Chapter 439: Waiting, waiting, waiting...the head of the family is gone?
"Eighteen?"
Although he already roughly knew the number, when Mu Zixi said "eighteen", Xu Xiaoshou couldn't suppress the smile on his face.
"If there are eighteen spots in the White Cave..."
"Doesn't that mean I've made a lot of money?"
Xu Xiaoshou crossed his fingers.
If I remember correctly, it seems that there are only ten white cave places in the Tiansang Ling Palace!
In this wave of harvest tonight, I got nearly twice the amount without realizing it.
What's more important is that all this is still based on the fact that he has completed the basic goal, "kill Zhang Taiying".
Xu Xiaoshou suddenly felt like he was done and relieved.
"How do I get the quota for the White Grotto? Do I remember it verbally?"
Ignoring everyone's eager gazes, Xu Xiaoshou looked directly at Fu Yinhong on the ruins of the high platform.
"Of course not."
Fu Yinhong rolled her eyes.
How could there be such a simple and perfunctory method in the dignified city lord's palace.
She waved, and the injured waiter brought a jade plate covered with a green and yellow cloth.
"This is the 'Linglong Stone', embedded with a special formation. It is the only being that can sense the White Cave Spirit Formation and the 'sensing stone' inside the red suit."
"Everyone knows the dangers of the White Cave. There is an exquisite stone. When you encounter danger, you can crush it and activate the spiritual array embedded in it to escape directly."
"Can I use this to get out of the White Cave?" Xu Xiaoshou asked.
"no."
Fu Yinhong glanced at him with her beautiful eyes.
"This thing can only be used for long-distance teleportation, but it's possible that your destination will still be deadly when you land."
Xu Xiaoshou's expression froze.
Is it so scary?
The onlookers were also a little frightened.
After all, not everyone has advance information about the dangers of the White Cave.
What's more, at this moment, he was almost the same as Xu Xiaoshou, his eyes were white and he didn't know anything.
"It seems that this white cave may be a bit dangerous? Do you still need to use this exquisite stone to divert the danger of death?"
"More than a little, I heard that the 'White Skull' there can knock the throne to death with a bone staff!"
"?"
"Are you serious?"
"I don't know, I just heard it, hearsay, hehe, hehe, don't fight!"
"..."
There was some discussion in the audience.
When it comes to the safety of everyone's lives, everyone exchanges half-understood information in unison.
Of course, the information available to these relatively smaller forces is basically limited.
How could someone who truly knew the secret tell it in such a public place?
Fu Yinhong signaled everyone to be quiet before continuing to speak.
"The existence of Linglong Stone is just an opportunity."
"After entering the white cave, if you want to come out, you can only wait for the next time the red clothes open the boundary."
"If you miss this opportunity, you will have to wait again."
"Open the world... open a different dimension?" Xu Xiaoshou murmured, and then asked: "In general, if you go in the white cave, how long will you need to stay?"
Fu Yinhong said: "It can range from a few weeks to a month or two."
Xu Xiaoshou nodded to understand.
Obviously, even for Hong Yi, the energy required to forcefully open a large interdimensional space like the White Cave is extremely considerable.
Fu Yinhong opened the cover, revealing the crystal-clear pink sapphire stones inside.
Pinch one of the green onion jade fingers, and the brilliance of the spiritual energy creates a rhyming shadow.
"The Linglong Stone is not only an opportunity to escape from the White Cave, but as the only means of entering the White Cave, it has extremely important significance."
Fu Yin's beautiful red eyes swept across the crowd again, her red lips parted slightly.
"As you all know, the red man in the Holy Temple is responsible for matters related to ghosts and beasts in the mainland."
"As for the White Cave, as a large interdimensional space where ghost beasts have been born, the dangers lurking in it are extremely terrifying."
"But at the same time, is it true that in such a magnificent small world and such a huge treasure house, only so many people can enter every time it is opened?"
Fu Yinhong paused, and everyone was stunned, not understanding what she wanted to say.
Xu Xiaoshou thought of something.
