"Heh." Hua Zixing took out a luminous pearl and sneered, "Father actually wants to marry our third sister to Jun Qing, trying to control an outsider. His next step will probably be to hand over the entire Hua family to Jun Qing!"
Hua Zixing was filled with resentment. He had been weak since childhood and had little talent for cultivation.
Even the direct descendants of the Hua family head will be treated coldly because they are considered useless!
From childhood to adulthood, they have never had a say. If their father really wants to hand over the huge Hua family to an outsider...
Hua Zixing had witnessed Jun Qing killing someone on the field; he was a demonic monster! Since his father wanted to bring this demonic monster into the Hua family, he had no choice but to consider his own situation!
As long as he obtains this treasure that allows him to freely travel across continents and plunder resources in the lower realms, he refuses to believe that... he cannot defy fate!
Hua Zixing was completely absorbed in his thoughts and didn't notice a figure appear behind him.
After passing through the narrow passage, a bright light came into view. The stone wall was carved with animal patterns, and several palm-sized luminous pearls were placed on the upper side of the stone wall.
Enough to illuminate the passage, Hua Zixing put away the luminous pearl upon seeing this, however... at that moment, an unfamiliar aura surged in.
Hua Zixing's expression changed drastically, and he quickly turned around—but it was too late.
Liu Yue struck his pressure point, and Hua Zixing's body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
Liu Yue kicked the ground-based Hanako-kun, a slight smile playing on her lips. She grabbed Hanako-kun's arm and dragged him forward.
After walking only a few meters, the hidden room inside revealed a completely different world.
Spirit crystals, jewelry, elixirs, and talismans are the most common items here, and several high-level divine artifacts are displayed on the shelves above.
Walking up to the shelf, Liuyue took down the crossbow from it.
"The Sky-Devouring Crossbow?"
Brushing your hand over the beast patterns on it, this Devouring Sky Crossbow is definitely a top-tier divine weapon!
Even in the Xuan Tian Realm, artifacts of this caliber would be coveted and fought over by cultivators.
"I never expected that the Heaven-Devouring Crossbow would actually be in the Azure Dragon Realm." In her previous life, she had heard her master say that if the crossbow wielder was strong enough, he could kill a god-level expert in one fell swoop!
However, favorable timing, geographical location, and harmonious relationships are all indispensable.
Good stuff, I'll take it.
Liu Yue casually tossed the Devouring Crossbow into her spatial storage, closed her eyes, and spread out her divine sense, but—there was no aura of the Divine Beast Jade.
"Vermilion Bird".
"Young master."
"Can you sense the aura of the Divine Beast Jade?" The Divine Beast Jade originally contained a part of the Vermilion Bird.
Zhuque: "Young master, go forward, southeast."
"Okay." Liu Yue frowned slightly and walked towards the southeast, where there was an underground river with the sound of flowing water.
Beside the blue stone in front, there was a shrine with a box on it. The box was engraved with ancient animal patterns, namely the Azure Dragon pattern.
Liu Yue frowned but did not step forward, because she sensed the presence of the barrier.
Circulating her profound spiritual energy, Liu Yue leaped into the air, her spiritual whip swirling around the brocade box.
Bang! Just then, the stone wall burst open, and countless poisoned arrows shot out—
And it came from all directions.
Liu Yue leaned back, and the poisoned arrow grazed her face.
An arrow grazed her cheek. She darted forward, quickly grabbed the brocade box that was falling from the sky, rolled on the spot, and slammed her back against the stone wall.
She gasped and rushed to the exit, but the next second... Liu Yue realized something was wrong.
Upon opening the brocade box, one finds only an ordinary spirit pearl inside, imbued with the aura of the divine beast jade. No wonder the Vermilion Bird couldn't distinguish it.
"I never expected this old man to be such a cunning fox." He even schemed against her.
Tsk tsk tsk! Very good! Liu Yue gritted her teeth inwardly. Just then, she heard the sound of the stone door being opened, and the footsteps of more than one person, at least four or five!
She placed the brocade box in her hand into Hua Zixing's hand on the ground, and then pierced a poisoned arrow into Hua Zixing's shoulder, releasing his sleeping pressure point.
He leaped into the air and jumped into the underground river.
The icy cold water enveloped my entire body.
Hanako saw nothing and somehow fainted. When he opened his eyes again, a sharp pain shot through his arm. He let out a scream, realized where he was, and quickly covered his mouth.
The poisoned arrow had spread to his shoulder, and his entire arm was numb.
"evil creature!"
Just as Hanako Yoshiki got up.
Behind him, a gust of wind brought a palm strike that landed heavily on Hua Zixing's back. In an instant, Hua Zixing was sent flying, and the brocade box in his hand fell into the hands of the Hua family head, who rushed over in a rage.
Hua Zixing suddenly coughed up a mouthful of black blood. When he saw his father, he fell silent. What had happened?
"Father, Father, it's me, it's me!"
Hanako-kun clutched his head and shouted loudly.
The Spirit Emperor Realm cultivators behind the Hua family head, who were about to make a move, stopped using their profound energy upon hearing Hua Zixing's voice.
Looking at Hua Zixing in surprise, isn't this the Fourth Young Master?
"How could it be you!" The head of the Hua family almost crushed the brocade box in his hand, glaring angrily at his good-for-nothing son.
"I……"
Hanako Yoshimi wanted to say something, but before he could finish, the poison in his shoulder took effect, and he collapsed straight down.
"How could I have a son like you!" The head of the Hua family was furious. "Guards, carry him out and find a doctor to treat him!"
The head of the Hua family glared at Hua Zixing, who had been poisoned and passed out, with a look of utter disappointment.
I'm so angry I feel like my lungs are going to explode! I'm on guard day and night, but it's hard to guard against a thief in my own house!
Hua Zixing was carried away, leaving only the Hua family head and a man in black in the dark room.
He walked over from the arrow formation, bent down, and picked up an arrow from the ground.
"Mr. Mu."
Facing the man in black, the head of the Hua family spoke respectfully: "I must thank Mr. Mu for reminding me not to leave the Divine Beast Jade here."
“Yes, if the Divine Beast Jade were here, it would probably be in someone else’s hands by now.” Mr. Mu smiled coldly.
"What does Mr. Mu mean by this?"
The head of the Hua family was surprised, then said, "Although my son broke in here, he didn't..."
"Does Patriarch Hua really think that the Fourth Young Master can avoid the arrow formation I set up?" Mr. Mu smiled coldly. "The place where the Fourth Young Master fainted cannot trigger the traps I set up. Besides, with the Fourth Young Master's skills... doesn't Patriarch Hua know his own son well?"
It's obvious how useless Hua Zixing is! If Hua Zixing were to enter this arrow formation, he wouldn't just be hit by one arrow; he'd be riddled with arrows!
Upon hearing this, the head of the Hua family suddenly realized, "Mr. Mu, you mean... a second person has broken in here."
