Chapter 171 An unexpected gain
Cui Mingyue panicked and slapped his chest with his palm. His body suddenly glowed with five-colored light. The Heaven-Flipping Seal fell on him with a bang. His clothes were torn apart, but his whole body turned into a five-colored cocoon and hid inside.

The Heaven-Flipping Seal fell on the five-colored cocoon without leaving any trace.

"Humph!"

Fu Shaoping snorted coldly.

The discord between the Cui family and the Fu family was out in the open, so he naturally wouldn't let it go.

and.

The other party is going to kill you.

How could he be so soft-hearted as to give up? He immediately controlled the Blood-Drinking Sword and swung it in the air with a clanging sound!
The seemingly indestructible five-colored cocoon was cut by the Blood-Drinking Knife.

The Blood-Drinking Knife stabbed in with a "swish" sound.

sizzle.

The Blood-Drinking Knife sucked quickly.

The five-colored cocoon was sucked empty in the blink of an eye.

This time.

Cui Mingyue is obviously trapped in her own web.

It is impossible to leave the five-colored cocoon.

He never imagined that there is a magical weapon in the world that can break the Cui family's unique martial arts, the Five-Colored Cocoon. Originally, he just wanted to hide in the Five-Colored Cocoon and wait for Eighth Grandpa to get rid of Fu Zixu, and then kill Fu Shaoping. He never thought that he made a mistake!
Otherwise.

Don't wait for him to regret.

The blood-drinking knife pierced his chest.

Suck him dry in an instant.

Cui Laoba, who was fighting in the air, saw this scene and his mind flashed. Fu Zixu took advantage of this gap and flicked his index finger. A green light flashed, and a green snake the size of a little finger bit Cui Laoba's neck.

When Cui Laoba reacted.

His whole body instantly turned red-purple!

Bang!
Cui Laoba fell straight to the ground, motionless.

A ball of fire popped out from Fu Zixu's fingertips and landed on Cui Laoba with a bang. Cui Laoba was instantly burned into a handful of ashes and disappeared between heaven and earth.

Fu Shaoping followed suit.

After taking Cui Mingyue’s storage bag.

The fire burned all of Cui Mingyue's clothes.

Fu Zixu stepped on the wine gourd and said to Fu Shaoping:
"Shaoping, come up!"

It is a place of right and wrong, and it is not advisable to stay for a long time.

Fu Shaoping kicked the ground and landed lightly on the wine gourd.

A faint white light rose from the wine gourd, concealing the figures of the two people. They did not stop all the way until they returned to Fu's Villa.

Huainan Prefecture.

Cui family.

On the Cui family’s spirit tablet.

Click click click.

Two shattering sounds were heard one after another.

The old man guarding the Soul Hall suddenly opened his eyes. When he saw the name on the broken tablet clearly, his pupils shrank. He quickly took out a communication jade talisman and cast a spell on the jade talisman. The jade talisman lit up with a hazy white light and the old man spoke a few words quickly.

His eyes fell on the shattered spirit tablet again, and he murmured:
"I finally trained a talisman master, what should I do now?"

The words have not yet fallen.

Outside the hall, a middle-aged man dressed in the guise of a clan leader stepped into the Hall of the Soul. When his eyes fell on the shattered tablet of the soul, his body trembled:
"Mingyue is gone?!"

How could this be?

Next year will be the competition among the noble families.

Mingyue is the seed player of their Cui family.

Just in case.

He had repeatedly told the people in the Eighth House to keep an eye on Mingyue. Before the competition, she was cultivating in the clan, so how could she suddenly die? !

Patriarch Cui immediately flashed away, left the Spirit Hall, and flew directly on his sword, rushing to the main peak of the Eighth House at an extremely fast speed. The head of the Eighth House, Cui Mingyue's father, Cui Changqing, suddenly became uneasy, and when he saw the patriarch coming in person, his heart skipped a beat:
"Chief, what happened?"

Patriarch Cui glanced at Cui Changqing.

The anger that was suppressed in his heart dissipated instantly. The other party was Mingyue's father. Mingyue had been Lao Ba's treasure since birth. Logically, he would not let Mingyue go easily. He organized his words and said:
"Myna, can Mingyue practice at the main peak?"

"Patriarch, Mingyue said that he would stay in seclusion until the Grand Family Competition next year. He must be in the secret room right now. What does Patriarch want to see him for?"

Cui Changqing was puzzled.

but.

The uneasiness in my heart became stronger.

Faintly.

He had a premonition of something.

But he subconsciously blocked it out.

Chief Cui sighed:
"Come with me to Mingyue's cave."

talking.

Patriarch Cui activated the flying sword again.

In a blink of an eye, they arrived at a cave in the back mountain, which was covered by a light curtain of formation.

Patriarch Cui flicked his index finger.

The light curtain of the formation suddenly emitted a rapid sound of wind.

Subsequently.

