Chapter 343 Xia Family Abacus
The eastern suburbs of Emperor Jing, Orchid Garden.
This is the private residence of the Xia family of the four major families of the Imperial Capital. It is a garden-style building in the south of the Yangtze River, covering an area of 100 acres.
At this time, in an ancient octagonal building, there were more than 30 people gathered, all of whom were high-level officials of the Xia family, clan elders with high morals and connections, and the Mesozoic who held great power. Almost all gathered here.
Some of these are high-ranking officials and dignitaries, some are giant crocodiles in the business sea, and some are martial arts experts.
If you know the people of the Emperor Jingxia family and see the three white-haired old men in the first seat, they will definitely be in awe.
These three people are the uncle of the Xia family, the second uncle, and the third uncle, all of whom have entered the age of 100, but each of them is like a dragon and a tiger, and their momentum is extraordinary.
These are the three figures of the Xia family, who still hold great power in the family and play a pivotal role.
The three elders sat at the table of the Eight Immortals, and the core members of the other clans stood in front.
At this time, the air in the Octagon was so tense that it almost solidified.
At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with an elegant temperament stood up and respectfully said to the old man in white Tang suit in the middle: "Dad, Dalong and Fang Lao died in Phoenix Mountain."
"The one who killed was that Master Qin. He didn't die in Yingzhou, he came back."
"You must come up with an idea quickly."
This middle-aged man ranked second in the Xia family's Mesozoic generation, called Xia Delong, and was the contemporary patriarch of the Xia family.
In the Xia family's Mesozoic generation, the strength and talent surpassed him by a lot, and he was a relatively mediocre one.
Because of mediocrity and good control, he can sit in the position of the head of the family.
Finally, the uncle of the Xia family opened his eyes, and in the turbid and yellow eyes, a stern electric light appeared: "Master Qin is not dead?"
"According to the latest information, he obviously went to challenge the Saintess of the Plateau in Yingzhou, and he died in battle, so he didn't die?"
"Is the news confirmed?"
When the senior officials of the Xia family heard the news, they were all full of fear.
Master Qin's record of overpowering a country by one person, how brilliant, Wei Gai contemporary, it is not an exaggeration to say that the whole country is shocked.
Under normal circumstances, the Xia family would not have the courage to trouble Master Qin.
But after hearing that Master Qin died in battle, the Xia family dared to think about it.
Who would have thought that Master Qin actually came back.
Xia's uncle considered for a long time, and then said: "This matter, this is the end."
"I heard that Qinglan is going to get married the day after tomorrow. As her mother's family, she sent someone to give them a gift, and then made a clear line with Xia Dalong and told them that Xia Dalong acted privately and had nothing to do with the Xia family."
Most of the senior members of the Xia family have no opinion.
Of course, it's not that the Xia family is afraid of Master Qin, but that a fight between two tigers will inevitably cause one injury, which will benefit the feuding enemy, the fisherman.
Because the Xia family is already one of the four major families in the Imperial Capital, with monstrous power and power in the world, if they can't expand their power, if they can keep their basics, they will be victorious.
"I disagree!"
Xia Delong stood up and said decisively: "Dad, Dalong is my brother, let's not mention it, Fang Lao is the guest of our Xia family."
"If people know that his old man worked hard for us, and he died, our Xia family would not pay attention to him, would not help him get ahead, and would not help him avenge him."
"What will the other guests think?"
"In the future, when the Xia family recruits other guests, everyone knows that our Xia family treats guests like this. Are they still willing to join our Xia family?"
Xia Delong's remarks also attracted many people in the clan to nod their heads.
Although the eldest man's approach is wise, it is easy to make people feel cold.
The uncle frowned slightly: "Then what do you say?"
Xia Delong said: "Our Xia family has a shallow foundation in the south. If we go to Master Qin's site to find him to settle accounts, we must have a hard chance of winning."
"What if Master Qin goes to Beijing?"
"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon in Dijing is within the sphere of influence of our Xia family, and Master Qin has no foundation in Dijing. It is too easy for us to kill him."
