Chapter 152: One Night, the Clan is Annihilated
However, upon hearing that Chongxiao Sect's founder Cai Chongxiao was still alive, Jiang Suxing's goal immediately changed to one day personally beheading Cai Chongxiao, and her entire being suddenly seemed much more spirited.
Seeing Jing Bu Si and Jing Bu Mie, the two brothers seem to have something to say to Zhao Zhuo. Jiang Suqing rushed towards Zhao Zhuo and said: "Brother Zhao, I won't disturb you, I'll go cultivate."
Zhao Duo nodded and watched as Jiang Suqing entered the treasure tower. He beckoned to the two of them, saying "Come over and have a drink of water".
After drinking that tea, Jing didn't die and opened his mouth to say: "Boss, we brothers went out to investigate for a day and indeed got a lot of news about the three big families."
"Go on," Zhao Duo said with a nod.
"It's strange to say, but since the time over a decade ago when the three major turnwheels used their own lives as sacrifices to activate the heavenly punishment turnwheel and annihilate the thirty-two invading enemy families, the designated turnwheel users who were supposed to appear never showed up. This has been going on for over ten years now. However, this news was kept secret by the three major families until recently when the heavenly punishment turnwheel started showing abnormalities, causing the news of the new generation's turnwheel users not appearing to leak out."
Zhao Duo furrowed his brow and said, "That's it. If the Heavenly Punishment Wheel has already chosen its wheel wielder, then the Heavenly Punishment Wheel wouldn't have any unusual movements. It seems that the rumors aren't just baseless."
Jing Bu Si and Jing Bu Mie, the two brothers nodded and said: "Yes, now almost the entire Wang Hai City has spread the news that the three major families' luck has been exhausted and can no longer bear the blessings of the Heavenly Punishment Wheel. The Heavenly Punishment Wheel is about to appear."
Zhao's hand tightened around the teacup, and the fine white jade cup silently shattered into powder.
"The Innate Spiritual Treasure is born, its shocking power absolutely surpasses that of a single Cave Heaven or Blessed Land being born. I'm afraid this time there will be countless old demons appearing, and Wang Hai City will have many troubles from now on."
Jing Bu Si and Jing Bu Mie's faces involuntarily revealed a worried expression. When Su Xiu and the three women left, they had instructed the two to protect Zhao Zhuo at all costs. Although Zhao Zhuo's cultivation far exceeded theirs, the two still regarded him as their protected object.
"Big brother, why don't we avoid the storm for now and talk about it later? The Spiritual Treasure has not yet reached its birth time, and many powerful cultivators hiding in the dark have not appeared. Once the Spiritual Treasure is born, this place will become a huge vortex, and no matter how many cultivators come in, they won't be enough to die."
"Big brother is right, it's said that the emergence of the Pre-Heaven Spirit Treasure requires the blood sacrifice of countless cultivators. It's not self-deprecation, but our cultivation level is simply insignificant compared to the many other cultivators."
Zhao Duo waved his hand and said, "Looking at the two of you, it's not even time for the Spiritual Treasure to be born yet, and you're already scared out of your wits. If it were really time for the Spiritual Treasure to be born, wouldn't you both want to find a rock and knock yourselves dead?"
The two of them stared at Zhao Zhuang and said: "We promised Old Madam that we would protect Eldest Brother."
"Don't worry, I won't joke with my own life. It's a rare opportunity, let's just broaden our horizons."
Knowing that they couldn't persuade Zhao Zhuo, the two of them simply stopped talking. They exchanged a glance, and Zhao Zhuo shook his head with a smile, looking at the sky outside: "It's getting late, you two should also get some rest."
After sending the two away, Zhao Zhuo furrowed his brow and said: "It's only been a few months, I don't know where Uncle Gu Yong is, or if he has returned to Wang Hai City."
Out of the courtyard, Zhao Zhuo wandered aimlessly on the dimly lit street, when suddenly a refreshing fragrance wafted before him. Lowering his head, Zhao Zhuo suddenly lifted it up, and what he saw was a pair of sparkling eyes like stars. What beautiful eyes they were! Just one glance, and Zhao Zhuo almost fell deeply into them.
When Zhao Zhuo came to his senses, the woman in white clothes had already walked past him. In a flash of surprise, Zhao Zhuo only caught a glimpse of her unparalleled eyes and the unforgettable fragrance that lingered on her body.
"What a mysterious woman! Her cultivation is so profound it's immeasurable, I'm afraid she far surpasses me!"
When he turned around to look again, the mysterious woman's figure was already gone. Zhao Zhuang returned with a bewildered expression and chuckled: "The Lingbao is about to emerge, it seems that these hidden cultivators can't resist the temptation of the Xiantian Lingbao one by one."
Shaking his head, Zhao Zhuo continued to move forward and unknowingly arrived at the courtyard where Gu Yong lived after getting drunk with him that time.
Standing in front of the door, Zhao Shuo gently knocked on the door, and the knocking sound was extremely clear, echoing far away in the quiet night.
It wasn't until a long while later that he heard the sound of heavy footsteps approaching, followed by the creaking of the wooden door as it opened. An elderly man poked his head out, with a pair of dim and blurry eyes, seemingly exerting great effort to make out the figure standing before him - Zhao Zhuo.
"Sir, you're knocking on the door in the middle of the night, is there something going on?"
Zhao Duo smiled slightly and said: "Thank you, sir. I wonder if this is the residence of Grand Uncle Gu Yong?"
