Chapter 207: Opening the Tomb, Furious, and the Destruction of the Zheng Family
"A strong person in the Xiantian Realm is really not so easy to defeat."
In the woods a mile away from the beheading of the old woman of the Zheng family, on a big tree, Lu Qing was sitting cross-legged and adjusting his breath.
In his previous confrontation with the elegant old man, he was not as relaxed as he showed.
In fact, his internal organs also suffered some shocks, but with his powerful soul control ability, the injuries were completely suppressed by him.
After all, the elegant old man is different from the old woman of the Zheng family.
The old woman of the Zheng family had been seriously injured, her life was short, her energy and energy were no longer at its peak, and he had cut off one of her arms beforehand, so she could not display half of her strength.
It's no problem to be easily killed by him.
But the elegant old man is different.
Although he is also old, he has done an excellent job in nourishing qi. His energy and spirit have not declined much, and his strength is still at its peak.
It is not easy for Lu Qing to defeat such powerful innate first-level masters.
That is, he uses words to force the other party to give him a hard blow.
Otherwise, if he really fights, even if he can defeat the opponent, he will have to pay some price.
Unless he is desperate and uses all his cards, there is a real possibility of killing him with one strike.
After adjusting his breath for a while, Lu Qing had fully recovered.
His injuries are much less serious than those of the elegant old man.
The King Kong Power Talisman will not only greatly increase his strength, but also double his defense power.
It is no worse than the body-protecting Qi of a Xiantian realm warrior.
In addition, since he is young and strong, with strong qi and blood, he recovers naturally and quickly. He does not even need to take healing medicine. He can recover quickly just by relying on his own qi and blood.
"Huh? How many people are gone?"
As soon as he healed his injuries, Lu Qing sensed that several Xiantian realm experts not far away were using their skills to head towards the prefectural city.
This is how powerful the power of the soul became after Lu Qing condensed the soul talisman.
With the blessing of the divine soul talisman, his ability to sense the divine soul far exceeds that of ordinary innate first-level warriors.
In addition, he can perfectly conceal his own aura fluctuations.
Hence why he could sense the movements of the elegant old man and the others, but the other party knew nothing about his whereabouts.
Sensing the departure of several people, Lu Qing set off immediately.
When we arrived at the previous place, we found that the body of the old woman from the Zheng family had been taken away. There were only bloodstains on the ground, proving that a tragic battle had taken place here.
Looking at the direction in which the elegant old man and the others were leaving, Lu Qing immediately followed them.
There is one thing he hasn't finished yet, how could he leave so easily.
Taking the body of the old woman from the Zheng family, the elegant old man and others returned all the way to the capital city. They first sorted out the body of the old woman from the Zheng family, and then came to the Zheng Mansion.
At this time, the Zheng family members were waiting anxiously.
The ancestors went to hunt down the evildoer who destroyed the second son's coffin and body, but they still didn't return, which made them worried.
When he saw several elegant old men coming to the door, but his mother was not seen, the head of the Zheng family suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
"Uncle Lin, City Lord, why are you here? You came to visit my mother, but she just went out not long ago and has not come back yet."
Seeing several Xiantian realm experts coming together, the Zheng family master felt a tremor in his heart, and he did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly greeted them.
And use the name of his mother to embolden himself.
However, what made the Zheng family leader feel uncomfortable was that when he finished speaking, he saw several Xiantian realm experts looking at him with strange eyes.
The city lord and Uncle Bao all had pity in their eyes.
The head of the Cheng family, who had always been at odds with the Zheng family, looked gloating.
"Lin, Uncle Lin, is it my mother or her, something happened to her?"
The bad premonition in Zheng's family's head became even stronger, and he asked stammeringly.
The elegant old man sighed: "My nephew, your mother has passed away."
"How is it possible..." Hearing this, the head of the Zheng family felt like he was struck by lightning and said in disbelief, "My mother is a strong person in the Xiantian realm, with advanced cultivation, who can kill her!"
The people from the Zheng family next to her were also shocked.
Hmph, you won't be killed in the Xiantian realm. Your mother looks like she's dying, so why is it weird to be killed?"
Hmph, the middle-aged man with a face as white as jade, snorted coldly and mocked.
Seeing him insult his biological mother, the head of the Zheng family became angry and was about to shout angrily, but was stopped in advance by the elegant old man.
"My nephew, your mother is indeed dead. I have brought her body back and put it outside. You will find out when you go see it later."
