Chapter 704



704 Chapter 704-you’ve lived too long

“You’re really a pig’s brain, not as useful as your son!” Xiahou Yuanming angrily retorted. Jian ‘er, tell your father about the implications of this!”

“Yes, Grandpa!”

A young man behind Xiahou Cheng said worriedly, ” “Although this Jade tablet fell from the sky, it landed in the Boneyard, so it should belong to the Boneyard. The land of bones had always been known as the tomb of the Almighty, and many good things had been unearthed from it over the years. Anyone who enters must have a permit issued by the blood God Palace. At the same time, it states that everything obtained must be sold to the blood God Palace first. This Jade tablet was secretly brought out by second uncle. If the blood God Palace finds out, house Xiahou will be in trouble!”

The other man, Xiahou ye, said bitterly, ” I was just being greedy. I didn’t expect it to be a ninth-tier profound armament. If I had known, I would have given it to the blood God Palace directly. Then, this wouldn’t have happened.

“On what basis?”

Hmph! Xiahou Cheng snorted. the blood God Palace only grew stronger because of the lucrative job at the Boneyard. The Boneyard belongs to the entire Eastern Region. What right does the blood God Palace have to set rules and regulations? I really don’t like the look of it!

“You pig head!”

Xiahou Yuanming was furious,”How did I give birth to a pig head like you! The blood God Palace was guarding the burial ground. It was decided by the Redmoon city at the Eastern Region Alliance conference! If you don’t like them, you’ll just scold them a little, but if they don’t like you, they’ll destroy you in minutes!”

“Big brother,” Xiahou ye said,”the only thing we can do now is to wait for Lord Sun renhao of the myriad treasures store to buy it in secret. There won’t be a second Chamber of Commerce in Fu city who’ll dare to accept this deal. The resources that myriad treasures store promised us will be of great help to our future development. As long as we can survive today, the Jade tablet will no longer be in our hands. Even if the blood God Palace finds something, they can’t do anything to us without any evidence.”

“Hmph, I really don’t know what you guys are thinking. A perfectly fine ninth tier profound armament, father, you’ve been dreaming of having a treasure, but now you actually want to secretly dispose of it! I thought that after father obtained this item, he would go into seclusion to refine it and become the second expert in Fufeng city to own a ninth tier profound armament and contend against the zu family!”

Xiahou Cheng had always felt that everyone was overthinking and overreacting.

Xiahou Yuanming snorted,”it’s true that I want a ninth tier profound armament, but I can’t use the fate of my family as the price!” After dealing with this item, the benefits he would get from the myriad treasures store, along with some of the family’s savings, would be enough to buy one in the sea of soul formation! Cheng ‘er, you don’t need to attend tonight’s banquet, bring some experts with you and guard this place well, we can’t let anything happen to this Jade tablet!”

There seemed to be an extremely powerful seal on the Jade tablet, and it couldn’t be stored in his storage ring, causing Xiahou Yuanming to be extremely vexed. He could only place it in the mansion’s Treasury and let his most powerful son guard it.

“Don’t worry, father. As long as the person is there, the monument will be there!”

Xiahou Cheng replied in a deep voice. He wasn’t a shrewd man, but he was the second strongest expert in the Xiahou family and was at the peak of the martial honor realm. In the entire Windfall City, the number of people who could defeat him would not exceed the number of fingers on one hand.

“Well, I’m more at ease with you around. You two, come with me to the banquet.”

Xiahou Yuanming turned and left with Xiahou Jian and Xiahou ye. Xiahou Cheng carefully inspected the surroundings of the Treasury and placed layer after layer of restrictions. After that, he placed a large number of experts in the surroundings and hid them in various places. He then sat cross-legged in front of the vault and closed his eyes to cultivate.

Xiahou Yuan Ming had just arrived at the front banquet hall when a steward hurriedly ran through the crowd.

Xiahou Yuanming frowned. what’s the matter? why are you so flustered? don’t lose your manners in front of the guest!

The housekeeper’s face was filled with anxiety, and he immediately whispered a few words into Xiahou Yuanming’s ear. Xiahou Yuanming’s expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely unsightly.

Xiahou ye and Xiahou Jian didn’t know what was going on. They hurriedly said, ” “What’s wrong, old man?”

Xiahou Yuanming’s face was ashen, and he said seriously, the myriad treasures store just sent a message saying that something happened in the merchant Union. Lord Sun renhao has just activated the teleportation formation and is heading to the headquarters of the myriad treasures store.

“What? Then what should we do?”

I don’t know when he’ll be back, ” Xiahou ye said in surprise. the merchant Union is doing fine. What could have happened that requires him to be called back? ” Could it be that he suddenly went back on his word and deliberately found an excuse?”

Xiahou Yuanming shook his head,”I know sun renhao, he’s definitely not the kind of person to go back on his word.” Moreover, with their ten thousand treasures tower’s strength, eating a ninth tier profound armament was not a difficult thing. Something must have really happened. This was really troublesome. I don’t know how long we can keep the Jade tablet in our hands.”

Just as he was worried, he heard a long laugh coming from outside and said mockingly, ” “Brother Yuan Ming, you’ve taken a concubine who’s younger than your grandson. Congratulations!”

