Chapter 126 Black Beads

Ten days later, Luo Xiu arrived at Qingyang Mountain.

There is an abandoned ancient temple on Qingyang Mountain. This is the boundary. Through this mountain forest, you can enter the territory of Ancient Jianzhou.

It was getting late, and Luo Xiu had no intention of traveling at night, so he planned to stay temporarily in this ancient temple.

A young man dressed as a scholar lit up a bonfire in the ancient temple. When Luo Xiu walked in, the young scholar suddenly looked wary.

In Luo Xiu's spiritual perception, this young scholar's cultivation level was only at the eighth level of body refining, and he seemed to be about the same age as himself.

Nodding towards the other party, indicating that he had no ill intentions, Luo Xiu immediately sat down cross-legged in a corner of the ancient temple.

The sky outside gradually darkened, dark clouds covered the sky, and there was a haze, without any moonlight.

In the ancient temple, the bonfire was rising. Luo Xiu closed his eyes and concentrated without making any other movements.

The young scholar, on the other hand, was always staring at him vigilantly, not daring to let down his guard at all.

Suddenly, there was a sound of soft footsteps outside the ancient temple, and then seven or eight people filed in and walked in.

The leader was a fat man with a pair of wind-catching ears, but his face revealed a ferocious look.

The people behind him all had thick arms and tall bodies, and were all martial arts practitioners.

These seven or eight people are all warriors in the Qi Sea realm. The fat man headed by them has the highest cultivation level and is at the eighth level of Qi Sea.

After the fat man walked in, he glanced around coldly and landed on the young scholar.

"Zhu Xuanguang, hand over your things!" the fat man said to the young scholar with a sneer.

The moment he saw these people, the young scholar felt as if he was facing a powerful enemy and hugged the package beside him.

"I don't know what you mean." The young scholar said in a panic, but the package he held tightly in his arms betrayed everything.

"I don't know how to show appreciation!" The fat man snorted coldly and winked at the people around him.

A burly man understood the idea and strode forward immediately, reaching out to grab the package held in the young scholar's arms.

At this moment, the young scholar seemed to be frightened, and staggered back. Unsteady on his feet, he fell backwards. The package in his arms was thrown out by him, just in the direction of Luo Xiu. .

Bang!

The package landed right next to Luo Xiu.

Slowly opening his closed eyes, Luo Xiu frowned and glanced at the panic-stricken young scholar. With his eyesight, he couldn't tell that the other party did this deliberately to attract the attention of those people. force.

Sure enough, when they saw the package falling next to Luo Xiu, seven or eight warriors headed by Fatty all looked at him with cold eyes.

"Boy, bring the package over here." The fat man narrowed his eyes slightly and said to Luo Xiu in a commanding tone.

However, what Fatty and others did not expect was that the young man in black robe, who had no martial arts aura in their eyes, sneered and said, "Get out!"

"Boy, do you want to die? Do you dare to interfere in our Zhu family's affairs? Which family are you a disciple of?" The fat man in charge showed an angry look.

At the same time, seven or eight Qihai warriors also gathered around and approached Luo Xiu.

Luo Xiu turned a deaf ear and looked at the young scholar named Zhu Xuanguang, but saw that when the other person's attention was attracted to him, he quickly fled towards the gate of the ancient temple.

The fat man at the head also noticed this, with a sneer in his eyes, "You two, go and catch that little bastard! The rest of you, help me snatch the things back!"

The two Qihai warriors immediately responded, leaping up and chasing after Zhu Xuanguang who was escaping.

The remaining five Qi Hai warriors swarmed forward and rushed towards Luo Xiu, each with a fierce look on his face.

Luo Xiu sat cross-legged and did not move. As soon as his mind moved, a majestic and fierce murderous intention spread from his body.

In an instant, the five Qi Hai warriors who rushed over felt like they were struck by lightning. Blood spurted from their mouths and flew backwards.

Nowadays, Luo Xiu's murderous aura has turned into a martial arts sword intention. Not to mention a mere warrior in the Qi Sea realm, even an innate martial artist cannot withstand the impact of the sword intention.

The fat man at the head was stunned. Under this fierce and terrifying murderous intention, his legs couldn't help but sway, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead and back.

There is no doubt that this harmless-looking young man in black robe must be a martial arts master who is more than congenital!

"Senior, have mercy on me..."

The fat man knelt down with a plop, his whole body dripping with cold sweat.

At this time, the sound of footsteps was heard. The two Qihai warriors who had just chased out captured the young scholar Zhu Xuanguang and happened to see this scene.

Isn't that fat man the chief steward of the Zhu family, actually kneeling in front of the young man in black robe?

Looking again, the original five companions fell to the ground in a mess, making the two Qihai warriors who captured Zhu Xuanguang feel horrified.

When the young men in black robes looked over, the two air sea warriors felt as if they were being targeted by ancient ferocious beasts. Their bodies were like nails nailed to the spot, and they could not even move their fingers.

As for the young scholar Zhu Xuanguang, who originally planned to let Luo Xiu be the scapegoat to attract attention and then run away, he was also dumbfounded.

The Zhu family were all Qihai warriors without spiritual awareness, so they didn't know that the package thrown out by Zhu Xuanguang actually only contained some clothes and sundries.

Feeling a sharp gaze falling on him, Zhu Xuanguang couldn't help but shudder, knowing that the young man in black robe must have seen through his plan.

"Senior, forgive me, junior, I didn't mean it." Zhu Xuanguang calmed himself down as much as possible and respectfully saluted the black-robed boy.

