Chapter 285 Xiao Family Incident "Which sect is the best for spiritual cultivation? Look for Dongfang at Shenhuoshan Villa!" "Want to learn powerful spells but have no way to do it? Don't worry, come to our Shenhuoshan Villa." "Want to refine a powerful magic weapon but don't have the materials? Don't be afraid, come to our Shenhuoshan Villa." "You can get magic spells as soon as you enter, and pure Yangyan is given for free!!!" "It is a great place to practice and seek the truth with the guidance of famous teachers, excellent environment and many magical tools." "Come to Shenhuoshan Villa, you will be the next champion of the Newcomer Martial Arts Competition." "Defeating the second generation of evil youngsters, marrying a lady from a noble family, and reaching the pinnacle of life, none of these are a problem!" "What are you waiting for? Come to Shenhuoshan Villa and sign up!" "Special note: the villa focuses on accepting people who are born with artifacts and have special visions. If you are such a rare talent, please come to Shenhuoshan Villa as soon as possible. We will focus on training you." Standing in front of the phantom stone, Jin Renfeng uttered an exaggerated advertising slogan.
As soon as the words fell, the entire place suddenly became silent, and you could hear a pin drop. No one expected that the champion of the rookie competition would be of such a character, and even said such inappropriate words in the victory interview. For a moment, Huaizhu under the stage covered his face with his sleeves. Li Muchen turned his head away and pretended not to know him. Many contestants lowered their heads, feeling inexplicably ashamed. Only little Qin Lan thought it was very lively and interesting, and she kept clapping her hands. “I didn’t expect that the so-called championship experience would be an advertisement for Shenhuoshan Villa. This kid is really interesting!" Elder Wen on the side laughed out loud. The head of the Li family couldn't help laughing. Even he didn't expect that this young man would do such a thing. "Brother Gu Yue, how worried are you that Shenhuoshan Villa won't be able to recruit people? You're so eager to force your disciples to promote it!" Elder Wen said with a smile. "It is probably his first time to accept disciples, so he is unsure!" The head of the Li family said. "How about we give him a hand?" Elder Wen looked at the Li family's patriarch and continued. "How to help?" The head of the Li family asked.
"There are quite a few people in our two families' jurisdictions who want to seek the immortal way. But it is impossible for our two families to accept all of them." Elder Wen continued, "It would be better to introduce them to Shenhuoshan Manor to learn from a master. This way, they will have a future, and Brother Gu Yue won't have to worry about disciples." "I can't see it!" The head of the Li family shook his head slowly. "Both of our families are not close to Shenhuoshan Villa." "If they were cultivators, they wouldn't care about a distance of a thousand or eight hundred miles, but those who come to learn from a master are all ordinary people. If they are asked to travel such a long distance, I'm afraid few people can do it." "We can't just send someone else to send them over there!" "If they can't do it, then they have no chance!" Elder Wen laughed and said, "Anyway, we've given them the chance. Whether they can catch him or not is their own business." “We are not responsible for them.” "If that's the case, that's fine!" Hearing this, the head of the Li family nodded. Since you don't have to pay anything, you don't have to worry about anything. It's just a favor anyway. . . . . . . "Dad, the Soul-Calling Whip is damaged!" In the main hall of the Xiao family, after sending everyone away, Xiao Tianci knelt on the ground, crying out loud. Snapped-- The teacup fell to the ground, making a crisp sound. "Little beast! What did you say?" Xiao Wancheng asked in disbelief, his hands trembling. "Dad! The Soul-Calling Whip is destroyed." Xiao Tianci cried and wailed, "When Tian Yuan was fighting with his magic weapon, the little beast from Shenhuoshan Villa used some weird means. He actually cut off the soul-calling whip directly." "We went to seek justice from him, but were blocked by the heads of the Wen and Li families. During the dispute, Tian Yuan was even locked up by the head of the Wen family." "I have no choice but to come back to find you first!" "Where is the soul-calling whip?" Xiao Wancheng didn't care about the situation of his second son at all, but asked directly about the soul-calling whip.
