Chapter 104: Conversation between the Strong, Innate Prohibition
"Wei Xinghe, the half-month deadline you were given has come. What do you think? Do you want to surrender, or do you want to hold on to that treasure and let your entire Wei family be buried with it?"
The sound was like rumbling thunder, with a powerful aura. One could tell at the first listen that it could only be made by a true top-level martial arts expert.
The expressions of the Wei family's Patriarch and the chief steward changed.
Wei Xinghe is the name of the head of the Wei family.
The head of the Wei family took a breath and said in a clear voice: "Stop talking nonsense. If you are really confident, then come over. If you want to seize the property of our Wei family, it depends on whether you have the ability to do so!"
The response from the Wei family patriarch was equally powerful, no weaker than that of the man outside.
He is also an extremely powerful martial arts expert.
"Haha, Wei Xinghe, you are really stubborn. Aren't you afraid that we will kill everyone in your Wei family?" the voice continued.
"Since you are so confident, why not come in and give it a try!" said the head of the Wei family without showing any weakness.
The voice was silent for a moment, as if it did not expect that Wei Xinghe's attitude would still be so tough at this point.
At this moment, the whole place was silent, and no one dared to participate in the conversation between the two top martial arts masters.
After a while, the voice continued: "Wei Xinghe, you are just still wishful thinking that your Wei family's ancestor is still alive.
To tell you the truth, the ancestor of your Wei family has had his heart meridians infected by the innate sword energy of that adult, so there is no way he can survive. If you are smart, you should surrender and hand over the treasure, so that your Wei family can still have a chance to survive.
Otherwise, be careful that the Wei family will be extinct from now on!"
However, the head of the Wei family was not moved at all.
He said calmly, "In a word, do you want to fight or not? If not, shut up! You are just a coward, hiding your head and showing your tail, not even daring to reveal your true identity, and you still want to make my Wei family surrender with just a few words?"
The voice paused. He couldn't imagine that Wei Xinghe was so stubborn and not afraid of any threats.
Hearing the contempt in the other party's tone, he felt angry and really wanted to fight Wei Xinghe regardless of the consequences.
As a master-level warrior with perfect internal organs, how could he be a person without temper?
However, thinking of what that adult said, he suppressed his anger.
He sneered and said, "Wei Xinghe, just keep holding on. The reason you can be so tough is simply because you sent your wife and children out of the city, so you don't have to worry about anything. But do you think they can really escape to the provincial capital smoothly?"
Hearing this, the Patriarch of the Wei family could no longer keep his composure on his face.
His face changed drastically, and he shouted angrily: "You are a master-level warrior, and a well-known figure, but you even make things difficult for women and children. Don't you think it is too beneath your status?"
"Hahaha..." the voice laughed wildly, "Didn't you just say I was a coward? Now I've become a big shot again? Wei Xinghe, guess, by this time tomorrow, will I be able to see the heads of your wife and children placed at the gate of your Wei Mansion?"
After that, the voice gradually weakened, but no more sound came out.
"Wait a minute!" the head of the Wei family said anxiously.
But the voice never came again. He didn't know whether the person didn't want to pay attention to him anymore or had left.
Only the head of the Wei family was left, shouting in vain.
"Master, what should we do now?" The chief steward beside him also looked anxious and puzzled. "The tunnel in the mansion is dug very deep and the exit is very secret. How could they find it?"
"There are only two reasons. The first is that there is an insider in the mansion, and An'er and the others' whereabouts have been leaked."
The Patriarch of the Wei family took a deep breath, forced himself to calm down, and thought.
"This is impossible! I personally arranged for the madam and the young master to leave. Those who protect them are the most loyal guards in the mansion. They will never betray our Wei family!" said the chief steward firmly.
"That leaves only one other reason."
The head of the Wei family showed mixed emotions on his face.
"We all underestimated the ability of the Xiantian Realm. We thought that we could hide it from the other party with the help of the tunnel, but we never thought that perhaps our arrangement could not escape the other party's eyes and ears from the beginning."
The chief steward was silent.
If that's the case, then they really have no solution.
The innate realm has always been mysterious and unpredictable, and its methods are even more magical, far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.
