His heart suddenly hurt so much!
Every time I see the corpse of a relative, the pain becomes even more painful!
But for some reason, he could only see the bodies of his relatives, but could never see their faces clearly.
It was as if there was an inexplicable force disturbing him.
His heart ached more and more.
His home was like a hell, and it felt like a knife cutting through it.
Because he lost too many important people.
He suddenly heard a voice, a voice with his name in it.
"Grow a mysterious spirit!"
He woke up with a start.
In her ears, Liu Sanniang's familiar and concerned voice came.
"Master Xuanwu, are you okay?"
Xuanwu was stunned for a moment, then turned around and saw Liu Sanniang's slightly eager face.
In front of me is a familiar guest room.
That's right... I was obviously sleeping in the guest room!
Xuanwu thought so. Could it be that everything just now was just a dream.
Liu Sanniang asked with concern: "Master Xuanwu, why don't you speak? Could it be that you dreamed of something bad?"
Xuanwu nodded slightly and waved his hand, "I'm fine, I just had a nightmare."
"Oh." Liu Sanniang nodded obediently.
Xuanwu slowed down, seemed to have remembered something, and asked: "By the way, how is that boy?"
Liu Sanniang sighed helplessly.
"It's still the same as before, refusing to eat anything."
"I know. I want to see him." With that said, Xuanwu walked over, opened the door and walked out.
Zhang Yuelu was standing outside the next room.
"Young Master..." Zhang Yuelu immediately said respectfully when he saw Xuanwu coming out.
Xuanwu nodded slightly, looked at the closed door of the next room, and asked Zhang Yuelu in a low voice, "How is he?"
Zhang Yuelu shook his head, "It's still the same as before."
"I'll go see him." Xuanwu said.
Zhang Yuelu nodded and then unlocked the door.
This is a very ordinary guest room. On the wooden bed facing the door, lies a young man with extremely stubborn eyes.
Xuanwu looked at the table facing the door. The food on it was already cold.
But no one in the room moved a chopstick.
Xuanwu walked slowly to the bed and said slightly: "No matter when, a person should not fight against his stomach."
The young man lying on the bed seemed to have heard nothing and did not react at all.
"I appreciate your stubbornness, but you should also understand that you must use this stubbornness at the right time. And now is obviously not the time to show it."
The boy still didn't move.
Xuanwu looked at the young man's young and stubborn face seriously and sighed slowly.
Not eating or drinking for several consecutive days had made him look extremely ugly, but even so, he still resorted to this almost self-inflicted hunger strike to resist himself.
Xuanwu took a deep breath.
The reason why he came to see the boy was because he had just had a nightmare and needed relief. Secondly, he had already thought of a way to take the young man for his own use.
He looked at the young man and suddenly said: "All the rebellious Fox clan members have been arrested!"
Hearing this, the young man suddenly turned his face and looked at him.
Seeing this, Xuanwu nodded secretly in his heart. Sure enough, this method works.
"It seems you are quite concerned about that place." Xuanwu smiled.
The young man frowned slightly and immediately turned his face away.
Xuanwu said again: "I didn't lie to you. Not only have all of your rebellious Fox clan been arrested, but even your new leader Hu Na will be publicly executed in the near future!"
The boy didn't turn around.
But Xuanwu still noticed a hint of vague surprise and sadness in his eyes.
He smiled and said: "You really still care about those people... So, do you want to save them?"
The young man was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at him again, his eyes full of doubts.
Xuanwu smiled and said: "No doubt, since I can say it, I can definitely do it. It depends on you whether you have that determination."
The young man's eyes flashed slightly.
Xuanwu continued: "I won't help you save them, and no one around me will help you. The only person who can save them is you, and you can only save them if you become stronger."
The young man was silent.
Xuanwu said again: "I know what you are worried about, but you can rest assured. According to the information I got, the entire Fox clan is rebellious. Except for the mastermind and leader Hu Na, Hua Jian and Xie Ying, the rest of the people There is no danger to his life. He will just be locked up in prison until the end of his life."
Two rays of light burst out from the young man's eyes!
Xuanwu smiled and said: "So...as long as you are strong enough, they can escape from prison! And their ability to escape from prison depends on your choice? Tell me, what do you choose?"
