Chapter 149: The road encounters twists and turns
A white light, speeding towards the horizon. The speed at which this advance is jaw-dropping, thanks to the powerful transport capacity of the Boundary Stone.
In this white light, it was Ren Xiaoyao and the seven elders of the Ao family.
The surrounding scenery whistled by, and they couldn't see clearly, but the eight people in the white light would not feel a trace of the oncoming wind, which was very comfortable. With the help of the boundary stone, one day is enough for them to reach their destination, the four leaders of the Ye family.
"Ren Xiaoyao, what happened to my Proud Family Star Pool in the past two days, I hope you don't talk nonsense everywhere. In the light group, the second elder of the Ao family stroked his beard and said.
"Of course," Ren Xiaoyao nodded, "but even if I don't say it, I'm afraid everyone in the world already knows those two words." Haven't you already inquired, even the people in the Yun family's territory have heard the sound of those two words. โ
The sound of the "two words" that Ren Xiaoyao said was the words "kill" and "demon" emitted by the stone stained with holy blood.
After that battle, the Ao family had already made many inquiries and found that it was not only the seven elders who heard those two words, but also all the people in the entire Ao family's territory. They continued to inquire and found that there were far more than so few people who heard itโthe Yun family leader that Ren Xiaoyao was talking about was the Yun family, one of the eighteen families they had passed by earlier. You must know that the Yun family is already more than 300,000 miles away from the Ao family.
The second elder's expression remained unchanged, and he continued, "I am not referring to the matter of that stone. I mean, I really can't blame us for your wounds, and I hope you ......."
"Oh, I see, that's it! Then don't worry, I won't cause trouble to the Ao family. Ren Xiaoyao replied cheerfully.
In fact, this time, he was very satisfied with the Ao family's approach. Not only did they escort themselves back to the Ye family, but the wounds on their bodies were also treated by the Ao family's panacea, and now they have fully recovered. Although this is nothing for Ren Xiaoyao, who has the moving treasure of the Saint King Space, it is enough to see the attitude of the Proud family.
Originally, Ren Xiaoyao was still quite hostile to the Ao family, but after the gambling with Ao Shiwu and the Ao family Xingchi incident, his opinion of them has still changed greatly.
The proud family, at least not an enemy, can even be friends if they have the same interests.
This is Ren Xiaoyao's new positioning of the Ao family.
Hearing Ren Xiaoyao's reply, the proud elders nodded, then stopped talking and continued to hurry. Today, the stone stained with holy blood was born, and it was born in the star pool of their Ao family, which was definitely a big deal for the Ao family. Even if it may not have much impact, the hearts of the seven people are filled with that stone and that touch of golden blood at the moment, and they don't think about it.
They all thought about sending Ren Xiaoyao back quickly, and then returning to the family to sort out the matter about the Holy Blood God Stone.
"Bang!"
There was a bang, and suddenly it came out.
The Seven Great Elders frowned, and Ren Xiaoyao also opened his eyes from his cultivation, just in time to see a large piece of shattered stone chips flying by, scattering in the wind.
The speed of everyone's progress was not affected by this, and with the protection of the white energy shield, no one would be injured. However, this stone that hit for no reason still makes everyone wonder.
"How can there be stones on the path of the boundary stone?"
"And looking at the position and size of the stone, it is clear that it is above a boundary stone, and someone has placed it in advance. Could it be a prank by some people?"
Several elders casually guessed a few words, and then shook their heads. After all, a stone like that couldn't stop anyone above the Star Realm. Just by arbitrarily extending the body protection star power outside the body, you can easily destroy such a stone.
The only explanation is the prank of the ignorant juniors.
But at this moment, everyone looked ahead, their eyes couldn't help but widen, and they all looked speechless.
"Damn!"
The second elder, who had a gray beard, actually scolded loudly.
Before there was any more reaction, a terrifying roar was heard: "Bang bang bang ......"
"Boom, boom, boom......"
Countless rubbles scattered in all directions, and brilliant "stone flowers" exploded behind the white light cluster. Looking ahead, there is a big stone on almost every boundary stone, blocking everyone's way!
This kind of "mischievous" general trick will naturally not really block everyone's progress, nor will it bring any substantial harm, but it is enough to make the Seven Great Elders and Ren Yao go crazy.
Think about it, who would want to keep hitting big rocks at high speed, and who would want to hear the rumble of those stones exploding?
This prank is a bit too bad!
"Look, which family's territory is this, how can you condone a junior to do such a ridiculous thing?"
As the Second Elder spoke, he controlled the white light cluster to gradually stop, and under the sudden decrease in speed, everyone stopped in front of the next boundary tablet stone, without smashing the stone with a diameter of nearly fifty meters in front of them.
The white light faded, and everyone jumped out of the path of the boundary stone.
"Second brother, this is the territory of the Shangguan family. One of the elders looked around and replied.
"Hmph, this junior of the Shangguan family is inevitably too naughty, and it's no wonder that those old horsemen of the Shangguan family really don't know how to educate!" The second elder's face turned pale, because he saw that in front of him, there was a huge stone placed on each boundary tablet stone, stretching endlessly, and there was no end in sight.
