< The third watch! >
Jun Xie naturally didn't know that he had such a heaven-defying treasure in his hands. He was worried. If he returned it to the Tang family, how could he explain why this thing fell into his hands? If he didn't return it to the Tang family, what was the use of keeping it by his side? He didn't even know what this thing was, let alone its true value!
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure it out. He casually wrapped up the Xuan Dan, put it into a cold jade box, and then packed it in a golden sandalwood box. He weighed it in his hand, and then put it next to the pillow at the head of the bed. After thinking for a while, he pushed it in and pulled up a pillow towel to cover it.
This didn't mean that Jun Xie realized the value of this thing and wanted to keep it close to his body, but he had heard that the fragrance of golden sandalwood was very helpful for sleep …
In the past, there was a gentleman who bought the casket and returned the pearls, which made him laugh for a thousand years! But he didn't know if what Jun Xie did today was also …
Night fell, and the heavy rain gradually stopped.
Old Master Tang Wanli's white hair all stood up. He was really angry, and he flew into a rage!
He went to find trouble with the Li and Meng families with a belly full of anger, but when he arrived at the Li family, he was sent out with a soft knife. He went to the Meng family angrily to show off his power, and actually fulfilled his wish, causing the whole Meng family to be in a mess. But when he arrived, it started raining heavily! Seeing that he couldn't go back, Old Master Tang became more and more depressed. He simply flew into a rage at the Meng family, scolding everyone in the Meng family.
Who knew that when he was venting, his family members came to report that their house had been robbed. Old Master Tang's head suddenly buzzed, and all the blood in his body rushed to his head —
He came to find trouble with others, but his own house was immediately turned upside down by others.
He had just come here to look for trouble, but his own house was immediately turned upside down by someone else. Furthermore, it was a mess caused by someone working together from the inside and outside! Old Master Tang didn't need to ask what was missing. He already knew that it must be something important that was related to him. If it wasn't something that belonged to him, his family wouldn't have come to inform him at this critical juncture in such a heavy storm! As for his most important possession, if one were to compare the value, it would naturally be the Xuan Core!
Thinking of this, the old man held onto the possibility that it was the Xuan Core that had been stolen, so he hastily asked. As long as it wasn't the Xuan Core that had been stolen, everything else was fine. Unfortunately, what he was afraid of had come true, it was indeed his lifeblood, the Xuan Core! The old man's vision darkened and he almost fainted.
Ever since he obtained this item, Tang Wanli knew that he had obtained a treasure. As long as the younger generation diligently practiced and raised their Xuan Qi cultivation to the Earth Xuan realm, even if he had to sacrifice his old face, he could still invite a few masters of the Tian Xuan level, or even the Supreme Shen Xuan level to come and help him. With this Xuan Dan, he could push his younger generation to the realm of the Tian Xuan level!
That way, as long as there was a Tian Xuan level master in charge, the Tang family's glory would at least be fine as long as the Tian Xuan level master was still alive! But he was already old. Even if he used this Xuan Dan to raise his cultivation, he might not be able to live much longer. Only when he reached the realm of the Supreme Shen Xuan could it be possible to prolong his life. But he definitely did not have that talent. Even if he relied on this rare treasure, there was no hope!
Of his two sons, one was a good-for-nothing, and the other was quite talented, but his talent was that he disliked martial arts and preferred literature. His Qi cultivation stopped at the ninth level, and he didn't even rush to the Silver level. Although it was smooth sailing in the officialdom, it was not a good feeling to not have a top expert to hold the fort, and the taste of life and death was in the hands of others.
Although civil and military affairs were under the jurisdiction of His Majesty the Emperor, as long as there was a strong Tian Xuan level master in the family, even if the Emperor wanted to deal with him, he would have to think carefully!
Grandfather Tang had no other choice but to settle for the next best thing and place all his hopes on his grandson. Finally, Grandfather Tang was gratified to find out that there were a few in his grandson's generation who did not disappoint him. Aside from the eldest, Tang Yuan, who did not focus on proper work, the other three grandsons all revered strength and were more diligent in their cultivation of profound energy. This greatly comforted Grandfather Tang's heart. He hoped that within ten years, one of his grandchildren would be able to enter the Earth Xuan realm. Furthermore, his own body was still in good health. No matter what, he could still fight for another ten years for the Tang Family.
If this Xuan Dan was used on his grandchildren, the effect would be better than using it on his sons. If everything went smoothly, within at least a hundred years, the Tang family would be safe, no matter if it was in the imperial court or outside. Who would have thought that after waiting for so many years, painstakingly gathering some supplementary medicinal ingredients, and his grandchildren had successfully broken through to the Silver level at such a young age. Just a few more years and they would be able to meet all the requirements, the most important thing would be stolen at this critical juncture!
Tang Yuan was like a fox exploiting the tiger's might, holding a million and five hundred thousand taels of silver in his hand. He grabbed Meng Haizou's collar and insisted on redeeming the accessory and the precious jade on the spot. How could Meng Haizou take it out? He kept bowing and saying good things, so anxious that beads of sweat appeared on his face.
Just when he was at his wit's end, Old Master Tang issued an order to return home immediately. He kicked Fatty who was still chattering, and was about to leave anxiously. Before leaving, Tang Yuan roared fiercely, "If I don't hand over the sword and the precious jade within three days, I will go to His Majesty the Emperor to reason things out." This sentence scared Meng Haizou so much that he almost pissed his pants.
Of course, the price for Tang Yuan's words was to be kicked twice by Old Master Tang. He rolled back and forth like a rubber ball.
Rushing home in a hurry, Old Master Tang flew into a rage. All the elite guards of the Tang family were sent out to conduct a massive search! Old Master Tang ordered them to preserve the sixteen corpses that were shot in his house and the six people who died mysteriously at the street corner. Other than having people identify them every day, he also drew pictures and distributed them through the Ministry of Justice. He offered a reward of one hundred thousand taels of silver in order to obtain the origins of these people!
As for the few servants who had escaped from his house, he doubled the bounty on them. He vowed to find the mastermind behind all of this!
Within a day, the capital was shaken.
And three days later, the world was shaken!
At the same time, Li Youran's Li family did not make any moves on the surface. They looked like they were watching the show, but secretly, they were also swift and decisive. Li Youran strictly interrogated everyone who knew about this matter. If there was even the slightest suspicion, they would be tortured. All kinds of torture methods were endless. She would rather kill a thousand wrongly than let one go! She had to find out who was going against her! In just two days, several people had died because they could not bear the torture! At the same time, the Li family's secret forces began to take action, asking around and infiltrating.
All the big families in the capital vaguely sensed that this was very unusual. They took strict precautions to protect themselves and avoid getting involved in this big whirlpool. At the same time, they sent people to ask around to find out what was going on with the Tang family.
For a moment, the whole capital was in turmoil and undercurrents were surging. The prison cells of the Ministry of Justice were suddenly full! All the forces of the Tang family were mobilized, causing an earthquake in the capital. Everyone was in danger.
There was no news for a long time. Old Master Tang Wanli was burning with anxiety and flew into a rage every day. Li Youran looked gentle on the surface, but the coldness in the depths of her eyes was like two poisonous cobras. Whoever she stared at, the lightest would be a life, the heaviest would be the death of the whole family!
However, Jun Xie, who had really benefited from this, did not know anything. He was still leisurely wandering in his own house. At night, he hugged the golden sandalwood sandalwood to sleep. He sighed. It turned out that it was really good for sleep …
In his mind, he was still wondering why he was thinking about his widowed sister-in-law …
