CHAPTER:5[DISGRACE OF XAO FAMILY]
As the crowd regained its composure under the Second Elder's command, a faint, desperate cry echoed from the far side of the camp.
A person came running to the second elder, his face looked pale, fully drenched in sweat.
"Fourth Miss is missing! She's not in the camp!" the person shouted while approaching the second elder.
The calm demeanour of the second elder trembled."What did you say?"
"We have searched her everywhere, couldn't find her. Sh...she is missing." The person reported with heavy breath.
Chatter could be heard within the crowd, which grew louder and louder.
The second elder raised his hand in the air, speaking in a thunderous voice: "Silence." At this moment, he looked very tense.
Under the elder's thunderous voice, the crowd remained silent, and their gaze lowered, showcasing the difference between authority.
"Scatter everywhere in the woods and search for Xao Er." After delivering this command, the second elder disappeared from his spot.
Many people feared to search for fourth miss, under the young light of moon, they didn't have the courage to scatter. If they did, they knew it would result in losing their life.
Among them, a young boy left the camp without a sense of life, entering the darkness of the forest. The coldness of the dagger reminded of the cruel past, In this situation, Each step echoed with questions why did he walk? Why did he stray?
On top of a tree second elder stood observing the forest, he whispered in a low voice."Spiritual sense." Diverting his pupils to every corner.
Vanishing from the tree, he reappeared behind his target, seizing the person's collar with an iron grip.
The person was immediately pulled with an unyielding force, forcefully pinning him on the ground. Placing the tip of sword on top of the person's chest, Second elder asked with a tone full of rage."Where is Xao Er?"
The person beneath smiled. Blood flowed from his mouth and nostrils, eyes fully red, staring at his predator.
"Xao ling, I was already bored waiting, but glad you arrived now?" laughter of provocation of the person reached Xao Ling's ear.
Passing a mocking smile, the person said, "If only you weren't born, then right now, the Xao family would have been celebrating. The generational genius of the Xao family, Xao ling such a joke." Xao Ling listened to everything quietly.
The person continued, "Currently, the Xao family call you by a different name. Don't you wanna know what it is?" he laughed sinisterly, "Generational disgrace of Xao family." The laughter became louder and louder while blood flowed from his eyes. coughing mouth full of blood.
Xao Ling wasn't directly attacking his prey beneath him but was applying great pressure.
Ignoring the unwavering gaze, the person became more sinister, "You never cared about the main family, but not caring about your own family was unexpected. Running away with Xao Er and abandoning your family such selfishness. I still remember how your wife was striped along with your daughter, I have to admit, even at the age of 10, your daughter looked astonishingly beautiful."
The calmness on Xao Ling's face didn't waver, maintaining his superior demeanour.
The person pointed his finger at Xao Ling."Xao Er, you only care about that b*tch, I guess?"
Xao Ling remained silent but the person beneath spited on his finger and boldly responded."Lick this finger of mine, and I might tell you where she is."
Xao Ling didn't hesitate for even a single moment to lose his superior demeanour without any shame he licked the finger.
Meanwhile, in another corner of the forest, blood gushed from a young body, soaking the earth beneath.
The young body belonged to none other than Wu zian there was a deep claw mark on his chest caused by the three-tailed beast in front of him.
The beast in front of him had no fur on its body, two sharp teeth, and three tails.
The beast growled and charged towards Wu zian with its small body It pounced multiple times with such agility that Wu zian could only defend himself.
The beast stopped for a moment; it licked its paws and brushed its tail on its head.
Wu zian breathed heavily, looking at his chest. he speculated, "At this rate, I might die here."
Three tailed beast started to attack once again giving Wu zian no time to think after a short while it stopped and rested in a taunting manner.
Wu zian breathed heavily, blood smell reeking around him. Looking at the beast, he made a deduction.
The three-tailed beast launched another wave of attacks, growling furiously as it extended its claws to their limit.
The furious growling turned into a painful cry. This time, Wu zian successfully attacked the limb. With this attack, the beast lost its agility. Even worse, it couldn't even walk properly now.
Wu zian's lips curled up into a smile as he grabbed the beast by its neck. Under his grasp, the beast struggled to breathe from an advantageous position it fell into despair trying to bite Wu zian's hand.
Wu zian stabbed his dagger inside the beast's mouth, brutally slicing the toung into two halves, completely soaking his hand in blood.
The beast let out a final cry before collapsing in Wu Zian's hands, its life drained by heavy blood loss and suffocation.
Wu zian didn't feel any pity for the beast because if he hadn't killed it, then right now, he would be lying dead on the ground under the beast's paw, being eaten flesh by flesh.
He was able to kill the beast because it attacked in a pattern which Wu zian figured out.
He looked at the cliff above and closed his eyes, remembering the past."Those three vultures certainly came from this direction."
At the top of the cliff, Xao Er was being tied with a rock at her side. A middle-aged man wearing black robe stood touching her chin."I had never thought in this life I'd see you like this."
The middle-aged man dragged Xao Er's hair, "In my childhood, your father got all the limelight in the family,, snatching every opportunities and benefities for him self, and now I can the something happening to my son because of you."
Xao Er replied with a weak voice."We were just more worthy than you."
Suddenly, A thunderous roar attracted everyone's attention. As they looked, they saw Xao Ling.
