"Are you sure it's this room?"
On the roof, Leo looked at the room with curtains on the opposite window, raised his eyebrows, and asked Vilan next to him.
"Well, I can't be mistaken, the last time I saw Nichols talking to his mother was in that room. Vilan nodded, her face full of hatred.
Case......
A cold light flashed in Leo's eyes, and the sword of eternal frost was unsheathed in an instant, swinging it towards the window of the room, and then the figure flew down from the roof.
Rumble!
The sword struck with a single blow, destroying the entire window along with the nearby wall, and at the same time, Leo, who was approaching at great speed, heard a female exclamation and footsteps from inside.
Two people?
Leo landed easily, and with a movement of his mind, a burst of sword qi erupted from him, sweeping away the surrounding smoke and dust in an instant, revealing everything in the room.
"Have you already escaped? โ
Glancing at the somewhat messy bed, Leo's eyes flickered, and he whispered, his perception spread, and everything within a radius of five hundred meters suddenly came into his mind.
He walked outside the room, and soon saw everything outside that Nichols had destroyed with his shock aura in his rage, as well as the corpses of the black-clad guards on the ground.
Seeing how the corpses died, Leo frowned slightly, stepped forward to take a closer look, and showed a hint of a smile.
"It's funny, all wounds were inflicted at the same time, fatal in one blow, clean. โ
"Veran said that there were no transcendental professionals around Nichols, and now it seems that he must have hired a killer. โ
A few thoughts flashed through Leo's mind, and he put away his smile and walked towards the door.
"Fern, why are you running away?!"
Under Leo's feet, the two people who had fled from the fifth floor to the second floor suddenly stopped because the beautiful woman broke free of the man's arm and shouted in confusion.
In her opinion, Fern, as a forty-second level transcendental professional, is definitely handy to deal with the little concubine brought by Wei Lan, but the fact is that the others have not yet arrived, just an attack, Fern's face changed greatly, grabbed her from the bed, and fled all the way.
"I don't have time to explain that much to you, so if you want to live, run away. Fern's face was gloomy, and he threw down a sentence coldly, and stretched out his arm towards the beautiful woman again.
However, the beautiful woman dodged his outstretched arm, and said with a disdainful expression: "It's just a little kid invited by Wei Lan who scared you like this? What are you afraid of, the guards have already said that he is just an eighteen or nineteen-year-old boy, no matter how strong he is, he can still be as strong as you? You have cultivated to the dog for decades?"
The beautiful woman's face was very ugly, and the cold in her eyes surged, and finally she snorted coldly: "I don't care what you say, if you want to die, stay here." โ
After saying that, he turned around and wanted to leave, and when he saw this scene, a trace of panic appeared in the beautiful woman's eyes.
"I've finally found you. โ
At this moment, a faint voice sounded above their heads, causing Fern's face to change suddenly, and he ran away.
But as a terrifying coercion descended, countless silver-white sword intents filled with destructive sword intent emerged from the void, and Fern had to stop.
He looked back and saw Leo slowly walking down the stairs at a glance, and a trace of shock flashed in his eyes when he realized that he was really very young.
"You're the helper that little slut Wei Lan found back, and I can promise you whatever benefits she gives you, as long as you help me kill her!"
But when the beautiful woman saw Leo, she spoke.
Hearing this, Fern's heart moved, if this beautiful woman could really buy this young man......
However, he was obviously going to be disappointed, Leo just glanced at the beautiful woman, and the sharp and sharp sword intent in his eyes directly made the beautiful woman's body stiff, and then he was strangled into a cloud of blood mist by the sword qi swept in the void.
After solving one of the targets, Leo shifted his gaze to Fern, frowning slightly.
"Where's Nichols?"
......
......
He ...... That's it?"
On the roof, Vilan watched as Leo slashed open the window with a sword, and then jumped over, her mouth wide open in shock.
"Didn't you say it, Nichols doesn't even have a transcendental rank professional around him, to deal with this kind of goods, does Leo still need to hide?" Yan Shenchou, who was guarding against Little Hem's wrestling next to him, heard this, didn't look back, and said lightly.
Wei Lan was slightly stunned, and then said anxiously: "However, but the other uncles are all mages of the transcendent rank, even the peak of the transcendent rank, Nichols is now the only heir in the family, if Leo wants to kill him openly, they will not let Leo go." โ
As soon as her words fell, she saw the light of several spells rising nearby, and it was obvious that someone had used the [Flying Technique] to rise into the air and rush to this direction.
"Why don't you just go and explain it to them? It won't take long for Leo to kill Nichols, don't worry. Yan Shen chou picked up little Hem.
"This. Vilan opened her mouth, and finally nodded helplessly, realizing that she couldn't keep up with the way these two people were thinking.
Soon, several figures approached this side, all of them were transcendent mages with strength above level forty-five, they first frowned and looked at the window that had been shattered by Leo, and then saw Wei Lan and the others on the roof on the other side.
"Vilan?"
Seeing Wei Lan, these people's faces were stunned, and then they exclaimed in surprise and gathered around here.
"What's going on, Vilan? Also, how did Nichols say you're a traitor and order you to be wanted and killed?"
An uncle who had been close to Wei Lan in the past was the first to ask, and the others all nodded, and what had happened during this time filled their minds with doubts.
