41. Mutiny
Three days later, in a cave near Xiliang Mountain, a young man in a black robe was sitting on a large stone with his eyes closed.
This person is none other than Shen Lang, compared to the embarrassment three days ago, he has obviously improved a lot at this moment, and as time goes by, the aura emanating from his body is getting thicker and thicker, and there are faint signs of wanting to break through again.
In fact, after months of continuous accumulation and cultivation, he had already had signs of a breakthrough, but the time had not yet come, so he had to delay it again and again, but he benefited a lot from his battle with Feng Taiyin three days ago, and that feeling became more and more obvious.
Time passed little by little, suddenly, the Yuan Force between Heaven and Earth seemed to be uncontrollable, and began to boil violently, and the next moment, it was like flowing water towards Shen Lang's Dantian, but unfortunately, the Yuan Force between Heaven and Earth here was too thin to support him to break through to the middle stage of the Jiedan, Shen Lang was a little disappointed, but with a flick of his hand, hundreds of spirit stones flew out.
These spirit stones were all obtained by him from Ji Wuming and the others, and now they are just coming in handy.
And as Shen Lang ran the exercises again, these spirit stones quickly decomposed into a trace of spiritual light and poured into Shen Lang's dantian one by one, but Shen Lang seemed to have underestimated his ability to devour spirit stones, and in less than half a moment, these spirit stones were absorbed by him and turned into a pile of dust.
Shen Lang looked at these dusts with a little pain, but with a flick of his hand, hundreds flew out, and so on seven times in a row, although there were faint signs of wanting to be saturated, but it also consumed a huge amount, this kind of wealth is enough for an ordinary family to live a few lives without worry, but in Shen Lang's hands, it can't withstand half a day's effort, so that he can absorb it completely.
With a flick of his hand, he took out another hundred and ten pieces, this was his last bit of inventory, and if he didn't break through, he might not have a chance.
Time is like a leak, a little bit passes, and the hundred and ten spirit stones are also turned into powder one by one in front of Shen Lang, and when Shen Lang refines to the seventy-fifth, the breath in his body finally begins to change, and it continues to be restrained and compressed at an extremely fast speed, and after a short period of calm, Shen Lang suddenly shook his whole body, and broke out again, and at this point, Shen Lang successfully entered the middle stage of the Yudan.
Compared to before, his aura is not half a star stronger at this moment, but three or four times as strong as before.
This is not over, he began to refine the remaining spirit stones again, as the spirit stones disappeared one by one until the last one disappeared together, since then, the strength of this mid-stage knot pill can be considered stable, Shen Lang took a long breath and slowly opened his eyes.
At this point, he had finally broken through to the middle stage of the Jiedan, if he had such a cultivation when he fought with Feng Taiyin! I don't think he would have been forced to be so embarrassed.
Things have already passed, Shen Lang will not continue to care about these, what he is looking at is the future, the Blood Prison Hall will be deflated in his hands this time, it will definitely not give up, it will be a matter of time before it comes again, and what he has to do is to improve his cultivation as soon as possible, so that he has the capital to fight with him.
It's just that this is easier said than done, in a barren place like this Jiayuan City, there are too few things that can enable him to improve his cultivation in a short period of time.
It's also strange to say, Shen Lang was restrained everywhere in the first battle that day, he was pressed and beaten by Feng Taiyin throughout the whole process, and at the last moment, he received the fatal blow, Shen Lang was already a kite in the wind and rain, and his life hung by a thread, but the surprise was that he not only recovered in a short time, but also broke through to the middle stage of the Yudan, such an unbelievable thing happened to him, if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't believe it.
This couldn't help but remind him of the big ding that was integrated into his body, and the power that suddenly appeared in his body at that time, Shen Lang took it upon his heart to find out, but unfortunately it backfired, and he couldn't find a trace of useful information at all.
"It's over, it's time for me to go back to Jiayuan City, if my guess is right, this Haisha Gang and the Liu family should have already gone to the Xiao family to get people, I want to see how bold you are to dare to trouble me?"
Shen Lang muttered to himself, followed by a blur of his body, and disappeared in an instant.
In Jiayuan City, in the Xiao family's meeting hall, all the deacons and elders of the Xiao family gathered here, one by one with sad faces, waiting for Xiao Ding to speak.
Five days ago, the Haisha Gang and the Liu family launched an attack on the Xiao family, and the Xiao family struggled to lose many elite children, and in the end, the two sides were willing to stop when the city lord's mansion came forward to mediate, as for the condition, the Xiao family was required to hand over Shen Lang within seven days, otherwise, the Haisha Gang and the Liu family would not give up.
These days, the Haisha Gang and the Liu family have been surrounding the Xiao family's people in the mansion, not allowed to enter and exit, and today, the Xiao family's food is decreasing day by day, and it is estimated that it will not last for seven days.
Moreover, Xiao Ding's several favoritism has made some people quite dissatisfied, among them, the radicals led by Xiao Yemei's second uncle Xiao Li agreed, and secretly plotted a shocking mutiny, trying to pull Xiao Ding down from the throne of the head of the family and choose another Mingjun, and he Xiao Li is naturally the best choice, and today is their so-called good day and auspicious day.
"Family Master, up to now, seven days have passed since the Yangliu family forgave us, and five days have passed, and if we don't hand over Shen Lang in two more days, my Xiao family will be in danger", at this time, the third elder Xiao Wuyong spoke.
