At the Ye house.
Ye Jinlan read the message with a grim face.
“Miss, what’s wrong?” Ye Fang looked at Ye Jinlan and asked in confusion.
“The Three Devils of Nether River were killed by Xiao Xiaojin.”
The Ye family had sent people out to search for Xiao Xiaojin and asked them to act on seeing the opportunity. However, those men were scared out of their wits when they saw Xiao Xiaojin killed the Three Devils.
Ye Fang widened her eyes and said, “Impossible. They were three Golden Cores.” The eldest of the three men was a Medium Golden Core and the other two were Preliminary Golden Core. They were powerful. Xiao Xiaojin seemed to have advanced to Golden Core for only a few years.
“Do you still remember Xiao Xiaojin’s bear?” Ye Jinlan asked.
Ye Fang nodded and said, “Yes, I heard that the little pet has a big appetite.”
Xiao Xiaojin had stayed in the Ye house for a while, and that cute pet won the hearts of many female cultivators in the Ye family. Several of them even offered to buy the demonic beast from Xiao Xiaojin, but he refused. Ye Fang still remembered that a young lady of the Ye Family said that the flying bear loved to eat pig’s feet, and it didn’t spit out the bones.
“That is the flying bear in Honeycomb Island, the one that controls thousands of bees,” Ye Jinlan said.
Ye Fang widened her eyes and asked in disbelief, “Miss, what did you say?”
“Is it hard to believe? That flying bear is indeed the one in Honeycomb Island.”
The Ye family had thought of capturing the flying bear before, but it was too powerful. The people sent out were all wiped out.
Ye Jinlan had long suspected Xiao Xiaojin, and she also suspected that his bear was the one on Honeycomb Island, but she dropped the idea as she thought it impossible.
“That flying bear is a Medium Golden Core, and Xiao Xiaojin has just advanced to Golden Core. How could he tame it?” Ye Fang was confused.
“The Xiao family should have some special methods.” Ye Jinlan thought she had overestimated the Xiao family’s strength, but she actually underestimated them.
Xiao Xiaojin had the flying bear with him, and he might not be inferior to Xiao Jinting. After all, he didn’t attack the Three Devils of Nether River.
Something came across Ye Fang’s mind, and she said, “Miss, I heard that the eldest son of the Xiao family has a pheasant.” The third son of the Xiao family was powerful, so his eldest brother, who advanced to Golden Core earlier than him, would not be inferior to him. That pheasant of the eldest son might be some weird demonic beast as well.
“The demonic beast of the eldest son seems to be able to daze the demonic beasts, and that is why the Xiao family could kill a large number of demonic beasts. Anyway, we don’t have any grudges with the Xiao family. It is good for us if they are stronger.” There were many strong forces on Nebula Island, and it made no difference if the Xiao family had become one of them. However, the Xiao family was so powerful that the Ye family could only treat it as a respectful friend.
“Miss, normally, the Three Devils of Nether River shouldn’t have known about Xiao Xiaojin so soon,” Ye Fang said.
Ye Jinlan smiled coldly and said, “Xu Muan took out so many good things at one go. Of course, some people are jealous.” Everyone hankered after the good things and attempted to get them at the smallest price. If the Ye family was strong enough, they might have done something as well.
Ye Jinlan paused for a moment before she continued, “If my guess is right, the Three Devils of Nether River were the kite someone flew.” The Three Devils of Nether River died for nothing. They were three Golden Cores, and they died like this. Someone might be distressed at the loss.
“It is said that when the Ji family’s ancestor was tracking down the Three Devils of Nether River, someone interrupted him,” Ye Fang said.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Ye Jinlan said.
…
At the Cao house.
Cao Tong stood in front of Cao Yu with a frown.
“Did you tell the news to the Three Devils of Nether River?” Cao Quan asked.
Cao Tong’s face was ashen. He heard the reproach in Cao Quan’s tone, nodding in depression. “Yes.” He had arranged the Three Devils of Nether River to test the water, but they all died in the end. It was said that the three of them were very powerful, but they turned out to be useless and got killed.
“When you have time, work hard on your cultivation. Don’t mess around.” Cao Quan warned.
Cao Tong blushed and said, “I got it, Father.”
Cao Tong’s heart tightened. Among the brothers, his father had been thinking highly of him. He had never been scolded like this since he was small.
Xiao Xiaojin was the latest to advance to Golden Core in the Xiao family. Cao Tong thought that he was the weakest, but he turned out to be tough.
Cao Quan sighed softly and said, “The Three Devils of Nether River have helped the Cao family solve a lot of problems over the years. In the end, they died just like that.” Although the Three Devils of Nether River were Golden Cores, they were not members of the Cao family, so Cao Quan was not distressed with their death. However, he was worried that the three men might have left any evidence against the Cao family.
“I didn’t expect Xiao Xiaojin to tame the flying bear,” Cao Tong said with jealousy. Many forces in Nebula Island had coveted the flying bear with ancient bloodline, which could control thousands of poisonous bees. It was the best demonic beast of people’s dreams.
Wasn’t that flying bear very powerful and fierce? What was Xiao Xiaojin to tame the bear?
“Our ancestor is out of town. It’s not easy to deal with the Xiao family.” Cao Quan sighed.
Cao Tong gritted his teeth and said inwardly, “If the Three Devils of Nether River had made it, things would have been easier. Those lame ducks.”