Seeing that they didn't do it to themselves in the first place, Veran was relieved, and then told Nichols about poisoning Colch, as well as asking Leo to kill Nichols.
"What?" As soon as her words came out, the faces of everyone present became solemn, and the person who asked her before confirmed again: "Wei Lan, you can't talk nonsense about this kind of thing. โ
Seeing this, Wei Lan directly and firmly spoke: "I swear to the God of Oaths in the name of the ancestors that what I said is not false at all!"
As the words fell, an illusory figure emerged from above Wei Lan's head, turning into a streamer of light and rushing into the sky.
This scene made the pupils of everyone who remained skeptical shrink tightly, and they all recognized that the illusory figure was the ancestor of the Brand family.
Even the God of Oaths approved of Veran's words, so ......
"This bastard! Colch has such great expectations for him, the position of patriarch will be his, and he would do such a unconscionable thing!"
"What a white-eyed wolf!"
Everyone shouted angrily, and even left the place directly, flying in the other direction of the manor, as if looking for Nichols' traces.
"Veran, you have been wronged. Some people sighed lightly, looking at Wei Lan's eyes full of apologies, feeling that they were too slow to react, allowing Wei Lan to bear so much grievance alone, and was chased and killed by Nichols, and almost died.
Hearing these words, Wei Lan's eyes turned red, and the sourness in her heart suddenly welled up, and she fell on her uncle's shoulder and cried loudly.
"Okay, okay, we'll give you justice, but ......"
After Wei Lan's mood calmed down a little, everyone looked at each other with a hesitant expression.
"But what?"
Wei Lan was shocked in her heart, and had a bad premonition, and Yan Shenchou behind her saw this, her eyes flickered slightly.
"After all, Nichols is the most talented person in our family for so long, although he made a big mistake this time, but what to do with it in the end should wait until Colch wakes up, you have not thought about it when you ask someone to kill him. โ
"Yes, Nichols has a stake in whether our family can be restored to the glory of our ancestors, and no matter what, our family's affairs should not be handed over to outsiders, Vilan, right?"
After everyone said this, their eyes swept over Yan Shenchou behind Wei Lan, full of vigilance and hostility.
"Uncle, you!" And Veran was cold from the bottom of her heart by their words, Nichols even did things like poisoning his own father and sending people to hunt down and kill his sister, just because he was very talented, these things can be forgiven?
"Alright, Vilan, stop talking, let the people you invited leave, we'll catch Nichols and ask him to hand over the antidote to wake up Colch before deciding. One said indifferently.
"This ......" Wei Lan didn't expect things to be such a result, her heart was full of powerlessness, and she looked back at Yan Shen with a look of apology in her eyes.
"The people who just left are there to protect Nichols, right?" Yan Shen asked with a calm face ignoring Wei Lan.
"Yes, so what?" said the crowd with a frown, then said unconcernedly.
"What, just a mercenary, does he still have an opinion about our Brand family's approach?" someone said disdainfully, the powerful mana on his body surged, faintly forming several auras.
"Oh?"
Yan Shenchou squinted slightly, exuding a dangerous coldness, and those who were familiar with her would know that this meant that Yan Shenchou had been provoked.
Although Wei Lan didn't know this, she knew Leo's identity, they were not mercenaries, but from a more powerful family than Brand, at this time, seeing that the two sides seemed to be about to have a conflict, she hurriedly spoke, wanting to persuade.
But before she could say her words, a loud bang was heard not far away, accompanied by a dazzling fire, and a house in the manor exploded directly.
"It's Hubbard's breath!"
After seeing this scene, the group of people in the Brand family carefully perceived it for a moment, and their faces suddenly changed greatly.
"Uncle Hubbard?" Wei Lan was stunned for a moment, and then remembered who Hubbard was, it was an aura mage with a forty-fifth level strength, who was usually quiet and had a bad temper.
"Let's go over and see what's going on!" Everyone in the Brand family quickly flew towards the place where the firelight exploded, ignoring Yan Shen on this side, which also made Wei Lan feel relieved.
"Miss Yan......" She turned around and just wanted to apologize, when she saw the corners of Yan Shenchou's mouth slowly hooked, revealing a cold smile, and the figure disappeared in front of her with great agility.
Seeing this smile, Wei Lan's heart trembled, and she suddenly thought of the worst possible outcome.
Could it be that Uncle Hubbard was at war with Leo just now?
Thinking of this possibility, Wei Lan's face became very anxious, if she didn't know Leo's identity, she would definitely think that Leo was just a very talented person like normal people, but after knowing that Leo was the terrifying person who defeated many level 39 professionals at level 35 and climbed to the top of the hidden dragon list, she knew that Leo's combat power could not be viewed from the perspective of common sense.
Didn't you see that among the people who chased and killed her before, the guard who had a strength of forty-two levels and also had a secret method to improve her strength was hacked to death by Leo with a sword?
"Father is still in a coma, with Leo's current strength, if there is a conflict with his uncles, even if the uncles win, I am afraid they will have to pay a great price, which will greatly damage the vitality of the family......"
"No, you have to stop them!"
A few thoughts flashed through Wei Lan's heart, her face became even more anxious, and she hurriedly rushed downstairs.
