Chapter 249 - Extermination of the Family
Looking into the distance, he saw that the silvery speck of light had completely disappeared into the sky. The talkative Xiang Yun in his heart finally withdrew his gaze and looked towards the black bundle in his hands."Quickly open it and take a look. Was it that little girl who wrote you a love letter?" Old Liang, who was standing to one side, had his hands on his hips and was stretching out his head with a curious expression on his face.
"What does it have to do with you, you old fart."
Xiang Yun replied very impolitely, and kept the bag into his storage ring. Since Luo Ning told him to open it when he got back, she naturally had her reasons for doing so.
"How boring. At such a young age, you"re already listening to the words of a woman. In the future, you"ll become useless!" Old Liang, who had yet to give up, muttered loudly on the side.
"Even if he"s stronger than you, he"s still a bachelor!" Xiang Yun returned the compliment!
When Old Liang heard this, he became anxious. "Who told you I was a bachelor? This old man"s daughter, even you have to call me Aunt when you see her!"
Xiang Yun shot a disdainful glance at Old Liang, his eyes filled with contempt and suspicion.
"Heh, Crown Prince, don"t believe me! Let me tell you, my daughter is a beauty born into a kingdom! She"s as beautiful as a fairy, and her cultivation is frighteningly high! She"s even more promising than his father!"
"Hehe, just boast then. Anyway, I"ve never seen this auntie before so how would I know what she looks like and how high her cultivation is? But seeing your c.r.a.ppy appearance, I"m sure this aunt Cough Cough won"t be much better."When Old Liang heard this, he was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He scolded, "You brat, do you still believe that if you say that your looks are poor, you will become a storm in the future?"
Old Liang"s words came to a halt as he realized that he had spoken too much.
"Where are you going? Why didn"t you say anything?" Xiang Yun looked doubtfully at Old Liang.
"Hmph, when you have the chance in the future, go ask your father. See if I"ve lied to you or not!"
"Tch!"
Just like that, an old man and a young man bickered as they made their way through the forest of the hunting grounds. They arrived at a deep gorge within the Silvermoon Mountain Range.Raising his head and looking towards a towering mountain peak to the southeast, Xiang Yun discovered that the specks of light that used to flash about on that mountain peak had actually disappeared. Instead, black smoke began to rise up into the air.
He focused his eyes and with a thought, he suddenly said to Old Liang.
"Let"s go take a look at that mountain!"That mountain was the Snowdragon Sect encampment, the "Snowdragon Peak".
Old Liang felt that climbing the mountain was too troublesome, so he grabbed Xiang Yun"s shoulder. Without even asking if Xiang Yun was ready, he took a step up into the air, as if riding on clouds and mist. In an instant, they had actually reached the summit of the mountain!
As if they had teleported, the two of them landed on the plaza in front of a large hall. Xiang Yun turned to look around and immediately revealed an expression of shock!
Because at that moment, the original pavilions and pavilions of the Snow Dragon Sect had all been destroyed.
The hall collapsed, and the pavilions were shattered. Everything was charred black as thick smoke billowed out. It was obvious that this place had been ravaged by the raging fire!Xiang Yun also discovered that there were people dressed in all sorts of attire on all four sides. Three to five groups of people were searching all over the ruins, as if they were looking for something.
Because the old man"s speed was too fast, those people didn"t even notice that the two of them were descending from the sky, and didn"t pay any attention to their arrival.Xiang Yun"s gaze swept the area around him. Suddenly, he discovered two familiar silhouettes standing beside the ruins not far away!
Xiang Yun"s feet moved, quickly dashing in front of the two of them.
At that moment, the two of them happened to discover a crystal that was emitting a l.u.s.ter under the pressure of the broken roof.
When the two of them had a look of pleasant surprise on their faces, they suddenly felt someone closing in on them. The two of them were immediately alarmed and drew out their swords at the same time!
Without any hesitation, the two of them pierced through the air at the same time. Their speed was very fast and they moved at the same pace. The angle was very tricky.
In the face of the two men"s flying swords, Xiang Yun only stretched out his hands at the same time. There were only two tiger roars as the sound of tiger claws tearing through the air!
And then he heard the clang of the sword. The blades that were coming at him suddenly stopped an inch away from him.
