Chapter 245: Robbery while the fire is hot
Hundreds of Nether Guards dispatched together to surround the entire Zhao Mansion. Zhao Fu's reaction was also very fast, and a middle-aged man who looked like a housekeeper rushed over and shouted angrily: "Who are you, so bold, do you know what kind of place this is, do you want to rebel?"
"I don't think I'm going to rebel, it's the people of the Zhao family who want to rebel. Do you still dare to make noise?" Xia Fan raised his right hand, a layer of black mist wrapped around his palm, and he suddenly pointed at the steward of the Zhao Mansion who was galloping over.
This finger instantly triggered the surrounding magnetic field, making a crisp sound, and the entire space was as fragile as a piece of glass, shattering.
"Ahh
These mist threads are extremely strange, like leeches, which can suck up the essence of his body, and the speed is extremely fast, and it has already sucked all his blood dry in the blink of an eye.
The steward of the Zhao Mansion was shriveled down, like a dried corpse, looking extremely hideous.
Looking at Xia Fan again, after absorbing this person's essence, his face was ruddy and his magnetic field was vigorous, as if he had just taken a great tonic elixir.
"After the Ten Thousand Soul Silk is fused with my body, as long as I have one thought, I can sacrifice dozens or hundreds of Ten Thousand Soul Silk, which are invincible. Coupled with my own devouring ability, the combination of the two is simply terrifying!" Xia Fan tried the power of Ten Thousand Soul Silk for the first time, and felt very satisfied.
This Zhao Mansion steward also had the strength of the early stage of the first-level star, but in front of Xia Fan, he didn't even have the strength to resist, and he was destroyed in the blink of an eye.
Those people who gathered around the Zhao Mansion and originally had the mentality of watching the excitement saw this scene, and they were extremely shocked and their scalps were numb.
This kind of means of absorbing other people's strength and using it for oneself is too shocking.
"The Netherworld Pavilion wants to arrest people, and you dare to stop it, it's just innocent. Xia Fan snorted coldly, casually threw down the corpse of the steward of the Zhao Mansion, flicked his fingers, and popped out a ball of sun essence fire, burned it, and destroyed the corpse.
"You come here!" Xia Fan casually beckoned a Nether Guard, then took out a magnetic plate from his cuff and ordered, "Take this magnetic plate and enter the Zhao Mansion to dignitaries." Within the time limit of one stick of incense in Zhao's mansion, Zhao Zhenqing will be handed over. Otherwise, you will give me a bloody bath in Zhao's mansion, and no one will be left. β
"Yes. The Nether Guard bowed and turned to walk towards the Zhao Mansion.
Xia Fan stood in front of the Zhao Mansion with his hands in his hands, looking at the sky with his eyes, waiting for the result. At the same time, he also ordered someone to place an incense burner in front of the door and insert an incense stick. With a flick of his fingers, he lit the incense stick with the essence of the sun, and the curling smoke rose up, exuding a faint fragrance.
This incense stick burned extremely fast, and it took less than ten minutes to burn a third of it.
At this time, the door suddenly opened, and the Netherworld Guard, who had just entered to convey the message, walked out again, hurriedly came to Xia Fan's side, and said in a hoarse voice: "Return to Xia Protector, Zhao Xun, the great elder of the Zhao family, please come to the mansion to talk about it." β
"Zhao Xun?" a cold glint flashed in Xia Fan's eyes.
On that day, he was refining weapons in the square and entered the realm of selflessness, and this Zhao Xun was one of the people who insisted on killing himself. He naturally didn't have a good impression of this old guy.
However, this Zhao Xun has lived too long, and his age and experience of more than 800 years old make this person extremely shrewd. Even if the city lord is there in person, he doesn't dare to hold it up in front of him. So when he heard Zhao Xun invite him, Xia Fanton felt tricky and felt that this was definitely a Hongmen banquet.
Just when he hesitated, a leisurely voice suddenly came from his ear: "Just go, the old man will not be by your side at all times, and he will not let you encounter danger." β
Xia Fan was immediately pleasantly surprised, this voice was familiar to him, wasn't it the voice of the ghost?
It turned out that the ghost had arrived a long time ago, but he had been hiding in a corner and secretly taking care of him. At this moment, it is inconvenient for the secret official to appear, so he can only give a reminder.
After having a ghost official by his side, Xia Fan suddenly felt a little more confident.
"Okay, let me meet this old fox and see what tricks he wants to play!" Xia Fan's eyes flashed, and he made a decision, ordering this group of Nether Guards to almost guard around the Zhao Mansion, without any slackness. Then he pushed open the door of the Zhao Mansion and walked in with two Nether Guards.