"Whether you did it on purpose or not, I can see clearly." Luo Xiu looked at Zhu Xuanguang indifferently.

"Young master, you don't know. This Zhu Xuanguang is the bastard who defected from my Zhu family. We were ordered to take him back. If you offend me, I hope you can show your respect." Fatty Zhu said cautiously.

"I've never heard of your Zhu family, and I'm not interested in getting involved in your Zhu family's affairs. But I'm just sitting here, and you want to take action against me, just with a single offense?"

When he said this, Luo Xiu stared at the young scholar Zhu Xuanguang, "You and I have never known each other, but you have to blame me for escaping. If it were an ordinary person, I'm afraid you would have killed me." ”

Hearing this, Zhu Xuanguang's expression changed. He didn't know how to answer. He gritted his teeth and reached out to take out a black bead from his arms.

Seeing Zhu Xuanguang take out the bead, the expressions of the three members of the Zhu family suddenly changed.

"As long as the senior forgives the junior's mistakes, the junior is willing to give this black pearl to the senior." Zhu Xuanguang said.

Luo Xiu reached out and grabbed it, and the black bead flew out of Zhu Xuanguang's hand and landed on Luo Xiu's hand.

The bead was completely black and it was hard to tell what material it was made of. When the divine consciousness probed into it, it was like a mud cow falling into the sea, without any special reaction.

No matter how you look at it, this black bead is very ordinary and has nothing special about it.

But judging from the reactions and expressions of Zhu Xuanguang and the three people from the Zhu family, it seems that this black bead is not simple.

"What is this black bead?" Luo Xiu asked Zhu Xuanguang.

According to Zhu Xuanguang, this black bead is a token that opens an ancient ruins. It was obtained by the ancestor of the Zhu family more than seventy years ago. The Zhu family also went to explore the ruins, but due to its low strength, it was damaged. He killed many people, but ultimately returned without success.

This matter was originally a secret of the Zhu family, and Zhu Xuanguang also heard about it from his father by chance.

As for Zhu Xuanguang himself, he is the concubine of the head of the Zhu family. His mother was born in a brothel and died of illness three years ago. However, because of his birth, Zhu Xuanguang was bullied in the family and his status was like a slave.

Therefore, Zhu Xuanguang found an opportunity, stole the family's black bead, and escaped.

The people who came to take Zhu Xuanguang back did not know these secrets. They only knew that the Zhu family's concubine stole the Zhu family's treasures when he escaped.

Any relic left from the ancient era can be called a treasure place, and it is in the hands of all the powerful forces in the world.

The Zhu family in Wufeng County was just an ordinary martial arts family. Luo Xiu did not expect that such a small family could actually have clues to an ancient ruins.

The Secret Realm of Ten Thousand Demons is also a relic from an ancient era, and Luo Xiu has benefited from it.

There is also the Xuanyou Secret Realm. If it wasn't amazing, how could all the forces be trying desperately to get in?

However, Zhu Xuanguang only knew that the black bead was a token that opened the ancient ruins, but he knew nothing about the more information about the ancient ruins.

Luo Xiu had an intuition that the ruins related to this black bead must be a good opportunity. Now that he had encountered it, he couldn't miss it.

Once something like opportunity appears, you must seize it. If you don't fight for it, you will just pass it by.

Luo Xiu is not a good person, and it is even said that there are no good people among martial arts practitioners in the world. In order to improve his own cultivation and go further on the road of martial arts, he must seize every hard-won opportunity.

Therefore, Luo Xiu planned to go to the Zhu family.

From the mouths of the four people in front of him, Luo Xiu learned that the Zhu family had an ancestor who had practiced for more than four hundred years and was a martial sect at the fourth level of god refining.

Apart from the ancestors of the Zhu family, the Zhu family's patriarch and three elders have the highest cultivation level. They are all innate cultivation level.

Such a martial arts family can only be regarded as average in Tianwu Kingdom.

Luo Xiu turned over his hand and put away the black beads, and said indifferently: "You can go."

While speaking, Luo Xiu's figure flashed and disappeared. This elusive behavior really made Zhu Xuanguang and the others stunned.

The four of them stood there without daring to move. After a while, they were sure that the scary young man in black robe was really gone, and finally heaved a sigh of relief.

"Zhu Xuanguang, you did a good job!"

As the chief steward, Fatty Zhu gritted his teeth and stared at Zhu Xuanguang, wishing he could kill this bastard with one blow.

The head of the family asked him to capture Zhu Xuanguang and recover the lost treasure. This was great. Not only did he lose his manpower, but the Zhu family's treasure also fell into the hands of an unknown master. What should we do?

Zhu Xuanguang's face was also ashen. He now regretted very much why he used the young man in black robe to escape. Otherwise, he might have asked for his help to escape the Zhu family's pursuit.

But now, the young man in black robe got the treasure and patted his butt and left. When he was taken back, he would definitely have to shed his skin even if he didn't die.

Two Qihai warriors held Zhu Xuanguang hostage, one on the left and the other on the right. The four of them walked out of the ancient temple and quickly returned to Zhu's house.

In the dark night sky, the group of four people did not notice that Luo Xiu's figure merged into the night sky and followed quietly.

The residence of the Zhu family is a small town not far from Qingyang Mountain, called Zhuhuo Town. The ancestor of the Zhu family is named Zhuhuo, and he is also a strong martial artist who has been practicing for nearly four hundred years. Single-handedly created the prosperity of Zhuhuo Town.

On the way back to Zhu's house, a group of people ran out of the nearby woods, holding swords, and surrounded Zhu Xuanguang and his party.