The two swords had already been gripped by the man"s hands. No matter how hard the duo tried to circulate the cloud energy, they were unable to move the swords in the slightest!"Brothers, it"s been a long time. Why did you suddenly draw your sword and fight the moment we met?" Xiang Yun said to the two of them with a smile.
"Hmm?"
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, the two young men dressed in green robes were stunned. They raised their heads and looked in bewilderment.Only after a long while did the slightly taller young man finally recognize the miserable yet extraordinary young man in front of him!
"Brother Xiang!"
"Haha, Brother Zhou, Brother He, long time no see!" Xiang Yun smiled as he released the swords of the two.
So these two people were actually the ones Xiang Yun and Fatty Niu had met at Eastflower Mountain. They were the two disciples of the Eastflower Sect that guarded the mountain, Zhou Qing and He Tong.
The one who had recognized Xiang Yun earlier was senior brother Zhou Qing. Beside him was a slightly shorter man with tanned skin. It was junior brother He Tong!"Aiyo, Brother Xiang! It"s really you!" Zhou Qing looked at the person in front of him in disbelief.
Beside him, He Tong patted his chest as well. After sizing him up for a long time, he finally heaved a sigh of relief as he said, "So it"s Brother Xiang. I had thought that someone was trying to s.n.a.t.c.h the cloud crystal!"
The two of them simultaneously let out a long sigh of relief and hurriedly kept the cloud crystal on the ground into their bosom.
The three could not be considered to be very familiar with each other, but they could just barely be considered friends. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Xiang Yun asked.
"Brother Zhou, Brother He, I"ve been touring the mountains and rivers for the past few days. I had originally wanted to see the beautiful scenery, but who would"ve thought that it would actually turn into this. I heard that this was the territory of the Snow Dragon Sect, how did it turn out like this?"
Since this matter was none of his business, Zhou Qing and He Tong naturally had nothing to hide. They began narrating the events to Xiang Yun.
As it turned out, half a month ago, a huge fire had started in the Snowdragon Sect encampment.At that time, the surrounding factions all thought that the Snow Dragon Sect had accidentally caught fire.
But unexpectedly, this flame was getting bigger and bigger. It was like a prairie fire and it instantly spread throughout the entire mountain peak. It burned fiercely and illuminated the sky as bright as day. The surrounding forces noticed that something wasn"t right!
Immediately, under the leadership of Blood Shadow Palace, Joyful Union Sect, and the three great forces of the Spirit Channeling Sect, they sent people to investigate at the same time.
Only now did he realize that the disciples and elders of the Snow Dragon Sect, as well as the Snow Dragon Sect"s Sect Leader, Zheng Heshan, had all been silenced. The entire sect had been ma.s.sacred!After that, the sect was set on fire and the buildings were burned. When the three powers arrived, they joined hands and destroyed the fire. However, the Snow Dragon Sect was also completely destroyed.
The three powers naturally did not do this out of good intentions. Once the fire was extinguished …After that, the three major powers began to map out areas for themselves.
That night, the three great forces dug up the entire Snow Dragon Peak. Whether it was pills, magic treasures, or cloud crystals, they all came out empty!
After the three great powers finished searching for the "three huge dragons", there were naturally other small shrimps that came to eat this leftover food.
Many disciples and disciples of the various sects came to try their luck, searching for the treasures left behind by the Snow Dragon Sect.
Needless to say, ten days ago, a Second Cloud Warrior from the Nine Paths of the Dragon Tiger Gang had actually discovered a mid-grade Cloud Crystal.
That mid-grade cloud crystal was finally bought by someone for tens of thousands of gold. That person immediately went down the mountain, bought a house, built a house, and bought some maids and servants.
He didn"t want to be a hero of the martial world and lived a happy life of grudges. He directly became a master of the secular world. He lived a life of wealth and could be said to be envious of others.The moment this matter was spread, the ruins of the Snow Dragon Sect became filled with people coming in and out of the city.
As for Zhou Qing and He Tong, who had been ostracized by the sect elders, they came to try their luck.In these ten days, they came here to search for treasures whenever they had the time, but they did find a few low level cloud crystals. In these ten days, they came here whenever they had the time, but they did find a few low level cloud crystals.
Other than feeling that the chances of finding the treasure became increasingly slim, they were also afraid of being targeted by others. These days, a lot of murders and raids had taken place on the Snow Dragon Mountain.