The old man nodded and said: "That's right"
"Is Uncle Gu Yong here?"
The old man shook his head and said: "My master has gone out to travel and hasn't returned for two or three years. Young master, you can leave your name, and when the master returns, I'll let him know."
Zhao Zhuang didn't have much hope to begin with, after all Gu Yu had said before that he would be closing up for a period of time to focus on his cultivation, and it had only been a few months, so it wasn't likely that he would return.
With a faint smile, Zhao said: "Since that's the case, then forget it. I've disturbed you long enough, sir. I'll take my leave now."
The old man nodded and said: "Young master, slow down, I won't see you off far"
Gu Yong was not there, and Zhao Zhuo suddenly had a feeling of having nowhere to go. Suddenly, a loud noise came from afar, and gradually, flames shot up into the sky, with cries and shouts, and the sound of fighting never stopped.
Zhao Duo furrowed his brow, and after a few ups and downs, he arrived in front of a tall mansion. When he clearly saw the two big characters on the mansion, Zhao Duo's brow furrowed even more intensely.
"Sufu"
The entire Wanghai City, apart from the three major families, probably doesn't have a single household with such a majestic mansion as this one. However, flames are soaring into the sky within the mansion, and cries for help are incessant, apparently someone is trying to destroy the Su family.
He patted his head with his hand, and Zhao Zhuo nodded: "It's settled. If nothing unexpected happens, in order to prevent the appearance of a turncoat, someone will definitely take action to destroy the three big families. I just don't know what happened to the other two families."
Flying in the air, looking at the countless Su family disciples being beheaded one by one by black-clothed men with hidden identities, almost without any resistance, Zhao Zhuo couldn't help but sigh.
The Su family is still Su Embroidery's maternal clan after all, and Zhao Zhuo shouldn't just sit back and do nothing.
In a flash of light, a familiar figure appeared before Zhao Zhuo's eyes. An old man was being desperately pursued by a black-clad assassin.
That old man was none other than Su Chuanzong, the academician who had taught Zhao Zhuo in the past. At that time, Zhao Zhuo regarded Su Chuanzong as a celestial being. Times have changed, and now Zhao Zhuo's cultivation has far surpassed Su Chuanzong's. However, the impression Su Chuanzong gave to Zhao Zhuo was extremely profound. It can be said that it was Su Chuanzong's demeanor back then that inspired Zhao Zhuo to cultivate.
"Stop it, I'll vouch for this man!"
Zhao Duo waved his hand and swept away the black-clothed man who had achieved the Great Perfection of the Divine Transformation Stage, standing steadily in front of the disheveled Su Chuanzong, shielding him behind him, with a calm expression looking at the black-clothed man who showed a surprised look.
The man in black glanced at Zhao Zhuo, hummed softly, and turned to pounce on the other members of the Su family.
Su Chuanzong was shocked to see the young man who had just saved him, and when Zhao Shuo turned around, Su Chuanzong trembled with his voice: "Zhao Shuo, you are Zhao Shuo, Xiuying's son!"
Zhao Zhuo nodded slightly and looked around, the number of people from the Su family was decreasing, and at any time, the black-clothed men would take them as targets.
Zhao Zhuo grabbed Su Chuanzong and said, "Quickly follow me and leave"
Someone noticed Zhao's movement and saw a man in black appearing in front of him, coldly saying: "Not one person from the Su family is allowed to leave."
Zhao Duo coldly snorted: "I guarantee this person"
"The man in black growled: 'Then you can die with him'".
Zhao Duo concealed his cultivation, and the black-clothed man had no idea how formidable Zhao Duo was. However, his own strength wasn't bad either; he was actually a strong practitioner at the beginning of the Returning to One stage.
A Wind-Breaking Spear of the Spirit Tool level shot towards Zhao San's face, Zhao San didn't dodge or evade, stretched out his hand to grab the spear, then with a flick of his wrist and a surge of spiritual energy, instantly stabbed the spear into the black-robed man's vital point, shattering his internal organs.
Su Chuanzong was shocked and raised his head, Zhao Shuo disappeared after a few ups and downs, and when the other black-clothed men rushed over, there was no sign of Zhao Shuo.
That night, the three families of Su, Zhao, and Chen, who had once dominated the city of Wanghai, were annihilated overnight. Except for a handful of people who managed to escape, the entire population of the three families, numbering tens of thousands, was slaughtered.
Listening to the news brought back by his brothers, Jing Bu Si and Jing Bu Mie, Su Chuanzong's body swayed and almost fell to the ground.
"It's indeed the case that success and failure both stem from Lingbao. When our family was chosen by Heaven to be the Wheel Turners, we were at the height of our prosperity. It's only natural for things to decline after reaching their peak. In fact, this calamity has been predetermined all along."
Seeing Su Chuanzong being so open-minded, Zhao Zhuo let out a sigh of relief. If Su Chuanzong had heard the bad news and was on the verge of death, then Zhao Zhuo would have wasted his efforts in saving him.
Jing Bu said: "It's said that all three families together didn't even escape with a few people, really don't know who was behind it"
Zhao Duo said: "This is not the work of one party, if anything, it's probably the result of all parties working together. Think about it, with so many powerful people gathered in Wang Hai City, who would dare to slaughter three major families so openly and brazenly without their tacit consent?"
Su Chuanzong's eyes flashed with a fierce and ruthless glint: "The downfall of my three families is only the beginning of this storm, I, Su Chuanzong, will keep my eyes wide open and watch as these cultivators, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, accompany my family in death."
