Chapter 160: Hand Knife
“Yes, to unseal the dao seal.”
Bao Xinxuan’s life was in Xu Ning’s hands, so he answered honestly. “We have received a dao seal from the Wei family in the past. If we want to unseal it, we will need the blood of the descendants of the Wei family.”
Bao Qiuhua had ordered that the matter of the Wei family’s dao seal be kept secret.
But at this time, Bao Xinxuan revealed without hesitation.
For Bao Xinxuan, the family benefits were far less important than his own life.
“You are from State Jifeng, so how did you find the dao seal of the Wei family?”
Xu Ning was quite curious about this.
“More than 300 years ago, during the beast tide, there was a dao realm master with the surname Wei in State Jifeng. The dao realm master left a dao seal for the younger generation of the family to observe. However, after a few decades, the dao realm master left State Jifeng. And because the family behind him had too many resources, they were targeted, and the family went through a tumultuous period.”
Bao Xinxuan looked at Xu Ning’s cold eyes and quickly said, “Therefore, the head of the Wei family took his family and left for State Feiyun. However, because of their hasty retreat and a sudden ambush, some of their family resources were lost, and one of them was a dao seal stone tablet.”
“After a while, the dao seal stone tablet fell into the hands of the Bao family. But after we got it, we discovered that the dao seal had a bloodline seal, so we had to go to State Feiyun to find someone suitable.”
Bao Xinxuan looked at Xu Ning nervously, afraid that he would suddenly kill him.
“I see…”
Xu Ning nodded with a fake smile.
“Has the bloodline restriction on the dao seal been lifted?”
Xu Ning asked again.
“Soon, it’s about to be lifted.”
Bao Xinxuan rolled his eyes and said, “Master, if you are interested in the seal, I can find a way to help you get it out and give it to you as an apology.”
“Give me that seal?”
Xu Ning’s eyes moved.
For other void realm martial artists, dao seals were a tool for accelerating cultivation.
But for Xu Ning, it was basically useless.
Moreover, Xu Ning already had a dao seal in his hand.
“Yes, Master, if you let me go back to the family, I can find a way to cooperate with you and get the dao seal out.”
Bao Xinxuan said earnestly.
He said respectfully, but in his heart, he had a devious plan.
Bao Xinxuan only wanted Xu Ning to let him go after hearing about the dao seal.
Then, he could return to his family, find Bao Qiuhua and Fang Jie, and kill Xu Ning together.
“Dao seals are good stuff, but I prefer to take your head.”
Xu Ning’s words poured a bucket of cold water over Bao Xinxuan.
He didn’t expect that Xu Ning was not interested in the dao seal at all.
Bao Xinxuan suddenly panicked: “Don’t be too arrogant, you have to think carefully! I am from the Bao family, and the Bao family is a subordinate family of the Yuelan Sect. There are many experts in the family. Moreover, the Bao family has an elite descendant, a core disciple of the Yuelan Sect! If you kill me, you have to think carefully about the consequences!”
After seeing Bao Xinxuan’s fierce appearance, Xu Ning had a smile on his face. “An elite descendant, a core disciple of the Yuelan Sect?”
“Didn’t Fang Jie tell your family about Bao Ruyuan’s death in the mystic realm?”
Bao Xinxuan’s heart skipped a beat, his pupils shrank.
“You… how did you know…”
Bao Xinxuan’s voice was trembling.
“Because I killed Bao Ruyuan myself!”
Xu Ning’s voice was like a sharp knife, cutting into Bao Xinxuan’s heart.
“Master, Master, please let me go, I am willing to do anything for you.”
Bao Xinxuan was stunned. He then broke down and quickly begged for mercy.
Bao Xinxuan finally realized how terrifying this young man was.
Xu Ning ignored Bao Xinxuan’s cries.
He was about to attack.
“Oh yeah…”
Xu Ning suddenly remembered something. “Why did you attack Bao Weijing?”
“It was Madam Quan. She gave me ten Pure Source Pills to kill him.”
Bao Xinxuan seized every opportunity to show Xu Ning his obedience.
“Is that so…”
Xu Ning smiled. “Thank you.”
However, Xu Ning’s eyes were full of murderous intent.
Bao Xinxuan noticed this.
“Master, let me go!”
Bao Xinxuan was completely flustered.
But it was too late.
Xu Ning raised his hand as true qi surged in his palm. He didn’t even use his attribute power.
Bang!
Xu Ning slapped Bao Xinxuan’s head.
Bao Xinxuan stopped talking.
His head tilted to the side. He was dead.
“One is taken care of.”
