Xia Gang glanced at the commander with some embarrassment, and then turned his gaze to me.
I thought he was here to see me off, but considering that I don’t have any friendship with him, it shouldn’t be that big of a deal.
And what he said next made me feel as if I had fallen into an ice cave.
"Qingqing can't come, she will never come."
Only then did I realize that his eyes were red and he looked haggard.
"What's wrong with Xia Qingqing?"
I sensitively noticed something. It was impossible for Xia Qingqing not to come for such an important matter, but she never showed up.
Xia Gang did not answer me, but lowered his head as if he had something to hide.
"What's wrong with her?" I yelled.
"She..." Just as Xia was about to speak, the commander interrupted him.
"Xia Gang, Li Yang is leaving soon. Time is tight. If you have anything to say, wait until he comes back."
Xia Gang immediately swallowed what he was about to say.
I stepped forward and grabbed his collar.
"What's wrong with her? Say."
Xia Gang finally sighed and said with a choked voice: "I was kidnapped by my old man."
What?
The old man of the Xia family? That is the old general, Xia Sen.
Wait, that old man is Xia Qingqing's biological grandfather, why did he take her away?
"After Sister Lanlan dies, Qingqing will be next."
I understood instantly.
The leader of the clowns once told me that Xia Lanlan ran away from home when she was a teenager and then met the leader of the clowns.
The leader of the clowns once wanted to send her back, but she refused. She said that once she went back, her grandfather would kill her.
Not to mention that the clown leader couldn't figure it out, even I couldn't figure it out, why did her grandfather kill her?
Later, the leader of the clown group told me that the reason why the Xia family has been so glorious for so many years, especially the old general, who is famous and remains standing, is all because of his life, the life of his family.
"Xia Gang, what's going on at your house?"
Xia Gang said with some difficulty: "Every 20 years, the Xia family must select a girl to sacrifice to the immortal. This can ensure the glory of my Xia family. Otherwise, the Xia family will collapse quickly at a speed visible to the naked eye. "
"I understand. Your grandfather wanted to use Xia Lanlan as a sacrifice, right? As a result, Xia Lanlan ran away from home."
"Yes, Sister Lanlan was the sacrifice chosen by grandpa himself. Although she ran away from home, grandpa still used some method to sacrifice her soul to the great immortal."
"Who would have thought that Sister Lanlan is still alive, so my grandfather..."
"Just kill her, right? Because if she doesn't die, it will be like fooling the Great Immortal. Once the Great Immortal gets angry, your Xia family will be finished."
"But even this was not enough. We had to choose another sacrifice, so the old guy chose Xia Qingqing."
Xia Gang lowered his head again and said nothing.
"What is the Great Immortal you are talking about?" I asked.
He shook his head.
"My family began to worship a great immortal many years ago. As for who that great immortal is? Why is it enshrined by our Xia family? I don't know, but I do know that the arrival of this great immortal is related to your grandfather."
"My grandpa? What do you mean? Why are you involved in my grandpa?"
He shook his head again.
"I don't know much. Anyway, it has something to do with Old Ghost Li."
He stepped forward and grabbed my arm.
"I didn't want to come. My sister said it was her fate. She didn't want to delay your important event and distract you, but...she is my biological sister. I can't just watch her..."
"Stop talking and take me to your house immediately."
After saying that, I opened the car door and was about to get into the black car. The commander slammed the car door.
"Li Yang, don't be impulsive. Leave Xia Qingqing's affairs to me. You can go to Hell Cave to find Bai Xiaoxue without any worries."
I smiled bitterly.
How can you go about your business as if nothing happened when you are worried about something?
"Commander, I have to see with my own eyes that Xia Qingqing is fine before I can leave with peace of mind."
The commander sighed.
"Time is running out, we must focus on the overall situation."
I finally broke free from his hand and got into the car.
Xia Gang also got into the car and quickly started the car.
The commander looked at the direction in which the car disappeared, saying nothing, just watching quietly.
Lan Yue said: "This kid is too unworthy, for a woman..."
