Chapter 1112  A Dark and Windy Night

Back in the quiet room where he stayed, Xiao Mian looked at Xiao Bailu carefully.

Their appearance and expressions were exactly the same!

The Xiao Bailu in front of him looked just like Xiao Chuqing that day!

While Xiao Mian was lost in thought, Xiao Bailu was paying close attention to his reaction. Seeing that Xiao Mian had been silent for a long time, she suddenly spoke.

"Big brother! Don't forget what my second brother said! He is upset..."

"Annoyed? What? Is he upset that the ancestor died and lost the protection of the elders? Or is he upset that the Xiao family declined and lost the support of the family? Or is he upset that I came back and took away the position of the head of the family that should have belonged to him? The love between men and women is bound to make heroes short-tempered!"

"It's no wonder that my second brother misses Sister Yuling so much, it's really..."

"If Chen Yuling really has feelings for Nanming, even if my Xiao family declined, she should have married into the Xiao family alone. But what about now? Humph!"

With a cold snort, Xiao Mian didn't want to dwell on the matter of Xiao Nanming and Chen Yuling, but asked about Xiao Bailu's practice.

Xiao Mian found out a lot of information about Xiao Bailu by asking indirectly, and finally gave some magic weapons and elixirs, and told Xiao Bailu to go back and practice well.

Before leaving, Xiao Mian even ordered Xiao Bailu to protect Xiao Nanming with Xiao Qingxia, under the pretext that he was afraid that Xiao Nanming would do something stupid.

Watching Xiao Bailu walk out of the quiet room, a trace of thought crept onto Xiao Mian's cheek.

Xiao Bailu's birthday was the same month and day as Xiao Chuqing's, but the year was one year later than Xiao Chuqing's. In other words, Xiao Bailu was one year younger than Xiao Chuqing!

This matter was even more coincidental...

Besides, Xiao Bailu was also very talented.

If you can successfully form a pill before the age of 30, you will have the hope of achieving a Nascent Soul in the future.

Even for Xiao Bailu, who looked like Xiao Chuqing, Xiao Mian decided to help the Xiao family, at least to pass on the incense of the Xiao family.

That night, the moon was dark and the wind was high.

Xiao Mian, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes.

With a curl of his lips, Xiao Mian disappeared...

Three cultivators sneaked into the Xiao family compound - three quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators!

Just as these three quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators were searching the entire Xiao family compound, Xiao Mian appeared outside Xiao Nanming's residence, waiting for the opportunity.

In just a quarter of an hour, three waves of spiritual consciousness divided into three directions and pressed towards Xiao Nanming's residence.

The three spiritual consciousnesses faintly showed the tendency of encirclement.

Just when the outer circle of the spiritual consciousness was about to be formed, Xiao Mian moved.

The body did not move, but the spirit was far away.

Countless Seven Emotions Heart Demon Swords, like spiritual rain of spiritual consciousness that could not be detected by the naked eye, attacked the spiritual consciousness that was pressing from the north.

The spiritual consciousness in the north suddenly stopped moving, but it underestimated Xiao Mian.

Thousands of Seven Emotions Heart Demon Swords formed the Seven Emotions Sorrowful Sky Sword Formation, and in one encounter, the attack on the spiritual consciousness in the north was riddled with holes.

A shrill scream spread from the northern night sky...

At the same time, Xiao Mian himself had turned into a stream of red and blue light, rushing towards the south.

The quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator from the south had naturally seen through the miserable state of his companions in the north. At that moment, he was shocked and felt a little relieved.

Fortunately - he was not from the north!

But his relief was too early...

The stream of light condensed, and the golden light exploded.

Through the extraordinary mobility of the universal flywheel, Xiao Mian circled behind the man in the south, raised his fist, and beat him up.

This time, the screams of the man in the south were no less than those of the man in the north.

This time, Zhai Chong, who rushed in from the middle, was dumbfounded.

The three quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators who rushed into the Xiao family compound with ill intentions were all from the casual cultivators bribed by the Cai family.

Although the Cai and Xiao families set the so-called family challenge, although the Cai family had 100% confidence that they could defeat the Xiao family.

But out of prudence, the Cai family decided to kill the Xiao family!

If the Xiao family only had one Jindan cultivator who could fight, or even none at all, then even if they didn't challenge the family, the Xiao family would be finished!

