Chapter 124: The Fall of the Xue Family
Tens of thousands of years ago, the Xue family was known as one of the most powerful forces, but no one would have imagined that it has become what it is today.
"How did this place become like this?"
Shangguan Yujian was sitting in a tavern in a town not far from the Xue family. He could not help but frown as he sensed the spiritual energy between heaven and earth becoming increasingly thin.
"Strange, I heard that the Xue family has become more and more powerful over the past tens of thousands of years, training soldiers and expanding territory, with obvious ambitions. Chi'er's father has also retired behind the scenes, and the current head of the family is his grandson, Xue Wuji.
But why is the Xue family's residence in the hinterland in such a desolate state? ”
Shangguan Yujian thought about it again and again, but couldn't think of any clues.
"Waiter!" He knocked on the table, called the waiter, and asked in confusion, "Waiter, do you know why the Xue family, with the most powerful strength, is in such a state now?"
The smiling waiter suddenly froze, and quickly whispered, "Sir! Please don't embarrass me, this is a life-threatening problem!"
Hearing this, Shangguan Yujian became even more confused. He waved his hand and a barrier appeared in the air. From the outside, it seemed that the waiter was changing drinks and serving plates, but no one expected that the waiter was being interrogated inside.
"You can say it now, and no one will notice what you answered." The former shook the wine glass, and with his right hand, "Pa!", he slapped a huge spiritual stone on the table, and said calmly, "First question, what happened to the Xue family over the years to make it become like this?"
"e" The waiter raised his eyebrows slightly, swallowed his saliva when he saw the spirit stone, and said carefully, "Sir, you don't know that the Xue family has become what it is now because of an accident tens of thousands of years ago!
The grandfather of Xue Wuji, the current head of the Xue family, is a super powerful person! It is said that he had three sons and two daughters, two of whom died for various reasons. The surviving daughter was kidnapped on her wedding day and her whereabouts are unknown. She has not been found to this day. That incident was the root cause of the flames. ”
"Oh? Tell me in detail." Shangguan Yujian put down the wine glass and asked seriously.
"Hey, sir, you have found the right person! One of my ancestors used to be a guard in the Xue family, so he knows more about this than others!" The waiter said proudly.
“It is said that the man who kidnapped his daughter came from a very powerful sect, but the Xue family didn’t know this at first!
So after the man kidnapped his daughter, they began a large-scale arrest, wanted order, and even spread rumors, which then led to revenge from the man's master. Overnight, most of the top executives were beaten and most of the financial resources were extorted!
Since then, the situation of the Xue family has become worse and worse. Many sects have escaped from his rule, and his status was shaky for a time. However, no one expected it!
An ancestor-level figure of the Xue family actually broke through to the legendary level of cultivation. He was born on the day when many sects wanted to join forces to overthrow the status of the Xue family!
There must have been a baptism afterwards, the specific details are unknown, anyway, from then on, the entire southern part was vaguely under the control of the Xue family, until..."
"Until what?"
Suddenly, Shangguan Yujian felt something was wrong and threw the wine glass in his hand away. At the same time, the waiter's body exploded instantly and billowing gray mist emerged, as if trying to swallow the former.
The wine glass spun, and the rolling gray mist was absorbed into the glass before it approached Shangguan Yujian.
The former held the wine glass in his hand, listening to the wailing coming from it, looking at a gray figure walking out of the Xue family and rushing towards him. He sneered a few times, then tore through the space and drove away.
"Want to run?"
A hoarse voice came from the gray mouth, and the next moment, he turned into a ball of gray mist and chased after the former!
“Bang!”
After chasing for a while, the gray fog suddenly seemed to hit something and stopped.
A face emerged from the gray fog and asked in confusion, "What is that?"
A pair of hands reached out from the gray fog and knocked on the invisible barrier with a thoughtful look.
"not good!"
The former exclaimed, turned around and shot away into the distance, but just as he turned around, he felt he hit the barrier again, and his face suddenly became very ugly.
He knew that he had failed this time!
"I don't know which master has come, I hope he can come out and see me!"
"Who are you?"
A very cold voice sounded between heaven and earth. The gray fog ball turned into a human shape and looked around, but saw nothing.
"I am from the Xue family, and I am the eldest brother of Xue Wuji, the current head of the Xue family!"
Gray Mist said this with full confidence, as if the other party would not only show up but also apologize to him after hearing these words.
"Although I have been in seclusion for a long time, I still know a little about the affairs of the Xue family! When did the head of the Xue family actually have another big brother? Huh?!"
The gray mist group shuddered, but his expression remained unchanged. He said confidently, "Since you don't believe me, why don't you take me back to the Xue family? Then you will know whether what I said is true or not!"
"snort!"
A cold snort sounded, and a powerful pressure instantly came from all around. A huge palm fell from the sky and grabbed the former.
The gray fog group wanted to resist, but failed.
"Why would the Gray Mist people from the Mist Clan appear here?" Shangguan Yujian muttered to himself, looked at the gray mist ball that was sealed in his hand, and put it away.
"Ding ding ding! Ding ding ding!"
