C382 His Old Rival Nangong Yunjian
C382 His Old Rival Nangong Yunjian
Pointing at the dark and gloomy mansion, the messenger said in a low voice, "Lord Battle Soul, this is the Xu family. More than 20 years ago, due to the soul reaper killing you, Commander Lu ordered us to investigate thoroughly, which is why the Xu family entered our field of vision. To be honest, when we first found out that the Xu family actually had such great strength, ... His subordinate was also very surprised. So, after so many years... We have never let go of our investigations on the Xu family."
"En, you have done well. You can leave now. I want to enter the Xu family and find out what's going on!"
"Sir, this matter must not be allowed. We have entered the Xu family countless times. Over the past ten years, I have sent nearly a thousand messengers. Regardless of whether it is in the open or in the dark, our people are like stones sinking into the ocean. After entering, they have all disappeared."
"Hehe... Don't worry. It's just a mere Xu family. Young master, I don't care about it. I will return before dawn. Step down and don't expose our location. "
"Lord... this..."
The messenger wanted to say something but Lin Yun had already disappeared. He could only grit his teeth and retreat.
Lin Yun, who had sneaked into the mansion, was carefully sneaking around. Although he said that he didn't care about the Xu family, he never relaxed.
If his judgment was correct, this Xu family was the Xu family that he had met in the Xie family. Then, the Xu family wouldn't be simple. It wouldn't be surprising for them to possess some strange techniques. Therefore, it was better to be careful, in case they were caught off guard. Then, they wouldn't be able to cry anymore.
The Xu Residence was very quiet. There wasn't even a sentry, but Lin Yun felt a kind of blood-red fog in the Xu Residence.
This fog actually gave him a familiar feeling. As he recalled it carefully, he recalled the strange canyon at the foot of Poison Sect and was startled.
Although this fog wasn't as abnormal as the one in the canyon, it contained deadly poison. Even his body, which was immune to the poison, felt numb. This was truly frightening.
After searching for the fluctuations of the living person in front of him, Lin Yun found the main hall of Xu Prefecture. He saw the patriarch of Bai family, Bai Zhenshan, talking to an old man.
Activating his senses, Lin Yun listened attentively.
"Elder Xu, the Poison Sect is in a desperate situation. They want us to take back the Key of Chaos and the opening chant of the dragon tomb from Lin Yun!"
"Hehe... Finally, the dog can't hold it any longer! You have to promise them that you will do your best in this situation. Let them see that you have indeed done your best!"
"Elder Xu... this... Will this attract the attention of the other major powers? After all, our Bai family has become the target of everyone. If we don't pay attention, we will be surrounded and attacked."
"Hehe... Master of the Bai family, you don't have to worry about this. One day, the Xu family will be in the Eastern Continent. If any of the other major powers want to interfere, they will have to ask us. The dragon tomb won't be born. They will never set foot on this land. "
"Hu... With Elder Xu's words, I can be at ease. Then I'll do as Elder Xu says!"
"En... But this Lin Yun is indeed troublesome. The most fatal thing is that he has already occupied two important items in the dragon tomb. We must think of a way to get them back."
"Then... Elder Xu, what you mean is..."
"If we want to kill someone, we must find his weakness first. According to the information provided by the Xu family, this Lin Yun values the Lin family very much. So, as long as we control the people of the Lin family, we don't have to worry that he won't show himself."
"Elder Xu... Forgive me for being blunt. The current Lin family is no longer the same as before. Even if Lin Yun wasn't present, it wouldn't be so easy to deal with him. No one knew where Lin Yun had come from to make a Spirit Saint warrior from the Luo family willingly protect the Lin family. Furthermore, he had also found a Blue Iron clansman, and the two of them had joined forces. This has caused our Bai family to suffer a great loss several times!"
"The power of the Luo family's Rakshas?"
"That's right. This man is definitely a direct blood relative of the Luo family. Although he is only a supreme expert, his combat strength is comparable to a Saint. Without an Emperor level expert, we won't be able to break through the Fengyang City."
