Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 114 Lin Miao

"Who's been spying on me? Have you seen enough?"

While Guan Xun was puzzled, the woman slowly raised her head, her gaze fixed on the rock strata.

Unexpectedly, the woman's perception was so sharp. Seeing that he had been discovered, Guan Xun stopped hiding and appeared in her field of vision in a flash.

The woman stared at her with a cold gaze, her eyes narrowing slightly, causing Guan Xun's face to twitch. Guan Xun was slightly taken aback by the woman's prominent hump nose.

Her gaze fell once again on the spear in the other person's hand, still wreathed in golden spiritual energy. Memories flashed through her mind, and suddenly she had a flash of inspiration.

Guan Xun smiled and said, "Oh, it's you."

"What?" The woman frowned in confusion. Her keen senses told her that the girl in front of her was not simple. Since the other party meant her no harm, she did not make a move, but she was still wary. "You know me?"

Guan Xun half-squatted down, resting his chin on his hand: "Lin Miao?"

Lin Miao's pupils suddenly contracted, she took a half step back, and pointed her spear directly at Guan Xun, her voice stern: "Who exactly are you!"

She searched her memory but couldn't recall knowing anyone like that. Could it be that someone from over there deliberately sent them to test her?

The thought flashed through her mind, and her gaze grew even colder. She snapped, "Forget about it. That's absolutely impossible."

Hmm? It seems there are some personal grudges involved.

Guan Xun raised an eyebrow: "Qianshan Academy."

Upon hearing this, Lin Miao froze, lowering her spear slightly as she frowned in thought: "Where are you from? I don't remember you."

I searched through my memories, but I couldn't find any trace of that face.

She had only been at that college for a little over a year and hadn't made any close friends. Aside from the teachers, a few of her roommates knew her name, but they were all men. Could it be...?

"Guan Xun?" Lin Miao asked hesitantly.

"I didn't expect you to still remember." Guan Xun chuckled twice.

"It really is you?" Lin Miao was extremely confused, her brows furrowed in distress. "But...your appearance?"

She remembered Guan Xun; she was extremely beautiful, not like this ordinary-looking girl.

"Ah, I was swallowed by a demon beast back then, and some troublesome things happened afterward," Guan Xun said casually, not intending to go into details.

These words completely put Lin Miao at ease. She put away the spear in her hand and withdrew her spiritual power.

It seems that it is indeed Guan Xun from the academy. No one else knows that she went to the Imperial Domain, so it is impossible for anyone to impersonate someone from there to test her.

The news of Guan Xun being swallowed by a demon beast spread throughout the entire academy, and she remembered it very well.

It's a miracle that it escaped from the jaws of an eighth-tier demon beast. I suppose its appearance was destroyed for this reason, and then repaired through some means? That's why it changed its appearance?

Or perhaps, disguise?

The thought flashed through Lin Miao's mind, and she glanced at Guan Xun's face a few more times. Oh well, even if it was a disguise, it was none of her business.

"Are you going to Burning Phoenix Manor too?"

Guan Xun nodded: "Of course, otherwise why would we be here? It seems we're on the same path."

Lin Miao frowned and nodded, about to say something, when her expression suddenly changed! Her eyes darted around rapidly: "Damn it!"

The low, cursing voice startled Guan Xun. She had thought that Lin Miao, with her serious personality, would never say such a thing. She never expected that she would curse.

As Lin Miao's low curses subsided, countless black darts hurtled towards her! Close behind were seven or eight men in black who appeared out of nowhere, landing around her and surrounding her completely.

Seeing that the black badges were all blocked and fell to the ground, the leader took the first step forward and sneered, "No wonder you have the guts to run around outside. So you've hired some helpers."

As he spoke, his gaze swept over Guan Xun on the rock strata beside him, then returned to Lin Miao: "He doesn't seem to have any ability. This time, without those old guys protecting you, you might as well die here."

Guan Xun's gaze swept indifferently over the several men in black, whose strength ranged from level 40 to level 55, while Lin Miao's cultivation was only level 46.

The outcome is obvious.

"I had no help, it had nothing to do with her, I was just a passerby."

Lin Miao gritted her teeth and stole a glance at Guan Xun, signaling her to leave quickly.

Ah, what a good person. Everyone has their own destiny.

Guan Xun chuckled and stood up.

At that very moment, the leader of the men in black gave his subordinate a look, and the man next to him nodded and immediately drew his gun to stab Guan Xun!

Seeing the vast difference in strength between himself and his opponent, the man in black didn't even use his spiritual power, and chuckled, "Regardless of whether it's related or not, after hearing these words, you naturally can't leave. Just leave your life behind."

"Okay."

Guan Xun continued moving, his eyes filled with a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes. The moment the spear pierced through, his fair little hand rose up, and the spear tip was instantly caught between his two fingers.

The man in black's arm jerked violently, and a numbing pain instantly struck, draining the color from his face. He tried to pull the spear out, but couldn't move it an inch.

A wisp of dark red flame appeared at the tips of the two fingers holding the gun, then quickly wrapped around the gun body and burned away, leaving ashes in its wake.

The man in black's pupils contracted sharply. He quickly released his grip on the gun, channeled his spiritual energy around his body, and suddenly turned around, punching Guan Xun hard with his bare fist.

The flames flickered at Guan Xun's fingertips, and with a slight tremor of his fingers, the tiny clusters of flames instantly spread across his entire palm. He casually waved his hand towards the attacker.

A terrifyingly hot gust of wind suddenly poured out, instantly sending the man in black flying backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing into the rock layer with a deafening roar.

The tiny flames carried by the strong wind ignited him the moment they touched his spiritual energy, burning him to a pile of black ashes in less than half a breath.

"Who else wants to leave their life behind?" Guan Xun asked with a smirk.

The men in black around them turned pale with fright.

The black-clad man, whose strength was second only to the leader and was level 52, was defeated in one move and didn't even manage to touch the girl!

With just one move, what incredible power that is!

"Who exactly are you? How dare you hide your strength!" A man in black asked in a horrified voice, his face quite grim.

But before he could finish speaking, the dark red flames reached him silently and instantly burned him to ashes, leaving him no time to even scream.

"Who else?"

The voice, though carrying a hint of laughter, sent a chill down the spines of everyone present.

Lin Miaoshou couldn't help but lightly cover her red lips, her gaze turning to the person on the rock layer with extremely complicated emotions. Back in the academy, Guan Xun was already an outstanding student, but in just two short years, his strength had grown to such a terrifying level...

The leader of the men in black had an unusually solemn expression, his eyes coldly fixed on Guan Xun. Just who was this girl...? Could she be someone from the Three Palaces? How dare they, the Left Faction, get involved with the Three Palaces?

"We were merely settling some personal scores with her. May I ask who you are? If we have offended you..."

Before the leader of the men in black could finish speaking, scorching flames indeed leaped up. He was already on guard and quickly mobilized his spiritual power, his figure suddenly retreating backward.

"Since we can't talk this out properly, don't blame us for being impolite!" The leader of the men in black shook his arms, and a dense blue spiritual energy surged forth. His eyes were sinister as he stared at the person on the rock.

"All of you, attack! Kill her!"