After all, he had come into contact with Xingugu and Caramel Tang.
"Smuggling?"
At that moment, the mystery was revealed in one word.
Fu Yinhong's pretty face froze.
At any time, people who are trying to make things up will always be extremely unhappy with those who can break the rules with one kick.
"Being cursed, passive value, +1."
“That’s great!”
With an emotionless compliment, Fu Yinhong began to lose interest and said numbly.
"Every time a dimensional space is opened, in addition to regular entrants, there are also people with ulterior motives."
"These people can sneak in under the nose of Hongyi. You can imagine their strength."
"If you enter the White Cave, the greater part of your danger actually does not come from the dimensional space itself, but from these people."
"Why?"
Some people in the audience could not help but speak out.
After all, if you are crossing the border illegally, shouldn't you keep a low profile?
If he kills people in a big way, wouldn't it be easier to attract Hong Yi?
Isn’t this simply seeking death?
Fu Yinhong obviously knew what these people were thinking and shook his head gently.
"I said before that the Linglong Stone is the only certificate for entering the White Cave. This has profound meaning."
"There is a 'sensing stone' inside Hongyi. With this thing, they can sense every 'Linglong Stone' specially developed by Hongyi."
"That is to say..."
Gently throwing the exquisite stone upward, Fu Yinhong said with a smile: "Only with this thing can you prove that you are not a stowaway!"
Everyone in the audience was stunned.
But immediately another voice came out in panic.
"What if in the white cave, this exquisite stone was crushed because of danger?"
Fu Yinhong still looked at this person with a smile: "Red clothes only recognize exquisite stones, not people."
"hiss."
The audience was immediately shocked.
Doesn't this mean that even if you enter the White Cave with the exquisite stone, if it is gone, you will still be a stowaway?
"This is too..."
"unfair?"
Fu Yinhong suppressed the noise in the field.
To be honest, these potentially controversial things should have been discussed at night.
But the old man had already left early.
You can only be the bad guy yourself.
"There is no fairness in this world."
"In your family power, someone sets the rules for you. This is the so-called fairness."
"Outside, this time it's even a large interdimensional space like the White Cave. Is that fair?"
"Ha." Fu Yinhong sneered.
"If you want to be fair, you don't have to go in and pass the opportunity to others!"
There was silence for a moment.
Xu Xiaoshou, however, had no feeling at all about such similar remarks.
Is this cruel?
That’s okay!
Which of the concepts that Old Man Sang had instilled in him was not more than ten times more exaggerated than this?
At this point, Xu Xiaoshou didn't even feel that he could rise to the level of fairness.
"You mean, if those stowaways can steal the exquisite stones in our hands, they will become regular troops?"
"And we, our identities have changed?"
Xu Xiaoshou was more interested in this.
After saying this, everyone suddenly felt horrified and looked sideways at Fu Yinhong, waiting for a negative answer.
"Yes."
"Otherwise, why do you think they want to kill you?"
Fu Yinhong shattered everyone's illusions without mercy.
Everyone collectively fried the pot.
"Even if this is a trial, this is life-threatening!"
"This time the White Cave is opened, or rather it is not for young people to gain experience at all. I feel that if I, an old master at the peak of the Celestial Realm, enter, I will be faced with a matter of life and death."
"Grandmaster? Haha, you think the only one who can sneak in under the nose of Hong Yi is a grandmaster?"
"I'm afraid that when the time comes, one group of people will go in, and another group will come out."
"But this... is too scary. Hongyi really doesn't care about this? Just let these stowaways be so casual?"
"Who knows, maybe the scope of my responsibility is not these in the first place!"
Everyone lamented repeatedly, and suddenly a faint voice sounded from one side:
"You are thinking too wonderfully. Maybe the people who get the Linglong Stone now are one group of people, and the people who will get in by then will have already changed to a different group."
Everyone was stunned on the spot.
this!
What kind of player is this?
When you are already bruised and bruised by the blow, and you can't let it go, you get another critical blow like this. Isn't this deliberately disgusting?
Turn around once.
Xu Xiaoshou?