As long as he dealt with Bao Qiuhua, the feud between Xu Ning and the Bao family would be resolved.
Xu Ning sighed as he watched Bao Xinxuan die in his hands.
A year ago, he thought that he was a high and mighty void realm martial artist, but now he couldn’t even withstand a single blow from him.
Because he had been making rapid progress, Xu Ning subconsciously ignored how far he had got.
Now that he looked back, he was happy that he had reached his current realm.
Xu Ning put on the mask again.
He didn’t deal with Bao Xinxuan’s body. He just left.
He didn’t even use his attribute power just now, and with only his true qi as the cause of death, no one would suspect him.
Bao Weijing had told him before that Bao Xinxuan had made enemies everywhere.
His death would most likely be regarded as revenge from his past enemies.
At this time.
Bao Weijing had just killed a mid level mortal realm demon beast.
However, although the mission was completed, he was still uneasy.
An assassination attempt by a clan elder made him worried.
But fortunately, after thinking about Senior Tao, he felt more at ease.
Bao Weijing went to the place where the family members gathered.
Several guards were stationed there.
Everyone was quite surprised to see Bao Weijing walking over with the organs of the demon beast.
Bao Weijing’s efficiency was beyond expectations.
After Bao Weijing returned, the family members who went to hunt demon beasts also returned one after another.
Among them, some people brought back the spoils of war and completed the trial with smiles on their faces.
Some were dejected and injured.
“Where did the family elder go? Why hasn’t he come yet?”
An hour had passed, the descendants of the family clan, whether successful or not, had all returned.
Due to there being not many powerful demon beasts in the mountains and with the guards coming in time, although some of these young descendants were injured, no one died.
However, after they gathered together, they discovered that the leader of this mission, Elder Bao Xinxuan, had disappeared.
“Let’s go and find the family elder.”
The guard leader noticed that Bao Xinxuan did not appear, so he called three guards to search together.
Seeing this, Bao Weijing’s heart was beating fast.
He didn’t know what happened between Senior Tao and Bao Xinxuan.
However, Bao Weijing suddenly heard a voice.
“Bao Xinxuan is dead. Madam Quan is behind this.”
Afterwards, the voice disappeared.
“What?!”
Bao Weijing instantly realized that it was a message from Senior Tao.
‘Elder Bao Xinxuan is dead. Sure enough, Senior Tao is a master even among void realm martial artists!’
Bao Weijing was relieved, but soon after, a dark look appeared in his eyes. “Madam Quan… So it was Madam Quan who wanted to take my life!”
“All these years, she has been deliberately making things difficult for me. She didn’t want me to live comfortably at all. Now it seems that not only does she want to make my life difficult, but she also wants to kill me. When my mother passed away, she was a big suspect. Now it seems that she really did have a hand in this…”
The hatred in Bao Weijing’s heart continued to grow. “Madam Quan… once my strength and status improve, I must kill her and avenge my mother!”
In the mountains.
Several guards found Bao Xinxuan’s body.
“The family elder was killed!”
The guard leader and several guards looked at each other.
Everyone’s face was full of disbelief and fear.
Bao Xinxuan was a void realm martial artist!
“Quick, take the corpse of the family elder, return to the clan and report this matter!”
The guard leader made a prompt decision.
“Yes!”
The guards quickly responded.
…
Bao family mansion.
Inside an underground dungeon.
This place was extremely dark, with only a few weak wall lamps swaying.
Wei Changqing, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng were imprisoned in three adjacent cells.
They were wearing special shackles, causing their internal qi to be sealed.
Although they were wearing relatively clean clothes, their faces were pale and haggard. They looked like they were short of blood.
There was deep despair on their faces. There was no hope at all.
“Uncle, can we get out alive?”
Wei Binglin said.
His voice was weak.
Ever since they were brought here, they had to get their blood taken every few days.
Although they had plenty of food and medicinal materials, this still greatly damaged their bodies.
“I don’t know…”
Wei Changqing’s tone was hopeless. “I just hope that the family can find us…”
In fact, Wei Changqing and the other two didn’t know where they were taken to.
“Uncle…”
Wei Zicheng was no longer energetic. “Recently, the frequency and the quantity of blood extraction have increased. I suspect…”
Wei Zicheng didn’t continue, but they all knew very well that their days were coming to an end.
“Every day counts.”
Wei Changqing didn’t have the mood to encourage the two. “Compared to the guards and Xu Ning, we might be in a better situation.”
The three were silent again.
Although the three of them were captured, they still had some use, but in their opinion, Xu Ning might have already encountered an accident.
‘Can I still see the sun?’
Wei Zicheng stared at the candlelight on the wall.
