God of Defiance

"Father, I...I..."

Chu Xi's face turned pale and he stammered, unable to speak for a long time.

Chu Changqing looked gloomy and asked with a cold snort: "Where is Zhu Hao, the son of Hou Xiaohou?"

Yesterday, he and Hu Xiaohou had a very pleasant conversation. They both ordered their sons to enter the treasure of the thief Yiming and cooperate sincerely to fight against the enemy together.

Now, his son returned empty-handed and seriously injured, but Hu Xiaohou's son was nowhere to be seen. Could it be that he died in the treasure?

"he died!"

Chu Xi looked gloomy.

"Sure enough!" Hearing Chu Xi's answer, Chu Changqing nodded, the gloomy look on his face only getting worse, "Now, tell me everything you experienced in the treasure!"

When Chu Changqing heard this, he quickly started telling the story.

After a while, Chu Changqing finished his story and looked at Chu Changqing eagerly.

"Zhu Hao wanted to drag you all to die together, but he was burned into thin air on the spot. He really deserves to die, but the mysterious figure you mentioned is very extraordinary!"

After Chu Changqing thought about it for a few breaths, he looked thoughtful and whispered.

Chu Xi hurriedly replied: "Father, that shopkeeper Qin is also not simple. He probably stole the storage rings that Xishui and I had!"

"No! If nothing unexpected happens, the storage rings of the two of you were probably stolen by that mysterious figure, and shopkeeper Qin is very likely to be dead. The treasure of the thief Yiming finally fell into the hands of the mysterious figure. !”

Chu Changqing shook his head and then expressed his opinion.

Chu Xi was immediately stunned, then frowned and started thinking.

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that his father's view was extremely close to the actual situation.

As the person in charge of Luoshui Pavilion in Qianyang County, Shopkeeper Qin has extensive contacts and is cautious. It is unlikely that he would offend two princes at the same time for two storage rings.

Only that mysterious figure, because no one knew his identity, could commit such a heinous act without restraint.

However, there was one thing Chu Xi still couldn't figure out.

That is, since the mysterious figure has successfully captured the treasure of the thief Yiming, why did he not kill him and Su Xishui on the spot, but instead rescued the two of them from the ground, and then took off their storage rings? What is the meaning of this?

"snort!"

Suddenly, a cold snort interrupted Chu Xi's thinking.

Chu Changqing stood up, held his head high, clasped his hands behind his back, walked back and forth for a moment, and said loudly: "Butler!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a man in gray robe walked in from outside, bowed and saluted Chu Changqing: "Master Marquis, do you have anything to tell me?"

"Immediately order a search for all the people wearing black robes and black masks in the entire county. After being caught, they will be tortured and asked to find out their itineraries in the past two days. Anyone who participated in yesterday's Luoshui Pavilion auction will be reported Give me!"

Chu Changqing looked majestic and shouted sternly.

"Yes, my subordinates will arrange the execution immediately!"

The man in gray robe was stunned for a moment, then bowed and replied, and left in a hurry.

After the gray-robed man left, Chu Changqing sighed secretly.

Although he expected that the mysterious figure might have hidden quietly or simply left Qianyang County, he still held on to a glimmer of hope that he could be found.

"Okay, go down and recuperate!"

After a breath, Chu Changqing turned to Chu Xi and said.

Chu Xi nodded, looking lost, and limped out of the room.

At the same time, when Su Xishui returned to the Su Mansion, she was also questioned by Su Shilun in various ways.

After listening to his daughter's story, Su Shilun almost had the urge to vomit blood.

At the auction, he spent a high price to buy a place to enter the thief Yiming's treasure. As a result, his daughter Su Xishui not only got nothing, but her storage ring was stolen and she was seriously injured.

"The mysterious man in black robe!"

Like Chu Changqing, Su Shilun quickly judged that the mysterious figure in black robe was the biggest winner of this treasure hunt.

However, after all, the Su family is not a marquis clan and does not have any authority to openly search the whole county for black-robed men.

In other words, the Su family could only suffer this big loss silently and consider themselves unlucky.

…

When Chu Tian woke up, it was already the early morning of the next day.

After sleeping for a whole day, he had completely recovered his energy. He immediately packed up everything and went to the sewage bureau of the Hou Mansion as usual.

Soon, Chu Tian learned from Bai Lao that Chu Changqing had directly ordered to arrest warriors wearing black robes and black masks everywhere, and tortured them, forcing them to find out their true itinerary in the past two days.

"Haha, interesting!"

In the sewage bureau, Chu Tian sat in the supervisor's seat, rubbing the chair handle with his palms, and sneered secretly.

Since Chu Changqing is willing to give such an extremely ridiculous order, let the other party have a hard time. Even if the other party wants to break his head, I am afraid he will not expect that the mysterious man in black robe is in the Qianyang Hou Mansion, right under his nose. !

In the afternoon, Chu Tian took advantage of the opportunity when the convoy went out to dump excrement. He came to the street and visited several shops in a low-key manner. After carefully disposing of several items, he exchanged them for ten middle-grade spiritual stones.

late at night.

In the room, Chu Tian sat cross-legged, holding the wood spirit life bead in his hand, and whispered: "Ba Lao, are you okay? Can you teach me to absorb the evil spirit of the wood spirit in this bead?"

There are less than three months left before Tianji Academy's enrollment assessment, and Chu Tian's cultivation is still at the peak of the fifth level of the Body Refining Realm, and has not been able to break through to the sixth level of the Body Refining Realm.

