Chapter 288: A Temptation Coveted by Everyone
Xia Yi and Xie Qingshan moved the two corpses back to the place where the two met, and then they disappeared in the courtyard of a nearby family, quietly lurking, waiting for the people from Longchang to collect the corpses.
During this period, Xia Yi, Xie Qingshan, and Zhitu debated again, and the three of them reached a consensus that if no one came to collect the body in the Dragon Field before dawn, it would mean that the Nine Rank Martial Artist was most likely not performing the task of the Dragon Field.
Judging from the difficulty of the mission, the strength of the dragon field, and other factors, if the assassin did not return to the dragon field overnight, it means that the assassination mission has failed, and if the assassin does not return to the dragon field, then the dragon field will definitely send someone to inspect the joint location.
If it doesn't appear, it means that Longchang was largely not involved in last night's assassination, so the suspicion of Longchang is temporarily ruled out.
The two of them lurked in the courtyard and stared at it all night, but no one came to check on the situation. It wasn't until after dawn that the people nearby found two corpses in the alleyway, and hurriedly reported the case after being horrified.
After Xia Yi returned to the inn safely, Xie Qingshan quietly left and continued to squat at the people in the dragon field, while Xia Yi was constantly appeasing his sister's dissatisfaction.
......
Recently, the competition of the Shangwu Competition is about to enter the climax stage, but the most widely circulated news in Chaoge City is related to Xia Yi.
First, Ying Yinuo angrily scolded the rumor-mongers, and directly cleared Xia Yi and Longxiangyuan of "manipulating the game", of course, for the supporters of the conspiracy party, these can only show that Longxiangyuan is strong enough to use the power in his hands to influence Jiuyi Academy, and it is necessary to suppress the power of Longxiangyuan.
Second, someone released the news that Xia Yi was expelled from the Xia family and stole the ancestral secrets of the Xia family, and the Xia family found Xia Yi and Longxiang Academy, but they were brutally blasted out of Longxiang Courtyard and suffered unfair treatment.
As soon as the second incident came out, it immediately attracted the attention of everyone in Chaoge City.
Everyone is not sympathetic to the Xia family, in fact, everyone doesn't care about the Xia family at all, everyone cares about the ancestral secret book of the Xia family in Xia Yi's hand, whether it is the secret book that he frantically improved the realm before and comprehended the realm of "Martial Spirit Returns to One" within a year.
If Xia Yi really created an unprecedented feat with that ancestral secret book of the Xia family, then after they cultivated that ancestral secret book, would they also be like Xia Yi, breaking through the realm of "Martial Spirit Returning to Oneness" within a year and becoming a generation of grandmasters?
This rumor not only attracted the attention of ordinary people and warriors, but even those warriors, princes and nobles who came from very large backgrounds also aroused considerable interest.
Quickly ascend to the realm?
The temptation is just too great!
In the land of China, even if you have a certain status and background, you can't get people's respect, for people, the martial artist with high realm strength is the most respectable. 4E
No matter who it is, they all hope that they can become a martial artist with high strength in the realm, before Xia Yi became the object of respect and envy of everyone in the land of China in an amazing way, and now people hear that this is an ancestral secret book, everyone seems to have discovered a huge mountain of gold, and their hearts are full of impulses and desires.
That morning, a group of people blocked the outside of the inn where Xia Yi was staying, and some people asked to see and some people scolded, hoping to attract Xia Yi's attention and get a chance to see if they could get the ancestral secret book.
Not long after Xia Yi returned to the inn, he was blocked inside, listening to the commotion outside, saying everything, the anger in Xia Yi's heart rushed upward.
Xia Ye looked at her brother worriedly, and asked in a low voice, "Isn't that 'Secret Record of Mysterious Spirits' a very low-level cultivation technique? Why did it suddenly become like this? Brother, are you really cultivating 'Secret Records of Profound Spirits' to break through so quickly?"
Xia Yi couldn't cry or laugh, he didn't know if Xia Junzi would break through so quickly after cultivating this "Xuanling Secret Record", but in his opinion, this is complete nonsense, even if that "Xuanling Secret Record" really helped Xia Junzi break through to the realm of "Martial Spirit Unity" within a year, but so what? That is definitely not effective for everyone, if it is really effective for everyone, will Xia Junzi still become "the first person in the past"? Definitely not, the creator of this "Xuanling Secret Record" is the "first person" This.
Isn't it a joke that the person who created the "Secret Record of the Mysterious Spirits" was unable to break through the realm of "Martial Spirits Returning to One" within a year? Reasonable people should be able to think of this.
Xia Yi told his sister what he said, and then said, "You have also read that exercise, is there any merit?"
Xia Ye shook his head: "Everyone has seen it, that exercise is indeed not of high grade, I studied it for a while when I was a child, it is a very ordinary exercise, nothing special." ”
Xia Yi spread his hands and said, "Look, you also know that there is nothing special about this exercise, how can I be able to improve my realm so quickly after cultivating this exercise?"
"Then how did these rumors come about? Even if it's Xia ...... The family wants to take back this "Xuanling Secret Record", but why? This is obviously a very ordinary low-grade exercise, what do they want to do when they take it back?" Xia Ye said incomprehensibly.
Xia Ye understood very well in his heart, not because he admitted to Emperor Shang that he was able to improve his realm so quickly, and now he can make a comeback, it is completely the credit of the "Xuanling Secret Record", I am afraid that this is how it came out.
The Xia family wanted to recapture the "Xuanling Secret Record", obviously wanting to take this opportunity to hug the royal family's thighs, or rather, to get the favor of Emperor Shang. It's just that if they spread the news, they may use the righteousness to force Xia Yi to hand over the "Xuanling Secret Record", but it has also brought a lot of uncertainties to this matter, and I don't know if they will cause Emperor Shang's dissatisfaction if they do so.
If Emperor Shang was really dissatisfied that everyone knew about it, then it would not be a good thing for the Xia family.
The brother and sister were talking about this in the room, and suddenly there were many shouts and scolding outside the window, all accusing Xia Yi of being ungrateful, despicable and shameless, and actually stealing the ancestral secret book of the Xia family.
Xia Yi listened to those bottomless scoldings, and the anger in his heart continued to rise, so angry that he wanted to rush out immediately and beat up those guys who spoke without a bottom line!
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room, and the voice of the shopkeeper came from outside the door.
"May I ask Mr. Xia, there are people outside the store who claim to be your friends who come to visit, do you see it or not?"