Speaking of which, putting so many boulders on the boundary stone is really a lot of work.
Ren Xiaoyao also fell into deep thought. The Shangguan family is also the one he is more familiar with among the eighteen families - in the last eighteen family meeting, the Ye family fought against the Shangguan family in the second round.
The Shangguan family ranks seventh among the eighteen families, slightly higher than the ninth Ye family, but it is actually almost the same. With only their family power, Ren Xiaoyao in front of him was guarded by the seven elders of the Proud Family, so naturally he didn't have to worry about anything.
But Ren Xiaoyao also thought that the Shangguan family was in the same camp as the Dongfang family, and it could even be said that it was developed by picking up the wisdom of the Dongfang family. If it weren't for the support of the Dongfang family, I'm afraid that the Shangguan family would not be as good as the Ye family, and it would not be able to rank in the top ten of the eighteen families at all.
Now that the matter is in the territory of the Shangguan family, is it not as simple as a "prank"?
If the matter is related to the Dongfang family, it will not be a trivial matter.
"Second brother, do you remember that an old ghost of their Shangguan family still owes us something?" said the fourth elder of the Ao family, a tall black-bearded old man.
"Oh?" the second elder rolled his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered, "Yes, we haven't settled the account with that old ghost last time! This time the matter is at their doorstep again, let's go to him, and settle the new account and the old account together!"
"Good!"
The proud elders agreed. Obviously, the seven elders knew about the old ghost of the Shangguan family and the old account, and it could be seen that the Ao family and the Shangguan family were already somewhat contradictory, and the contradictions were not shallow.
Saying that, the seven elders of the Ao family were going to take Ren Xiaoyao to the edge of the Shangguan family's territory and go to the "old ghost" to settle accounts.
Seeing this scene, Ren Xiaoyao felt even more strange: it turned out that there was a conflict between the Ao family and the Shangguan family, and it was not too early or too late, but it happened on the way they escorted him, which was a bit strange!
"Elders!"
Ren Xiaoyao shouted loudly behind the seven people.
"What's the matter, boy, we have to do something temporarily, and it will be delayed for half an hour at most! You don't have to worry, there won't be any danger if you follow us, a small Shangguan family can't make any tricks. The Second Elder turned his head and said proudly.
Indeed, with the strength of their proud family, they do have the confidence to speak like this.
Ren Xiaoyao frowned slightly, and directly said his speculation and worries. If this matter is only related to the Shangguan family, it is easy to say, but if it involves the Dongfang family, it is different.
Listening to Ren Xiaoyao's words, the elders of the Proud Family all blew their beards and glared: "Hmph, what can the Dongfang Family do? Our Ao Family doesn't look at the Shangguan Family in their eyes, and we won't be afraid of their Dongfang Family either!"
"Let's go, boy, you can't be so cowardly!"
As the elders spoke, they flew directly to the Shangguan family's territory with Ren Xiaoyao. Ren Xiaoyao saw that the matter was a foregone conclusion, and he didn't say anything anymore, only hoping that things would not be what he thought.
The elders flew all the way with Ren Xiaoyao, and soon arrived at the periphery of the Shangguan family's territory.
Ahead, you can see the tall boundary monument stone, which is the boundary of the Shangguan family. The Proud Patriarchs stopped, because without the consent of the Shangguan family, they could not enter the other party's family territory through the Boundary Monument Stone Array.
"Boom!"
The second elder didn't say a word, and directly slashed his palm, blasting out a terrifying blue palm force, which fell towards one of the boundary stones.
The instantaneous explosion made the boundary monument stone shake for a moment, and it looked like it was about to fall! However, the white light that lit up in time on the other boundary monument stones around it brought enough energy to completely dissolve this palm.
However, such a powerful attack was enough to alarm the people of the Shangguan family.
After a while, more than a dozen figures flew out, two blue figures, and the light around the others was golden. Obviously, it was the family guardian led by two Nirvana Realm masters.
"Who is coming, why did you violate the boundary of my Shangguan family?!"
One of the middle-aged men in the Nirvana realm opened his mouth and shouted, his voice neither humble nor arrogant. However, neither he nor the other Shangguan family members had stepped out of the scope of the boundary stele stone - it was obvious that the palm of the second elder of the Ao family before had already made them realize the gap in strength.
As long as there is the barrier of the Great Array of Boundary Monuments, no matter what kind of power you are, you will not be able to invade other people's family territory for half a step!
This is the source of confidence for these guards of the Shangguan family.
The second elder of the Ao family snorted coldly, and he didn't bother to talk to the dozen or so shrimp soldiers and crab generals in front of him at all. He directly contained his thoughts in the power of his soul, and shouted: "Shangguan Sword Old Er of the Shangguan Family, come out quickly!"
"Shangguan Sword Lao'er, come out quickly! the one who collects the debt from you is here!" the other elders did the same, shouting with the power of their souls.
With the strong strength of their Venerable Realm, the thoughts contained in their soul power were enough to spread for thousands of miles, which naturally made many people in the Shangguan family hear it. Even if the "Shangguan Sword" old man didn't hear it in person, someone would definitely bring the words to his ears.
