33: If you dare to approach, you will be killed without mercy

The next day.

Early morning.

Boom!

A booming sound emanated from Xie Weilou’s body, and his aura became even more terrifying.

At this moment, his Dantian became even larger, containing a vast amount of spiritual power.

His cultivation had advanced further, reaching the Tuojiang Realm Peak.

As he expected, after entering the Tuojiang Realm, his Dantian had already expanded to five hundred cubic meters.

“Tuojiang Realm Peak, it’s done.”

Xie Weilou opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing within them.

Having reached the Tuojiang Realm Peak, he no longer feared even ordinary Dao Repository Realm cultivators.

He also possessed the Heaven Mending Art; once he cast it, he could instantly step into the Dao Repository Realm.

“The Territory Expansion Realm is complete; next, I must consider the Dao Repository Realm.”

Xie Weilou thought to himself.

The Dao Repository Realm involves forging the five great divine repositories of the human body: the Heart Divine Repository, Liver Divine Repository, Spleen Divine Repository, Lung Divine Repository, and Kidney Divine Repository.

The heart stores the spirit, the liver stores the soul, the spleen stores the will, the lungs store the corporeal soul, and the kidneys store the ambition, with the five elements intertwining and the divine soul evolving.

Once the five great divine repositories are forged, the Dao Repository will form naturally, and the power he can wield at that time will be even more terrifying.

However, matters of the Dao Repository cannot be rushed for now.

He possessed the Nirvana Sutra, which provided the method for cultivating the Dao Repository, but it still required a certain amount of resources.

Compared to the first three realms, the Dao Repository Realm was more difficult to cultivate.

Therefore, the resources needed would be even greater.

Thump-thump!

A knock on the door sounded.

“Come in.”

Xie Weilou spoke.

Butler Fu and Lihua entered, carrying food and a basin.

“Young Master, please wash up and have something to eat.”

Butler Fu said softly.

“Mm!”

Xie Weilou nodded gently.

Subsequently, he quickly washed up.

Xie Weilou asked, “Does Lihua know where all the properties under my name are located?”

“Yes, but those properties have all been…”

Lihua’s expression hesitated.

After Xie Cangxuan took control of Zhenxi Marquis Manor, all the properties of the entire Zhenxi Marquis Manor were handed over to Madam You to manage.

Over these three years, Madam You had transferred many properties, including those under Xie Weilou’s name.

Now, all those properties were under Xie Wushang’s name.

To a certain extent, the current Zhenxi Marquis Manor was essentially an empty shell.

Xie Weilou smiled indifferently, “Later, you can take me to see those properties.”

He had little interest in dealing with the other properties of Zhenxi Marquis Manor, but he certainly wanted to see who dared to continue occupying the properties under his own name.

“Yes, Young Master.”

Lihua nodded obediently.

After eating something.

Xie Weilou followed Lihua out of Zhenxi Marquis Manor.

As for Xie Cangxuan, he had gone to court early in the morning.

That old fellow, now sitting in the position of Marquis Zhenxi, naturally did not want to abdicate easily.

For these three years, he had been making arrangements in the imperial court, hoping to firmly secure that position.

——

On the snow-covered street.

Xie Weilou and Lihua walked side by side.

“Young Master, you have many properties under your name: five mansions, three restaurants, three jewelry stores, two cloth shops, one gambling house…”

Lihua continuously introduced them to Xie Weilou.

After listening, Xie Weilou exclaimed, “I’m really rich!”

Lihua smiled wryly, “Young Master, all your properties, except for that gambling house, came from the Lin family…”

All the mansions, restaurants, jewelry stores, and so on, were properties of the Lin family and had little to do with Xie Weilou.

As for the gambling house, it was indeed opened by Xie Weilou himself.

The original owner was a profligate, skilled in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, so opening a gambling house was perfectly normal.

Unfortunately, all those properties had now been transferred by Madam You to Xie Wushang.

Xie Weilou smiled and said, “That’s right! Where does Madam You usually reside?”

To reclaim these properties, it was naturally not about smashing up these establishments, but about directly confronting Madam You.

Reasoning with her!

If reasoning didn't work, then it would be a battle of fists.

Lihua said softly, “She has always been at the Qingya Garden.

This Qingya Garden was originally a property under your name, Young Master, but was later occupied by her.

She often resides there.

Madam You values her reputation and often invites many noble ladies to play cards at Qingya Garden.”

“Then let’s go to Qingya Garden.”

Xie Weilou said with a faint smile.

——

Not long after.

Xie Weilou and Lihua arrived outside Qingya Garden.

Qingya Garden was a huge mansion, built around a lake, nestled by mountains and water.

It looked very grand, with elegant decorations, numerous plants, and a beautiful environment, making it an excellent place.

Such a single mansion was worth ten thousand gold.

“Stop! Who are you people?

This is Qingya Garden, the residence of the Marquis’s wife.

Unauthorized personnel are not allowed near.”

Two guards at the entrance, seeing Xie Weilou and Lihua, immediately drew their waist-worn sabers with angered expressions.

Their words were filled with reprimand and expulsion.

Lihua immediately said, “This is the Heir of Marquis Zhenxi Manor…”

“What Heir, never heard of him!

Say it again, hurry up and get lost, dare to come closer, and you’ll be killed without mercy.”

One of the guards immediately interrupted Lihua, his face full of impatience.

Xie Weilou raised an eyebrow.

He stepped forward.

Slap!

He raised his hand and gave the guard a big slap, a crisp sound ringing out.

The guard’s nose and mouth bled, and several teeth fell out.

“You… you dare to be so presumptuous.”

After the guard reacted, a look of venom appeared in his eyes.

Thump!

Xie Weilou kicked out, directly sending the guard flying several meters.

After the other guard reacted, his expression turned to anger, and he immediately raised his saber to strike at Xie Weilou.

Boom!

Xie Weilou grabbed the guard by the neck and slammed him heavily onto the ground.

“Ah…”

The guard let out a miserable scream.

Xie Weilou casually picked up the long saber from the ground and walked into the courtyard.

Lihua quickly followed.

At this moment.

Inside a pavilion in the courtyard.

Madam You was playing cards with a group of noble ladies.

This was one of her daily routines; by constantly playing cards with these noble ladies, she gradually integrated into their circle, which made her feel extremely proud.

“Excuse me, I won again.”

Madam You picked up a card and won directly, a broad smile on her face.

The other noble ladies, seeing this, merely offered casual compliments and took out their silver.

“Sister You, I heard that Xie Weilou has been released from prison.

He is the Heir of Marquis Zhenxi Manor, and it won’t be long before he becomes Marquis Zhenxi.

You have to be careful.”

A slightly younger noble lady said with a smile.

“Hehe!”

The other noble ladies also showed playful smiles.

If it were in the past, Madam You naturally would not have been qualified to enter their circle.

However, ever since Xie Cangxuan temporarily took over the position of Marquis Zhenxi, Madam You also gained the qualification to interact with them.

But in their hearts, they still looked down on Madam You.

Now that Xie Weilou was released from prison and returned to Zhenxi Marquis Manor, with his hereditary title, it was uncertain when Xie Weilou would seize the position of Marquis Zhenxi from Xie Cangxuan.

At that time, Madam You would no longer be qualified to continue playing cards with them!

The noble lady’s words, while seemingly a reminder, were also a subtle mockery.

The underlying meaning was that You could play cards with them because your husband temporarily held the position of Marquis Zhenxi, not because you had any real ability.
