188 Escort to the Tribulation Period
Wuxin felt very sorry for not being able to receive the large order for salvation from the Qiao family.
He left with a sad heart, and walked to the gate of Qiao's family, where he saw the person his senior brother wanted to see most - Qiao Shizhong.
Qiao Shizhong stood in front of the vermilion gate. When he saw them, he smiled, as if he had been waiting for them here.
Zhao Shi and the others stopped cautiously, and Lin Yan asked, "Where is Master Wu Cheng?"
Qiao Shizhong sneered: "I led that bald donkey away, and now he is entangled by the other Qiao family's Void Refinement Stage cultivators, and he has no time to take care of himself."
Even though Wu Cheng's strength was strong, he was only in the initial stage of refining emptiness.
The Qiao family has more than one cultivator in the late stage of the Refined Void Realm.
Even if it is impossible to kill Wucheng, it should not be a problem to use the secret treasure to keep Wucheng from being killed for a while.
Chu Linfeng asked in confusion: "Since you have help, why don't you continue to fight Master Wucheng?"
The smile on Qiao Shizhong's face froze for a moment.
Lin Yan understood, and lowered his voice so that everyone could hear it: "He can't beat him."
"Shut up!" Qiao Shizhong shouted angrily, and the pressure of the Void Refinement Stage burst out, but it had no effect on Lin Yan and the others.
Not only was he unable to win, he was almost beaten to death by Wu Cheng!
Back when Wu Cheng was still in the Spirit Transformation Stage, he was extremely difficult to deal with. Even though he was in the Void Refinement Stage, he was unable to snatch the Moon Lemon Grass from Wu Cheng.
Later, Wu Cheng made a breakthrough in the battle and just as he reached the Refining Void Stage, he chased him and fought him.
If it weren't for the Qiao family's rich heritage, his family's emphasis on him, and the many life-saving treasures in his hands, he would have been almost beaten to death in the Moon Clan's secret realm by Wu Cheng's angry eyes.
After finally escaping back to the Qiao family, Wu Cheng actually chased after him.
But the other party happened to be a disciple of Chankong Temple, and he wanted to ask the ancestor to strangle him to death but failed.
Over the years, Wucheng has been guarding outside the door, while Qiao Shizhong has been hiding inside the door, first healing his wounds and then practicing. He was thinking that once his cultivation had reached a high level, he could find a chance to secretly destroy Wucheng.
However, the incident in the Moon Clan's secret realm where he was beaten by Wu Cheng left him with a psychological trauma, and this memory kept haunting him. Not only did Qiao Shizhong's cultivation not improve, it actually regressed a lot.
When he faced Wu Cheng before, he still had the strength to fight back.
Now facing Wu Cheng, Qiao Shizhong didn't even have the courage to fight him, and he was even scared to death when he tried to use the secret treasure to escape.
Qiao Shizhong never cared about family affairs. Today, when a distinguished guest came, Qiao Shang brought the elders of the family to discuss with Xing Shuyi about obtaining the secret treasure in the forbidden area, but he did not call him. He just reminded him to pay attention to the movements in the mansion and not lose his manners in front of the distinguished guest.
If not for this, Qiao Shizhong would not dare to appear in front of Wucheng.
Only a few senior members of the Qiao family knew about these things, and they were secretly trying to find ways to help Qiao Shizhong eliminate his inner demons.
But now it was exposed by Lin Yan in public, and Qiao Shizhong was so angry that his face turned blue.
Wu Xin recited a Buddhist verse to comfort Qiao Shizhong: "Donor Qiao, please calm down. Even if you have really been beaten by my brother, it doesn't matter. I have a way to eliminate your inner demons."
Qiao Shizhong didn't believe it, but he couldn't help but want to try it, and asked disdainfully: "What can you do?"
Wu Xin was extremely compassionate: "My senior brother has made a great vow not to kill you. Just let my senior brother cripple you and send you to the He Huan Sect to apologize, and your inner demon will disappear."
This can not only eliminate Qiao Shizhong's inner demons, but also eliminate him as a person.
