C18 The calamity of xiang dan
"Its power is strong enough, and this is still the result of not fully developing the dragon and elephant. If all nine dragons and nine elephants came out at the same time, what would happen?"
He was hoping that one day, he would be invincible in the world, standing at the peak of humanity and gazing at the Immortal Path.
After he finished cultivating, Qin Lie collapsed, because the dragon and elephant in his body had started to struggle. The dragon's roar moved the nine heavens, and the elephant's might was unparalleled.
In his tiredness, Qin Lie fell asleep with a serene expression.
A few days passed, Qin Lie's days were peaceful and calm, Xia Heng's revenge still had not come yet, but Qin Lie still felt a bit uneasy.
In his view, there was definitely a reason behind this anomaly. Xia Heng was a person who would definitely take revenge, and would not let things rest just like that. After so many days without any movements, he could only become more vigilant, and was most likely plotting some big plan.
"Hmm? What a strong medicinal fragrance, where did it come from? " Walking out of the room, Qin Lie frowned. An extremely rich medicinal fragrance floated past his ears, permeating the air. With a light sniff, he felt like he was about to sublimate.
In the end, Qin Lie found out that the source of the medicinal fragrance came from his own house, which made him extremely surprised.
Gently pushing the door open, Qin Lie was startled, because in a room, the medicinal fragrance became even stronger, and in the end, in a cabinet, Qin Lie found a round Pill, which was the source of the medicinal smell.
It was as big as a dragon eye, lying quietly in the palm of his hand. The light was as clean as jade, and the medicinal fragrance was as dense as the ocean. Who put it here, or was it supposed to be here anyway?
Qin Lie thought for a while, and quickly dismissed the second thought, because this cabinet previously belonged to Tu Mo. When he moved in, Tu Mo took away all the items that belonged to him.
"Who did it?" Qin Lie said to himself. A Pill appeared in the courtyard for no reason, it was too strange!
After weighing the pros and cons, Qin Lie took the pill and showed it to Luo Hou and Pang Bo. Both of them denied that they had placed it there, which caused Qin Lie to feel extremely uneasy, as if he had sensed something.
Undoubtedly, this Pill's grade is very high, very extraordinary, and even Direct Vein disciples would have difficulty possessing it. But to appear in Qin Lie's courtyard just like that, it's too strange!
Qin Lie thought for a while and suddenly realised that there was someone who wanted to frame him and use this pill to make him bear the consequences.
"Was it Tu Mo?" Qin Lie immediately thought of Xia Heng, Tu Mo and the others.
In the entire palace, only the two of them had an irreconcilable enmity with him. Even though the rest of the people weren't on good terms with him, they didn't have to spend so much effort to scheme against him.
Gradually, Qin Lie found himself in a dilemma, and this Pill seemed to become a hot potato. The Pill could not be left alive, but he could not simply throw it away. The pellet was not ordinary, it was definitely not something an ordinary Pill could compare to, and if it was lost in his hands, it would be a huge crime.
Returning to the courtyard, Qin Lie's brows were knitted tightly as he stared at the Pill in his hands. His expression gradually became unsightly, because even after thinking for a long time, he was still unable to think of a way to not implicate others, and at the same time, guarantee his own safety.
"Forget it, forget it …" After a long while, Qin Lie sighed, it was his fault that he did not notice, as things were already like this, it was too late to regret.
Tu Mo and Xia Heng tried very hard to get rid of him, their scheming had to be deep inside of them, since they have already died once, why not, tell everyone about the Toxic Pill, and maybe there will be a chance for them to survive! Qin Lie muttered to himself for a moment.
"Right? the incident with the Toxic Pill … " As he inadvertently thought about the Toxic Pill, a flash of lightning flashed through Qin Lie's mind. He suddenly swept his gaze over the haze just now and grinned: "There's a way …"
Qin Lie's eyes were bright, and at the same time, he was sneering. If Tu Mo and Xia Heng were the ones who tried to kill him, he would have a way to retaliate!
With that in mind, Qin Lie closed his eyes and fell asleep.
...
"Thirteen foster sons, Qin Lie, where are you? Family Elder called you in, come with us!"
Early in the morning the next day, Qin Lie heard a loud and clear voice that was clearly transmitted into the courtyard, causing many of the soil and rocks in the courtyard to crack.
Qin Lie was startled, they actually came this fast!
As soon as he went out of the door, Qin Lie saw two guards from the Palace of Duke Ying looking like wolves as they rushed in. They had thick eyebrows, big eyes, high temples, and their voices sounded like a bell and rune, bringing with it an irresistible killing intent, causing even the house to tremble.
Not only that, what made Qin Lie even more shocked was that under the skin of the two guards, there was a layer of blood light, that was their Qi and blood. It was as majestic as the sea, and the Cultivation Level s were actually at the ninth stage of the Body Refining Stage.
"Someone from the Clan Hall!"
Qin Lie recognized them with a single glance before sighing with emotion. "As expected of the Kung Fu Hall Protectors, each one of them has the strength to destroy the golden bell with a fist!"
In the Body Refining Stage realm, the first eight stages were not too far apart, but from the ninth stage onwards, it became like a huge gap.
This was a sign of the spiritualization of the body. To reach the limits of the human body and seek Transcendence, this was a must! However, very few people had succeeded. In the younger generation of the entire empire, other than Xia Menglan, there were only a handful who had succeeded.
"What is the matter?" Qin Lie was neither humble nor arrogant, he did not have the intention to stand up. He wanted to understand who told the guards to capture him. This person was the owner of the Pill!
