Chapter 1309: Chapter 1307: The Second Guardian Beast of the Manor

”Earlier, your master appeared and told us that you encountered some trouble and wouldn’t be able to return for the time being. Later, for reasons unknown, rumors of your death spread throughout Tianhai and even the entirety of Yanjing. Now, apart from us, everyone believes you’re dead.”

”As a result, many people came in the past few days intending to act against the Xiao Family Villa. Luckily, Jian Yun and Mr. Luo appeared in time to defuse the crisis, so we’re safe now. Even Little Xue...”

Hong Mei explained simply but suddenly paused.

”What happened to Little Xue? Also, why haven’t I seen her around?”

Xiao Yifeng asked abruptly, realizing for the first time that Little Xue was not present.

”It’s like this!”

Hong Mei described in detail everything that happened that night, including the Blood Clan’s appearance and how Little Xue finally stepped into the void and disappeared.

”Could it be that her First Soul Body has been unsealed?”

After hearing Hong Mei’s account, Xiao Yifeng’s expression changed. Only the unsealing of Little Xue’s First Soul Body could explain such immense power.

”It must be the Ice Snow Empress’s Soul Body being unsealed. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have unleashed such terrifying power and ultimately left by walking into the void. It seems I underestimated the Ice Snow Empress; her unsealing happened far faster than I expected.”

Long Qian spoke.

”Ice Snow Empress? Senior, are you referring to Little Xue’s First Soul Body?”

Xiao Yifeng asked with a shocked expression upon hearing Long Qian’s explanation.

”That’s correct. She is essentially the Ice Snow Empress from the Ancient Realm, the ruler of Ice Snow Country, one of the ten great realms of the Ancient Realm. She was an absolutely top-tier powerhouse. For reasons unknown, she ended up in this primitive world and even caused the creation of a Second Soul Body.”

Long Qian replied calmly.

”Then where would she be now?”

Xiao Yifeng asked.

”Judging from her previous condition, she seems to have fully regained control of her body. If all went as expected, she’s likely searching for a way to return to the Ancient Realm or may have already gone back.”

Long Qian answered directly.

”Then doesn’t that mean Little Xue might...”

Xiao Yifeng’s expression darkened.

”That’s uncertain. If she’s lucky, she might survive despite the pressure from the Ice Snow Empress’s Soul Body. This outcome depends entirely on fate!”

Long Qian said.

”Little Feng, are you alright?”

Hong Mei called out to Xiao Yifeng, noticing he seemed lost in thought.

”Oh, it’s nothing. As for Little Xue, don’t worry about her for now; she won’t be coming back anytime soon.”

Xiao Yifeng spoke to the group of women.

Though they had questions in their hearts, they didn’t press him further.

”By the way, Little Feng, what about Ya Xin?”

Lu Xueqing suddenly asked.

”Yeah, brother-in-law, where’s my sister? Why didn’t she return with you?”

Ye Yashi asked urgently, her eyes filled with worry.

”About Ya Xin...”

At the mention of Ye Yaxin’s name, pain pierced Xiao Yifeng’s heart, and his eyes revealed torment, helplessness, and guilt. He clenched his fists tightly, the joints cracking audibly.

”Brother-in-law, what happened to my sister? She’s not...”

Ye Yashi guessed instinctively, but she didn’t dare finish her sentence. Covering her mouth with her hand to stifle her words, she feared her speculation would prove true. All the women present felt their hearts tighten, gazes fixated on Xiao Yifeng.

”Ya Xin isn’t dead, but she’s unable to return for now.”

Xiao Yifeng answered in a somber tone.

Hearing the first half of his statement, the women felt slightly relieved, but his latter words left their hearts unsettled again.

”Little Feng, what do you mean? Did something happen to Ya Xin?”

Hong Mei asked curiously.

”Ya Xin has temporarily gone to another world and can’t return at the moment. But soon enough, I’ll head there to bring her back safely. Don’t worry.”

Xiao Yifeng explained.

”Another world?”

The women exchanged surprised looks.

”Are you talking about the Ancient Realm?”

Luo Qianyu’s pupils narrowed as he stared at Xiao Yifeng with astonishment.

”Yes, it’s the Ancient Realm. It seems you’re aware of it.”

Xiao Yifeng responded to Luo Qianyu.

”I never expected there would still be people who could enter the Ancient Realm. It’s truly remarkable. She was likely taken, correct? And your absence these past few days likely has something to do with the group that abducted your fiancée?”

Luo Qianyu deduced many things with sharp insight.

Xiao Yifeng nodded in acknowledgment.

Roar, roar, roar!

Suddenly, deafening roars of beasts echoed as if thunder had shaken the ground, startling everyone. Instinctively, they all turned their gaze toward the source.

A colossal Fierce Beast—its thick fur resembling armor—appeared in the villa’s courtyard, emanating an overwhelming aura of ferocity. Its bloodthirsty eyes struck fear into everyone’s hearts; it was the Spiritual Armor Beast.

The crowd was shocked, their expressions tinged with nervousness.

”Don’t be afraid. It’s my Spirit Beast; it won’t harm you. The Saber-Toothed Tiger that guarded the villa before has died. From now on, the Spiritual Armor Beast will protect us here. With it around, you needn’t worry about anyone troubling you.”

Xiao Yifeng reassured them, stroking the Spiritual Armor Beast’s thick fur. The beast was a Third-level Spiritual Beast, its strength equivalent to that of a Void-breaking Realm strong one.

Such strength rendered it an almost invincible force on Earth. Furthermore, the beast carried an Imperial Beast Bloodline, which meant its combat powers would only intensify if provoked. With the Spiritual Armor Beast safeguarding the villa, Xiao Yifeng felt at ease.

”This Spirit Beast’s aura is terrifying. I’m afraid it has already surpassed the Void-breaking Realm!”

Luo Qianyu commented, carefully assessing the beast’s power.

”Indeed.”

Xiao Yifeng smiled and nodded.

The group of women soon dispersed to rest. They hadn’t had much sleep these past few days, overwhelmed with worry for Xiao Yifeng. Now, at last, they could properly relax.

Xiao Yifeng and Luo Qianyu sat together, drinking and chatting.

”You! It’s been such a short time since I last saw you, yet your strength has soared as if propelled by a rocket. You even seem capable of casually defeating Void-breaking Realm strong ones. But your realm hasn’t reached Void-breaking—how are you able to walk in the air?”

Luo Qianyu gazed at Xiao Yifeng with curiosity.

”That’s a special ability of mine. Consider it a reward from Heaven for my near-death experience this time. It catalyzed such a leap in power for me. But this still isn’t enough—I need to become even stronger.”

Xiao Yifeng declared, his eyes gleaming with determination.

”Is it for the sake of your fiancée?”

Luo Qianyu sipped his wine and remarked.

”Yes, she’s my fiancée. I must save her.”

Xiao Yifeng affirmed firmly.

”Since the ones who took her are from the Ancient Realm, their power must be formidable. Rescuing her might prove to be a considerable challenge.”

Luo Qianyu said thoughtfully, his gaze intense.