Xiahou Yuan’s expression changed. A trace of killing intent flashed through his eyes. He forced a smile and went out to welcome them. He said coldly,”So it’s brother huanshui. I heard that you have a son this year, who is two years younger than your great-grandson. The two little friends can play together happily. Happy, happy.”

There was a flash of light outside the door, and two xiahous guards landed in the courtyard before they could stop him. There were more than ten of them.

Xiahou Yuanming’s heart jolted, but his face remained expressionless as he smiled,”So brother Yue Ming is here too. Please come in, please come in!”

The two of them were zu huanshui and Zhangsun Yueming, the family heads of the other two major forces in Fufeng city. They had come together, but their expressions were not so happy, which was very different from the atmosphere around them.

“Brother Yuanming, although we’re here to drink and congratulate you, our main purpose isn’t to drink,” Zhangsun Yueming said indifferently.

“Oh? Could it be that the two of you are here to play chess and drink tea with me? It’s a pity that today is my double happy day, so I don’t have time to accompany you.”

Xiahou Yuanming didn’t make a sound, but made a gesture of “no welcome,” indicating that he was sending the guest off.

Zu huanshui sneered,”brother Yuanming, stop pretending!” I don’t want that 16-year-old sister-in-law to become a widow before we even consummate our marriage!”

Xiahou Yuanming was enraged, and he roared,”Zu huanshui, today is my double happy day, your mouth is too cheap!”

Zu huanshui said sarcastically, ” I won’t beat around the bush with you. Hand over the ninth-tier Mystic weapon you got from the burial land. Then, we’ll accompany you to drink a few mouthfuls of wine today. Otherwise, your banquet will really not be able to be held.

“Good, so you’re joining hands to find trouble!”

Xiahou Yuanming’s aura rose, and the pressure of a Martial Emperor spread out. The expressions of the surrounding people changed, and they desperately retreated.

Zhangsun Leming said coldly,”brother Yuanming, I’d advise you to be smarter. It’s useless to play dumb.” If we didn’t have concrete evidence, we wouldn’t have come here so presumptuously.”

Xiahou Yuanming’s heart skipped a beat, and he coldly said,”Alright, I’d like to see your so-called evidence. Hand it over!”

“Xiahou Jian, come out,” zu huanshui sneered.

“What?”

Everyone trembled, their faces filled with disbelief.

Xiahou Yuanming and Xiahou ye were also dumbstruck as they watched in a daze as Xiahou Jian walked out from the crowd and stood in front of zu huanshui with a smile.

you’re the one who called Jian ‘er’ Ge Ge Ge. What’s with this Ge Ge? ”

Xiahou Yuanming was completely dumbfounded. He felt his heart sink. He couldn’t understand Xiahou Jian’s betrayal at all.

“What’s going on?” Xiahou Jian sneered. You have to ask yourself that!”

“Jian ‘er, were you threatened by them?” Xiahou ye’s eyes were also filled with disbelief as he hurriedly asked.

“Coercion? No one is threatening me!”

I’m the one who sought them out to cooperate, ” Xiahou Jian said coldly. it’s all my own will!

The xiahous were all dumbfounded. Xiahou Jian was the family’s most valued eldest grandson. His future was limitless, and there was no possibility of him betraying them.

“You little b * stard!” Xiahou ye bellowed. Why? Give second uncle a reason!”

“Reason?”

Xiahou Jian pointed at Xiahou Yuanming and coldly said,”The reason is … You’ve lived too long! You’re already a hundred years old, yet you’re still holding on to the position of clan leader. Besides, you’re already a martial Supreme now, so you can at least live for another hundred years! A hundred years! From what I see, you won’t give up your position until you’re dead. So when will it be my turn?”

Xiahou Jian became more and more agitated as he spoke. He seemed to be roaring,”Besides, my father is already at the peak of the martial honor realm. He’ll break through to the martial Supreme realm soon! After you die a hundred years later, my father will be the clan leader for another hundred years. By then, wouldn’t it be two hundred years later when it’s my turn? Heavens! Two hundred years, can I live that long? Even if he was lucky enough to break through to the rank of a martial Supreme, he would still be a dying man after living for two hundred years. What was the point of being the clan leader? Old man, have you ever thought about my feelings?”

Xiahou Yuanming was completely stunned. He looked at the sneer on Xiahou Jian’s face and finally accepted this reality. His heart was cold, but he couldn’t be angry. He had to calm down. If this matter were to blow up and the blood God Palace found out, house Xiahou would be in danger.

“Haha, well said!”

Zu huanshui laughed, ” brother Yuanming, you have such a talented junior. You should have abdicated your position long ago. You took the position of the clan leader all by yourself and completely ignored the feelings of others. You finally tasted the consequences today, haha!

Xiahou Yuanming looked at his grandson with a dead heart, and said in a sad voice, ” “Even if I die, or Cheng ‘er dies, do you think the position of clan head will fall to you? Do you think these two tigers and wolves will help you rise to power? they’re too ambitious to wait to devour house Xiahou!”

Zu huanshui laughed and said, ” haha, who said so? we admire your young look the most. We will definitely train you well in the future. Now, tell us about the Jade tablet. Let this old man deny it.

yes. Xiahou Jian nodded. my second uncle brought the Jade tablet from the burial ground. It’s now hidden in the Xiahou family’s Treasury. The old man wanted to hand it over to sun renhao of the myriad treasures store tonight to take away, but unfortunately, sun renhao couldn’t come because he had something to do.
