Whilst Hexi and her Master were speaking, neither of them tried to conceal their words . This directly caused the cloaked man to become angry again, “You dare underestimate me, directly go and die for me!”
Right after saying this, bursts of bone-chilling cold wind started up and faced Hexi and everyone else .
In response, the old man threw the empty bottle gourd away and his figure disappeared from his original spot .
Hexi hadn’t even reacted to what he had just done when she suddenly heard ‘peng’ . Soon after… Soon after the bitter cold wind dissipated and even the black fog disappeared, leaving nothing else in front of them .
That’s right, precisely… Nothing was left . The cloaked man’s presence had completely disappeared .
The old man rubbed his black palm and guiltily looked toward Hexi . With forced laughter he said, “Ai ya, it seems like I didn’t control my strength and miscalculated . ”
Hexi frowned, “Miscalculated? By how far?”
“E (hiccup)… This… That…” The old man looked at the sky, “Just then I wasn’t looking at the direction and didn’t see where he flew off to, ha ha ha… So clever disciple, even though I didn’t knock him flat… Your Master can be considered to have exerted energy, right?”
“Moreover, by the time he falls back onto the ground, he’ll definitely fall flat . He wouldn’t even be able to crawl back up after six hours . That… About that wine…”
Hexi narrowed her eyes and silently watched the old man for a long time .
She was certain that this old man had deliberately not laid a heavy hand on the cloaked man .
She stared at the old man until he nervously scratched his head . Then she loosened her expression and lightly laughed, “Rest assured, there will be plenty of wine . In any event, thanks to Master for saving us!”
“Ai ya ya, clever disciple, you’re too considerate and too filial . Your Master loves you the most…”
“Smelly old man, your entire body is full of louse and wine, quickly get away from me!”
“Clever disciple, don’t be like this . Master likes to hug you, how can you decline!”
“Do you believe that I won’t pour all the wine out in front of your face?”
“E… E… Clever disciple, clever disciple… I know my wrongs! You must give fine wine as presents (to one’s elders/superiors as a sign of respect) to Master ah!”

The fight between Hexi’s group and the cloaked man started quickly and also ended quite quickly . However, it still roused up quite a lot of movement .
Just speaking of Murong family, a few of their houses collapsed . The children in Murong family had been scared by the shaking and were reduced to shivering in their rooms, none of them dared to step foot outside .
When Jin Ling’s imperial guards arrived at the scene and saw the terrifying fighting going on, they were filled with fear . How would they dare to continue investigating? So, naturally, this matter remained unsettled .
However, who could’ve thought that Murong manor would’ve disappeared just three days after the fight occurred at Murong manor that night .
In the span of a night all of Murong manor’s guards, manservants, servant girls, and children had disappeared without a trace . Even their bones couldn’t be found .
What was the scariest part of the whole ordeal was that the houses inside Murong maner all looked as if they had been burned by a fire . Apart from ashes and fallen walls, there was nothing else .
Murong family was one of the four most influential families in Yan Jing city ah . Yet in a breaths time all of it’s people had disappeared without even the smallest bit of a trace left behind .
This matter left the people of Yan Jing city alarmed and restless for a few days . The most worried were the remaining three most influential families . Although they were busy with receiving the power of Murong family, they were still wary and fearful .
The enemy was just too powerful . They actually dared to thoroughly eliminate Murong family right in front of the imperial guards . Would there be a day when it was their own turn?
