Chapter 326 The efficiency of the wall breaker and the foundation of the Xia family!
There must be secrets in the Eight Guardian Cinders.
Xia Lin had previously felt that the strength level of this Ashes Zone did not match the evaluation of its racial heritage.
And since the Cinder Zone system said that this Cinder Zone is related to the Fraud Evil God, then this Cinder Zone must have traces of the Fraud Evil God! There is a secret that is exposed - that is, the secret guarded by the Eight Guardian Sword Clan as required by the main quest.
This secret is called: World Barrier! [Main Quest: The Mystery of Eight Guardians, Phase 1 Objective Completed!]
An unexpected result leads to a great harvest.
Xia Lin was not in a hurry to complete the main task, as his mind was full of the identity task. However, when Zhong Ying and Zhong Qiming sent him warmth, Xia Lin did not refuse and directly completed the first stage of the main task.
[Main quest: The mystery of the Eight Guardians, the second stage goal has been triggered! ]
[You already know that the purpose of the Eight Sword Clan's existence is to protect the world barrier, and there are deeper secrets hidden in the world barrier.]
[Second stage goal: Use any method to contact and open the world barrier! ]
[Penalty for mission failure: Permanent stay in the Cinders.]
[Task Success Reward: Activate the third stage of the main mission. ]
Xia Lin took a deep breath and quickly sorted out the information in his mind.
Xia Lin learned a lot from Zhong Ying's mind.
…
As Zhong Qiming's niece, subordinate, and middle-level member of their organization, Zhong Ying's mind may even contain more knowledge than the patriarchs of other families in the Yashou Sword Clan.
This is not an exaggeration because it involves organizational structural issues.
The organization that Zhong Ying belongs to is relatively open and enlightened, and cannot be compared to the old-fashioned organizations like the Yasugano Clan... As a result, the information within the organization is relatively transparent, and members above the middle level have a considerable degree of understanding of the dark side of this world.
And now, Xia Lin knows all this information.
First up is the Yasugano clan.
The martial arts circulating in the outside world are generally rough, not very effective, and the training speed is slow. Only the secret teachings of the Eight Guardian Sword Clan can be regarded as superior martial arts.
And these superior martial arts were not actually created by the ancestors of the Eight Sword Clan, but were gifted by outsiders! According to ancient legend, thousands of years ago, when the human race in this world was still in the slash-and-burn era, eight warriors fell into a dark ravine by chance.
What happened in the process is unknown. All we know is that when these eight people reappeared several years later, they had achieved extraordinary skills and established the Eight Sword Guardians Clan.
Because this happened so long ago, it is no longer possible to verify it.
But the process is not important, the result is important.
This legend defines the secret martial arts of the Yamori Sword Clan.
The martial arts of the Eight Sword Clan are foreign! As time goes by, with their absolute power advantage, the Eight Sword Clan has actually controlled the entire world.
Then, there is the world barrier.
Whether the essence of the world barrier is a barrier or not, whether it is a solid wall, Zhong Ying doesn’t know - Zhong Qiming, as the patriarch of the Zhong family, probably knows it, but Xia Lin’s strength is not much different from Zhong Qiming’s, and he doesn’t have the ability to search Zhong Qiming’s soul.
After all, the martial arts soul-searching method is a little inferior to the immortal soul-searching method.
Let’s not think about these unimportant things and get back to the issue of world barriers.
In essence, this world barrier is actually the dark crevice in the ground where the ancestor of the Eight Sword Guardians fell. Long, long ago, this place was listed as a forbidden area by the Eight Sword Guardians, and anyone, including their own people, was strictly prohibited from approaching!
Then, it is Zhong Ying and Zhong Qiming’s target this time.
They wanted Xia Lin's life in order to open the forbidden area of the Eight Sword Clan and get in touch with the world barrier.
The forbidden area's defense system is undoubtedly strict.
It also involves some martial arts secrets.
Nowadays, even if the Eight Sword Guardians want to open the forbidden area, the clan leaders of the Eight Sword Guardians need to gather together and open the outer restriction by dripping blood, so that they can come to the world barrier.
However, Zhong Ying's organization took a different approach and found a devious way to break the outer restrictions.
——Using the blood of the Eight Sword Clan members, he bypassed the blood restriction and quietly touched the world barrier without alerting the Eight Sword Clan.
As for what this group of people want to do after coming into contact with the World Barrier...
However, Zhong Ying only knows one side of the story and not the other.
Finally, there is the name of Zhong Ying’s organization: Wall Breakers.
