Chapter 33: The Seal
Shen Ao would never have imagined that a small family like the Murong family would be related to a strange existence like the Xiaoyao Underground Palace, which can be said to be incredible. Although the Murong family still has some status in the Eastern Wilderness City, it can only be said to be an ordinary family on the mainland. As for the Xiaoyao Underground Palace, it is a well-known existence in the mainland, it is like a peasant in the countryside who suddenly said that he has something to do with the emperor of the current dynasty, how can this not surprise Shen Ao.
Shen Ao knew that Murong Xiong would certainly not be bored enough to ask questions that children on the continent knew like this, and he was sure that Murong Xiong still had something to say.
"The Xiaoyao Underground Palace is well-known throughout the continent, and even if you are lonely and unheard, you know a thing or two"
Sure enough, after listening to Shen Ao's answer, Murong Xiong only nodded symbolically.
"Meng Gongzi, is it very puzzled that a small family like my Murong family has any virtues, and how can it be associated with the Xiaoyao Underground Palace?"
"I want to hear about it"
"Haha, if I could, I'd rather never have the slightest superficial relationship with that bastard's Wandering Underground Palace," Murong Xiong's voice was sad.
Shen Ao didn't speak, he was waiting for Murong Xiong's next words, he didn't believe that Murong Xiong would only spit bitterness on himself.
Murong Xiong finally calmed down after laughing bitterly at himself a few times, "I'm sorry for making Meng Gongzi laugh."
"It's okay, it can be seen that the head of the Murong family is also a lover."
"Let's get down to business. It stands to reason that our Murong family and the Xiaoyao Underground Palace can't hit one place with eight poles. But since that damn seal appeared, my Murong family's nightmare has finally begun. That seal was found by my Murong family in a lonely tomb in the deep mountains, and there was nothing unusual about that mountain, but not long ago, my Murong family found an excellent ore for building weapons in that mountain, and then accidentally found it during the excavation. When I first found out, I rushed over with the elders of the family to try to find out some secret."
"Sure enough, as soon as the elders and I rushed over, we found the strangeness of the lonely grave. That tomb is buried deep in the ground, and if it weren't for my Murong family's mining, I wouldn't have found it. And the coffin looked like it was in the style of antiquity, and we opened the coffin with great interest, but to our disappointment, there was only an inconspicuous seal next to the skeleton in the coffin, except for the bones. Originally, we didn't give up any hope, but when we read the words on the seal, we were replaced by a burst of ecstasy."
"The seal is simple in style, and it doesn't look very unusual, at most it can only be regarded as an antique of a little value. But with the few words on the seal, its value became immeasurable, and even a big sect like the Fire Sword Sect could not hesitate to oppose the Holy Sword Sect for its sake. Because in front of it is an unprecedented opportunity, an opportunity that is enough to change the continent. There are not many words on the seal, only the eight characters "The Seal of the Underground Palace, the Key to the Forbidden", and now Meng Gongzi knows why my Murong family would provoke such a big force as the Fire Sword Sect. ”
Murong Xiong's face was bitter when he said these words, this was purely a disaster.
When Shen Ao heard Murong Xiong talk about this "key to banning", he could no longer remain calm. No wonder the young sect master of the Fire Sword Sect would not hesitate to personally lead the team to seize the opportunity, no wonder there were so many martial artists gathered near the Murong family, if it was for this palace key, then everything would not be a problem, I was afraid that those old monsters would also come soon, after all, the secret of the Escape Underground Palace was too terrifying, and no one could refuse its temptation. Even if the news may be fake, as long as there is a one percent chance, no one will give up. I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what if, if it's true, if someone takes it away, then it's really a big loss. When you arrive, you don't necessarily have to suffer any loss, at most, it just takes some time and some leg strength.
As for such an obscure small family as the Murong family, I am afraid that it has already been removed from everyone's hearts. Why does your Murong family, a family with no background, have such a precious thing, do you think that the head of your family is that arrogant sky? You think that your family is the Holy Sword Sect? What kind of thing is the Murong family, if it is destroyed, it will be destroyed, who cares about the life or death of a small family? For them, as long as the goal is achieved, then what the process is, how many people have died, and how many small families have been destroyed does not matter. This world is so cruel, the law of the jungle has developed to the extreme here, no one will say that you bully the weak, and the weak have no right to speak. You say this is unfair, okay, if you are a saint-level master, even if you go to torture and kill those people, I guarantee that no one can say half a word. The reality is so cruel, all you can do is try to live and that's it.
Shen Ao felt a pang of distress in his heart, now that his strength had not recovered, he should not have participated in this kind of battle with many masters. This is also a joke made by fate and Shen Ao, who would have thought that saving a little girl would cause such a big event as the Escape Underground Palace in the end, this may be the impermanence of fate in the underworld, and the way of heaven is unpredictable.
Shen Ao cleaned up his mood, no matter what, when he entered the door of the Murong family, it was estimated that he had already had an inextricable relationship with the Murong family, and he would not be optimistic that those who were eyeing him would let him go. Since you can't dodge, then use the sword in your hand to fight a bloody path.
Murong Xiong saw on the side that Shen Ao's expression slowly changed from shock to firmness and indifference, and he couldn't help but nod secretly.
"So, since Meng Gongzi already knows the ins and outs, I don't know how the deal between us is."
Shen Ao thought for a moment, and finally shook his head. Although he really wanted to get the Blue Blood Fruit, he was not so arrogant that he thought that he could save the Murong family with his own strength.
"That's it, Murong family master, I still have self-knowledge, I can't save the Murong family at all, although I really want to get the blue blood fruit, but I still can't do anything. ”
However, Murong Xiong shook his head: "I know the situation of my Murong family, unless it is the top figure in the Holy Order, otherwise it will not be able to save the Murong family under the noses of many top forces at that time, but how can those legendary characters put down their identities to save the Murong family." So Meng Gongzi, I only hope that you can save Yun'er's life, as long as you agree to this request, the old man of the blue blood fruit will immediately offer it with both hands. ”
"Oh, aren't you afraid that I will break my promise and get fat after taking the blue blood fruit?"
"Hehe, although I, Murong Xiong, am a conservative and cowardly person in the eyes of the world, I have also been the head of the Murong family for decades, and I still have some ability to observe people. If Dream Gongzi is really like that, then just treat the old man as blind. Besides, the old man is also a dying man now, so what else dare not bet. After being conservative all his life, he should always take a big gamble. The only gambling in the old man's life is the most unreliable human heart."
Shen Aoruo looked meaningfully at the contemporary head of the Murong family, who was conservative in the eyes of everyone. In fact, he was moved just now, although he didn't have the ability to save the Murong family, but before those masters came, he had the confidence to fight out of the encirclement of the Eastern Wilderness City. If after taking the Blue Blood Fruit, his strength recovers to the middle level of the ground level, and when he is desperate, he can kill the heaven-level junior powerhouse, although he brought a burdensome Murong Yun, he still has the confidence to escape.
"Okay, I promise you"
"It's refreshing, but there is one more thing that Dream Boy needs to do before trading"
"What's the matter?"
"It's easy, beat me"
