Chapter 625: Stay Out of It

After more than a month of calm, the city of Xianyang became turbulent again.

Xianyang City has never lacked rumor makers and rumors.

Almost at the beginning of the new year, a rumor spread throughout Xianyang City - Ji Wuchang, an elite monk of the Ji family who died unexpectedly years ago, actually died at the hands of a monk named Xiao!

Rumors spread, and Xiao became Xiao...

The monk surnamed Xiao has both the strength and the courage to kill the high-level Jin Dan Ji Wuchang. There are only a few people in the entire Xianyang City who can kill him!

So soon, many well-informed people in Xianyang City identified the Tiandu City monk who had once defeated the Third Realm monk Zhong Liyin.

It is said that although Xiao Wuming is only at the middle level of Jin Dan, he can fight against Zhong Liyin, who is at the top level of Jin Dan. Based on this, it is not difficult to kill Ji Wuchang, who is at the high level of Jin Dan.

It is said that Xiao Wuming was born in one of the nine holy places in Tiandu City, and is a descendant of the holy place. With such a background, he will naturally not be afraid of the Ji family, one of the four major aristocratic families in Qin County.

It is said that Xiao Wuming entered Xianyang City years ago, and the news of Ji Wuchang's death was just the back and forth, but there was no time to murder Ji Wuchang.

It is said that Xiao is nameless and his surname is Xiao...

God knows - is this Xiao the other Xiao?

Suddenly, news about Xiao Mian was flying all over the sky, including not only the battle with Zhong Liyin that day, but also the battle with Ji Wuxie, and even news about Xiao Mian fighting Qi Jingyuan and Zhong Liyin alone at the entrance of Old Tan's courtyard. It’s not spreading like wildfire either…

As a result, Xiao Mian's suspicion is naturally even greater.

Dare to fight two top-level Jindan mid-level monks at the same time without dying. Killing a high-level Jindan Ji Wuchang is not like chopping melons and vegetables?

While the ordinary monks were talking about it, the Ji family had already issued a formal notice to the Wang family, hoping that the Wang family would expel Xiao Mian from the recruitment hall and hand it over to the Ji family for interrogation and verification.

Surprisingly, the Wang family's attitude was surprisingly tough.

One word - no way!

For a time, the smoke between the Ji Wang family started again because of Xiao Wuming...

Ji Family Lobby, Zhizi Hall.

"Isn't that old man Wang Bo crazy?" He said this fiercely. Seeing Ji Beihai sitting in the hall calmly, Ji Wuxie continued: "Just for Xiao Wuming, the Wang family will marry me, Ji Beihai." What are you trying to do? Is it because that guy is a cultivator from Tianducheng? Even if that guy is really a descendant of the Holy Land, he must pay the price!"

"The problem is: even we are not sure whether the death of Impermanence was caused by him!"

"Grandpa didn't mean..."

"The monk surnamed Xiao that your grandfather mentioned is said to be from Nanyue Prefecture; but this Xiao Wuming does not look like a Nanyue Prefecture monk at all - not to mention that the Wang family relies on him so much and protects him, I am afraid that boy's identity There is a trump card that the Wang family doesn’t dare to act rashly. Do you think Wang Bo is so easy to fool? Besides! According to the information your grandfather received, the Nanyue monk named Xiao is just suspected of killing Wu Chang! But it doesn’t necessarily mean he did it…”

"This..., is it possible that we are just going to end up like this?"

"No! Of course not! Even if we know that the Wang family will not be able to hand over Xiao Wuming in the end, we still have to see where the Wang family's bottom line is, and use this to explore Xiao Wuming's bottom line - the greater the price the Wang family is willing to pay, the higher the price. It means that Xiao Wuming is more important!"

"Is it necessary to go to such great lengths of war for Xiao Wuming?"

"Wuxie! You also fought against Xiao Wuming that day. What do you think would be your victory or defeat if that day's battle continued?"

"..."

"What do you think: How will you win or lose against Zhong Liyin?"

"..."

"Do you think you can escape with the cooperation of Qi Jingyuan and Zhong Liyin?"

"……,cannot!"

"Don't underestimate that Xiao Wuming! Maybe he is really a descendant of the Holy Land!"

"Hmph! So what if he is a descendant of the Holy Land?"

"Wu Xie! It seems that you should go out for a walk and see more!" Ji Beihai looked at his beloved son with some affection, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Zhongzhou, one capital, three realms, seven counties and eighty-one cities , do you think that Qin County, as one of the seven counties, is really Zhongzhou? You are wrong! Qin County and even the other six counties are just the front line for Zhongzhou to resist the erosion of the surrounding areas and the invasion of the spirit world. ! Even the Three Realms are nothing but the defense line! The only place in Zhongzhou that is in the true sense is Tiandu City!”

"..., Tiandu City!"

"That's right! Only Tiandu City is the true world of cultivation!"

"Respect father's order! Wuxie plans to travel to Tiandu City after his trip to Zulongju!"

"Okay!" Ji Beihai nodded happily and exhorted: "I heard that there will be a golden elixir competition in Tiandu City in ten years. As a father, I look forward to your performance!"

"I will live up to my father's expectations! I will not lose the prestige of the Ji family!"

"Well! It's too early to talk about Tiandu City's Golden Pill Competition, let's think about Zulongju!"

"It's strange! Logically speaking, wouldn't the core disciples of the four major families not participate in the Zulong Residence in the past years? I even specially begged my father about this matter years ago, but you still refused to agree. Why do you do this? Did Fan suddenly allow it?"

