Chapter 240: Chapter 240: Making a Dominant Move

Su Muyao heard the system’s words and immediately took out the Nine Revolutions Spirit Returning Grass from the space, transformed it into a potion with the Wood Element Ability, and fed it to Old Madam Xiao.

At this moment, Xiao Jihan’s second aunt, Lv Family, saw this scene and her face changed dramatically, "What are you trying to do?"

"Stop, stop her, restrain her."

The old madam has just died, and her daughter is about to become the Family Head. What if someone has a way to wake the old madam up?

Perhaps the old madam isn’t completely dead and could come back to life.

Lv Family indeed has some intelligence and caution.

She ordered people to intervene while loudly shouting, "Come quickly, Xiao Jihan is disrespectful to his grandmother, opening the coffin and even drugging her, this is outrageous..."

Lv Family practically shouted these words, afraid others wouldn’t hear.

Lv Family instructed people to attack Su Muyao and the others, but the hidden weapon in Su Muyao’s hand shot out instantly, knocking several people down.

Xiao Jihan immediately understood what was happening and quickly blocked in front of Su Muyao, striking all those people away.

Not knowing what his wife intended, Xiao Jihan instinctively trusted her.

"You... Xiao Jihan..."

Lv Family was scared out of her wits.

Previously, Xiao Jihan was only third-level power; it hasn’t been long, yet his power became so strong.

The family’s many experts weren’t his match.

Lv Family saw that things couldn’t continue like this; their plan would fail, and she might not fulfill her master’s orders.

Lv Family gritted her teeth and took out something strange, put it in her mouth, and blew it, an ear-piercing sound followed immediately.

Soon after, a man in green combat garb dropped into the room.

Upon his arrival, a powerful aura surged from him, adding a layer of profound pressure within the room.

"Qingya Steward, they are causing trouble in Xiao Family; please help resolve it."

Lv Family knelt respectfully to this so-called Qingya Steward, seemingly instinctively afraid.

The so-called Qingya Steward released a fierce pressure, enveloping downwards towards Xiao Jihan and Su Muyao.

"Dare to ruin the plan, you’re seeking death."

The one referred to as Qingya Steward struck down with immense pressure, his gaze filled with indifference.

Xiao Jihan shielded Su Muyao from the pressure, surreptitiously gathering Ice Element Ability, forming ice armor around to protect her from the dangerous aura.

Amidst the fierce pressure from Qingya Steward’s palm wind, Xiao Jihan’s eyes sharpened, swiftly performed sealing, cold surge erupted around him, countless ice blades burst from the ground, aiming for Qingya Steward’s hand.

But Qingya Steward’s prowess was profound, gusts of airflow surged around him, sneering coldly, "Overestimating your abilities."

Xiao Jihan’s expression hardened, countless icy spikes pierced towards Qingya Steward, silently gathering a massive ice cone above, piercing down with chilling might.

Both sides expanded their battle, causing cracks to form in the walls.

Xiao Jihan understood he must stop him at all costs.

Su Muyao quickly fed medicine to Old Madam Xiao, simultaneously injecting Level 9 Wood Ability to rapidly heal her old wounds.

While inspecting Old Madam Xiao’s body, Su Muyao realized the severe internal injuries, caused by combat.

Despite such severe injuries, surviving till now was miraculous.

Moreover, she detected immense Qi energy within Old Madam Xiao’s body.

The sound of fighting inside startled Wen Nanxi and others; they rushed inside from guarding the experts outside, Shen Ci’an’s eyes turned red seeing Qingya Steward.

In Qingya Steward’s gaze toward Shen Ci’an, his mind seemed captured, actions slowed momentarily.

Quickly, he returned to his senses, looking at Shen Ci’an with shock, "You... You can use Soul Capturing Technique."

"You’re a Pure Blood Beastman of the Blood Clan."

"Only Blood Clan Pure Bloods can use Soul Capturing Technique."

Were it not for life-saving measures, he would’ve been caught.

Upon speaking, Wen Nanxi and others swiftly targeted him with murderous intent.

Precisely pinpointed his location.

Simultaneously, Mei Qingchen’s sword struck toward Qingya Steward with lethal intent.

Their combined power flawless, the blow undoubtedly fatal.

They solely aimed for his death.

Qingya Steward’s Magic Artifact emitted a light, blocking their lethal strike.

His chest heaved fiercely; enduring severe pain, he wiped blood from his mouth and said, "Your cooperation is excellent; too bad you can’t kill me. Today, you all shall die."

Qingya Steward was a Level 10 Superpower, yet with a life-saving Magic Artifact, killing him wasn’t easy.

Wen Nanxi and the others weren’t willing to concede.

When Qingya Steward faced their true abilities, his complexion turned horrified.

"How does such a low-level Mortal Beast Continent have talents like you?"

He was astounded.

In his view, Mortal Beast Continent was barren, spiritual resources scarce.

She was foolish to betray her family and come to such a desolate place.

"Today, I’ll capture you back."

Even with a life-saving Magic Artifact, Qingya Steward endured severe attacks from Wen Nanxi and others, his gaze twisted and fierce.

Su Muyao wished to join the fight, yet reviving Old Madam Xiao was most critical.

Old Madam Xiao’s condition was dire, Su Muyao’s Wood Healing Ability incessantly infused, constantly repairing her body and meridians.

Su Muyao thought, thankfully, her Level 9 Wood Ability at peak, or she couldn’t mend Old Madam Xiao’s injuries.

Through Su Muyao, the system sensed massive Spiritual Power within Old Madam Xiao, marveling, "Despite injuries, Old Madam Xiao harbored such immense power; her youth must’ve been remarkably talented."

Su Muyao communicated with the system, "Just now, Qingya Steward mentioned Mortal Beast Continent, seemed he was from the Unknown Zone."

"A steward from the Unknown Zone possesses this power?"

Su Muyao’s expression grew serious, entities from Unknown Zone emerging, acting ruthlessly, seeming well-acquainted with Mortal Beast Continent, while its inhabitants knew nothing about the Unknown Zone.

At this moment, Old Madam Xiao unexpectedly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp, aura intimidating, her Qi swept out like wind, exuding fierce power.

Su Muyao saw Old Madam Xiao awaken and breathed a sigh of relief.

Though unconscious, Old Madam Xiao was aware of external events; she addressed Su Muyao, "Child, you’ve labored tirelessly."

Su Muyao hesitated momentarily; before she could react, Old Madam Xiao had leaped from the coffin, swung her hand, executing dominantly, the coffin lid forcefully shot toward Qingya.

"Bang... Pfft..."

Violently struck, Qingya’s Magic Artifact instantly shattered, and the lid slammed into his body, forcing him back, crashing hard against the wall.

"Xiao Jiuying, you..."

Xiao Qingya’s body trembled in shock; he ceased battle, crushed a glowing stone, a vortex emerged behind him to transport him away.

But at that instant, Shen Ci’an moved a finger, sneering coldly, "Want to leave? Did you ask me?"

Shen Ci’an had already performed Sealing, the power of the Level 10 Blood Beastman Seal severing the teleportation channel.

"Ah!"

Forced shut, Xiao Qingya dropped to the ground.
