Chapter 158: Chapter 127 Family Treasure
Translator: 549690339
Having a treasure at home and someone coming to take it away, no one would agree to it.
Moreover, the Clear-Blood Spirit Snake is the root of the Guo Family’s generations of wealth, ensuring the family produces top martial artists in each generation. Without it, the Guo Family would instantly fall from a first-class martial arts family to an ordinary martial arts family. This lifeblood would not be handed over even more so.
But who is Li Xiong?
He’s a heroic figure who dares to rebel, and if you say you won’t hand it over, will he just give up?
So on the same day the Guo Family refused, Li Xiong led tens of thousands of troops to besiege this martial arts family.
In the end, hundreds of people from the Guo Family, including the head of the family, who was a first-class martial artist, were all killed in the chaos. All the wealth of the Guo Family, including the Qingxue Spirit Snake, the family’s martial arts techniques, farmland, and stored money, were plundered.
In the end, only Guo Yunshan and his siblings, who were traveling outside, narrowly escaped.
But even after the narrow escape, Li Xiong didn’t let them go.
Just like earlier, the assassins sent by the Shu Thieves had tracked down Guo Yunshan’s whereabouts and planned an assassination attempt.
If Zhou Qing hadn’t been traveling with Guo Yunshan and the two of them hadn’t worked together to deal with these assassins, this young master from the Guo Family would have been killed.
“Even if I don’t go back, that thief Li Xiong won’t let me go.”
Guo Yunshan spoke of Li Xiong with red eyes and gritted teeth, “Today, he can send people to assassinate me, but if it doesn’t work, he will send more people tomorrow. Can I hide for a day and not hide for a lifetime?”
Having a similar family tragedy, Zhou Qing empathized with Guo Yunshan’s situation, but still advised, “Li Thief’s actions are going against the orders, and he dares to usurp the title of emperor, the court will not let him go.
How can a mere province resist the world?
There won’t be two years left, and the court will send troops to attack him, and by the time the celestial soldiers arrive, Li Thief will be destroyed.”
Because his own master and his good friend were officials of the court, Zhou Qing, unlike ordinary martial artists in Jianghu, had some goodwill towards the Da Yue court.contemporary romance
Therefore, unlike those who enjoyed the affairs of the Jianghu, Zhou Qing tended to wait for the court’s army to crusade against Li Xiong.
This attitude surprised Guo Yunshan, but he didn’t waver and resolutely said, “Li Xiong killed my entire clan, and took away my centuries-old foundation, this hatred can’t coexist under the heavens.
And even if the court wants to crusade against him, it will take at least two or three years to destroy him.
I can’t wait that long.”
Guo Yunshan, with bloodshot eyes and a ferocious expression, said, “Li Thief is brutal, massacring my fellow martial artists in Xichuan. It’s not just my Guo Family that has been destroyed, and there are many others like me scattered around.
I plan to return to Xichuan, contact the patriotic martial artists, and call on everyone to unite and resist Li Thief.
With the power of many heroes assembled, we can surely eliminate this villain.”
Zhou Qing remained silent.
Hatred filled the heart of Guo Yunshan, leaving no room for anything else.
Seeing this, Zhou Qing couldn’t help but wonder if, without meeting his master, he would have ended up like Guo Yunshan, blinded by hatred and lost on his path.
‘It’s been more than two years since I left my master, I wonder how he’s doing now?’
Zhou Qing thought of his master and felt a sudden longing.
Initially, he chose to leave his master and venture into Jianghu to seek a faster breakthrough in his realm.
But over the past two years, although he experienced many things and witnessed the danger and magnificence of Jianghu, the breakthrough he sought never materialized.
Even now, he had heard no news of Divine Blood Variants, let alone rumors of ordinary rare spiritual medicines.
‘However, my cultivation has progressed a bit over the past two years, as I’ve opened up a third meridian and become a third-rate practitioner.’ Zhou Qing laughed at himself.
His grand ambitions had led to this outcome, and he couldn’t help but wonder what kind of situation he would be in when he returned to see his master.
‘No, maybe I wouldn’t even dare to go back. Without achieving anything, how could I have the face to see my master?’
Zhou Qing felt lost and didn’t know which path to take.
But at that moment, Guo Yunshan looked at him and said earnestly, “Brother Zhou, I know you’ve been looking for the Divine Blood Variant that can increase your cultivation. In fact, my Guo Family has such an item.”
Guo Yunshan quickly explained for fear that Zhou Qing would misunderstand, “I’m not talking about the Qingxue Spirit Snake that was taken by Li Xiong. In reality, as a millennial aristocratic family, how could my Guo Family have only one residence in the family territory?
Jianghu is unpredictable, and feuds never end.
Even us millennial aristocratic families can’t guarantee safety for all generations.
So our ancestors had the foresight to build many other safe havens in various places in Xichuan as a backup for descendants to escape and hide.
Within these safe havens are some elixirs refined from the divine blood of the Clear-Blood Spirit Snake that were stored in advance.
If Brother Zhou is willing to help me return to Xichuan, I can make a decision and share some of these elixirs with you to help you achieve a breakthrough.
I can’t promise more than that, but it shouldn’t be a problem to ensure that Brother Zhou reaches the second-rate level.
So, Brother Zhou, are you willing to join me in taking this chance for wealth?”
