Heavenly Emperor of the Ten Directions

Chapter 25
At night, in the East Garden of Xiao Mansion, in Xiao Zhen's room.

"Li Fu, you are seriously injured now, let's rest at ease and recuperate first. You temporarily step down as the housekeeper, and when you recover from your injury, you will still be the housekeeper of the Xiao residence." Xiao Zhen persuaded with a kind expression.

"Patriarch, I understand." Li Fu finally left the Patriarch's room indifferently.

After Li Fu walked away, a cold light flashed in Xiao Zhen's eyes.

"Give me a good watch on him, if he has any abnormalities, shoot him to death." Xiao Zhen's words were extremely cold.

"Yes, master."

The Xiao family's secret guard got the order and said in a deep voice.

Li Fu walked back to the yard very slowly, seeing the blood stains on the snow-white wall, his heart throbbed with cramps.

"Xiao Zhen, my loyalty to you is in vain. Now that I have lost an arm, I just discard it like a shoe." Li Fu returned to the room, constantly thinking about a series of things that happened over the years.

At this time, Xiao Zhang's voice reverberated in his mind today.

"Li Fu, this is your good master. He used you as a pawn and asked you to test him out. Haha, I feel sorry for you. The whole family was sold, and I am grateful to Dade for his loyalty to someone."

The more Li Fu thought about this, the more reasonable he felt.

"It seems that Xiao Zhen really failed to control the guardian behind the scenes of the Xiao family. The last time the four major families attacked the Xiao family, it was only after Xiao Zhang encountered a crisis that the guardian took action. From this point of view, the guardian must still be in the dark Protect Xiao Zhang."

Li Fu's thoughts kept flashing and analyzing.

"Xiao Zhang, a bastard, can't be let go, let alone the Xiao family. Xiao Zhen, since you caused my family to be ruined, I will also let your Xiao family be ruined. If you want your dog to eat dog, Xiao Zhen, you are not benevolent, so stop Blame me for being unrighteous."

Li Fu thought viciously, and a stern look suddenly appeared in his eyes.

At this time, three black-robed figures appeared in a top-secret room in the Xiao family garden.

"Xiao Er, what's the matter for calling us here so sneakily in the middle of the night?" the third room owner said coldly.

"The two of you are called tonight, of course it's for the day." Xiao Chengcai said coldly.

"What happened during the day is just the fight between Xiao Zhang and the Patriarch, it's nothing to do with our other three housekeepers. Why, Xiao Er, you are going to intervene, don't blame me for not warning you, meddling in this kind of thing is of no benefit to you." Said with a sneer.

"I'm not interested in meddling in such frivolous things. I'm thinking about Xiao Zhang's words today. Don't you think there is something wrong with the accounts of the past four years? And the last time the four major families attacked, the black man they caught Yiren, other people don't know, don't you know, that is definitely from our Xiao family?" Xiao Chengcai said coldly.

"Xiao Er, what exactly do you mean?" Hearing this, although the owner of the third house had guesses in his heart, he still had to ask Xiao Chengcai for verification.

"It's very simple. In the past four years, there have been problems with the accounts of the major market towns. The accountant of our third room just found out the problem and died suddenly. Moreover, this man in black is a secret guard who can only be controlled by the owner of the house. Then why did the hidden guard go to Linyuan Town? Do you still believe that he can really steal the treasure house under the strict protection of the four major families?" Xiao Chengcai said in a deep voice.

"That's right, the accounts are kept with the owner every year. The accountants sent by our second, third, and fourth bedrooms all died suddenly without accident. There must be something strange about it, and today Xiao Zhang said that he was assassinated. Why? Will be assassinated, does it mean that Xiao Zhang still holds the secrets of the Xiao family that we don't know?" The third house owner said coldly.

"It's easy to understand being assassinated. You probably haven't noticed that Xiao Zhang's cultivation level shown today is already at the early stage of Sea of ​​Qi, but his combat power has swept through the sea of ​​Qi. Not surprisingly, it is very likely that Xiao Zhang followed Xiao Bufan. After that, the leader will be the leader." The fourth room owner said coldly.

"Hey! If it is really Xiao Bufan who leads the Xiao family, I am absolutely convinced." Xiao Chengcai sighed.

"That's right, if Xiao Bufan doesn't disappear, he will definitely step into Shenzang now, then he will be the number one powerhouse of our Xiao family. His combat power will definitely be no less than those old monsters of the other four big families. By that time, he will be able to lead us The Xiao family has become the head of the five major families. It is a pity that it disappeared four years ago and has not been seen until now." The third house owner said with emotion.

"He disappeared. The first reason is to find the treasures of heaven and earth and help Xiao Zhang get through the entrance. The second reason is to thoroughly investigate the cause of the great changes in the Xiao family four years ago. There is definitely a big secret in the ancient abyss." Sifang The master said coldly.

"None of us has ever been to the ancient abyss, and now we are slowly saving up in secret, and we must investigate this matter in the future." A cold light flashed in Xiao Chengcai's eyes.

In the yard, after taking good care of Uncle Zhao and sleeping, Manzi followed Xiao Zhang to the yard with his head down.

"Master, I'm sorry, it's all because of my greedy drink." Manzi said shamelessly.

"Manzi, how many times have I told you, how many times have I warned you not to drink with outsiders, you can't take my words as wind on your ears." Xiao Zhang said angrily.

This time is really dangerous, if Xiao Zhang comes back a little later, he can't even imagine what the final result will be.