The purpose of Zhai Chong and the other two was to severely injure the Xiao family cultivators!

Unexpectedly, after just one encounter, two of them were severely injured by Xiao Mian.

Besides, Zhai Chong had fought with Xiao Mian before. At that time, Zhai Chong wanted to catch Cai Luojing, but was trapped by Xiao Mian's consciousness. He watched Cai Luojing fall in front of him. Not only Cai Luojing, but also Zhai Chong, made a fool of himself.

It was the fear when his consciousness was trapped that day that made Zhai Chong feel uneasy. Unconsciously, his consciousness was slightly delayed...

It was this slight delay that gave Zhai Chong a glimmer of hope.

When the screams of companions came from the north and the south at the same time, a chaotic sword light broke through the night and attacked Zhai Chong.

Zhai Chong did not dare to be careless at all. He raised his hand and raised the shield that had been in the activated state for a long time. At the same time, he used his spiritual consciousness to withdraw and fly away.

Zhai Chong's shield was a mid-level magic shield called Yunlong!

After Zhai Chong flew out, Yunlong Shield turned into a cloud dragon, entangled with the chaotic sword light that attacked Zhai Chong.

As long as it was entangled by the cloud dragon, Yunlong Shield would change its form and encircle the chaotic sword light in the most advantageous way.

By then, the companions of the north and south sides must have recovered from the attack of the other side. The three parties worked together and there was a chance to turn defeat into victory!

Unfortunately, what Zhai Chong waited for was not an opportunity, but bad news!

Although the Chaos Sword Light failed to penetrate the Yunlong Shield's defense, almost invariably, a scream came from both the north and the south at the same time.

It seemed to be the same as the previous screams, but when Zhai Chong heard it, he was shocked - just because after the screams, he lost all consciousness!

The two quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators from the north and the south suddenly became silent!

It seems that the only person participating in the task of wiping out the Xiao family's golden elixir tonight is Zhai Chong!

Zhai Chong couldn't help but shiver, and he wanted to pull away and fly back.

"Brother Zhai! Stay away!" Xiao Mian shouted, and Zhai Chong froze and couldn't help himself - just like in front of the Xiao Mansion that day! At this point, how could Zhai Chong still have any luck? Seeing Xiao Mian coming through the night, Zhai Chong's face turned pale, but he still gritted his teeth and had to speak: "He...them...where are those two people?"

"I thought: Brother Zhai should be more concerned about his own situation instead of two dead people!"

"Death...you killed them!? You actually..."

"Brother Zhai! I am also the head of the Xiao family after all! On this dark and windy night, I killed two monks who did not belong to the Xiao family in the Xiao family's inner palace. I sued him to the arbitration tribunal. This account , it can’t be counted on Xiao and the Xiao family!” After saying this, Zhai Chong was speechless, and Xiao Mian said, “If it comes to that, my Xiao family is the victim!” The public security is a bit uneven!”

"..."

"By the way! Brother Zhai came to visit in the middle of the night. What do you have to say?"

"Me? I...what do you mean?"

"If nothing happens! Brother Zhai, please come back, but Xiao will not send it off! Xiao still has to prepare for the family challenge in three days, there is no room for failure!"

After waving his hand, Xiao Mian stopped caring about Zhai Chong and disappeared.

Zhai Chong was left alone, standing in the cold night wind, shivering...

The next day, everything that happened to the Xiao family was revealed in Tiandu City.

Suddenly, the Xiao family became famous, and Xiao Nantian became a blockbuster!

In one night, two monks of the same level were killed in a row, and they were quasi-Nascent Soul monks who had already condensed their spiritual consciousness. This combat power was enough to be called invincible at the same level!

A quasi-Nascent Soul cultivator who is invincible at the same level, given time, will definitely be able to condense the Soul!

In other words, as long as Xiao Nantian is given enough time, he will be the new ancestor of the Xiao family!

By then, who would dare to underestimate the Xiao family again?

By then, I'm afraid it will be the time for the Xiao family to regain its lintel!

No matter how turbulent the outside world was, Xiao Mian hid in the Xiao Mansion, drinking spiritual tea comfortably, until Xiao Bailu came to report that the head of the Chen family came to visit!

Old fox!

Finally here!

In Lanling Hall, Xiao Mian met the head of the Chen family - Chen Shide!