The elegant old man did not want the master of the Zheng family to collide with the man with a face as white as jade at this time.
The Zheng family and the Cheng family had never dealt with each other. In the past, it was only because the old lady of the Zheng family was still alive that the two families could live in peace for the time being.
Now that the old lady of the Zheng family has died, the Zheng family has lost a pillar, and the strength of the two families has been tilted.
At this time, if the head of the Zheng family offends the white jade-faced man, the consequences will be disastrous.
After hearing this, the head of the Zheng family immediately rushed out, and the other Zheng family members followed suit.
Then they saw the ancestor whose limbs and head had been chopped off, lying on a stretcher. He had been dead for an unknown amount of time.
"Mother!"
The head of the Zheng family saw his mother's miserable condition, his eyes were splitting, and he was extremely sad.
The other members of the Zheng family were even more frightened, as if the sky was about to fall.
"Uncle Lin, who is it that is so vicious and humiliating and mutilating my mother like this?"
The head of the Zheng family suddenly raised his head, his eyes were red, and his face was full of grief and anger.
"Don't ask anything about this matter. The person who killed your mother is extremely powerful, and your Zheng family cannot afford to offend him."
The elegant old man said solemnly.
He thought of the power of Lu Qing's previous sword, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble slightly.
The head of the Zheng family was stunned. Before he could continue to speak, the man with a face as white as jade sneered again.
"Don't think about revenge, you'd better pray first to see if your Zheng family can escape this disaster!"
The head of the Zheng family was agitated and looked at the man with a face as white as jade warily: "Clan Chief Cheng, what do you mean by this?"
"What do I mean? Let me ask you, has your Zheng family ever performed such vicious burial methods as living sacrifices?" He shook his head hesitantly, "These are just rumors fabricated by outsiders. My Zheng family has never done anything so harmful to the peace of the world!"
He knew that although his mother had such an idea, she had not had time to act on it because she was worried about Yu'er's funeral. Now the wives and children who were guarding her were still alive and well in the dungeon and had not been tortured too much.
"No? That's just right. We're going to open the tomb for inspection, so you can bring it with us!" said the man with a face as white as jade.
"Open the tomb?"
The head of the Zheng family was a little confused.
Yu'er has not been buried yet, and even her body was destroyed by evildoers earlier. Where is the tomb?
However, the next words of the man with a white jade face made his face change drastically.
"Yes, we are going to open Zheng Shihao's tomb."
"What, you are going to open my brother's tomb?"
"I was told that when Zheng Shihao was buried, your Zheng family held a funeral ceremony Of course, we have to investigate clearly. "
"Absurd! My brother has been dead for more than 20 years. How can we prove what happened more than 20 years ago? Patriarch Cheng, this must be someone's malicious slander. How could I, the Zheng family, do something so outrageous that day?"
The head of the Zheng family was trembling a little in his heart, but his face was still indignant and he still vowed.
"Whether it is slander or not, we will know for ourselves. As long as we open Zheng Shihao's tomb, we will know that according to the method of living sacrifice, there must be clay figurines of the tortured people in the tomb. When the tomb is opened, everything will be revealed.
Or are you saying that there is something evil in your Zheng family's heart and you don't dare to let us open the tomb for inspection? "
The man with a face as white as jade said coldly.
"Of course not, but..."
The head of the Zheng family still wanted to argue, but at this time, the patience of the man with a face as white as jade had also been exhausted.
His aura suddenly became strong and he stared at the head of the Zheng family: "Zheng Shijie, don't be shameless. Do you think your Zheng family still has the right to refuse now?"
The powerful aura of the innate realm suffocated the head of the Zheng family, and it became difficult to breathe.
He felt extremely sad and angry. If his mother was still alive, how could she let someone bully her like this?
Although he knew that the situation was stronger than the people, he also knew that if someone really opened his brother's tomb, the consequences would be even more disastrous.
The head of the Zheng family looked around and saw the city lord and the old man with gray hair and boyish face, all with indifferent expressions.
It turns out that they are also in favor of opening the tomb.
不得已，他只能将求助的目光，投向一旁的儒雅老者：「林叔……」
然而他这番激烈的反应，早就引起另外几名先天境强者的怀疑了。
Therefore, even the elegant old man could not help to speak at this time, so he could only sigh: "Let's open the tomb."
