Nine Sun Dragon God

Chapter 17
This time, he came here for his parents.

"Tell me, what's the matter?"

As Xiao Yun expected, the Second Elder did not show much enthusiasm, his tone was lukewarm, and he still turned his back on him.

Xiao Yun stood up straight, bowed his head and cupped his fists again, respectfully said: "I came to thank the Second Elder for his kindness. In the past three years, it was the Second Elder who sent people to deliver medicine to Qingyang Town. This junior is very grateful!"

"Oh? It's nothing, after all, you are from my Xiaofu, please go back if you have nothing to do."

The second elder replied calmly, still twisting his beard.

"call!"

Xiao Yun's eyes were fixed, and after gritting his teeth, he stretched out his hand suddenly, and a soft light shot out from his palm, which filled the entire elder hall in an instant.

"What are you doing?!"

The second elder heard the sound of the sleeves, his complexion changed, he turned around abruptly, and saw Xiao Yun was using some tricks to make a transparent thing like a cover, and he could only notice it when he paid close attention.

"This is a sound-proof restriction. Don't worry about the ears of the partition. Only the two of us can hear the conversation here."

Xiao Yun said calmly.

This is just a kind of ability of the power of consciousness. Some strong people or people with strong mental power can use this technique, so there is nothing unusual about it.

"Alright...you can ask."

After concentrating on it for a long while, as if he believed Xiao Yun's words, the Second Elder finally compromised, he let out a long sigh, his face was no longer cold, on the contrary, there was a sense of relief.

"Second Elder, you have followed my father for many years, I want to know... Are my parents really killed as rumored?"

When he said this, Xiao Yun's tone trembled a little, his eyes were bloodshot, revealing a sense of cruelty.

"Ugh……"

The Second Elder shook his head, Xiao Yun was startled when he saw this expression, and was a little lost in thought.

"It's been 16 years, and the matter of your parents has been almost forgotten by people. You were diagnosed as born with no pulse at birth. This is the case with all the doctors in the capital. After hearing about it, the former emperor asked the imperial physician in the palace to come forward. It turned out to be useless…”

The second elder sighed again, shaking his head and pacing slowly, his eyes flickered with reminiscence: "Your parents went out to seek medicine to heal your dead veins, but the bad news came back to Xiao's residence. They are not missing, they have been brutally killed. Your grandfather went to look for them, but he was also missing, and his whereabouts are unknown..."

"Yes... who killed them?"

Xiao Yun was a little choked up, but he still tried his best to control himself not to explode at this moment.

"No one knows the truth."

The Second Elder stopped, turned around slowly, and patted Xiao Yun on the shoulder: "Don't be sad, it's hard for you to stay in the Xiao Mansion today, without a decent martial spirit, you won't be able to stand out in the Imperial City Challenge... ..."

"Imperial City Challenge...that's why they let me go back home? It's really cheap..."

Xiao Yun finally figured it out, and a sad smile appeared on his face.

"It is a martial arts event held once every ten years. All members of the royal family and people from the world can participate, but the qualification is that they must have a martial soul. The outcome of this competition will affect the royal family's preference for each family and even the individual's cultivation resources. Among them, the most valuable rewards are the only two Holy Martial Orders, one can imagine how much the Patriarch attaches great importance to it, right?"

The second elder explained in detail, looking at Xiao Yun, there was some helplessness and sadness in his eyes.

Once upon a time, the Shengwu Empire had three major palaces, from strong to weak, they were Prince Zhan's Palace, Prince Yao's Palace, and Prince Peng's Palace.

The name of Prince Zhan's Mansion is due to Xiao Yun's grandfather, Xiao Zhan, the powerful general of the former emperor!
The Medicine King's Mansion is the Qi family. Because of the alchemy of the ancestor of the Qi family, he was taken to the southern region by a mysterious strongman hundreds of years ago. He practiced alchemy in the great sect and became a generation of elders. He was named the "King of Medicine" The name.

