At first, it was because Xia Yan was a Tiangong cultivator. Out of consideration for their own interests, the Xun family wanted to win Xia Yan into the Xun family. But later, Xia Yan didn't give them the Xun family face at all, not only didn't join the Xun family, but also repeatedly disadvantaged the Xun family in some matters, which made the Xun family very angry from top to bottom.
When they wanted to win over Xia Yan, the Xun family would certainly not let Zhang Bao kill Xia Yan. Later, the Xun family did not stop Zhang Bao from seeking revenge, but Xia Yan's strength had grown to the point where Zhang Bao was no match at all. Naturally, Zhang Bao would not foolishly go to his death, so Zhang Bao has been patient.
Zhang Bao is a very tolerant person. However, although he has been forbearing, this hatred has not diminished with the passage of time, but on the contrary, it has become heavier and heavier. Even Zhang Baolian's Xun's family secretly held grudges.
Half a year ago, Zhang Bao also went to Luoying Valley in the land of confusion. In Luoying Valley, a blood-red bead was found. A powerful force emanates from this bead. Zhang Bao knew that he had obtained a treasure.
After cautiously returning to the family, Zhang Bao began to study beads, and finally had some understanding of beads, knowing that this bead can enhance the strength of a practitioner, but it has great side effects.
Zhang Bao took this blood bead at the expense of shortening his lifespan by fifty years in order to gain incomparable strength. Now, Zhang Bao absorbs the power of the blood bead, almost stepping into the realm of the Spirit Emperor. Of course, he didn't really step into the realm of the Soul Emperor.
If you really step into the realm of the Spirit Emperor, you can change your life against the sky and readjust your body, gaining a lifespan of ten thousand years. But he, because of taking the blood beads, can live for a few decades at most. In terms of realm and strength, Zhang Bao is far from the real Linghuang.
However, Zhang Bao at this time can be regarded as a semi-spiritual emperor in terms of strength. Although he is not as good as a real spiritual emperor, he is far more powerful than ordinary peak spiritual sects.
"Whoosh..."
A figure flickered, Zhang Bao had already left the secret room. In the family compound.
"Patriarch!"
When several guards saw Zhang Bao leaving the customs, they greeted him immediately.
"Well, has anything happened in the family recently?!" Zhang Bao nodded slightly, the original madness in his eyes gradually dissipated, and his face returned to indifference.
"Several elders have come to the patriarch many times in the past few days, because the patriarch has not left the customs, so they dare not disturb." A guard said respectfully.
"The elder is looking for me? What's the matter?!" Zhang Bao frowned and asked.
"It seems to be because of a message from the East Pole!" the guard said.
"Oh?!" Zhang Bao's eyes flashed. He also knew about Dongji. He had met people from Dongji when he went to the Sin Forest half a year ago. But at that time, he was only an early stage Spirit Sect, and he didn't dare to get close to the people of the Eastern Pole Force at all, so he could only watch from a distance. But now, the situation is different.
Zhang Bao's self-confidence has swelled to the limit.
"Go and ask the family elders to gather at the meeting hall immediately!" Zhang Bao waved his hand and ordered.
"Yes!" Several guards immediately thought about going outside.
After a stick of incense time. All the elders of the Zhang family's meeting hall rushed to the meeting hall.
Zhang Bao, sitting at the top seat, stood up slowly, "Grand Elder, tell me what news is coming from Dongji."
"Patriarch!"
Hearing Zhang Bao calling him, the Great Elder immediately stood up, bowed and said, "Dongji not long ago released a message that God-level blacksmiths Shenhammer and Qiushui will have a competition in Yuncheng in a few days. After the competition between the two god-level blacksmiths, Dongji's suzerain Wang Dongji and Tiangong practitioner Xia Yan will have a life-and-death battle!"
The elders of the Zhang family were also shocked when they first received the news. Among them, there are also a few who are older and have a better understanding of the East Pole thirty years ago. They are even more aware of Wang Dongji.
"What, Wang Dongji wants to fight Xia Yan to the death? Then Wang Dongji is in the realm of the Spirit Emperor!"
Zhang Bao was quite shocked when he heard the news just now, and his face changed slightly.
"Patriarch, this is a good thing. That Xia Yan is our Zhang family's enemy, and his death at the hands of Wang Dongji is good news for us." The Great Elder saw Zhang Bao frowning. Immediately said with a smile.
"Hmph, that Xia Yan killed my son, I want to tear him into pieces with my own hands, how can I let him die in the hands of others?!" Zhang Bao snorted coldly, his eyes flickering.
All Zhang's elders looked at each other.
After a while, the Great Elder said again, "But the patriarch, that Xia Yan, is already at the peak of the Spiritual Sect!"
"What about the peak spirit sect?!" Zhang Bao laughed, looking at the elders, "Everyone, I might as well tell you that my strength has greatly increased this time in retreat!"
"Now, I already have the strength of the Linghuang! It's easy to kill that Xia Yan!" Zhang Bao continued.
"What?!"
"The Realm of the Spirit Emperor?!"
All of a sudden, all the elders of the Zhang family exclaimed and looked at the patriarch Zhang Bao in astonishment.