A maid came out of the cave in fear and trepidation. Seeing that it was the clan leader himself, her body instantly collapsed to the ground. After the formation was opened, she saw that it was empty inside. Cui Mingyue was not practicing in the cave at all.

Cui Changqing's face turned pale.

Patriarch Cui asked the maid coldly:
"Tell me, why did your young master leave the cave? Who did he go with and where? Tell me everything in detail."

"Reporting to the clan leader, Master, the Master did not say anything. He just told me to keep my mouth shut and not tell anyone else that he left the cave. I deserve to die, I deserve to die!"

Patriarch Cui's eyes turned cold.

Even if Cui Changqing was stupid, he knew something was wrong:
"Chief, is Mingyue in trouble?"

"The spirit tablets of Mingyue and Babo just shattered together!"

"what?!"

Cui Changqing's pupils trembled violently.

The soul card shattered.

This means Mingyue is dead!
How could this be? !
Mingyue had the blood cocoon as protection, and even the Tianyuan realm could not break through it. Moreover, she had Babo following her, so how could she lose her life!

Seeing that he was also shocked and confused, Chief Cui patted him on the shoulder and said:
"My dear, I am in deep sorrow!"

"We will investigate Mingyue's death thoroughly."

Whether it was a bait set by the other nine families or an accidental death, no matter what, they would find out clearly. Mingyue was a talisman master that the Cui family had cultivated with great difficulty, and she had great hope of breaking through to the Yuandan realm, or even a higher level.

After Cui Changqing came to his senses.

His eyes were filled with rage, his gaze fell on the maid, and his right palm immediately slammed into the other's crown with a bang. If the maid had come to report in time, this tragedy would not have happened. Cui Changqing, who was in pain of losing his son, was very excited at this time:
"Clan leader, I will personally investigate the Mingyue incident!"

He must make the murderer pay with blood and make the other party regret coming into this world.

Qingniu Town.

Fu's Villa.

Fu Shaoping and Fu Zixu fell from the air and entered the courtyard where Fu Zixu lived. Fu Zixu then cast a spell into the center of the formation in the courtyard. The light curtain of the formation flashed with ripples, and it was obvious that the formation was running at full speed.

After seated.

Fu Shaoping said with some worry:
"Tenth Grandfather, a seed disciple of the Cui family died. Will they trace it back to us?"

The Cui family is now at its peak.

There are as many as four Yuandan realm powerhouses, three more than their Fu family!

Tenth Grandfather Fu Zixu said calmly:
"Don't worry, I have already wiped out all traces of the battlefield, and it will take who knows when the Cui family will arrive from Huainan Prefecture. Also, as far as I know, Cui Mingyue has already claimed to be in seclusion, so I guess this time he sneaked out of the clan on his own initiative."

Fu Shaoping breathed a sigh of relief.

In this case, it would be very difficult for the Cui family to find out where Cui Mingyue went.

but.

Fu Shaoping asked doubtfully:
"Why did Cui Mingyue come to this remote place like Qingyang County for no reason?"

Fu Zixu shook his head.

He placed Cui Laoba's storage bag on the table:
“Maybe the answer lies here.”

One shot storage bag.

A flash of glow.

Suddenly, a long string of boxes fell down with a clanging sound.

Open it and take a look.

They were all empty boxes.

Fu Zixu shook his head and said:
"This Cui Lao Ba is really a gambler. He pawned all the valuables on him to exchange for Yuanshi, but lost everything in the gambling!"

No wonder he has to be a robbery cultivator.

Fu Shaoping also emptied Cui Mingyue's storage bag.

Ding Ling clang.

The box inside also contained a piece of Yuanshi, but no elixirs or spiritual herbs were found.

"what?"

Fu Shaoping opened the last box without hope.

The box opened.

But I saw something wrapped in layers of cloth inside.

Expand it and take a look.

But what I saw was an old topographic map.

In a rolling mountain range, the four words "Master Qiu's Cave" were clearly written above a peak.

Fu Shaoping was shocked:
"Is this a topographic map of the ancient monk's cave?!"

Take a closer look at the terrain.

Fu Shaoping felt that it looked familiar.

Fu Zixu pointed to the mountain with the words marked on it:
"This should be Qiuling Mountain among the millions of mountains."

talking.

Fu Zixu took out the topographic map of the Million Mountains and compared it with others. It turned out to be Qiuling Mountain.

Obviously.

Cui Mingyue came to Qingyang County this time for this ancient cultivator's cave.

just.

Fu Shaoping was puzzled:
"Cui Mingyue has a topographical map of the ancient monk's cave ruins, so why did he only bring one person with him?"

The ruins of this cave are deep in the Million Mountains.

There are no longer a few third-level monsters, and there is a possibility that fourth-level monsters are hidden among them.

