Chapter 254 Liaobei City
Chen Xuan and others were still on their way, but Wei Ruoxue and Bai Cen had already arrived at the snow-covered Liaobei City.
This place is considered a very remote place in the empire, but its own resources are very rich, so it is also extremely rich, and the Liaobei Army is powerful. Sitting in this border area, the long-term war has also formed a tough folk custom, and the kind that can almost start fighting if there is a disagreement.
This Liaobei City is also a city of top importance.
Wei Ruoxue and Bai Cen got off the spaceship and immediately went to the Wei family.
"How is my father."
Wei Ruoxue said hurriedly, and You followed closely behind.
"Humph, you still have the face to come back. If it weren't for you, the head of the family would not have died so soon! It's all because of you, Wei Ruoxue, do you know that you ruined the Wei family!"
The news of the Shangguan family's destruction did not reach Liaobei City. After all, it was only a few days ago, and when they went there, Chen Xuan had not yet destroyed them.
"What, my father... my father is dead..."
Wei Ruoxue suddenly felt like she was struck by a bolt from the blue, and she fell to the ground and couldn't get up.
The bad news was enough to break Wei Ruoxue's spirit.
"Come here, take Wei Ruoxue down, and send her to Shangguan City after the patriarch is buried, to apologize to Shangguan City!"
An elder waved his hand, and the surrounding Wei family cavalry came forward one after another, trying to take Wei Ruoxue down.
"Stop!"
Bai Cen stood up and shouted when he saw this scene.
His eyes were also quite cold, and You also quickly protected Wei Ruoxue behind him.
Bai Cen glanced at these people, what on earth were they doing? Wei Ruoxue came back from thousands of miles away, but she told them that her father was dead, and they didn't even let them see him, and they also blamed the cause of death on Wei Ruoxue.
"Who are you?"
The white-browed elder frowned and looked at Bai Cen.
"Boom!"
Bai Cen did not waste words and directly released his sixth-level Xuan Fire. Suddenly, a strong force dispelled a lot of the coldness around.
"Sixth-level Xuan Fire!"
"It is the sixth-level Xuan Fire!"
"Could this girl be a sixth-level alchemist?"
"When did our empire have such a powerful alchemist?"
Bai Cen first used the Xuan Fire to intimidate these people, and then took out a token from his arms.
"I am a member of the Alchemist Guild, and my position is the elder who transmits skills!"
The white-browed elder took the token, and the people around him looked at each other blankly, and then looked at the token in his hand. It was indeed the token of the elder who transmitted skills.
I didn't expect that Wei Ruoxue would bring back such a powerful helper.
The Wei family dare not provoke the people of the Alchemist Guild. After all, there are so many masters in the Alchemist Guild, and the power is huge. If you are not careful, you will be destroyed. Don't think that the Emperor Gao is far away. These alchemists are quite united. Alchemists are the group of people who should not be provoked.
"It turns out to be Elder Bai. This matter is my Wei family's family affair. Elder Bai, please let me deal with it now. I will entertain Zhang Lai well!"
The white-browed man was not panicked. He was very polite to Bai Cen. After bowing, he waved his hand and wanted to forcibly take Wei Ruoxue away.
"Wait, Ruoxue is my friend, who dares to move!"
Bai Cen was not polite. Now it is not the same as before. Behind him is the entire Alchemist Guild. If Bai Cen makes any mistakes, the Wei family will suffer.
"Elder Bai, what do you mean? Can the Alchemist Guild interfere in the family's private affairs?" The elder shouted, and Bai Cen sneered. "I don't want to interfere in your family affairs. I am Ruoxue's friend. Ruoxue's affairs are my affairs. Now, I need to see the situation of Ruoxue's father first." Bai Cen said. His eyes were like torches. Wei Ruoxue might not be able to see what was going on at such a young age, but Bai Cen had worked his way up from the ground up. He could see through these methods at a glance. There was obviously something hidden in it, otherwise how could Wei Ruoxue be so careless. "This..." The elder with white eyebrows was also slightly startled, and his eyes looked at the person behind him in a panic. He only saw the person behind him nodded slightly, and the elder was slightly reassured. "Okay, since Elder Bai is an alchemist, he must be able to see that our master died of a relapse of illness."
I don't know if he was talking to Bai Cen or himself.
After saying this, he finally made way.
"Dad..."
With You's support, Wei Ruoxue quickly walked to a mourning hall set up by the Wei family.
A coffin was displayed in it. According to some rules of the Wei family, some sacrificial items such as wreaths were placed around it. He had just passed away and could not be buried yet, and the body had to be kept intact.
Wei Ruoxue saw her father lying quietly in the coffin. She was about to faint from crying. She sat on the ground and cried helplessly. Her eyes were empty. Everything was over, even her father had left her.
Elder Baimei stood aside, and the other elders stood between the two tablets.
Bai Cen came forward and saw a middle-aged man lying quietly in the coffin. However, his face was ruddy, and he looked as if he was not dead yet. However, there was a black mist between his eyebrows. This should be due to poisoning. His forehead was black.
When alchemists are refining pills, they also need to know certain medical principles. Otherwise, you don’t know what disease someone has, so how can you prescribe medicine for them?
Just by looking at this, Bai Cen knew that there was something wrong, but after looking at the situation around him and calculating the time, Bai Cen finally choked back his words.
"The situation is unclear now, and I didn't bring any guards with me this time. If there is any mistake, it will be difficult to guarantee the safety of Ruoxue and me. Let's hold our ground for now."
Bai Cen thought of this, Wei Ruoxue's father Wei Heng had indeed died, and even Bai Cen could only persuade Wei Ruoxue to mourn.
As a result, Wei Ruoxue was even more sad, and now she was even silent, only sobbing.
"I have an ancient pill here, which can guarantee that the corpse will not decay for a hundred years."
Bai Cen took out a pill from his arms and placed it in front of Wei Heng. The others did not stop him, after all, Bai Cen was a sixth-grade alchemist.
Soon, some alchemists from the Alchemist Guild in Liaobei City came to find Bai Cen. Bai Cen saw that these alchemists were so enthusiastic, and he gradually breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. In this way, the people of the Wei family would not dare to do anything to him.
After all, there are so many alchemists here.
In fact, Bai Cen looked at his status as a sixth-grade alchemist.
The mere Dan Wang Yu Fan was only at the level of a sixth-grade alchemist, but wherever he went, people would call him Master, or even Lord Dan Wang.
These people did not have the courage to deal with the sixth-grade alchemist of the Alchemist Guild.
"Master Bai Cen, listen to my advice. Don't worry about the Wei family's affairs for now. Let nature take its course. With your status, you can take Wei Ruoxue away from here. It's best not to interfere in the affairs of the Wei family."
An elderly alchemist pulled Bai Cen and whispered.
A gleam of light flashed in Bai Cen's eyes.
"Old Yan, what exactly is going on here? Please tell me in detail."
Bai Cen said seriously.
Old Yan shook his head left and right when he heard this.
"The Wei family has been a little strange these days. I suspect that the Wei family has been controlled by the Blood Slaughter Sect!"
