Chapter 131: Danqing Jade Scroll, Frightened Away and the Reason
"Who is so bold as to question two Xiantian Realm beings?"
The warriors, who were having difficulty breathing and almost lying down due to the pressure from the aura of the two innate realm masters, were stunned when they heard this.
Then they saw a figure appear and walk slowly into the gate of Wei Mansion.
He was a young man wearing cloth and had an ordinary appearance.
In his hand, he was holding a jade scroll.
The jade scroll emitted a hazy white light that enveloped the young man in cloth, allowing him to move freely and unhindered under the pressure of the two innate realm masters.
Such a strange scene not only shocked the warriors.
Even Wang Cangyi and Wei Shanhai, two powerful Xiantian realm masters, couldn't help but stare.
"You two, the Holy Mountain once had a ban that Xiantian Realm warriors are not allowed to use force against humans below the Xiantian level without reason, and are not allowed to randomly engage in Xiantian-level battles in crowded cities. Do you want to violate this ban?"
Facing the gazes of the two innate powerful men, the young man in plain clothes remained expressionless, but his tone gradually became serious.
"Red Book and Jade Scroll, are you from the Tianji Tower?"
Wang Cangyi stared at the jade scroll in the hands of the young man in plain clothes with a serious expression.
"Zhirui from Tianji Tower, greetings to the two Xiantian Realm masters."
The young man in plain clothes bowed slightly, saluted, and spoke calmly.
Hearing the young man in plain clothes admit it, Wang Cangyi was shocked.
He stared at the young man in cloth quietly for a while, then slowly dispersed the sword energy condensed in his palm.
Although he didn't know the truth of the other party's identity, he had heard of the magical power of the Danshu Yujuan.
Only people from Tianji Tower can activate this mysterious jade scroll.
Even Wei Shanhai put away his sword.
However, unlike Wang Cangyi, he felt quietly relieved.
He knew that since people from Tianji Tower appeared here, today's battle might not be able to start for the time being.
Wang Cangyi keenly noticed the slight fluctuation in Wei Shanhai's mind.
How could he not know that the other party's injuries had not yet healed and he was just bluffing.
In an instant, Wang Cangyi's face turned gloomy.
He looked at the young man in plain clothes and asked, "It is said that Tianji Tower never participates in the struggles between the various forces in the world. Why, Lord Zhirui wants to break this position?"
"The position of Tianji Tower has never changed. Senior Wang, there is no need to question it." The young man in plain clothes said, "The fight between you and Senior Wei is not something that Tianji Tower is interested in interfering in. But if the two of you insist on starting a war in the city, what should be the consequences?"
Wang Cangyi's face suddenly became uncertain.
If the young man in commoner clothes was not here, he would have killed Wei Shanhai, destroyed the Wei family, seized the treasure, and then escaped.
After that, even if the Holy Mountain investigated, he would have a way to defend himself and minimize his responsibility.
But now that the young man in commoner clothes was here, he did not dare to act rashly.
According to rumors, the Danshu Yujuan in Tianji Tower has a magical function.
The content written on it can be transmitted to the headquarters of Tianji Tower in an instant, which is extremely magical.
With the young man in commoner clothes around, even if he massacred everyone in the city to silence them, I'm afraid he wouldn't be able to prevent the news from leaking out.
"Wei Shanhai, do you have the guts to fight me outside the city?"
Wang Cangyi was silent for a while with a gloomy face, and suddenly, he shouted to the ancestor of the Wei family.
"Hahahaha, Wang Cangyi, don't worry. I've been traveling for several days and I'm a little tired. After I recuperate for a few days, I will come to your house in person to take the dog head from your neck!"
However, looking at the cheerful and heroic Wei Shanhai, he just laughed and did not respond to the challenge at all.
"You!" Wang Cang was furious. "You cowardly old thief, you don't even have the heart to fight. You are simply disgracing the word Xiantian realm!"
"No match for you, a despicable villain who only knows how to attack from behind and do sneaky things." Wei Shanhai said sarcastically.
"you……"
Wang Cangyi's chest heaved violently. He knew that Wei Shanhai had made up his mind to hide in the city like a coward.
But he had no way to deal with the other party.
If he insisted on starting a war, he would have to kill Wei Shanhai instantly.
Otherwise, no matter what the final outcome of the battle is, as long as other casualties are caused during the fight, he will not be able to escape the responsibility of the Holy Mountain.
Wang Cangyi's heart trembled when he thought of the guilt he would have to bear for starting the Xiantian War in the city.
He didn't want to be imprisoned on the holy mountain for the rest of his life, living in fear.
After weighing it for a while, he realized that even if Wei Shanhai had not recovered from his injuries, he could not kill him instantly.
Wang Cangyi had no choice but to grit his teeth and stare at Wei Shanhai, his face grimly saying:
"You old man, just wait. I will never give up until I get that thing. You'd better never leave the city and be a coward here forever. Otherwise, the day you leave this county will be the day you die!"
