Chapter 2292: Chapter 2288: Audacious Lust?

With Xiao Yi’s alchemist skills, he could almost immediately determine how severe Lu Lingxue’s injuries were upon seeing her current facial condition and sensing her current aura.

In the distance, that rapidly moving figure gradually vanished into the wind and snow.

The speed of that figure was so fast that even Xiao Yi almost failed to react, feeling only a blur before his eyes.

"Ice Illusion Body?" Xiao Yi looked at the back of that figure with some astonishment.

If he chose to pursue now, he might have a chance to catch up.

But if he pursued, with Lu Lingxue’s injuries in his arms, she was doomed.

If Lu Lingxue were to die directly in his arms, he feared it would be hard to explain.

But if he didn’t pursue, the consequences...

"Damn it." Xiao Yi gritted his teeth, ultimately giving up the chase. A flame gathered at his fingertip, touching Lu Lingxue’s neck.

With his reflexes, he almost instantly made a judgment, and almost at the moment his heart skipped a beat, he knew what would happen next.

Sure enough...

Woosh... Woosh... Woosh... Woosh...

Boom... Boom... Boom... Boom...

The fierce impact that occurred when he caught Lu Lingxue’s figure, the collision and explosive sounds it generated, were enough to shake several hundred miles around, like a high-altitude thunderclap.

Such a commotion would definitely alarm the experts within the Ice Emperor Palace in the distant future.

Four figures leaped from the Ice Emperor Palace, and then their vast perceptions rapidly spread.

In the next moment, the four figures transformed into four astonishing streaks of light, rushing swiftly.

In just a few breaths, Xia Yifeng, Lu Long, Guardian Bing, and Guardian Nangong had arrived.

At the same time, within the Ice Emperor Palace, powerful auras continually poured in.

As the shocking explosion here attracted attention inside the Ice Emperor Palace, nothing here could escape the perception of the experts within.

"Xiao Yi." Lu Long gritted his teeth, coldly staring at Xiao Yi.

More accurately, he was staring at the severely injured and unconscious Lu Lingxue in Xiao Yi’s arms.

"Xiao Yi, what are you doing?" Lu Long’s tone suddenly turned cold and alarming.

"Hall Master, you..." Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong hesitated.

Within a few breaths, one elder after another arrived.

"This, this, this... Snow Venerate Envoy, she... such a weak aura..."

"Such serious injuries..."

A few elders first reacted from their shock, looking at Xiao Yi with disbelief, coldly staring.

At the same time, in the distance, more and more figures flew through the air.

They were the Sixteen Venerable Envoys, the young generation of Heavenly Talents from the Ice Emperor Palace and Ice Storm Sword Pavilion.

All of them had Saint Sovereign Realm cultivation, so their arrival was slightly slower than the elders and protectors, but only just.

After all, for a Saint Sovereign Realm expert, a hundred-mile distance was just a blink.

"Lingxue." The first to tremble and exclaim was naturally Lu Lingxue’s sister, Lu Lingshuang.

"Xiao Yi, you vile scoundrel, put down Lingxue at once!" Lu Meng roared.

From the Four Great Guardians, each elder, to the young generation of both major forces, only about ten seconds had passed in total.

After a day, Xiao Yi once again found himself surrounded by everyone giving him cold stares, just like yesterday.

Xiao Yi’s face turned unpleasant, but he did not put down Lu Lingxue, his finger still pressing against her neck.

If anything were to really happen to Lu Lingxue, it would be impossible for him to clear his name.

Everyone looked at Xiao Yi in shock and suspicion. Even if some had guessed a bit, they were still incredulous, and more felt an extreme coldness, disgust, and even contempt.

"Xiao Yi." Lu Long’s face was dark, "I am asking you, what exactly are you doing?"

"And weren’t you in the Xia Family Territory? How did you appear here? And why is Lingxue gravely injured in your arms?"

Before Xiao Yi could answer.

Lu Gao and Lu Meng had already barked angrily, "Clan Leader, isn’t it obvious?"

Lu Yao chimed in, "Xiao Yi, you vile scoundrel, how dare you be so brazen?"

"You already harmed Senior Sister Lingshuang, destroyed her purity, and now you want to harm Junior Sister Lingxue?"

"Perhaps calling you a lecherous fiend is not enough?"

"You clearly should give our Ice Storm Sword Pavilion an explanation, yet you oiled your feet and fled out of guilt?"

