Chapter 710 Someone Breaks into the Secret Area

After a good night's sleep, everyone set off before dawn the next day.

This time, in addition to Shi Jian and Fifth Prayer, Xiao Haotian, and Xiao Yuying, there are also several insiders of the Xiao family. They also need their methods to open the secret place on a non-full moon night, and only one Xiao Haotian is not enough.

The Xiao Clan's secret place will only be opened on the night of the full moon, and it is not the night of the full moon, so it can only be opened when the moon is about to set and the sun is about to rise, so as to minimize the damage.

Things went smoothly, and the secret place was reopened as everyone expected, but when a group of people entered and the last person stepped in, he suddenly felt a strange wind blowing behind him, which made him retreat. The hairs on his neck stood on end, he instinctively sensed something was wrong, and shouted: "There is a situation! Close the secret place!"

It's too late to just shout!

When the group came back to their senses, they saw a few more people in front of them that shouldn't exist!

Someone broke into the Xiao family's secret place!
The expressions of Xiao Yuying and several Xiao family members changed!Immediately after, it became cold, Xiao Yuying looked at the few people who broke in, and said coldly: "You can't let them leave!"

Otherwise, the Xiao family's secrets cannot be hidden!Once the Xiao family's secret place is no longer a secret, allowing people to break in at will, it will lose its special meaning, and the entire Xiao family will be affected!
He had just finished speaking when he saw the other party smiling triumphantly and took out something that looked like a signal flare. It was obvious from this action that he was planning to notify someone.

Although the Xiao family's secret place has been closed now, no one knows whether these people have been hiding aside when they opened it just now, and they have seen the whole process from beginning to end, and then copied it again.

Knowing how to open it, even if you can't open it smoothly now, you will always find a way in time.

The Xiao family was ready to shoot when they saw the other party take out the signal flare, but someone was faster than him!

Shi Jian casually picked up a few small stones from the ground and threw them at them!
It precisely hit the acupuncture points of several people.As soon as the hand of the person holding the signal flare hurt, he let go of his uncontrollable hand, and the signal flare fell to the ground.When Shi Jian sucked in her hand, the signal flare fell directly into her hand.

Seeing this, several members of the Xiao family could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.But then he raised his heart again, worried that Shi Jian would not be able to cope.

For a while, a few people ignored the fifth prayer, which was to talk less along the way and deliberately reduce the sense of presence.

"Who are you?" Shi Jian asked while shaking the signal flare.

"Miss Shi, why don't we talk about cooperation?" Several people were wearing long black trench coats, all of them had extremely short hair, and they were tall. The leader in the middle walked out slowly, with a calm face With a leisurely smile, his eyes fell on Shi Jian, obviously confirming that the group of people was headed by her.

Shi Jian raised her eyebrows: "You have to discuss cooperation with me even if you haven't reported your name? Are you stupid or do you think I am stupid? Have you ever discussed cooperation like this?"

The man seemed to be choked by her, and then he smiled nonchalantly: "Miss Shi, we are smart people who don't speak secretly, you should know our origin better than anyone else."

"No, I don't understand, I don't understand at all! So it's best for you to introduce yourself."

Several people on the opposite side suspected that she did it on purpose, but no evidence was found!And now is not the time to tear your face apart.

Your Excellency has already said before you come here that you should not turn against Shi Jian unless it is absolutely necessary. It is the best policy to solve the problem in a peaceful manner.

But your Excellency also said, let them launch the signal flare immediately after entering the Xiao family's secret place... But now the signal flare has been taken away by Shi Jian...

"Who are you guys? What are you doing here at my Xiao's house? You are thieves if you come here uninvited. Could it be that you want to steal some treasure from our Xiao's house?"

No one wants to be called a thief, and these few people are no exception.

Hearing this, his expression turned ugly, but he tried his best to control it.

"This gentleman is joking. How can you say that? We have no choice but to apologize. We just want to be friends with you and sit down and talk about a win-win cooperation."

Shi Jian laughed twice: "The cooperation you want to talk about is not about us selling the spirit veins to you?"

Just now she was still rambling on and on, looking like she didn't want to have a good talk with them.But now he suddenly said the words so bluntly, which made several people stunned for a moment, and some couldn't react.

"Wishful thinking!" Xiao Yuying scolded angrily.

"Patriarch Xiao, why are you doing this? You see, what have you gained after guarding the Xiao family for hundreds of years? Instead of taking off because of this, your family will retreat to the area of ​​Sichuan and gradually decline. But if you can Cooperate with us, and your family will get everything you want after it is done! Isn't this a thousand times better than you are now obscurity and guarding these things without any rewards?"

Xiao Yuying sneered and said, "And you know what we want?"

The man showed a confident smile.

In addition to power, money, status, what else?Otherwise, who would want to do such a thankless task?

Guarding the spiritual veins but not being able to use them for oneself, the intention is naturally the benefits brought about by this matter.

It is a pity that in the empire, the school of Taoism has been suppressed. Only the upper officials and a few people who stand at the top of the wealth pyramid know about it.

Naturally, what the Xiao family did cannot be made public, and there is no way to get corresponding rewards.

What's the difference between this and the risk of escorting a batch of treasures, and in the end, instead of getting paid, they paid and sacrificed a lot?
"Yeah, do you know what we want? What can you give us?" Shi Jian also asked.

"What can we give you, it probably requires us to sit down and talk slowly, what do you think?"

Shi Jian pretended to think for a while before nodding, "Yes."

The people around the man felt that things were a little weird, and lowered their voices to remind them: "Your Excellency told us to be very careful with this woman, saying that she is very cunning, treacherous, and full of tricks..."

How could he agree to talk slowly with them so easily?

He thinks there is a conspiracy here!

"You are too cautious! You have to believe in human nature. No one can resist the temptation of benefits. The failure is only because the benefits given are not big enough and not attractive enough." It is not enough to make them betray, as long as the benefits are big enough, there is nothing Betrayal cannot be sacrificed!
"But……"

The man became a little impatient, "Okay, I know what's going on."

Seeing this, the people around the man had no choice but to swallow all the words of persuasion.But he soon regretted it, deeply regretted it!