Therefore, Chu Tian felt more or less anxious.

Uh-huh!

Not long after Chu Tian finished speaking, a ball of light flew out from the broken knife and turned into a human figure, floating in front of Chu Tian's eyes.

It’s Balao!

At this moment, although Ba Lao's body is still a little unreal, it is much more solid than yesterday.

Obviously, he benefited greatly from devouring and refining the remaining soul of the great thief Yiming.

After Ba Lao appeared, he did not speak, but pointed at the center of Chu Tian's eyebrows, and then quickly flew back to the broken knife.

When Chu Tian saw this, he understood instantly.

Ba Lao probably hasn't completely refined the remaining soul of the thief Yiming, so he needs to return to the Broken Sword as soon as possible to continue refining it.

Immediately, Chu Tian closed his eyes and began to check the extra information in his mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Chu Tian opened his eyes again, raised his hands, and with ten fingers flying at high speed, he struck one seal after another towards the Wood Spirit Life Orb in front of him.

After a moment, a trace of gray-black energy slowly overflowed from the Wood Spirit Life Pearl, and was immediately inhaled by Chu Tian's mouth.

…

For the next two months, Chutian's daily life was very regular.

During the day, he got up early and rushed to the sewage bureau of Qianyanghou Mansion to start a busy day of work. When the sun went down, he returned to his room, closed the door, and concentrated on absorbing the evil spirit of the wood spirit in the wood spirit life orb.

Although there is only a trace of wood spirit essence in the wood spirit life orb, only a small part of the wood spirit essence is converted into wood spirit evil energy.

But Chutian spent two months trying desperately to absorb the evil spirit of the wood spirit in the wood spirit life pearl.

As a result, his cultivation level rose two levels in a row, which was extremely astonishing, and he was promoted to the peak of the seventh level of the body refining realm. He was only a little short of breaking through to the eighth level of the body refining realm!

And the huge aftermath caused by the thief Yiming's treasure is slowly dissipating.

After Chu Changqing ordered the arrest of a large number of black-robed and masked warriors, he used various means to torture and extract confessions, but unfortunately he was unable to find the mysterious figure in the end.

Slowly, Chu Changqing gave up and continued searching.

He understood that it was completely impossible to find the mysterious figure!

At this time, there is still half a month left before the Tianji College enrollment assessment day.

On this day, Chu Tian came to the Sewerage Bureau early. After entering the courtyard, he found that the slaves working in the Sewerage Bureau were kneeling on the ground, their faces were pale, and their whole bodies were shaking.

When Chu Tian saw this, he frowned slightly and walked towards the room in front with a gloomy face.

However, just as Chu Tian's foot was about to step into the room, suddenly, a huge fist flew through the void at high speed and hit Chu Tian's chest with a punch!

"not good!"

Chu Tian's face immediately changed, and he hurriedly took several steps back, trying to avoid the fierce attacking fist shadow.

However, the speed of this fist shadow was too fast, far exceeding the speed of Chu Tian's retreat. In the blink of an eye, Chu Tian's chest was hit hard by the ferocious fist shadow!

puff!

Chu Tian vomited a large mouthful of blood. His whole body was like a human-shaped sandbag, flying upside down. After a breath, he fell heavily to the ground.

"Third Prince!"

Upon seeing this, Ba Lao, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly stood up, rushed to Chutian's side, and carefully raised Chutian's upper body.

Chu Tian's face was as pale as paper at this time, breathing heavily, staring at the door of the opposite room.

After a breath, a young man in black with a handsome face and a tall figure walked out of the room, with a disdainful and proud smile on his lips.

It is Chu Xi, the eldest son of Qianyang Hou Mansion!

His younger brother, Chu Li, followed closely behind him and looked at Chu Xi who fell on the ground with the same look of contempt.

"Trash is still trash after all. After months of hard training, your cultivation level has only returned to the fourth level of the body refining realm. This time, you don't have to go to Tianji Academy's admissions assessment!"

Chu Xi walked slowly to the gate of the courtyard, turned his head and glanced at Chu Tian sideways, and said coldly and sarcastically.

Last night, his mother, Mrs. Liu, told him to come to the Sewerage Bureau early this morning to test Chu Tian's strength with his own hands.

Chu Xi felt that this was not necessary at all, but Liu's attitude was very firm, so Chu Xi had no choice but to agree.

Now, having advanced to the ninth level of body refining realm, he tested it with his own hands and proved that he was right.

There is really no need to test the strength of a useless person!

"Hehe, Chu Tian, ​​listen to my brother's advice and don't be embarrassed during the admissions assessment in half a month. If you are sensible, kneel down and return that silver bow to me tonight. I can let you continue to be rubbish. director!"

Chu Li said with a ferocious smile.

Wow!

Hearing Chu Li's words, Chu Tian was suddenly filled with rage. He opened his mouth again and spat out a mouthful of blood, his whole body filled with misery.

Chu Xi and Chu Li looked at each other, grinned at the same time, and then swaggered out of the courtyard.

"Third Prince, are you okay?"

Seeing the two people leaving, Mr. Bai hurriedly supported Chu Tian and walked into the room. After helping Chu Tian sit down, he turned around and closed the door.

Chu Tian looked very miserable at the moment, and it was really indecent to be seen by so many slaves from the Waste Bureau.

However, when Mr. Bai closed the door and turned around, a look of shock immediately appeared on his old face.
