190 Is the ancestor of your Qiao family an evil cultivator?
Qiao Shizhong, who was ignored by everyone, stood nearby and witnessed everything, and was shocked.
But what shocked him was not Jiang Xin’s words, but Wu Xin’s speed of promotion.
Even if it is just a small advancement to the Jindan stage, the cultivator usually needs to polish it carefully before he can make the breakthrough.
Wuxin's promotion was as smooth as a natural progression.
Moreover, the promotion speed is extremely fast, unlike ordinary cultivators who need to train for several days before they can make the final breakthrough.
Even if the promotion obtained through sudden enlightenment is smoother than that obtained through following a routine procedure, it is still not as smooth as the one obtained through enlightenment.
Seeing that Lin Yan and the others didn't show any surprise, Qiao Shizhong realized that they might have been accustomed to this for a long time.
For the first time, he deeply realized the gap between himself and the disciples of the Immortal Sect.
The Taoist heart that was on the verge of being broken by Wu Cheng's attack was now truly torn apart.
As for what Jiang Xin said, Qiao Shizhong didn't understand her strength and just thought it was childish nonsense.
It is so terrifying that Wu Xin can understand the true meaning of cultivation from the nonsense of a child and advance accordingly.
Qiao Shizhong's Taoist heart was broken even more.
He held his broken glass heart tightly, pretending to be calm and mocking: "Since you are so noble and so great, why do you still hold the secret treasure? Why not give it to me?"
"My fourth senior brother said he didn't take it. How come you don't understand what he said?" Jiang Xin asked dissatisfiedly.
Qiao Shizhong sneered: "Stop pretending. Without the help of the secret treasure, how could your strength be far beyond that of an ordinary Jindan stage?"
Chu Linfeng asked sincerely: "Is it because you guys are so incompetent that you think we are awesome?"
When he was looking for people to spar with in the sect, he was beaten by his senior brothers and sisters every day.
Qiao Shizhong ignored him and just stared at Zhao Shi.
There is suspected to be a big man in the Tribulation Crossing Stage behind Xing Shuyi. Even she said that only Zhao Shi could get the secret treasure, so this thing must be in his hands.
Zhaoshi was tired of saying the word "didn't take it".
Since Qiao Shizhong didn't understand what he was saying, Zhao Shi didn't waste any more words and skipped over this part to ask Qiao Shizhong other questions: "Qiao Ye once said that the Qiao family's ancestor had ordered that the children of the family were not allowed to enter the forbidden area to touch the secret treasure. He also didn't know what the secret treasure was or what it did. Why do you know all this?"
Qiao Shizhong sneered: "What can Qiao Ye know? Our ancestors did have such ancestral teachings, but they also had other instructions that only a few people knew about."
Seeing that Zhaoshi and the others were interested in this, Qiao Shizhong was very proud. "Our ancestors once said that the best disciples in the clan can enter the forbidden area to explore after they have cultivated to the Void Refining Stage. The Qiao family members are competing fairly, and the treasure will be obtained by those who are destined to get it."
"So did you see the secret treasure when you entered the forbidden area?" Chu Linfeng asked.
Qiao Shizhong's face was not very good. He hesitated for a moment and told them the truth: "The characteristics of the secret treasure were told by our ancestors before they died. We have not found any information. Everyone who entered the forbidden area died."
The first ones to enter were the descendants of the Qiao family, and no one was spared.
Later, the Qiao family recruited cultivators from other families in the Nascent Soul stage to join the family, but they all died.
Over the years, there have been some cultivators in the Nascent Soul stage of the Qiao family who refused to believe in evil and entered the forbidden area to find out what was going on, but they all died there in the end.
Even though he had made all the necessary preparations before entering, he was unable to escape or send out any information.
It was precisely because these high-level monks were dead that the Qiao family did the opposite and set their sights on Zhaoshi, a six-year-old child.
This child is highly talented and has the blood of the Qiao family. The Qiao family hates him to disappear, so he is the best choice to be sent to the forbidden area for experiments.
It turned out that they made the right bet, but the process of winning was different from what they imagined.
