Chapter Nineteenth: Slaughter

  Xu Xian coldly smiled and said: "Why not go? This invitation will be temporarily placed with brother, when the time comes, brother can sit in the hall, I'll go to meet them. If we can persuade them, it's best not to use knives and swords. If not, I have a plan."

  Zhao Wenhui saw his expression, which didn't have the slightest hint of persuasion, and yet he still wanted to persuade him. Xu Xian said: "If we don't make a decision today, when will Brother's anger be alleviated?"

  Zhao Wenhui was taken aback, how could he be so helpless. In the past ten years, there have been countless frictions with the Qi Wangfu, and every time it was himself who retreated. The Qi Wangfu saw his weakness and became more and more disdainful of him.

  He personally went to ask for a soul, but didn't even see the face of the enemy king. He waited in vain under the gate hall for an hour, and finally a servant came over with cold words and sent him away. Angry, he smashed his cup on the spot, but that servant just sneered, with a look of disdain.

  He was no match for others, what could he do? He could only swallow this tone hard. For a long time, he had no power and just wanted to find someone to take the blame and reincarnate himself. Today, Xu Xian forced him to speak, finally stirring up the hot air in his chest, standing up in front of Xu Xian, bowing deeply: "Please, brother, help me avenge this grudge."

  Xu Xian stood up and helped him up, saying: "The unbalanced energy of heaven and earth is entrusted to the wind and thunder. Brother, take a look at my skills." As he spoke, Xu Xian's face was already turbulent with wind and thunder, full of solemnity and killing intent.

  The Way of Heaven is good at birth, it is called creation. The Way of Heaven is good at holding, it is called stability. The Way of Heaven is good at killing, it is called destruction. The Way of Heaven is good at exhaustion, it is called emptiness. The four states of creation, stability, destruction and emptiness are analogous to the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

  At this time, it is the autumn and winter days, the heaven and earth are killing, Xu Xian holds the heavenly way to move, up to its intention, the prosperity and destruction of things, doing things in between like getting heavenly help, this is the reason. It is more beneficial to cultivate with it, if it is warm and moist, it will not be fast.

  In the Chou Wang Fu, the already dilapidated mansion was brightly lit at night, with people's voices in an uproar.

  The Wang Fu is located in a remote area, with no neighbors around. Later on, the entire family was exterminated, and hundreds of people were killed inside. From then on, no one dared to come here. Now it's registered under Yin Hongxiu's name, but she wouldn't come here looking for bad luck either, so it's truly abandoned.

  In the abandoned garden, beside a peach tree, a middle-aged man wearing a golden dragon robe led the way, followed by a young man clad in armor. He bowed and said: "Your Majesty, this Spirit-Peach Tree is finally rotting away, we can break free from its shackles at last. Our great revenge will be achieved soon."

  Two men were talking, but neither of them dared to get too close to the peach tree, even though their corpses were buried beneath it. It turned out that when the Qiu family was exterminated, a large pit was dug in this backyard and they were buried on the spot. A practitioner was invited to plant seven peach trees in the shape of the Big Dipper, with talismans pasted all over them to suppress the evil spirits and bind them to this place.

  The man's voice was like a bell, saying "Imperial son, what the Wu family owes us will eventually be repaid. First, capture that Yin Hongxiu and let all the soldiers in the courtyard play with her before we can say we have avenged ourselves. This is what they promised us back then." Qi Wang's rebellion failed, so he could only indulge himself as the emperor of the underworld, making his only son the crown prince.

  The prince recalled the charming face of Yin Hongxiao, and couldn't help but lick his lips, but lowered his head and said: "I understand." He had been waiting impatiently for a long time. He hesitated again: "It's just that we really need to invite Zhao Wenhui and Xu Xian to come."

  Qiu Wang sneered, "Zhao Wenhui is timid and afraid of trouble, he will not dare to come forward. Moreover, the City Guardian is a divine position after all, we cannot kill him recklessly. However, that Xu Xian is likely to come, his cultivation has some small achievements, if we can obtain his yang spirit, the benefits for us are immeasurable." Qiu Wang thought for a moment and said again, "A few days ago, I invited that demon cultivator to come together with him, when the time comes, kill them both to offer sacrifices to the flag, and refine their souls to increase our power."

  The crown prince hesitated and said, "I beg of you to take her as a concubine." He was also a person who had been in the wind and rain, and Xia Qing, although dressed as a man, couldn't deceive him. So he pretended to be generous and gave five servants to her.

  Chou Wang turned around and glared at him, the crown prince immediately changed his words: "For the sake of avenging our great cause, this sacrifice is naturally worth it, but I'm afraid that if too many people come, we won't be able to control them."

  Chou Wang gazed at the peach wood in front of him and said, "As long as it enters my mouth, no matter how great their abilities are."