"En! Since that's the case, then we, the Xu family, will have to make a move!"
"Elder Xu! Is what you said true?"
"I have always been a man of my word, and I will never change my mind!"
"That's great! With the help of the beast tamers from the Xu family, the Lin family will definitely not be able to stop them!"
"Un! Go back first. I will send someone to inform you of the exact timing of the attack. At that time, your Bai family will have to contribute!"
"Of course! Then I will take my leave!"
After saying that, Bai Zhenshan cupped his fists and left respectfully. Lin Yun didn't follow him. Instead, he continued to hide underground, quietly observing the old man.
This man's hair was grayish white, and he looked like he was in his twilight years. However, his exposed arms and legs were full of muscles. He looked like a man in his prime, and he possessed explosive strength. There was also a dull blood energy thunder in his body. It was obvious that he wasn't as simple as he appeared to be. Perhaps, he was a peerless expert on par with Shieh Tianchou.
Bai Zhentian had just retreated when a person walked towards him from afar. Lin Yun looked over with his divine sense and exclaimed in his heart.
This man was actually the dead Nangong Yunjian. He was still alive.
This made Lin Yun very surprised, but he didn't feel much of a shock. He still quietly watched him walk into the house.
"Master! I have found the latest news about the Lin family!"
"Speak!"
"MALE1 seems to have returned a few days ago. The Mu Residence in Xifan was destroyed by Luo Shee and King Mu was kidnapped! The chief commander of Lin family, Lu Xian, led tens of thousands of men towards the south. It seems like he is going to have a decisive battle with Ao Lai! "
" Is that all? "
"This is all we can find at the moment. The people of the Lin family are too difficult to deal with. Before they made some kind of decision, none of the people below knew about it. That's why we didn't have time to send out any news to the spies we planted among them. However... This servant will definitely arrange for a high ranking official to enter the Lin family as soon as possible. When that time comes, if they make a move... We will be able to... "
Pah...
Before Nangong Yunjian could finish his words, he was slapped to the ground by the old man. He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
The old man slowly stood up. A wave of pressure emerged from his body and pressed down on Nangong Yunjian, causing him to tremble.
He said with a gloomy expression, "Trash. It has been so many years, but you still haven't blended into the upper echelons of Lin family. What do I need you for?"
"Master... Master... give this servant one more chance. One more time. In less than a year... this servant will definitely..."
Slap...
"Trash..."
Another slap landed on Nangong Yunjian's face, but he didn't dare show any dissatisfaction. Instead, he knelt down and crawled to the old man's feet like a dog trying to please its master. His face was full of flattery.
"Hmph! We don't have much time left. The dragon tomb will be born in a year's time. On the Great Xia's side, our clansmen have already prepared everything. Let's wait for the dragon tomb to open. Say, if the dragon tomb can't be opened... What's the use of our plans that we have prepared for so many years? We've paid such a huge price, and we didn't even hesitate to reveal part of the secrets of the Undying Crystal. If we can't obtain anything in the end, will you be responsible for our losses?"
"Master... Master... This servant... This servant has really done his best!"
Bang...
The old man kicked Nangong Yunjian away and his eyes were filled with killing intent. He said viciously, "I will give you half a month's time to find out Lin Yun's whereabouts. Otherwise, you don't have to come back. Just die!"
"Master..."
The old man said, "Get lost..."
"This servant accepts the order..."
Nangong Yunjian retreated with extreme fear. After he left, the old man flipped the table and smashed the chair, his anger soaring to the sky.
Lin Yun, who was underground, smiled evilly and slowly withdrew from the Xu Residence.
His guess was completely correct. This Xu family was indeed related to the cultivators with the surname Xu in the Xie family's base.
The eavesdropping had allowed Lin Yun to vaguely guess the major secret of the dragon tomb - the secret of immortality! No wonder so many major powers were rushing over like a flock of ducks.