"You little bald donkey are playing tricks on me!" Qiao Shizhong was furious and raised his hand to attack Wuxin. Suddenly, he saw a faint Buddha light flashing on Wuxin's body. He suddenly realized something and stopped immediately.
He almost forgot that this little bald donkey was also a disciple of Chankong Temple!
That flash of Buddha's light must be the secret treasure on the little bald donkey. If he really attacks, the secret treasure will fight back and he will either die or be injured!
What a vicious thought!
Qiao Shizhong glared at Wuxin fiercely. Not wanting to get entangled with the disciples of Chankong Temple any longer, he forcibly diverted his attention and said to Zhaoshi, "I'm here to make a deal with you."
Zhao Shi knew his purpose and said bluntly: "I didn't take the Qiao family's secret treasure."
Qiao Shizhong had not participated in the discussion between the Qiao family and Xing Shuyi just now, and did not know that Qiao Shang had already deduced the matter, so he just thought Zhao Shi was lying.
He sneered, "We are all descendants of the Qiao family, so the secret treasure will naturally belong to those who are destined to take it. Don't worry, I won't fight with you, I just want to borrow it."
Speaking of which, even though the Qiao family has been talking about the secret treasure for so long, everyone still doesn’t know what the secret treasure is used for.
Judging from Qiao Shizhong's tone, he seemed to know a lot about this thing.
Lin Yan asked: "Do you know what this secret treasure is?"
"Of course I know." Qiao Shizhong said as he looked at Zhao Shi, trying to find some information from his changing expression.
But at a glance, all he could see was an icy mask gleaming with faint starlight.
Qiao Shizhong was a little disappointed, but not discouraged.
Zhao Shi and the others were very powerful, far surpassing ordinary Jindan-stage cultivators. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were Yuanying-stage cultivators. It was possible that they had borrowed the power of that secret treasure.
Jiang Xiao was curious and pulled Zhao Shi's sleeve to ask, "Fourth Senior Brother, what's so powerful about the Qiao family's secret treasure?"
Zhao Shi didn't know that before Qiao Ye came to him, he didn't even know that the Qiao family had a secret treasure.
Jiang Xin in Chu Linfeng's arms yawned and woke up from her sleep in a daze.
Xiao Pang rubbed his eyes, and Jiang Xin said vaguely: "That secret treasure itself has great lethality, and it can also temporarily improve the user's cultivation to a higher level."
Everyone was shocked.
Qiao Shizhong was also surprised, and then he became more certain of his guess - the secret treasure must be in Zhaoshi's hands!
Otherwise, how could a little kid like Jiang Xin know the greatest function of this secret treasure?
After being exposed by Jiang Xin, Qiao Shizhong said: "In addition to being able to temporarily elevate a person to a higher realm, practicing with the help of this secret treasure can help increase the speed of practice."
He looked at Zhao Shi and said, "My deal is that you lend me this secret treasure and I will return it to you after I advance to the fusion stage. In exchange, I can tell you the news about your father."
Jiang Xin blurted out: "But you can't advance to the fusion stage."
Qiao Shizhong's face turned pale: "Don't talk nonsense if you are a kid!"
Jiang Xin pouted in grievance.
[That's right. You look so dead. You will definitely be crippled by Master Wucheng and sent to the Hehuan Sect to apologize. 】
[The Hehuan Sect is protective of its people and will definitely not let you go.] You're going to burst. 】
[You are so shameless that you want to steal my fourth senior brother’s secret treasure. 】
Tsk, it turns out to be a dead person talking.
Jiang Xin's thoughts were not wrong, and everyone no longer took Qiao Shizhong to heart.
Compared to him, they cared more about Xing Shuyi's appearance.
Lin Yan whispered, "Xing Shuyi wants that secret treasure, does she also want to help me practice?"
Jiang Xin shook her head: "Practicing is so tiring, she probably wants to get it for free. That secret treasure can raise a person's cultivation to the Tribulation Crossing Stage at most."
The tribulation period! ! !
Hearing these three words, everyone's heart perked up.
If they could get this secret treasure, wouldn't they be able to advance to the Tribulation Period?