"I believe that with your identity and power, Dad, and your strength in the sect, it's not a big problem to get rid of Master Qin if you call in a few fellow sects at random."
Hearing this, everyone looked at the uncle of the Xia family, and they all showed excitement when they didn't see it.
The reason why the Xia family has been able to prosper is because there is a powerful sect behind the uncle, and the other three of the four major families are extremely jealous of the identity of the uncle.
The uncle of the Xia family narrowed his eyes slightly, his expression was grim, and he refused without hesitation: "The old man said that the Xia family will not use the power of the sect until the time of life and death."
"Let's end this matter, the throne of the Lord of the Martial God Temple is about to be replaced."
"Among the four major families, no matter who controls the Martial God Temple, the background will be greatly increased and become the head of the new four major families."
"The most urgent task is to seize the throne of the Hall Master of the Martial God Temple."
"Dismiss."
After speaking, the three uncles of the Xia family left behind one after the other with their hands behind their backs.
Seeing that the three uncles were very determined, Xia Delong secretly clenched his fists and said angrily: "Why, father doesn't want to use the power of the sect to help me?"
"Is it because I'm afraid that I'm growing too fast like my eldest brother back then, and they can't control me?"
Xia Delong looked aggrieved.
Over the years, he has been suffocated.
These old people have stepped into the coffin with half their feet, and they are still unwilling to give him the power to control the core power of the family.
"I can't do nothing."
A cold light flashed in Xia Delong's eyes, "Phoenix Mountain is a rare treasure mountain in the world. If I get it, the strong people in the world will definitely follow it, and half of it will be used by me."
"Since the three old people are unwilling to help, then I will do it myself. Even if it is to take chestnuts from the fire, I will take down Phoenix Mountain."
"You three old people wait for me, I will prove sooner or later that I will never be worse than the big brother."
"If Big Brother can seize power, I can seize power too!"
As soon as he thought of this, Xia Delong immediately left the Octagon with his cronies and came to a secluded courtyard.
Immediately, Xia Delong immediately issued an order: "We can't listen to the three uncles. Phoenix Mountain is an unparalleled treasure. As long as we can win it, we are qualified to challenge the three uncles head-on and force them to surrender the family power."
"Listen to my order, and immediately send someone to Jinling to give Master Qin a 'big gift'."
"I want him to hate me forever, and go to Dijing as soon as possible to kill me!"
...
Thousands of miles away in Jinling, Qin Fan did not know what happened to the Xia family.
At this moment, he and Xia Qinglan sat cross-legged in front of the cliff, retreating and practicing.
At this time, Xia Qinglan had absorbed a drop of the blood of the ancient phoenix.
After this drop of blood essence was infinitely diluted by Qin Fan, it was injected into her body.
Although the blood of the phoenix has been weakened, only less than one percent of the power remains, but it is the blood of the innate powerhouse. For Xia Qinglan, a mortal female cultivator in the middle stage of Qi refining, it still has Fatal danger.
At this moment, the elegant and gentle facial features are covered with cold sweat, showing the color of pain.
Her whole body was hot, as if she had fallen into purgatory, and there was a terrifying fire burning in her body, which made her feel unbearable.
However, she bit her cherry lips and didn't spit out a single painful syllable.
Qin Fan helped her activate the Swallowing Desolation Art, and helped her refine it. At the same time, the Taiyi True Essence floated around, like a green tide, wrapping Xia Qinglan.
Taiyi Zhenyuan was used to help Xia Qinglan repair her internal and external injuries.
The blood of the ancient phoenix entered her body, and she was severely burned. If there was no one to protect the law, she would definitely die.
Qin Fan whispered: "If it hurts, you can call it out, it should feel better."
Xia Qinglan was in a cold sweat, gritted her teeth and said, "No, it's indecent."
Qin Fan continued to concentrate on helping her refine the blood of the phoenix.
The process of refining phoenix blood is very dangerous, and Qin Fan doesn't know if Xia Qinglan can endure it to the end and obtain this unparalleled opportunity.
