On a hill not far from Blackstone Town, a middle-aged man in black stood abruptly, looking down at the entire town, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.
"Tap, step..."
Following the rapid footsteps, a fat middle-aged man walked behind the man in black. He was covered with a black veil and immediately bowed when he saw the man in black.
"Master Min, Zhu has made arrangements. I believe there will be good news soon. As long as that little baby Yuwen Tuo dies, everything in Blackstone Town will be under your control."
"Well, there are less than two months left, nothing can be lost, otherwise..."
"Don't worry, sir."
"Hmph." The man in black waved his hand, and the middle-aged man retreated as if he was relieved.
…………
As evening approaches, looking around for dozens of miles, Blackstone Town appears calm under the glow of the sun.
Blackstone Town has two big families, the Yuwen family and the Zhu family, as well as several smaller families. This pattern has lasted for more than thirty years. The two families have similar backgrounds. They have been fighting openly and secretly for many years, and no one can take advantage of the other.
As soon as the three brothers and sisters entered the town, they heard the constant shouting of various street vendors. Yuwen Lianxing immediately blended into it. When they saw something good, they immediately joined in. Yuwen Tuo and Yu Wenlei were also not surprised.
As one of the two major families in Blackstone Town, the Yuwen family occupies nearly 30% of the industry in Blackstone Town. Many of the shops, blacksmith shops, medicine pavilions, and restaurants have the Yuwen family's signboard.
"Miss Lianxing, these are a new batch of goods. There are knives, guns, swords, and sticks. If you like them, just pick one and treat it as my filial piety to you."
Yuwen Lianxing picked up a dagger and shook it a few times before putting it back. As the daughter of the Yuwen family, she usually saw many spiritual weapons and obviously looked down upon these inferior weapons.
After walking around for a while, until Yuwen Lianxing was completely satisfied, the three brothers and sisters walked towards Yuwen's house.
There were four guards standing at the gate, the lowest being Body Refining Realm warriors who had opened a spiritual vein.
The guard saw the three brothers and sisters approaching and was about to salute.
Suddenly, Yu Wen Lei stopped, his expression suddenly condensed, and he hit Yu Wen Tuo next to him in desperation. In the next second, a life-threatening arrow shot through the air.
"call out!"
The arrow shot directly into Yuwen Tuo's left shoulder, causing blood to splash. Yu Wen Lei subconsciously blocked Yuwen Tuo's body, and Yu Wen Lianxing turned pale with fear.
"You bastard, get out of here if you have the guts!" Only then did the four guards react, and they immediately rushed forward and stood in a row. But there was no one in the direction where the arrow was shot.
At this time, Yuwen Tuo was already unconscious, and the four guards had no choice but to give up the pursuit and immediately carried Yuwen Tuo in.
"No, no, something happened to Master Tuo. Please inform the elders immediately!"
In the Yuwen family meeting hall, there are seven people sitting scattered at the moment. These people are all senior members of the Yuwen family. Even ordinary elders are not qualified to participate in family discussions. Only the truly strong people who have entered the Lingyuan realm are the ones in charge of the family. .
At this moment, everyone's brows were deeply furrowed, and the one in the middle had a dignified look on his brows. This person was the clan leader Yu Wenlong.
"boom!"
Yu Wenlong smashed the table to pieces with one palm, "It's unreasonable, it's simply unreasonable! You actually tried to shoot my son at the door of Yuwen's house. If you find out who it is, I will grind his bones to ashes."
"Brother, please calm down. Fortunately, it didn't hit the vital point. Tuo'er will definitely survive the catastrophe." The person who spoke was the second master of the Yuwen family, Yu Wenxiao.
"Second brother, you are proficient in pharmacology. How is Tuoer's condition now?"
"The arrow was poisoned, but fortunately it didn't hit the vital point. I have controlled the poison, but it will probably take at least several months to completely eliminate it..."
"Hateful! It must be the Zhu family. There has been constant friction with the Zhu family over the years, but I didn't expect them to become more and more courageous! Could it be that I, Yu Wenlong, can't be bullied?"
A terrifying spiritual power enveloped the entire meeting hall. Although several people present were elders of the Lingyuan realm, most of them were at the first or second level of the Lingyuan realm. Under the pressure of the spiritual power of the sixth level of the Lingyuan realm, Their faces were slightly red, and if the spiritual pressure hadn't been dispersed, they might have been even more embarrassed.