"Nephew Nan Tian is indeed a great person among men, a very talented person!" As soon as he opened his mouth, Chen Shide couldn't help but praise Xiao Mian, and then found an excuse for himself: "A few days ago, I heard that nephew Nan Tian returned to Tiandu. I have long wanted to come and visit you, but I have never been able to get free time. No, now that I have free time, I heard about the name of Nantian’s nephew!”

"Uncle Chen Shi is so polite! I don't know why I came here today?"

"This... you must already know about Yu Ling and Nan Ming, right? Alas! They were originally in love, and you and I, the Xiao and Chen families, have been friends for generations. If we can get married, we will naturally be even happier. Who knows: things are going to be tough! The Cai family is so ambitious that they want to annex the Xiao family and strengthen themselves, so the nephew must be careful!"

"A wolf's ambition must also have the strength of a wolf's ambition, otherwise, he will only die!"

"That's it! That's it! Who in today's capital city doesn't know that you, my nephew, are invincible at the same level and the first person under the Nascent Soul?"

"Uncle Shi, thank you! No matter how tyrannical Nan Tian is, if he can protect himself against three monks of the same level, it is good. How can he still have the power to kill the enemy?"

"This..., could it be that the two quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators last night were..."

"Uncle Shi! There are some things you just need to know, no need to say them out loud!"

"That's it! That's it! I know it! I know it! There was news about the death of my ancestor a while ago, and I didn't believe it at all!"

"Uncle Shi, is there anything else?"

"No more! No more! As for the matter of Nan Ming and Yu Ling, let's wait until the family challenge, right? If you are free, my nephew might as well come to my Chen family to sit down!"

"There will definitely be time! By then, my nephew will ask Uncle Shi for a cup of tea!"

"Definitely! Definitely! Farewell! Farewell! I won't send it! I won't send it!"

In a hurry, Chen Shide walked out of Xiao's house.

Ever since, another news started to spread like wildfire again.

According to rumors, the fallen ancestor of the Xiao family is not dead!

The quasi-Nascent Soul cultivators who broke into the Xiao Mansion the night before were easily wiped out by the ancestors of the Xiao family. Although it was suspected of bullying the small, there is nothing wrong with it...

Who told them to hit the muzzle of the gun themselves! ?

At this moment, news about the Cai family came one after another:

Zhai Chong, who was once a guest of the Cai family, took the initiative to leave the Cai family and even left Tiandu City.

Hua Mancheng, the passionate son of the Seven Emotions Demon Palace, who was once regarded as a guest of the Cai family, left the Cai family.

As for the other guests and ministers, there were occasionally those with low cultivation levels who still stayed in the Cai family and refused to leave. All those monks with high-level Jindan and above had left completely.

As a result, the Xiao family's reputation has increased, while the Cai family's reputation has plummeted.

One after another, it seemed that the Cai family had completely defeated the Xiao family's family challenge, but it turned out to be complicated and confusing...

The more confusing it is, the more interesting it will be.

When Tongbao Pavilion spread the word that it was ready to open the odds and set up the gambling game, cultivators from Yinhu City and even other places in Tiandu City flocked to it.

When everyone arrived at Tongbao Pavilion and saw the odds of the two families released by Tongbao Pavilion, they were all a little hesitant and didn't know who to bet on to win.

Just because the odds of betting on the Xiao family to win are 1:2, and the odds of betting on the Cai family to win are also 1:2!

In other words, Tongbao Pavilion treats the Xiao family and the Cai family equally!

The seemingly fair odds made those gamblers who hoped to win a lot of money somewhat dissatisfied, until the shopkeeper of Tongbao Pavilion came out to explain.

The explanation of Tongbao Pavilion is as follows: This time, the opening of the odds and the challenge of the Xiao and Cai families is purely for entertainment, and Tongbao Pavilion does not make a profit.

In other words, if the Xiao family wins, the cultivators who bet on the Xiao family to win will divide the spiritual stones or immortal crystals pledged by those who bet on the Cai family to win with their respective shares.

The opposite is also true.

If the two families cannot decide who wins, the monks who participate in the bet will neither lose nor gain.

Of course, this possibility is very small. The fight between the Cai family and the Xiao family has caused a lot of trouble in the city and has reached the point of life and death.

If there is no life or death, then they will perish together!
