Chapter 257
Jian Chen sat cross-legged on the bed, and the energy in the two fourth-order demon cores in his hand was continuously absorbed by Jian Chen, since his strength was improved to the Great Sage Master, absorbing the energy in the demon core was much faster than before, especially to Jian Chen's surprise, the awakened Ziqing Sword Spirit and his snatching of energy were no longer as fierce as before, and the energy in the demon core, he could already absorb half of it, unlike before, he could only absorb one layer or even less of the energy, and the rest of the nine layers were snatched away by the Ziqing Sword Spirit.
The purple green sword spirit already has its own consciousness and independent thinking ability, although it can't communicate with people normally, it can already connect with Jian Chen's consciousness in another way, and transmit the meaning it wants to express to Jian Chen in a mysterious way.
The Kai family, not only Jian Chen is cultivating, even the members of the Flame Mercenary Group have also taken out the demon core one by one and locked themselves in the room to cultivate, the appearance of the Xia family and Tianhua Sect has made many members of the Flame Mercenary Group feel great pressure, although they have only joined the Flame Mercenary Group for a few days, and they have not been with Jian Chen for a long time, but Jian Chen's style of acting has been recognized by most mercenaries.
In the blink of an eye, it was already evening, and since the people of Huayun Sect left, the Kai family was very calm, and no one else came up to disturb them.
On a hill 2,000 kilometers away from Wacker, in the dense forest shrouded in darkness, you can clearly see a large open space, a large number of buildings and pavilions standing in the dark night, and the lights are like fireflies, which is so obvious in the dark night.
Tianhua Sect, located in the territory of the Wind Blue Kingdom, is barely counted in the kingdom of the first-class strength, since the establishment of the Tianhua Sect, it has been almost a hundred years, and after a hundred years of development, the Tianhua Sect also has a preliminary scale, thousands of disciples in the door, among which there are more than fifty masters of the Great Sage Master class alone, which is the first major force within a radius of thousands of miles.
In a secret room in this building, two middle-aged men in power suits sat opposite each other.
"Uncle Shi, this is the case, I don't know what kind of action we should take. A middle-aged man said with a serious face, this person is Qingyun. After returning to Tianhuazhong, Qingyun immediately told the head of the Tianhua Sect what happened in Wacker City.
The middle-aged man in a blue power suit sitting opposite Qingyun lowered his head and pondered, he was the sect master of Tianhua Sect - Qingtian, who was five years older than Qingyun, although the two were not very old, but Qingtian's talent in cultivation was not comparable to Qingyun, as early as a few years ago, Qingtian had already broken through the bottleneck of the Great Saint Master and became an Earth Saint Master gloriously, with his talent, now that the past few years have passed, his strength does not know how far he has improved. And Qingyun is still at the peak of the Great Sage Master.
Qingtian frowned and thought for a moment, before he said slowly: "Although the fifth-order demon core is very precious, it is not a priceless treasure, in some big cities, the fifth-order demon core is still relatively common, since Jian Chen refuses to sell, then this matter is over, don't force him and make some out-of-the-ordinary moves, I always feel that this Jian Chen's person does not seem to be simple, if he is offended, I am afraid it will cause trouble for our Tianhua Sect." ”
"Senior brother, are you worried about what powerful background Jian Chen has behind him?" Qingyun's face became a little solemn.
Qingtian nodded slightly, and said: "Yes, this is exactly what I'm worried about, but, no matter if there is a strong background behind this sword dust, his cultivation talent alone is surprising enough, with such strength in his twenties, such a genius is one of the few even if he looks at the entire Tian Yuan Continent, if he is given a few more years, I am afraid he will already become the top master of the Tian Yuan Continent." ”
"Now we have no grievances with him, for a fifth-order demon core is not worth offending such a genius at all, junior brother, you can return to Wacker City early tomorrow morning, if you can, try to make friends with Jian Chen." ”
Qingyun nodded slightly, and said, "Senior brother, I didn't expect you to think of going with me, I was worried about this, so I personally went to tell you about the matter." ”
Qingtian smiled slightly, looked at Qingyun with a somewhat complicated gaze, and said, "Senior brother, your current strength has reached the peak of the Great Saint Master, if you are provided with a fifth-order demon core, I don't know if you are sure to break through to the Earth Saint Master." ”
Hearing this, Qingyun sighed, his expression was lost, and he shook his head and said, "No, although the fifth-order demon core can help people break through the success rate of the Earth Saint Master, I am still not completely sure, once I shatter the Holy Soldier, I am afraid it will be difficult to control the Holy Soldier to condense again." Speaking of this, Qingyun's tone paused, and then he spoke again: "Senior brother, it's not too early, I'll go back to my room to rest first, and I'll rush to Wacker City early tomorrow morning." ”
After finishing speaking, Qingyun straightened up and left the secret room.
At the same time, in a mountain range thousands of miles away, a huge mountain villa stood quietly in a small forest, and this mountain villa was the base camp of the Xia family.
It has been decades since the establishment of the Xia family, and the first head of the family is already a master of the Earth Saint Master, because of his existence, the Xia family has become the number one force within a radius of thousands of miles, and the strength within the family is getting stronger and stronger.
However, the Xia family's base camp was not in the city, in order to be more convenient and unrestricted, they directly built the family's headquarters in the wild, and only installed a branch of the Xia family in a second-level city dozens of miles away.
At this moment, in the main hall of the Xia family, more than 20 people were sitting quietly in the main hall, and in the center of the main hall, a stretcher covered by a white cloth was lying there, outlining the shape of a human body, and there was a little red blood on the white cloth, and the atmosphere in the entire hall seemed a little dignified.
At this moment, an old man in a white robe with a long beard walked from the back of the main hall and sat straight on the first place, and with the appearance of the old man, among the rows of people sitting below, there was a look of respect in their eyes.
"See the old master!"
Just as the old man sat down, the more than twenty people below all left their seats, knelt on one knee and kowtowed.
The old man didn't look at everyone, his eyes were firmly fixed on the stretcher placed in the center of the hall, his expression was a little complicated, and after a while, the old man waved his hand and said, "Sit down." ”
"Yes, old master!"
It was only at this time that everyone finally dared to sit down again, and the expressions on their faces were very natural, and there was no unhappiness in the slightest, which showed how high the status of the old man was in the minds of everyone.
The old man stared at the stretcher lying in the center of the hall for a long time, and finally let out a long sigh, got up from his seat, slowly came to the stretcher and squatted down, and reached out to gently untie the white cloth.
I saw a middle-aged man's face exposed in the air, a pair of hollow eyes of the middle-aged man were blankly open, and he couldn't bat his eyes, and there was a very small wound on his neck that was red with blood.
The old man stretched out his palm and slowly closed the middle-aged man's eyes, covered his face with a heavy white cloth, and then walked to the throne and sat down again, staring at everyone with fierce eyes, and said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on, who killed Uncle Liu Zheng's child." Although the old man's tone sounded calm, those who knew him well knew that the old man's heart was already full of anger at this moment.