"Master?" Shangguan Yujian was slightly stunned and quickly answered the signal.
"Yujian, have you met the members of the Mist Clan?"
"That's right!" The former took out the gray fog ball he had just put away, shook it, and asked in confusion, "Master, why did the gray fog people of the fog tribe appear here? I remember that there shouldn't be many people left in the fog tribe, and what's more, they and the Xue family have an irreconcilable blood feud, and now..."
"You just said that there are still some members of the Mist Clan left?"
"yes!"
"But I heard that the Mist People betrayed the human race and were directly exterminated. How come only a part of them are left?"
"Ah?" Shangguan Yujian's mouth twitched slightly
"I forgot to mention that the Fog People were indeed exterminated back then, but later Xiao Eleven discovered traces of the Fog People in the Endless Abyss. After some investigation, he found a group of surviving Fog People. Their number was also very small. They were probably the last group of survivors."
"I know! But now I have a question for you,"
"Master, please tell me,"
"Xiao Shiyi, why did he enter the Endless Abyss? I remember I told you at the beginning that you must not enter the Endless Abyss. Why didn't you listen?!"
Shangguan Yujian's eyelids twitched. Oops, he forgot this!
He moved his mouth, but he didn't continue to play it safe. He sighed slightly and said hesitantly, "Xiao Eleven, after the disappearance of his master, he was besieged by many forces and finally jumped into the endless abyss. But fortunately, he can be regarded as a blessing in disguise."
"Who told you that he was a blessing in disguise? Where is he? How long has he been out? He's gone now, so you better keep an eye on him. This ball of light contains some information I got, so you can handle it yourself! I have to find him quickly! This kid is really a worry!"
Han Feng hung up the call angrily.
On the other side, Shangguan Yujian looked at the four big words "Call interrupted" in confusion, his eyelids twitching wildly.
He didn't understand. Didn't Xiao Eleven's spiritual awareness increase significantly? He could even interfere with the heaven's secrets with a single thought. If this wasn't a blessing in disguise, what was it?
Looking at the gray mist in his hand, and then looking at all the relevant information in the ball of light that appeared out of thin air in front of him, Shangguan Yujian's eyes instantly became very cold.
"Actually, they set their sights on Fan'er! This is fucking unforgivable!"
The latter viciously crushed the gray fog ball in his hand and said, "Since you don't care about your own lives, don't blame me. The world is in chaos!"
With a light snap of his fingers, a puppet appeared in front of him. Shangguan Yujian stretched out his hand and waved, "Follow me, let's defeat the Xue family together. I want to see what the relationship between the Xue family and the Mist Clan is!"
"yes."
The puppet said stiffly.
The next second, the two arrived at the door of Xue's house.
There were clearly auspicious signs outside the door, as if something good was about to happen to the Xue family, but the door of the Xue family was simply closed.
"Xue family, is there anyone still breathing? If there is, get out now! Otherwise, I will kick down your crooked door right now!" Shangguan Yujian slapped his palm fiercely, and the huge spiritual energy palm whistled towards the door.
“Stop!”
A low voice echoed between heaven and earth, but it had no effect at all. The slap still hit the Xue family's door.
In an instant, a huge explosion resounded through the sky.
"Who are you? How dare you attack my Xue family! Do you think that there is no one in my Xue family?!" An old man in a black robe appeared behind the door and looked at the former with anger on his face.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you yell at me?" Shangguan Yujian was already furious, and slapped him to the ground with another slap.
The old man spat out a mouthful of blood and shouted with a look of despair, "Impossible, how could it be possible?"
"Shut up, are you stupid? As expected, villains always like to say it's impossible!"
"I came here this time just to ask where Xue Wuhui is? Tell him to come out and see me!"
"presumptuous!"
As soon as the words fell, several very unhappy voices shouted, "How dare you! How dare you shout the name of the Great Elder?"
"Oh, he has become the Great Elder? He is really regressing as he grows older. Tell him to come out to see me. If he doesn't come out, don't blame me for breaking in directly!"
"You are so young, but you are so arrogant!"
A very majestic voice sounded, and the few people who came out turned around and said respectfully, "Grand Elder!"
"Well, who is it that wants to see me so much, so much?"
At this moment, he seemed to have seen something impossible. The hand holding the cane was shaking violently, and the other hand was raised directly, pointing at Shangguan Yujian, shouting in panic, "How is it possible! How can you still be alive!"
Hearing this, the latter's mouth curled up, realizing that the other party had recognized him, and said with a smile, "It seems that you, the great elder, have a good memory. Since you can recognize me, don't you have anything to ask?"
"You! You, you"
Xue Wuhui pointed at Shangguan Yujian's nose, as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"What do you mean by 'you'? People who don't know you would think you are a dumb person! When people from the outside world hear you, they will say, 'Wow! The great elder of the Xue family is actually a dumb person! This is very funny!'"
"Hmph!" Xue Wuhui suddenly took a deep breath for several times, and suddenly he seemed like a different person. His eyes instantly became very wise, but very confused.
"I didn't expect you to be alive!"
"Yes, I am indeed still alive! Is that surprising?"