Everyone: "..."
"Cursed, passive value, +1211."
"Being resented, passive value, +569."
Xu Xiaoshou felt the panic in the crowd and laughed with interest.
"Interesting!"
"Red clothes, stowaways, regular army..."
"There are also ghost beasts and four swords..."
"Who is the cannon fodder?"
Just hearing this introduction, he felt that the danger of the White Cave was a bit too much.
But under such excessive circumstances, why did Hongyi release these quotas and let many young people go to the White Cave to die in vain in the name of experience?
"this is a problem."
Others should also be able to hear it, or already know the shortcomings of the White Cave.
But driven by interests, there are really not many people who can stay awake.
With just one "Four Swords", even ancient sword cultivators from far away were summoned...
Xu Xiaoshou glanced at the Nine Musketeers, thinking in his mind.
Of course, a strong sense of crisis can make people anxious.
But that's what he is, a person who is afraid of crisis but also has an adventurous spirit.
Regarding the White Cave, since I was destined to be sent in by Mr. Sang, I must learn to protect myself.
Those hidden scourges are indeed dangerous elements.
But Xu Xiaoshou, who successfully killed Zhang Taiying and discovered Ajie's new combat power, suddenly felt that everything was not so terrible anymore.
Just by ourselves and Xin Gugu, we might be able to cover the entire White Cave.
Plus an Ajie...
"Yes, theoretically speaking, it's not a big problem."
"The most important thing is that in previous battles, whether it was Tianxuan Sect or killing Zhang Taiying, we had to do it secretly to prevent others from seeing us sabotage."
"But if it's a white cave..."
"It's normal for ghost beasts to appear. It's not an exaggeration to add a violent giant. It's also reasonable to add Ajie with explosive combat power!"
"That's a white cave, there are no rules."
"Killing is always present."
Xu Xiaoshou felt that he could relax and play.
But then I suddenly thought, what if all this was still expected by Hong Yi, Sang Lao and other senior officials?
"Don't be careless, don't be careless."
“Everything must still be done with caution.”
As a chess piece, Xu Xiaoshou understood the ways of chess pieces that Sang Lao said at that time.
Various trump cards have actually been hidden until now, and there are still many that have not been exposed.
Even Xu Xiaoshou himself had only a rough idea of the lethality of his trump cards after being stacked.
But these are not enough!
For a night vigil, I would probably be able to eat a pot of food by myself.
Not to mention, the White Cave is a place where many red clothes can be buried.
After stabilizing his mentality, Xu Xiaoshou no longer had to worry too much about the secrets here.
all will be good.
Just let it happen.
"correct."
He stared at the exquisite stones in Fu Yinhong's hand and said, "According to what you said, I got eighteen exquisite stones, so I feel better."
"But those of them who only have one, shouldn't they just go in and die?"
Xu Xiaoshou felt that as a person with a big head, it was still necessary for him to stand up and say a fair word for his comrades.
But when he said this, everyone looked at him angrily.
"What do you mean, is Xu Xiaoshou starting to ridicule again?"
"Eighteen are amazing. Although we only have one, but..."
"It seems really remarkable."
I wanted to say a few words, but everyone found that they couldn't.
I can only shoot this hateful guy with my eyes.
"Attracting attention, passive value, +895."
"Cursed, passive value, +686."
"Being jealous, passive value, +942."
"..."
"I really forgot to mention it."
Fu Yinhong thought of something and slapped her forehead: "The Linglong Stone has one last function, which is that it can communicate with the red clothes around it at any time."
"Once you are in danger, theoretically speaking, if it is not a fatal situation, you can use the Linglong Stone to call over the red man to help you rescue you."
"Of course, this doesn't come without a cost."
"Half of your current income from the White Cave must be given to Hong Yi."
current income.
I think it must be a treasure that I encounter when I encounter a crisis.
Can……
half?
In the first half second, Xu Xiaoshou felt that this red man had a bit of a conscience.
Never thought that the so-called rescue is actually a lion's opening its mouth?
