After the news of the Zhang Family being destroyed spread in Shanyang Prefecture, there was not much of a stir.
Compared to a small place like Wei County, the competition in the martial arts world of the Northern Yan Kingdom was far more intense. It was normal for families to be destroyed and to seek revenge. Back then, the Zhang Family was able to rise in the Shanyang Prefecture by stepping on the corpses of others.
People did not know much about the Zhang Family being destroyed. They only knew from some of the surviving servants of the Zhang Family that the other party was called Chu Xiu and that he had gotten in touch with Zhang Baichen and Lin Xinyu.
When they thought up to there, everyone couldn't help but shake their heads in their hearts. They thought to themselves that this woman was truly a femme fatale. If it wasn't for this matter, Chu Xiu would definitely not have any contact with the Zhang Clan.
At this time, after Chu Xiu left Shanyang Prefecture, he prepared to go to the vicinity of Lu Yang Mountain and wait for the ruins to open.
The incident at Shanyang Prefecture was just a small interlude to him, so Chu Xiu did not pay much attention to it.
After leaving Shanyang Prefecture, Chu Xiu opened the secret box. Inside was a cultivation method. It was the secret cultivation method of the ancient demonic sect, the Blood River Sect, Piercing Sun and Moon!
At the auction, the auctioneer of the Tao Family said that the secret box was 70% real and 30% fake. In fact, he was talking about the origin of the secret box. 70% of it was left behind by the Blood River Sect. As for what was inside, no one could be sure.
Cultivation methods and martial skills had always been more expensive than elixirs and the like. This was common sense. If this seventy percent probability could be confirmed to be a cultivation method, then this secret box wouldn't be auctioned at all. Even if it was auctioned, it wouldn't be calculated by silver, but by gold or purple gold.
The Piercing Sun and Moon was a very strange inner cultivation method of the Blood River Sect. It originated from the demonic path, but it was not completely demonic.
The Piercing Sun and Moon originated from the saying, "Heaven and Earth are heartless and treat all things as straw dogs."
All life in the world was death. As for the various aspects of death, regardless of whether it was natural or not, it was all in the word "kill."
When people kill people, it is called "kill." When the heavens punish people, it is called "evil."
The Piercing Sun and Moon could condense one's own killing intent and explode with boundless power. A higher level could even condense the Piercing Sun and Moon with extraordinary power.
One's own killing intent and the baleful energy between heaven and earth could be used as the power of 'Connecting the Sun and Moon'. The righteous path's martial artists could also condense their own righteous energy. Naturally, it could also be used as' Connecting the Sun and Moon '. That was why later generations would evaluate this cultivation method as very mystical. It could be used to cultivate the demonic path, but also the righteous path.
The grade of Piercing Sun and Moon was Fourth Revolution. In Northern Yan, Chu Xiu knew that there were quite a few cultivation methods that were suitable for him to practice now and had not fallen into the hands of experts. There were even Fifth Revolution and even Sixth Revolution cultivation methods. He could try to seize them, but with his current strength, the probability of success was a little small, not more than 50%.
The reason why Chu Xiu chose to auction the Piercing Sun and Moon in Shanyang Prefecture was not only that this cultivation method was easy to get and was on the way, but also that the Piercing Sun and Moon could be the icing on the cake for Chu Xiu.
In fact, this cultivation method was not too outstanding in the original plot. It could only be said to be below the middle level. Even its effect was much weaker than that of the Xiantian Skill, which could help the cultivators salvage their foundation.
But for the current Chu Xiu, this cultivation method was very useful.
The Xiantian Skill was indeed very powerful in salvaging the foundation. Otherwise, Chu Xiu could not have reached the Innate Realm.
But in the battle, the characteristic of the Xiantian Skill was that the internal force was strong. There were not many skills to use it, and the explosive power was not enough.
After cultivating the Lunisolar Piercing Spirit, Chu Xiu would be able to make use of its characteristics to increase his explosive power. It wouldn't be considered a timely help, but at the very least, it would be the icing on the cake. It would allow Chu Xiu to have fewer shortcomings.
After getting this cultivation method, Chu Xiu went to Lüyang Mountain while practicing it.
At this time, in the direction of Shanyang Prefecture, on a handsome white horse, a handsome warrior in a blue robe, with a quaint bronze sword on his back, rode slowly into the city.
This man was Zhang Baitao, the eldest son of the Zhang family. In his early years, he joined the Bashan Sword Sect in the land of Bashan and Shu in the Western Chu Kingdom. He spent most of his time practicing in the Bashan Sword Sect and did not return home once in a few years. After all, the land of Bashan and Shu was a little far from the Northern Yan. With his speed, it would take him two or three months to go back and forth, which delayed his practice too much.
