You!"

Yun Shan almost spat blood from anger, turned to Qi Wan’Er and said: "Demon Sound Saintess, my brother is..."

"Nonsense."

Qi Wan’Er waved the jade flute in her hand, releasing a transparent sound blade, which carried a strange demon sound.

This demon sound seemed capable of capturing the soul, causing Yun Shan to temporarily lose focus.

By the time he regained his senses, the sound blade was already in front of him.