Isn't this just in the name of helping, so that these regular soldiers who entered the White Cave can help the small number of people in red to find treasures?
Everyone also started to curse.
The few forces that know the inside story have actually put aside these details long ago.
I really want to be able to enter the White Cave, I really want to find the treasure, I really want to survive...
half.
To be able to withstand the power of the big family outside, it will take at least ten years of struggle!
Sometimes the long-term impact is far more than that.
…
"Stop talking, let's get the exquisite stone!"
Xu Xiaoshou felt that if he continued to listen, Hong Yi would probably become a representative of evil in his heart.
Even if he were killed, he wouldn't be able to hand over half of it.
Well, because if you can really beat yourself to death, maybe calling Hong Yi will not help?
Fu Yinhong nodded indifferently.
The waiters started carrying plates one by one and walked to the front of the major forces that had obtained the White Grotto quota.
When the armored guard carrying the extra large plate came over, even Xu Xiaoshou couldn't help but feel shaken.
"Eighteen, count them."
The crowd of onlookers basically couldn't look away from this big plate.
When will the number of quotas in the White Grotto reach a level that can be expressed as "taking stock"?
This Xu Xiaoshou is...
"Being jealous, passive value, +666."
"Being envied, passive value, +232."
Xu Xiaoshou accepted the plate of exquisite stones with a smile, picked one up casually, and looked at Mu Zixi to one side.
"Give it to you."
"Cursed, passive value, +899."
Damn it...
Everyone's eyes were straightened.
It's really annoying that Xu Xiaoshou can give away the exquisite stone that he couldn't ask for so easily.
but!
Alas, after all, she is his junior sister, so it is understandable.
Who said he didn't have such a strong senior brother?
right!
Mu Zixi grabbed her twin ponytails and was also excited.
The preciousness of exquisite stones can already be seen from Fu Yinhong's introduction just now.
but……
Xu Xiaoshou still has such a big plate...
"Just one?"
When this question came out, everyone swayed.
Listen, is this human talk?
"Being jealous, passive value, +1212."
Xu Xiaoshou paused.
He looked at the exquisite stones on other people's plates and felt that his plate had so many that he didn't know what to do with them.
"Yes, one is indeed a bit too little, please give me one more."
He picked up another exquisite stone and handed over the orb filled with bursts of spiritual energy.
Mu Zixi's eyes were filled with laughter.
Holding one in each little hand, one can't put it down.
"Just two?" she asked again.
With a click, everyone froze.
"What's the point of asking for so much? When it's time to die, why don't you die?" Xu Xiaoshou did not indulge his junior sister anymore.
Two of them are pretty good.
Do you have so many hands?
Be careful of being robbed!
The little girl immediately pouted, but when she saw that the others still had empty hands, her anger subsided.
Yes, I still have two, but others don’t.
whee.
…
"No, I can't watch any more. These brothers and sisters are too annoying."
The onlookers expressed that they could not stand it anymore.
This one was carrying a big plate and using exquisite stones to blind everyone.
One person has one stone in each hand, and they have even started to coil up.
Simply don’t go too far!
"If you want to divide the exquisite stones, you can do it in private. What are you shouting about here? You are so naive. You don't even understand the principle of keeping wealth secret."
Some people were angry, while others expressed doubts.
"Dew? Do you still need dew?"
"Don't everyone know this? Eighteen."
"Even if you really don't know, what will happen if it's exposed now? Do you dare to rob it?"
"That's Xu Xiaoshou!"
This time everyone was quiet.
yes!
That was Xu Xiaoshou.
Everyone is a bit confused as to why he was able to obtain eighteen exquisite stones.
To rob him?
Although I don’t know if Xu Xiao can resist the creation of the throne.
But looking at the direction this guy came from, he was with Vigil!
Plus there are several big thrones behind this guy.
The explosion just now had nothing to do with him...
impossible!
"It's gone, it's gone."
Everyone forced to hold back the tears in their eyes, turned sideways and reluctantly turned around, no longer looking at the plate of sparkling orbs.
"Cursed, passive value, +1056."
