The first thousand one hundred and sixty-one chapters
Xue Shahou came from a humble background, so he actually didn't care about the memorial tablets of his ancestors.
But after all, he was a marquis, and it was necessary to show off to others. If the ancestral temple was breached, he would really have no shame in going out anymore - how could he ignore those mocking looks?
However, the fact that the ancestral temple was attacked was not a big deal. What made him even more heartbroken was that his brother-in-law was dead!
As mentioned before, although the Blood Sand Marquis is powerful, he is a complete new noble. There are only three Jade Immortals in the clan, and one of them is a clan relative who is as far away as possible. If he hadn't risen, none of the clan clan relatives would have known it.
Just glance at him, let alone come to vote.
Even this distant relative was deposed by Chen Taizhong in the Netherworld. The other was his closer cousin, fifty years younger than him, and guarded the Blood Sand Castle.
Together with Xue Shahou himself, he had a total of six real men in his hands. Five of them went on an expedition to hunt down Chen Taizhong. There was only one real man left to guard the fort, which of course could only be his brother-in-law.
But just today, his brother-in-law was beheaded. He was killed in his home, and not even his body was left.
In the Zheng family, he is the only one left now!
This kind of pain is really inexplicable to outsiders. I don’t know when another Jade Immortal will appear in the Zheng family.
More than a hundred years ago, the Zheng family once had an extremely outstanding son. He was promoted to a high-level immortal at the age of five hundred. Not only did he have a great possibility of realizing the truth, but he also had the possibility of proving it. However, that son was performing a mission.
Died very strangely.
Most people believe that this is the work of the government, and people from the Left Prime Minister also say so. However, Xue Shahou analyzed that this matter may also have something to do with the World Business Alliance - the World Business Alliance belongs to the Left Prime Minister, but they are in the same camp.
There is also a problem of competition for favor, isn’t it?
Xueshahou no longer wants to think about these things, because it is meaningless. He only knows that now he is the only Jade Immortal of the Zheng family, and endless sadness fills his heart.
However, God was still unwilling to let him go. Then, new news came: the real Yu Bao who was knocked unconscious by the little Qilin appeared. The essence and blood card was broken.
Master Yu was the first person who tried to save the Marquis Mansion from the crisis. He was the foster brother of the Blood Sand Marquis and a middle-level Jade Immortal. He was one of the most important pillars of the Marquis Mansion's forces.
This man was recuperating more than 20 miles outside the Marquis's Mansion. Because the war was tight at the time, the Blood Sand Marquis could not take him back to the Marquis' Mansion, but now he was killed. How could this make him feel so embarrassed?
After Xue Shahou heard the news, he didn't say a word.
He just walked up to the wall of the castle and looked in that direction silently. He was silent for a long time before he asked. "Master Yang, I want to snatch back the body of my sworn brother, and I will reward you with thousands of supreme spirits. Are you willing to go and join us?"
"
"This is impossible," Yang Zhenren flatly refused. Although it was only more than twenty miles, if Yuxian went all out, it would only take three or four breaths. Even if the search for the body was included, it would only take more than ten breaths, but he really didn't want to
Earn this money.
One thought of life, one thought of death, between life and death. Twenty miles is really too much, and often life or death is determined by a flicker.
Xue Shahou looked at him deeply, turned around and left without saying anything.
The repair work was carried out in a busy manner. Three hours was really terrible. After about a stick of incense, someone came to report, no, even the base of the formation was damaged a lot, and the damage was very complete. The mansion must extract more.
More than a hundred people assisted.
Xuesha Hou waved his hand and said, "It's done. As long as the repair can be completed on time, adding more manpower is not a problem."
After busy repairing it for half an hour, watching the formation return to its original state bit by bit, someone suddenly shouted, but it was the fairy who was checking the steering wheel, "It's broken, and that guy is gone again!"
"What are you shouting for!" Hou Xuesha was furious for a moment. He raised his hand and struck the immortal with a palm, causing him to vomit blood and fly backwards. He stretched out his hand again and summoned the directional disk for a closer look.
The bright spot that represented Chen Taizhong was indeed missing again!
Xue Shahou's heart sank, but his face showed no expression. He raised his head to look at everyone and said in a deep voice, "Why are you panic? Get to work!"
But the shouting finally spread, and everyone heard that Chen Taizhong disappeared again. Although their hearts were still filled with grief and anger, they couldn't help but feel a deep chill: Is that guy going to come back again?
Since they were nervous, their movements would inevitably go out of shape. Although they saw four real people and soldiers patrolling in the air, such as Xueshahou, everyone could not hide their fear. The speed of repairing the formation was inevitably affected.
When the Marquis of Blood Sand saw this, he really wanted to kill the immortal guarding the steering wheel with one palm. However, now that the combat power of the Marquis Mansion had dropped sharply, and the immortal was already a pretty good fighter, he couldn't do this.
So he asked coldly, "How far was he from this castle when he disappeared?"
While vomiting blood, the immortal replied tremblingly, "The distance... is about eighty miles."
The Marquis of Xuesha sighed softly when he heard this, and spoke with difficulty, "Notify...the Tianfeng County Sheriff's Mansion, that the Marquis Mansion was attacked by the crazy Xiaoxiao, causing heavy casualties, and soldiers are invited to come for reinforcements."
