“Ding! You have obtained High-Grade Spirit Stone * 5, Top-Tier Spirit Weapon * 1…”

The appearance of the System notification meant that Cui Tai's life force had been severed, and he had perished right there!

"The power of the nine crystalline snowflakes is truly extraordinary!"

Su Lang stood before the ice sculpture that was Cui Tai, a satisfied smile appearing on the corner of his mouth.

Immediately, he reached out and tapped with his finger, and Cui Tai's massive body instantly collapsed, turning into powder!

"Haha, so this is how the most thorough pulverization comes about?"

Looking at Cui Tai, who had been left without a complete corpse, Su Lang laughed heartily, then walked into the distance while taking stock of his gains.

"This time's harvest includes the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire, which is currently being refined."

"Then there are the Spirit Stones worth over 5 million in total, plus a Top-Tier Spirit Weapon, oh, and there are Medicinal Pills too~"

"Tsk tsk, as expected of a Martial Commander, so rich!"

Looking at the spoils of war in his Storage Space, Su Lang could not help but reveal a hint of excitement.

Just then, a cautious yet extremely urgent voice suddenly came from behind: "My… Lord, please stay your steps!"

"Hmm?"

Su Lang turned around to look and saw that Granny Ke had a fearful expression on her face, looking as if she wanted to say something but was holding back.

Looking at Ji Ruxue, she kept her head lowered, occasionally looking up at Su Lang, not knowing what she was thinking.

"Speak quickly if you have something to say, stop dawdling!"

Granny Ke had left a very bad impression on Su Lang, so he did not speak very politely.

"My Lord!"

Granny Ke looked at Su Lang with some awe, then pulled Ji Ruxue down to kneel on the ground with her, saying sorrowfully: "My Lord, I beg you to take in my Young Miss!"

"Oh? Why?"

Su Lang raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"Surely you heard what Cui Tai said…"

Granny Ke said with a gloomy expression, "My Young Miss is a half-breed of the Wind Spirit Clan and the Human Race.

She was born into the most powerful Ji Family in Dongfang City and should have had a wonderful life.

But because of her Bloodline, she is regarded as a disgrace to the Ji Family and is currently being hunted down under the orders of the Ji Family!"

"The Wind Spirit Clan!?"

"Earlier, Cui Tai mentioned something about invading life forms; could he have been referring to the Wind Spirit Clan? Tell me in detail!"

Su Lang's expression shifted, and he looked at Granny Ke and Ji Ruxue with some astonishment.

"Yes!"

Although Granny Ke felt a bit surprised that Su Lang did not know about the Wind Spirit Clan, she still said: "The Wind Spirit Clan are the extraterrestrial life forms that opened the Space-Time Fissure two thousand years ago and invaded Blue Star!

They are almost identical to humans, but their appearance is more handsome, and everyone has snow-white hair.

Their strength is very powerful, even the weakest among them is at the Martial King Level.

But precisely because of this, it is very difficult for them to cross the Space-Time Fissure and invade Blue Star in person.

Therefore, they continuously send the Vicious Beasts they raise into Blue Star to consume the strength of the Human Race.

More than ten years ago, a terrifying Vicious Beast tide occurred in Dongfang City. In that battle, a rare Wind Spirit Clan member appeared.

At that time, that Wind Spirit Clan life form was unstoppable; the barriers of Dongfang City collapsed, and it was almost destroyed. It was only by relying on the Blue Star Main City to turn the tide that they barely managed to hold on.

And it was in that battle that Ji Ruxue's mother went missing; it was only a year later that she reappeared in the Ji Family."

"So that's how it is."

Su Lang nodded in realization.

During the Vicious Beast tide battle in Red Maple City, he had vaguely felt that there was a mastermind controlling things, and now he finally understood some of the truths about this world.

At this moment, Granny Ke continued: "My Young Miss is being hunted by people in her family because of her Bloodline.

Cui Tai was just one of the pursuers; he is dead, but there are other endless pursuers!

These pursuers have all mastered a kind of tracking Secret Technique that can find the Young Miss based on her unique half-breed aura!

The reason we attempted to refine the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire was for its ability to extinguish aura.

Now that the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire has been subdued by you, as long as you use its aura-extinguishing ability to extinguish the Young Miss's aura, those pursuers will lose their target and become like headless flies!

In that way, the Young Miss will completely escape the Ji Family's pursuit!

My Lord, you are the only one who can save the Young Miss now; I beg you to have mercy and take in my Young Miss!"

By the end, Granny Ke kowtowed heavily to Su Lang three times.

"Aura extinguishing?"

Su Lang's expression shifted, "So the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire has this function!"

Although he had obtained the Profound Cloud Pure Moon Fire, he did not know what wonderful functions this exotic fire had until he refined it.

Immediately, Su Lang's gaze turned to Ji Ruxue.

At this moment, Ji Ruxue was kneeling beside Granny Ke.

Her large, tear-filled eyes shimmered with lingering terror, a newfound brilliance, and a trace of shy hope.

Su Lang had a good impression of this innocent, cute, kind, and pure young girl.

Moreover, there were many benefits to taking in Ji Ruxue; just the three Advanced Cultivation Techniques she possessed were quite good!

However, once he decided to take in Ji Ruxue, it meant becoming an enemy of the Ji Family in Dongfang City.

And this was not the most critical point; Su Lang was not afraid of being enemies with anyone.

For Su Lang, the most critical thing was two other words: Entanglement.

For Su Lang, who was used to being alone, Entanglement meant being tied down, having concerns, representing a fatal weakness, and also representing a memory that one could not bear to look back on.

"My Lord! I beg you!"

Seeing Su Lang silent for a long time, Granny Ke was immediately terrified and anxious.

Immediately, she suddenly thought of something and instantly knocked her head on the ground: "My Lord, I was blind before! I should not have cursed you!

I was wrong, I am willing to die, I am willing to pay any price, I only beg you to have a kind heart and take in my Young Miss!"

Su Lang looked up at the sky, his gaze as deep as a black hole.

"My Lord! I beg you!"

Granny Ke was in tears, begging continuously, "My Young Miss is very well-behaved, and her Aptitude is very good; in the future, she will definitely be a great help to you!"

"Fine, I accept!"

Su Lang closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, then nodded.

In the end, he was still unable to stand by and watch, unable to watch this kind and cute girl struggle painfully in a tragic fate and die in despair.