"I want to kill Xia Yan with my own hands, Great Elder, where is Xia Yan now?!" Zhang Bao's eyes flashed, and he asked again.
If Xia Yan is in Tiangong. Then there is nothing he can do. Although his strength has increased greatly now, he still dare not go to the holy mountain. The holy emperor on the holy mountain is not something he can deal with now.
"Patriarch, that Xia Yan should be in Ziyue City at this time!" the Great Elder said excitedly.
It is undoubtedly great news for the Zhang family that the patriarch has the strength of the Linghuang. In the future, who will the Zhang family be afraid of in the Dragon Continent? So what about the Xun family
For so many years, the Zhang family has been living in the shadow of the Xun family. And from now on. The Zhang family no longer has to look at the face of the Xun family. On the contrary, the Xun family will in turn curry favor with the Zhang family.
In that Xun family, there is no strong person in the realm of Linghuang.
"Purple Moon City?!"
"I'm going to kill him now!" Zhang Bao shouted in a low voice.
"Whoosh..."
A streak of light rushed out of the meeting hall and disappeared from the sight of the elders. In the blink of an eye, he was in the sky and was heading towards Ziyue City at high speed.
…
"It's the seventh day!"
"Still haven't figured it out!" Xia Yan shook his head, looking in the direction of the window with some disappointment.
After returning from the purchase of Zhuyan Baozhu from the holy city, Xia Yan has not left the house for seven days, and has been trying to figure out the connection between Zhuyan Baozhu and the second part of Lingluo Xinfa. However, during these seven days, Xia Yan was still unable to break through that layer of barrier and truly comprehend the mystery.
Standing up, Xia Yan walked to the door, opened the door, and walked out.
"If it's really impossible to penetrate, then there's no other way. You can't force it all the way!" Xia Yan smiled bitterly, and walked slowly along the inner hall. After a while, he left the inner hall and arrived at the hall of the outer hall of the temple.
"Hall Master!" Seeing Xia Yan, the guard naturally saluted and greeted him.
"En." Xia Yan nodded slightly, and continued to walk outside.
Suddenly, a wave of energy instantly enveloped the entire temple.
Xia Yan's complexion changed, the brilliance in his eyes flashed, and he moved out of the main hall, outside the holy hall, and looked into the Tiangong.
After a breathing time, Xia Yan saw a faint shadow appear in Xia Yan's concentrated eyes, the speed was extremely fast, and it only took a moment to reach the top of Xia Yan.
"Who is this person? What a powerful force!" Xia Yan was secretly shocked, and the spiritual power in his body was circulating. Carefully stare at the incoming person suspended in the sky.
Xia Yan could feel that this person seemed to have bad intentions towards me. In his mind, he kept recalling, Xia Yan felt that this person looked a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, but for a while, he couldn't remember it.
"Haha, Xia Yan, you are indeed in Ziyue City!" The visitor laughed loudly, pointed at Xia Yan below, the spiritual power in his body surged out crazily, spreading to the surrounding space, it was extremely frightening .
"Who are you?!" Xia Yan frowned and asked.
At this moment, Xia Yan was sure that the visitor really had bad intentions, and he was probably looking for him.
"Who am I? Hehe, Xia Yan, your memory doesn't seem to be very good! Half a year ago, you should have seen me in the Forest of Sin." Zhang Bao said with a tentative smile.
In the Luoying Valley of the sinful forest, this treasure indeed appeared not far from Xia Yan.
"Huh? It's that person!" Hearing what Zhang Bao said, Xia Yan immediately remembered. When he was in Luoying Valley, he felt malicious eyes, so he looked in that direction, but there were more people in that place, Xia Yan didn't find that person in the end, and thought it was his own illusion.
Now it seems that it was this person who was hidden in the crowd at that time.
But, why did this person suddenly have such a strong strength? At that time, Xia Yan was sure that the group of people he saw were all early and mid-stage Lingzong, and it was impossible for someone to have such a strong power.
"Who the hell are you? Do I have a grudge against you?!" Although Xia Yan remembered seeing this person somewhere, he still didn't know who he was. Xia Yan had never met Zhang Bao. And Zhang Bao hated Xia Yan to the bone, of course he knew Xia Yan's face for a long time, and he had always paid more attention to Xia Yan's whereabouts.
"Xia Yan, I am Zhang Feng's father, Zhang Bao! The patriarch of the Zhang family in Jinyang City! You killed my son, tell me, do you have a grudge against me?!" Zhang Bao said in a cold voice .
At this time, the guards of the temple also noticed the abnormality a hundred meters away from the temple, so they quickly gathered and stared at the person in the sky who was talking to the Lord Xia Yan.
Xia Yan turned around and glanced at the guards, his heart moved, and then his spiritual power suddenly shot out, and his body quickly swept towards the distance.
"Huh? Want to run? Hmph, let's see where you run!" Zhang Bao didn't expect Xia Yan to run away immediately, and after a daze, he chased after him. Two beams of light quickly shot out of the city. The light and shadow flickered, and the distance between one breath was a thousand meters, and the time of one breath was thousands of meters!