Although this Zhao Mansion does not have the style of the City Lord's Mansion, the whole pattern is very atmospheric, with flowers, birds, insects and fish, everything, and the richness of the aura in the mansion is obviously nearly twice as high as that of the outside world, and it is definitely a treasure land for cultivation. It is no wonder that the Zhao family has been able to survive thousands of years.
Along the way, Xia Fan saw many children of the Zhao family, and his gaze towards him was full of deep hostility.
The Zhao Mansion has stood in the Tiandu City for thousands of years, and it has never been like today, when others are besieged and cannot take half a step. This is simply their Zhao family, a great shame.
"Hmph. Xia Fan snorted heavily.
The group of juniors of the Zhao Mansion, who were full of hostility towards him, couldn't help but tremble, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to look at him anymore.
This is the momentum on Xia Fan's body.
This time, he came with the guards of the entire Netherworld Temple, and his momentum was violent, and naturally, he exuded a strong self-confidence.
"A group of cowards......" Xia Fan said coldly to this group of people, without hiding his disdain for them in the slightest.
When several children of the Zhao family heard this, they couldn't help but blush, and their bodies were full of murderous intentions, and they pinched the joints of their fingers to make a "gaba, gaba" sound.
"Come on, shoot at me, so that I have a reason to slaughter the entire Zhao family in a bright and bright way......" Xia Fan had a voice shouting in his heart, encouraging this group of Zhao family children.
His grievances with the Zhao family cannot be resolved from this moment on.
But he was disappointed, although this group of Zhao family children was extremely angry, they all stood stiffly in place, and none of them dared to act rashly.
Obviously, before, they had received a strict order from Zhao Xun, the great elder of the Zhao family, that no one was allowed to make a move against Xia Fan, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.
"Xia Protector, please, my ancestor is inside. A girl named Zhao Xin'er led him in front and walked into a secret room.
After Xia Fan brought people in, he was immediately vigilant to find that the entire secret room looked extremely simple, with only two futons and a portrait hanging on the wall. And on one of the futons, Zhao Xun was gray-haired, sitting precariously, as if he was asleep, motionless.
"Ancestor, people have already brought it!" Zhao Xin'er called in a low voice.
"Here, then sit down!" Zhao Xun slowly opened his eyes, and there was nothing abnormal on his face, as if he didn't know that the outside of the Zhao family had been surrounded.
Xia Fan was not polite, he directly grabbed the futon and sat down, and then stared at Zhao Xun carefully.
This ancestor of the Zhao family looked very old, the folds of his face were pressed one layer at a time, almost crumpled into a piece of dough, his gray hair was thin, and even his scarlet scalp could be seen. At such an age, this person has already entered a period of decline, and if he can't break through again, I'm afraid he won't be far from death.
"Hehe, Xia Fan, right? Old man Tuoda, it's okay to call you Xia Xiaoyou?" Zhao Xun smiled on his face and said kindly.
"Whatever. "Xia Fan doesn't care about authenticity.
If it is someone else in Tiandu City, Zhao Xun personally speaks and respectfully addresses him as "little friend", I am afraid it is enough to immediately become famous and complacent. But Xia Fan is different, between him and Zhao Xun, they are already on the same page, so they don't pay attention to this kind of superficial politeness.
Zhao Xun was so shrewd, he couldn't hear Xia Fan's perfunctory tone, and immediately said: "The old man admits that he was indeed a little unfriendly to Xiaoyou before. If I had known that you were a refining master, I am afraid that the old man would have to draw you into my Zhao family, and even respect you as the chief worshipper. It's a pity, when the old man sees the value of you, you and the Zhao family have already formed a mortal enmity!"
Zhao Xun sighed, these words came from the bottom of his heart. Just imagine, if they can attract a refining master, the strength of their Zhao family will definitely rise by leaps and bounds in a short period of time, not to mention the Cai family, even if it is the city lord's mansion, I am afraid it will be difficult to shake the status of the Zhao family.
"Xia Mou has always been that people don't offend me, I don't offend people. But in this matter, it was your Zhao family who took the initiative to attack me, and repeatedly tried to put me to death. Now that things have developed to this point, I can't complain about ......" Xia Fan sneered, if it weren't for the remnant master's strong intervention, he would have become a lonely ghost a long time ago, where is he still qualified, sit in front of Zhao Xun and negotiate conditions with him?
"Now that it has happened, the old man doesn't want to find out whose reason it is. The old man only asked you one sentence, what can you do to make you stop?" Zhao Xun's eyes brightened for a moment, and then he regained his composure.
