Chapter 161 The Hope of Slaying Freedom

"Yes, it's to unseal the Dao Seal."

With his life hanging in the balance in Xu Ning's hands, Bao Xinxuan honestly replied, "We previously obtained a Dao seal from the Wei family. To unseal it, we need the bloodline of a descendant of the Wei family."

The fact that the Bao family obtained the Dao Seal was originally ordered by Bao Qiuhua to be kept secret.

However, at this moment, Bao Xinxuan revealed it without any hesitation.

For Bao Xinxuan, family interests were far less important than his own life.

"You're clearly from Jifeng Prefecture, so why are you targeting the Wei family of Feiyun Prefecture?"

Xu Ning was also quite curious about this.

"More than three hundred years ago, during the Great Beast Tide, a Dao Realm Grandmaster surnamed Wei emerged in Jifeng Prefecture. That Dao Realm Grandmaster left behind a Dao Seal for his family's descendants to study. However, several decades later, the Dao Realm Grandmaster left Jifeng Prefecture, and his family, because they possessed too many resources, was targeted by others, and the family experienced turmoil."

Meeting Xu Ning's cold gaze, Bao Xinxuan spoke quickly: "So, the Wei family head at the time led his clan to Feiyun Prefecture. However, because the retreat was hasty and someone set up an ambush, some of their family's resources were lost, including the Dao Seal Stone Tablet."

"After many twists and turns, the stone tablet came into the hands of my Bao family. However, after obtaining it, we discovered that the stone tablet actually contained a bloodline seal, so we had no choice but to go to Feiyun Prefecture to search for the person..."

Bao Xinxuan watched Xu Ning nervously, fearing that he might suddenly kill him.

"So that's how it is..."

Xu Ning nodded with a forced smile.

"Has the bloodline restriction on Dao Yin been lifted now?"

Xu Ning asked again.

"It's almost done, it'll be solved soon."

Bao Xinxuan's eyes darted around, and he said ingratiatingly, "Sir, if you are interested in that seal, I can find a way to get it out for you and give it to you as an apology for offending you back then."

"Give me that seal?"

Xu Ning's eyes twitched.

For other Void Realm martial artists, the Dao Seal is a powerful tool to accelerate their cultivation.

However, it was basically of no use to Xu Ning.

Moreover, Xu Ning now possesses a Dao Seal.

"Yes, sir, if you let me return to my family, I can find a way to work with you from the inside to get the Dao Seal out."

Bao Xinxuan said earnestly.

He spoke respectfully, but in his heart, he harbored a dark plan.

Bao Xinxuan now only hopes that Xu Ning will act impulsively after hearing about the Dao Seal and then release him.

Then he could return to his family, find Bao Qiuhua and Fang Jie, and turn the tables on Xu Ning.

"The Dao Seal is a good thing... but compared to that, I'd rather take your head."

Xu Ning's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Bao Xinxuan's head.

He never expected that Xu Ning would not be interested in the Dao Seal at all.

Bao Xinxuan immediately became anxious: "Don't be so arrogant! Think carefully before you attack me! I am a member of the Bao family, a subordinate family of the Yue Lan Sect, with countless experts within our clan. Moreover, my Bao family has elite descendants who are true disciples of the Yue Lan Sect! If you kill me, you'd better think carefully about the consequences!"

Seeing Bao Xinxuan's blustering but cowardly demeanor, Xu Ning's expression was a half-smile: "Elite junior, a true disciple of the Yue Lan Sect?"

"Has Fang Jie not yet informed your family about Bao Ruyuan's death in the secret realm?"

Upon hearing this, Bao Xinxuan's heart skipped a beat, and his pupils contracted.

"How...how did you know...?"

Bao Xinxuan's voice trembled slightly.

"Because I killed Bao Ruyuan with my own hands!"

Xu Ning's voice was like a sharp knife, tearing Bao Xinxuan's heart apart.

"My lord, my lord, please spare me! I am willing to go through fire and water for you, and serve you faithfully."

Bao Xinxuan was stunned, then realized what was happening and broke down emotionally, so he immediately begged for mercy.

At this moment, Bao Xinxuan finally realized just how terrifying the young man in front of him was.

Xu Ning ignored Bao Xinxuan's attitude.

He was about to make a move.

"Oh, right..."

Xu Ning seemed to remember something: "Why did you plot against Bao Weijing before?"

"It was Madam Quan. She gave me ten Pure Origin Pills and told me to kill him."

At this moment, Bao Xinxuan also seized every opportunity to show his obedience to Xu Ning.

"I see..."

Xu Ning smiled and said, "Thank you."

However, a murderous intent then flashed in Xu Ning's eyes.

Bao Xinxuan also keenly noticed this.

"My lord, please let me go!"

Bao Xinxuan was completely panicked.

But it was too late.

Xu Ning raised his hand, his palm surging with true energy, without even using any elemental power.

Bang!

Xu Ning slapped Bao Xinxuan on the head.

The next moment, Bao Xinxuan stopped making a sound.

His head lolled to the side, and his life was cut off.

"One has been resolved."

Once Bao Qiuhua is dealt with, Xu Ning's feud with the Bao family will be largely resolved.