A shadowy organization hidden in the dark, but whose strength should not be underestimated.
The intelligence in the organization is transparent, but the top management is mysterious.
Among the senior officials that Zhong Ying knew about, there were three martial artists who were at the Grandmaster level, and one of them was Zhong Qiming.
As the current patriarch of the Eight Sword Guardians, Zhong Qiming is obviously not at the top of the organization. Zhong Ying does not know the identity of the top leader, but only guesses that he is most likely a member of the Eight Sword Guardians.
Yes, the mole.
This organization was most likely created by an insider of the Yamori Sword Clan.
"Maybe it's greed, but maybe it's the pursuit of martial arts..."
Xia Lin made this assessment in his mind, and this was most likely the truth.
For example, Zhong Qiming’s appeal…
As the patriarch of the Yashou Sword Clan, even though his strength is a little weak, his status is still there.
In essence, Zhong Qiming is the eighth person in this world and one of the rule makers. Normally, as a rule maker, he has no reason to break the rules he made, but Zhong Qiming did so.
This is what was mentioned earlier, one of the purposes of the wall breakers wanting to touch the world barrier.
Because inheritance is time-limited.
In thousands of years of inheritance, even with the size of the Eight Guardian Sword Clan, there will be problems with the loss of inheritance - just like the Xia family now.
If Xia Huangwei were to encounter an unexpected accident, without the guidance of his elders, even if the family martial arts skills were still recorded in a book, some problems would inevitably arise if he tried to comprehend them on his own.
Either there is a misunderstanding or the qualifications are not enough.
Once this situation occurs more and more frequently, it will inevitably lead to the loss of heritage and the phenomenon of each generation being worse than the previous one.
And such a situation has already occurred in the Eight Guardian Sword Clan - that is the Zhong family.
Originally, the inheritance of the Bashou Sword Clan was on par with each other. It was precisely because of the loss of inheritance that the strength of the Bashou Zhong Clan declined drastically. Even the clan leader, Zhong Qiming, is no longer worthy of the title of Grand Master.
Whether for his own martial arts or for the interests of his family, Zhong Qiming must inevitably contact and even open up the world's barriers.
However, opening the world barrier is something that is expressly prohibited by the Eight Sword Guardians - the Eight Sword Guardians are the gatekeepers, so how could a gatekeeper commit theft?
Conflict of interest, Zhong Qiming chose to violate the laws of his ancestors...
That's understandable.
…
When Xia Lin returned to the villa, he had already sorted out everything he knew.
"Let's not talk about the main mission objectives of the second phase for now. What lies before me is still the pursuit of the wall breakers."
The Xia family is small, and there are only three people with Xia family blood.
As the youngest and apparently the weakest, it was not surprising that Xia Lin became the target of the Wall Breaker.
The blood of the other seven families has been collected by the Wall Breakers - it is not difficult for the Wall Breakers to fake an accidental death of a member of a side branch, and if done well, it will not attract the attention of the Eight Guardian Sword Clan.
Accidents are common, and not everyone in the Eight Sword Clan is as talented as a dragon and has mastered martial arts. It all depends on talent.
"In other words, all they lack is my head."
In fact, at the beginning, Xia Lin had such an idea - he wanted to try whether he could join the Wall Breakers and be both a good guy and a villain.
Now that he knew all this, Xia Lin was glad that he didn't do that.
Because the conflict between him and the Wall Breakers is irreconcilable, his own life is a must for the Wall Breakers.
"That's a life-and-death situation."
Although he was mumbling this in his mind, Xia Lin was not too worried.
There are not many grand masters among the wall breakers, but there are also not a few.
The strength of this organization hidden in the dark is not even slightly weaker than any of the Eight Guardian Sword Clans.
"But my cheap dad is not made of clay either."
"The Yashou Sword Clan is not just a decoration, even if there must be a traitor among them."
"With them at the front, it's enough to support me for a long time."
"So there is no need to think too much right now. Just practice and improve, and that's it."
Just after returning home from school, Xia Lin went straight into the training room and started practicing the Hundred Damages Magic Skill.
The busy time in the kitchen has begun again.
…
Lieutenant Colonel Puhua, Experimental Building.
Three bodies were placed on the dissection table.
They are: Zhong Qiming, Zhong Ying, and the principal of Puhua Middle School.
The other three stood in front of the dissecting table, with their hands behind their backs and expressionless faces.