"Stop?" Xia Fan didn't expect that this Zhao Xun would get straight to the point and ask such a question.
It can be said that before coming here, he never thought of stopping, and even felt that if he had the opportunity, he would make things bigger and kill all the people in the entire Zhao Mansion, so as to eliminate the hidden danger.
"My Zhao family has stood in the Tiandu City for thousands of years, during which it has experienced countless storms and waves, and it can still prosper for a long time, do you think that just such a thing can make my Zhao family hurt their muscles and bones, and even be in danger of extinction? If you think so, it is too naΓ―ve. The background of my Zhao family is far from what you can imagine......" Speaking of this, Zhao Xun suddenly became stronger.
Xia Fan was shocked by his words. Indeed, with the background of the Zhao family, how could it be so easy to move down? It can be said that the power of the Zhao family spread throughout all areas of the entire Tiandu City, and even the Xuanjia Guard was infiltrated by it and cultivated several hundred people.
Even Mr. Bai is inextricably linked with the Zhao family, and even more or less involved in the planning and implementation of the whole thing.
"Huh?" When Zhao Xun said this, Xia Fan inadvertently caught a glimpse of Zhao Xun's eyes, and a few traces of essence flickered in the corners of Zhao Xun's eyes.
"This old guy wants to oppress me with power and let me dispel the idea of dealing with the Zhao family. Sure enough, it was a shrewd old fox, and he almost fell for him. β
Xia Fan reacted quickly, and immediately sneered: "So, your Zhao family is ready and wants to reconcile with me?"
"I won't tell you the truth, my Zhao family is indeed prepared......" Zhao Xun smiled faintly.
"I'd like to see how much I'm worth now. Xia Fan said.
"There are dozens of young women in my clan, all of whom are peerless, gentle and lovely. You can choose any one of them and become a double monk. From now on, you will no longer be a casual cultivator, and my Zhao family will be your strong backing. Even if you are born in the future, my Zhao family can do their best to protect it. Zhao Xun said.
There are indeed many young beauties in the Zhao family, and just along the way, Xia Fan saw several bright and moving girls.
His condition, if it were someone else, he might be excited, but Xia Fan would not, no matter how beautiful the Zhao family's woman is, can she be as beautiful as the city lord's daughter Gu Lingyun?
"You seem to have used this condition when you bought Ling Quan, right?" Xia Fan sneered.
Zhao Xun laughed and said nonchalantly: "Of course, your value is much higher than that of Ling Quan, and this is just one of them." Second, the old man will give you a treasure medicine to help you successfully break through the second-level star realm. Third, I heard that you are still living in a casual cultivation place called Yan Chishan, so the old man specially prepared a mansion for you, which is at least several times better than the one in Yan Chishan. β
"That's all?" Xia Fan asked lightly.
"Huh?" Zhao Xun thought that Xia Fan would be moved when he said such a generous condition, and couldn't wait to agree, but he didn't expect Xia Fan to come up with such a sentence in the end.
He thought for a moment and said, "Of course, it's not just that, the old man will also hire you to be the chief worshipper of my Zhao family, and there will be nearly five thousand pieces of Lingbi every month." In addition, you also have special conditions, as long as it is not too excessive, the old man will consider it at his discretion. β
This time, the Zhao family really made a bloody investment. Just talking about the second condition, you can directly break through the treasure medicine of the second-level star realm, how rare it is, it belongs to the kind that has a price on the market. This elixir has been passed down in the Zhao family for nearly two hundred years, and now that it is taken out, there is also opposition in the Council of Elders, or Zhao Xun has forcibly suppressed the noise of opposition by virtue of his identity as a great elder.
"Do you think that's enough?" asked Zhao Xun with a smile.
He believed that such favorable conditions were enough to dissolve Xia Fan's anger towards the Zhao family.
The reason why he had to promise Xia Fan so many conditions, in addition to being afraid of his identity as the protector of the Netherworld Pavilion, was more about being a refining master, if he could really turn the conflict into a jade silk, for the Zhao family, there would only be benefits and no harm.
"Not enough, far from enough. Xia Fan suddenly said loudly, "Those are your conditions, let me also talk about my conditions! First, Zhao Zhenqing must be handed over, second, five million Lingbi must be handed over, and third, there is also that pill, I also want it! This is my condition, give you an hour to prepare." An hour later, I'll pick it up, but if there's one missing, I'll wash the Zhao Mansion in blood!"
Xia Fan Huo Ran got up and strode towards the secret room.
"Xia Fan, you are taking advantage of the fire to rob. Zhao Xun's face suddenly turned pale, and his voice suppressed anger.
