Martial Arts From Bandits

  Chapter 495 Danger from the Xiao Family

   Even, even after breaking through to rank nine of the Golden Core, the spiritual power contained in the Golden Cicada Gu has not been exhausted.

  However, after going through the bottleneck of Jindan Rank 8 and Jindan Rank 9, there is not much spiritual power left, and Zhang Jing's cultivation base has only been improved a little bit.

   There is still a little distance from the peak of Jindan Jiuzhuan.

  However, even so, Zhang Jing is still very satisfied.

  You must know that the further you cultivate, the greater the resources you need. Zhang Jing broke through to the seventh rank of Jindan, but it took many years of Tangmen's accumulation.

  It took a lot of strength to reach the peak of Jindan rank seven.

   From this, we can also see the horror of the Golden Cicada Gu.

  The Miao family’s decades of painstaking cultivation is no joke.

According to Zhang Jing's estimation, it is impossible for him to reach the ninth turn of the Golden Core in a short period of time. It is likely that Li Xian will need to successfully become the emperor, use the power of the Eastern Qi Dynasty, or Zhang Jing will destroy another seven or eight Golden Core forces. able to reach.

  Xi Chu,

   Shaw.

  Since Xiao Zhan, the ancestor of the Xiao family, was promoted to heaven, the Xiao family has become a top power, and it is still a very extraordinary power.

   After all, there is Donghai Wenren echoing him.

   Prestige soared for a while.

   There is also the Mo family in Jiuhe Prefecture in Northern Yan, and the Zhao family in the Southern Jin Dynasty and their alliance.

   Of course, they are not without damage.

  The Zhang family of Nanling and the Yang family of Hongnong in the Eastern Qi Dynasty were ransacked and wiped out by Zhenwu Si Zhangjing, and the six families became four.

   This made the four major families lose face.

  He did not act rashly to attack Zhang Jing, so as not to attract revenge from the Eastern Qi court.

  But Zhang Jing pushed his nose on his face, didn't give them any face, and wiped out the Hongnong Yang family again.

   Now, the public opinion in the Jianghu suddenly boiled, and they all ridiculed the four big families as softies, so that some other forces saw the opportunity.

  If it weren't for the subsequent chaos of the Four Kingdoms that disrupted the world, I am afraid that the world would be a mockery of the four families.

  However, even so, the four major families are not doing very well now. If Xiao Zhan hadn't become a heavenly being, he would have had the power to attack the four major families.

  The principals of the four major families knew that they couldn't bear it any longer.

  The six majestic families were pressed down on the ground by a small Zhang Jing, how could this work?

  So, under the leadership of Donghai Wenren, the four major families decided to take action against Zhang Jing, and let the Dongqi court know that they are not easy to mess with.

  Anyway, the four great powers are in turmoil now. Some people think that even if Zhang Jing is killed, the Eastern Qi court can only swallow this breath.

  The combined strength of their four major families is not small, and the Eastern Qi court would not be so unwise.

   But it's a pity that when they agreed to take action against Zhang Jing, Zhang Jing returned to Shangjing, leaving them helpless.

  Although they are very strong, they still dare not even think about going to Beijing unless someone unites them.

   Later, some people from the Zhenwu Division secretly united with them and also wanted Zhang Jing's life.

   It makes them ecstatic that their opportunity has come.

  But within a few days, news suddenly spread that Zhao Yutang, the commander of the Zhenwu Division, died, and Zhang Jing took over as the commander.

  Became the youngest commander in Dongqi since he established the Zhenwu Division.

  Originally they had lost confidence and felt that there was no hope for killing Zhang Jing.

   Zhang Jing first took office, and coupled with the current situation, he will basically not leave the scope of Shangjing.

  However, there was news that Zhang Jing had secretly left Shangjing without a trace.

  Thus, the four major families who got the news began to spread their hands, trying to find Zhang Jing's trace and shame on him.

  However, it is a pity that Zhang Jing's whereabouts were too hidden, and he basically did not stop along the way. He rushed to the southern border at an extremely fast speed, so that the members of the four major families could not find their whereabouts at all.

   It seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

  At this moment,

  In the main hall of the Xiao family.

  Xiao Zhan, the patriarch of the Xiao family, sat on the throne and closed his eyes to meditate.

   On the seats on both sides of the body sit the high-level fighters of the Xiao family.

  There is one Jindan Grandmaster and four Xiantian Grandmasters.

   This is not all the power of the Xiao family. In fact, there are still several innate masters of the Xiao family who have not yet come.

  Among the six great families, the strength of the Xiao family is second only to the Donghai Wen family.

   It's just that they have been hiding their strength, that is, they gradually raised their profile after Xiao Zhan was promoted to heaven.

  Xiao Zhan looks very young, with sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a handsome appearance. If you don't know it, you may only think that he is only 20 or 30 years old when you meet him.

   But he is just a good-looking man, and his actual age is nearly three hundred years old.

   "Have you found the trace of Zhang Jing yet?" Xiao Zhan opened his eyes, and an inexplicable coercion gradually rose in the hall.

   "Brother, this chapter mirror seems to have disappeared out of thin air. There is no trace of it in the Eastern Qi Dynasty. I have already contacted several other families, and they are the same." The Jindan Patriarch of the Xiao family said truthfully.