After that, there was a sound of air explosion, and the figure disappeared over the roof.
“Master!”
Seeing Wang Cang leave as soon as he said he would, the burly man and others were shocked.
"Get out of here now!"
Wei Shanhai did not make things difficult for these people. He lowered his voice, let out a low roar, and a powerful aura burst out.
The burly man and others didn't dare to say anything more. They rushed out of Wei's mansion as if they had been pardoned.
Those who ran slowly would kick the person behind them, causing them to crawl away.
After all the people from the Tiancang Sect had left, Wei Shanhai said to the bottom of a roof, "Sir, please come out."
Is there anyone hiding up there?
Everyone in the Wei family looked over there.
Under the gazes of many people, a figure emerged from under the eaves, jumped to the ground, and stood there elegantly.
"Meet Senior Wei."
The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes first bowed to Wei Shanhai, and then said to the young man in plain clothes:
"Zhirui, luckily you came in time, otherwise you might never see me again."
Seeing this figure, everyone in the Wei family was stunned.
No one thought that the county magistrate was hiding in that place.
The young man in plain clothes had not expected that his good friend was hiding in that place.
He, who was usually calm, was a little stunned at this moment.
Seeing his friend still not caring, he couldn't help but sigh, "You, if you don't change your nature of loving to watch the fun, I won't be surprised when I hear the news of your death one day."
"Zhirui, this is a bit unfair of you. We are good friends, why do you want to curse me to death?"
Just as the two were arguing, Wei Shanhai also landed on the ground and bowed to the young man in plain clothes.
"Thank you, Lord Zhirui, for saving the lives of my entire Wei family."
The young man in plain clothes' expression returned to its calm look.
He said calmly: "Senior Wei, please don't misunderstand me. The reason I am here is that I don't want to see anyone violate the Holy Mountain's prohibition, not to help your Wei family out."
"No matter what, the appearance of Mr. Zhirui has indeed saved our Wei family. I, Wei Shanhai, will never forget this kindness."
The young man in plain clothes shook his head, said nothing more, and walked out slowly.
"Zhirui, why are you in such a hurry? Wait for me, let's go have a drink together!"
The middle-aged man with phoenix eyes bowed to Wei Shanhai and rushed over while shouting.
Wei Shanhai watched the two leave the Wei Mansion without trying to keep them.
"Ancestor!"
After all the outsiders left, Wei Xinghe, holding his chest, led his tribesmen and walked up excitedly.
"Xinghe, the situation was urgent just now and you didn't have time to completely block Wang Cangyi's sword energy, so you were injured. Is it okay?" Wei Shanhai asked.
"It's okay. Who could have thought that a Xiantian realm master would launch a sneak attack on a junior like me? Fortunately, you arrived in time." Wei Xinghe shook his head.
"Hmph, Wang Cang has always been despicable and shameless, so why would he care about his face?" Wei Shanhai snorted coldly.
"Grandfather, why don't you keep Mr. Zhirui? He saved our Wei family. Isn't it impolite to let him leave like this?" Wei Xinghe asked.
Wei Shanhai shook his head: "It's not that I don't want to keep him, but his identity is special and he has never been close to other forces. Keeping him would only make things difficult for him."
Wei Xinghe wanted to ask more, but Wei Shanhai waved his hand and said, "Let's go inside and talk. Let someone clean up the yard first."
Wei Xinghe had no choice but to shut up temporarily until they got to the house where only he, the chief steward and the old ancestor were present.
Then he continued to ask: "Grandfather, when did you come back?"
"I have been back for several days, but I have not entered the city because I know that Wang Cangyi must be waiting for me in the dark."
"Grandfather, who are these people? And what grudge does Wang Cangyi have against you?"
This is the question that has been bothering Wei Xinghe for some time.
Treasures like these in the house have always been kept secret, and even few people in the clan know about them.
Why does this mysterious force know this?
"Those who attacked our Wei family are basically from a sect in the northern border called Tiancang Sect. Wang Cangyi is the second elder of this sect."
"As for the hatred between him and me..."
Wei Shanhai sighed and said, "He and I used to be good friends."
"Friends? Then how..."
Wei Xinghe and Wei Dazongguan were both shocked.
"That was a hundred years ago..."
As Wei Shanhai told the story, Wei Xinghe and his friend gradually understood what was going on.
It turns out that a hundred years ago, Wei Shanhai was still a young man in his prime and full of vigor and vitality.
At that time, he had made great progress in martial arts training. At a young age, he was already a martial arts expert with perfect muscles and bones. He could be said to be a rare martial arts genius in the Wei family in a hundred years.
In order to find an opportunity to break through to the internal organs realm, and also to gain knowledge.
When Wei Shanhai was 20 years old, he decided to travel around the world and meet the heroes of the world.
During his travels, he met a young man about his age, who was Wang Cangyi.
Wang Cangyi came from a large sect, had extraordinary strength and was knowledgeable.
