Chapter 440 The Young Swordsman's Tale: Underworld Chapter 8
Even today, Xiao Se has not given up on the idea of exonerating Xiao Ruofeng.
After four years of quiet reflection, he realized that he could no longer continue to be so depressed.
To clear Uncle Wang's name, they must return to Tianqi City.
However, Xiao Se had his own pride and principles, and he was unwilling to return by imperial decree, because that would mean he admitted that he had made mistakes in the past.
Xiao Se secretly planned that if he wanted to return to Tianqi City, he needed to be backed by a powerful team so that he could announce his return in an arrogant manner, clear his uncle's name, and vindicate his past.
However, during the four years he was demoted, he was too busy reminiscing about the past, and his connection with the forces in the court gradually became distant. He also missed the opportunity to consolidate control over the nine cities of Qingzhou.
Nowadays, there are very few helpers to rely on.
He must take proactive steps to secure more support.
After much thought, Xiao Se remembered the Four Guardians of Apocalypse.
If he can get the support of the Four Guardians of Apocalypse, then he can return to Apocalypse City smoothly.
I never imagined that fate could be so magical.
Just as Xiao Se had the idea of finding the Four Guardians of Apocalypse, Lei Wujie, a descendant of Li Xinyue, one of the Four Guardians and the Azure Dragon Envoy, had already come to his side.
Thus, Xiao Se officially returned to the martial world under the pretext of following Lei Wujie to Snow Moon City to ask for money.
On their way to Snowmoon City, they encountered Tang Lian, who was escorting a golden coffin.
In fact, the whole thing about the golden coffin was just a charade orchestrated by Snowmoon City.
They put Wuxin into a golden coffin, ostensibly to send him to the Nine Dragons Temple, but in reality, it was because the twelve-year agreement to lock the mountains and rivers had expired, and they were worried that people in the martial arts world would not let Wuxin go easily. So they wanted to use this method to make the people from the Outer Heavens come and snatch him away.
But the problem is, they could have easily had the White-Haired Immortal and the Purple-Clad Marquis secretly take Wuxin away.
There was absolutely no need to go to such lengths to stage a golden coffin incident and stir up a storm in the martial arts world for no reason.
Even Xiao Ruofeng felt somewhat speechless after seeing it.
However, Xiao Ruofeng was quite happy to hear that his nephew was safe and sound.
Seeing that Xiao Se was still determined to overturn his case, Xiao Ruofeng couldn't help but feel a little moved.
As a result, Xiao Ruofeng gradually became engrossed in watching the main hall, until he saw Xiao Yu severely injure the White-Haired Immortal and the Purple-Clad Marquis with a single move, at which point he couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.
The noise was so loud that it immediately alerted the people in the side hall.
Just then, everyone had grown tired of playing mahjong. Hearing the commotion, they slowly got up and, with a mix of curiosity and curiosity, strolled back to the main hall.
Xiao Yi was so confused by the behavior of the group that he had returned to a Buddhist-like state of "children and grandchildren have their own blessings."
He strolled into the hall leisurely, sat down unhurriedly, and then asked Xiao Ruofeng, "What new things have happened up there?"
At the same time, my gaze inadvertently swept across the large screen—
"Wow! When did the Crimson King become so powerful? If I remember correctly, the White-Haired Immortal and the Purple-Clad Marquis were experts from the Outer Heavens. Their cultivation levels were already quite high more than ten years ago. They should be at least at the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm by now, right? How could Xiao Yu defeat them in a single move?"
Xiao Ruofeng looked completely bewildered and shook his head upon hearing this: "I don't know either!"
Aren't you going to watch it?
"I've looked at it, but I still don't know!"
At this moment, Emperor Mingguan excitedly leaned closer to the large screen, his eyes fixed on Xiao Yu on it, and exclaimed in amazement, "You guys say that Xiao Yu can seriously injure two experts of the Free and Unfettered Heaven Realm with a single move, so what level of cultivation must he have?"
Upon hearing this, Emperor Tai'an shook his head: "I don't know, but at least he must be at least a Sword Immortal in cultivation."
Xiao Ruofeng recalled Xiao Yu from his memories, hesitatingly saying, "Probably, maybe, perhaps it is."
Xiao Yi, unusually serious, looked at Xiao Yu on the screen and slowly said, "Sword Immortal is not enough. I think he should at least be at the half-step Divine Travel level."
Xiao Yi was the one with the highest cultivation level among everyone present, so his insight in this area was naturally far superior to that of the others, and his words carried more authority.
Now that he has said this, no one doubts him.
Emperor Xiaokang, hands clasped in his pockets, watched Xiao Yu on the screen with great interest, clicking his tongue in amazement: "This Crimson King is hiding his true strength! Not only does no one around him know his cultivation level, but even we onlookers couldn't discern his true power."
Everyone's interest was fully piqued, and they stopped thinking about doing anything else. Each person got a chair and began to watch the movie attentively.
However, when they saw that Xiao Yu not only saved Wuxin, but also kept him by his side, and even planned to go to Snow Moon City to abolish the Lock Mountain and River Pact, everyone couldn't help but frown.
"Could this Xiao Yu be the reincarnation of the Holy Father? Why would he save Wuxin? Is it just because of that little bit of blood relation?"
"That's right! Although they were born of the same mother, their fathers were enemies."
"If Xiao Yu really wanted a younger brother, there are so many princes in the palace, why couldn't he just pick one at random? Why did he have to pick one up from outside?"
"I don't understand!"
Everyone was puzzled and could only continue to frown as they watched Xiao Yu show Wuxin all sorts of kindness and tolerate all his words and actions.
At first glance, Xiao Yu seems like an older brother who dotes on his younger brother.
However, as time went on, people gradually realized that something was wrong.
Emperor Mingguan clicked his tongue, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly said, "Why do I feel that Xiao Yu's attitude towards Wuxin is a little strange?"
Emperor Tai'an nodded thoughtfully: "Something is indeed not quite right, but I can't quite put my finger on what it is!"
Xiao Ruofeng scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, and said, "Is something wrong? To me, they seem like normal siblings!"
Upon hearing this, the hall fell silent instantly.
All eyes turned to Xiao Ruofeng, who looked serious and clearly believed what he had said.
After a brief moment of contemplation, everyone nodded in sudden understanding: "Oh, I see!"
Xiao Yi suddenly spoke up: "Now I know why Xiao Yu chose Wuxin."
The others nodded in agreement: "We understand too."
Xiao Yu created and seized the moment when Wu Xin needed the care of his family the most. With only a small amount of effort, he gained a good younger brother who was gifted, intelligent, good-looking, and devoted to him wholeheartedly, and who would not compete with him for the throne.
Wuxin is only seventeen years old now. As long as Xiao Yu can give him proper guidance and training, in time, Wuxin will surely become one of Xiao Yu's most capable and fierce generals.
That's brilliant!