Xue Wuhui was silent.
"What exactly are you here for this time?" The latter stopped playing around and asked directly.
"As far as I know, your Xue family should have a few semi-immortal artifacts, right? I'm just going to take a look, just a look. You guys can't possibly refuse to agree to such a casual request, right?"
"Don't you think this is ridiculous?" Xue Wuhui sneered.
The semi-immortal weapon is the foundation of their Xue family, how can it be exposed to the outside world so easily?
"Okay!" Shangguan Yujian nodded, turned around and was about to leave. "Then I will have no choice but to spread the news that your Xue family and the Wuren clan have joined forces to join the enemy."
"You! Stop!"
Xue Wuhui's expression froze. He didn't expect that the former would use this matter to threaten him!
Although on the surface, the Xue family is a powerful family, as if they can cover the entire south with one hand, but who knows that in fact, the interior of their Xue family has already been occupied by the Mist Clan.
Most of it has fallen.
The Mist People got a very evil yet extremely powerful skill from somewhere, which allows them to split their own essence and transplant it into other people's bodies. When the time is right, it will take root in their bodies and eventually become their slaves, or be assimilated into the Mist People.
Even some figures at the ancestor level were eroded.
An old man also forcibly planted mist in his body. Although it could not be expelled, it could at least suppress it for a period of time and delay the erosion time.
However, the biggest problem is that everyone knows that these fog people were led by their own Xue family, who took the lead in killing and massacring the entire clan!
If it were to suddenly be exposed now, their Xue family would have already become slaves of the Mist Clan or have been assimilated.
The consequences are disastrous.
Just like how they treated the Mist People back then, there will be another Xue Family who will treat them as the Mist People and wipe them out!
"etc!"
"?"
Shangguan Yujian stopped but did not turn around. His voice sounded faintly, "Why, Xue Wuhui, do you want to play the emotional card? Or do you want to keep me here?
No way, no way? ? You really didn't come here by yourself, did you? You don't really think you can keep me here? ”
"Hmph," Xue Wuhui snorted coldly. After communicating with several senior members of the family, he calmly said, "If you want to see those semi-immortal artifacts, you must enter the gate of my Xue family! Okay! We agree!
but! It depends on whether you have the courage and ability to get out of it! ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Yujian narrowed his eyes. He didn't expect that Xue Wuhui would dare to threaten him so blatantly.
but,
He is really not afraid!
"Come on, who's afraid of who? I'm the one who goes in last. If you can bring out the semi-immortal weapon, then you can't blame me!"
Hearing this, Xue Wuhui's pupils also shrank.
Although I kept saying it was impossible, but after disappearing for tens of thousands of years, he was still so young and even stronger.
He really had no idea.
But now that the words have been spoken, how can I take them back?
"please!"
Xue Wuhui said coldly, but his body still stood there, with ice crystals flashing all around, and a huge blue frost phoenix shadow appeared in the air.
A gray mist flashed across his eyes.
Shangguan Yujian was not surprised at all. "Since your Xue family sincerely invited me in, why should I refuse?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the former flashed like a ray of light and instantly crashed into Xue Wuhui. There was no trace of disdain in the latter's eyes, but instead he looked more solemn.
"You are much more powerful than I thought!" As he said that, the Frost Phoenix behind him raised his foot, trying to block the threatening attack.
"biu√~~"
"Bye, you!"
Shangguan Yujian flashed and instantly slipped through the gap and entered the Xue family. As soon as he came in, he felt as if a layer of fog appeared above his head, and his mood instantly became very depressed.
“Stop him!”
Just as Xue Wuhui was about to shout, he felt a strong force coming. The moment he turned his head, a hard slap hit him directly in the face.
“Bang!”
With a crisp sound, Xue Wuhui actually flew backwards and collided with the gate of Xue's family.
Everyone's eyes widened as they watched, and they just stood there in a daze.
No one expected that someone as powerful as the Great Elder could not even withstand a single blow from the opponent! Even if the opponent launched a sneak attack, you can't say that you didn't even have time to react!
This is a blatant slap in the face!
"Your opponent is me!"
"Who are you?"
"My young daddy!" The puppet rarely showed a nasty expression, like a crazy man looking for his apprentice.
"asshole!"
Xue Wuhui opened his hands, and a powerful spiritual consciousness connected heaven and earth. All the spiritual energy around him was directed towards him. The frost phoenix behind him instantly changed its entity, and its body merged with his own. The sound of a phoenix's cry resounded through heaven and earth.
"If you make me angry, you will make the wrong decision in your life!"
An angry voice sounded from the Frost Phoenix's mouth, and then a huge hand appeared out of thin air with the movement of the puppet, grabbed his neck like a chicken, and lifted him up!
His wings were broken directly!
The two chicken feet were tied together directly with an invisible rope!
Now he is like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered!
The former suddenly became panicked. He thought the other party was a puppet, so he could not feel the other party's cultivation!
Now it seems that he was extremely wrong!
The other party clearly didn't bother to attack him!
This is an insult to him! But he didn't have the strength to resist at all!