The mistake was that he really didn't want to do it unless he had to. The majestic Marquis actually needed to seek protection from the government soldiers.
Most of the territory of the Marquis Mansion is in Tianfeng County, and the Blood Sand Marquis is used to being domineering, and the relationship with the local officials is extremely bad.
In fact, even if he wants to repair the relationship, he has to consider what the leftist prime minister will think of him, so making the relationship worse with the government is a necessary choice for him.
But after all, they are in the same place and have certain interactions with each other. Therefore, some cultivators at the Sheriff's Mansion have a deep friendship with the Marquis' Mansion, and the Sheriff himself is very respectful to the Marquis' Mansion.
During major festivals, we always come to visit you.
The county guard is a middle-level immortal. When he visits, he keeps his posture very low. If there is a dinner party, he does not go to the main table. Instead, he honestly chooses to eat in the side hall, without any regard for the fact that he is in charge of a county - the jurisdiction.
He is unlucky enough to have such a force as the Bloody Sand Hou in him.
Obviously, he will never be happy with this.
Sure enough, when I sent a message asking for help, it was like nothing, and there was not even a response.
Xue Shahou's face became more and more ugly. He gritted his teeth and said, "Ask the Master for help. If there are no soldiers, I, Mr. Zheng, can only use my own son!"
It is a big taboo to mobilize troops without authorization, but at this stage, how can he care about the big taboos and minor taboos?
Before he finished speaking, someone could be heard making a noise.
It turned out that an arm covered with scales suddenly appeared in the sky and slapped the Blood Sand Castle hard.
"How dare Shu Zian bully me!" Hou Xuesha was furious, his eyes widened, his face turned red, his mouth opened, and a red light spurted out, "Duh!"
This red light was transformed by his natal essence and blood. It was a magical power that he had not fully mastered. It faced the Qilin Arm heavily.
Although Chunliang's Qilin Arm is said to be a gift, it is essentially similar to a supernatural power. Although it is just a shadow, it was blocked by the red light and then hit the city wall heavily.
The power of the Qilin Arm was reduced by at least 70%, but the city wall was no longer protected by a defensive formation. Although it was strong, it could not withstand the blow. It suddenly collapsed with a rumble, and wailing sounds could be heard one after another.
The Kirin Arm succeeded in one blow, but instead of continuing to strike up and down, it disappeared immediately.
"Is it injured?" Everyone turned their heads and looked at the Marquis.
The corner of Xue Shahou's mouth twitched, and he shook his head slowly, his heart becoming heavier and heavier, "Inform the commander immediately!"
More than twenty breaths later, the Qilin Arm reappeared, but it was on the other side of the city wall. Although the Blood Sand Hou's magical power was amazing, it still could not stop the opponent, and the city wall collapsed again.
There were fewer injured people this time, but Xueshahou still couldn't resist the anger in his heart. He turned his head and glared at Master Yang, "Why don't you see Master Yang using magical powers?"
Yang Zhenren rolled his eyelids and replied nonchalantly, "My magical power consumes a lot of spiritual energy, and it is ineffective against Qilin."
"Hmph," Xue Shahou snorted coldly, hating this person even more in his heart.
Master Yang was also angry in his heart and asked me about my supernatural powers. Am I familiar with you? I wonder if it is taboo to ask like this?
He has developed two kinds of magical powers. One is to control the secondary magical power, which is ineffective against Qilin, which ignores the laws of space. The other magical power... is still ineffective against Qilin, and this is his trump card, which he refuses to reveal to others.
Not long after, the Qilin Arm appeared again. After the city wall of this attack collapsed, it heavily pressed against a formation base. One of the cultivators who repaired it was killed and two were injured, and... they had to start all over again.
Xueshahou was extremely anxious, but he had no means to deal with it. Moreover, he sprayed out his life essence and blood three times in a row, which also caused some damage to him. He became furious and said, "If you have the guts to come out and fight to the death, what kind of hero can you be if you hurt someone with a hidden arrow?"
"Master Hou," someone followed and whispered.
He looked back and saw that it was the angel holding the steering wheel. He couldn't help but frown and said impatiently, "What's the matter?"
"Chen Taizhong, he..." Tianxian replied in a low voice.
At this moment, a long laugh was heard, a long knife appeared in the air, and it fiercely swept towards the two formation bases, "Die!"
The two formations collapsed as soon as they were established, and blood and flesh flew everywhere.
Chen Taizhong succeeded with one blow, and without saying a word, he turned around and fired away, laughing loudly, "A bunch of weaklings are here to chase you!"
At this moment, the follow-up words of the Tianxian came, "He appeared again."
"Bastard!" Hou Xuesha was so angry that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven. He hit him with a heavy palm again, "Wouldn't you have told me earlier?"
"I...I dare not speak loudly..." Tianxian spat out a mouthful of blood, fell heavily to the ground, and passed out.
The annoyance that Xueshahou felt was beyond description. Although he had four real people and more than forty soldiers on his side, he really couldn't stop these two guys from coming and going freely.
If this continues, it will be impossible for the defensive formation to be repaired within three hours. When the soul-winding thread on Chen Taizhong disappears, it will be extremely difficult to defend against this person.
"How is your contact with the master?" He shouted, but he was a little suspicious in his heart: By what means did Chen Taizhong cover the aura of the soul-circling silk? (To be continued)