One of them was Xia Lin’s adoptive father, Xia Huangwei, and the other was Xia Lin’s personal assistant: Xu Hui.
The last person was a strange man.
He was thin, like a bamboo pole, with protruding knuckles and calloused palms, and his eyes occasionally gleamed with brilliance.
On the side, Xu Hui said, "The second young master has arrived home."
Xia Huangwei nodded slightly, his face slightly relaxed, and then he looked at the bamboo man again and said, "Old Jiang, what happened today?"
The man called Lao Jiang spoke slowly.
"Zhong Qiming suddenly appeared in the school, killed the principal first, and then went straight to cause trouble for the second young master."
"I hid in the dark, ready to kill Zhong Qiming at the critical moment...but...the Second Young Master..."
Just when Lao Jiang's expression changed and he was about to say the next words, Xia Huangwei suddenly waved his hand and said, "You killed Zhong Qiming."
Lao Jiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I killed Zhong Qiming and Zhong Ying because they were not kind to the Second Young Master."
Only then did Xia Huangwei nod.
Old Chiang, Jiang Wufang, the great master trained by the Xia family.
It is also the hidden hand hiding beside Xia Lin.
The Xia family is one of the eight sword-guarding clans, but is only ranked seventh. It has been weak for a long time, and its population is sparse, so its presence is not high.
However, he didn't expect that in addition to Xia Huangwei, there was actually another great master hidden in the Xia family.
After a brief conversation to confirm some things, Jiang Wufang immediately got up and walked out the door, and disappeared.
After a short wait, more hurried footsteps were heard outside the door.
As the door of the morgue opened, more than ten people walked into the room.
The leader was tall and strong but looked a little old.
He went straight to Zhong Qiming's body, observed him briefly and shook his head.
"I already know the situation. This time the Zhong family was at fault. Zhong Qiming died in vain."
"The most urgent task is to select the next generation of the Zhong family's patriarch as soon as possible. Huang Wei, you don't need to get involved in this matter. I will handle it myself."
Xia Huangwei nodded calmly: "Of course I trust Uncle Wang to do things."
Wang Chengping.
The first of the Eight Guardian Sword Clans, the Grandmaster of the Wang Family.
He is not the patriarch, because his strength is not as good as that of the Wang family's head, but his cultivation as a grandmaster is not fake, so he has great power and a lot of say.
The eight sword-guarding clans are closely related, so if there is a conflict between the eight families, the Wang family will get involved as a notary and host.
At present, Zhong Qiming’s death is indeed under the jurisdiction of the Wang family.
Xia Huangwei said again: "But I need to investigate this matter."
"Zhong Qiming, why did he want to kill my son? The Zhong family must give an explanation for this matter."
Wang Chengping nodded decisively: "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter!"
After chatting for a few words, Xia Huangwei turned around and left.
It was not until he left Lieutenant Colonel Puhua and got into the car that Xia Huangwei snorted coldly.
"The Eight Sword Guardians, someone has forgotten their ancestors' teachings..."
He had already guessed that there was a traitor in the Yashou Sword Clan - and the traitor was not just Zhong Qiming.
At the same time, he also vaguely guessed the truth about why he was besieged and injured eight years ago.
That group of people must be related to Zhong Qiming!
He turned around and looked at Jiang Wufang who had been waiting in the car.
"Xia Lin will have to rely on you, Brother Jiang, for your help."
Jiang Wufang hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth to say something, but in the end he just nodded.
He thought that with the Second Young Master's growth rate, he might not be needed as his protector in less than half a year.
But look at Xia Huangwei's expression.
He seemed to have noticed Xia Lin's abnormality as well, but chose to turn a blind eye.
That's trust.
In this case, there is no point in saying more.
…
Lieutenant Colonel Puhua, in the morgue.
The people brought by Wang Chengping started to get busy.
The main purpose was to collect the body of Zhong Qiming.
As the head of the Zhong family, he died in unclear circumstances. It would be embarrassing to make it public.
Therefore, one has to be presentable in his appearance, as this concerns the reputation of the Yasugano clan.
Wang Chengping stood in the corner, puffing smoke from a cigarette.
As he watched his men washing and changing clothes for Zhong Qiming and piecing together the remains of his body, Wang Chengping suddenly and unknowingly showed a hideous smile on his face.
"Your death was not in vain."
"At least it helped me find out the protective force around Xia Lin..."
Muttering to himself, Wang Chengping threw away the cigarette butt and stomped it out.
Originally, it was thought that the Xia family was weak, with only Xia Huangwei, a half-disabled grandmaster.
