Chapter 22: The Secret Room
In the conference room, several powerful figures of the Xiao family were looking at Xiao Yu everywhere.
Ever since he was taken by the young master of the Void Heaven Temple to participate in the hunting competition, there has been no news, and there has been no other news except for the soaring standings.
Under the cover of the dense jungle, they didn't know what they had done.
Naturally, it is impossible to interrogate Yu Zhang about these things, so I have to ask Xiao Ju about it.
First, Xiao Ying spoke: "What level has your strength recovered to?"
Xiao Ju said: "It's even worse than before, it's already at the level of Lingdu. ”
Xiao Ying and several old men next to him all nodded their heads in satisfaction.
In Gaochuan City, reaching the realm of Lingdu at the age of eighteen as an adult, it can be regarded as a talent.
But Xiao Ju has wasted five years of cultivation time, and now he can still reach the upstream level, which is not easy.
An old man next to him then asked, "How did you recover your strength, does it have anything to do with the young master of the Void Heaven Palace?"
Xiao Ju said: "The young master used the flame ant spirit core and fire poison as the medicine, and used the fire to help me wash the meridians of my whole body and recast my body. ”
"Huh!" several people gasped. They are also people who are over seventy years old and have seen all kinds of winds and waves, but they have never heard of this prescription for fire poison and fire.
The flame ant venom is so vicious and terrifying, and it also fuels its toxicity with fire, which... It's simply sensational!
Several people secretly swallowed their saliva, and another old man asked, "Is what you said true?"
"It's true. ”
There was a moment of silence.
Later, he explained some basic matters, let him resume his normal cultivation, and promised him a monthly salary and cultivation resources.
"Wait, there's one more thing. One of the old men, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"Can the Shadow Sangang be handed over to the family?"
As soon as these words came out, Xiao Ju's body trembled slightly, he had been answering the question respectfully with his head down, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but raise his head and look at the old man who spoke with blazing eyes.
Xiao Ju knew this person.
He is the most mysterious existence in the Xiao family, and he is in eternal retreat, so much so that everyone forgets that there is this person.
But he can be seen at every important meeting related to the prosperity of the family.
Often, just a gesture, an expression, or a simple word can instantly decide the topic of a long-standing argument.
This person is the most authoritative existence of the Xiao family.
"Mo Lao, is this a little inappropriate?" Xiao Ying was also shocked when he heard this, the rules of the family have always been like this: the family will not ask for the prizes obtained by participating in various competitions, and whoever has the ability to take it will belong to whomever it is.
Now, this old man, who is respected as "Mo Lao", has ignored the family rules and forcibly demanded this spiritual art.
Perhaps it valued its potential to reach the seventh-order realm, but it actually made a respected old man pull down his face.
"This..."
This made Xiao Ju very difficult. On the one hand, there are the elders in the family who cannot be offended, and on the other side, there are high-level spiritual arts that can greatly enhance their strength, what should they choose?
After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Ju replied: "Can Mo Lao tolerate me for three months, wait for me to study, and then I will definitely hand it over to you personally." ”
There was silence in the conference room, and no one dared to interject at this time.
Several other people looked at Xiao Ju with wide eyes, no one had dared to disobey Mo Lao's orders for decades, and now he was actually broken by a junior.
After a while, Mo Lao still did not respond. He just sat there, motionless, unable to see his joy or sorrow, or what he was thinking.
Xiao Ying was also anxious, for fear that Xiao Ju would anger Mo Lao, and even he would not be able to protect Xiao Ju at that time.
The scene was very depressing for a while.
Finally, when Xiao Ju was about to change his words, Mo Lao spoke, and his old voice came out faintly: "Well, after March, if it is a minute and a second late, I will come to the door to ask for it in person!"
His sentence "personally come to the door" is not a good thing to hear, and he must be looking for trouble.
Xiao Ju breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly saluted, and withdrew.
After that, in the conference room, there were still Xiao Ying and Mo Lao, Mo Lao looked at Xiao Ying, his tone became much gentler, and said:
"Yes, your four sons have good courage and talent, but you have to take good care of them. ”
He paused, his tone suddenly became a little heavier, and he said in a deep voice: "Now that my limit is approaching, the Xiao family's position in Gaochuan City is in jeopardy, once I die, it will definitely be the wall that will fall and everyone will push it." ”
"Right now, either I break through the realm of the Spirit Sect and enter the Spirit King, and increase my lifespan for another hundred years, or I have to quickly cultivate a new pillar. I think your four sons have that potential. ”
"You and I have limited achievements, and the chances of becoming the Spirit King are slim. But he's different, he's still young, and he's talented, and right now, the young master of the Void Heaven Temple is getting close to him, you have to grasp it..."
