Chapter 237: Rebellion Against the Xu Family?
Qingchen walked steadily, holding the token and invitation, and after verifying everything in front of the Xu family's mansion, he stepped into the vermilion gate.
Unexpectedly, not long after he walked in, a sudden voice sounded from behind him, with a bit of teasing and provocation:
"Isn't this Xu An? What's the matter, are you here to see your future sister-in-law today?"
Qingchen paused when he heard this, and although he was surprised in his heart, his face was calm.
He turned slowly and looked at the person who spoke.
He saw a man with a pale face like paper, as if he had indulged in excessive sexual activities.
He was thin, with a malicious smile on his lips, and he was looking himself up and down.
Qingchen was a little puzzled, and frowned slightly: "Are you talking to me?"
The pale man seemed to be stepped on when he heard this, and his face instantly became ugly.
He took a step forward and gritted his teeth and said, "How dare you, a mere offshoot of a branch family, be so arrogant!
The main branch family spoke to you, but you turned a deaf ear! Humph, you think you are so great just because you have some skills in making talismans?
I tell you, no matter how good your cultivation talent is, you can never climb up to the high branch of the Lin family's daughter!
You are just a toad who wants to eat swan meat!"
"Oh, I see." Qingchen heard this, his face was still as calm as water. He glanced at the man lightly and prepared to leave.
The pale man was immediately trembling with anger at Qingchen's words.
He pointed at Qingchen with a trembling finger.
His lips trembled, but he couldn't say a complete sentence, but just a few words sporadically:
"You...you offshoot...toad...formation..."
Qingchen was too lazy to argue with him. Anyway, this guy was also a dying man, so why waste words with a dead person.
However, when the word "array" vaguely reached his ears, his footsteps paused involuntarily, and he felt a little surprised.
He slowly turned around, locked his eyes on the pale, complacent man, and asked:
"Are you an array master?"
The pale man saw that Qingchen actually responded to his words, and a hint of complacency suddenly appeared on his face.
He seemed to have found a bargaining chip to suppress Qingchen. He straightened his back, his tone full of arrogance and disdain:
"Hey, Xu An, Xu An, you are really a forgetful person!
Of course I am not a formation master, but my father is a famous formation master in the family! There are few people in the family who can compare with my father.
My father's attainments and status in formations are not something that a mere collateral descendant like you can understand. You'd better be honest.
No matter how good your spiritual roots are, you are just a collateral descendant with no background. If you offend me, you will be in trouble sooner or later, hum!"
Qingchen nodded in understanding after hearing his words and said:
"I mean, how can a waste like you understand formations? Isn't this ridiculous?"
The pale man blushed when he heard Qingchen's words, and was about to curse.
But suddenly he felt that the atmosphere around him changed, and an extremely cold breath spread silently.
He looked up and saw that Qingchen's eyes had turned black at this moment, with dark air flashing in them.
The black air seemed to have life, slowly overflowing from Qingchen's eyes.
Then it turned into thin threads and entangled with the pale man.
The man felt his mind sway, as if an invisible force instantly invaded his sea of consciousness.
It made his thinking slow and his body stiffened involuntarily.
Then, he was like a puppet controlled by invisible silk threads.
He staggered and followed Qingchen, losing his self-consciousness.
Seeing this, Qingchen's eyes became even darker, because he activated the soul-stealing magic contained in the White Bone Demon Banner.
This magic is extremely mysterious and can easily control the minds of others and make them his puppets.
Qingchen's consciousness then spread out, like invisible tentacles, exploring the surrounding environment.
After a moment, he locked onto a target, which was an uninhabited abandoned courtyard.
Qingchen took the pale man who looked like a walking corpse and disappeared in a flash.
When he reappeared, he was already in the deserted courtyard.
The courtyard was overgrown with weeds and looked abandoned for a long time, but Qingchen didn't care.
He waved his sleeves lightly, and the weeds seemed to have encountered an invisible wind blade, and they were cut off one after another, clearing a piece of open space.
Qingchen stood on the cleared space he had cleared, his eyes cold, "Where is your father now? Is he at the banquet or somewhere else?"
The pale man seemed to be thinking, and answered numbly:
"My...my father is still in the formation hall, he...he is responsible for guarding the island protection formation today."
"The island protection formation?" Qingchen raised his eyebrows, "What does this formation have to do with your father? Did he participate in the arrangement?"
"Yes...yes..." The man's voice suddenly trembled, "The island protection formation...my father also participated in the arrangement...arranged in...the formation hall..."
After getting the answer he wanted, the black air in Qingchen's eyes condensed slightly, and then slowly dissipated.
The man seemed to suddenly come to his senses, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, but he found that he was able to move.
However, this short freedom was just a flash of light before his death.
Qingchen waved his hand lightly, and the white bone demon banner in his hand suddenly unfolded, and a terrifying aura instantly enveloped the man.
The man screamed in fear, but he could not escape the engulfment of the magic banner, nor could he pass it to other places.
His figure gradually twisted and dissipated in the magic banner, and was finally completely refined into it.
Qingchen put away the magic banner, without a trace of emotion on his face.
He followed the route the man told him to take, and fled to the formation hall of the Xu family.
Outside the formation hall, several Xu family disciples were chatting, and suddenly saw a figure flashing like lightning, and they couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
When they saw that the person coming was Qingchen, one of them couldn't help but shout: "Xu An? What are you doing here?"
Qingchen didn't answer, but just looked at them coldly.
I saw that a black lotus suddenly bloomed between Qingchen's eyebrows, and a ball of dark magic fire suddenly rose up, instantly engulfing those disciples.
They didn't even have time to scream, and they were turned into ashes by the magic fire.
Qingchen continued to walk in. All the disciples who dared to block his way or wanted to secretly take out the sound transmission talisman to report the news were refined or intercepted by him one by one.
You are kidding. How can a sound transmission talisman of this level be faster than the consciousness of a foundation-building cultivator?
Wherever the magic fire passed, there was a dead silence.
According to the pale man's words, Qingchen came to the inner hall of the formation hall.
At this time, several formation masters of the Xu family had gathered in the inner hall and saw Qingchen's murderous look.
The father of the pale man, Xu Mingyuan, could not help but shout: "Xu An, how dare you trespass into the inner hall of the formation hall?"
You dare to act so recklessly without marrying the daughter of the Lin family of Sishe Island. Do you want to betray my Xu family? "
