Chapter 1229

One of the Supreme Elders said, it is said that he came from the West State to the East State. Because he is an ascender, he was hunted by some forces in the East State and eventually fled to our East State. However, because he has been unable to break through, he has been hiding in the Zhao mansion.

He didn't dare to show his face, but recently he seems to be preparing to return to the East State again, so he chose to return to the East State. I guess he should be aiming for that divine artifact, a heavy treasure of our Zhao family.

It is said to be a divine sword passed down from ancient times, said to be a God-level immortal artifact, and that jade pendant is a jade talisman in the rumors, said to be a wisp of remnant thought left by an immortal in the East State. In such an immortal relic, perhaps some magical treasures will be born.

"Ximen Wudi is indeed a troublesome person, but I do have a way to help him, but we need to investigate his origin clearly. This matter should not disturb the Sect Master, so this matter still requires you to go out and help investigate clearly!" Zhao Peng said.

"Don't worry, leave this matter to me." Zhao Hu said.

Then they left.

Of course.

During this period, Zhao Hu was also very polite to Ximen Wudi.

"Tian'er, my dear grandson, what's wrong with you? You haven't come to see Grandma for a while; Grandma has missed you to death. Come, come, let Grandma see, what happened to you, child, that you've become like this? Who did this? Don't worry, Grandma will go get revenge for you." The Zhao family Old Matriarch looked at Zhao Tianlong and said with a face full of worry.

Zhao Tianlong opened his eyes, looked at Grandma, and said, "Grandma, I'm fine."

"Tian'er, you child, you really worried Grandma to death. Tell Grandma quickly, what exactly happened." The Zhao family Old Matriarch said.

Zhao Tianlong said, "Grandma, I'm fine."

"Fine."

The Old Matriarch said, "Fine? Can you faint if you're fine? Fortunately, I arrived in time; if I had been any later, you might have been killed by that guy."

"Him? Which guy?" Zhao Tianlong asked, frowning.

The Zhao family Old Matriarch said, "Who else could it be? Of course, it's Ximen Wudi."

After hearing this, Zhao Tianlong said in surprise, "Is it that person called Ximen Wudi?"

"That's right!" The Zhao family Old Matriarch nodded.

Zhao Tianlong fell silent. After a while, Zhao Tianlong said, "Grandma, don't act rashly. That person's origin is mysterious and very powerful. You must not provoke him."

"Tian'er, how exactly did you offend him?" The Zhao family Old Matriarch said.

Zhao Tianlong said, "I don't know, anyway, I just didn't like the look of him and wanted to teach him a lesson, but as a result, I was accidentally injured by him. His strength is very terrifying. I feel extreme pain all over my body now, and I'm exhausted all over. I suspect my dantian has been crippled."

The Zhao family Old Matriarch gasped.

She knew Zhao Tianlong couldn't deceive her, and this matter wasn't necessary for Zhao Tianlong to lie about.

"Tian'er, you rest for a while, Grandma will get revenge for you." The Zhao family Old Matriarch said after pondering for a moment.

"Thank you, Grandma!" Zhao Tianlong said gratefully.

Early the next morning.

Zhao Tianlong woke up from cultivation.

Just got up.

Outside, a guard reported, "Young Master Zhao, someone is here to see you."

"Oh, please come in." Zhao Tianlong said.

Soon.

Ximen Wudi walked in.

"Are you Young Master Lin?" Zhao Tianlong said.

Ximen Wudi smiled and said, "That's right, I am Ximen Wudi."

Zhao Tianlong said, "Is Young Master Lin here to take revenge on me?"

Ximen Wudi said, "Of course, I said last night that when I returned to the West State, I would come to find you for revenge."

"Good!" Zhao Tianlong said.

Zhao Tianlong stood up, then took out a ring, handed it to Ximen Wudi, and said, "This is something my father left for me; I found it in his treasure vault. Inside this ring is a set of cultivation techniques, as well as some of my cultivation resources. Inside are two hundred top-grade spirit stones, five hundred spiritual herbs, and a few spirit talismans. All these things belong to you now. I hope Young Master Lin can keep his promise and not come to my courtyard to make trouble; I don't want to die in your hands."

Ximen Wudi said, "Don't worry, I'm not a fool

"Alright, then many thanks."

After Zhao Tianlong finished speaking, he turned and left.