Fu Zixu stroked his beard and smiled coldly:
"The Cui family has more than one seed player, Cui Mingyue. According to the Cui family rules, if a member of the family finds a cave ruin, he must report it to the clan immediately. The clan will send someone to investigate and break the formation to enter the cave. If it is true, half of the gains from the ruins must be handed over to the clan."

"Cui Mingyue obviously wants to keep it all for herself."

“That’s why it was kept secret.”

"In this case, his whereabouts must be very secretive. Even if the Cui family knew he was dead, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to find out where he went, especially since the two of them acted as robbery cultivators. I'm afraid the Cui family would never have expected that."

After this analysis.

Fu Shaoping's heart was half relieved at once.

but.

He still has a doubt:
"Tenth Grandfather, I heard that Cui Mingyue's father is the head of the Eighth Branch of the Cui Family, and his own cultivation has already reached the Tianyuan Realm. I'm afraid Cui Mingyue has already mentioned this cave ruins to his father."

"You don't have to worry about this. Cui Mingyue's father, Cui Changqing, is an old stubborn man who follows the rules. Once he is told about the ruins of the cave, he will definitely report it to the clan. Cui Mingyue definitely did not tell his father, otherwise there would be more than just the two of them on this trip."

Cui Mingyue is Cui Changqing's treasure.

How could the other party be confident that Cui Mingyue could go to such a far place, especially in the Million Mountains where monsters and beasts roam rampant?

Fu Shaoping glanced at the ruins of the cave, patted his storage bag, and immediately took out a yuan note and handed it to Fu Zixu:
"Tenth Grandfather, this is my note for 80,000 lower-grade Yuanshi. Please help me inform the clan that they can start purchasing Yin Sha Qi. As for the other 20,000 Yuanshi, I have not received the dividends from the mines in the institute, so I should have about 20,000 Yuanshi."

It is clear.

Fu Shaoping meant to inform the clan about the ruins of the ancient monk's cave.

Ask the patriarch to send someone to investigate.

His current task is to concentrate on cultivation.

Seeing Fu Shaoping's frank face, Fu Zixu couldn't help but admire him.

An ancient monk's cave.

Even an old guy like him was moved.

It was not easy for Fu Shaoping to remain so calm. He nodded slightly and said:
"Okay, I'll contact the clan leader right away."

talking.

Fu Zixu did not avoid Fu Shaoping either.

He just slapped his storage bag.

A flash of glow.

Suddenly, an antique mirror floated in the air.

As he injected spells into the mirror, the mirror began to vibrate with a humming sound, and a hazy white light lit up. The white light gathered together, revealing the outline of a human figure, which slowly became clearer.

Take a closer look.

It’s the head of the Fu family!

Fu Shaoping quickly bowed.

Patriarch Fu in the mirror saw Fu Shaoping and smiled slightly:
"I was thinking of sending someone to look for you. The clan has already purchased your share of Yin Sha Qi. In addition, after the Supreme Elder learned about your situation, he also supplemented your remaining share of Yin Sha Qi Yuan Shi as a gift to you."

Fu Shaoping was overjoyed.

He immediately bowed:
"Thank you, Patriarch, and thank you, Grand Elder."

Fu Zixu briefly told the story of Cui Mingyue and Cui Laoba. The Fu clan leader in the mirror sneered:
"This Cui family really thinks we are soft persimmons. There is no need to be afraid of them. They were the ones who made the mistake first. Our ancestors are still guarding the clan mountain. Even if they find out something, there is no need to be afraid."

Fu Zixu nodded slightly.

Then he quickly wrote a line of words and unfolded the topographic map of the ancient monk's cave ruins for Patriarch Fu to see.

Patriarch Fu’s eyes lit up.

The analysis is the same as Fu Zixu's.

It is estimated that the Cui family will not be able to find anything.

but.

He was still worried:
"There is an incident recorded in the history of our clan. A clan member obtained a topographic map of the ruins of an ancient cultivator's cave residence. When he opened the cave residence, he found that it was a trap set by a hostile family. The clan member who obtained this ruins was also a member of our Fu family who had great hope of reaching the Yuandan realm."

nowadays.

Cui Mingyue obtained the topographic map of the ancient monk’s cave ruins.

Obviously.

There are some similarities between the two.

Therefore, Chief Fu said:
"To prevent this from being a trap, I have to report this matter to the old ancestor. The old ancestor will make the final decision. You must remember not to act on your own."

"Yes, patriarch!"

Fu Zixu and the other man bowed in response.

The white light in the mirror faded away, and everything returned to its normal appearance.

Fu Zixu put the mirror into the storage bag and said to Fu Shaoping:
"When the clan leader has any news, I will inform you as soon as possible. During this period, you can go to the Hundred Households Office to do your duties as usual. By the way, what do you and your wife think about Ningning's matter?"

Wait for Fu Shaoping to tell us his plan.

Fu Zixu was stunned for a moment, then nodded slightly:
"I didn't think about it enough. You two are flesh and blood, and it's hard to part with each other. Well, let's wait until the child is older."