  Although he called Xiao Zhan the eldest brother, his appearance was even older, with a streak of gray on his head.

  His breakthrough was late, coupled with the slow progress of his cultivation base, he slowly aged a bit.

  Actually, Xiao Zhan used a lot of resources to support him to break through to the golden elixir realm. It is very difficult for him to break through the golden elixir barrier by himself.

   "Forget it, nothing more, it seems that it is the mirror of the endless sky," Xiao Zhan shook his head, with a look of helplessness in his eyes.

  He originally wanted to use Zhang Jing in the first battle after he was promoted to heaven, so as to establish the majesty of the Xiao family, although it was somewhat overwhelming.

  But there is no need to talk about the so-called morals of the rivers and lakes when dealing with a butcher like Zhang Jing.

  Once Zhang Jing is beheaded, the benefits to the Xiao family will be beyond words.

First of all, he has prestige among the four major families. After all, the Wen family, who is the leader, has nothing to do with Zhang Jing. Second to Wenren's prestige.

  Although the Xiao family has no intention of challenging the status of the Wenren family, it is now in troubled times, and the Xiao family has to consider for themselves, and their family does not want to be subordinate to the Wenren family forever.

  Although the six families are tied in the rivers and lakes, anyone with a discerning eye knows that the Wen family is the boss of this alliance, and the other five families are just younger brothers.

  Before, there was no way. The Xiao family had to rely on the influence of Wenren's family to protect themselves, not to be interfered by other big forces, and to develop themselves silently.

   Otherwise, the Xiao family would have been coveted long ago.

  But a younger brother who doesn’t want to be a big brother is not a good younger brother. The Xiao family also has its own pursuit, especially after Xiao Zhan broke through in one fell swoop, such emotions have been brewing in the Xiao family.

   But Xiao Zhan suppressed him.

  Even if the Xiao family is going to rise, they will never be able to replace the Wen family. After all, the Wen family has always been protecting them.

   There is no way to replace the Wenren family, that is to have the prestige not inferior to the Wenren family among the four major families, and then break away from the influence of the four major families, make friends with the Wenren family, and gain a foothold in the Jianghu.

  Xiao Zhan had personally gone to the East China Sea to discuss with the ancestors of the Wenren family before, and this matter was brought up by the ancestors of the Wenren family.

  Xiao Zhan was moved instantly, and then agreed.

   After all, it’s just beheading Zhang Jing, as long as he goes out, he must be sure, no, it’s sure.

   As for the revenge of the Eastern Qi court, the Xiao family also has considerations.

   First of all, Xiao’s family is located in Western Chu, not close to Eastern Qi. If Eastern Qi really dispatches heaven and man, the first thing they have to pass is the Western Chu court.

  Furthermore, now that the four major kingdoms have been turned upside down, and the rebellion is dead, the Xiao family feels that Dong Qi's revenge may not be able to come.

   Moreover, the Wenren family has also promised that they will stand by the Xiao family's side and block the pressure from Dongqi for them.

  Actually, Xiao Zhan is very clear about Wenren's plan.

   It was nothing more than using his Xiao family to test Dong Qi's reaction.

  But Xiao Zhan still agreed, because the advantages of this matter outweigh the disadvantages.

  However, their vision is perfect, but it is very difficult to implement it.

   First of all, they couldn't find Zhang Jing's whereabouts, let alone intercept Zhang Jing.

  That's why he said that the sky never ends.

  After Xiao Zhan finished speaking, everyone present lowered their heads, looking a little ashamed.

   "However, we can't take it lightly. We still have to try our best to track down Zhang Jing's whereabouts. This opportunity is rare. Once Zhang Jing returns to Shangjing, we won't be able to do it even if we want to," Xiao Zhan said lightly.

   "Don't worry, brother, I will do my best to investigate."

   "Don't worry, old man"

   A group of masters in the realm of innate masters hurriedly expressed their opinions.

   "Well, let's go down," Xiao Zhan waved his hand to signal.

   Everyone got up and prepared to leave.

   "Old Ancestor, Mrs. Zhang asked to see her and said she has something important to say." A Xiao family member walked to the main hall to report.

  Xiao Zhan frowned, and looked down at a middle-aged man.

   That is the head of the Xiao family, and Mrs. Zhang is his wife.

   is the daughter of the Zhang family in Nanling, and the younger sister of the head of the Zhang family.

   is called Zhang Kaifeng.

   "Let her in," Xiao Zhan said lightly.

"Yes."

  The head of the Xiao family frowned, not knowing what the woman wanted to do.

  Ever since the Zhang family was destroyed, she has been advocating to avenge the Zhang family, and even argued with him for a long time.

  He wanted to take revenge, but he didn't have the strength.

  Although he is the head of the Xiao family, the two ancestors of the Xiao family are in charge of such a big matter.

   Only they have this strength.

   But the ancestor had already warned him before, don't let him interfere in this matter, otherwise he will be the head of the family.

   Soon, a plump woman walked up the hall. This woman was ordinary in appearance, somewhat similar to Zhang Zhiqing, but she had a very charming figure, especially a pair of peaks, which seemed to tear her clothes.

   One can draw attention to her pair of mountains at a glance.

  Xiao Zhan was no exception, he noticed it at a glance, but quickly withdrew his gaze.

  He is an ancestor, what kind of dignity is this?
