Chapter 142

Feeling Xie Lingyu's arms on his shoulders, Heng Xian was greatly surprised. He looked back at Xie Lingyu and found that after more than a year, this cousin had matured and become much prettier.

Also, her chest seemed to have grown a bit larger; he didn't know how she managed that.

He couldn't help but laugh, "Cousin Lingyu, you have indeed developed!"

"Didn't expect that, haha!"

Xie Lingyu's eyes were bright, and dimples appeared on her cheeks; it was clear she was very happy.

"Uh..."

Everyone around, whether it was Lin Shuyu, Ma Buying, Huangfu Qi, Senior Brother Liang, or Junior Brother Hou, was a bit stunned.

What kind of wild words were these two saying?

Among the Spirit Sword Sect disciples, a round-faced young man frowned, "Junior Sister Xie, what are you doing? Mind your etiquette!"

Xie Lingyu then let go of Heng Xian and laughed, "Senior Brother Wang, this is my cousin, and also a clansman of Ying'er."

The round-faced young man's expression then improved a little.

Heng Ying'er immediately stepped forward and smiled, "Cousin Xian, are you okay?"

"I'm alright." Heng Xian looked at Heng Ying. After more than a year, she had already broken through to the Condensing Qi Realm, and the temperament of a disciple from a small local family had faded a lot.

Lin Shuyu, who was on the side, looked behind at this time and asked, "There are still two junior brothers..."

Ye Ling'er's eyes couldn't help but turn red: "They are both gone; I buried them in the small maple forest west of Weiwu City!"

A group of Tianyuan Sect disciples couldn't help but fall silent.

Not far away, the disciple surnamed Hou from the Overlord Sect couldn't help but scold, "Now that there are still quite a few disciples from various sects outside, everyone is worried. I ask the members of the Tianyuan Sect not to talk about the joy of reunion; you should go where you need to go!"

"Are you sick!" Ma Buying was furious.

The "disciple surnamed Hou" sneered, "What? Did I say something wrong? Ma 'Always-Lose', do you want to have a go with me? Are you capable?"

Ma Buying was about to say more, but Lin Shuyu said, "Forget it, let's go into the city first!"

Ma Buying indignantly turned and entered the city gate with a group of Tianyuan Sect disciples.

Heng Xian nodded to Xie Lingyu and Heng Ying, said they would meet again when they had time, and followed them in.

Walking on the spacious main street of the capital, Ma Buying was still cursing, "That guy surnamed Hou just now is called Hou Zhenfang, a true disciple of the Overlord Sect, ranked fifteenth on the Overlord Sect's Earth Ranking. During the last Ten Sects' Illusion Sea Mountain trial, he was severely abused by our Senior Brother Niu Wanli, so he holds a grudge against us."

Xu Wei waved his folding fan and said, "Senior Brother, don't get angry. This person has a small perspective and won't achieve much!"

"That's true." Ma Buying nodded.

Heng Xian looked back at the disciples of various sects outside the city gate and subconsciously asked, "Has Ji Yaoyue of the Da Luo Holy Sect returned?"

Lin Shuyu glanced at him, "Da Luo Holy Sect disciples were trapped in Yuzi City in the northeast last night, suffering heavy casualties; only nine out of forty-eight returned. Ji Yaoyue was injured and is recuperating. She came to look for you once this morning, and then fainted."

"Is the injury serious?" Heng Xian asked.

Lin Shuyu stopped talking.

Ma Buying rubbed his nose, "Speaking of which, Junior Brother Heng, did you take a fancy to Ji Yaoyue?

That girl is indeed top-tier; she's beautiful and has an outstanding temperament. I heard she is a princess of the Great Zhou Empire, tsk tsk, a princess.

It's a bit difficult for you to succeed."

Heng Xian pointed at him, "You are too superficial!"

"Hehe..."

Ma Buying, Xu Wei, and Zhao Ying couldn't help but chuckle.

"Quiet, disciples from various sects have died or been injured; it's not appropriate to laugh and joke," Lin Shuyu reminded.

Ma Buying and the others obediently shut their mouths.

Heng Xian looked around, "Where are we staying? How is Uncle-Master Song... Song Rufeng?"

Ma Buying said, "We are staying at the home of the Minister of Rites of this Sang Guo. Last night, just after Uncle-Master Song arrived, Elder Song Ruqing of the Overlord Sect came personally to treat him.

This Song Ruqing is Uncle-Master Song's twin brother. The two brothers, one is an elder of the Tianyuan Sect and the other is an elder of the Overlord Sect; their Song family can be considered a family that dominates one side."

