Chapter 140 Remnants of the Former Dynasty!
Just as Xiao Bieli was consolidating his cultivation in the deep mountains of Manzhou.
Three more figures appeared along the path to Manzhou, heading towards the deep mountains of Manzhou.
Two elderly people and one young person!
The youngest one, Zhou Tong, looked to be only twenty-five or twenty-six years old, but his martial arts skills had already reached the late stage of the fifth rank.
The other two elders were a second-grade Celestial Being and a first-grade Thunder Tribulation Realm cultivator!
Such a being, if placed in the martial arts world, would absolutely be a force to be reckoned with.
But now, even seasoned veterans who have been traveling the world for years cannot discern the identities of these three people.
Ahead of Zhou Tong, a strange beast that looked somewhat like a squirrel darted swiftly through the forest, with the three of them following closely behind.
"Fortunately, Qiu Yuan scattered scent powder along the way; otherwise, even if we had come to search, it would have been very difficult to find the Qin family members in the deep mountains and forests!"
Zhou Tong moved nimbly through the woods, letting out a soft sigh.
Qiu Yuan was one of their men, and he had been staying in the Eastern Depot all along, just to find this treasure trove.
Although this is just a fake vault, when it was set up, a divine weapon that holds the secret of the real treasure was mistakenly left inside.
Moreover, the mastermind behind the fake warehouse was killed in the pursuit of the Great Qian Dynasty.
They had been searching for the location of the fake treasure for years. Although they found two incomplete treasure maps, they searched the desert depicted on the maps countless times, but to no avail.
Fortunately, Qiu Yuan obtained some clues.
A few days ago,
They received Qiu Yuan's message and rushed over overnight.
'Chirp chirp chirp!'
The squirrel-like beast circled continuously near the tree where Xiao Bieli had killed Qiu Yuan, its cries echoing through the air.
"Hmm?" Zhou Tong frowned slightly, looked at the first-rank expert behind him, and said:
"Old Yu, the scent-smelling rats seem to have lost their way!"
Old Yu frowned and shook his head, saying:
"The smell of blood!"
With one step, Old Yu appeared at the spot where Xiao Bieli had killed Qiu Yuan, the deputy commander of the Eastern Depot.
"Splitting him in two!" Looking at the corpse on the ground, cut in two and mangled beyond recognition by wild beasts, Old Yu shook his head and said:
"It was that prodigy from the Blood-Clad Pavilion who made the move!"
"It seems the Blood-Clad Tower has also set its sights on that fake warehouse!"
Upon hearing Old Yu's voice, Zhou Tong and Chen Liu followed and saw the unrecognizable corpse on the ground.
Although Qiu Yuan had been dead for several days, the mark of a single cut in the middle was still far too obvious.
Moreover, Qiu Yuan himself was a late-stage second-rank Celestial Realm expert, and the only person in the world capable of splitting him in two with a single strike was Xiao Bieli.
"The Flying Rainbow Blade is the key; it must not fall into the hands of the Blood-Clad Tower!" Zhou Tong frowned deeply.
I originally thought that this time it would be easy to deal with the small Qin family.
But when it comes to Xiao Bieli, the "Demon Blade" of the Blood-Clad Tower, it's a different story!
This man, who had recently killed a Dragon Guard of the Great Qian Dynasty, was a first-rank expert, but he had not yet survived the tribulation of lightning and might not be a match for the Demon Blade Xiao Bieli.
But the Flying Rainbow Blade is too important to be lost!
Old Yu shook his head and said:
"no need to worry!"
"Now that the imperial court has taken action against the Blood-Clad Tower, things are going very badly for them."
“We have no personal grudges with the Blood-Clad Tower, but we do have a common enemy, so there may be opportunities for cooperation.”
"Moreover, according to news from the imperial court, Xuanjizi, Eunuch Tian who serves the dog emperor, and that old bastard Ouyang Jingde are all heading towards Manzhou. I wasn't sure what they were doing here, but now it seems they're after Xiao Bieli!"
"Xiao Bieli probably doesn't know this news yet."
"This time, perhaps we can try to win over Xiao Bieli!"
"Although Liu Jingfeng's martial arts skills are extremely high, the Blood Robe Tower lacks truly powerful successors, and Liu Jingfeng's fate is unknown!"
"Xiao Bieli's talent is no less than Liu Jingfeng's, and may even be superior. If we offer him great benefits and bestow upon him a first-grade divine skill, we can win him over. Once Xiao Bieli grows up, we can have a better chance of counterattacking the imperial court in the future!"
Zhou Tong nodded.
"If we can win over Xiao Bieli, that would certainly be a good thing."
"Without Liu Jingfeng, the Blood-Clad Tower would be utterly vulnerable before the imperial court!"
"If Xiao Bieli is sensible, he shouldn't refuse our invitation..."
Zhou Tong's unfinished words stuck in his throat.
Not far from them, on a tree branch, stood a young man dressed in an ill-fitting blue robe, carrying a knife on his back and a sharp sword at his waist, looking somewhat out of place.
"Xiao Bieli?"
Old Yu's gaze narrowed slightly, and his tone carried a hint of doubt.
“It’s your father!” Xiao Bieli said calmly.
He rested by the lake for a few days. His cooking skills were mediocre, and he didn't like being alone deep in the mountains, so he returned the way he came.
However, before they had gone very far, they encountered three more people who appeared to be remnants of the previous dynasty.
"cough!"
Old Master Yu was so angry at Xiao Bieli's words that he almost couldn't hold back and was about to take action. After all, he was a first-rank expert, a respected figure wherever he was.
But thinking of Xiao Bieli's method of killing the Dragon Guard with a single strike, he could only forcefully suppress the thoughts in his heart.
"Why must you be hostile towards us, Master Xiao?" Old Yu forced a smile and said.
"We all have a common enemy!"
"Moreover, the Blood-Clad Tower has now been targeted by the imperial court. Even if it is not completely destroyed this time, it is destined to suffer a great loss of strength."
"Has Master Xiao ever considered switching allegiance?"
"Although my Great Zhou is not what it used to be, its strength is definitely above that of the Blood-Clad Tower."
Zhou Tong quickly replied:
"Indeed, there are quite a few of our people among the imperial court's experts!"
"Among the nine factions and six gangs, there are some that we have helped to rise to power!"
"My Zhou family ancestor was a powerful figure who had survived six tribulations!"
"As long as you are willing to join my Great Zhou, we can give you even the most rare and powerful martial arts skills. With your talent, you will be able to survive at least three or four tribulations in the future!"
Great Zhou?
They really are remnants of the previous dynasty.
'Pfft! '
Upon hearing Zhou Tong's words, Xiao Bieli scoffed:
"If you really had the ability, you wouldn't need to waste your breath talking to me here!"
"They've already gone to fight the imperial court!"
After speaking, Xiao Bieli took out a small divine weapon dagger from the fake vault in his sleeve and said calmly:
"Judging from your tone just now, you were looking for this?"