"Xia Menglan, Miss Xia."
"Xia Menglan?!" Qin Lie's face suddenly changed, his heart was in turmoil, this Pill was her?!
"So that's how it is, Tu Mo and Xia Heng, these two lunatics, actually did not hesitate to steal Xia Menglan's Pill s to trap themselves, aren't they afraid of being discovered?" Qin Lie frowned slightly as his expression became serious. He was afraid that he would have to confront Xia Menglan in a moment, how was he going to explain that?
This was the direct daughter of the Duke Palace, and the Cultivation Level had already reached the domain of Myriad Profound. Furthermore, it was a disciple with Ten Sects.
Especially the absolute strength she had displayed in the Family Competition, which made Qin Lie feel a little afraid. In the face of Xia Ruoxi's piece of divine bone, she did not even put it in her eyes, and used her Primordial Spirit to suppress it!
To be able to condense a Primordial Spirit at such a young age, such talent could be said to be terrifying!
If he were to end up estranged from Xia Menglan, he was afraid that he would never be able to stay in the Duke Palaces again.
"Whether it's a blessing or a disaster, a disaster cannot be avoided. I don't believe that my, Qin Lie's, life is that bad!" Qin Lie was not someone to be trifled with, his talent alone would determine his fate. As long as he had enough time, he would sooner or later surpass Xia Chu Lan and stand at the summit of the East Wasteland Continent.
"You two, lead the way!" Not continuing to linger, Qin Lie stood up and said to the two of them.
Surprise flashed past the eyes of the two Clan Hall guards, but they did not say anything in the end, and continued to drag Qin Lie towards the Clan Hall.
The cold wind blew coldly outside, bone-piercing cold. Qin Lie and the guard walked towards the Clan Hall.
After walking through a few corridors, for the first time in his life, Qin Lie entered the Clan Hall. On the way, many people looked at Qin Lie with astonishment.
"Qin Lie... What happened to him? What happened? "
"I don't know. He must have made some mistakes."
"You're lying, Qin Lie is always fair and square, how could he possibly violate the clan rules? In my opinion, someone must be up to no good! "
Some people were worried, and some people were doubtful, so there were naturally people who were rejoicing in their misfortune. After all, Qin Lie was born from an abandoned son, and with the help of the competition, he was able to amaze the world with a single glance. From the status of an abandoned child to the status of a Direct Vein disciple, many people were unsatisfied with his status.
At this moment, upon seeing his suffering, many people harbored evil intentions and started to mock and ridicule him in all directions.
Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Qin Lie did not say a word, but in his heart, he was thinking about how to explain to Xia Chu Lan what had happened.
Amongst the crowd, Qin Lie's gaze swept across Luo Hou and Pang Bo. Seeing that he was being escorted, they became nervous, clenching their fists.
"Brother Lie, no matter what mistakes you have committed, we will think of ways to save you!"
When he was walking past them, Qin Lie heard them say that. At that moment, his eyes were moist, he did not expect that there would be two more good brothers who would support him when he was in trouble, he had no regrets in this life.
The Clan Hall was right in front of his eyes as the guards pushed open the door and brought Qin Lie in. With a glance, he saw two rows of guards who were as strong as iron towers, their eyes were cold and indifferent, without the slightest hint of emotion. These people all had the strength of the ninth stage of the Body Refining Stage, which made Qin Lie feel secretly fearful.
At the very top, a protector sat upright and with half closed eyes was the second clan elder who was in charge of the Kung Fu Hall, Xia Shi.
After shifting his gaze to the two sides, Qin Lie's gaze landed on the body of a young girl. She was seated upright on top of it.
The direct descendant of the Demon Suppressing King Palace, Xia Menglan! Although she was already prepared in her heart, when she stood in front of Xia Menglan, Qin Lie still felt a kind of suppression.
Her aura was too strong!
A pair of cold and detached eyes that was thousands of miles away, filled with dignity, stared at Qin Lie.
"Buzz …"
Just this one glance caused Qin Lie's mind to shake, as though it was going to collapse. This caused him to feel immense danger; this was the strength of a Myriad Profound Stage expert! The other guards could not even compare to Xia Menglan!
This kind of feeling was as if a towering mountain was pressing down on them, and their backs were not straight anymore.
Thirteen foster sons Qin Lie greets Protector Xia Shi and the young miss. Qin Lie focused and bowed, his expression humble and respectful.
"Haha …" Suddenly, a familiar cold laughter came from within the Clan Hall. Following that, two black figures walked out from the shadows.
Looking at the approaching figure, Qin Lie's lips curled up in a cold anger, he did not guess wrong, the culprits behind this really were Tu Mo and Xia Heng!
"Audacious Qin Lie, you have committed a heinous crime, kneel down! Do you want to rebel? "
The cold shout came as a surprise, causing Qin Lie to furrow his brows. Hearing the criticism from the people in the hall, the rage in his heart raged.
In the hall, Xia Shi had been squinting his eyes the entire time, but after seeing that Qin Lie did not kowtow in front of everyone in greeting, his eyes slowly grew wide, and with an intimidating divine light, he swept his gaze towards Qin Lie. He suddenly discovered that the deepest part of Qin Lie's eyes seemed to be giving off some kind of light. That light actually made him feel an inexplicable fear, causing him to be unable to calm down for a long time.
"Who's the dead deer? It's still unknown …" Seeing the sneering Tu Mo and Xia Heng, who were staring at each other, Qin Lie groaned. Not only did he not kneel down, he stood straight and looked at Xia Shi without fear.
