Chapter 215 - : You Kill One of My People, I Destroy Your Whole Family! (1/2)
Chapter 215: You Kill One of My People, I Destroy Your Whole Family!
Thousands of miles up, a dozen warriors stood in the air, looking down silently.
They were divided into two groups. The three men at the front were Zhu Jin, Xin Pi, and Ao Dijia while the rest behind them were the experts sent by the various aristocratic families of Firecrow Empire. Their cultivation base was much weaker than the three men in front, so they dared not to come forward.
They had been following behind Xingyang Huo, wanting to see the ending. Even when the Supreme Palace was wiped out, they watched from afar without doing anything. Xingyang Huo knew he had been followed by this group of people, and although he was angry, there was nothing he could do.
Zhu Jin crossed his arms over his chest as he stroked his chin and frowned while saying, “There’s indeed something strange about this city of Yanwu. What do you think is the array inside that little pagoda? I can’t believe it can resist Xingyang Huo’s Bluelotus Earth Fire and block our divine senses. It’s extraordinary!”
Xin Pi was suspicious too. He squinted at the pagoda, but he could not see through it. “Did the City Lord of Yanwu really wipe out the Xingyang family?” he said doubtfully. “This is absurd! Even the imperial family of Tianshui doesn’t have this kind of strength. But the pagoda…”
The pill pagoda was only four to five meters tall and about a dozen meters in circumference. It was built to hide the Divine Realm Tablet, so its appearance was ugly and had no sense of aesthetics.
No one would have expected that there was a space mystic artifact inside. After all, this kind of thing was so rare that even the imperial family of the Firecrow Empire had never seen one before. Therefore, everyone thought the pagoda was supported by an array.
With an uncertain look on his face, Ao Dijia said softly, “I wonder what is the maximum range this array can defend. The pagoda is really ugly, but there must be something very important inside. Otherwise, it would not be protected by an array like this. From what I can tell, this array is comparable to those small mountain protection arrays.”
His words immediately set the others thinking. If this array could be enlarged, its value was immeasurable. Xingyang Huo’s Bluelotus Earth Fire was almost as strong as an attack of a genuine Martial Emperor, and yet it could not destroy the pagoda’s array.
If they could have the array as their courtyard protection array, then the defense of their whole families would be strengthened. And when they were struck by calamities similar to that of the Xingyang family, they would not be wiped out in an instant.
At the thought of that, the eyes of those experts from various aristocratic families lit up, and they stared unblinkingly down below, waiting for the result.
Although Xingyang Huo’s eyes were closed, he was extremely shocked inside. The Bluelotus Earth Fire had been refined by him, and like a warrior’s mystic weapon, they were already spiritually connected. At that moment, he clearly sensed that under the burning of his Earth Fire, the pagoda was not damaged at all.
“If I had this array, my family would not have been wiped out!” Xingyang Huo ground his teeth in hatred. “I must get my hands on this array!” He looked up and glanced at the sky, his face gloomy. “Sooner or later, I’ll play each of these bast*rds to death!”
He produced an incantation seal and threw it into the blazing Earth Fire. The flames soared, and their color grew brighter.
Suddenly, a dark cloud swept over the sky, blocking the sunlight a little.
“Who goes there?”
Startled, Xingyang Huo looked up, and his divine sense exploded out. He saw a little Bluewolf chariot, and then a beam of light fell out of it.
A strange young face appeared in front of him. The young man’s eyes gleamed like stars, and his body exuded a fierce killing intent that made even Xingyang Huo, a peak nine-stars Martial Grandmaster, shiver!
Thousands of miles up, Zhu Jin’s pupils constricted abruptly as he cried out, “It’s him!”
Ao Dijia and Xin Pi were startled while Zhu Jin said incredulously, “It’s this young man! Is he really from Yanwu?” After that, he murmured to himself, “What a cunning young man. He brought all our eyes to the Supreme Palace, who was unlucky enough to be inexplicably wiped out!”
Ao Dijia flexed his neck, his eyes flickering as he said, “I wonder if this Supreme Palace has anything to do with those major sects in the North. I’m worried that this is going to have a huge impact and give northerners an excuse to cross the region, and then we will be in great trouble!”
Xin Pi wore an indifferent face, and no one could tell his current mood. He just said coldly, “The source of this incident is this young man, and it is Xingyang Huo who destroyed the Supreme Palace. What does it have anything to do with Firecrow Empire?”
His attitude was clear. If something serious really happened, they would just push the responsibility onto these two people.
The Martial Grandmasters of the various aristocratic families were looking down in surprise as well. Among them were two elders of the Zhou family—Zhou Chu and Zhou Xing—and they were shocked and suspicious.
Yanwu had been under the watch of the Zhou family, and according to the recent investigation, the Cauldron of Five Elements auctioned by the Myriad Treasures Store was most lightly robbed by Yanwu. But, they found it hard to believe the finding. Even though the Myriad Treasures Store was rumored to be behind Yanwu, it was impossible for them to offend the Zhou family for a mere Cauldron of Five Elements.
The elder of the Cheng family, Cheng He, was astonished as well. With a strange look in his eyes, he glanced at Zhou Chu and Zhou Xing. The three of them exchanged a look, and they were all astonished and felt it hard to believe. How could a mere Yanwu offend two major aristocratic families at the same time? Had it not been for what happened to the Xingyang family being too strange, which struck fear into all aristocratic families and prevented them from doing anything rashly, the Cheng family would have sent someone to destroy Yanwu. Now, it seemed that things were indeed not as simple as they imagined.
