Chapter 223: Not just a coincidence


    After Wei Jiayi allowed his dragon to take over to get on the killing spree, the carcasses of the beasts that were still trying to attack him piled up.


    He severed the head of a leopard in less than a blink of an eye. Which also goes for the rest of the spirit beasts that still continued to discard their life.


    Regardless of the type of beast that attacked him, Wei Jiayi killed it effortlessly.


    Gao Lan Mei watched Wei Jaiyi who went to ughter like it was nothing, not sure to be happy for being saved or be scared that he could also do this to her anytime if he wished.


    So the rumor that he was a clean freak was not true, with the way he used his own ws to kill, allowing some of the blood to smear on his face and robes.


    She did not even know if that rumor was from the memories of the original owner of her body or just her assumption.


    Then suddenly, the beasts slowly started to move back from Wei Jiayi, crouching low, cowering in fear, giving up on their attack. Mostly left were ice wolves that moved with packs.


    Even the white lion that was circling her also moved back, despite it now being a part of the beasts, who initially attacked and surrounded Wei Jiayi.


    Wei Jiayi ignored those who moved back, so he could get back to Gao Lan Mei immediately.


    Their eyes met intently. His neck was covered with scales, he looked at her with his mismatched gray and yellow eyes with a frown, surveying her, checking if she was harmed.


    The beasts were already fleeing away from him, but he was still not back to normal. After making sure that she was unhurt, he proceeded on surveying the ce on full alert ready to pounce on anything that had ill intent.


    However, regardless of how far he extended his senses, the one who caused their current predicament was well hidden.


    Even partially shifted, Wei Jaiyi understood this as his rational side still clung like a broken melody, reminding the savage side to stay on alert. That was the reason why he was not leaving, going to follow the beasts that ran away.


    He knew that the spiritual beasts attacking suddenly were not just a coincidence, with the way they seemed to intentionally get his attention, even if it cost them their own lives.


    Spiritual beasts were known to sense danger and get away from it, not the other way around.


    When Gao Lan Mei went out of the ritual circle, despite his bloody appearance, he immediately circled his arms around her and vanished from the spot.


    ...


    Another part of Mount Hua


    A man who was standing at the edge of the cliff was intently looking at his orb, saw Wei Jiayi and Gao Lan Mei vanish, leaving them piled up dead spiritual beasts.


    Sadly he couldn''t look further, whether they went back to the Wei Prince courtyard as they might have already ced a tier four defense barrier.


    There was no problem in breaking it, but he won''t be able to do so silently. He will just have to send a message to the mole inside.


    Tilting his head, "Hmm, so we need to get rid of him before we can get close to her." He uttered indifferently like it was not a big deal.


    The man was wearing an all-white robe. When looking at his back, anyone would let their guard down. As he looked like a lonely traveler, watching the sunset standing at the edge of the cliff.


    However, when one found out what he looked like, they will immediately bound to move away.
