Iwao exerted all his strength and clashed with Ensio, pushing him back several meters.
But he was not unscathed. His arm hung limp at his side, bones shattered.
The injuries were severe!
Driven by the ferocious strength of his physique, Iwao continued his relentless assault, his eyes clear and frenzied.
"You think you can escape, you little bastard? Chase him down!" Ensio roared in anger, turning to summon his Saber-Headed Vulture, intending for it to pursue with its speed.
However, when he laid eyes on it, Ensio's pupils contracted.
The Saber-Headed Vulture was covered in wounds, exhausted, and unable to continue fighting.
A jolt of realization struck him.
How could Travis, just a First Rank Illusionary Beast, defeat his Saber-Headed Vulture?
This kid harbored too many secrets. He must not be allowed to live!
Just as everyone prepared to chase after Iwao, a terrifying wave of energy swept down, violently shattering the street in front of them.
Boom!
Under this horrifying Spiritual Energy, the street was severed, forming a terrifying trench at least dozens of meters deep!
A figure lazily strolled out of a nearby tavern.
Her beautiful eyes scanned the scene, finally settling on Ensio, as she casually inquired, "Are you the one in charge of the Leach Family now?"
As the girl spoke, many onlookers gasped in shock, feeling as if a heavy weight pressed down on their hearts.
From this girl emanated an indelible nobility, her every move and gesture exuding an air of superiority, instinctively inspiring a sense of reverence.
Just her presence alone rendered the entire crowd breathless.
How strong must she be to accomplish this?
"I...I am..." Ensio lowered his head deeply.
Faced with the girl's inquiry, he felt a surge of frustration.
But he dared not show any impatience.
From her demeanor and aura, it was clear that her strength was considerable.
Especially that move earlier, which created a trench with a single gesture!
At least the Eighth Level of Earth Spirit Realm or higher could achieve such a feat.
"Darn it! Letting that kid escape like this!" The head of a small family shouted angrily at Ensio. "You promised us you'd kill Iwao and give us an explanation!"
"Annoying!" The girl frowned and flicked her finger.
Squelch!
The clan leader's head exploded into a cloud of blood mist.
No one could see how she did it from start to finish.
This scene shocked everyone present.
Even Ensio was completely dumbfounded!
His lips trembled as he stammered, "Th-this, miss, what brings you to the Leach Family?"
He couldn't believe that someone as powerful as her would suddenly appear without reason.
"Adino's plaque is enshrined in your Leach Family shrine, right?" The girl beckoned with her finger. "Bring it to me!"
"Adino's plaque?"
Ensio was also taken aback. He didn't understand why the other party was demanding it.
Adino had been dead for so many years, so why would someone suddenly come to ask for his plaque?
Could it be that there was some secret on the plaque?
Or was the other party related to Adino?
"My young lady is asking you a question. Are you deaf?" A dignified lady walked over, her eyes full of disdain.
The sudden intervention of the girl had surprised her.
Based on her understanding of her young lady, she seemed casual, but in reality, she was deliberately helping Iwao out of the situation.
But Aunt Lilly didn't dwell on it.
It was nothing more than her young lady finding it amusing and giving the kid a hand.
Between the two of them, the difference in status was like that between a firefly and the moon. They would never have any intersection in this lifetime!
"Earlier, Iwao broke into the shrine and took Adino's plaque," a disciple of the Leach Family stepped forward to answer.
"Hmm?" The girl raised her eyebrows.
The plaque was taken by that kid?
At this point, it was too late to track him down again.
There was a secret hidden in Adino's plaque.
This was precisely the purpose of her visit!
"Miss..." Aunt Lilly approached, hesitant to speak.
"Forget it, let him go. We'll meet again sooner or later!" The girl waved her hand dismissively, lazily turned around, and walked to a carriage parked by the street.
Watching the carriage depart, many clan leaders approached, their eyes filled with frustration. "Who...who is she?"
If it weren't for this girl's intervention, they would have probably slaughtered Iwao long ago!
How could they let him escape?
Watching the carriage, Ensio trembled, his lips pale. "There...there's the emblem of the Fiery Fire Sect on the carriage!"
"Fiery Fire Sect?"
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The Fiery Fire Sect was even stronger than the Wind Sword Sect, and it was the most powerful sect in the Land of the Five Kingdoms!
The Land of the Five Kingdoms was a vast territory composed of the Cyan Kingdom, Quetron Kingdom, Xesham Kingdom, Capefil Kingdom, and Syton Kingdom.
Since this girl came from the Fiery Fire Sect, her identity was becoming clear!
It was rumored that Rana, the daughter of the sect master of the Fiery Fire Sect, was extraordinarily talented and had a unique way of doing things. She was hailed as the number one beauty of the heavens!
Could it be that the girl was Rana?
"If it's her, why would she come to demand Adino's plaque?"
Some disciples of the Leach Family couldn't help but ask, "Adino has been dead for so many years, he should have been forgotten by now!"
No one answered.
Because no one knew.
Ensio closed his eyes in anguish. After a moment, he suddenly let out a roar that pierced the clouds!
This time, he failed to kill Iwao. Would there be another chance in the future?
...
...
Iwao dashed out of the city and took refuge deep inside the Purple Chain Mountain in a cave.
The area was covered in thick fog, making it difficult for Illusionary Beasts to track his scent!
After setting Tammy down, Iwao leaned heavily against the mountain wall, gasping for breath.
The previous exertion had indeed pushed him to his limits.
"Iwao, you... you're badly injured!" Tears welled up in Tammy's beautiful eyes as she gently wiped the blood from Iwao's face, her touch tender.
"Sis, I'm fine..." Iwao grinned.
With the Myriad Wood Soaring Body, he would recover in no time.
Tammy nodded, but just as she was about to speak, her body suddenly trembled. Her pretty face quickly turned pale, and she began to emit a visible chill, curling up involuntarily.
"Iwao, I... I'm so cold..." Tammy's expression was one of agony, her voice hoarse.
Iwao's pupils constricted.
Oh no, Tammy's influenza is acting up again!
He quickly rummaged through the Storage Ring, searching for elixirs. Soon, he found a bottle, but to his dismay, it was empty!
"The antidote is gone!" Iwao's eyes were filled with frustration.
In the past, this pill had always helped alleviate Tammy's symptoms during the influenza!
In desperation, Iwao grabbed Travis. "Aren't you the Primordial Hongmeng Tree? Aren't you knowledgeable? Quick, find a way to save my sister!