"At this!" As he spoke, Xiao Tianci took out the purple whip that was broken into two pieces from his sleeve. "Broken? Broken?" Xiao Wancheng bent down tremblingly, took the two pieces of the whip in his hands and examined them carefully. After confirming that the object in his hand was indeed the Soul-Calling Whip, he collapsed to the ground. "Dad! Dad! Are you okay?" Xiao Tianci hurried forward to support him. Xiao Wancheng's face was pale and his eyes were dull. Without the Soul-Calling Whip, the Xiao family would be finished. "Dad! Please don't scare me!" Xiao Tianci struggled to help him sit on the armchair, poured him a cup of tea and fed him the water. After a while, Xiao Wancheng came to his senses and looked at Xiao Tianci beside him. He stood up angrily, stepped forward and kicked him to the ground. "The Soul-Calling Whip was destroyed. Why didn't you die there? Why did you come back alive?" Xiao Tianci did not dare to resist. He was kicked hard and knelt on the ground. He said, "Dad, this is not my fault!" "The Soul-Calling Whip was cut off by that little bastard from Shenhuoshan Villa. It happened suddenly and I was not able to react in time. The blame should not be placed on me!" "Little beast, let me ask you, how did this soul-calling whip break?" Xiao Wancheng fixed his gaze on Xiao Tianci with a ferocious look on his face. "It was cut off by that little bastard from Shenhuoshan Villa." Xiao Tianci replied. "How dare you lie!" Xiao Wancheng swung his arm and the whip hit Xiao Tianci directly in the face. Xiao Tianci howled miserably and rolled on the ground. "Now that you are in front of me, you still dare to deceive me!" Xiao Wancheng asked loudly, "This Soul-Calling Whip is the magic weapon of the Great Demon King. How could it be cut off by a ten-year-old child?" "Dad, I didn't lie to you, it was really that kid who did it!" Xiao Tianci howled,
"Everyone present saw it!" "I guess the news will come out in a few days!" "How dare you lie!" Xiao Wancheng raised his arm and was about to swing the whip again. "Even if the father beats the child to death, the fact is still there and it cannot be changed!" Xiao Tianci shouted loudly. Seeing his son's determined eyes, Xiao Wancheng's expression froze and he stood there in a daze. A magic weapon of a great demon king was cut off during a mere rookie conference? How does this make him believe? "Dad, it has already happened. The most urgent thing now is not to hold someone responsible, but to recover the losses." Seeing this, Xiao Tianci persuaded. "Now that the family is at a critical moment of life and death, we must come up with a charter to decide how to deal with it." Xiao Wancheng collapsed on the armchair, covering his forehead with his hands, his mind in a mess for a moment. "What do you think we should do?" He raised his head, looked at his son and asked. "I think we should make preparations for both scenarios!" Xiao Tianci continued, "On the one hand, we will look for a top weapon master to repair the Soul-Falling Whip as quickly as possible and recover as much damage as possible." "On the other hand, try to block the news as much as possible and prevent the news of the damage to the Soul-Calling Whip from leaking out. At the same time, spread the word that the Soul-Calling Whip has been completely repaired." "This is the only way to protect my Xiao family." "Since you want to repair the magic weapon? Why don't you go directly to the Li family? Isn't he the host of the conference? Wouldn't it be more convenient to repair it?" Xiao Wancheng frowned. "The head of the Li family has always been at odds with my Xiao family. I'm worried that he will secretly attack us and destroy our magic weapon!" Xiao Tianci explained. "That's right! The man from the Li family always goes against us. If we send the Soul-Calling Whip to him, it might be damaged even more seriously." Xiao Wancheng murmured, “You did a great job on this!” "Dad, let's go next-" Xiao Tianci asked tentatively. "Let's do as you say! This is the only way now." Xiao Wancheng sighed.
Just as the father and son were discussing how to deal with the matter of the Soul-Calling Whip. boom-- The door was suddenly pushed open with a sound. Then four old men rushed into the hall with dozens of men. "Who let you in? Are there any rules?" Xiao Wancheng put the soul-calling whip into his sleeve without leaving a trace, stood up, and shouted angrily, "This is the main hall of the Xiao family. Can you just barge in here at will?" "Xiao Wancheng! Stop pretending!" An old man in the lead shouted angrily, "We all know about you!" "my business?" Xiao Wancheng pretended to be calm and said, "I wonder what my uncle has found out about me?" "Why are you still making such a fuss?" "Of course it's because the inherited magic weapon, the Soul-Falling Whip, is damaged!" The leading old man said. "The Soul-Calling Whip is broken? How come I didn't know about it?" Xiao Wancheng pretended to be surprised. "Okay! Stop pretending!" The old man showed an impatient look. He turned around and made way for a young man. "Xiao Tianpeng, tell me what you saw at the conference yesterday!" Seeing this, Xiao Wancheng's pupils suddenly shrank. The other party dared to do so, which clearly showed that they had already obtained solid evidence. "These few days, I had some free time to go watch the newcomers' martial arts competition,—" The young man stumbled over his experience. "Why, Xiao Wancheng, are you going to continue covering it up?" The old man snorted coldly. Xiao Wancheng seemed to have no bones, and he slumped down on the armchair. The current situation did not allow him to deny it. "What does Second Uncle want?" He said calmly.