"Fleeing is one thing, but you didn’t forget to abduct Junior Sister Lingxue before you left?"

"You vile scoundrel, your lust was rekindled, and when Junior Sister Lingxue refused to submit, you wanted to kill her? To snatch and harm her life?"

"Xiao Yi." Upon hearing this, Lu Long’s fist clenched, cracking sounds emerging, and veins subtly appearing on his face.

While Xiao Yi was treating Lu Lingxue’s injuries, his fingertip flame swiftly nurtured her gravely injured body, he coldly glanced at Lu Long.

"Old fool, are you blind? Can’t you see I’m saving her?"

Lu Long furrowed his brows. He naturally recognized the Golden Flame Sacred Fire surging at Xiao Yi’s fingertip, and he could also sense Lu Lingxue’s gradually calming weak aura.

Unexpectedly, Lu Yao coldly retorted, "Saving her? Now that the guardians and elders are all present, of course, you’d pretend to save her. Do you think you would dare kill someone in front of all these esteemed experts?"

"Even if you had the guts, someone as cunning as you, Xiao Yi, surely wouldn’t be so foolish."

Upon hearing this, everyone around furrowed their brows.

Lu Gao snorted, "This scene is so familiar, isn’t it?"

"Just a few days ago, this vile scoundrel Xiao Yi did the same, in front of the Ice Emperor Palace and all of us at the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion, holding Senior Sister Lingshuang, pretending to treat her injuries?"

"Everyone knows the real reason now."

"Now, this vile scoundrel Xiao Yi is trying the same trick again."

Lu Meng shouted coldly, "Xiao Yi, you think everyone here is a fool?"

"How utterly infuriating, truly infuriating." The martial artists of the Ice Storm Sword Pavilion gritted their teeth, their killing intent palpable.

On the Ice Emperor Palace’s side, Bing Yu first sneered coldly, "Just days ago, he harmed Senior Sister Lingshuang, and now he’s targeting her sister. Tsk tsk, Master Xiao Yi, your audacity is truly sky-high."

Nangong Ming shook his head, a teasing smile on his face, "I think he’s just greedy, planning to enjoy the blessing of having both sisters?"

"But this matter of capturing both sisters is something only wicked and lecherous scoundrels would do. Our dignified Master Xiao Yi, secretly, are you actually so shamefully disgraceful?"

Bing Mei’er chuckled behind her hand, "Looks like Master Xiao Yi is in excellent health."

Listening to these harsh words, Xiao Yi’s face grew darker and darker.

"Bastard." Lu Long immediately erupted, "Put down Lingxue, scum like you don’t deserve to save her."

"Wait." Xia Yifeng stepped forward, stopping Lu Long.

Guardian Bing and Guardian Nangong, who had previously suffered losses, reacted quickly this time, joining forces to stop Lu Long, "Guardian Lu Long, don’t be hasty."

"Guardian Lu Long." Xia Canglan said gravely, "The matter hasn’t been clarified yet. Once Lingxue girl wakes up, we’ll know the truth, won’t we?"

"Fine." Lu Long clenched his teeth, "I’ll believe you one more time."

Xiao Yi’s face was cold, silent.

After about ten minutes, Lu Lingxue’s aura gradually recovered, and her injuries were at least stabilized.

Her pale face regained a bit of redness.

Her beautiful eyes also opened slightly, though still somewhat disoriented.

"Hmm?" Lu Lingxue, with blurred vision, looked at Xiao Yi.

The first thing that caught her eye was an exceedingly handsome and refined face, so captivating with just one look, it would make any heart sway, impossible to look away.

At such a close distance, feeling the warmth of the face’s owner, such a comfortable feeling, and that ethereal aura, were enough to make any girl’s heart race.

"You are..." Lu Lingxue instinctively said, her vision gradually cleared.

When she clearly saw this face, her pupils instantly contracted, and then her expression changed.

"Aren’t you that lecherous scoundrel?" Lu Lingxue instinctively shouted, then realized her current situation, instantly crying out in alarm, "Ah... Lecher, get away."

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Lingxue hurriedly struggled to get up and instinctively swung her palm.

Pa... A crisp slap landed on Xiao Yi’s face.

The resounding slap immediately stunned everyone, and then they all came back to their senses.

The ’unfounded’ ’facts’ were instantly confirmed at that moment.
