Chapter 1023 We'll have to leave sooner or later

The old man in black chuckled upon seeing this.

"Why don't you let her come and give it a shot? She'll have to leave sooner or later anyway."

Yan Xiaoyi said angrily, "Sir, we have no grudge against each other, why do you want to kill us all?"

The old man in black chuckled: "What reason do you need to kill someone?"

Yan Xiaoyi knew in his heart that he was doomed tonight, and he didn't know where his boss had gone. He hadn't seen him at all.

"Alright, but does the gentleman know that our elder brother is also a member of a hidden sect, Yan Xiaojia of the Taihang Sword Formation Sect?"

The old man in black shook his head: "Those who enter the mountain gate to cultivate must sever their worldly ties and guard their original mind in order to achieve great things."

As he spoke, he glanced at everyone.

"If he still cares about you all, he has no future. Let me help him settle his worldly ties and help him take a step forward."

After saying that, he grinned and disappeared from the spot in a flash.

The next moment, Yan Xiaogeng, who was blocking Yan Xiaoding's way, suddenly let out a miserable scream, his body flew sideways, and crashed into the ruins a dozen steps away, where he fell silent.

Before anyone else could react, Yan Xiaoji let out a muffled groan and was sent flying.

Yan Xiaoding swung her sword horizontally, but it was only a subconscious action; she couldn't determine the location of the old man in black.

The next moment, the long face of the old man in black appeared in front of Yan Xiaoding, and his eerie smile made Yan Xiaoding's hair stand on end.

My hands and legs feel weak.

She wanted to slash it with her saber, but the saber was so heavy that she could hardly move it.

The old man in black slowly stabbed Yan Xiaoding in the chest with his long, thin fingers.

Yan Xiaoyi shouted wildly, "Kill!"

The burly man sprang up from his spot, his saber poised to stab the old man in black.

The old man in black didn't even look at him; his index and middle fingers, already pressed together, were already close to Yan Xiaoding's chest.

Just as he was about to thrust out, he suddenly sensed something approaching from behind. Judging from the sensation, if he didn't dodge and defend, he would be injured.

The outstretched finger instantly turned, the body dodged to the side, and the hand swung out in a backhand motion.

With a "bang," the old man in black's hand collided with the object that had come crashing into him.

The object that was thrown from behind the old man in black flew backward and landed at the entrance of the courtyard.

The old man in black also took a step back and stared carefully at the direction of the courtyard gate.

In the darkness, Yan Xiaojia, his face grave, clashed with the old man in black. He felt a surge of bloody energy churning in his chest and abdomen, which would have burst out of his throat if he hadn't been trying to suppress it.

"Boss."

"Big brother."

On the collapsed ruins, several people shouted with joy.

Yan Xiaojia ignored them and simply cupped his hands in greeting to the old man in black.

"Yan Xiaojia of the Taihang Sword Formation Sect, may I ask which master from your Wuli Xin Sect has graced us with their presence?"

The old man in black, who had been leaning forward, froze slightly.

The other party is a major sect of a hidden sect in the Central Plains, and they have also recognized our sect. If we kill them, others might be spying on us, and it wouldn't be good if word got out.

"Hehe, Sword Form Sect, not bad. To be able to withstand my attack, you must be an elite disciple among the second generation."

Judging from his tone, Yan Xiaojia knew that this person held a high position in the Wuli Xinmen (a sect of irrational people) and was ruthless in his methods.

With just a casual wave of his hand, he almost got injured and vomited blood.

"Senior, these men are indeed my brothers from the mortal world. Please show them mercy."

The old man in black pondered for a moment, his face grim.

"Where did Shu Fengting go?"

Just as Yan Xiaoding was about to speak, he was glared at fiercely by Yan Xiaojia.

"Senior, Shufengting has already traveled west along the Yongding River and should be approaching Qixian County soon."

The old man in black rolled his eyes for a moment.

Everyone present held their breath as still as possible, standing there dumbfounded, watching the old man in black with bated breath.

Yan Xiaojia smiled and said, "Senior, may I ask how you should address me? My master will be arriving soon. Perhaps we could stay a while longer?"

"I don't have time now, we'll talk about it later."

Before the old man in black finished speaking, he had already disappeared from the courtyard.

Yan Xiaojia stood still, and the others didn't dare to move either.

The entire town was as quiet as if no one was there, with only the rustling of the night wind blowing through the weeds.

After a long while, Yan Xiaojia finally let out a breath, twisted his body, and waved to Yan Xiaoyi and the others.

"Alright, everyone relax."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and retreated to their respective resting places.

Yan Xiaoyi, Yan Xiaoding, and Yan Xiaowu, their faces filled with grief and indignation, stepped forward together and bowed to Yan Xiaojia.

"Boss, are we just going to let this go?"

Yan Xiaojia gave a wry smile: "Go and see how they are doing. Don't think about revenge; that's not something you can handle."

Upon hearing this, the group rushed to check on Yan Xiaoji and Yan Xiaogeng, who had been knocked away by the old man in black.

In fact, Yan Xiaojia was just saying that; he already knew in his heart that with the old man in black's methods, these two would definitely not have any hope of surviving.

"Big brother, they...are dead."

Yan Xiaoyi's voice trembled slightly. He had seen with his own eyes that as the old man in black approached, the two of them flew away one after the other.

Then, he rushed forward as well. If it weren't for the boss's appearance, Yan Xiaojia would probably be dead, just like the two of them.

Yan Xiaoding stood there blankly without saying a word. She was still thinking that her elder brother had told her about Shu Fengting's whereabouts, and that the old man in black had already caught up with him.

If no one informs Shu Fengting, will...

She wasn't scared at all; she had just narrowly escaped death.

Now all I can think about is how to notify Shu Fengting so that he can escape the old man in black's pursuit.

Yan Xiaojia sighed: "Listen carefully, everyone. This person is very likely an elder of the Wuli Xinmen sect from Eagle Rock Island. If it weren't for my Jianxingmen sect, I would probably have been defeated by him. We can't stay here any longer. Pack your things and leave immediately."

Everyone readily agreed and went to pack their things.

Yan Xiaojia pointed to the corpses in the ruins.

"Find a place to bury him first, and then give him a proper burial after this matter is over."

Yan Xiaoyi nodded, beckoned a few men over, found some straw mats, rolled up the corpses, and carried them out.

With little cargo, in just a quarter of an hour, the seven heroes of the Yan clan quietly left the town and made their way into Longfugu Mountain in the dark.

As they approached the mountains, the warhorses became unrideable, so everyone dismounted and led their horses forward, feeling their way.

Yan Xiaojia stood on a rock, watching the crowd pass by.

He waved to Yan Xiaoyi only after everyone had walked past.

"Xiao Yi, have you seen Xiao Ding?"

Yan Xiaoyi looked over blankly.

"Brother, isn't Xiao Ding following you?"

Yan Xiaojia frowned and exclaimed, "Oh no, this girl left on her own."

Yan Xiaowu reacted quickly: "Big brother, she went to find Shu Fengting."

Yan Xiaoyi said angrily, "Isn't this courting death?"

Yan Xiaojia hesitated for a moment: "Go to the next rendezvous point. Remember, during this time, be careful to conceal your whereabouts and do not reveal any traces."

"yes, Sir."

"Brother, are you leaving?"