The old man's sharp gaze shot towards Xiao Wancheng's face. "Xiao Wancheng, you asked your second son to take the Soul-Calling Whip to participate in some martial arts competition, but he was not strong enough and had someone cut off the Soul-Calling Whip on the spot." "Now the inherited magic weapon is damaged, and its power has greatly decreased." "You should bear the main responsibility!" "As the head of the Xiao family, you have seriously neglected your duties. I demand that you step down immediately. Give up the position of head of the family." "Abdicate? Since ancient times, there has never been a patriarch of the Xiao family who was forced to step down by his fellow clansmen." Xiao Tianci's eyes were red. "You are forcing me like this, which is clearly a great rebellion." "Treason? I think you are the ones who are committing treason." The old man snorted coldly. "As the head of the Xiao family, he not only lost the position of Chief Prosecutor that had been passed down from generation to generation in the Xiao family, but also destroyed the inherited magic weapon in his hands." "He can be said to be the eternal sinner of the Xiao family." "Let alone asking him to abdicate, what's wrong with beheading you and your son on the spot?" Xiao Tianci's face turned red and he didn't know how to argue for a moment. "Abdicate! Abdicate!" "Give up the position of clan leader!" The tribesmen nearby shouted loudly. Looking at the crowd around him glaring at him, Xiao Wancheng's eyes were dull. At this moment, he was surrounded by enemies on all sides. . . . . . . After stepping down from the podium, Jin Renfeng directly summoned the Samsara Mirror. "Mirror of Samsara, how much causal power do I have now?" [The current causal power is 139 points! ] A message came from the ancient bronze mirror. "Sixty-four more points than last time?" Jin Renfeng seemed to be thinking about something. As the conference entered its final stage, the power of cause and effect obtained by the Samsara Mirror increased. In the finals, the score even reached over 20 points. "Although I have gained a lot of causal power, it is still a few dozen points less than the previous Blue Sky Conference and the Yang Family Wedding Banquet." Since this conference lacked the main characters such as Wang Quanbaye and Yang Yitan, the amount of causal power he obtained this time was much less. It was not as easy as before to obtain more than 100 points of causal power. "If we exclude the causal power brought by my two junior sisters and Li Muchen, after playing so many games, I estimate that I can only obtain more than fifty points of causal power. It's really pitiful."
Jin Renfeng shook his head. "But it's still much better than being alone in a world of one person." "Now there are still more than 150 points of causal power away from analyzing the pure Yangyan. I still need to continue to think of ways to accumulate causal power!" With a sigh, Jin Renfeng took a step and returned to his two junior sisters. "Master brother, now that you have won the championship, you have to treat me to something delicious." As soon as they met, Qin Lan shouted loudly. "Okay! Yours is indispensable." Jin Renfeng chuckled and rubbed the girl's forehead. "By the way, Senior Brother is really lucky! He was still thinking about the Qiankun Sleeves two days ago! Unexpectedly, he got a space ring today." Huaizhu said with a smile. "Fortunately!" Jin Renfeng nodded with a forced smile. For him, this prize was really unsatisfactory. "Hey! That's the work of my old man who worked so hard on it. What does it mean to be okay?" Seeing him like this, Li Muchen refused to do it. "What? You don't like it? If you don't like it, just give it back directly?" "What's your attitude of being so reluctant?" "Girl, why are you so unreasonable?" Jin Renfeng smiled bitterly. "This is a prize for the conference. How can we take back a prize for the conference?" Li Muchen snorted in dissatisfaction. "They gave you the prize with good intentions, but you are being picky here." "You deserve to be sent back!" Jin Renfeng smiled bitterly and shook her head. This girl was really too fierce. "My dear nephew, congratulations on winning the championship of this martial arts competition." At this moment, a generous voice interrupted the conversation between several people. "father?" Li Muchen turned around in surprise, only to see the head of the Li family standing behind them. "Why are you here?"
"Of course I came to see you." The head of the Li family smiled. He looked around and saw Li Muchen and Li Jingang were there, and he couldn't help but nod secretly. Finally, he set his sights on Jin Renfeng. "Nephew, how about this space ring?" “I haven’t used it yet, but it can accommodate a space of one kilometer. It is indeed a masterpiece of ingenuity.” Jin Renfeng said in a deep voice. "Hypocritically!" Li Mucheng snorted. "I heard you say before that you were a little unhappy with this ring?" The head of the Li family asked. (End of this chapter)
