Chapter 411 The Broken Arrow
Chapter 411 The Broken Arrow
The Yin family.
Seven or eight elderly men were gathered together, including Ruan Zhen and several senior officials.
"Wenzheng, has Xiao Weiqing agreed?"
"Second Uncle, no."
Yin Zong nodded. "As expected, Xiao Weiqing is not the type of person who wants to cause trouble."
"Let's proceed according to plan."
"Second Uncle, shouldn't we discuss this with the Palace Master?" Yin Wenzheng asked tentatively.
"We can't say. The Palace Master might not approve of our approach. That would only alert the enemy. Now that Xiao Weiqing has broken through to the eighth realm, his strength is unfathomable. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
One of the elders said, "The Great Xia is truly a land of outstanding people and abundant resources. The Dongfang Hao of yesteryear, and the Xiao Weiqing of today... they are simply terrifying."
Yin Zongdao said, "If Xiao Weiqing hadn't been so powerful, I wouldn't have bothered to bring him to the Vermilion Bird Empire."
"Old Ghost Ruan, we're counting on you for the Vermilion Bird Temple."
Upon hearing this, Ruan Zhen's eyes flashed with murderous intent. "Don't worry, if the temple doesn't interfere, fine. But if they do, I will definitely make them suffer."
Yin Wenzheng sensed Ruan Zhen's murderous aura and was horrified. Suddenly, he remembered a little-known rumor.
"Marshal, I've heard that the deaths of the three empresses are related to the temple. I wonder if that's true..."
"snort!"
Ruan Zhen snorted coldly and did not reply.
Yin Zongdao said, "Wenzheng, now that you've entered the Eighth Realm, it's time to tell you. The deaths of the three empresses have always been a mystery, but we can be certain that they are inextricably linked to the Temple."
"Just remember this."
Seeing Yin Zong's serious expression, Yin Wenzheng nodded vigorously, "Nephew understands."
"Give this to Xiao Weiqing. It might backfire if we wait too long." Yin Zong took out an arrow and handed it to Yin Wenzheng.
Then Yin Zong continued:
"Xiao Weiqing isn't stupid; he'll definitely figure it out later. Just have him come to me then."
"it is good."
Yin Wenzheng walked out of the Yin family home with the arrow in his hand.
......
......
evening.
As the sunset cast its glow, it draped Zhuque City in a golden robe.
Xiao Weiqing strolled leisurely down the street, enjoying the rare tranquility, while smiles graced the faces of passersby.
"Xiao Weiqing, Xiao Weiqing..."
Sudden.
Urgent shouts came from behind.
Xiao Weiqing turned around and saw Yin Wenzheng catching up, holding a broken arrow in his hand, which looked somewhat familiar.
"Brother Yin, what's wrong?"
"It's Lou Xiaoxing, something happened to him." Yin Wenzheng handed the broken arrow to Xiao Weiqing.
Xiao Weiqing took it and examined it closely; it really was Lou Xiaoxing's arrow.
"Lou Xiaoxing, what's wrong with him?"
Xiao Weiqing questioned in an icy tone, "Lou Xiaoxing's bow and arrow are a pair, both being companion weapons. Now that the arrow is broken, he is likely in grave danger."
"Don't worry, Lou Xiaoxing should be fine, but things might not be going well for her."
"explain!"
Xiao Weiqing shouted.
Yin Wenzheng was startled, swallowed hard, and, remembering what Yin Zong had instructed him to do, silently encouraged himself and explained:
"Do you remember me saying that Tian Zhenzhen has a child?"
"Is this related to Tian Zhenzhen?"
"Well, it's a long story. Let's talk as we walk."
The two took off and boarded the aircraft that had been prepared in advance.
"Isn't it said that flying vehicles are not allowed inside Vermilion Bird City?"
Yin Wenzheng was slightly taken aback and said, "The situation is urgent. At worst, I'll get scolded later. But I know Lou Xiaoxing. If I'm late, I'm afraid he'll suffer."
"What's wrong with him?"
"It's a long story, it goes back more than ten years."
"Then let's get to the point."
Xiao Weiqing had no patience.