Looking at the familiar streets in Shanyang Prefecture, Zhang Baitao could not help but smile.
He had not seen his father and brother for several years. This time he came back, he prepared a lot of gifts for them.
His father's martial talent was not very good, and it was estimated that he would stop at the Primordial Realm in his life. So he specially used the merits in the sect to exchange some life-prolonging elixirs for his father.
As for his brother, he also knew that his brother was not a material for martial arts, and his character was a little naughty. But everything in Jianghu was still based on strength. So this time, Zhang Baitao specially asked his master to promise him to give his brother the internal force that the Bashan Sword Sect gave to the outer sect disciples to practice, so that his brother could practice faster.
In the past, Zhang Songling built the Zhang family from scratch. Different from the intrigues of other aristocratic families, the atmosphere of the Zhang family was very good.
In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Songling was a greedy old fox, but in Zhang Baitao's heart, he was a good father who worked his heart out for the family. For the sake of his own cultivation, he exchanged the money that he had painstakingly calculated into cultivation resources for him, just so that he could become a talent.
His younger brother, Zhang Baichen, was naughty, but when he was young, he left cultivation resources to his older brother. He did not compete or become strong. This made Zhang Baitao very touched, and he always took good care of his younger brother.
Zhang Baitao even prepared to tell his father that he did not want the Zhang family and would leave it to his younger brother. As long as he stayed in the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, the Zhang family would be fine.
But at this time, a young master walked out of the restaurant. Seeing this person, Zhang Baitao got off his horse and greeted, "Brother Tao, I haven't seen you for many years. Are you well?"
The young master stilled when he saw Zhang Baitao, as though he was frightened. He stammered in greeting, "So it is Brother Zhang. Aren't you cultivating in the Ba Mountain Sword Sect? Why have you come back?"
Zhang Baitao was puzzled by this person's behavior. He was Tao Yi, the young master of the Tao family of the Mountain Sun Prefecture. They were acquainted since childhood. Why did he look so strange when he saw Zhang Baitao?
"I have not returned home for many years. I miss my father and younger brother. Coincidentally, my seclusion in the Ba Mountain Sword Sect has reached a bottleneck, so I told my master that I would go out for a walk and relax. I am preparing to return home."
Tao Yi gave an unnatural smile and said, "In that case, Brother Zhang, hurry home. I will not disturb you."
As he spoke, Tao Yi ran away as though his feet were smeared with oil.
Seeing Tao Yi's actions, Zhang Baitao felt even more wrong.
The two were acquaintances, and Tao Yi was not an idiot. He should have said some polite words, right? He had left the Mountain Sun Prefecture for so many years. Now that he had returned, the other should at least say something to welcome him. Why did he run away so quickly?
Thinking of this, Zhang Baitao felt a faint haze in his heart. He immediately mounted his horse and rode towards the Zhang family.
But Tao Yi was faster than Zhang Baitao. He had to tell Tao Zongwang and the other major forces of the Mountain Sun Prefecture as soon as possible.
The death of Zhang Songling and his son naturally had nothing to do with them, but the problem was that during this period of time, several major forces were still slowly digesting and distributing the Zhang family's property. Now that the son of the Zhang family had returned and saw their ugly table manners, how could Zhang Baitao not be angry?
If Zhang Baitao was an ordinary person, it would be fine. But Zhang Baitao was a connate warrior, and he was an inner sect disciple of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect. Although the Ba Mountain Sword Sect was far away in Sichuan, it was still one of the seven sects and eight schools. If these small forces bullied the disciples of the Ba Mountain Sword Sect, they would not be able to bear it if they sent an expert to seek justice.
At first, they thought that Zhang Baitao had not returned to the Northern Yan for so many years, and no one knew when he would come back again. So they were relieved to swallow the Zhang family's property. Anyway, after a long time, who would remember what happened in the past? But who would have thought that Zhang Baitao would return to the Northern Yan at this time.
At this time, Zhang Baitao rode his horse to the Zhang Family. The usually lively Zhang Family was now tightly shut. When Zhang Baitao pushed the door open, what appeared in front of him was unexpectedly white silk flower knots hung all over the courtyard. Several loyal collateral relatives of the Zhang Family were wearing mourning clothes and had set up a mourning hall in the courtyard. They were adding paper money into the brazier.
Seeing this, Zhang Baitao's body suddenly swayed. The collateral family members were also shocked by Zhang Baitao. When they came to themselves, they hurriedly cried, "Young Master! You're finally back! "