Prince Peng's Mansion is Tang Peng, the patriarch of the contemporary Tang family. Together with Xiao Zhan, he was a powerful general of the former dynasty and an important minister of the founding of the country.

But now, ever since Xiao Long and his wife went out to seek medicine and were plotted against by traitors, his father went to look for it, and even disappeared until now, the name of Zhanwangfu no longer exists, and it has been reduced to an ordinary family ever since.

The Second Elder secretly calculated that Xiao Yun was the only one left from the ancestor of the Xiao Mansion to the present.

But this only seedling, the awakened martial soul is so weak, so fragile that it can't even be counted as a low-level first-rank Huang rank, how can it have the ability to avenge the family?
"Holy military order? What kind of token is that?"

Xiao Yun tried his best to recall, but he couldn't find the memory of Shengwuling. Maybe his status was too low before, so he didn't have the right to know.

"The Holy Martial Order is a qualification for the people of our small country to enter the sect from the sect of the Southern Region. Each kingdom has a different name, but the function is the same. Anyone can use this order to enter the sect and become a disciple. Every sect in the world agrees with this matter, and it cannot be faked, but it is a pity that the royal family took part, and there are only two pieces every ten years..."

The Second Elder said with emotion, he remembered that the tradition of the Imperial City Challenge had existed since the founding of the People's Republic of China, when he unfortunately lost at that time, recalling it now is very regretful.

"So this is the Imperial City Challenge..."

Xiao Yun's eyes were fixed, and he secretly made up his mind that if possible, he must win a Holy Martial Order!

"Then...were there any clues back then?"

Looking at the Second Elder again, Xiao Yun felt unwilling. He faintly felt that the murder of his parents was not so simple!
"The only clue is your grandfather. He went to look for it at that time, but after more than ten years, he still hasn't come back. His life and death are uncertain..."

The second elder frowned and said, with a trace of regret in his eyes.

"Okay, I see... the elders take care, and the juniors leave."

Seeing that there was nothing to be asked from the second elder, Xiao Yun nodded, his eyes turned cold, and he looked out of the hall, secretly making a decision in his heart.

"You... remember to be careful!"

After a long time, the second elder said solemnly.

……

After leaving the Elder Hall, Xiao Yun didn't leave the Xiao Manor directly, he still had something to do.

There is no need to speak, no need to ask, Xiao Yun now understands that the person who wrote the word "escape" on the teacup that day must be the Second Elder!
It's just that the second elder also has his difficulties, after all, this is Xiao's mansion.

The next step is to wait for the race.

It is rumored that the No.1 of the Tomorrow Clan's combat prowess has the qualification to enter the Wuhun Pagoda for training. What Xiao Yun likes is the reward for clearing the level, including a Soul-fixing Pill!

This pill is very practical for people in the Martial Vein Realm, it can moisten the Martial Vein and stabilize the Martial Soul, but the price of the required medicinal materials is very expensive, at least with Xiao Yun's current financial ability, it cannot be purchased.

Along the way, some passersby pointed at Xiao Yun's back, shaking their heads and curling their lips.

"That man is a trash with no level of Wuhun. He used to be the son of the previous Patriarch, but now he is not even as good as a servant!"

"Damn it, I just slept late, what did I miss? Tell me quickly..."

……

Xiao Yun ignored it, mainly because he didn't have time to teach those who spoke rudely. He was eager to find out what his awakened Martial Soul was.
At this moment, a guess appeared in his mind, so he quickened his pace, a little impatient.

As soon as he returned to the bedroom, Xiao Yun frowned, and saw that Dafu was greeting several servants and cleaning the room everywhere.

"Hey, isn't this our Mr. Xiao? My miss said, you are not qualified to live here in the future, so hurry up, you little trash!"

At this moment, Zou Dafu changed his respectful posture from yesterday, and returned to the expression when he expelled Xiao Yun back then, full of sneers and sneer.
