206: One million taels, the knife is yours

He walked out of the ancient temple.

Xie Weilou glanced around; the entire Han Shui Temple had been razed to the ground, filled with a dense, bloody aura, and many corpses were piled up ahead.

The bodies of Han Shui Temple's monks, the Four Ferocious Generals, Kong Yi, and the old man were laid on the ground.

Yuanfei, Tiangang, Yan Quanzhen, and Yan Ruyi stood in front, covered in wounds, their faces pale as they stared at Xie Weilou.

Many people died this time. The Four Ferocious Generals massacred Yuanfei's subordinates, but then the Four Ferocious Generals, Kong Yi, and the Old Chopper were all slaughtered by the old monk. Even the entire Han Shui Temple was massacred by the old monk.

No one expected the old monk to suddenly turn ruthless and massacre Han Shui Temple. Tiangang and Yuanfei were originally fighting, but the old monk attacked, severely injuring them. Fortunately, the old monk's body had issues, otherwise, they would have certainly died.

Seeing Xie Weilou walk out, everyone's expressions were a bit off.

"Very good!"

Tiangang glanced at Xie Weilou, said a word, then put away the two boxes carried by the Four Ferocious Generals, and left.

His words made everyone present pause, sensing something amiss.

Xie Weilou looked at everyone and asked in surprise, "Why are you all staring at This Young Master?"

Yan Ruyi asked with a solemn expression, "That old monk didn't try to kill you?"

Xie Weilou shrugged, "The Master is very kind! Why would he try to kill me?"

Yuanfei asked, "How is he now?"

"He's dead."

Xie Weilou replied.

Yuanfei's eyes narrowed, "Did he give you anything?"

"A blade."

Xie Weilou stated directly.

Even if he tried to hide the matter of the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, someone would surely deliberately spread the news. The Xia Emperor, doing such a thing, naturally wouldn't let him conceal it. Since that was the case, it was better to admit it.

"The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, it actually fell into your hands. That's not simple! Besides that, did he give you anything else?"

Yuanfei asked in a deep voice.

"No."

Xie Weilou shook his head.

"That's good then."

Yuanfei replied indifferently.

"The Great Xia Dragon Sparrow..."

Yan Ruyi and Yan Quanzhen stared at Xie Weilou, their expressions a bit off.

Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow, "What kind of look is that? It's just a blade, isn't it? If you want it, I can give it to you! Of course, you'll have to pay."

"You're really willing to give it away?"

Yan Quanzhen asked.

Xie Weilou waved his hand, and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow flew directly towards Yan Quanzhen, "One million taels, and this blade is yours!"

As the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow appeared, a bloody aura permeated the air, causing an intense sense of dread and a sudden drop in the surrounding temperature.

"......"

Yan Quanzhen frowned slightly, not reaching for the blade.

Yuanfei looked deeply at Xie Weilou, then said to Yan Quanzhen and Yan Ruyi, "It's time to return to Tianqi."

"Okay."

The two women bowed.

Xie Weilou walked over to Yan Ruyi and patted her shoulder, "Princess, you're not hurt, are you?"

Yan Ruyi looked at Xie Weilou speechlessly, "I feel like I'm falling apart, pat me lighter!"

"Alright."

Xie Weilou yawned and put away the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow.

Afterwards, everyone walked down the mountain.

Inside the carriage.

Xie Weilou stretched lazily.

Yan Ruyi gazed at Xie Weilou, "You shouldn't have touched the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow."

Xie Weilou looked at Yan Ruyi with a helpless expression, "I couldn't help it! That old monk said I had Phoenix Blood in me and forced me to take this blade. If I didn't take it, he would kill me. What do you think I should have done?"

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyi sighed internally, "I seem to understand now why Father Emperor sent you to Han Shui Temple."

Even if Xie Weilou was incompetent after obtaining the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, his future path would definitely not be ordinary.

Because this blade contained Great Xia's Fortune Power, and this fortune power would invisibly push him forward.