"Master, I've remembered, from now on, if I, Manzi, drink, I will cut off my own finger." Manzi said excitedly.

"I didn't say I won't let you drink, but you don't want to drink with outsiders. In the Xiao residence, we are attacked everywhere. We must be careful, this time it will be like this, if there is another time, you will see how I deal with you."

Xiao Zhang said in a deep voice.

"Master, no more."

"Go and rest, you are tired too."

Early the next morning, Xiao Zhang rushed to Xiao's martial arts arena.

Today is the annual Xiao family competition day.

On the martial arts arena, all the warriors of the younger generation of the Xiao family are gathered at this moment. The so-called younger generation refers to warriors under the age of 30.

When Xiao Zhang came to the Martial Arts Field, he found that it was crowded with people.

The Xiao family is one of the five major families in Xiaoshui City, and there are many martial artists attached to the Xiao family. In addition to the martial artists of the Xiao family, the martial arts arena is full of voices.

When Xiao Zhang arrived at the scene, he immediately attracted the attention of the audience.

And some advanced warriors suddenly sensed that Xiao Zhang's cultivation was already at the early stage of Sea of ​​Qi.

Sensing this scene, they were extremely shocked.

"Didn't it mean that Xiao Zhang couldn't get through the entrance in this life? How come he has become a martial artist of the [-]th Qi Sea Realm in such a short period of time."

"It's unbelievable. Even the young Patriarch couldn't reach this level of cultivation speed."

"In a little more than a month, we will be promoted to the fourth level. Looking at the younger generation in Xiaoshui City, they will all enter the ranks of top geniuses."

Seeing this scene, Xiao Kai's face couldn't help but gloomy.

After Xiao Zhang finished registering, the Xiao family competition list came out.

The Xiao family score is divided into four groups, each group has a seed player, the first in the group is the top four, and the second in the group is the top eight.

At this time, the lists of the four groups were all posted up, and Xiao Zhang suddenly saw that there were only sixteen young warriors in each group.

At the same time, the [-]-to-[-] battle tables of the four teams came out at the same time.

This is completely unreasonable. Although the younger generation of the Xiao family is indeed very small, there are many warriors from the concubines and sidelines. In the past, at least one or two hundred warriors participated in each big competition. Why is there only 64 young warriors in this clan competition? .

Moreover, among these warriors, none of them has a cultivation base lower than the fourth-layer Qi Sea Realm, and above many warriors of the younger generation, they are the three masters of the Xiao family.

Although their cultivation base is now shown as the peak of the fifth level of real energy, but this can be hidden from ordinary warriors, how can it be hidden from the old man.

"Xiao Dian's cultivation is at the late sixth level, and Xiao Shu and Xiao Ji's cultivation is at the middle sixth level." Tian Lao said lightly.

"Due to the small number of people in this group competition, the rules of the group competition have been slightly changed. There are sixteen warriors in each group, and the first and second will be determined after three battles. The first and second in each group will get five They are the top eight of this race. The rankings other than the top eight will be regrouped into a group and compete again."

At this moment, Xiao Chengcai, the second house owner, said in a deep voice.

"Okay, let's start with the first group of sixteen and eight."

As soon as the words fell, the two Xiao family warriors from the first group stepped onto the martial arts arena.

One of them is Xiao Dian, the No.1 of the younger generation of the Xiao family, and the grandson of Xiao Zhen.

And his opponent was a martial artist in the mid-stage of the fifth level of real energy, and Xiao Dian could only be blamed for his bad luck.

When the referee of the Ninth Return to Yuan Realm announced the start of the battle, Xiao Dian's figure flashed for an instant.

Bang!
With a very simple punch, his opponent was knocked off the martial arts arena before he had time to react. Xiao Dian simply defeated his opponent and advanced to the top eight.

Seeing this scene, many warriors were dumbfounded.

"Master Xiao Dian really deserves to be the No. 1 of our Xiao family's younger generation. He defeated a mid-level fifth-level true energy fighter with a single punch, and his domineering side leaked."

"Of course, Young Master Xiao Dian is the number one genius of our Xiao family's younger generation. You can see that after he defeated his opponent, he behaved calmly. This time he is definitely number one in the clan competition."

"Master Xiao Dian is so powerful, so Master Xiao Shu and Master Xiao Ji must also be very powerful."

However, Xiao Zhang saw this scene, but felt it was very ordinary.

If a martial artist at the late stage of the sixth level of Tongmai Realm cannot defeat a mid-stage martial artist of the fifth level of true energy with one punch, then Xiao Zhang would feel strange.

"The second group of sixteen and eight begins."

The seed players of the four teams are the three masters of the Xiao family plus Xiao Kai. Although Xiao Zhang is the direct descendant of the Second Household, he publicly announced that he has no intention of competing for the next Second Household Master, so the Second Household raised Xiao Kai as the heir.

In just one month, Xiao Kai's cultivation has been upgraded from the fourth level of Qi Sea Realm to the fifth level of True Qi Realm.

But Xiao Zhang could see that Xiao Kai's aura was vain, and he was obviously forcibly promoted through pills. If he met ordinary warriors of the same level, he might still be able to defeat him, but if he wanted to compete with the younger generation of geniuses from the other four major families, he would definitely die. ugly.

Xiao Kai's luck is very good, his opponent is only a martial artist at the beginning of the four-level sea of ​​energy, there is no doubt that he also defeated the enemy with one move.
