Chapter 649: Harbouring Evil Intentions
After respectfully bowing to the huge tomb, Xiao Mian took down the overly large Phantom Spirit Pearl.
When the Phantom Spirit Pearl was in his hand, Xiao Mian felt a warm current flowing into his body.
But at this moment, the immortal stone hidden in Xiao Mian's body for a long time turned around, and a coolness filled Xiao Mian's body, making Xiao Mian come back to his senses.
With a jolt all over his body, Xiao Mian quickly put the Phantom Spirit Pearl into the forbidden spirit box.
This thing is not an ordinary monster...
Since the immortal stone entered his body, Xiao Mian has summed up an experience over the years: Anyone who can attract the attention of the immortal stone is not a good person!
Thinking about this, Xiao Mian glanced around and scanned the whole scene with his spiritual eyes.
"Huh?"
"What? What did Brother Xiao find?"
"Brother Hua! What do you think is buried in such a big tomb?"
"..., Brother Xiao! I won't let you play like this! Do you still want to rob the tomb?"
"..., Brother Hua, I will definitely come to visit you a hundred years later!"
"You!"
"That's enough! Hua Hua, even if you practice for another hundred years, don't even think about taking advantage of this kid!" Interrupting the two people's argument, Gui Hai asked Xiao Mian: "Have you discovered the identity of the owner of this huge tomb? Tell me, who is he?"
"This huge tomb must have existed for a very long time!"
It turned out that what Xiao Mian saw under the huge tomb was a human skeleton.
But the human skeleton was unusually tall. In other words, it was clearly a giant who stood a hundred feet tall - an absolute giant!
"Ancient giant clan?"
"I'm afraid so!"
"So, the ruins here have existed for at least hundreds of thousands of years?"
"I'm afraid so!"
"..., Brother Xiao, how about we dig up the grave?"
"..., Huahua, I won't let you play like this!"
"..., you two, are you done yet!?"
Unable to bear it any longer, Gui Hai interrupted the two people's meaningless discussion.
In fact, the three of them knew that even if this huge grave was really that of the ancient giant clan, after so many years of changes, what could be left inside?
Even the giant skeleton would probably melt in the wind...
Thinking of the ancient giant clan, they were once dragon-slaying and phoenix-eating people. It is said that they were born with infinite strength, able to fight monsters and gods, and were indeed very powerful.
But so what?
Looking back after 100,000 years, isn't it still a pile of yellow earth?
Especially Xiao Mian and Gui Hai, who entered the Phantom God Temple that day and witnessed the annihilation of a Phantom Citizen with their own eyes, naturally felt more deeply about this impermanence of the world.
Fortunately, the three of them were strong-willed and quickly calmed down.
Seeing that there was nothing else in the ruins except the huge tomb, the three of them turned and left.
This trip was worthwhile to get the Wanhuan Lingzhu.
It should be noted that if this kind of Huanlingzhu is auctioned, it will definitely be in short supply. For some cultivators who are good at illusions, it is not an exaggeration to call it a spiritual treasure.
The reason why this Huanlingzhu can survive in the world is that it has already given birth to a trace of pure spirituality, and knows how to automatically absorb spiritual energy and strengthen itself. This has avoided the crisis of being annihilated by time, and for this reason, its value is inestimable.
The reason why Hua Mancheng gave it to Xiao Mian so happily was half because he really didn't need it, and the other half was that he was forced to do so.
Although Xiao Mian and Gui Hai are unlikely to kill people for the Huanlingzhu, the human heart is the most unpredictable thing, and Hua Mancheng dare not take risks.
What's more, the bet is his own life?
It might be a good idea to use a magical bead that he didn't need to do Xiao Mian a favor, so that Xiao Mian and Gui Hai could help him get rid of the three people...
After that, the three returned to the ruins by the same route.
Gui Hai, still followed Hua Mancheng, leaving Xiao Mian alone.
Before leaving, Xiao Mian gave Wang Yong's Xiong Ba Sword to Gui Hai.
Hua Mancheng saw it but said nothing. Wang Yong's belongings were very eye-catching. Hua Mancheng would have to hang around in Qin County in the future, so he didn't dare to take possession of his things casually.
I think this is one of the reasons why Wang Li gave Wang Yong's storage jade pendant to Xiao Mian so readily.
For Wang Li, no matter how good Wang Yong's things were, they were just death warrants!
As for Hua Mancheng, as long as Xiao Mian could keep his promise and help him deal with the three young masters who were enough to threaten Hua Mancheng, that would be enough!
After lurking for dozens of miles, Xiao Mian took the time to escape underground and hide.
Sitting cross-legged in meditation, Xiao Mian recalled the battle with Wang Yong, and gained a lot.
With a flip of his hand, two things appeared in Xiao Mian's hand, one was the Immovable Mountain Array Plate, and the other was Wang Yong's storage jade pendant.
After careful calculation, Xiao Mian already had two seventh-level array plates, and both of them were obtained from the Wang family. Putting aside the Nine-pillar Dragon Subduing Plate, the Immovable Mountain Array made Xiao Mian very happy - from the original Nine-bend Sky River Array to the later Five Mountains Chaozong Array, Xiao Mian has always had a special liking for defensive arrays.
Moreover, when Wang Yong activated the Immovable Mountain Array before, Xiao Mian personally verified its power, and the attack of the Golden Core Realm could not break this array at all.
Unless the high-grade spirit stone embedded in the array plate runs out of spiritual energy.
