Chapter 183: Taking hostages

Xu Jingnian was stunned.

He never expected that Luo Xiu would actually promise him such a benefit.

The sixth-grade elixir is not a piece of cabbage. Even among the top ten aristocratic families in the Tianwu Kingdom, it is an extremely precious treasure. It is usually hidden and tucked away, and it is not easy to take it out and use it.

And this guy actually promised himself ten pills all at once?

Of course, these ten sixth-grade elixirs were not given for free, but were refined for free, which meant that he only needed to come up with the materials for ten sixth-grade elixirs.

Even so, the value implicit in this is immeasurable, because there is only one sixth-level alchemy master in the entire Tianwu Kingdom, that is, the imperial uncle of the Fan family.

This imperial uncle of the Fan family seldom makes elixirs, and the remuneration he charges is extremely high. It takes six materials to exchange for one elixir, which is higher than the price that usually requires three materials to exchange for one elixir. Fully doubled.

A piece of elixir for refining a sixth-grade elixir is worth at least hundreds of thousands of vitality stones. Calculating it this way, he obtained ten sixth-grade elixirs and saved fifty materials. Such a fortune would cost the entire Xu Even if the family goes bankrupt, they can't get it out.

Especially the sentence added by Luo Xiu at the end implies a certain deep meaning. Can seventh-grade elixirs be refined? Doesn't this mean that the mysterious master behind Luo Xiu is at least a seventh-grade alchemy master?

In terms of alchemy, formation, and casting, the fourth to sixth ranks are masters, and the seventh to ninth ranks are grandmasters. There is a huge threshold between the sixth and seventh ranks, which is the transformation from master to master. .

The existence of a seventh-level alchemy master is definitely something that no Martial Emperor-level powerhouse would want to provoke.

"Little friend Luo, I have something to say, I don't know if I should ask it or not."

Xu Jingnian took a deep breath and suddenly spoke slowly.

"Senior, please tell me."

"If my prediction is correct, my master must be an extremely powerful person. It shouldn't be a problem to destroy a mere Pei family. Why do you want me to help you?" Xu Jingnian asked.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Luo Xiu's lips, and he said calmly: "Master, he has been hiding in the world for many years and will not easily get involved in secular affairs. Although if I go to ask him, he will definitely be willing to take action, but if I do As a disciple, you can’t go to the master to take action whenever something happens, right?”

Luo Xiu didn't explain much about this, implying a deep meaning of 'you understand'.

"Of course, if it is inconvenient for this busy senior to take action, the junior can also find someone else. I believe that for the reward of ten sixth-grade elixirs, many Martial Lord-level experts will be tempted." Luo Xiu said with a smile. , fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

Xu Jingnian's face couldn't help but twitch twice. How could he not understand what Luo Xiu meant when he was so mature?

Not to mention ten sixth-grade elixirs, even if it is reduced by half, five sixth-grade elixirs will definitely make many Martial Lord-level experts flock to you and do whatever you want.

"What are you talking about, little friend? Our friendship lies here. I will definitely help you with this." Xu Jingnian quickly agreed.

As for the attack on the Pei family that would lead to attacks from other forces, the ancestor of the Xu family has completely forgotten it, because these ten sixth-grade elixirs are worth the risk!

Hearing that the ancestor of the Xu family finally agreed, Luo Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, finally deceiving this old guy.

"When do you plan to take action?" Xu Jingnian asked.

"Of course, the sooner the better." Luo Xiu said in a deep voice. Yan Yue'er's life was in danger at any time, and he didn't want to wait for a moment.

After a while, Luo Xiu and Xu Jingnian walked out of the small inn and immediately walked towards the Pei family's mansion in the city.

People were coming and going on the street, especially the street where the Pei family's mansion was located, which was decorated with lights and colorful decorations, and was patrolled back and forth by guards armed with swords and spears.

Xu Jingnian frowned slightly, "Little friend, I think if we want to take action against the Pei family, it would be best to postpone it for a few days."

"Why?" Luo Xiu frowned.

"There were rumors some time ago that Pei Qingfei, the leader of the younger generation of the Pei family, is only thirty-three years old and has reached the ninth level of god refining. Therefore, he is valued by an elder of Xuanyang Sect and wants to accept him as his direct disciple."

Xu Jingnian narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "If I am right as I expected, this news has been confirmed. The Pei family has just decorated the event to celebrate this matter. All the forces in the Tianwu Kingdom will also come to celebrate."

The reason Xu Jingnian knew this was because the Xu family also received the invitation letter, but as his ancestor had been behind the scenes for a long time, there was no need for him to come forward for such things.

"With all the forces gathering together, if we take action at this time, we will definitely be in trouble." Xu Jingnian said with some hesitation.

"Haha, even if the Pei family invites various forces to celebrate this event, it is impossible for a powerful Wujun to come personally. As long as there is no Wujun, we have nothing to worry about."

Luo Xiu curled his lips and said calmly: "The benefits I promised to seniors are great enough. Could it be that seniors have to push back for such a little risk?"

"What are you talking about, little friend..." Xu Jingnian smiled awkwardly.

There was a restaurant not far from the Pei family's residence. Luo Xiu and Xu Jingnian did not rush into the Pei family's residence directly. Instead, they looked at the Pei family's residence from a distance on the second floor of the restaurant.

As the saying goes, plan before taking action, which is a matter of life and death for Yan Yue'er. Although he is very urgent to save people, he can only hold back his impulsiveness.

