Chapter 284: Chapter 284: The Killer Remains Unfettered at Heart (Sixth Update)
Griffin felt a chill run down his spine.
Was it truly such a casual gesture, not even stepping out of the carriage, to slay all the guards?
Xue An showed neither agreement nor dissent.
The killer is not bound by conscience, the survivor is not trapped by confusion!
Moreover, those who died were all utterly unforgivable.
The vehicle entered the mining area, and the fluctuations of Spiritual Energy grew more and more intense.
On the ground, and even on the dilapidated houses, all sorts of flowers and grass sprouted incessantly only to wither and decay at an exceptionally fast pace.
The cycle repeated, endless and unceasing!
After Xue An got out of the vehicle, he held his two daughters and headed straight for a mine shaft.
Xue Xiang and Nian Nian looked around curiously.
“Daddy, it’s so beautiful here!”
Everywhere flowers and grass sparkled, making even this desolate mine shaft seem dazzling.
Xue An smiled, “It will be even more beautiful in a moment!”
After entering the cave and walking a considerable distance inside.
Suddenly, a broad space appeared ahead.
And in the center of the space, there was a spring flowing.
After the spring water spread on the ground, it transformed into creatures resembling little elves, dancing throughout the space.
Xue An’s eyes brightened, it was indeed a Spiritual Spring!
An Yan and the two young girls, facing this dreamlike scene, couldn’t help but be mesmerized.
“Husband, it’s so beautiful!” An Yan murmured.
Xue An smiled, “This Spiritual Spring has not yet matured. When it truly matures, it will be the most beautiful sight in the world!”
Years ago, when Xue An traveled through The Multiverse, he had visited the Spiritual River of the Heavenly Realm.
That place was off-limits to those with insufficient cultivation levels.
Because if one’s cultivation level was not adequate and their sense of purpose not steadfast, they would be captivated by the unparalleled beauty and never return!
Compared to that Spiritual River, which occupied an entire realm, this Spring was not even worth a hair!
However, Xue An was still very satisfied.
This world was too barren and the Spiritual Energy too sparse; to have this was already commendable!
“Yan’er, you and Xiang Xiang Nian Nian stay here, it will be very beneficial for your cultivation!”
“Then where will you go, husband?” An Yan asked.
“Of course, I’ll be guarding outside! After all, it will take a day or two for this Spiritual Spring to mature. During this time, it will surely attract countless prying eyes!” Xue An said.
An Yan was a bit worried.
Xue An smiled, “Don’t worry, with your husband here, all gods shall scatter!”
Saying this, Xue An left the mine shaft.
Although he said so, Xue An was also somewhat uneasy, so before leaving, he applied various Talisman Spells throughout the mine.
In this way, unless a Golden Immortal arrived, not even an Immortal could enter!
Xue An went outside the mine shaft and found a clean spot to sit down cross-legged.
Griffin paced back and forth somewhat panic-stricken.
He was now thoroughly convinced of Xue An’s might.
Even without the Curse Mark in his soul, he dared not leave Xue An’s side.
But now, he was the sole guardian of a precious treasure, and who knew how many people were eyeing it in the shadows!
At this thought, Griffin couldn’t help feeling a lack of confidence.
Xue An, however, was unmoved and began meditating with closed eyes.
Bell Family.
The news of Xiao Bell’s death had already been relayed back.
The body of Xiao Bell also returned with the group.
All members of the Bell Family were present, but they all stood outside the office, waiting, none daring to enter or make a sound.
Many were aware that a tremendous storm was about to come!
After a while, the door to the office opened.
Old Bell, his face pale, stepped out.
He had changed into a black suit, a white flower pinned to his chest.
“Who is the murderer, and where is he now?” Old Bell asked softly.
Beneath his calm tone was unimaginable fury and murderous intent.
“Respected godfather, the murderer is a man from Huaguo living on the street with bars. As for his current whereabouts, it’s still unclear!” one of the Bell Family’s executives stepped forward and said.
Old Bell nodded. “Alright, then seize everyone on the street with bars. Kill them one by one until we find out exactly where this person is!”
“Yes!”
Just as his subordinates were about to set out,
someone ran back in panic.
“Godfather, something terrible has happened at the mine!”
“What happened?”
“The mine has been restless all night; it seems the Fountain of Youth is about to emerge. We were about to report it when suddenly someone burst in, killing all the guards with a wave of their hand! I was lucky to escape because I happened to be stationed elsewhere.”
Thinking back to that scene, the person was still trembling.
But Old Bell’s eyes lit up.
“Good, he kills my son and now he wants to steal my family’s property. It seems I should show him how serious I can be!”
“Send out the word, call back all the commanders of the Night!”
“Yes!”
Commanders of the Night!
Hearing this name, all the members of the Bell Family relaxed their expressions.
If they were deploying the strongest force of the family,
then no matter who the opponent was, they would certainly not survive!
But someone was moving faster than the Bell Family.
As Xue An stood guard outside for the twentieth minute, a convoy made up of various heavy trucks forcefully made its way in.
Many people got off the trucks.
These people all had cold faces, burly figures, and were carrying various types of firearms.
Then a man with a fierce face approached.
Upon seeing this man, Griffin first was taken aback, then clenched his teeth and said, “Carter!”
Indeed, the newcomer was Carter, Griffin’s once loyal subordinate.
Yet when Griffin was forcibly driven out of the City of Sin, Carter was the first to turn his back and betray him.
At the thought, Griffin’s teeth would clench with rage.
Carter at first didn’t recognize Griffin; it took a moment before he said in surprise, “Are you… Griffin?”
Griffin chuckled darkly, “Heh, my good loyal dog, have you finally recognized your master?”
Carter’s expression changed, and he let out a few cold laughs, “Griffin, you’ve got guts. You fled in such a panic back then, nearly losing your life, and now you dare to come back?”
Griffin declared proudly, “Of course I’ve come back, and I’m going to take back what’s mine!”
“What’s yours?” Carter sneered, then looked greedily at the mine shimmering with faint light.
“Such a thing is beyond your worth! Now, it belongs to my master!”
Speaking, Carter stepped respectfully to the side, and a haughty, blond man approached.
“Carter, what’s the holdup? Why the delay?”
“Master, this strange man from Huaguo and my former boss are blocking the way!” Carter replied.
The blond man glanced at Xue An, who was sitting with eyes closed and regulating his breath, and sneered contemptuously, “Who is this person who dares to block the path of the Dark Council?”