For Xiao Mian, this seventh-level array plate is enough to match an excellent mid-level defensive magic weapon, and the array plate is flexible and changeable, which is more handy.
Holding the Immovable Mountain Formation, Xiao Mian began to use his own true essence to perform rituals.
On the other side, Wang Yong's storage jade pendant was opened.
Sure enough, although there were some spiritual stones and other sundries inside, there was nothing that could make Xiao Mian's eyes light up - in fact, there was!
For example, the seventh-level talisman Vajra Immovable Talisman, the three sixth-level thunder beads, the wind and cloud thunderstorm beads, and the Explosive Yuan Pill, which can be called a secret medicine...
Unfortunately, they were all used up by Wang Yong.
Of course, if not, how easy would it be to kill Wang Yong?
If Xiao Mian, Gui Hai and Hua Mancheng faced Wang Yong together, even if Wang Yong was given another courage, he would not dare to fight the three at the same time.
The biggest possibility is that Wang Yong used the super defense mechanism created by the Vajra Immovable Talisman to escape with secret techniques such as Blood Shadow Escape.
Only if Wang Yong thought that he could drive away the enemy by slightly revealing some of his trump cards, then he would succumb under the temptation of the mysterious ruins!
Step by step, he stepped into the dream of death that Xiao Mian had compiled for him!
After the final count, although there was nothing good in Wang Yong's storage jade pendant, there were as many as one million mid-grade spirit stones alone, and more than a thousand high-grade spirit stones, which was considered a considerable windfall. Of course, the storage jade pendant itself was worth a lot of money.
After the count, Xiao Mian had four more jade slips in his hand.
One was obtained from Wang Li, one was obtained from Wang Yong, one was obtained from Hua Mancheng, and one was obtained from Wang Jian...
After looking through the four jade slips one by one, Xiao Mian snorted coldly.
The ancestor of the Wang family - the Yuanying high-level great cultivator who claimed to be a good friend of Wu Lingzi, really had no good intentions!
In the jade slip given to Xiao Mian, the area marked with a blue dot had no special mark in the jade slips of Wang Li and Hua Mancheng, but in Wang Yong's jade slip, that place was marked in red and could not be touched...
This means: 1. In Wang Jian's mind, Wang Yong is the best candidate for the next head of the Wang family, so he cannot get into trouble; 2. Wang Li, Wang Meng and Wang Jue did not get Wang Jian's reminder. In Wang Jian's mind, they were just ordinary people. It was their luck that they did not break into that area. If they unfortunately entered, it was their bad luck.
Of course, the most important thing is that there is danger there!
But in the jade slip that Wang Jian gave to Xiao Mian, it was clearly blue.
What's more, Wang Jian insisted that it was safe there...
Safe, you big head ghost!
If you dare to plot against me, don't blame me for letting your Wang family fight among themselves!
Thinking of this, Xiao Mian put away the four jade slips and concentrated on refining the immovable formation, while quickly recovering from the injuries caused by Wang Yong.
For three days, Xiao Mian stayed dormant.
But on the fourth day, he suddenly received a message from Gui Hai.
"Boy! You don't have to be so aggressive!"
"..., what do you mean by that, brother?"
"Pretend! Are you pretending to me? Did you kill Lu Qingchen from the Lu family?" Without waiting for Xiao Mian to answer, Gui Hai chattered, "Tsk tsk tsk! Ji Wuxin from the Ji family, Wang Yong from the Wang family, Lu Qingchen from the Lu family, you are really bold! At this rate, the next unlucky one will be the Qin family?"
"Wait a minute! Lu Qingchen is dead?"
The four heroes of the Lu family - Gu Yanchenfeng, isn't this Lu Qingchen one of them?
"......, it really wasn't you who did it?"
"I was practicing well, what did I do?"
"That's strange! Lu Qingchen of the Lu family - dead!"
"He's dead! What does it have to do with me? Aren't there enough cultivators who died in Zulongju? Could it be that I did it all?"
"You don't know! Before Lu Qingchen died, he left clear evidence!" After a pause, Gui Hai smiled bitterly and said, "The one who killed him was a mid-level Jindan cultivator!"
"..."
"Now you know why I suspected you the first time I heard the news?"
"I'm afraid you're not the only one who thinks so..."
As Xiao Mian said this, the Beidou Si Nan Pan trembled again.
Seeing that it was Wang Li, Xiao Mian raised his sword eyebrows - long before entering Zulongju, Xiao Mian secretly sent a starlight to Wang Li, otherwise he would not have been able to cooperate with Wang Li so well when dealing with Wang Yong before, it was all the work of Beidou Si Nan Pan!
Sure enough, as soon as he got in touch with Wang Li, he shouted loudly.
"Brother Xiao! Brother Xiao! You are so awesome! Well! Now that one of the four core disciples of the Wang, Ji, and Lu families has died, what are you going to do next to the Qin family?"
"What the hell!" Xiao Mian cursed angrily, and then he felt that the depression in his chest had dissipated a lot. He briefly explained to Wang Li, and regardless of whether the other party believed it or not, Xiao Mian cut off the contact between them. However, from the beginning to the end, Xiao Mian did not cut off the contact with Gui Hai, and therefore, Gui Hai knew everything about the conversation between Xiao Mian and Wang Li. After a long silence, taking a deep breath, Xiao Mian said to himself: "A Jindan mid-level cultivator who can cross levels to kill people? Humph! Interesting..."
"You kid, be careful!"
"Big brother, you too!"