As long as Xia Huangwei's movements are monitored, it will be more than enough for Zhong Qiming, the fake grandmaster, to work with several grandmasters to capture Xia Lin.
However, not only did the task fail, but Zhong Qiming's life was lost.
——From the beginning to the end, Wang Chengping never considered the possibility that Xia Lin would personally kill Zhong Qiming. This was unreasonable.
I just guessed that there was a high probability that Xia Lin was protected by another great master.
But now, the plan failed, and Xia Huangwei even became wary...
But it's not a big problem.
Wang Chengping half-closed his eyes and thought for a while, and soon he had an idea in his mind.
"I just don't believe that your Xia family can produce a third Grandmaster."
…
Everyone underestimated the efficiency and determination of the Wall Breakers.
That night, Xia Huangwei took a special plane from Lincheng back to Shenjing.
Not long after the plane took off, the Wall Breaker took action again.
Xialin Villa, in the nearby park.
Three figures confronted each other, and the atmosphere was depressing and solemn.
That person was Jiang Wufang.
The other two are slightly weaker than Jiang Wufang in strength, but their combined strength is still greater than that of Jiang Wufang.
The fluctuation of the energy of the Grand Master realm caused strong winds and dark clouds to form.
Jiang Wufang narrowed his eyes and sighed, "You are really quick. Zhong Qiming just died and you can't wait any longer."
The only response Jiang Wufang received was a heavy punch that broke through the air.
…
At the same time, Shenjing.
Xia Lin's eldest brother, Xia Tian, was returning home after a day's trip.
The Xia family's family tradition is not strict, leaving enough freedom for the children.
When there is no danger, this is a good thing, as it allows the descendants of the Xia family to have a normal life.
But in critical moments, this becomes a weakness that can be exploited.
As the vehicle drove out of the main road and onto the branch road, a precise explosion suddenly sounded. Although it failed to destroy the vehicle Xia Tian was riding in, it forced it to stop.
A figure descended from the sky like a falcon and stepped on the roof of the vehicle.
A rough big hand covered with sticky blood reached into the car and tried to capture Xia Tian alive.
But there was another flash of a knife.
In front of the car, the driver quickly put away his knife, and the blood and energy fluctuations suddenly appeared, showing the strength of a grandmaster! The Xia family really has a third grandmaster! ...
In the villa, Xia Lin, who was practicing, sensed the blood fluctuations in the park.
Considering that the three people fighting were all grandmasters whose strength was much stronger than his current strength, Xia Lin hesitated for a moment and made no move, preparing to wait and see what would happen.
After about ten minutes, the blood and qi fluctuations subsided.
After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.
Xia Lin stood up and opened the door, and saw Yuan Yaozheng and another bamboo-slim but slightly pale man standing in front of the door. When the bamboo-slim man, Jiang Wufang, saw Xia Lin, he spoke immediately.
"Second Young Master, come home with me immediately. The flight has been arranged."
Both Xia Huangwei and Jiang Wufang underestimated the determination and strength of the Wall Breaker.
Under the current circumstances, a grandmaster is unlikely to be able to protect Xia Lin. The safest strategy is to return to Shenjing and hide in the Xia family residence.
Xia Lin also knew the identities of the three people who had just fought in the garden.
One is his dark bodyguard, and the other two are grandmasters of the Wall Breakers.
After a little thought, Xia Lin immediately nodded.
The Wall Breaker's ability to move actually exceeded Xia Lin's expectations.
Normally, if your plan fails, you have to slow down, right?
But the wall breakers don’t do that. When their plan fails, they immediately increase their efforts.
The first time was Zhong Qiming.
At this step, the wall breaker did not make much noise, and still planned to do it secretly without attracting attention.
When it failed, they changed their minds.
The second wave occurred a few hours later, and two grand masters came directly.
The execution ability and speed of mobilizing people are a bit outrageous.
It is conceivable that the third wave of attacks may occur before dawn, and the intensity of this third wave of attacks will only be higher than the second wave.
"This is getting urgent, and it's time to show your cards..."
The death of Zhong Qiming seemed to have disrupted the plans of the Wall Breakers organization.
But it also disrupted Xia Lin's plan to develop secretly.
After a little thought, Xia Lin nodded.
Get out immediately.
In front of the door, three cars, even the license plates were identical, ready to go.
Beside him, Jiang Wufang spoke quickly.
"The master's private plane is turning around and will meet us at Lincheng Airport."
