541: Wu Tian's Brain

At the center of the formation, Wu Tian was stunned by the explosion.

The arm holding the Treasure Seeking Pearl was directly blown to pieces, and half of his body was gone.

The Treasure Seeking Pearl exploded because he overloaded it?

Even now, Wu Tian had not realized the problem, or rather, he trusted the middle-aged man too much.

After a while, he shook his head, feeling a little clearer.

At the same time, intense pain swept over him.

He looked down and only then discovered that his body was already in tatters, with no intact part on his entire being.

Wu Tian gritted his teeth, his Face pale.

The lingering aftershocks of the explosion were still raging, but he forced himself to stand, swinging his only remaining arm to smooth out the aftershocks.

His gaze turned towards the middle-aged man.

He wondered if he had managed to get the treasure.

He was so heavily injured, yet the first thing he thought of was the middle-aged man's situation.

He really was!

It made him want to cry!

On the other side, the middle-aged man, hiding far away, looked at the power of the explosion with lingering fear; luckily, he was quick-witted and found an excuse to slip away.

Otherwise, he would have been in grave danger.

It was just a pity that such a long-term meal ticket had expired.

Fortunately, there was still a good son-in-law.

He surely wouldn't let himself starve, right?

The middle-aged man was envisioning his future life with delight when Qin Jiang's figure appeared behind him, reaching out a hand to pat his shoulder.

"Who?"

The middle-aged man was startled and almost jumped up.

After all, he had just done something with a guilty conscience.

Turning his head and seeing it was Qin Jiang, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, a fawning smile immediately appearing on his Face:

"So it's Manor Lord. This subordinate greets Manor Lord."

The middle-aged man bowed respectfully; he was very clear about his position, even though he was Qin Jiang's father-in-law, it was best to keep a humble posture.

"No need for formalities."

Qin Jiang waved his hand, looked in Wu Tian's direction, and smiled slightly, saying:

"Well done."

As he spoke, he took out the Immortal King Sword. Although it no longer had spiritual energy, for the middle-aged man, whether it had spiritual energy or not was the same; it was meant to be eaten anyway.

"Your reward."

Qin Jiang directly threw the Immortal King Sword to the middle-aged man.

Feeling the aura of the Immortal King Sword, the middle-aged man's eyes lit up, and he quickly caught it, hugging the Immortal King Sword in his arms, unable to help but swallow his saliva.

This was a true treasure!

Following Wu Tian for more than twenty years, he had never eaten anything this good.

As expected of his son-in-law, he gave such a big gift as soon as they met.

He chuckled, looking at Qin Jiang:

"Thank you, Manor Lord, for the reward."

"It's just a small token."

Qin Jiang smiled, pointed in Wu Tian's direction, and said:

"Want to come watch the show with me?"

"Uh..."

The middle-aged man shrank his neck, giving an embarrassed smile, and said:

"I don't think I'll join the fun."

He knew that Qin Jiang intended to kill Wu Tian directly this time.

And Wu Tian was an Immortal Emperor's Reincarnation.

His dying struggle would definitely be extraordinary, and he had been scamming him for so long.

If he were targeted, it would be too dangerous.

He might even be dragged down with him.

And Qin Jiang seized this point, letting the middle-aged man attract enmity was much better than letting him and his wife attract enmity.

Grabbing the middle-aged man, Qin Jiang smiled and said:

"Let's go."

As his voice fell, the two soared into the air, appearing before Wu Tian in an instant.

At the same time, An Xihe and others also appeared.

Surrounding Wu Tian.

The sudden appearance of the crowd startled Wu Tian, and he scanned his surroundings.

His heart grew even colder.

One Immortal Emperor, eight Immortal Kings!

Hua Xia!

And they had gone all out!

Wu Tian's gaze fell on Qin Jiang. Although it was their first meeting,

He recognized him at a glance; he was the Lord of Hua Xia.

His sister was by his side, and even now, he didn't know how she was living.

He had only heard that he had many beautiful women around him.

In such an environment, his sister would surely not be happy.

For so many years, he had always wanted to rescue his sister.

But facing Hua Xia, even he felt somewhat powerless.

He could only continuously accumulate strength.

However, Hua Xia's strength grew too quickly, especially when an Immortal Emperor was born some time ago, which shocked Wu Tian even more.

He couldn't understand how these Nine Heavens and Ten Earths could give birth to an Immortal Emperor.

Trying his best to calm down, Wu Tian looked at Qin Jiang, feeling some doubt in his heart.

He wasn't sure why they had come.

After all, he and Hua Xia had never had any conflict, only that one time when he wanted to rescue his sister and had some contact with Hua Xia, but his true appearance was not discovered.

Moreover, no matter what, his sister was Qin Jiang's woman.

He had no reason to deal with him.

But, one Immortal Emperor, eight Immortal Kings, all dispatched, such a grand formation—in the entire Nine Heavens and Ten Earths, besides himself, who else was worth such an effort from Hua Xia?

Just as he was wondering, the fidgeting middle-aged man was pushed forward by Qin Jiang.

He was full of frustration; this was clearly using him to attract enmity.

What a good son-in-law he had!

Seeing the middle-aged man, Wu Tian frowned, a guess forming in his mind.

Could it be that they were here for the Pixiu?

Did they want to capture the middle-aged man and make him Hua Xia's guardian Auspicious Beast?

However, to capture the middle-aged man, such a strong lineup wasn't necessary, was it?

Oh, right!

Perhaps their goal wasn't Old Yun, but the treasure Old Yun sensed!

After all this trouble, they still hadn't caught that treasure.

Even the Treasure Seeking Pearl exploded; perhaps it was due to the treasure's backlash.

Looking at Old Yun, he also seemed sickly.

It was very likely he was injured.

Given this, that treasure was definitely extraordinary, and Hua Xia must have detected it.

That's why they went all out.

Wu Tian was making things up in his mind. Even now, he had no suspicion of the middle-aged man; in fact, he was still thinking about how to rescue the middle-aged man.

His gaze met the middle-aged man's.

He tried to convey some information through his eyes, but the middle-aged man immediately looked away.

He felt a little guilty.

Moreover, he hadn't expected Wu Tian to trust him so much; even after being blown into such a state, he didn't suspect him at all.

Instead, he thought he was also a victim.

He truly valued loyalty and righteousness.

Seeing the middle-aged man look away, Wu Tian was a bit speechless. Why was this guy so stupid?

He didn't even try to reveal any information to him.

He took a deep breath, and in his helplessness, he could only find a Breakthrough point from Qin Jiang.

In terms of relationship, he was his brother-in-law.

He couldn't possibly give him no Face at all, could he?

No matter what, he should be able to protect Old Yun.

However, before that, he needed to state his identity first, lest the other party not recognize him.

What's more, in his current state,

Even his own sister might not recognize him.

He cleared his throat, his voice hoarse, and forcing himself to stand, he bowed slightly and said:

"Wu Tian of the Wu Family, greets the Prefect Lord of Hua Xia Manor."
