Chapter 495 Xia Tomb (2/2)

Uniform footsteps rang from across the stone bridge. There was a troop of sergeants clad in black armor. Their Qi of vigor rushed out from the top of their head and it condensed into a semi-substantial cumulus cloud.

These sergeants were the elites of the Xia Clan. They were so full of Qi of essence that it was almost going to dissipate out, therefore it would form such a strange sight of those semi-substantial cumulus clouds. Not only that, they must have lived together for a very long time and have practiced a set assassination method of joint attacks. Once they displayed it, even those of the walking celestial level would need to be careful while dealing with it.

This was the one point where the Xia Clan's terror lied. They were trained, had pure power and could obtain strength through their bloodline. They were able to produce this kind of army troop.

An elephant could be bitten to death when there were a lot of ants. What more that these sergeants had extraordinary military force.

Under the rush of that cumulus cloud of Qi of essence, any snooping through divine thoughts was hard to remain hidden. Even the divine thoughts of those on the level of celestials needed also to go deep into hiding.

However, Shen Lian only used his eyes to see, unmindfully watching.

His eyes were like mirrors as it reflected everything he saw. It did not leave any marks but it allowed him to obtain the information he needed unintentionally.

To drive the intention with unintentionality.

The leader of the sergeants was the owner of the demonic blade from this morning. His entire body was clad in black leather armor and only his eyes, mouth and nose were revealed. The person they were escorting was covered in fire and he had vibrations of Qi of vitality on his. But both of his ears were cut off.

Of course, a powerhouse like this could be killed but to have his ears cut off while he was still alive, it would seem that should have been done on his free will without resisting.

Shen Lian could see that this person had his ears cut off not long ago. That was why the Qi dynamic around him was not in conformity after he lost his pair of ears.

They continuously got closer to the ancestral hall and approximately thirty steps into the stone bridge, the leader in the leather armor stopped.

Ming Luo turned to Xin Lie and said, ”Brother Lie, I will escort you until here. If you have any message to bring home, you can tell me.”

Xin Lie's ears could not hear any sound but for him to have reached this level, he already knew what the other wanted to say by just feeling the slight vibration that was caused by the sound.

He replied, ”I would need to trouble you, in general, to tell my son that to remain loyal to the monarch before his family. He does not need to miss an old man like me.”

Ming Luo nodded and said, ”I will personally bring what Brother Lie has said myself. Actually, within the Xia Tomb, there is the Beginning Qi of Life that was left behind by our ancestors. With Brother Lie focusing on it, you would definitely reap the rewards. You could even enter the seventh reincarnation and there is also the possibility of cultivating it during your lifetime.”

Xin Lie smiled as he said, ”I am very clear about this. In fact, I have never had any resentment towards the king. Both your loyalty and mine towards the king are the same.”

Ming Luo clasped both of his hands and said, ”With these words from Brother Lie, there will definitely be a time when you could leave the Xia tomb once more. By then, I will definitely seek Brother Lie's advice.”

Xin Lie smiled and did not answer. He turned and with big steps, he walked towards the gloomy ancestral hall. The sunlight in the sky naturally dimmed when he approached the ancestral hall.

Ming Luo watched with his own eyes as Xin Lie walked into the ancient building. He then focused his gaze to the bottom of the banyan tree that was beside the stone bridge on the other side.
