44: Wang Boyong petitions

“This is what I promised you!”

Xu Qing pushed a jade bottle in front of Deng Changyun!

Seeing this, Deng Changyun's expression became excited. He knew very well what Xu Qing was giving him!

Xu Qing then said, “When Undergoing Tribulation, you can go to the Tribulation Hall! There is a formation there to resist the Heavenly Tribulation! Also, I have already spoken with Branch Leader Xu Lin of Scripture Depository Hall, you can go to the Scripture Pavilion to choose a top-tier King Rank Cultivation Technique and Martial Skill!”

Deng Changyun was overjoyed upon hearing this and knelt again, saying, “This subordinate thanks Young Lord for his grace!”

“No need for such formality! You just need to remember to work for my Xu Family with peace of mind. Marquis Realm is not your focus. In the future, get along well with Profound Darkness Two Elders and manage the Hall of Offerings well!” Xu Qing said with a smile!

Deng Changyun said solemnly, “This subordinate will not fail Young Lord’s trust in him!”

“That’s good!” Xu Qing nodded!

After Deng Changyun left, Xu Qing checked the rewards for this time!

The most valuable were one three-thousand-fold return and one two-thousand-fold return!

The three-thousand-fold return rewarded a pile of Martial Skills above King grade, and what Xu Qing was most interested in was the top-tier Heavenly King Martial Skill, which was a finger technique called Void Shattering Finger!

It only had one move, but its power was immense. Cultivating it to Major Achievement allowed one to shatter the Void Realm with a single finger, destroy a thousand li of land, and even break through Boundary Barrier, which was already comparable to the power of ordinary Venerable grade Martial Skills!

One must know that Venerable grade Martial Skills were no longer just Martial Skills, but were called Minor Divine Ability!

However, he would not waste the other Martial Skills either. He imprinted them all in his mind. With his Comprehension Ability, perhaps this Heavenly King technique would stump him, but the other Martial Skills would not!

Besides the Void Shattering Finger, what interested him was the Black Feather Eagle!

The Bloodline of the Black Feather Eagle was even stronger than that of the Purple Winged Eagle. The Purple Winged Eagle only possessed a low-grade King Rank Bloodline, while the Black Feather Eagle possessed a high-grade King Rank Bloodline. When fully grown, it was a great Yao Beast comparable to a Marquis!

And this Black Feather Eagle clan had a hundred members. The two leaders, one male and one female, were both at Mystic King Realm Perfection. Among the remaining Black Feather Eagles, there were seventeen at Fengwang Realm, and the rest were all at Great Yao Realm!

This powerful Black Feather Eagle naturally became Dark Moon's subordinate!

As a King Bloodline, Dark Moon could easily protect the Black Feather Eagle clan even without Xu Qing. In the Yao Beast world, unless the cultivation gap was too large, the Bloodline Rank was much stricter than that of other races!

With Xu Qing's support, Dark Moon had already reached the Mystic King Realm Early Stage. In terms of strength alone, he could crush the Black Feather Eagle leaders, not to mention the Bloodline suppression!

And with this Black Feather Eagle, the Cloud Mist Mountain gate had someone to guard it!

From that day on, the clansmen could often see powerful Black Feather Eagles patrolling around Cloud Mist Mountain!

Of course, the Xu Clan members were only curious for the first two days. In the following days, under the urging of the Branch Leaders and Elder of each branch, they all began to enter seclusion!

No one knew that in this seemingly ordinary mountain range, a Family was growing rapidly!

On this day, outside Xu City, a Silver Armor Army escorted a convoy!

The convoy’s formation was luxurious and powerful. The soldiers had strong Qi, each one a Yuanhai Realm Martial Artist. Their armor was all top-tier Profound Treasures, and they rode on Fourth Rank Yao Beast Silver-backed Azure Wolves!

“Hall Master Xu Song, Young Master Xu Yuan, this is the Silver Armor Army, the most elite personal guard army of the Fengyan Marquis Estate!”

Below the West City Gate, Hai Dagui, who had received the news, had already led the masters of various city forces to wait!

Just half a day ago, he received news that Steward Wang Boyong of the Fengyan Marquis Estate would visit Xu City!

Upon learning of this, he immediately sent a message to the Xu Family!