"If we don't use our full strength this time, I'm afraid that none of the monks from the Ji family who entered Zulong Residence will survive! Since the other families have decided to send out their strongest lineups, our Ji family can only accompany us to the end. Only in this way can we earn A glimmer of hope - but don't worry: our four great families have made a secret agreement: the sixteen of you are not allowed to attack each other!"

The sixteen people Ji Beihai calls are the sixteen most elite people from the four major families!

The four heroes of the Qin family - Uncle Ji, brother and uncle, the four heroes of the Lu family - Gu Yanchenfeng, the four princes of the Ji family - Xie Charming Xin and the four heroes of the Wang family - brave and brave!

Obviously, this is another compromise between the four major families...

"This time Ancestral Dragon Residence, if nothing unexpected happens, the three monks from Western Shu Prefecture and the one demon from Northern Wei Prefecture will definitely participate, otherwise I would be sorry for their dormancy for such a long time. It is expected that the son of the Sword Master from Eastern Wu Prefecture will also join in. It’s so exciting, and as for the Third Realm monks, it’s clear that they are coming to Ancestral Dragon Residence, and now I don’t know where Xiao Wuming will go.”

"Hmph! If you're not afraid of him going, I'm just afraid that he won't go!"

"If he really enters Zulong Residence, be careful of this person!"

"Yes! Wuxie will definitely make him pay the price for offending our Ji family!"

"Do your best..., the most important thing is to protect yourself!"

"yes!"

At the same time, Wang Family, Sanhuai Hall.

"Father! Why do we have to fight with the Ji family for Xiao Wuming?" The person who said this was not Wang Yong or anyone else, but Wang Li. As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, Wang Yong interrupted: "What Li said... tsk tsk... If fellow Taoist Xiao heard what Li said, would it hurt Chun Beiqiu?"

"Brother! Li is not doing it for himself, but for the Wang family!"

"Hmph! Then we shouldn't have brought in such an unknown wild cultivator in the first place!"

"you……"

"That's enough!" After ending the dispute between the two brothers, Wang Bo's cold eyes swept between Wang Yong and Wang Li, and then he said calmly: "The Ji family suddenly launched an attack that day, if it wasn't for Xiao Wuming's mediation. , I’m afraid the loss to the Wang family will be more than ten times or a hundred times! Although this Xiao Wuming has taken advantage of me, the Wang family, after all, we are asking for help. Now we protect him, even if we are paying him a favor..."

"Father! This matter can be big or small! Morally speaking, our Wang family is at a disadvantage after all. If the Ji family persists, we..."

"Needless to say! It has been less than two months since the opening of Zulong Residence. You should think more about how to safely turn around from Ancestral Dragon Residence! Although the four major families have formed an offensive and defensive alliance, this alliance is in name only. In addition, Fanzu Longju is a mixed bag, so you must not be careless, but you must turn around safely!"

"yes!"

"I will obey my father's orders!"

After waving his hand and dismissing everyone, Wang Bo frowned.

Regarding the matter of Xiao Wuming, it was not that Wang Bo never thought of letting go.

But at that moment, Wang Jian, who had never been involved in the affairs of the Wang family, suddenly summoned Wang Bo and made it clear: Protect Xiao Wuming at all costs!

Wang Bo was puzzled, thinking that Xiao Wuming and Wang Jian were just acquaintances. How could his father issue such a strict order for an unknown boy?

Is it possible that his father knows the origin of Xiao Wuming?

In other words, Xiao Wuming’s background is enough for the Wang family to fight for him!

However, given his father's identity and status as a high-level monk of Nascent Soul, even if Xiao Wuming was really a monk from Tiandu City and a descendant of the Holy Land, he would not be so flattering!

Full of suspicion, Wang Bo did not dare to disobey Wang Jian's decision.

It is precisely because of this that the Wang family strongly supported Xiao Mian.

After that, for more than a month, rumors about Xiao Mian spread, but the person involved stayed out of the matter, leaving only the Ji family and the Wang family arguing with each other...

As time went by, the Perfect Sect and the Seven Emotions Demon Palace were also involved in this matter.

At this time, Xiao Mian was focused on practicing.

During this period, Wang Li also came several times, just to trick Xiao Mian into telling him the good things about the Wang family and the bad things about the Ji family. Xiao Mian took the trouble and finally sent him away in seclusion.

Xiao Mian was noncommittal or even disapproving of the Wang family's protection.

The Wang family is by no means a righteous family that would stand up for an outsider. Otherwise, it would not be possible to gain a firm foothold in the turbulent Xianyang City and stand firm for thousands of years.

The reason why the Wang family protects themselves so vigorously now is for one reason - the Wang family has an agenda for Xiao Mian! And this plot is probably quite big!

At least, it won't be any smaller than a head-on confrontation with the Ji family!

Otherwise, wouldn’t the Wang family suffer?

But Xiao Mian counted his own value, and he was a bit ostentatious about the unfounded successor to the Holy Land. He didn't know if the Wang family had taken a fancy to this golden sign.

If that were the case, it would be fine. After the trip to Zulongju, Xiao Mian patted his ass and left. The Wang family would not care about Xiao Mian's affairs, whichever holy place they wanted to find for verification!

Just be afraid, the Wang family has ulterior motives!

What could it be?

After thinking about it, Xiao Mian couldn't think of a reason.

Seeing that the second day of February was approaching, Xiao Mian had to turn his attention to another matter - Ding Wenquan was still waiting for his rescue at Tianyu Peak!