Seeing that even the elegant old man who had friendship with his family did not speak for him, the head of the Zheng family knew that the situation was over, and his hands lowered involuntarily, as if he were mourning his heir.
Seeing him like this, several powerful Xiantian realm experts strengthened their suspicions.
Half an hour later, in the Zheng family cemetery, in front of Zheng Shihao's tomb, the elegant old man and others were standing.
There are many warriors with powerful aura behind him.
However, for the sake of fairness, the city lord directly invited the principals of other families and forces in the state capital city.
The heads of these major families and forces felt a little confused when they were invited here.
When he learned that the innate ancestor of the Zheng family had died, he was shocked again.
Now that I heard that Zheng Shihao's tomb was going to be opened, I was even more confused and didn't know what happened.
Just looking at the serious faces of the city lord and the elegant old man, no one dared to ask.
These people usually live in seclusion in the city and rarely show up.
Some heads of small families have even heard of their names, but have never seen their true faces.
Now that they are all gathered together, what they are doing must be very important, so how can they dare to ask about it.
"Open the tomb!"
Following the city lord's order, officers from the city lord's palace immediately came forward, wielding picks and shovels, and began digging the grave.
Soon, the tomb door was excavated.
The tomb door opened, and someone immediately entered the tomb to explore.
The people who enter the tombs to explore are special talents recruited by the city lord's mansion. They are the best at exploring and searching various tombs.
The Zheng family is a big family, and Zheng Shihao was extremely favored by the old lady of the Zheng family, so his tomb is naturally extraordinary.
Not only is there a large space underneath, there are many tomb chambers, there are even many mechanisms arranged to prevent tomb robbers.
But these institutions are useless in front of the special tomb-exploring talents sent by the city lord's palace.
Soon, a few people who were sent down came out of the tomb carrying a clay figurine.
"Lord City Lord, there are many magnificent tombs under this tomb. In the main tomb, there is a gorgeous coffin with clay figurines on both sides, kneeling and worshiping. This clay figurine is the one in the center."
Everyone's eyes couldn't help but fall on that clay figurine.
I saw the clay figurine in a kneeling posture. Judging from its appearance, it looked like that of a young girl. You could vaguely see the outline of a beautiful figure.
But its face is full of pain and resentment. The intertwining of beauty and resentment gives the clay figurine a very strange feeling.
When they saw this clay figurine for the first time, the faces of the city owners became very ugly.
Even some people behind him who were knowledgeable enough to recognize the origins of the clay figurines also changed their expressions.
The elegant old man even murmured: "How could it be, how could she become so vicious, how could she..."
The hand of the city lord gently brushed over the clay figurines.
The clay figurine shattered into pieces, and a trace of black air came out, revealing the withered bones inside.
"Humans were sacrificed alive, and those who were tortured were imprisoned underground, and their souls were trapped in the mud figurines for life after life, never to be reincarnated. How dare this old woman, how dare you, the Zheng family!"
The face of the city lord was livid, his tone was even more chilling, and there was a terrifying aura about him, as if he was about to explode in the next moment.
“What, a living sacrifice?!”
At this time, other people who had not recognized the origin of the clay figurines couldn't help but exclaimed.
They all thought of the rumors in the city these days.
I thought that someone was deliberately targeting the Zheng family, but I didn’t expect that the Zheng family had held such a vicious ceremony more than 20 years ago.
"Sir City Lord, this junior has no knowledge of this matter. The construction of my brother's tomb was all handled by my mother. I really didn't know that she secretly performed a living sacrifice. If this junior knew about it, she would definitely stop her. Please be aware of this!"
The master of the Zheng family knelt on the ground, crying with fear.
But his cry failed to move the city lord in the slightest.
“You said you didn’t know, then why did you stop the tomb from being opened again and again? Master Zheng, do you really think that this city lord is a fool?”
He knew that the Zheng family was completely finished.
Seeing his appearance, everyone did not know that the previous words of the Zheng family leader were just words of begging for mercy.
Unexpectedly, the head of the Zheng family, who was so majestic and arrogant in the past, would still beg for mercy after losing his support.
Boom! Boom boom boom...
Just when everyone was feeling contempt, suddenly, a huge sound came.
I saw several extremely strong energies coming from nowhere, hitting Zheng Shihao's grave.
Not only did the tombstone be blown to pieces, but several large holes were also penetrated into the underground tomb.
One of the powerful energies went straight towards the head of the Zheng family, piercing his chest.