Xu Qing was a bit puzzled by this. He had no hatred for the Wang Family, and the unwillingness in his heart had already dissipated the moment he obtained the System!

Now that the other party had come knocking, it made him a bit confused!

So he sent Xu Song, who was in charge of external affairs, to go. Having received the Wang Family's favor, he was not an ungrateful person. If he could repay this favor now, it would remove a shackles from his state of mind!

And Xu Yuan, who had just come out of seclusion, felt bored and accompanied Xu Song!

“The Marquis Estate is indeed a millennial great clan. Such a foundation is indeed incomparable to ordinary families!”

Xu Song looked at the formation of the Silver Armor Army and said lightly!

If it were before, facing the Marquis Estate, Xu Song would have been filled with trepidation. But now, let alone the Marquis Estate, even the Chu royal Family, he was not afraid, because standing behind him was the Xu Family!

As a Hall Master, he already knew many core matters of the clan and was very clear that the current Xu Family, let alone a third-Rank King Rank force, even a second-Rank King Rank force with a Profound King, they were not afraid!

The convoy quietly stopped a hundred meters away from Xu Song and the others. The movements of the Silver Armor Army were uniform, silently guarding the convoy.

At this time, an old man of about fifty years old descended from the first carriage. He was Steward Wang Boyong of the Marquis Estate.

Upon seeing the welcoming crowd, Wang Boyong’s brows furrowed slightly, like a lake ruffled by the wind, revealing a hint of imperceptible displeasure.

His gaze was as sharp as an eagle's, scanning the surroundings, but he did not find Xu Qing's figure.

When his gaze swept over Xu Song, his heart couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Xu Song did not hide his cultivation. Among the crowd, his Qi was like a surging torrent, which Wang Boyong sensed immediately.

A Yuan Ling Realm Middle Stage cultivation actually appeared in a small place like Xu City!

As the Wang Family's Steward, his cultivation was only Yuan Ling Realm Late Stage, which made him feel a hint of surprise.

However, his confusion did not last long, and his gaze was drawn to Xu Yuan. He recognized Xu Yuan at a glance.

At this sight, he felt like he was seeing a celestial being!

Xu Yuan exuded a unique temperament, as ethereal as an immortal, far beyond what ordinary Geniuses could compare to.

Moreover, for some reason, Wang Boyong felt a hint of threat from Xu Yuan. Although he thought this might just be an illusion, observing Xu Yuan's appearance, he knew that the information he had collected might only be partial.

Beside Wang Boyong, there was another person, who was Wang Dong, the one who had escorted Xu Qing back to Xu City previously.

Now seeing Xu Song, his expression changed repeatedly, like a chameleon, making him hard to fathom.

“May I ask if you are Steward Wang?” Xu Song saw that Wang Boyong had not spoken for a long time, so he stepped forward and asked. His voice resonated in the air like steady drumbeats.

“It is I, Wang! And Your Excellency is?” Wang Boyong cupped his hands, his voice carrying a hint of surprise.

“I am Xu Song, in charge of the Xu Family’s external affairs. Today, I will host Steward Wang!” Xu Song cupped his hands.

Upon hearing this, Wang Boyong’s expression instantly became solemn.

Just then, Wang Dong also transmitted a message to him, which completely changed his expression.

However, he quickly suppressed the shock in his heart and forced a smile.

Xu Song smiled politely, “Steward Wang, I have already prepared a banquet. Please come this way!”

Xu Song's smile was like the spring sun, warm and kind, making people feel good about him.

At this time, Wang Boyong was full of doubts about the Xu Family, as if shrouded in mist. According to his conjecture, some change must have occurred in the Xu Family, otherwise how could a Martial Artist who was only at Zhenyuan Realm a few months ago surpass his more than two hundred years of arduous Cultivation in just a few months?

So he dared not be careless and followed Xu Song’s words to attend the banquet!

After three rounds of wine and five courses of dishes, he kept probing Xu Song. However, the latter was extremely shrewd. The moment he saw Wang Dong, he already understood that he had exposed some things!

But Xu Song didn't care!

“Steward Wang, may I ask if there is any urgent matter for your visit to Xu City this time? If you need help from my Xu Family, just say so!”