"Yes, in the past five days, they have surrounded my Xiao family, they are going to starve us to death, when has my dignified Xiao family suffered such humiliation? And the one who caused all these consequences was Shen Lang, who didn't know the height of the sky, the head of the family, if you still protect him like this, I am afraid that everyone will be dissatisfied! Then one of the deacons spoke.
"Yes, although my Xiao family has grown stronger and stronger under the leadership of you, the head of the family, for the sake of a mere Shen Lang, I am the first to disagree."
"Yes, as the saying goes, one person does things and one person does, and I don't see him come out to give everyone an explanation, such a cowardly person wants my Xiao family to take trouble for him, I don't agree, I believe the entire Xiao family will not agree."
"Yes, I don't say yes either."
"I'm not convinced, head of the house".
"I'm not convinced either."
Immediately, everyone criticized and pointed the finger at Shen Lang, but Xiao Ding was not stupid, how could he not know that this was aimed at Shen Lang on the surface, but secretly he was crusading against him, Xiao Ding had no words, but planned to wait and see the changes, to be honest, he was also a little guilty, and the Xiao family had more or less his responsibility to fall to the point where it is now.
As the saying goes, if you are not strict, you will not be able to lead troops to fight, and if you are not strict, you will not be able to deter the world, and it is precisely because of his tolerance and indulgence that he has no prestige at all today.
However, at this time, the third elder Xiao Wuyong stood up and made a slightly calmer gesture to everyone, and since then, the lively atmosphere has been a little quieter, and then, the third elder Xiao Wuyong said: "Please be quiet, the head of the family has worked hard for my Xiao family all these years, working day and night, it can be said that he has made great contributions, and his contribution is indispensable, and he can't ignore the honor he brought to my Xiao family because of a momentary mistake, and listen to the opinions of the head of the family, it is not too late for us to discuss."
The matter has come to this point, Xiao Ding is not good to keep his mouth shut, not to mention, he should really give everyone an explanation, after being silent for a while, Xiao Ding said: "Everyone, what the three elders said is too serious, and it is too elevated to me, as the head of the family, I should take the corresponding responsibility, but unfortunately Rao is no matter how hard I try, I can't catch up with one-tenth of my father's reign, I am ashamed, ashamed of all the people of the Xiao family."
"Of course, everything I have done is worthy of myself, you, and the Xiao family, as for Shen Lang, I am even more worthy of my heart and the Xiao family, but I am ashamed of you, so that you will suffer for no reason and be bullied by outsiders."
"There's something here, maybe all the elders will recognize it."
As he spoke, Xiao Ding took out a dragon-shaped jade pendant from his arms, and everyone was shocked when they saw this thing, because this is the personal wear of Xiao Chen, Xiao Ding's father, who doesn't know Xiao Chen's name? It is the spiritual pillar of the ten counties in the southwest, the Xiao family.
"Green Dragon Sun!"
"Yes, this jade is really my father's personal jade pendant, do you know how he returned to my hands? It's Shen Lang, it was he who sent it back to my Xiao family, and not only that, the Qingfeng San, Continuation Pill, and Nine Dragon Liquid refined by my Xiao family before were all brought, and he was my father's apprentice, so I don't have any right to dispose of him, and only my father can dispose of him."
Xiao Ding didn't reveal the Nine Turns Xuanyu Gong, because this was what Xiao Chen meant, and only the head of the family or the heir of the head of the family was qualified to know, even so, the information in it was enough to shock everyone.
I have to say that Xiao Ding is worthy of being a scheming man, and the identity of a disciple will push this responsibility away, after all, Shen Lang is Xiao Chen's disciple, he has no right to dispose of it, when it comes to the end, this is also his helpless move, he can't say that Shen Lang is an immortal master, right? If this is the case, not to mention whether the Haisha Gang and the Liu family will let him go, Shen Lang will not let him go first, and that will be a real disaster for his Xiao family.
What's more, Shen Lang once mentioned to him that everything is low-key, otherwise it will be self-inflicted, and with Xiao Ding's ingenuity, he will not know the stakes.
"What? He is actually a disciple of the old master! ”
"Impossible! How could he be a disciple of the old master? ”
"This is his own meaning, maybe he doesn't want to be too eye-catching, because he promised his father that he would protect my Xiao family for him for three years, and he will automatically leave after three years."
"What? Guarding my Xiao family for three years? Just him? ”
"Yes, it's up to him, because I'm not his enemy."
"What?"
"Not only not, but all of you together are no match for him."
"Impossible, what day is he?"
"It's pretended".
"Okay, I've said enough, I didn't want to mention all this to you, after all, this is a matter of my Xiao family's safety, and I was forced to tell you so much, but since you already know, you have to keep it secret with me, otherwise, no one can save you if you anger him."
"Big brother, what you say is true?" At this time, Xiao Feng suddenly asked, of course, this is also the thought of everyone present, but after all, Xiao Ding is the head of the family, and no one dares to question the authenticity of his words.
"Third brother, I can swear to God that everything I say is true."
"Also, the reason why Shen Lang didn't come forward was not cowardice, I believe that he had other things to do, and he couldn't pull away."
At this point, even if some people don't believe it at all, and even think that this is Xiao Ding's excuse to shirk responsibility, but even so, everyone can't say anything, after all, Xiao Ding has already given an explanation, and if he gets entangled in this again, it will be blatant disobedience.
As the initiator of this mutiny, Xiao Li was naturally very unwilling, seeing that one by one was about to settle the matter, at this time, he finally couldn't help but speak: "Big brother, I respect you so much, and even take you as my example, I don't think that you will not hesitate to make up such a lie in order to deceive everyone, which really chills me and makes everyone cold."
