Chapter 351: 351. Saintess of the Leiyin Clan

351. Chapter 351: Saintess of the Leiyin Clan

The little girl struggled for a long time, as if having made a great resolution, before she cautiously said, "My name is Ano."

"Ano, can you tell me, what did you need help with when you called us just now?"

Su Chen was still a bit at a loss when dealing with such a young girl, so he could only try his best to soften his tone.

Ano was clearly not as nervous as before. After hesitating for a long time, she blinked her beautiful big eyes and said cautiously, "I am homeless. They all have their own homes to return to, but I have none..."

By the time she finished, she couldn't help but cry softly. Bean-sized tears slid down her cheeks, one after another, yet she stubbornly refused to let herself make a sound, emitting only the faintest of sobs.

This little girl did not look very old, yet her homeland had been occupied by the Sun Family and the Nangong Family, and now she had suffered so many inhuman treatments in the Seven Kings Mansion...

If it were an ordinary little girl, she would likely have lost her mind and gone mad long ago.

"Your family members... are they all gone?"

Natasha asked subconsciously, with a very obvious pause in the middle; only after the words slipped out did she realize this might strike a blow to Ano.

Ano first shook her head, but soon, as if thinking of something, she nodded rapidly.

This attitude, in the eyes of the group, clearly meant there was more left unsaid.

"Ano, since we've saved you, we'll see it through to the end. If you have anything to say, just say it; there is no need to be afraid."

Natasha was the gentlest among them and immediately comforted Ano in a soft voice, trying to make her relax.

Upon hearing this, Ano blinked her big eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she finally made up her mind and said, "No! You have already saved me, and I am very grateful, but Leiyin Mountain is too dangerous. It is easy to defend and hard to attack, the surroundings are covered with abundant lightning elements, and even the water of the Liulian River can cause injury."

Hearing this, the clever Luo Shen immediately knew that Ano's family members were still on Leiyin Mountain.

"Even if your family members weren't there, we would definitely have to make a trip to Leiyin Mountain, so don't have any psychological burden."

Luo Shen spoke up at the right moment to comfort her.

Hearing this, Ano immediately waved her hands in a flurry and said in a panic, "You must not go there! It is terrifying. Although the people of the Sun Family and the Nangong Family appear united on the surface, they are actually at each other's throats and trust no one."

"Leiyin Mountain is very dangerous right now, and they are preventing outsiders from entering or leaving."

After Ano said this in one breath, as if to verify what they had said, she continued, "Once an outsider steps onto Leiyin Mountain, they will discover it immediately."

Hearing this, Su Chen became thoughtful.

It seemed they could not attack Leiyin Mountain directly; they would have to plan carefully.

It was said that there were ten powerhouses of the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm within Leiyin Mountain. Although some people's cultivation had not reached the complete Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm, it was extremely easy to suffer losses in such terrain that was easy to defend and hard to attack.

"No matter what, we must go. Even if we have to force our way in, we must take that place down."

Su Chen spoke, "If you want to find your family and are not afraid of death, you can choose to come with us. If you are afraid, it is fine to just find a place to stay."

Ano was, after all, too young, and having experienced so many hardships, it would be understandable even if she did not return to Leiyin Mountain. Whether or not to return to Leiyin Mountain, Su Chen still left the choice to Ano.

Ano hesitated for a while, as if having gone through a serious internal struggle, before suddenly making up her mind. She clenched her fists tightly and said, "I am the Saintess of the Leiyin Clan. They were trapped on Leiyin Mountain only because they were escorting me away. I cannot be ungrateful; even if I die, I want to die together with my clansmen!"

"Leiyin Mountain has already been annexed by the Sun Family and the Nangong Family. How could your clansmen still have a chance of survival? Your cultivation is still very low; perhaps it would be better not to take this risk."

Natasha looked at Ano with concern.

A child's thinking is destined to be somewhat idealistic. Under the tense situation of the Sun Family and the Nangong Family, the Leiyin clansmen might not necessarily hold out, and she feared it would end in empty joy.

Moreover, bringing a child along was not very convenient for them; if they failed to protect her, it would be a life-or-death matter in an instant.

Thinking of this, Natasha looked at Ano even more sincerely.

Hearing this, Ano stubbornly shook her head.

"They must still be alive. After all, we lived on Leiyin Mountain for so long. There is a sealed area there that cannot be entered without a Leiyin clansman to lead the way."

Ano said slowly.

"If you can send me back, I can have my clansmen help defeat those demons! Those demons are simply devoid of conscience; not only did they occupy our land, but they also killed my clansmen. If I cannot take revenge, I would rather not be this Saintess!"

By the end, Ano's eyes were full of tears, and on her pale little face, only her bright, large eyes were shining.

The group did not know how to respond for a moment, and in the end, they could only cast their gaze upon Su Chen, trusting that he would have a judgment.

Su Chen thought for a moment and felt it was better to let Ano follow them. Given Ano's stubbornness, even if they refused now, the little girl would likely sneakily follow them later.

By then, there would be more uncertain factors, and the loss would outweigh the gain.

Moreover, Ano grew up on Leiyin Mountain and must be very familiar with the surrounding environment. If she acted as a guide, it should go very smoothly for their group.

Thinking of this, Su Chen made a prompt decision: "Take Ano with us; we will go to Leiyin Mountain in a few days!"

Xiaoxian was particularly excited and directly hugged Ano, spinning her around several times.

Ano was dizzy from the spinning, but she quickly forced herself to sober up and then said to Su Chen, "Brother, thank you. I know how to sneak into Leiyin Mountain; we escaped through that secret passage before."

Her words undoubtedly provided great convenience to the group. Su Chen immediately made the final decision and returned to the original post station to prepare for the next step of the plan.

Meanwhile, on Leiyin Mountain, news of the Seven Kings Mansion being wiped out had also spread.

If at first, when Su Chen wiped out the Lin Family, they only felt that the Lin Family had declined or was caught off guard, it was different now.

One must know that although the Seven Kings Mansion was the weakest among them, it still had seven powerhouses of the Quasi-Emperor Peak Realm. It made no sense that they were wiped out in a single day without the ability to fight back.

The current Head of the Family of the Sun Family, Sun Taohong, felt more and more uneasy the more he thought about it, always feeling that Su Chen's goal was not just the Lin Family and the Seven Kings Mansion. (End of chapter)