Xiao Ju walked out of the conference room, the sky had darkened for some time, he found Yu Zhang, and told him about Shadow Sangang.
I wanted Yu Zhang to help come up with ideas, but I didn't expect Yu Zhang to be disdainful at all, and said: "It's just a sixth-order spiritual technique, what's so strange, he wants you to give it to him." ”
Xiao Ju said: "But this is not an ordinary sixth-order spiritual technique, this is touching the seventh-order..."
Yu Zhang sneered and said, "You folk always like to talk about touching the seventh order and touching the holy level, but you don't know how huge the gap between the two is. The word "touch" is just a gimmick to add to the selling point. ”
"You sold those three shadow tricks, I'll give you this king-level exercise tomorrow, what do you think? Anyway, didn't you promise to lend someone a million?" Yu Zhang looked at Xiao Ju with a smile on his face, as if he was joking, but his tone revealed an undoubted feeling.
“.... Uh" Xiao Hao swallowed lightly, not wanting to refuse but embarrassed to ask directly.
Before Xiao Ju could answer, Yu Zhang jumped into the distance and disappeared into the dark shadows of the night.
"Tomorrow at noon, at the door of my room, I will hand over the king-level exercises to you, I will only wait for half an hour, and I will not wait for the obsolescence!"
Yu Zhangxiao threw down a sentence in a dashing manner, leaving Xiao Ju alone in the wind.
"It's really fake..."
In the center of the Xiao family's mansion, behind the meeting hall, there is a small room that seems to be very heavy.
The small house is hidden in the surrounding Xiao family buildings, and it is difficult to discover the existence of this small house except from the sky.
The whole house is a dark dark purple, which looks old and dull, but it gives people a heavy sense of oppression, which makes people breathless.
All the time, outside this special small house, there are heavy guards of the Xiao family, and it is set up behind the meeting hall where the family's high-level leaders are often located, which shows the tightness of its defense.
Once there is any special situation, the masters, including the head of the family and the captain of the guard, can support them as soon as possible.
And in front of such a heavily guarded secret building, a swift black shadow suddenly burst out.
In an instant, many footsteps sounded, and the black shadow was surrounded by more than a dozen well-equipped guards.
"What people!"
The guards were wearing heavy armor, and the spears in their hands were exactly the same as those held by the Xiao family soldiers that Yu Zhang met on the first day when he came to the world.
The guards formed a circle, and the sharp tip of the spear in their hands was close to Yu Zhang's neck, and if there was any abnormal movement, they would not hesitate to stab down.
"I ask again, who?!"
After another moment, the guards stopped questioning, and with a turn of their guns, they wanted to get rid of the people in the encirclement.
"Bang!"
A loud metal crash sounded, and more than a dozen guards were stirred back two steps by the reaction force.
"Yes, the killing is decisive, but the power is a little weaker. ”
The figure in the dark night suddenly lit a string of flames from his fingertips, revealing his true face clearly.
I saw that his neck was covered with golden feathers, which shone metallicly under the reflection of the firelight. There is a ring of scuff marks on the feathers that are fading rapidly over time.
The fire lit up, and the guards could see clearly the appearance of the person who came, it was the owner of this small house, the people of the Void Heaven Temple.
"Welcome young master!" the guards quickly adjusted their posture and stood in a straight line.
"Keep watching, and let no one in. Yu Zhang waved his hand, turned around and walked to the door of the small house.
The door is painted with mysterious runes, and in the center of the runes, there is a hole that is not big or small, presumably used to put the key.
Yu Zhang put his palm on the door, his eyes were slightly closed, the spiritual power in his body surged, the dark purple spiritual light on the door flowed, with a "crunch", the door cracked in the middle, Yu Zhang walked in, and after his whole body was completely submerged in the dark room, the door closed again.
Seeing this, one of the guards with a strange gem in his hand muttered, "It seems that this is the real young master, and he actually opened the door of the seal without this key..."
