Chapter 186: Freak Revealing His Might (6)
Xu Xing took out the pearl and held it in his palm. He looked at it with slight infatuation, as if he was looking at a lover, for a while before returning it to his ring.
This pearl was passed down from the ancestors of the Xu family and was a very magical item. It was even the reason why the Xu family could become one of the Five Great Families.
Unfortunately, this pearl had a limited number of uses and could only be used five times. After so many generations, the Xu family had already used it four times. Now, there was only one last chance, so he had been hesitating.
Xu Xing stood up and paced around the cave while thinking about the pros and cons and the future of the Xu family…
However… he was the only one left in the Xu family. Where was there any future? His greatest wish now was revenge…
With this in mind, Xu Xing steeled himself and took out the black pearl again. He bit his finger and dripped a drop of blood on it.
After the pearl absorbed the blood, it instantly released a dazzling light that illuminated the entire cave…
After the light faded, the image of a middle-aged man appeared in front of Xu Xing…
This man was in his forties with good features, a pair of sharp eyes, and a domineering air of superiority.
Xu Xing knelt on the ground and said respectfully, “The twentieth patriarch of the Xu family, Xu Xing, greets Old Patriarch.”
“Get up. Xu Xing, why did you call me?” the middle-aged man in the image said coldly with an expressionless face.
“Old Patriarch, our Xu family is gone. Please take revenge for our family.” Xu Xing sobbed with overflowing hatred.
“What do you mean?” the man called the old patriarch asked sternly.
“The Xu family of the Ling Feng Continent was destroyed.” Xu Xing explained the situation with a pained expression.
“Who is it? Who is so bold to provoke our Xu family?” the Xu family’s old patriarch roared with a dark face.
“It’s Leng Ruoxue, Ye Chen, and an unknown old man,” Xu Xing quickly said.
“Did you just say that the people who destroyed our Xu family are called Leng Ruoxue and Ye Chen?” the old patriarch asked to confirm.
“Yes, they are the masterminds,” Xu Xing said hatefully.
“Is Leng Ruoxue a member of the Leng family?” the old patriarch continued asking.
“Yes. Leng Ruoxue is from the Leng family, and Ye Chen is from the Ye family,” Xu Xing answered honestly. He would never dare to lie to his ancestor even though he was eager to seek revenge.
“The Leng family! This isn’t easy to deal with,” the old patriarch muttered to himself. It would be fine if it wasn’t the Leng family, but since she was from the Leng family, he…
“Old Patriarch, you have to uphold justice for us!” Xu Xing knelt on the ground and kowtowed non-stop. Blood flowed down his forehead, making his already disheveled appearance even more horrifying.
“Stop kowtowing. Get up. I’m thinking of a way!” the old patriarch said impatiently.
“Old Patriarch…” Xu Xing stopped kowtowing but didn’t dare to stand up. In front of the old patriarch, he was just an insignificant descendant. If the old patriarch was worried about the Leng family and didn’t dare to uphold justice for him, then he had no other choice. So at this moment, he was extremely nervous.
“If Leng Ruoxue weren’t from the Leng family…” The old patriarch wanted to say something but stopped himself. His face was full of difficulties.
“How did you offend her?” the old patriarch questioned unhappily.
“We did it all for the prosperity of the family! Leng Ruoxue has spots for the Creek of Affinity Mystic Realm. In order to obtain the spots… but we didn’t expect the Ye family to betray us and leak the news. And then Leng Ruoxue destroyed us.” Xu Xing’s face was full of pain. The Ye family was originally their ally, but they betrayed them in the end. Therefore, he hated the Ye family more than Leng Ruoxue. At this moment, he didn’t know that the Ye family had already disappeared from this world.
“I see,” the old patriarch said after a moment of silence.
Alas! The mystic realm! You really make people love and hate you. Every time you appear, you bring countless hopes to people. But at the same time, you bring disaster to people!
“Old Patriarch, you have to take revenge for us!” Xu Xing begged. He had no choice but to rely on the old patriarch now.
“Revenge? Do you think it’s so easy to take revenge? Then why do I have to say so much rubbish to you?” the old patriarch shouted with a stern face. The Xu family of the Ling Feng Continent was very important to him. Now that it was gone, he was also very distressed. But if he wanted to take revenge, he had to pay an immense price, in addition to being wary of the Leng family.
“Old Patriarch, actually, according to my guess, the Leng family probably lost contact with the Upper Realm a long time ago,” Xu Xing said after some thought.
“Are you sure?” the old patriarch asked anxiously. If so, then there was nothing to fear.
“It’s not just the Leng family. The other four Great Families and the imperial families should also be in the same situation,” Xu Xing took the opportunity to say. As long as the old patriarch was willing to send people down, the Xu family would definitely be able to take revenge. Therefore, he had to convince the old patriarch.
“Old Patriarch, this is a good opportunity! As long as you send people down, our Xu family can unite the Ling Feng Continent,” Xu Xing continued to coax.
“Do you think we can just casually send people down? There’s a massive price to pay,” the old patriarch reprimanded with a displeased face, but he was slightly tempted in his heart. If the matter was really as his descendant said, then it would really be a good opportunity.
“Old Patriarch, this is absolutely worth it. I promise you won’t regret it,” Xu Xingyu persuaded anxiously.
“Let me discuss it with the elders!” The old patriarch cut off the connection and disappeared.
“Old Patriarch!” Xu Xing fell to the ground dispiritedly, his hands clenched into fists, feeling resentful and bitter, not even knowing that his fingernails were digging into his flesh.
…
At this time, far away in the general’s mansion in the Eastern Lagoon Empire, Leng Ruoxue had become everyone’s personal chef.
“Xue’er, what are we having for dinner tonight?” Leng Qingtian looked curious as he watched Leng Ruoxue preparing dinner in the kitchen. They had sent the servants in the family away, and now they had to take care of their meals themselves, so Xue’er naturally became their dedicated chef.