The same scene was played out in another place. In a dark room of the Zhu family, a fat middle-aged man with an angry expression was none other than Zhu Li, the contemporary patriarch of the Zhu family, who was scolding his subordinates.
"Trash, you are at the ninth level of body refining. You can't even assassinate a little baby. What use do you have!"
"Clan leader, please calm down. If a young man in gray shirt hadn't interfered with his situation this time, my subordinates would have killed Yuwen Tuo. Please give him another chance."
"Young man? Aren't you just another little kid? You're a waste. You're just trying to scare someone away. Get out of here!"
"I obey." However, just when he passed through the gate of hell and thought he had saved his life, a man in black appeared in front of him out of thin air. The sword light flashed, and a blood mark slowly appeared on his neck. He didn't even have a chance to speak, and he refused to rest in peace.
"Sir, you...this person is my Zhu family elder after all." The head of the Zhu family said with heartache.
"Why, Zhu Li, you still want to keep this kind of trash! Well, luckily the little baby was seriously poisoned. If anything goes wrong in the plan, you know what will happen to the Zhu family..."
"Yes Yes……"
"The envoy from the Lingyan Sect will arrive in another month. As long as the plan is successfully completed, I will help you deal with the Yuwen family slowly!"
"That's right, I believe Master Min."
In the Yuwen family, several days passed, but Yuwen Tuo still showed no significant improvement. The whole family was in panic, and Yu Wen Lei and Yu Wen Lian Xing were directly ordered not to go out.
In a secluded courtyard, Yu Wenlei had been shut up in his house all day and night.
"call……"
Once again, he pushed his spiritual power to the extreme. He calmed down and sweated on his forehead. He took a cold shower and started practicing his daily spiritual power again.
He has been practicing this way for the past six months. He found that as his mental power increased, his cultivation speed increased by leaps and bounds.
"No, it's not enough! I've been feeling uneasy lately. I've never had this sense of crisis before. No matter what, we must improve our strength as soon as possible."
Thinking of this, Yu Wenlei took out a book of exercises from his arms, with the three words "Jingxinjue" written on it. This was borrowed by Yu Wenlei from the elder of the family martial arts pavilion.
Jingxin Jue is just a low-level side-level technique. It has no other use than helping people to concentrate and calm down. However, Yu Wenlei wanted to try it.
After resting, Yu Wenlei began to activate the Jingxin Jue.
Time passed little by little, and the previously majestic spiritual power gradually returned to calm. The autumn wind swept outside and the autumn leaves were flying. Yu Wenlei felt the movement of every leaf in the courtyard.
Finally, after brewing for an hour, Yu Wenlei gathered all his mental power into Shisuo.
"Puff, puff..." Sure enough, it was that familiar voice again.
"Puff, puff, puff..." The voice became more and more urgent.
"ah……"
Yu Wenlei had a splitting headache, and his mental strength felt like he had been whipped a thousand times, but he didn't want to give up and kept persisting!
"Puff, puff, puff, puff..."
Another hour passed, and the stone lock was simply a bottomless pit. Yu Wenlei had already felt the limit several times. It seemed that his mental strength was still too far behind.
After holding on for a while longer, Yu Wenlei exhausted his last bit of mental energy and fell asleep.
After an unknown amount of time, someone knocked on the door. It was the voice of Xiaohuan, a girl in the clan. This girl often followed Yuwen Lianxing, and he recognized her. Yuwenlei woke up in a daze.
"Master Lei, the clan leader has summoned you to the meeting hall. You should go quickly."
"I know, I'll be there right away." Yu Wenlei said in surprise.
He has never been to the family meeting hall in so many years. Could it be that something big happened? But it should be fine if he goes a little later. He has more important things to do right now. When he woke up, he found that the bottleneck of the seventh level of body refining was beginning to loosen!
"Sure enough, it is still useful, but I don't know what this stone lock is..."
Yu Wenlei stopped thinking about it and practiced with all his strength. His spiritual power circulated for a week. After two impacts, the bottleneck finally disappeared completely.
"break!"
The seventh spiritual vein was successfully opened, reaching the seventh level of body refining! Yu Wen Lei finally broke through and broke through the third level in half a year. I am afraid no one would believe it. Feeling the power contained in his body, Yu Wen Lei smiled confidently.
After wasting a lot of time, Yu Wenlei walked out of the small courtyard and walked quickly towards the meeting hall.