"Being jealous, passive value, +588."
…
"Where's the head of the family?"
The Zhang family's forces formed a small circle.
As the four giants in Tiansang County, they can bring a lot of people into the city lord's mansion, five in total.
But this time, without the leadership of Zhang Taiying, the leader of the throne, the four old masters were still a little confused even after getting their own five exquisite stones.
"Why has the master been out for so long and hasn't come back yet?"
"When is this? All the exquisite stones have been given out, and the dinner party is almost over!"
"Having said that, the explosion just now..."
A few people hesitated.
"That aura of the realm, if I read it correctly, belongs to the head of the family, right?"
"seems like it……"
"But, how dare the family master take action in the city lord's mansion? Could it be some other secret plan?"
"Doesn't he still want to give gifts?"
The four people discussed and fell into collective silence again.
Finally, someone looked at the old man and spoke.
"Now that things have come to an end, you don't have to hold it back anymore. One of you must be aware of the other plans of the family leader. Please tell me about them."
Several people looked at each other, not remembering any other secret plans they had.
"How long has it been and you haven't said yet?"
The old master who spoke first was angry: "If you don't tell me, that means it was an accident? Could it be possible that the head of the family could be assassinated in the city lord's mansion and die directly?"
Several people shook their heads.
"impossible."
"But Yu Jian, I can't contact you either..."
While they were still confused, they suddenly saw an extremely wild and large savage walking onto the ruins of the high platform among the many savages present.
He actually put his hand directly on Fu Yinhong's shoulder.
Everyone:???
"Who is this person?"
"He doesn't want his life, but he dares to touch the little princess?"
"My mom, this guy must have been blown crazy. How dare he act like this..."
"No, this face?"
Fu Zhi flicked his hair.
After fluttering the clothes like chicken string strips, he said softly: "I am paying for it."
The whole place was dead silent.
"Laofu City Lord?"
Everyone was confused.
Fu Zhi knew that his current image was not comparable to that of the city lord, but if everyone was a little savage, it would be understandable for him, as the city lord, to transform into a big savage.
"The battle at the dinner party is about to end. Everyone was supposed to sit down and have a few drinks, but there was a little accident tonight, so this procedure should be cancelled!"
Everyone twitched their mouths.
They glanced at Xu Xiaoshou by chance.
"Being in awe, passive value, +1111."
Small accident.
As expected of City Master Lao Fu, his mind is firm!
At this time, seeing Fu Yinhong's lack of resistance, everyone already understood that this was indeed the old city lord who had been missing for many years.
Fu Zhi continued: "On the occasion of parting, I have something important to announce."
Everyone is looking forward to it.
The same is true for Zhang's small group.
At this moment, they saw Fu Zhi glance over, his cold eyes staring directly at the four of them.
My heart skipped a beat.
The four people in the Zhang family vaguely smelled something bad.
Fu Zhi said solemnly: "The Zhang family advocated Tai Ying and colluded with ghost beasts. They were discovered in the city lord's palace and have been killed."
"Tonight's situation is all due to this."
"You all also know the consequences of colluding with ghost beasts on the mainland. To put it simply, in addition to the subsequent investigation of Hongyi..."
Fu Zhi raised his eyes and looked at the moon that had reached the edge of the sky.
"After tonight, there will be no more Zhang family in Tiansang City!"
Boom!
The sound of several butts hitting the ground came directly.
The small group of Zhang's family all collapsed together, with expressions of disbelief on their faces.
"This is impossible……"
"Master, how could the master die?"
The only old master who knew Zhang Taiying's motives suddenly looked at Xu Xiaoshou: "He is not, he is not going to kill..."
Didn't he go to kill Xu Xiaoshou? How could he die?
The old grandmaster felt that the already fragmented world had completely collapsed at this moment.
Fu Zhi narrowed his eyes and thought so.
Xu Xiaoshou is indeed innocent!
"Being watched, passive value, +1."
Xu Xiaoshou smiled indifferently.
"Kill me?"
He pointed at himself: "If you want to kill me, you can come over and try."