  The demon-suppressing peach wood was actually eroded by its evil method, not only gradually losing its effect, but also being used by it to form an array. Coming into the mansion would be a situation of nine deaths and one life.

  It's just that tigers have a heart to harm people, and people have a mind to harm tigers. Only when the time comes will they be separated by life and death, and then it will be settled.

  In the Hongxiu Academy, Yin Hongxiu lectured: "Cai Feng, you can't really like that Pan Yu, although he's handsome and has unparalleled literary talent. But this kind of person will have countless wives and concubines in the future, and you'll be at most a concubine, who knows how much suffering you'll endure?" After last time, the relationship between the two had become much closer.

  The colorful phoenix's slender and long phoenix eyes turned around, glared at the green swan beside her for a moment, before smiling and saying: "Sister, what are you talking about? We've only met a few times, how could we have such thoughts?"

  Yin Hongxiu doubted: "Really? I'm doing this for your own good. It's better to be the wife of a humble household than the concubine of a wealthy one. Besides, when choosing a man, you should pick one who is devoted to you with all his heart."

  Cai Feng opened the topic with a smile: "As long as you are wholehearted, it doesn't matter if others are crippled or blind."

  Yin Hongxiao said proudly: "Of course not, but also with a majestic appearance, extraordinary temperament, and the ability to save me from danger."

  Cai Feng took a glance at the woman in front of her, Yin Hongxiu. At 27 or 28 years old, she had a slender and delicate figure wrapped in a light red dress, with a pair of peach blossom-like eyes that made her look mature and elegant. However, the words she spoke seemed like those of a young girl who had just fallen in love for the first time. Thinking about it, Cai Feng realized that Yin Hongxiu's life had been quite smooth sailing, except for being married off to Hangzhou this one time. And as soon as she entered the city, the Qi Wang Fu was besieged, but she hadn't suffered much. With her identity as a junzhu, she had lived freely in Hangzhou City for ten years, and what did she know about human relationships and worldly affairs? Cai Feng herself must have also been that naive at some point!

  Xu Xian woke up from his dream, the scene dissipated like clouds, and he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have dreamed of Xiao Qing last night, who was even more delicate than he had imagined, she was his future concubine after all. Although he didn't dream of Bai Suzhen, it was a bit disappointing.

  Got up and washed, saw the yellow paper and red sand on the table, and interest rose again. Focused and picked up the brush, decided to try drawing the Five Thunder Symbol method once more. Although there wasn't much hope in heart, practicing more would make it easier with time, right?

  Slowly operating the air like a river's persistence, swiftly leaving the brush like a dragon's dance in the sky. Xu Xian suddenly entered a wonderful state - his heart was empty and spiritual. Although it was only for an instant, when Xu Xian woke up from this state and looked at his brush again, the Five Thunder Seal had been drawn.

  Xu Xian exclaimed in surprise: "I, I damn it's really a genius, it turns out that being a genius is my hidden attribute." Of course, he didn't know that the Five Thunder Seal he drew now and the one he drew last night were worlds apart in terms of speed and power.

  Yu Xuanji stared at the Five Thunder Seal in his hand in surprise, while Xu Xian sat on one side with a pleased expression.

  Xu Xian, pleased with himself, said "Come on, little girl, give me a smile."

  "Get out."

  Xu Xian stood at the entrance of the Mysterious Machine Observatory, furious: "Didn't you say I could enter as long as I drew it out? This is too untrustworthy."

  "Hey, Uncle Master," said Bamboo in a low voice at the door, "Master said you, you."

  "I'm nothing."

  "Cut off your tongue and come back! Hehe!" The bamboo-like laughter of the silver bell got farther and farther away. Xu Xian muttered, "Be careful, you're still cultivating."

  Xu Xian finished drawing another Five Thunder Seal and put it aside. In the state of Yang Shen Chu Niao, he could exert the power of the Five Thunder Seal to its extreme, but the consumption was also extremely great, and he could only draw two or three in one night. Now that he had given up on cultivation every night and focused on drawing thunder seals, he would often choose to draw two thunder seals and use the remaining spiritual energy to draw a few other talismans with relatively small consumption.

  Among them, Xu Xian painted the most was Yao Ri Fu, the effect of this symbol is like a flash bomb, but for ordinary ghosts, it has a certain amount of damage. Moreover, his own spiritual power is the power of the sun, so the effect of the talisman is even greater. He had prepared many such talismans. He also prepared other talismans that might come in handy, such as Xuan Jia Fu and Dun Jia Fu.

  This is the benefit of talismans, being able to store power, and in battle it's like carrying an arsenal. However, cultivators easily get caught up in the various talismans and each new one requires a significant amount of mental effort to learn. They will then neglect their own cultivation.

  It's simply unbelievable that someone like Xu Xian can glance at and try out various talismans, then immediately draw them perfectly.