Ximen Wudi stored the items Zhao Tianlong had left behind into his storage ring, then immediately left the Zhao family's guest courtyard.

He arrived at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

At this very moment, many cultivators were gathered at the entrance of the City Lord's Mansion.

These cultivators were formidable in strength, all being Golden Core realm cultivators, and there was even one Nascent Soul realm cultivator.

They were all discussing the matter heatedly.

"Is that the Zhao family's third young master? I heard the Zhao family's third young master has extremely high cultivation talent! He stepped into the Spirit Transformation realm at such a young age."

"That's right, it is the Zhao family's third young master, Zhao Tianlong. This time, heading to the Dark Demon Domain, he will likely gain quite a few opportunities."

"Zhao Tianlong's luck is truly heaven-defying, to have actually been defeated by Ximen Wudi..."

"Sigh... Brother Zhao, your words are a bit biased. Although this Zhao Tianlong lost to Ximen Wudi, Ximen Wudi isn't necessarily the winner. Among us, who is a match for Ximen Wudi? Furthermore, Zhao Tianlong has a deep background; if Ximen Wudi were to kill Zhao Tianlong, the Zhao family ancestors would absolutely not let it rest..."

"That is true..."

Many people around began to discuss it, clearly leaning towards believing that Ximen Wudi was the loser.

After all, Zhao Tianlong's cultivation talent was plain to see.

And what about Ximen Wudi? Along the way, his battle record had not been particularly brilliant.

In such a comparison, Ximen Wudi clearly could not be mentioned in the same breath as Zhao Tianlong.

Just at this moment, Ximen Wudi walked over; he arrived at the place where the Zhao family's Old Matriarch resided.

The Zhao family's Old Matriarch sat on a chair. She looked at Ximen Wudi and said, "Young Master Lin, why have you come to our Zhao family today?"

Ximen Wudi said, "I heard that Madam Zhao was here, so I came to pay a visit. I hope Madam Zhao can do me the honor!"

The Zhao family's Old Matriarch said, "What is it you want? Just say it directly."

Ximen Wudi said, "Since that is the case, then I won't beat around the bush. I have come here, in truth, only for Zhao Tianlong's life!"

Upon hearing these words from Ximen Wudi, the Zhao family's Old Matriarch's expression sank slightly, and she said, "Zhao Tianlong is my grandson, and my favorite grandson at that. You say you want to take Zhao Tianlong's life—do you expect me, this old woman, to agree?"

Ximen Wudi said indifferently, "Madam Zhao has misunderstood my meaning. I only wish to reclaim what I am owed. If Madam Zhao is willing to let Zhao Tianlong hand over the wealth possessed within his storage ring, I am willing to spare Zhao Tianlong's life!"

The Zhao family's Old Matriarch's expression turned abruptly gloomy. She said coldly, "Little beast, do not go too far. I warn you, the Zhao family's influence is deep-rooted, far beyond your imagination. Even if you are a heaven-gifted talent of South Immortal Island, so what? Do you dare to kill my grandson?"

Ximen Wudi said, "Madam Zhao, you overestimate the Zhao family too much. What is Zhao Tianlong? In my eyes, he is not even as good as an ant. If you do not hand over the wealth within the storage ring, tomorrow I will take Zhao Tianlong's head."

"You are simply lawless!"

The Zhao family's Old Matriarch shouted in anger.

"I am indeed lawless, what will you do about it? Madam Zhao, considering you are an elder, I will give you one chance to live. Hand over the wealth in the storage ring now, otherwise, I guarantee Zhao Tianlong will surely die!"

Ximen Wudi looked at the Zhao family's Old Matriarch with an indifferent expression.

"Hahahaha, little beast, you think you can take Tianlong's life? You think too highly of yourself. I now declare one thing: if you leave this city immediately, perhaps my Zhao family will spare you; otherwise, this time next year will be your death anniversary!"

A chilling murderous intent appeared in the eyes of the Zhao family's Old Matriarch.

Ximen Wudi said indifferently, "Since you are obsessed and refuse to repent, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

As the words fell, Ximen Wudi reached out a large hand toward the Zhao family's Old Matriarch.

This grab.

It was as if it covered the sky and blocked the sun.

The Zhao family's Old Matriarch felt the power of this claw from Ximen Wudi.

Her expression was grave, and she hurriedly summoned a flying sword.

She wanted to block Ximen Wudi's attack.
