Chapter 86 The Xiang Family Has Arrived
Xiang Yuan, who was still breathing, collapsed to the ground, unable to catch his breath after hearing Ji Daoyi's words.
He couldn't believe until his death that Ji Daoyi would really kill him!
Ji Daoyi never intended to let him leave, and Xiang Yuan, who was being played around, still thought he could get revenge later.
After all the problems were resolved smoothly, it was time for Ji Daoyi's favorite part: looting corpses. He was lucky and obtained a medium-grade storage bag from Xiang Yuan, while the others only got low-grade storage bags!
He didn't clean up the bodies when he left, probably because there were no survivors and he was too lazy to deal with them!
Ji Daoyi drove the carriage to the vicinity of the Tagalag Forest of Monsters.
With a single stroke, he cleaved open the iron cage imprisoning the wolf king. Awakened by the noise, the wolf king looked up at Ji Daoyi with a puzzled expression, as if to ask, "You just opened the cage like that? Aren't you afraid I'll do something to you?"
"Your injuries should be almost healed by now! Go back on your own; your wolf cubs are probably waiting for you. Don't get caught again, or you won't be so lucky to run into me next time!"
After Ji Dao finished speaking, without waiting for the Wolf King's response, he used his movement technique to rush into the Monster Forest and disappeared!
The wolf king was left standing on the carriage, still looking completely bewildered, staring blankly at his departing figure.
It was free, and should have been very happy.
But for some reason, Ji Daoyi's departure left it with a sense of loss, like an abandoned child.
"Ouch..."
It let out a howl and leaped into the monster forest!

A guard hurriedly entered the study of Xiang Nantian, the head of the Xiang family.
"Report!"
"What's all the fuss about? Did someone come knocking on our door?"
"Master...Master, Young Master Xiang Yuan has been murdered! He was discovered by the returning team on the way back from the Demon Beast Forest!"
"What? How could Yuan'er be dead? Who killed my Yuan'er!"
Upon hearing this, Xiang Nantian suddenly stood up, his eyes filled with boundless killing intent.
"Reporting to the patriarch, the investigation is still ongoing!"
"Useless! Pass down the word: whoever finds the murderer will be rewarded with five thousand gold stones!" Seeing that the guards hadn't left yet, Xiang Nantian asked again, "Is there anything else?"
"It was the rogue cultivator who brought back the young master's body who demanded a thousand spirit stones as payment. I didn't know..."
"Rogue cultivators? They're suspects too. Lock them up first, and kill them if we can't find the murderer!"
"Yes, master!"
These rogue cultivators probably never dreamed that their kindness in helping to bring back their young master's body would instead bring them disaster!
Because of Xiang Yuan's situation, the entire town was trembling with fear. Many people were unjustly arrested and tortured by the Xiang family!
Even Daoshu City was thrown into chaos by the Xiang family, but because the Xiang family patriarch lost his son, the five major forces tacitly refrained from speaking out.
The Xiang family is considered one of the top second-tier families in Daoshu City, but because they have never produced a Nascent Soul Realm expert, they cannot be considered a first-tier power.
Even the five major families were unwilling to offend the Xiang family too much, as they did not want the family to side with any of the other families.
Several hours passed,
Xiang Nantian looked at the information he had gathered and fell into deep thought. Then he stood up and asked, "Does the Ji family know about this?"
"Reporting to the patriarch, they probably don't know yet, after all, we only deduced the result based on the information! So..." The steward was interrupted by Xiang Nantian before he could finish speaking.
"Since you don't know, spread the word now that the murderer who killed Xiang Yuan has been dealt with. Contact Second Master and have him secretly lead a team to the Tagalah Monster Forest. Regardless of whether he killed my son or not, he will be executed! Also, deal with those rogue cultivators we captured today."
"Patriarch, if the Ji family finds out about this... we..."
"Then let them never know that there are so many monsters in there, and accidents happen all the time. Does the Ji family dare to attack us without any evidence?"
"Yes, Master. I will go and inform the Second Master right away."
Ji Daoyi, far away in the Tagalag Forest of Monsters, was unaware that the Xiang family suspected him of killing Xiang Yuan and was arranging for someone to take him down.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't be afraid, after all, he was the one who killed Xiang Yuan!
As for regret, needless to say!
Being merciful to the enemy is being cruel to oneself and even one's own family. He didn't want to wait until the future to regret not dealing with these troubles sooner.
Ji Daoyi ventured deep into the Demon Beast Forest this time, where he was surrounded by demon beasts at the Meridian Opening Realm, and naturally, the spiritual materials of heaven and earth were also much more abundant.
He didn't come here for the elixir, but to find a suitable place for cultivation.
As for why he didn't cultivate in the inner courtyard but came to such a dangerous place, it was of course to avoid the current situation and at the same time to improve his combat ability against demonic beasts.
Three days later,
Ji Daoyi discovered the Water Curtain Cave by chance, a place that was very suitable for him to live in.
The Water Curtain Cave residence wasn't very large, but it was more than enough for him to live in alone.
The Water Curtain Cave shows obvious signs of human intervention, but there are no signs of human activity in the entire Water Curtain Cave now.
Not only does it have this natural waterfall as a safety barrier, but it also allows Ji Daoyi to perform underwater impact training below the waterfall.
After arriving at the waterfall at Jidao Station, I saw the white waterfall. I couldn't help but exclaim, "A white rainbow descends from the sky, and a thousand layers of snow waves resemble butterflies in flight. With such a beautiful sight, it's no wonder that someone would carve out a cave to live in here."
He then leaped onto a boulder below the waterfall, feeling the force of the cascading water.
"Indeed, the impact of this waterfall is even stronger than the gravity in the gravity chamber. This is indeed a good place."
After meditating under the waterfall for a while, he left reluctantly.
The waterfall was beautiful, but being soaked in the water for a long time still made him feel uncomfortable.
Time flies, and Ji Daoyi has been in the Water Curtain Cave for nearly five days. He originally thought he could stay here until the inheritance site opens.
Unexpectedly, while he was out searching for traces of monsters and stretching his muscles, he encountered the Xiang family's men who were hunting him down.
If this person hadn't wanted to capture Ji Daoyi alone to claim credit, and hadn't assumed that Ji Daoyi was just a child with no real strength, and thus launched a sneak attack, it would have been different.
How could Ji Daoyi give such a person a chance to launch a sneak attack? He casually struck the man with a palm strike, severely injuring him.
Ji Daoyi did not immediately finish him off, but instead asked, "Tell me, why did you ambush me? We've never met before, so there shouldn't be any hatred between us."
"Pah, kid, stop pretending. You can't escape. If you know what's good for you, let me go and come back with me to confess your crimes. Maybe our patriarch will take pity on you and leave you a whole corpse."
Ji Daoyi was amused by the person in front of him and asked with interest, "Oh? Who is your family head? And why did you want to kill me?"
“Our patriarch already knows about your killing of our Xiang family’s young master. Second Master has even personally led the clan’s experts to capture you. You can’t escape.”