Even they are not very clear about what kind of abilities the innate realm beings have.
Their ancestors would never show them these.
"What about the madam and the young master? Have they really fallen into their hands?" asked the chief steward.
"It shouldn't be, otherwise, that person would have used An'er and the others to threaten us a long time ago. Now they just said a few harsh words. It's obvious that they should have only noticed An'er and the others' whereabouts, but haven't caught them yet."
The head of the Wei family is not an ordinary person after all. Although he was distracted by the words of the mysterious man just now, he quickly calmed down and discovered something strange.
"Then sir, would you like me to go and support Madam and the others?" the chief steward asked hurriedly.
"No, the mansion cannot do without you. The Silver Moon Battle Formation must be led by you to exert its greatest power. If you leave, the combat power will be reduced by at least half." The head of the Wei family said decisively, "Perhaps, this is the reason why that person just now deliberately told us the news about An'er and the others. They just want to transfer you away!"
"But Madam and the others..."
"It all depends on their luck!" The Wei family patriarch sighed, "As a member of the Wei family, we should be ready to sacrifice for the family at any time. If they really can't escape, then that's fate."
The chief steward remained silent.
He actually didn't quite understand why the master was determined to defend the ancestral home and would rather fight to the death than retreat.
But as a member of the Wei family, all his martial arts honors were given by the Wei family. Since the head of the family has given the order, he will of course obey it until death.
"Master, perhaps the situation is not that bad. The guard Pang Zhan who is escorting Madam is also a strong man in the Inner Viscera Realm. With his leadership and the Silver Moon Guards together, we can form a Silver Moon Battle Formation. Even if we encounter a strong man in the Inner Viscera Realm, we can stop him.
The king has issued an order that those in the Xiantian realm are not allowed to attack those below the Xiantian realm at will. As long as the Xiantian realm on the opposite side does not attack, perhaps Madam and the others still have a chance to escape."
After a long silence, the chief steward spoke to comfort him.
"This is all we can hope for now." The Wei family patriarch sighed.
But he also knew that this hope was probably very slim.
Although the Silver Moon Battle Formation is powerful, the other side also has a large number of people and many strong men.
The mysterious person who had just talked to him was not something Pang Zhan and his team could deal with.
Now he could only pray that the people chasing An'er and the others did not have people with great internal organs or above. Otherwise, he really couldn't imagine what kind of choice he would have to make at that time.
The head of the Wei family spent a difficult night in the agonizing wait.
The next day, at the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief when there was nothing unusual outside the mansion.
Knowing the other party, I'm afraid they haven't caught An'er and the others yet.
Otherwise, with the arrogance of the mysterious strong man yesterday, how could he miss such an opportunity to show off his power.
Another day passed, and there was still no movement outside the mansion. The head of the Wei family had already put his mind at ease.
Knowing that his wife, children and others had escaped, he was afraid that they had really escaped.
Even the chief steward breathed a sigh of relief.
The lady had been very kind to him, and now that he knew that she and the young master should be safe, his heart was finally at ease.
The forces in the county have been keeping a close eye on the movements of the Wei Mansion over the past two days.
The conversation between the Patriarch of the Wei family and the mysterious powerful man two days ago resounded throughout the city.
Everyone knew that someone was hunting down the wife and young master of the Wei Mansion.
Everyone was wondering whether they would see the figures or corpses of Madam Wei and the young master when they woke up early in the morning in the next two days.
Unexpectedly, two days passed and there was no movement at all.
Even the mysterious strong man that day never appeared again.
Could it be that Madam Wei and the young master actually escaped?
Everyone couldn't help but have this thought.
"Zhirui, tell me, did the Madam and the Young Master of the Wei Mansion escape successfully, or have they been caught?"
In the county lord's mansion, a handsome middle-aged man with phoenix eyes was sitting at the chess table, twisting a chess piece in his hand, and asked the person sitting opposite him.
"You, as the lord of a county, don't know, so how can I know?"
Opposite the middle-aged man in Danfeng Eyes, a man in cloth said lightly.
"You are being too modest. Everyone knows that the intelligence of your Tianji Tower is unparalleled in the world. Nothing in the world can be hidden from your eyes and ears. In comparison, what is a small county lord like me?"
