Chapter 571: The Way of Hospitality
Jiang Yun appeared here just in time to save Xia Zhongxing and the others because he learned the whole story during his soul search on Luo Xu.
Xia Zhongxing closed his shop and left South Star City with Xia Shi to assist the Seeking-Tao Sect when they were in danger.
However, as soon as he left South Star City, he was ambushed by a powerful expert from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, along with Luo Qing, the ancestor of the Luo family.
Clearly, Luo Qing had been keeping an eye on Xia Zhongxing, who had a mysterious background, and he was not willing to let him leave easily.
As the third eldest among the nine sons of the Daoist clan, Xia Zhongxing had already reached the ninth level of the Tao Spiritual Realm while in Qing-zhu Desolate World, with strength only second to his eldest brother Xia Zhongtian.
This was the reason why Xia Zhongwu wanted to kill him. With Xia Zhongxing’s cultivation, once his eldest brother stepped down, he would become the master of the Xia family.
However, Xia Zhongxing encountered dangers on his way to the Mountain-Sea World, causing a decline in his strength.
Both Luo Qing and the expert from the Ten Thousand Demons Cave were also in the Tao Spiritual Realm. Facing a two-on-one situation, and having to protect Xia Shi at the same time, Xia Zhongxing was no match for them.
Although Xia Shi managed to escape in the end, he was badly injured and his skills greatly declined again.
However, the Luo family still refused to let him go, immediately sealing off an area of thousands of miles around South Star City, forcing Xia Zhongxing to take refuge underground with no way out.
Luckily, underground there was a dormant volcano that Xia Zhongxing’s family had been practicing fire magic on for many years. Using this fire magic, Xia Zhongxing managed to repeatedly evade the pursuit of the Luo family.
Over the years, he also saved Cong Qin and others, hiding with them underground and dealing with the Luo family.
Today, Luo Baichuan personally took action and finally pinpointed their location, leading to the events that followed.
If Jiang Yun hadn’t arrived in time, Xia Zhongxing might have been killed by now, and Xia Shi, Cong Qin, and others would have been affected by the Demon Seed planted by the Luo family.
After listening to Jiang Yun’s story, Xia Zhongxing finally understood.
He wanted to ask Jiang Yun about his experiences in these years and how he had improved so much in power, but he thought of something more important, "Jiang Yun, you must have just returned. Do you know what happened to the Seeking-Tao Sect?"
This sentence made Jiang Yun’s expression turn dark again, and he nodded, saying, "I know!"
"Then quickly return to Seeking-Tao Sect, don’t worry about us!"
But Jiang Yun shook his head and said, "Not so fast, before going back, I have one more thing to do!"
"What thing?"
"Wipe out the Luo family!"
Luo family not only joined forces with the Ten Thousand Demons Cave, supporting tyranny, but also served as a transfer station for the three major powers to enter Nanshan Province along with South Star City.
If the Luo family is not eliminated first, even if Jiang Yun can successfully remove the threat from Seeking-Tao Sect, he would still have to worry about the three major powers sending a large number of troops through Luo family to attack Seeking-Tao Sect again.
Xia Zhongxing nodded and said, "You are right, without destroying Luo family, we cannot eliminate future troubles."
"However, my strength has not yet fully recovered, and the current Luo family is much stronger than before."
"They have all greatly improved their strength using the Demon Seed Technique, with even Luo Qing reaching the Tao Spiritual Realm. It’s too dangerous for you to go alone."
"Why don’t you go back to Seeking-Tao Sect first? I will accompany you to Luo family after I recover a bit of my strength."
Even though Xia Zhongxing witnessed Jiang Yun killing Luo Baichuan, he still didn’t believe that Jiang Yun had the power to single-handedly destroy Luo family.
Jiang Yun felt a warm feeling in his heart from Xia Zhongxing’s words, but he calmly refused, saying, "I should be able to handle it on my own!"
Xia Zhongxing understood Jiang Yun’s personality quite well, knowing that although he may seem reckless, he was actually very prudent in his actions.
Back when Jiang Yun was in the Meridians Unclogged Realm, he dared to kill someone from Hundred Herbs Valley outside South Star City alone. Now, since he dared to go to Luo family alone, he must have some certainty.
After a moment of contemplation, Xia Zhongxing nodded and said, "In that case, take care of yourself. You don’t need to worry about the teleportation array inside South Star City, I will destroy it!"
Jiang Yun was so worried about the safety of Xia Zhongxing and the others earlier that he didn’t even have time to destroy the teleportation array. Xia Zhongxing, being very thoughtful, had already considered this.
"Thank you, Senior Xia."
After saying this, a hint of hesitation appeared on Jiang Yun’s face, which Xia Zhongxing noticed, raising his eyebrows and asking, "What’s wrong? Is there something else?"
Jiang Yun hesitated for a moment, then finally said firmly, "There is someone, Senior Xia might want to see!"
Xia Zhongxing asked in confusion, "Who?"
Jiang Yun reached out his hand and saw a tiny figure with only half a body appear in front of Xia Zhongxing.
Seeing this tiny figure, Xia Zhongxing was shocked and stumbled back as if struck by lightning.
Even Xia Shi appeared pale and terrified.
This tiny figure is Xia Zhongwu’s Dao Spirit!
Jiang Yun was originally planning to kill Xia Zhongwu’s Dao Spirit, but to prevent any suspicion from the Xia family, he spared his life for now.
However, the news Wang Lin brought him about the Mountain-Sea World caused chaos in his heart, and he completely forgot about Xia Zhongwu, taking him along back to the Mountain-Sea World.
To his surprise, Xia Zhongwu was still alive, which was beyond Jiang Yun’s expectations.
However, it’s time to hand him over to Xia Zhongxing now.
After all, it was Xia Zhongwu’s actions that led Xia Zhongxing and his son to end up in Mountain-Sea World, so it makes sense to let Xia Zhongxing decide the fate of his brother.
"Senior Xia, everyone, I’ll go ahead!"
Jiang Yun knew that Xia Zhongxing’s mind must be in a mess right now, so he didn’t bother him anymore. After bowing to everyone, he flew towards the Luo family.
In the past, one had to use a teleportation array to reach the Luo family. But now, Jiang Yun easily located the Luo family’s position with his strong divine sense.
Jiang Yun used his speed to the extreme. Just half an hour later, he saw two mountains facing each other and the thousand-foot Against-Demon Bridge still standing between them.
Just as Xia Zhongxing said, the Luo family now was indeed very different from before.
The Luo family castle standing on the mountain was surrounded by dense black mist.
Within the mist, strange roars could be heard from time to time, indicating the presence of powerful demons.
Relying on the mist and the big monster alone is enough to scare people away!
However, for Jiang Yun, these things were no threat at all.
He didn’t even hide his presence, his full power at the seventh level of the Sky Reaching Realm erupted completely. Just as his figure appeared, someone flew out from the castle of the Luo family, pointed at Jiang Yun from a distance, and sternly said, "Halt! Identify yourself!"
Jiang Yun indeed stopped his movement, standing on the opposite mountainside, but he did not respond to the other person’s words. Instead, he quietly gazed at the Against-Demon Bridge in front of him.
"Hmph, if you don’t reveal your name within three breaths, then don’t blame our Luo family for not knowing how to treat guests!"
"Treating guests!"
These four words made Jiang Yun recall the first time he visited the Luo family, where he was met with all sorts of difficulties.
He had a near-death experience and almost lost his life there.
"From now on, the Luo family won’t need to worry about treating guests anymore!"
As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, he suddenly reached out and grabbed the Against-Demon Bridge in front of him!
