Five kinds of medicine in another world

Chapter 40: Soul-Nourishing Gourd, Xiao Wuming

Gu Shijiu and others followed Du Sha and left.

The outskirts of the Sun Mansion suddenly became eerily quiet.

Zhou Yutang slowly walked out from the corner.

Behind Zhou Yutang were more than a dozen strong men in purple shorts.

There is a golden dragon circling on the clothes of these strong men, which is truly extraordinary.

"He does have some sense. Blood debts in the martial arts world are outside the red line of the imperial law, but robbery and confiscation of property are within the red line of the imperial law."

Zhou Yutang murmured.

"I can't do it this time. The eighteen Dragon Guards I requested from the Emperor are useless."

Zhou Yutang scratched his head and then stopped thinking about it.

With a wave of his hand, the county guards behind him rushed into the ruins of the Sun family and began to search and confiscate.

After an incense stick of time, the county guards came out and said to Zhou Yutang:

"Mr. County Magistrate, the Sun family has seized a total of 800,000 taels of silver, 120,000 taels of gold, 60,000 low-level crystals, 8,000 mid-level crystals, 120 high-level crystals, and a number of other treasures."

After the county guard finished speaking, Zhou Yutang slapped his head and scolded:

"Search again, search hard. I don't believe that the Sun family only has this little money!"

The county guards received the order and continued to search the ruins of the Sun family. After a long time, they still found nothing.

Zhou Yutang cursed unwillingly:

"You poor bastards, this little bit of money is not even enough for me to pay my filial tribute for a year. I should have saved your Sun family earlier!"

After saying this, he left angrily, with the County Guards and the Dragon Guards following closely behind him.

It was getting darker, and the soon-to-be-full moon brought little light.

Shangyang County, the ruins of the Sun family.

A stealthy figure quietly approached the ruins of the Sun family.

The figure could be vaguely seen wearing a blue robe.

Standing beside the ruins of the Sun family, he looked around carefully.

"Huh, it seems no one is paying attention here."

The blue-robed figure let out a long sigh.

He took out a purple gourd from his arms, opened the lid, placed it on the ground, and muttered something.

After a while, the gourd began to absorb things from the surrounding area.

These things cannot be seen or touched, only faint screams can be heard.

After a few breaths, the gourd absorbed all the energy and the blue-robed figure picked up the gourd.

Close the lid and prepare to retreat.

A voice suddenly sounded.

"Soul-collecting gourd? What a treasure! Xiao Zheng, where did you get it?"

Xiao Zheng shuddered all over and turned his head to look behind him.

Xiao Wufa, dressed in a purple robe, was looking at him coldly.

"Fourth Master."

Xiao Zhengqiang said with a smile.

"You know I'm your Fourth Master, but you dare to use such an evil weapon?"

"Collecting people's souls and bearing their karma, can you bear such a huge karma? Do you have so many merits? I think you don't want to live anymore!"

Xiao couldn't help but said angrily.

"During the day I thought you had died in the battle, with no trace left. I was sad for a while. But then I used my telekinesis to scan you and found that you had actually run away."

"Am I that easy to fool? Talk to me, Xiao Zheng!"

"Fourth Master, I have nothing to say."

Xiao Zheng lowered his head, looking as if he was ready to be dealt with.

"you……"

"Give me the gourd and release the soul inside!"

Xiao Wufa said with a disappointed look on his face.

"I'm sorry, Fourth Master, I can't give you this gourd."

Xiao Zheng said in a low voice.

"Why? Who are you working for?!"

Seeing that he could not delay any longer, Xiao Zheng could only confess the truth and said quietly to Xiao Wufa:

"Master of the house."

Xiao Wufa's pupils suddenly contracted and he shouted:

"Nonsense, absolute nonsense, how could my fifth brother do such a thing? Come back with me and confront the head of the family!"

Xiao couldn't say anything more and stopped talking nonsense.

The spiritual power turned into a big hand, grabbed Xiao Zheng, summoned a BMW, and rushed out of the city.

Sword King City.

As one of the three royal cities of the Shenlong Dynasty, Jianwang City is magnificent and has a large population. It can be said to be a major face of the Shenlong Dynasty.

The Sword King is also one of the strongest men in the world today. In the hands of the Sword King, the Sword King City is as solid as a rock.

The Xiao family of Jianwang City is the largest force in Jianwang City besides Jianwang Mansion.

The head of the family, Xiao Wuming, is decisive and meticulous.

Under his leadership, the Xiao family prospered.

However, the Xiao family was not peaceful at this time.

Xiao Bu Neng traveled for several days and quietly returned to the Xiao family. He carried Xiao Zheng and broke into the secret room of the Xiao family.

Xiao Wuming was practicing here when he saw Xiao Fawu rushing in carrying Xiao Zheng.

His eyes narrowed slightly, then he regained his composure.

"Fourth brother, when did you get so angry that you barged in without even saying hello?"

Xiao Wuming said lightly.

"Master, did you arrange this?"

Xiao couldn't question loudly.

"What's the matter? The soul-collecting gourd? Or Xiao Zheng?"

Xiao Wuming's expression remained unchanged, still as steady as a rock, and he spoke slowly.

"Of course it's the Soul Gourd! Patriarch, do you know what you are doing? That is the Soul Gourd. It is against the harmony of heaven and earth and against the law of cause and effect. You are going to destroy our Xiao family!"

The more Xiao Wufa spoke, the more chaotic his aura became, and the more excited he became.

At the end of his speech, this dignified fifth-rank escort king actually had a hint of tears in his tone.

"Alright, alright, it's not a big deal. You're a grown-up and you're still crying!"

Xiao Wuming waved his hand to interrupt Xiao Wufa and said lightly:

"I know the consequences better than you. I also know whether it is necessary to do this or not. I am the head of the Xiao family. I have the final say in this Xiao family!"

"Don't feel wronged. There is gain in loss. For the Xiao family's thousand-year foundation, this soul-collecting gourd must be used!"

"Why? My Xiao family is big, powerful and influential, why do we need to use something like this to protect our Xiao family?"

Xiao couldn't help but said sadly.

“Hahaha, a big family has a big business. Didn’t the Divine Beast Empire five thousand years ago have a small business? Didn’t they still destroy the empire on the night of the full moon? I’m the head of the family, I have to consider the family!”

"Okay, I have my own considerations. What you need to do now is to trust me unconditionally and do your best to continue the Xiao family!"

"Those who need to be sacrificed must be sacrificed. If the dead leaves don't fall, how can they sprout?"

Xiao Wuming said coldly, his tone full of confidence and unquestionable determination.

Xiao couldn't bear to look at the look on his brother's face, as if he was back to the day when the Xiao family held an election for the head of the family.

Xiao Wuming was the same, full of energy and confidence in his every move.

Xiao Wufa was infected by Xiao Wuming, nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I hope you are right."

Xiao Wuming nodded with satisfaction and reached out to take the soul-collecting gourd from Xiao Zheng's hand.

He shook it for a moment and said calmly:

"What can happen to an ant? I am the same as you. I laugh at my brother for thinking too much. The lives of ordinary people are as cheap as grass. How can we waste them for this?"

"Brother, you and I are destined to stand at the top, don't think too much."

After saying this, he waved his hand and asked Xiao Wufa and Xiao Zheng to leave without caring about Xiao Wufa's changing expression.

Xiao Wuming was the only one left in the empty retreat room. He suddenly burst into laughter, then cried over and over again, which was extremely creepy.