The sparkle in the young man's eyes became brighter and brighter. He sat up from the bed firmly and said, "I want to become stronger!"
Xuanwu smiled, very happily!
"Very good! You did not disappoint me, but if you want to become stronger, you must be my subordinate, how about that?"
The young man said word by word: "It doesn't matter. As long as you can make me as strong as you, even if you let me be a cow or a horse, I will not hesitate!"
Xuanwu smiled and said: "Very good!"
The young man looked at Xuanwu and bowed deeply to him, "Slay Wolf, I've seen you, master!"
Xuanwu looked at the young man with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Very good. However, the name Tulang is not very nice. Since you have become my subordinate, you should naturally have a nicer code name. But now I have all seven subordinates, Just take possession of the Big Dipper Star. Since there is a word for wolf in your name, it’s called Greedy Wolf, how about that?”
"Greedy Wolf?"
The young man murmured his new name repeatedly and said happily: "Thank you, Master, for the name! From now on, I will be called Tanlang!"
"Ganlang, I have met the master!"
Xuanwu smiled and said: "Very good! From today on, I will teach you the secrets of Zhongyuan martial arts. But now..."
As he spoke, he looked at the cold food on the table.
"You should go fill your stomach first."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a growling sound from Greedy Wolf's stomach, which made the stubborn boy feel slightly embarrassed.
At this moment, Zhang Yuelu suddenly opened the door and came in.
"Master, the leader and the mother of sword demons are here. They are just outside the inn."
Hearing this, Xuanwu immediately smiled at the young man and said, "You're here just in time. Let's go, Greedy Wolf, come with me to see the leader and the mother of the sword ghost."
Tanlang nodded respectfully and followed him out of the room.
In front of the inn door, two figures were waiting quietly.
The two people, one male and one female, one black and one white, looked distinct.
The man, who looked to be in his thirties, was dressed in black and had a big knife on his back. He looked very powerful.
The woman, wrapped in white clothes, was about twenty-seven or eighty years old. She was holding a silver-white Miao knife more than three feet long in her hand. She looked delicate and dexterous. Endearing.
These two people are exactly what Xuanwu calls the leader of the sword and the mother of the sword ghost.
However, if Chen Yutian were here at this moment, he would definitely recognize that these two people have another level of identity!
Because they were Yuan Wuji and Meng Hongyan who were at Fengxue Villa!
Behind them, there were several figures. These people were generous and extraordinary, and they looked like they were no unknown people.
But at this moment, they all stood respectfully behind the two of them.
Xuanwu, Liu Sanniang, Zhang Yuelu and Tanlang hurriedly welcomed her out of the inn and said with a smile: "Chief, the mother of swords has come a long way. Xuanwu missed the meeting from afar. I hope you can forgive me."
Yuan Wuji looked at a few people indifferently and said: "There is no need to say polite words. Just contact Suzaku Baihu and the others and say that we have something important to discuss."
…
…
The words "Kill relatives and destroy families" spoken by Concubine Ling made everyone present involuntarily shocked!
Lang Yue opened her mouth in surprise, looked at her mother-in-law, and murmured: "Could it be that...grandpa and the others in the Central Plains are already dead?"
She never expected this.
Although he had never heard his mother-in-law mention her relatives on her maternal side, Lang Yue had never thought about it in this way.
She always thought they were still alive, but the relationship between the mother-in-law and them might not be very good, so she never mentioned them.
Now, she realized that the reason why her mother-in-law never mentioned them was because they were no longer alive.
This is really...
Lang Yue didn't know what to say.
She could only ask her mother-in-law, "Mother-in-law, what on earth is going on?"
Others also looked at Concubine Ling curiously.
Concubine Ling's eyes slowly swept over everyone's face, finally stopping on Long Yue's face, and sighed softly.
"That happened a long time ago..." she said.
As she told the story, everyone gradually came to know about the... bad past event that she had buried deep in her memory.
In Lizhou in the Central Plains, there is a family with a surname.
Although the Zhong family is the blood descendant of the Linghu Saint Clan, the eight holy clans of Shengwu, they are not among the martial arts families. Instead, they are passed down from generation to generation as a merchant family.