"Little friend Luo, since the Pei family is connected with the Xuanyang Sect, if we touch the Pei family, we will provoke the behemoth Xuanyang Sect." Xu Jingnian said, looking in the direction of the Pei family's mansion.

"Even if Xuanyang Sect is behind the scenes, I will definitely destroy the Pei family!" Luo Xiu said in a tone that left no room for doubt.

Xu Jingnian laughed dryly and did not explain much. In his opinion, there was a mysterious master behind Luo Xiu, so there was really no need to worry about the Xuanyang Sect.

At this moment, a woman wearing a black tight-fitting military uniform walked out of the Pei family's mansion. Her plump figure was set off by the tights, and her slender legs attracted the attention of many eyes.

In front of the gate of the Pei family's mansion, there were many guests waiting to enter the Pei family. Many of them greeted the woman in black with a more respectful look.

"Who is this woman?" Luo Xiu asked Xu Jingnian beside him.

"Pei Luolian, the youngest daughter of the contemporary head of the Pei family, is the apple of his eye." Xu Jingnian said calmly.

"If I catch her, will I be able to threaten that old guy Pei Yuanqiu?" A smile appeared on the corner of Luo Xiu's mouth.

Xu Jingnian was slightly startled. He didn't expect Luo Xiu to resort to such kidnapping and threats.

"It should be possible. It is said that Pei Yuanqiu loves this little daughter very much." Xu Jingnian said.

Xu Jingnian only knew that Luo Xiu asked him to help destroy the Pei family, but he did not know that this was just Luo Xiu's mission, and his real purpose was to rescue Yan Yue'er.

In order to ensure Yan Yue'er's safety, Luo Xiu naturally had to make more preparations. Although the threat of kidnapping was a bit despicable, he couldn't control that much at this time.

While speaking, Luo Xiu jumped out of the window on the second floor of the restaurant. His figure flashed in mid-air and appeared in front of Pei Luolian.

The head of the Pei family, Pei Yuanqiu, has lived for nearly a thousand years, but his little daughter is only in her twenties.

In fact, in the world of martial arts, there are many martial arts masters who can survive for hundreds or thousands of years. If they are willing, one person can spread their branches and create a big family.

Many martial arts families in the martial arts world were actually formed in this way.

"Who are you? Dare to block this lady's way?"

Seeing a man in black robe appearing in front blocking the way, the daughter of the Pei family had a cold eyebrow and looked unruly and domineering.

"I have something to discuss with Pei Yuanqiu, so I would like to ask you to lead the way." Luo Xiu said lightly.

"How presumptuous! My father is the head of the Pei family. Who are you to dare to call him by his first name?"

Pei Luolian immediately shouted sharply. She had always been favored and developed a domineering character. She raised her hand and pulled out the soft sword from her waist to teach this guy in black robe a lesson.

However, as soon as she drew out the soft sword, she saw the young man in black robe opposite reaching out to grab it, with black flames rising between his palms.

As the apple of the eye of the head of the Pei family, Pei Luolian's cultivation level is not high, but the soft sword in his hand is of an extraordinary grade, and it is a low-level warrior.

But at this moment, this low-grade war sword was held by the young man in black robe opposite, and no matter how much she activated her true energy, she could not move at all.

Even under the burning of the black flames, the low-grade war sword gradually became soft and had a tendency to melt.

This place is not far from the Pei family's mansion, and the movement happening here quickly attracted the attention of many guests in front of the gate of the Pei family's mansion.

"stop!"

A loud shout came, and a figure flew towards here at an extremely fast speed.

Snapped!

Luo Xiu's palm suddenly exerted force, and he directly crushed the tip of the low-grade soft sword. Then his palm flew into the air and grabbed it. A majestic suction force directly pulled Pei Luolian over, and his white neck was pinched by him.

"My friend, if there is any offense to my young lady, please, for the sake of my Pei family, don't be the same as her."

The figure that flew over was a middle-aged man wearing luxurious brocade clothes. He noticed the black flames burning between Luo Xiu's palms, and there was a hint of fear in his eyes.

Even the low-grade war swords of the earth class cannot withstand the burning of this black flame, which shows how terrifying the power of this flame is.

"Why should I give your Pei family face?" Luo Xiu looked disdainful.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man's expression suddenly became embarrassed. Although he was angry in his heart, he held back his anger and said with a smile, "Then what will my friend do to let my young lady go?"

This middle-aged man knew very well that he could never withstand the opponent's terrifying flames that could incinerate ground-level soldiers. He only needed to delay here, and more powerful experts from the Pei family would naturally deal with this person.

"I want to see Pei Yuanqiu." Luo Xiu said directly.

"Meet the head of the family?" The middle-aged man looked startled, glanced at Pei Luolian whose throat was pinched by the other party, and said quickly: "As long as you don't hurt my young lady, I will take you to see the head of the house."

As he spoke, the middle-aged man sneered in his heart, because the head of the house was a strong man in the ninth level of King Wu. This guy held the young lady hostage and dared to meet the head of the house so arrogantly. He simply didn't know how to write the word "death".

At this moment, a figure appeared silently beside Luo Xiu, his whole body shrouded in hazy green light.

Seeing this sudden figure, the middle-aged man was startled again, secretly thinking that this guy has accomplices?

"Hurry up and lead the way!" Luo Xiu shouted coldly.

Many of the guests in front of the mansion's gate had expressions of surprise on their faces, and they all wondered who these two guys were. How dare they come to the Pei family to cause trouble, and even kidnapped Pei Yuanqiu's beloved little daughter?

Many people looked at each other in confusion, as if they had seen the rage of Pei Yuanqiu, the ninth-level Martial King.