From now on, Xie Weilou would certainly make countless people wary.

This guy played a big game!

However, he seemed to have just been pushed into it, which was also a bit helpless. How could Xie Weilou control what that one was planning?

Xie Weilou stared at Yan Ruyi, "If Princess wants this blade, I can give it to you, but I need one million taels..."

Yan Ruyi shook her head, "This blade has no affinity with me, but you should be wary of Yan Wugou."

According to the information she had, the Phoenix Blood stolen from the palace seemed to be in Yan Wugou's hands. If that guy seized this blade, he could also control it. Kong Yi's appearance this time was definitely Yan Wugou's doing.

Unfortunately, the true controller of the situation was in the palace!

"How much do you know about that old monk's matter?"

Xie Weilou asked.

Yan Ruyi said, "I know this blade was wielded by a ruthless person. I don't know anything more. This matter might involve the former emperor, so many records have been erased, and there isn't much documentation."

To know about that old monk, one might need to ask some old people in Tianqi City, or perhaps her Father Emperor.

"Oh."

Xie Weilou stopped asking further. He yawned, crossed his legs, and closed his eyes.

Yan Ruyi looked at Xie Weilou, her expression somewhat complex. This guy was a threat!

Should she eliminate him now...?

Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow, "Why does this carriage suddenly feel cold?"

"Cough, cough!"

Yan Ruyi coughed lightly. I'm thinking of killing you, so how could it not be cold?

An hour later.

Everyone arrived at Tianqi City.

Xie Weilou stepped out of the carriage and said, "I have to go to the Tianquan Division. I still need to listen to music with my brothers at the pleasure house today."

After speaking, he walked towards the Tianquan Division.

Yan Ruyi and Yan Quanzhen looked at Xie Weilou and said nothing more. Next, they would follow Yuanfei into the palace.

------

Imperial Palace.

The Xia Emperor looked at the Mysterious Person with white hair in front of him and smiled indifferently, "How did things go?"

This Mysterious Person was none other than Tiangang.

Tiangang respectfully bowed, "Han Shui Temple has been destroyed. Many people died: Yuanfei's four chief guards, the Four Ferocious Generals, Kong Yi of the Kong Qing clan, and the Profound Manifestation Realm expert sent by the First Prince all died. The Green Dragon Envoy also died!"

Some people's power was too strong; it needed to be reduced.

The Xia Emperor's smile was sinister. "It's good that he's dead! The Green Dragon Envoy was just a rebellious traitor. The former emperor didn't kill him back then because he acknowledged his contributions. Now that he's dead, he deserved it."

If that person hadn't died, he would have given him a push. He couldn't tolerate any sand in his eyes.

Tiangang mused, "Xie Weilou should have obtained the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow."

He was ordered to stop Yuanfei because he feared Yuanfei would interfere with this matter and disrupt the Xia Emperor's plan. Yuanfei choosing to go into seclusion at Han Shui Temple was not without her own objective.

The Xia Emperor smiled lightly, "An uncarved jade is not a vessel. That boy has now embarked on the path of cultivation, but his personality is still lazy. If he isn't given some pressure, how can he grow?"

A piece of useless wood has little meaning in its existence. Only by making it a divine tree can it burn with endless fire.

The competition among those below was quite fierce, but still not enough. Some had even gone astray, and he needed to give them a push, add more fuel to the fire. As for how big this fire would become, he didn't know yet.

"......"

Tiangang remained silent.

The Xia Emperor said, "Since you made a move this time, the Empress will no longer tolerate you. Return to the Tianquan Division!"

"As you command."

Tiangang bowed and turned to leave.

The Xia Emperor poured a cup of fragrant tea, a smile appearing on his face, "Young people still need to be trained!"

"Eunuch Huang, later, have Xie Weilou come to the palace. I feel that old fellow might have left some contingencies, so I need to remind him."

The Xia Emperor added.

"As you command."

Eunuch Huang's voice echoed from outside the hall.
