Chapter Seventy-Three: Death Comes
Xiao Jiu stepped into the boudoir and stood still, carefully looking at the surrounding situation, his expression was very vigilant.
"Shangyang Ningxiang see the 'Second Young Master'!"
"Slave Chunlan see 'Second Young Master'!"
Ning Xiang and the maid both called Xiao Jiu 'Second Young Master', and suddenly bowed to him Yingying, and the behavior of the two suddenly shocked him, and hurriedly dodged aside.
"Second Young Master~?I don't know what Miss Ning Xiang means?" Xiao Jiu looked at the two and asked suspiciously.
"Young master, don't be suspicious, I have already confirmed your identity when you came last time!"
"Oh~?You've already determined my identity?Is it just your 'delusional star eyes'? You have to know that the world is big, and there should be many people who look similar, aren't you afraid of getting wrong?"
"Of course Ning Xiang is afraid of making a mistake, if I make a mistake, not only will I be doomed, but even the Young Master of the Nine Heavens will be implicated by me!
After Ning Xiang finished speaking, he took off the drop-shaped jade pendant from his neck, handed it to Xiao Jiu and said, "The young master can sense it and see how this thing has changed?"
Xiao Jiu took the jade pendant suspiciously, only to see that the jade pendant was crystal clear throughout, and a little scarlet in the center of it was very eye-catching.
After he took it, the scarlet in the middle actually emitted a brilliant red light, as if it was boiling, and the heat from it revealed a stream of heat, which actually made him feel a trace of burning pain.
"The second young master has seen the changes in it! This thing was personally handed over to my young lady by the young master of Jiuxiao, and asked her to walk the mainland to find his relatives!"
"Ahh
Looking at the drop of blood steadily, Xiao Jiu suddenly burst into tears, and held it tightly on his heart.
······
After a long time, Xiao Jiu's agitated mood calmed down a little, raised his tear-stained eyes and looked at the two of them and said, "I don't know what the relationship between the two sisters and my brother is?"
"Hmph~!Second young master, our young lady is the confidant of the young master of Jiuxiao!hmm~!It can also be said to be his fiancée-" The girl Chunlan hurriedly said.
"Stinky girl, Te's mouth is open, let the second young master add jokes!" Listening to Chunlan's words, Ning Xiang's face suddenly turned red, and she was infinitely shy for a while, but she never denied what she said.
"Hehe, it's Xiao Jiu abrupt to say this!, then should I call you sister-in-law, or sister-in-law?" Xiao Jiu hurriedly stepped forward and bowed deeply to Ning Xiang, and said jokingly.
"Giggle~, do you need to say this, of course it should be called 'sister-in-law'!" Chunlan also interjected on the side.
"Phew~!Stinky girl, are you begging for a beating? And you're also messing around, you still call me 'sister'!" After speaking, he glanced at Xiao Jiu.
After the words just now, the atmosphere between them gradually became harmonious, as if they were close friends who had not seen each other for many years.
Through their telling, Xiao Jiu finally knew the exact news of his brother Ling Jiuxiao, and it was really 'sad and tearful'!
Although Ling Jiuxiao was named Young Master in the Imperial Palace, his status was very embarrassing, compared to the sons of the Xuantian Divine Emperor, it was a world of difference, and even the most basic cultivation resources were difficult to guarantee, which led to the fact that although he had amazing talents, he only reached the sixth strength of the Martial Saint Realm at the age of thirty.
Xuantian took very strict care of him, did not allow him to cross the thunder pool for half a step, and paid special attention to his strength, Ling Jiuxiao has lived a lot of years like 'walking on thin ice, like facing the abyss'!
But despite this, he has not forgotten to track down the truth of his father's tragic death, as well as to find the whereabouts of his mother and his unmasked younger brother.
By chance, Ling Jiuxiao got acquainted with Shangyang Ningxiang, and the two of them became confidants, which led to her traveling the world, running around for Ling Jiuxiao, looking for relatives and recruiting talents for him by the way, preparing for the future rebellion against Xuantian.
Ning Xiang has traveled all over the Heavenly Spirit Continent over the years, recruiting dozens of dead soldiers above the Martial King Realm for Ling Jiuxiao, as well as hundreds of teenagers with excellent qualifications, and establishing a secret base for these teenagers to train in the base to improve their strength as soon as possible, so that they can be used for great use in the future.
Over the years, she has recruited people and established a base, although he has a Ningxiang Building in the imperial capital, and has successively opened some branches in various places, and the business is also prosperous, but in recent years, the number of personnel has surged, resulting in a huge cost, and now she is stretched thin, struggling, which is why she has no choice but to stop in the Qinglou and accumulate money, but also because of this, she was able to meet Xiao Jiu.
"Sister Ning Xiang, you have sacrificed your life and died so hard for the affairs of my Ling family, please accept my Ling Jiutian worship!" After listening to their past experiences, Xiao Jiu was really heartfelt.
"Don't, don't be like this, I was willing, where did you put me like this?" Ning Xiang hurriedly dodged.
"What my sister has done is worthy of Xiao Jiu's worship!" Xiao Jiu said earnestly.
Ning Xiang pushed but couldn't, so he had to be worshiped by Xiao Jiu, Xiao Jiubai got up, and with a wave of his big hand, a bright hill appeared in the room.
Sizzle~!What's that?
That mountain of things turned out to be the best Xuanjing jade, not to mention tens of thousands of yuan! That situation shocked the two of Ning Xiang's master and servant, and they couldn't open their eyes.