The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes placed the chess piece somewhere on the chessboard and said with a smile.
"Although my Tianji Tower has a lot of intelligence, we never interfere in the struggles between families and sects in the world, so you don't need to inquire about information from me."
The man in plain clothes still looked calm and made the same move.
"If you're not interfering, then why are you here now?"
The middle-aged man in Danfeng Eyes looked indifferent. He stopped playing chess and looked at the man in plain clothes and asked.
"Don't worry, the reason I came here has nothing to do with you, and I'm not interested in your affairs."
The plain-clothed man's expression remained unchanged.
"Oh, so what is your purpose here?"
Hearing the other party's words, the middle-aged man with phoenix eyes felt a little relieved and a smile returned to his face.
He knew that the person in front of him never liked to tell lies. Since he said it had nothing to do with him, then it must have nothing to do with him.
"I came here just to confirm one thing." said the man in plain clothes.
"The Holy Mountain once issued a ban that all warriors in the world, as long as they are above the Xiantian level, are not allowed to attack warriors below the Xiantian level without reason, and they are not allowed to fight in crowded places, causing unprovoked killings."
"I came here to see if anyone dares to defy this ban."
The expression of the middle-aged man in Danfeng Eyes became solemn.
The ban mentioned by the commoner man is not known to the world.
The only ones who knew about this ban were the truly wealthy families and those large sects hidden from the world.
But this does not mean that the ban is not important.
On the contrary, everyone who knows about this ban knows how terrifying the force that enacted this ban is.
It is a mysterious place that all forces in the world need to respect.
"So, the unrest in the county this time was really driven by a certain Xiantian Realm master?"
The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes asked tentatively.
"Yan Canghai, you don't have to play dumb here." The cloth-clothed man said calmly, "There's no need to pretend to be ignorant of such an obvious thing and insult our intelligence."
"Haha, I am not sure. After all, the traces of the Xiantian realm are not something that we, who are just in the Houtian realm, can spy on."
The middle-aged man in Danfeng's eyes was not angry, but curious.
"Zhirui, tell me, who wants to kill the ancestor of the Wei family? And what treasures are hidden in the Wei Mansion that would make a Xiantian realm master lower his status and bully the younger generation?"
"You are slandering others here, aren't you afraid that others will hear it?" The man in plain clothes glanced at him.
The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes stiffened for a moment, then relaxed again.
He pretended to be indifferent and said, "With you here, what do I have to be afraid of? Can that great innate being still bother with a small person like me?"
The words sounded light, but he didn't dare to ask any further.
"You should change your curious nature. If you were not so curious in the beginning, you would not have been demoted to this remote place and become a small county magistrate."
The man in plain clothes picked up another chess piece and placed it on the board.
"Hehe." The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes laughed awkwardly and dared not say anything else.
If it weren't for the help of his good friend, he might not even be the county magistrate he is now.
However, his friend's words also put him at ease.
It would be a lie to say he isn't under a lot of pressure these days.
Suddenly so many warriors poured into the city, some of them were even stronger than him.
If these people really started a fight in the city, there is no telling how many civilian casualties would be caused.
At that time, as the county magistrate, he would not be able to escape his responsibilities.
Now that we have friends here, we can’t tell whether we can stop this war.
But at least we can testify for him that it is not that he did nothing, but that he was really powerless.
The schemes of the innate realm could not be blocked by his small inner realm.
The two played chess quietly for a while.
Suddenly, the middle-aged man in the phoenix eyes couldn't help but ask: "Zhirui, then tell me one more thing, is the innate ancestor of the Wei family dead or not?"
The man in plain clothes looked up and looked at him quietly.
Although his gaze was not hostile, the middle-aged man in the phoenix eyes felt a chill rising from his heart.
He quickly waved his hands and said, "I won't ask anymore. I really won't ask anymore!"
The man in plain clothes looked at him for a while, and the middle-aged man with phoenix eyes was frightened.
Then he suddenly said, "There is one thing I can tell you."
"What's the matter?" the middle-aged man with phoenix eyes asked hurriedly.
"The lady and son of the Wei family have not been caught yet."