Two days ago, they were robbed by a group of people. They finally discovered a pill that could raise their cultivation.
The enemy had the advantage of numbers and they were ruthless. If they didn"t run fast enough, the cloud crystals on their bodies would have been taken away.With that experience, the two of them had been on high alert when Xiang Yun had appeared earlier. They had directly attacked.
At this point, Zhou Qing couldn"t help but look at He Tong with a look of amazement in his eyes!
Previously, when he and his martial brother had both used their full strength to control the sword, Xiang Yun had actually only extended his hands and easily restrained their swords.
It had to be known that he and his junior brother were Five Cloud martial artists. Under full force sword strikes, even a large tree as thick as an adult"s waist could be easily sliced apart. This Brother Xiang was actually so secretive!
However, Xiang Yun did not care about what the two of them were thinking. He only sighed inwardly, "As expected, this Lu Yongchang is meticulous enough to cut the gra.s.s at its roots in advance! "
When Xiang Yun was on his way home, he had thought that Lu Yongchang would definitely not leave him any evidence. The Snow Dragon Sect"s Zheng Heshan most likely would not have a good ending.
However, he had not expected that this honest City Lord Lu, who would normally be reluctant to utter a single harsh word to his servant, would actually kill all of the hundreds of Snow Dragon Sect disciples in one night!
Xiang Yun could only sigh. This sect master of the Snow Dragon Sect had plotted against him, harmed him, and even harmed a whole family of disciples.
After that, Xiang Yun, Zhou Qing, and He Tong chatted for a while longer before politely rejecting the two. Xiang Yun then clasped his hands together in farewell, asking Qin Lie to come up the mountain and drink some tea.
However, right at this moment, a burst of clamor sounded from the distant palace hall.
Xiang Yun and the other two turned to look, only to see that not far away, beside a pile of rubble, there were seven to eight people huddled together. They were shouting at the person in the middle, seemingly questioning him.
Seeing the appearance of this group of people, both Zhou Qing and He Tong"s expressions changed!
"It"s them!"
"Hmm?" Xiang Yun cast a questioning gaze at the two of them.
It was at this point that the two of them realized that these seven or eight people were the exact same people who had taken the two people and painstakingly searched for the medicinal pills a few days ago! It had not been a day or two since they killed someone and looted their goods.
"How dare these people act so brazenly? Is it possible that no one is going to control them?" Xiang Yun asked doubtfully.
"Brother Xiang, you don"t know this, but these people are all disciples of the Rainbow Sect, the Longsong Sect, and the Poison Dragon Sect"s three sects in the Silver Moon Mountain Range. They are all in a group and do not dare to provoke the disciples of the four great sects." "Brother Xiang, you do not know this, but these people are disciples of the Rainbow Sect, the Longsong Sect, and the Poison Dragon Sect."Even if they killed people for their goods, how would those small factions dare to clash head on with their three sects? They could only swallow their anger. If it were not for our fast reaction and the fact that we were wearing the attire of East Flower Sect disciples, we might not have been able to escape!"
The Rainbow Sect, the Long Song Sect, and the Poisonous Dragon Sect were also the old sects of the Silvermoon Forest. They were on the same level as the East Flower Sect.The Silvermoon Mountain Range had its own mountain peak, and within each sect, there were several experts at the peak of the Yellow Cloud Realm. They were all half-step Mystic Cloud experts.
Because the Sect Leader of the Dong Hua Mountain Sect had a light temperament, he usually cultivated in seclusion, so he didn"t make many friends. Furthermore, the distance between the three sects was quite far, so he didn"t have much contact with them.
On the other hand, when the three sects got close together, they heard that the three sect leaders were good friends. As disciples of the three sects, they also liked to get entangled with each other in groups of three or five.
In fact, when the Snow Dragon Sect met with a disaster, the disciples of the three sects discussed among themselves and came up with the idea of robbing and killing!Xiang Yun heard this and nodded one by one. He finally understood the reason behind this matter, and glanced at the group of people as he asked a little curiously.
"Hey, what are they doing?"From far away, Xiang Yun could see that the person in the middle of the crowd had a head of messy hair that was scattered all over, his face obscured. His clothes were charred and tattered, looking extremely pathetic.
Xiang Yun glanced over and actually felt that this person was somewhat familiar, but he couldn"t immediately remember who it was.