"Young, young master, did you rob these things, or did you dig up a Xuanjing mine?" Chunlan stammered.
"Stinky girl, what are you talking nonsense, if you have the ability, you can rob and see if you can rob these things!" Ning Xiang hurriedly reprimanded on the side.
"Hehe, don't worry, every moment of the best Xuanjing jade here is clean!" Xiao Jiu said with a smile.
"Hmph~!, you kid is generous, as soon as you sell 10,000 pieces of top-grade Xuanjing Jade, it's gone, what a loser! Forget it, 'out of sight and out of mind', old man, I'd better go to sleep!"
"Xiao Jiu, we won't need so much for the time being, you better keep some for yourself!"
"Sister Ning Xiang doesn't have to be polite, just take it, and I'll ask someone to prepare some pills for cultivation and deliver them to you!"
"This, this ——, okay!" Ning Xiang stopped pushing back after speaking, and the two quickly put it away, and the maid Chunlan suddenly smiled, finally no longer having to worry about money!
Xiao Jiu didn't dare to take it out anymore, and they were shocked enough! Because his goal was too big, Xiao Jiu told them the fat man's contact information.
"Xiao Jiu, I don't know when we will be able to meet after this meeting, and when we receive something, we will immediately set off and rush back to the imperial capital, so that your brother will be happy!"
"'Mountains and rivers meet', when we have accumulated enough strength, the day of the crusade against the Xuantian thief will be the time for us to meet!"
"Yes, I'm really looking forward to that day coming soon!" Ning Xiang said with emotion, and then called the other three personal maids, Xia He, Qiu Ju, and Dong Mei also stepped forward to salute.
At this time, when it was already a child, Xiao Jiu got up to say goodbye, and everyone said goodbye in tears.
Xiao Jiu walked out of Huashang Fang and hurried all the way to the post house.
"Hmm~!" Just as he was speeding with all his might, he suddenly found that there was a looming shadow dozens of feet behind him, following him closely.
Xiao Jiu suddenly quickened his pace, and the shadow also quickened the pace of chasing, it seemed that he was really coming for himself.
"Hmph~!I want to see what the hell you are?" Xiao Jiu thought to himself, and did not stop at his feet, but quietly changed his direction, and after a while, he came to a dense forest, and suddenly stopped his steps.
Xiao Jiu stood in the middle of the dense forest, raising his eyes and looking around, the soul power in the soul sea overflowed like a tide, instantly covering the land around him.
Huh~?Behind the shadow of chasing after himself, but there is no trace at this time. He searched the surroundings with his soul power, but he didn't find any clues.
Sizzle~!This person's hidden kung fu is so good, it seems that he is by no means an ordinary person!
Xiao Jiu closed his eyes slightly, calm, his body was highly alert, and he always paid attention to even the slightest movement around him.
Hmmm-
A cold light suddenly flashed from his left side, and a huge scythe slashed at him at great speed, and Xiao Jiu's divine soul suddenly throbbed, and his body turned sharply like lightning.
Thorn -
Xiao Jiu Kankan avoided the opponent's attack, but his sleeve was cut off by the scythe that was as fast as a ghost, and he was also shocked to break out in a cold sweat, and he was approached by the other party without noticing at all.
Whew-
The other party was ruthless, and the scene was suddenly full of sickle shadows, and a storm rushed towards Xiao Jiuzhou.
Nima's!'
At this time, Xiao Jiu's 'Red Flame Separation Fire Sword' shook his hand, and the scene suddenly burst into flames, and he launched a shocking attack with the other party.
The sound of 'clanging' metal collision was endless, and the scene splashed sparks, and spiritual power shot out in all directions, forming a huge vortex of spiritual power, lifting all the dead branches and leaves on the ground, and instantly being shattered, and then turning into nothingness.
A round of lightning-fast offensive ended, the two sides stood opposite each other, and Xiao Jiu had a chance to look at the comer.
I saw a person coming, covered in black, with a large hat covering most of his face, a wicked smile at the corner of his mouth, a huge meniscus scythe on his shoulder, and a cold and bloody aura on his body.
Familiar attire, familiar breath, familiar evil smile-
"Haha~, Death!" Xiao Jiu said with a smile after looking at it.
"Hehe~!It seems that there has been a lot of progress recently, and it really didn't disappoint me!"
"You're not bad, you were able to sneak up on my side and sneak attack!"
"Haha-"
"Hey, hey—"
Uh~!The two people who were facing each other with swords just now are talking like old friends at this moment, which is really surprising.
Boom –
The momentum of the scene suddenly turned sharply, and the two people, who were still amiable just now, launched a lightning-fast offensive again.
The shadow of the sickle and the shadow of the sword were intertwined, constantly making a fierce collision sound, and the air was instantly cut to pieces, and the vacuum zone with a range of dozens of zhang was formed by the impact of the two people's attack, and as long as anything entered the range, it was instantly shattered.
The two of them did their best, but they only fought evenly for a while, and no one could help anyone in a short time.
Phew-
When the two sides were engrossed in the fierce battle, the Grim Reaper's left hand actually tore through his sword net, and a small scythe appeared strangely in front of Xiao Jiu, heading straight for his neck.
'Ah——, it's not good, I didn't expect the other party to hide such a hand!' Xiao Jiu secretly exclaimed, the situation at this time was unavoidable.
