Chapter 676: Farewell to the Leng Yuexi Sisters!

"Crack~~"

"Crack~~"

In the deep northeastern reaches of the Dayangzhou wilderness zone.

In the dense jungle, a group of four was walking along the path, their combat boots crunching crisply on the dry fallen leaves.

These four were two men and two women.

The two men looked to be in their forties, dressed in battle attire, with thick, powerful auras—one a seventh-rank middle-tier, the other a seventh-rank upper-tier.

By comparison, the other two women were much younger.

They were a pair of sisters; the elder sister walking at the front had the delicate features of someone of mixed blood.

Willow brows arched gently, eyes clear and bright.

Her figure, wrapped in a tight combat suit, was curvaceous, and every movement seemed to carry a startling charm.

Faint, scorching dark-purple flames swirled around her body.

The younger sister was a bit younger than the elder, and had likewise awakened an ability.

A fox tail swayed faintly behind her, and a pair of fluffy ears poked out from her black hair, looking very cute.

And on the right chest of all four's combat suits was a simple fox-head emblem.

That was the mark of the Spirit Fox Guild.

"Sister, have you sensed any trace of the Divine Blood?" the younger sister, Leng Yuechan, asked curiously.

"Not yet." Leng Yuexi, with her delicate features, shook her head.

"Young Lady need not be anxious. This trip was only meant as training in the first place.

Even if we don't find the Divine Blood, it's fine—as long as we return safely without injury."

The taller middle-aged man in the group said with a smile.

Ever since half a year ago, when Leng Yuexi suddenly declared that her fire-type ability had evolved from A-rank to S-rank.

Leng Yuexi could be said to be the single most important person in the entire Spirit Fox Guild!

This time entering the wilderness zone, the two seventh-rank Grandmasters had also come specifically to protect her.

"I understand, Uncle Chen." Leng Yuexi nodded slightly and replied softly.

She was the president of the Spirit Fox Guild's Myanmar branch, and had originally stayed in Myanmar with her younger sister Leng Yuechan.

But who could have known, just seven days ago, news suddenly arrived.

Saying that her father Chairman Leng Cang had been attacked by a ninth-rank Martial Saint of the Tianming Sect while out, gravely wounded and on the verge of death.

Although she and her father Chairman Leng Cang had little affection between them, at a time like this she naturally could not be absent.

So she hurriedly brought her younger sister Leng Yuechan back to the Spirit Fox Guild headquarters.

That is, Nixi, one of the two super-cities of Dayangzhou.

After returning to Nixi, before she could even see her father Chairman Leng Cang, she was sent straight by her elder brother Leng Shu to the depths of the wilderness zone to collect Divine Blood.

Leng Shu was father Chairman Leng Cang's firstborn son, and is now 53 years old.

His rank had reached the level of an eighth-rank middle-tier Grandmaster.

Though she was helpless against her elder brother's orders, she had no choice but to obey.

Of course, at her strong insistence, she still managed to see her father Chairman Leng Cang.

Although an eighth-rank Grandmaster healer had been continuously restoring him, he still could not speak.

He only arranged for two seventh-rank Grandmasters to come along when Leng Yuexi departed.

"Uncle Chen, is my father's injury really beyond treatment?" Leng Yuexi could not help but ask aloud.

"All we can say is it's very doubtful, unless a miracle happens."

Uncle Chen shook his head and sighed. "The Tianming Sect's methods are very special—they've nearly destroyed all his vitality.

An injury like this, even an eighth-rank healer-type ability user has no way to cure."

"It seems Big Brother is well aware of this, which is why he specifically sent me away."

Leng Yuexi said silently in her heart.

Chairman Leng Cang, an eighth-rank peak Grandmaster, could be said to be the greatest pillar of the entire Spirit Fox Guild.

Once father dies, the guild will face the question of who will take over.

One must know that her own brothers and sisters alone number in the dozens, let alone the next generation of her brothers and sisters.

If they fight over it, there will surely be rivers of blood.

Of course, the most likely to succeed is Big Brother Leng Shu.

Apart from the hired outside eighth-rank Grandmasters, Big Brother Leng Shu is the strongest person in the entire Leng clan.

In the past, this succession would have been no problem at all.

But with her own ability having risen to S-rank, Big Brother Leng Shu clearly now regarded her as a rival for the inheritance.

"An eighth-rank middle-tier Grandmaster—my current strength simply can't compare..."

As early as a month ago, Leng Yuexi had broken through from seventh-rank lower-tier to seventh-rank middle-tier.

Combined with her S-rank fire-type ability, she could be said to barely possess the strength to fight an A-rank eighth-rank lower-tier Grandmaster.

But facing an eighth-rank middle-tier Grandmaster, she would absolutely be the one crushed.

Precisely because she understood this, she went along with Big Brother Leng Shu's request and came to the wilderness zone.

First to get a sense of the situation, then to think about whether there was any countermeasure.

After all, the Spirit Fox Guild is a colossal entity; if she could inherit it, that would naturally be for the best.

Just as she was thinking this, the Divine Blood she had previously chanced to receive in her arms suddenly grew warm.

"I've sensed other Divine Blood!"

Leng Yuexi's beautiful eyes lit up, and she hurriedly led the others running toward the direction she had sensed.

Just a few minutes later, sure enough, among a patch of plants, they discovered a puddle of scarlet blood!

"It really is divine blood! And quite a lot of it, about 500 milliliters or so!"

Leng Yuexi's eyes lit up, just as she was about to go collect it.

She watched helplessly as the water level of that puddle of divine blood kept dropping!

In almost the blink of an eye, the divine blood vanished without a trace, leaving only a dry little pit!

"Where's the divine blood? Where did that huge puddle of divine blood of mine go?"

Leng Yuechan's eyes bulged round as saucers, saying in disbelief.

"Someone's playing tricks! Underground!"

Leng Yuexi keenly sensed that beneath the ground, a vine was rapidly retracting in one direction!

"I'd like to see just who has the nerve! Let's go!"

Leng Yuexi's face went cold, and she took the lead at full gallop, chasing after it with the others.

The vine retreated very quickly, but the few of them were no slower, and in just a few minutes they had caught up near the source.

Boom!!!

Even though they were still at least three to four hundred meters away, Leng Yuexi, as an S-rank Elemental Fire-type ability user, already felt a wave of heat surge toward her.

At the same time, a terrifying aura bloomed not far ahead.

That aura was like that of a top-tier fire-type fierce beast, chilling one to the bone.

"Something's off."

Leng Yuexi was the first to stop, gazing at the golden fireball faintly obscured by tree branches, her delicate brows knitting tightly as she said:

"The person up ahead is very strong, and his fire-type ability seems somewhat strange."

In her perception, the opponent's fire-type ability seemed even more powerful than her own S-rank ability!

But strangely, she vaguely sensed that this fire-type ability was not pure, as if it was mixed with something else.

At the same time, up ahead, shrouded within the barrier of flames and resting with closed eyes, Xu Jingming opened his eyes, a puzzled doubt surfacing in his heart.

Leng Yuexi and Leng Yuechan? How could the two of them have appeared here?
