What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

The moment the pale blue ice blast spell touched the shadowy figure's clothes, it instantly flashed with a blinding white light.

Immediately, a bone-chilling cold spread out.

The shadowy figure froze abruptly, a suppressed groan escaping from beneath the mask.

"What?!" The shadowy figure was shocked and instinctively looked at his chest, but it was too late.

"boom--"

With a muffled thud, the ice explosion talisman exploded instantly, and a bone-chilling cold swept out.

The shadowy figure had a sizable wound blasted open in its chest, and the surrounding clothing and flesh were frozen black.

Blood mixed with ice shards dripped down, causing him to convulse in pain, and the short knife in his hand clattered to the ground.

Seizing this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Lin Xiao disregarded the excruciating pain in her arm and abruptly stood up.

He rushed up to the shadowy figure and slammed his hand down hard on the figure's mask.

With a "crack," the hard mask was smashed open, creating a crack.

Half of his face was exposed, revealing a hideous expression filled with pain and disbelief.

"You...you actually have a talisman?! You, you're from the Celestial Masters Sect?!" The dark figure staggered back a few steps, his eyes filled with astonishment and despair as he looked at Lin Xiao.

He never expected that this seemingly ordinary orphan would have such a hidden trump card.

Lin Xiao gave the shadowy figure no chance to catch his breath, his eyes turning cold.

He picked up the dagger from the ground and held it against the shadowy figure's neck.

The blade was pressed tightly against his skin; with just a little force, it could slice through his throat.

"Tell me! How is Qin Yanan now?"

Lin Xiao's voice was icy and piercing, and he exuded a ruthlessness that was completely different from his usual demeanor.

Blood dripped from his arm onto the blade, sliding down it and adding to its sharpness.

The shadowy figure, though restrained by the neck, refused to yield, instead speaking with a sinister tone: "What do you think you can get from me? Even if you're from the Celestial Masters Sect, you won't live long after offending the Qin family!"

"Shut up!" Lin Xiao's eyes flashed, and the blade moved even closer, instantly drawing a trickle of blood from the shadowy figure's neck.

"I'll ask you one last time, how is Qin Yanan? Has she been wronged?"

However, when Lin Xiao questioned him, the shadowy figure gave a strange smile.

The next moment, a trace of black blood appeared at the corner of his mouth, and he collapsed limply to the ground.

Looking at the dark figure lying on the ground, lifeless, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I had only ever seen scenes of assassins committing suicide by poison after failing to kill someone in novels and TV dramas. I never imagined that there would be such people in the real world.

After glancing at the eerie surroundings, Lin Xiao thought for a moment and finally decided to leave as soon as possible.

Despite the discomfort of killing for the first time, Lin Xiao drove away.

However, to his surprise, before he even got home, he saw flames shooting into the sky from afar in his own courtyard.

Lin Xiao felt a chill in his heart, never expecting these people to be so audacious.

Fortunately, apart from the white tiger skin that hadn't been dealt with yet, there was nothing else of value in the house.

Lin Xiao didn't go home, and he didn't even dare to drive the car Qin Yanan had given him. He turned around and disappeared into the darkness.

……

Qin family.

Qin Zhenhai's face darkened immediately after hearing the report from his subordinates.

I never expected that the kid I had overlooked would actually escape from the assassins sent by the Qin family.

A man in black looked at the Qin family head before him, thought for a moment, and finally voiced his guess.

"Master, based on the situation at the scene, number twenty-three's chest wound is fatal, seemingly caused by the Ice Explosion Talisman of the Celestial Masters Sect."

"The Celestial Masters Sect?" Upon hearing this, Qin Zhenhai immediately looked up at his subordinate, somewhat puzzled, and asked, "You mean, that Lin Xiao is a member of the Celestial Masters Sect?"

"This is just my guess; I don't know the specifics yet," the man in black said, not daring to make any definitive statements.

Qin Zhenhai nodded slightly upon hearing this, but his mind was filled with deep thought.

The Celestial Masters Sect is a reclusive sect in the Azure Dragon Kingdom, and its disciples rarely participate in worldly affairs.

If Lin Xiao is indeed a member of the Celestial Masters Sect, then this decision was somewhat hasty.

Perhaps we should send someone to the Celestial Masters sect to inquire first?

Thinking of this, Qin Zhenhai looked at the man in black and said, "Stop the pursuit. Send someone to the Celestial Masters Sect to inquire about the situation and see if Lin Xiao is a direct disciple of the Celestial Masters Sect."

Before the man in black could answer, the white-haired old man who had brought Qin Yanan back earlier suddenly walked in.

"Master, Captain Long has arrived and says he wants to see Miss."

Qin Zhenhai waved his hand, signaling the man in black to leave, before turning to the white-haired elder and asking, "Why does Long Yan want to see Ya Nan?"

"I think so?" The white-haired old man nodded, then seemed to have thought of something and said, "It seems that Miss joined the exorcism society that Long Yan is in charge of this time."

Qin Zhenhai shook his head slightly, somewhat helplessly saying, "Fine, let's take him to see Miss. After all, Long Yan is also a member of the Long family, and his strength is not bad either. We should still give him face."

Having received the promise, the white-haired old man turned and left.

A moment later, in the living room.

Qin Yanan, who had been detained for a day and a night, was finally released.

What she didn't expect was that the first person she would meet was this person in front of her.

She asked in surprise, "Captain Long, what brings you here?"

"I lost contact with people in Shanghai, and I couldn't get through to your personal phone, so I had no choice but to come here."

Long Yan is also a young man, and in addition to his family background, he is also very strong.

Therefore, he was able to serve as the head of the exorcism society established by the state.

Furthermore, he was in charge of all exorcism missions in the entire Azure Dragon Kingdom.

Seeing that her disappearance had prompted Captain Long to personally inquire about her, Qin Yanan felt ashamed and quickly apologized.

"I'm sorry, Captain Long. Something happened at home, and I'm afraid I can no longer take on the exorcism task force in Shanghai."

"Oh, what happened that prevented you from performing exorcisms?"

Long Yan was somewhat surprised, as he valued Qin Yanan highly.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been appointed as the person in charge of Shanghai.

He didn't want any accident to cause this capable subordinate to leave the organization.

"This..." Qin Yanan hesitated upon hearing this, and for a moment, she didn't know what to say.

After all, his current predicament was caused by the Long family.

"What's wrong? Is there something you can't say?" Long Yan glanced at Qin Yanan in front of him, his expression very calm.

Looking at the composed Long Yan, Qin Yanan thought for a moment and finally gave a brief account of the whole story.

She was going to take a gamble, and the only external force she could rely on seemed to be the Dragon Flame Captain in front of her.
