“Qiao Yu, what’s wrong?” An Liya noticed the change in Qiao Yu’s expression and asked.

“It’s nothing. Let’s go take a look!”

Qiao Yu suddenly became interested. How could Qin Xuan suddenly appear in the Purifying Soul Lake dungeon?

Moreover, the feeling Qin Xuan gave him was different than before.

The previous Qin Xuan gave Qiao Yu the feeling of being arrogant and conceited, impulsive, and full of youthful vigor.

But now, Qin Xuan’s entire temperament had become very gloomy, giving off a feeling of deep scheming.

Qiao Yu couldn’t say why, but he always felt that this Qin Xuan was not quite right.

Seeing Qiao Yu and An Liya heading in another direction, Sisi hurriedly clung to Wu Qiang and said娇滴滴 (jiāo dī dī – sweetly and charmingly).

“Brother Wu Qiang, those two annoying pests are finally gone. Can we go directly to the lake now?”

“Not yet! Rushing directly into Purifying Soul Lake will lead to being possessed by evil spirits. We have to go around through the Purifying Soul Manor.”

Wu Qiang looked at Qiao Yu and the other two with suspicion, then muttered to himself.

“Strange, how does this kid know that way is the correct direction…”

“Oh, Brother Wu Qiang, they might just be lucky. You’re a high-level, what are you afraid of them for?”

Sisi cuddled against Wu Qiang’s arm while acting coquettish.

Wu Qiang was instantly infatuated and became full of heroic spirit.

“What are you kidding me? How could Wu Qiang be afraid of a pretty boy? Let’s go! Follow them!”

Wu Qiang quickly caught up with Qiao Yu and An Liya with the other three.

Qiao Yu’s attention was focused on Qin Xuan ahead, and he didn’t bother to pay attention to Wu Qiang at all.

He also didn’t dare to get too close, for fear of being discovered by Qin Xuan.

Soon, an antique cyan mansion came into view.

The mansion was surrounded by four high walls made of cyan bricks covered with some dark brown moss.

A black plaque hung on the door between two bronze Qilin statues, with the words “Purifying Soul Manor” written on it.

In Qiao Yu’s memory, there should have been two bronze Qilin statues at the entrance of the Purifying Soul Manor when he first came.

But now, those two bronze Qilin statues had disappeared without a trace.

Qin Xuan leaped up and directly entered the Purifying Soul Manor and disappeared.

Qiao Yu frowned slightly. Was Qin Xuan’s goal also the Purifying Soul Manor? What secrets did this ancient mansion hold?

Just as Qiao Yu was about to follow into the Purifying Soul Manor, two black-robed figures suddenly blocked his way.

“If you want to enter Purifying Soul Lake, go that way. This road is closed!”

One of the black-robed figures spoke coldly, with an extremely indifferent voice, impossible to tell whether it was male or female.

“Hehe, who gave you the courage to say such a thing?” Wu Qiang sneered, stepping forward and pressing the black-robed figure.

In his opinion, there was nothing to be afraid of in a D-level dungeon like Purifying Soul Lake, given he was a high-level.

However, the black-robed figure didn’t bother to waste words with Wu Qiang and directly slapped him in the face.

*Pa!*

Accompanied by a loud, crisp slap, Wu Qiang’s entire body drew a beautiful parabola before crashing heavily to the ground.

Sisi and the other three were dumbfounded. Wu Qiang, a high-level, couldn’t even withstand a slap from this suddenly appearing mysterious black-robed figure?

What level of expert was this black-robed figure then? Could it be a legendary King-level?

Qiao Yu’s eyes were also filled with shock, because when the black-robed figure raised his hand, there was a clear beast tattoo on the black-robed figure’s wrist.

It was a monster like a lion, snow-white, with a sloping horn and fire patterns on its limbs.

This tattoo… is Bai Ze!

The two black-robed figures in front of him were Bai Ze’s people!

How could Qin Xuan get together with Bai Ze’s people, or rather… did the Qin family cooperate with Bai Ze? The more Qiao Yu thought about it, the more shocked he became.

After Wu Qiang climbed up from the ground, covered in dirt, he immediately put on a flattering face. He realized that he had run into a brick wall.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, my lords, we’ll leave immediately!”

Wu Qiang, with half of his face swollen like a pig’s head, dragged Sisi and the others away, but found that Qiao Yu and An Liya were still standing still. Wu Qiang suddenly became angry and shouted angrily.

“Kid! Hurry up and get lost! If you want to die, don’t drag us down with you!”

Seeing that Qiao Yu was still unmoved, Wu Qiang’s anger surged, and all the anger from being slapped by the black-robed figure erupted.

“Are you deaf? Can’t you hear what I’m saying?”

Wu Qiang was too lazy to pretend at this time, his hideous face exposed, and he walked towards Qiao Yu, reaching out to grab Qiao Yu’s collar.

At this moment, *pa!*

Another loud, crisp slap echoed, and Wu Qiang’s entire body once again drew a parabola. After the two parabolas formed a hyperbolic function, Wu Qiang fell to the ground.

Sisi and the others looked at Qiao Yu as if they were looking at a dead man. How dare he provoke the high-level Wu Qiang? Did he think he was one of those powerful black-robed figures?

“You dare hit me? You’re courting death!”

As expected, Wu Qiang’s anger soared after he got up. One slap on each side of his face made his face swell up like a pig’s head.

He could tolerate being slapped by the black-robed figure, but how could he tolerate being slapped by Qiao Yu?

Flames gathered into a huge fireball under Wu Qiang’s power, and smashed towards Qiao Yu.

“Go to hell!”

Wu Qiang roared, a hint of pleasure appearing on his face.

But at this moment, a large hand directly passed through the fireball and grabbed his neck, suspending him in the air.

The flames he condensed seemed unable to hurt this hand at all.

“I didn’t want to crush you, but you’re too noisy.” Qiao Yu grinned, then exerted a little force on his hand.

*Crack!*

Wu Qiang’s neck made a crisp sound, and he directly died on the spot.

Crushing a high-level was not much different from crushing an ant for the current Qiao Yu.

Sisi and the other three were almost scared to pee. Wu Qiang, a high-level, was directly killed in one hit?

Didn’t that mean that this unbelievably young guy could kill them three mid-levels as easily as killing chickens?

Sisi felt that her previous provocative behavior was simply jumping back and forth in front of the King of Hell.

The King of Hell would have to ask: What is flashing at the door?

However, the shocking things for Sisi and the other three were far more than that.

After solving Wu Qiang, Qiao Yu stepped towards the two black-robed figures.

“I already said it! This road is closed!”

Seeing this, the two black-robed figures directly released their aura, revealing the aura of King-level experts without a trace.

“I know, I know, don’t be nervous.” Qiao Yu smiled kindly, “I don’t mean to force my way through either. I just want to ask you a question.”

Qiao Yu looked at the two black-robed figures with a smile.

“May I ask, what are your code names in Bai Ze?”

Seeing that Qiao Yu directly revealed their identities, the expressions of the two black-robed figures hidden under their hoods instantly changed drastically. Then the two of them were about to attack.

But it was too late. Qiao Yu approached while talking just to distract the two of them and avoid alarming the people in the Purifying Soul Manor.

Before they could make any resistance, Qiao Yu grabbed their throats, preventing them from making any sound.

Then, dark black hellfire gushed out from Qiao Yu’s hands, and the two King-level black-robed figures were directly burned to ashes before they could even scream.
