Cultivation Online novel Chapter 1214

1214 City Engulfed in Flames

"Yuan! Meili! Is everything okay?!" Xi Mingze was the first to speak after their arrival.

"W-We are fine, but what are you two doing here?" Xi Meili stared at them with a dazed look on her face.

"We heard a powerful dragon's roar unlike anything we've heard before, so we rushed here to investigate." Xi Shengmo said.

"You heard that from here?" Xi Meili was surprised.

It was at this moment Xi Shengmo and Xi Mingze noticed the corpses behind her.

"T-That face… Patriarch Liang and General Zheng?!?! W-Why are they dead?! What happened here?!" Xi Shengmo exclaimed.

He didn't think for a second that Yuan or Xi Meili were responsible for their deaths even though they were on the scene with nobody else there.

In fact, he believed that they were killed by the unknown entity that released the dragon's roar.

"Is this also caused by that dragon?" Xi Mingze swallowed nervously.

If the entity dared to kill someone as prominent as Patriarch Liang, it probably won't hesitate to go after them either.

"Actually… About that…" Xi Meili had a nervous smile on her face, her body fidgeting slightly.

"What? What happened?" Xi Shengmo stared at her intensively.

Yuan stepped in and said, "I'm responsible for this."

"What?" Xi Shengmo and Xi Mingze turned to look at him with wide eyes filled with disbelief.

"I killed them." He repeated with more clarity.

"You killed Patriarch Liang?! Why would you do such a thing?!" Xi Shengmo exclaimed.

"Give us a chance to explain!" Xi Meili said, and she proceeded to explain to entire situation to her parents.

Unsurprisingly, they became increasingly upset as they heard the details.

"That traitorous snake, Patriarch Cui! How dare he lust after my wife after everything our family has done for their family?!" Xi Shengmo appeared to be more angry at Patriarch Cui lusting after Xi Mingze than Patriarch Liang wanting to consume their Xi Family.

"The Azure Dragon Family and the Emerald Dragon Family are working together to take down our Xi Family, huh? Although I'm a little surprised, I can't say that I didn't see this coming." Xi Mingze sighed.

"You knew they'd attack?" Yuan raised an eyebrow.

"Well, not really, but I always had this uncomfortable feeling about them, like they are up to no good." Xi Mingze casually shrugged, her reaction to the situation somewhat lackluster.

"Regardless, I would like to extend my utmost gratitude to you as well as apologize for putting you in such a position…"

Yuan shook his head and said, "I am doing this because I want to. You don't have to thank me. Anyways, we should continue our chatter later, once we end this whole thing, as the situation is still progressing as we speak."
