Chapter 30

Not long after, six beams of rainbow light from the Cangnan Marquis Manor split into two groups, one to the left and one to the right, shooting out from the manor and swiftly flying towards Heba City. Their speed was much faster than when they came.

In the grand hall, Liu Xiu and the others stood again on the steps before the hall, watching the distant rainbow light disappear, and couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief.

"Liu Xiu! Now you must ride my red rabbit steed and gallop to Heba City as quickly as possible. You must delay the people of Tianyi Sect and Bingxue Sect for as long as possible, the longer the better. Ideally, you should trick them into going to the Cangman Mountains. The Ancestor should arrive within three days. By then, our Cangnan County will be safe, and the hard work of our generations will not be in vain, nor will we become puppets of others." Liu Xiu's expression was solemn and serious as he turned to Xu Jianhong and said.

Upon hearing this, Xu Jianhong's face became grave and solemn, exuding a faint aura of determination to face death. He knelt on one knee and loudly said, "My Lord, rest assured. I have already secretly arranged for the people who have had contact with Hua Xiajiu to be taken to a secret place in Jiangyuan City and treated well. The two of them will not be able to find anyone to ask about Hua Xiajiu. Yes! This matter concerns the survival of our Cangnan County. Even if I have to risk my life, I will definitely delay the people of Tianyi Sect and Bingxue Sect for three days."

After saying this, he deeply bowed to Liu Xiu, stood up, and quickly ran outside.

...

In the deep ravine of the Cangman Mountains.

Hua Xiajiu slowly opened his eyes, his face rosy and his eyes bright like stars.

After a whole night of cultivation, the depleted True Essence Lake in his dantian was once again full. The soul in his mind was also completely restored, emitting a five-colored glow once more.

Feeling the increased True Essence, Hua Xiajiu was delighted. Without a word, he did not rest and immediately began practicing the Ice Arrow Technique again.

Thus, Hua Xiajiu, with a persistence that few could endure, mechanically repeated the practice of the Ice Arrow Technique. When his True Essence was depleted, he would sit in meditation to recover. Once recovered, he would continue practicing the Ice Arrow Technique.

Time passed swiftly, and before he knew it, five days had gone by.

After five days of inhumanly intense practice, Hua Xiajiu's progress was significant. Now, he could cast the Ice Arrow Technique in just half a breath, and although the True Essence Lake in his dantian had not expanded, the density of the True Essence had increased, becoming more condensed.

Additionally, although the soul energy in his mind had not increased, each time it was greatly consumed and then restored, the soul form became more solid and the facial features clearer.

On this evening, just as Hua Xiajiu had finished his True Essence cultivation and was about to practice the Ice Arrow Technique again, a faint, mysterious calling sound suddenly echoed in his mind.

At the same time, among the hundreds of invisible faith golden threads on his soul form, one of the thickest golden threads suddenly shimmered with golden light and trembled.

The calling sound came from this suddenly shimmering golden thread. Hua Xiajiu's face changed, and he stopped his cultivation, carefully observing the changes in his mind.

As time passed, the golden thread shimmered more frequently, and the calling sound became more urgent.

Seeing the changes in his mind, a flash of inspiration crossed Hua Xiajiu's mind, and the soul energy followed the shimmering golden thread.

In the next moment, the scene before Hua Xiajiu's eyes changed.

A grand hall came into view, and seven human men, some fierce, some with cold smiles, and some expressionless, looked at him.

The one with a fierce look, and closest to Hua Xiajiu, was an old man in a black robe with two young men in black robes.

Not far away, on the other side, was a middle-aged man in a white robe with two young men in white robes, both with cold smiles.

On the other side, Xu Jianhong was spitting blood and staggering to his feet, looking at him expressionlessly.

At this moment, Hua Xiajiu realized that there were also many people standing behind him, but because his back was turned, he couldn't see them clearly.

"Old man! Quickly tell me, what is your relationship with Hua Xiajiu? And before he went to the Cangman Mountains, did he give you any instructions? I will only ask once. If you do not answer, I will kill one person behind you every three breaths." The middle-aged man in the black robe's eyes flashed with cold light as he said coldly.

"Immortal Sir! I have already said that Master Hua is just our master. Before Master Hua went to the Cangman Mountains, he did instruct us to guard the manor well." A familiar, old voice suddenly came from his own mouth.

"The voice of Tang Guanshu! I understand."

Hua Xiajiu's heart stirred, and at this moment, he vaguely realized that he had probably possessed Tang Guanshu for some unknown reason. He guessed that this was related to the power of faith.

"Looking for death!" The middle-aged man in the black robe shouted, and with a flick of his right hand, a blue light flashed, and a惨叫 sounded from behind Tang Guanshu. Tang Guanshu turned to look back, and Hua Xiajiu also saw clearly that a middle-aged man had turned into an ice statue and shattered, his flesh and blood turning into icy fragments, dying a tragic death. Hua Xiajiu had a vague memory of this person, recalling that he was a human from Tang Family Town.

At the same time, Hua Xiajiu felt one of the faith golden threads in his mind slowly disappear.

Hua Xiajiu couldn't help but be stunned. The faith golden threads were the source of his faith power. Although he could now cultivate and learn magic, the miraculous nature of faith power had left a deep impression on him, and he secretly considered it an important path to increasing his strength. But now, one of the threads had been casually wiped out by the middle-aged man in the black robe, which made the fire of anger in Hua Xiajiu's chest flare up, and a desire to kill the middle-aged man in the black robe sprouted in his heart. Both the anger and the desire to kill were feelings Hua Xiajiu had never experienced before.

The middle-aged man in the black robe flicked his finger, and in an instant, he killed one of the people behind Tang Guanshu as if swatting an ant. Everyone saw this, and apart from the nearly ten Tang Family Town residents behind Tang Guanshu, who looked terrified, the others had various expressions, but no one stopped him. They all looked at Tang Guanshu.

Buzz——

Tang Guanshu's whole body trembled slightly, his expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly, "Master Hua will come to Jiangyuan City at dawn tomorrow."

After saying this, Tang Guanshu's expression changed again, reverting to the previous look of fear and helplessness.

Everyone witnessed this bizarre scene, and although they were slightly puzzled, they didn't take it to heart. The old man in the white robe chuckled and turned to Xu Jianhong, who had just staggered to his feet, and said, "General Xu! Take these people to the grand hall of the Marquis Manor and have the Cangnan Marquis wait in the hall. We will all go there and wait for Hua Xiajiu to arrive."

...

In the deep ravine, Hua Xiajiu, using Tang Guanshu's mouth, finished speaking. Without waiting for the middle-aged man in the black robe to respond, he felt a deep dizziness that reached his soul. In the next moment, the scene before his eyes changed abruptly, and the deep ravine, shrouded in dark miasma and toxic fog, reappeared before him.

After what had just happened, Hua Xiajiu understood what had occurred.

He guessed that after killing Yu Mingfu and Ma Zhike, the people of Tianyi Sect and Bingxue Sect had investigated and eventually suspected him. They had then subjected Tang Guanshu and others to severe torture to extract information about him.