"But I was afraid that the road might be unsafe, so I arranged three convoys as a cover."
After saying that, he looked at Yuan Yao.
"Take the young master and start from the small road."
Yuan Yao nodded immediately.
Having just fought with two great masters of the Wall Breaker, Jiang Wufang was almost exhausted and seriously injured.
He is injured now and only one tenth of his fighting strength is left.
If he follows Xia Lin, not only will he be a bigger target, but he will also not be able to take on the role of a bodyguard.
Therefore, it became a very reasonable decision to let Yuan Yao take Xia Lin with him.
More importantly, Jiang Wufang knew how Xia Lin dealt with Zhong Qiming.
The second young master of his family has an excellent ability to protect himself.
The vehicles started, and the three cars split into three groups and drove towards Lincheng Airport.
As soon as they left the villa area, Jiang Wufang was followed by a police car with sirens blaring.
Using public resources for personal gain also adds a degree of credibility.
Xia Lin sat in the car, looking at Jiang Wufang who was walking away with a dim gaze, and suddenly spoke.
"Is there a problem at home?"
The voice was calm, but the tone was eerie.
Because of this sentence, Xia Lin mixed in some of the techniques of the Heart-Eating Soul-Snatching Technique.
As a foundational skill, the Mind-Capture and Soul-Snatching Technique is not only a forced soul search, but is also a profound martial arts skill.
Adding this technique to sound or action can create a great “interrogation” effect.
Of course, the word "interrogation" is not appropriate for Yuan Yao, but this is indeed the meaning.
In the driver's seat, Yuan Yao's eyes flickered.
He was injured during the day.
The situation is urgent right now, and Yuan Yao is also feeling nervous.
His strength is also weaker than Xia Lin.
In this state, he obviously couldn't withstand the power of the mind-capturing and soul-stealing technique.
Speak immediately.
"Over in Shenjing, the eldest young master was also attacked."
"This attack is not aimed at you, Second Young Master, but at all those with the blood of the Xia family. The master suspects that there is a traitor in the Eight Guardian Sword Clan."
The latter sentence was the information Xia Lin already knew.
But Xia Lin just learned about the first sentence.
He turned his head to look out the window again, and a voice slowly came out of his mouth.
"Brother was also attacked... How is the situation?"
"Nothing is wrong for now. The eldest master has returned home, and please rest assured about the defense force at home."
Xia Lin also didn't know how many cards the Xia family and Xia Huangwei had, and whether the Shenjing family had enough power.
But there was an inexplicable feeling of nervousness and anger in my heart.
The tension slowly disappeared, but the anger intensified!
Home, this concept is deeply rooted in the bones of the original owner of this body.
Even though he himself was attacked, the original owner of this body did not show any extra reaction. However, when he heard that Xia Tian was also attacked, the original owner of this body suddenly burst into strong emotions.
Emotions are even transformed into tasks.
[Identity mission has been triggered! ]
[Identity mission: strangle in the cradle! ]
[Strangle in the cradle: The actions of the Wall Breaker Organization have completely angered you! You must make them pay a heavy price for their decisions and actions! ]
[Mission objective: Use all means to harm or even destroy the Wall Breaker Organization.]
[Penalty for mission failure: None.]
[Rewards for successful mission: Based on the damage and losses you cause to the Wall Breaker Organization, you will receive different amounts of strength unlocking! ]
A strong wind suddenly blew open and hit Yuan Yao's back of the head relatively gently.
Yuan Yao was knocked unconscious on the spot, but a trace of blood came out from the back seat and accurately penetrated the car's engine.
The vehicle stalled on the spot. Xia Lin sighed, pushed open the door and got out of the car.
He dragged the vehicle with one hand and hid it in a hidden place. He looked back at the sleeping Yuan Yao. After thinking for a while, Xia Lin tore off his clothes, bit his fingertips, and left a note.
After stuffing the note into Yuan Yao's arms, Xia Lin turned around and left.
As he walked, his body expanded and soon expanded to a huge height of two meters.
His clothes were bursting, so Xia Lin took out prop-grade clothes from his personal space and put them on.
Disguise complete.
The figure gradually disappeared on the roadside.
But there was also a low murmur, faintly heard along with the sound of the wind.
"This is what anger feels like..."
"To be honest, this feeling is familiar to me. I used to be filled with anger."
"So I know that anger doesn't solve anything."
As his emotions gradually calmed down, Xia Lin grinned again.
“But holding your breath is harmful to your health.”
"Then let's just make a big scene."