And in the process of this inheritance, the part of their bloodline that belongs to the Spirit Fox Saint Clan is getting thinner and thinner.
Even many tribesmen are unable to awaken their bloodline and obtain innate magical powers.
This situation did not change until the birth of a pair of brothers and sisters.
They were the biological children of the family head of that generation, and they were born with a strong bloodline power. The strength of that bloodline power even far exceeded that of their ancestors.
Therefore, when they each reached adulthood, they successfully awakened their innate supernatural powers.
Because the elder brother was not satisfied with the comfort of a merchant family, he left home to practice after awakening his natural supernatural powers, and agreed to return to the family when he was eighteen years old.
After awakening her innate magical power, her younger sister also left the family in order to find her brother who had left home.
The two brothers and sister were completely unaware at this time that it was precisely because of their outing that they were kept away from an extremely terrible disaster.
My sister searched for her brother for nearly a year, but found nothing. Later, she remembered the two-year appointment her brother had made when he left home, and speculated that when the two-year appointment was approaching, she returned to the family.
But when she returned to her former home along the original road, what she saw was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
The entire Zhong family was massacred by someone unknown. The whole family of forty-three, along with countless members of the Spirit Fox Saint Clan, were undoubtedly spared.
When I saw this scene, my sister was going crazy.
But she didn't expect that those who slaughtered their entire family did not leave, but were waiting for something inside the family.
So, my sister was discovered.
At that time, my sister's kung fu was already very high. But the other party's skills seemed to be even more impressive. Even with my sister's skills at the time, she couldn't deal with them. Instead, they kept chasing her.
From then on, my sister began an endless escape.
From the Central Plains to the deserts of the Southern Region, from the prosperous Lizhou City to the barren northwest region.
No matter where she escapes, a killer will catch up and hunt her down.
Until she was caught up by a killer in the barbarian region of the Western Regions, and her life was about to hang by a thread, but her life was saved by Wang Khan who happened to be hunting by.
After listening to Concubine Ling's story, everyone nodded.
"It seems... that the sister in the story must be the empress herself?" Chen Yutian looked at Ling Fei and said slowly.
Concubine Ling nodded slightly, "Not bad!"
"So, the person who wiped out the entire Zhong family back then was most likely the Futian Sect! Is that what you think, Madam?" Huo Yuanji asked.
Concubine Ling nodded.
"But mother-in-law, how can you be so sure? You have never used your innate magical power to calculate." Lang Yue said.
Concubine Ling said: "There is no need to calculate at all, because my father died in front of the family ancestral hall back then, and the family treasure that was originally enshrined in the family ancestral hall disappeared without a trace after that killing."
"Maybe the robbers took away the people after killing them?" Xue Tianhan raised a possibility.
Concubine Ling nodded slightly, "Originally I thought so too. But then I remembered that in that ancestral hall, there was another valuable treasure made of pure gold by my father. When it comes to price, something like that is cheaper than that. The clan’s treasure is more valuable. But even after the incident, it was still kept intact in the ancestral hall, so the clan’s treasure was lost.”
Hearing this, Chen Yutian nodded slightly.
"This is indeed strange. If it were a robber, he would definitely not let go of such a valuable treasure."
"Yes, so I suspect that the other party is not a robber at all, but a purposeful massacre. Just now you also mentioned that the Futian Sect specializes in sealing the holy land of various holy clans. Maybe... that way, the clan's most valuable treasure, This is my key to unlocking the seal of Linghu Holy Land." Concubine Ling nodded.
Everyone nodded.
It is indeed possible.
And if such a possibility exists, the person most likely to do such a thing is... the Futian Sect!
"So, this Futian Sect is indeed a bit suspicious." Jieli touched the white beard on his chin slightly and frowned, "But from what you just said, this organization seems to be extremely mysterious, and even you don't know about them. Where exactly is their headquarters, and how do we find them to get the antidote?"
Hearing this, everyone present was stunned.
Only Chen Yutian smiled slightly.
"Your Majesty, there is no need to worry about this matter. We are fully confident that we will find them. Because they are in the barbarian country now. And..."
He paused and continued.
"The purpose of our visit to the Barbarian Kingdom this time is actually the same as theirs! So, no matter what, they will show up in front of us."
"I am absolutely sure of this!"