No matter in terms of strength or knowledge, he is much better than Wei Shanhai, who came from the Wei family, which was a small family at that time.
The two hit it off immediately, and Wei Shanhai was even more impressed by Wang Cangyi's demeanor.
Eventually, the two became sworn brothers.
After becoming sworn brothers, the two of them traveled the world together, experienced a lot, and saw a lot.
But it was also during his travels that Wei Shanhai gradually discovered that Wang Cangyi was not as great and bright as he appeared to be.
In fact, he does not have a broad mind. Sometimes he would even deliberately make things difficult for small people for trivial matters.
He is vindictive and has a strong desire for revenge.
Once someone offended him, even if it was an unintentional offense, he would kill the person to vent his anger.
If Wei Shanhai had not often dissuaded him, he would have wanted to vent his anger on other people's families and wipe out the entire clan many times.
In this way, during the journey, the two people's philosophies on doing things began to diverge and they often quarreled.
But at that time, Wei Shanhai still regarded Wang Cangyi as a brother in his heart.
I think that although his actions are a bit extreme, he is still a decent person.
What really caused their breakup was a time when the two of them went to explore a secret place.
In that mysterious place, they accidentally cracked a cave and gained a great opportunity.
As a result, disagreements arose when dividing the treasure.
Wang Cangyi believed that he had contributed more to the process of cracking the cave, and should get 90% of the treasures.
Wei Shanhai felt that since they were brothers, they shouldn't care so much.
Although he did not put in that much effort, he was able to block the fatal mechanism for Wang Cangyi when he entered the cave.
According to this calculation, even if he can't get half, he shouldn't get only 10%.
The two had another fierce quarrel and almost came to blows.
In the end, Wei Shanhai took a step back. He was willing to take only 10% of the treasures, but there was a condition, which was that he had to choose the things first.
Unexpectedly, Wang Cangyi disagreed with even this request, and was only willing to let each person take turns to choose a treasure.
At this point, Wei Shanhai was completely disappointed with Wang Cangyi.
You know, the treasures they obtained were quite magical. With their strength at that time, they couldn't tell which treasure was the best.
Even if he was allowed to choose, he would not be able to take away the most precious treasures first.
Unexpectedly, Wang Cang was unwilling to even take this loss.
After seeing through Wang Cangyi's character thoroughly, Wei Shanhai also let it go. He randomly picked up a few treasures, and after the two of them came out of the cave, he and Wang Cangyi severed their ties, parted ways, and never had any contact with each other again.
“Now that I think about it, if I hadn’t made a breakthrough in my realm when we were traveling, making our strengths almost the same and neither of us sure of winning, I’m afraid Wang Cangyi would have wanted to kill me at that time.”
Wei Shanhai sighed.
"Ancestor, according to what you said, the treasure you got at the beginning was..." Wei Xinghe asked tentatively.
"Yes, one of the treasures I got is the one hidden in our Wei family's secret vault." Wei Shanhai nodded, "and it is the most precious treasure among the treasures harvested from that secret place."
"The most precious one?"
"Well, I didn't expect that I would just pick the most precious treasure at that time."
"Wang Cang never expected that my luck would be so good that I could choose the most precious thing right away. Perhaps this is what is called God's will."
"I don't know if he was pissed off to death in the days that followed."
A sarcastic smile appeared on Wei Shanhai's face.
Wei Xinghe and Wei Da Zongguan put themselves in Wang Cangyi's shoes and thought about it. They felt that with Wang Cangyi's temperament, he would probably be very angry.
"So, Wang Cangyi came to our Wei family this time just to get that treasure. Then why did you, old ancestor, fall into his ambush?" Wei Xinghe asked.
"Come to think of it, it's all my fault for being too careless." Wei Shanhai sighed.
"After Wang Cang and I broke up, we never met again. Not long ago, he wrote to me, saying that we hadn't seen each other for many years and invited me to get together."
"I thought to myself that it had been so many years since the incident. We were young and hot-tempered back then, so we argued so fiercely. Now that a hundred years have passed, there is nothing left to be seen through, so I went to keep the appointment."
"I didn't expect that after we met, Wang Cangyi pretended to talk to me about his travels when he was young, and took advantage of my relaxed state to attack me. I was injured badly due to my carelessness, and I could only find a loophole to escape."
"What about your current injury, ancestor?" Wei Xinghe asked hurriedly.
"I haven't recovered from my injuries yet. I can only exert 30% of my full strength at most." Wei Shanhai said calmly.
Upon hearing this, Wei Xinghe and Wei Da Zongguan were suddenly shocked.
Just when they wanted to ask in detail, they heard Wei Shanhai ask, "By the way, I've been back for so long, why haven't Ning Yan and An Er come out? Where are they?"
The perception of the innate realm is extraordinary. Wei Shanhai then discovered that there was no trace of Li Ningyan and Wei Zian in the mansion.
