"Uncle Wang, why are you here?" Xia He was pleasantly surprised when he saw the silver-haired old man at the door.
"When the Xia family received news of your disappearance, I followed the clues you left behind and came here!" The silver-haired old man walked in and smiled, "But I'm still a little late!"
"You're not late!" Xia He smiled, "You came at the right time. I was just worried that no one would escort me back!"
"Young Master, if possible, I advise you not to go back first!" The silver-haired old man's expression turned serious, "On the day you disappeared, the Xia family's situation became turbulent. Many people are watching. If you go back now, even if you can gather your father's old subordinates, you'll become a target for everyone. If you're not careful, you'll die in the Xia family!"
"I advise you to stay outside for a while and see the situation clearly before you go back and take action!"
"How chaotic is the Xia family now?" Xia He's expression turned serious.
"It's very chaotic. Various factions are thinking of ways to fight for your father's position. Even the Qi, Ji, Yin and Mo families are involved. I estimate that it will take at least a month or two to stabilize the situation!" The silver-haired old man said.
Xia He fell silent, then said, "Alright, I'll take a look first. Once I've seen it clearly, I'll go back and think of a plan!"
"Good!" The silver-haired old man smiled, then he seemed to remember something and asked, "Oh right, Young Master, where are Xia Wenxuan and the others? Why haven't I heard any news of them since I chased them to Lingnan? "
"They're all dead!" Xia He said softly.
"Dead? Who did it? "The silver-haired old man was stunned.
He knew Xia He's strength very well. Xia Wenxuan was naturally no match for Xia He in a one-on-one fight, but if there were thirty to forty Wind Group members, Xia He had no choice but to run for his life.
Now that he heard Xia He say that Xia Wenxuan and the Wind Group were all dead, the silver-haired old man was very surprised. Who could have helped Xia He?
"A nameless rogue cultivator who happened to pass by!" Xia He thought of Xiao Fan. He then smiled and said, "It's all Xia Wenxuan's fault for being reckless and wanting to silence him. That's why they brought death upon themselves, and I was able to escape! "
"Then we can only blame Xia Wenxuan for being blind!" The silver-haired old man shook his head. "Although it's hard for a loose cultivator to stand out in the cultivation world, there are still some experts with terrifying strength occasionally. If you provoke them, the price you have to pay is death!"
Xia He nodded, but just as he was about to say something, his face suddenly turned pale, and he couldn't help but cough up a large mouthful of blood!
"You've been poisoned?" The silver-haired old man's expression changed when he smelled the stench of the blood Xia He spat out.
"Yes, Meng Yao poisoned my heart!" Xia He smiled bitterly.
"Poison of the heart? Damn it! "The silver-haired old man heard this. Immediately, he said angrily, "For the sake of her future, she even dared to poison her own fiancé. I'll inform Old Man Zhang right now. We must kill this vicious bitch!"
"Don't worry, keep him for now. I'll look for her personally when I get back to the Xia Family!" Xia He stopped the silver-haired old man and said softly. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "The key problem now is how to detoxify the poison!"
"To detoxify the poison of the heart, we need the Nine-Colored Flower, but this thing …" The silver-haired old man suddenly frowned. But soon he relaxed again, "Got it, the Lingnan Cultivator Assembly will be held in three days. There should be a Nine-Colored Flower on the second day of the assembly. We can buy it then we can detoxify the poison in your body! "
"Okay!" Xia He immediately smiled.
"You rest first, I'll go to the Lingnan Medicine Sect branch and ask them to buy some other herbs. Once we get the Nine-Colored Flower, we can detoxify your poison!" The silver-haired old man said before leaving.
Xia He then closed the door behind him.
Nine Leaf Tower, 34th floor!
Xiao Fan frowned as he stared at the eighth laboratory in front of him.
The eighth laboratory is the core laboratory of the Lingnan Medicine Sect branch. Entering the door requires the fingerprints and pupils of the head old man and several others. Sound waves and brainwaves were required to verify one's identity before they could enter, as long as there was even the slightest hint of something wrong. If there's anything wrong, the laboratory's self-destruct device will be activated in an instant and the entire place will be blown to smithereens within three seconds.
The first three tests were not too difficult, but the last one, the brainwave test, directly rejected Xiao Fan's method of using the Heavenly Demon's Myriad Forms to control the old man and the others.
This is because, strictly speaking, the person being controlled by the Sky Demon Art isn't a living person, but a special existence between the living and the dead.
Although they, or rather they, possess everything from when they were alive, including their body and memories, but in the end they aren't real people. Naturally, their brain waves are completely different from when they were alive.
That's why Xiao Fan wasted so much time on the head old man, but unfortunately, it was to no avail!
"Then that's the only way!"
Xiao Fan pondered for a long time before finally opening his arms.
"Dark Annihilation!"
Xiao Fan let out a low roar, and then his entire body was suddenly enveloped by a ball of pitch black light. This ball of light that was pitch black like ink ceaselessly expanded and spread with Xiao Fan at its center!
Wherever the darkness shrouded, all objects would automatically disintegrate and be annihilated. Then, they would also turn into a ball of darkness, making this ball of darkness even denser.
Only Xiao Fan's body was not eroded by this darkness!
The darkness continued to spread and began to slowly shroud the entire eighth laboratory. Or rather, the darkness shrouded the entire 34th floor of the Nine Leaf Tower.
Fortunately, it's the middle of the night so no one noticed. If it was during the day, the top floor of the Nine Leaf Tower would've been shrouded in a strange and dense darkness.
Even so, the entire Nine Leaf Building was still affected. Almost in an instant, the entire Nine Leaf Building suddenly lost power, and every floor of the building became pitch-black.
The pedestrians on the street only felt the surrounding light suddenly dimmed. Subconsciously looking up, each one of them was surprised to see the Nine Leaf Tower.
As one of the famous buildings in Lingnan City, the Nine Leaf Tower, which was always brightly lit, actually had a power outage?
Time ticked by. Very soon!
Everything on the 34th floor of the Nine Leaf Tower, which was the top floor, including the corpses, walls, and instruments, disappeared. Only the Thousand-Soul Herb was floating in the air.
"Got it!"
The corner of Xiao Fan's mouth revealed a trace of a smile. Then, he raised his hand and the stalk of Thousand Spirit Grass slowly flew over and was placed into the Spirit Space by him.
"Let's go!"