"Using such a harmful magical weapon as a family heirloom, your Qiao family's ancestor is an evil cultivator, right?" Jiang Xiao asked sincerely.
An unnatural look flashed across Qiao Shizhong's face, and he said stubbornly, "The times our ancestors lived in were dangerous, so it's not surprising that they had a few magical tools for self-defense."
“No matter how dangerous the environment is, such a magical weapon is still a means of evil cultivation.” Chu Linfeng sneered and turned to leave.
As a young man from an aristocratic family, Chu Linfeng was well aware of the background of these families.
The Qiao family tried their best but failed to get the secret treasure out of the forbidden area, which means that the Qiao family's forbidden area is the best place to seal the secret treasure.
Even if the secret treasure needs to be sealed in a safer place, it will not be the turn of these young people in the Jindan stage.
Go back and write a letter to the sect, asking the brothers and sisters or elders in the Nascent Soul Stage or even the Fusion Stage to come and handle it.
As everyone tried to leave, Qiao Shizhong's face turned cold: "I said all the nice things to you, but you really don't appreciate it?"
Jiang Xin dug his ears and asked provocatively: "I didn't hear a single good word, I just saw you trying to force my fourth brother to take out the secret treasure he doesn't have."
"Qiao Xu, you really don't want to give me this face." Qiao Shizhong stared at Zhao Shi and asked.
Zhao Shi said indifferently: "I told you, I didn't take it."
Qiao Shizhong gritted his teeth: "Don't you want to know who your father is?"
Zhao Shi’s tone became even colder: “Not interested.”
It was Qiao Yuan who raised him alone, and he had nothing to do with his father.
He doesn't care who his father is, because he doesn't have such a person anyway.
When he was six years old, the Qiao family said they would take him to find his father. Zhao Shi believed it and was sent to a forbidden area.
The reason why Zhaoshi wanted to find him at that time was simply because Qiao Yuan was harmed to this extent by him. Zhaoshi was dissatisfied and wanted to find him to seek justice for his mother.
Now that Qiao Yuan is dead, even if Zhao Shi can find his biological father, he will not let him go easily.
Seeing that they were determined to leave, Qiao Shizhong could no longer suppress the pent-up anger in his heart.
He was not a good-tempered person to begin with, but he had been patiently talking to them until now. One reason was that he took into consideration that Zhao Shi and the others were disciples of the immortal sect, and he did not want to make enemies with the Tianshui Sect or the Chankong Temple.
Secondly, he knew clearly that the secret treasure, in addition to being able to temporarily improve the cultivation level of the user, was also extremely lethal and could very likely seriously injure him, a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage.
"You are shameless even though I gave you a chance! Then don't blame me for being ruthless!" Qiao Shizhong took out a bronze key with an ancient style and injected spiritual power into it.
The bronze key immediately emitted a dark light, and a force so huge that it was difficult to distinguish the realm rushed towards Zhao Shi and others, like a tsunami or the scream of a ghost.
Everyone was in a state of shock, and they all used their sect's secret treasures to protect themselves.
However, this force did not fall directly on them, but passed through them, forming a force behind them and creating a strange space.
Endless darkness surged in this space. It was dead silent and nothing could be seen except darkness.
A familiar breath swept over Zhao Shi, and before he could figure out where this familiar feeling came from, a strong sense of uneasiness surged in his heart.
He pulled Jiang Xiao, who was closest to him, and rushed forward: "Get out of here!"
He spoke out to remind everyone, but it was too late.
The darkness behind them spread rapidly, like the surging sea, rolling up huge waves that swallowed them up.
In the blink of an eye, Zhao Shi and others disappeared from the spacious courtyard.
And the darkness quickly disappeared after swallowing them, as if it had never appeared.
Qiao Shizhong sneered and put away the bronze key in his hand.
The entire Qiao family mansion is built on the Qiao family forbidden area. As long as you have this bronze key, you can open the entrance to the forbidden area at any time and drag people in.
Qiao Xu, Qiao Xu, since you insist that you didn’t take the secret treasure, then go to the forbidden area and take it out!