"When Tian Zhenzhen awakened her level 5 talent, she met and fell in love with a member of the Fei family in Anliang Prefecture, and they had a daughter."
"Having a baby at 18?"
Xiao Weiqing was surprised. Having just awakened her level 5 talent, she should have been seizing every opportunity to cultivate, so why was she having a child?
"No, to be precise, she was born at the age of 20."
"and then?"
"The Fei family hopes that Tian Zhenzhen will give up cultivation and continue to have children."
"What?" Xiao Weiqing wondered if he had misheard. "Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Yin Wenzheng knew it was absurd, but that was the truth.
"The Fei family hopes that Tian Zhenzhen will give up cultivation and continue to have children. In fact, this is not the first time the Fei family has done this; they can even be said to be habitual offenders."
"In recent years, they have become even more unscrupulous, using all sorts of coercion and enticement to coerce newly awakened geniuses into becoming breeding machines."
Xiao Weiqing snorted coldly, "The Fei family also believes in so-called bloodlines?"
"Pretty much. They believe that talent is engraved in genes from birth and can be inherited. Doing so can increase the chances of offspring awakening advanced talents."
"Go on."
Yin Wenzheng said, "Tian Zhenzhen is naturally unwilling to break with the Fei family, but she can't take her daughter with her."
"Over the years, Tian Zhenzhen has cultivated relentlessly, even risking her life, all in order to break through to the eighth realm and one day take her daughter away from the Fei family."
"Did Lou Xiaoxing and Tian Zhenzhen go to the Fei family to ask for their daughter back?"
"It should be."
Xiao Weiqing sighed, then realized something was amiss and asked:
How do you know so much?
Yin Wenzheng explained, "Lou Xiaoxing and you are both honored guests of the Vermilion Bird Empire, and we have always had people following us."
"Then why didn't you step in and stop it?"
"Sigh, I told you before, many prefectures are ruled by their own people, and the Kang family of Anliang Prefecture is one of them. In fact, the Kang family's strength ranks among the top in the entire empire, second only to the Yin family and the Ruan family."
"There are more than ten people in the eighth realm in the clan, and more than one of them is at the peak of the eighth realm. Otherwise, it would have been impossible to take down Lou Xiaoxing."
Xiao Weiqing nodded slightly. With Lou Xiaoxing's current strength, even if he wasn't at the peak of the eighth realm, he was definitely not someone that one or two people at the eighth realm could defeat.
"We're almost there."
The aircraft weaved through the air, speeding towards a grand city.
Xiao Weiqing looked at the broken arrow in his hand and cursed Lou Xiaoxing in his heart for being such an idiot. He had just broken through to the eighth realm and already didn't know his own limitations.
at this time.
Anliang Prefecture.
Kang family.
The owner of the broken arrow lay in the dark room like a dead dog.
There are more than a dozen such rooms in the entire basement.
"Damn it, when I get out of here, I'm going to slaughter them all."
Lou Xiaoxing spat out the broken teeth and blood from his mouth. He didn't know how many bones in his body were broken, and he couldn't even sit up.
"Dude, take a break. Once you're in here, you think you can get out?"
A pale-faced man, clearly someone who had indulged in excessive sexual activity, spoke. The man was not very old, only about twenty years old.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Ma Chi, and I arrived a year earlier than you."
"Coming a year earlier?"
"Hey buddy, what's your talent level? What's it?"
Why are you asking this?
Ma Chi said, "Just curious. Aren't all the people who came in here people who awakened some pretty good talent and were captured?"
"Huh? The Kang family is a cult?"
"Not quite a cult, but close. Sigh, the Kang family is all-powerful in Anliang Prefecture, and even the empire can't do anything about it. My ancestors were incredibly lucky, and I awakened a level 5 talent, but it was ruined by these bastards."
"These bastards deserve to die a horrible death!" Ma Chi cursed.
Lou Xiaoxing silently recovered and reflected on her life. She realized that everything had gone too smoothly for her, and she had forgotten that this was not the Great Xia Dynasty.
He sighed deeply; now he could only wait for Xiao Weiqing to come and save him.