Heng Xian suddenly had a bad premonition.

At this time, they arrived at the Minister of Rites' Mansion.

Just looking at the gate, it was tall and luxurious, with four huge stone Pixiu sitting there, and two rows of Condensing Qi Realm guards standing watch.

Just then, three sedan chairs came from the opposite side, seemingly the young masters and misses of the Minister of Personnel's Mansion, but when they saw Heng Xian and his group coming, they quickly stopped the sedan chairs and stood respectfully to the side.

Ma Buying and the others entered the mansion gate without hesitation.

Passing through five courtyards, along the way there were countless rockeries, flowing water, gardens, ponds, and small pavilions, and the maids and women stopped one after another.

Finally, they arrived at a separate side courtyard. At the entrance of the courtyard, Ye Xiaoyao and Bai Ziqi were chatting. Seeing them approach, they nodded to Lin Shuyu and the others, but ignored Heng Xian.

Ma Buying said, "Uncle-Master Song lives here; we are in the few side courtyards next door."

Heng Xian said, "I won't go in."

Ma Buying lowered his voice and said, "At least go in and say hello, so you won't give people an excuse to criticize you."

Heng Xian was silent for a moment, then nodded.

Just as the group entered the courtyard, a figure suddenly rushed out from the room at the main entrance, carrying a terrifying deterrent force, coming like a great mountain, pressing heavily on everyone.

It was a middle-aged man who looked to be forty or fifty years old, with an appearance similar to Song Rufeng.

Presumably, this was his twin brother.

At this time, looking down from above, his eyes stared fixedly at Heng Xian, his right hand formed a claw, and he grabbed down.

Heng Xian instantly felt a chill all over his body, a feeling of impending death surging into his heart, and he immediately squeezed out a stack of Nangong Liluo's magic power talismans.

Just then, Lin Shuyu shouted angrily, "Uncle-Master Song of the Overlord Sect, what are you trying to do? Are you going to kill a true disciple of our Tianyuan Sect in public? Are you prepared for a war between the two sects?"

Ma Buying also said, "Do you really think the Tianyuan Sect is easy to bully?"

This person stopped abruptly, stood in mid-air, and looked coldly at Heng Xian, "At such a young age, your heart is vicious. Considering the two sects, I will spare you once. If we meet again in the cultivation world, don't blame this old man for being ruthless!"

"Go to your..." Heng Xian was furious and made a move to throw out a pile of talismans, wanting to bring this person down first.

Who knew this person came fast and left fast; his figure flashed, and he left.

"Junior Brother Heng, are you okay?" Lin Shuyu, Ma Buying, and the others turned back one after another.

Heng Xian let out a breath, only then realizing his back was covered in cold sweat.

The feeling of death just a moment ago was too real; this person was at least in the middle Yuan Dan Realm.

The gap was too large, and he couldn't resist.

It turns out that even with the Heavenly Hexagram, it's useless when encountering sudden events.

It seems that in the future, no matter what I do, I must plan it out first.

He suddenly lost interest and turned to leave the courtyard: "Arrange a room for me, I want to rest."

Ma Buying and the group looked at each other, and Xu Wei quickly said, "That's fine, I'll lead the way for Senior Brother."

The two left the courtyard gate. In front of the gate, Ye Xiaoyao and Bai Ziqi looked over, not hiding the satisfaction and schadenfreude on their faces.

Heng Xian couldn't help but feel a sense of disgust.

This group of people is really a damn tumor!

Since it's a fight to the death.

I must find a way to wipe them out!

Actually, when it comes down to it, it was because he didn't bite the bullet and cut the weeds and dig up the roots back when the "Nine Families Destroyed the Hengs" in Donglan City.

Now it's actually endless.

The room was arranged quickly, in a side courtyard not far away. After Xu Wei accompanied him and said a few words, he left.

Heng Xian let out a breath, sat cross-legged, and slowly circulated his cultivation technique.

Night fell.

Heng Xian opened his eyes.

There were meals in the room sent by the steward of the Minister of Rites' Mansion. He glanced at them, but really had no appetite, so he got up and pushed open the door.

There were many lanterns hanging in the courtyard, and the light was very bright. Ma Buying's room opposite and Xu Wei's room next door were both empty; he didn't know where they had gone.

Heng Xian strolled forward.

Just after leaving the moon gate of the small courtyard, Zhao Ying almost bumped into him. Seeing it was him, his eyes lit up: "Senior Brother Heng, something happened in the Imperial Palace, Senior Sister Lin, Senior Brother Ma, and the others have all gone to watch, are you going?"