But halfway through her words, she noticed that the commander's face was serious, so she swallowed the rest of her words.
The commander turned around and waved to the helicopter, signaling them to stop temporarily.
Lan Yue was still very angry.
"He is going to rescue Xia Qingqing. Can he do it better than the old man of the Xia family? I don't know how long it will take him to go there?"
The commander looked at his watch and said, "Don't worry, he will definitely be back within an hour."
Lan Yue and Lu Fei were both a little incredible.
"One hour? Boss, you think too highly of this boy. Do you think he can deal with the old man of the Xia family in one hour? He is a master who is not easy to mess with."
The commander-in-chief just smiled and said nothing.
The car drove out of the city, and more than an hour later, it stopped in front of a mountain villa in the suburbs.
This villa standing on the mountainside is exclusive to the rich. The old man of the Xia family has long since stopped caring about the world and only hides in this villa to live his life.
The only thing he worries about is to select sacrifices for the family every twenty years, so that the great immortal can make the Xia family continue to be glorious.
And I have never heard Xia Qingqing mention her grandfather before.
The car parked in the parking lot, and Xia Gang and I walked into the living room of the villa.
From the outside, this villa looks very low-key, but inside it is very luxurious.
However, the curtains in the living room were tightly drawn and the lights were not turned on, so it seemed a bit dim.
I asked: "Where is Xia Qingqing?"
Before Xia Gang could answer, a voice came from the other side of the sofa.
"Don't worry, you will see her."
It was an old man's voice that was magnetic.
"It's my grandfather." Xia Gang said.
"He has been waiting for you for a long time."
I was stunned.
Have you been waiting for me for a long time? What's the meaning? Has this old man been waiting for me?
"Young man, since you are here, please take a seat."
I saw a person sitting on the sofa with his back to us, but because of the darkness, I couldn't see clearly.
"If you want to save my sister, you have to pass the test of my grandfather." Xia Gang suddenly came closer to me and lowered his voice.
"Li Yang, everything depends on you."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
The living room door slammed shut.
I suddenly had a bad feeling.
The old man's voice came again.
"You only know about the grievances between Old Ghost Li and Immortal Slaughter, and the grievances between the three demon families, but you didn't expect that he also has grievances against my Xia family."
I stood there without moving, looking around warily.
Isn't this a trap?
"You want to duel with the Immortal Slayer and settle this grudge for your grandfather, then you must first find Bai Xiaoxue and fuse with her. But to fuse with her, you must first get the Jiangshan design, otherwise everything will be in vain .”
I was stunned. I didn't expect that he knew so much about my family.
Could it be that the Xia family is also involved?
"Actually, the Jiangshan design is among those five bells. You should know that when the two evil gods were chased and cornered, they tore the Jiangshan design into pieces and ended up with five bells."
"And now you must put these bells back together and restore the design of the country."
"Of course, you can't do it. No one in this world can do it, except me."
I was stunned.
"What do you mean?"
I don't think this old man is simple. I'm afraid he asked Xia Gang to trick me into coming here.
But what is his purpose?
"Don't be nervous. Although I am not your friend, I am not your enemy either. I just want to make a deal with you."
"This deal is beneficial to both you and me. If it can be done, it will ensure that you win the duel, and it will also allow my Xia family to completely escape from the control of the great immortal."
"Of course, my precious granddaughter Xia Qingqing will no longer have to be used as a tribute to the great immortal."
"Aren't you here just for her? So for her, you will agree to make a deal with me, right?"
I said, "What on earth is going on with the Great Immortal you are talking about? What is the grudge between you and my grandfather?"
"If you want to hear it, I'll tell you."
"Some things may not have much to do with you, but if you know them, they will be beneficial to you."
"Sit down and let's have a nice chat."
I slowly walked around to the front of the sofa and saw an old man in a gray Tang suit, wearing glasses, with gray hair and beard.
He had a slim figure and an awe-inspiring temperament.
A soldier's life is by no means an ordinary person.
I sat down opposite him.
"You know the three demon families in Yanxia, right? The Long family, the Yin family, and the Chu family."