Xu Ning felt a pang of regret as he watched Bao Xinxuan die at his hands.

A year ago, the terrifying Void Realm Martial Master, whom he considered high above and powerless to fight, could not withstand a single move from him.

Because he had been making rapid progress, Xu Ning subconsciously overlooked the extent of his improvement.

Looking back now, I am pleased with myself for having reached this level.

Xu Ning put the mask back on.

He did not dispose of Bao Xinxuan's body, but left directly.

I didn't even use any elemental power just now; relying solely on my true energy, there's no way anyone would suspect me.

Moreover, Bao Weijing had previously told him that Bao Xinxuan, the clan elder who was leading the team this time, had made enemies everywhere and had many adversaries.

This move of mine will most likely be interpreted as an act of revenge.

at this time.

Bao Weijing has just killed a mid-level mortal-realm demon beast.

Although he had completed his trial mission, he was still uneasy.

The assassination attempt by the clan elders had kept him constantly on edge.

Fortunately, the thought of Senior Tao brought him some peace of mind.

With his mind preoccupied, Bao Weijing arrived at the place where the family members had previously gathered.

At this time, several guards were stationed here.

Everyone was quite surprised to see Bao Weijing leading the way with the organ evidence from the monster.

Bao Weijing's high efficiency was beyond expectations.

After Bao Weijing returned, the family members who had gone to hunt monsters also returned one after another.

Some of them brought back spoils of war, completed the trial, and had smiles on their faces.

Some people, however, were dejected and injured.

"Where has the clan elder gone? Why hasn't he arrived yet?"

Half an hour has passed, and all the family members who participated in the trial, whether they succeeded or failed, have now returned.

Because there weren't many powerful monsters in the mountains, and the guards provided timely support, some of these younger generation members were injured, but none of them died.

However, after they gathered together, they discovered that the leader of this operation, Elder Bao Xinxuan, was nowhere to be found.

"Let's go find the clan elder."

When the head of the guards saw that Bao Xinxuan had not appeared for a long time, he called three guards to go and search for him.

At this moment, Bao Weijing's heart was pounding.

He has no idea what happened between Senior Tao and Bao Xinxuan.

However, at that moment, Bao Weijing suddenly heard a sound.

"Bao Xinxuan is dead. It was Madam Quan who plotted against you."

Then, the sound disappeared.

"What?!"

Bao Weijing instantly realized that Senior Tao was sending him a message.

"Elder Bao Xinxuan is dead... Indeed, Senior Tao was a master even among Void Realm Martial Masters!"

Bao Weijing felt a sense of relief, but then a shadow of gloom appeared in his eyes: "Madam Quan... so it was Madam Quan who wanted to take my life!"

"For so many years, she has been deliberately making things difficult for me, not wanting me to live a comfortable life. Now it seems that she not only wanted to make me uncomfortable, but also wanted to kill me. She was a prime suspect when my mother passed away, and now it seems that she really might have secretly done it..."

Bao Weijing's hatred grew stronger: "That vicious woman, Madam Quan, once I gain power and status, I will definitely kill her myself to avenge my mother and vent my anger!"

In the mountains.

Several guards discovered Bao Xinxuan's body.

"The clan elder has been killed!"

The guard leader and several guards looked at each other in bewilderment.

On everyone's face was an expression of unbelievable fear.

Elder Bao Xinxuan, he is a Void Realm Martial Master!

"Quickly, take the elder's body back to the clan and report this matter!"

The guard leader made a decisive decision.

"yes!"

Several guards immediately responded.

……

Bao Mansion.

Inside the underground prison cell.

It was extremely dark here, with only a few dim wall lamps flickering.

Wei Changqing, Wei Binglin, and Wei Zicheng were imprisoned in three adjacent cells.

They wore special shackles, and their internal energy was also sealed.

At this moment, although they were dressed relatively neatly, their faces were pale and they looked emaciated, as if they lacked vitality.

The three faces were filled with deep despair, devoid of any hope.

"Third Uncle, is there any chance we can get out of here alive...?"

At this moment, Wei Binglin spoke up.

His voice was very weak.

Since they were brought here, they have been bled out every few days.

Although food and medicinal resources were plentiful, it still greatly damaged their health.

"have no idea……"

At this moment, Wei Changqing's tone was also devoid of hope: "I only hope that the family can find us..."

In fact, even now, Wei Changqing and the other two still don't know where they have been taken.

"Third Uncle..."

Wei Zicheng, who was no longer as energetic as before, said, "Recently, they've been collecting blood more frequently and in larger quantities. I suspect..."

Wei Zicheng didn't continue, but they all knew very well that their time together might be coming to an end.

"Let's just take it one day at a time."

Wei Changqing had no intention of encouraging the two: "Compared to the guards who accompanied us at the time, and Xu Ning, we are probably not so bad."

The three fell silent again.

They felt that the three of them were still useful after being kidnapped, but Xu Ning, in their eyes, might have already met with an accident.

"Will I ever see the sunlight again...?"

Wei Zicheng stared blankly at the candlelight on the wall lamp.

Thank you Mr. Wang for the generous donation!
