Chapter 726: The World Turned Upside Down
Two hidden lights drifted in the sky, with one coming from a man and another coming from a woman.
They were both dressed in robes and around 30 years old, with ordinary faces and eagle-like eyes. Their divine mind swept out like a radar.
The woman swept around and said, “What are we going to do when we find the boy from the Liu family?”
The man glanced at the woman and sneered, “We’ll get rid of him, of course. He is very dangerous. Why do you ask? Do you want to keep and raise him? Even the Immemorial Path has stepped forward and said that they want to take the boy as their disciple. In the black market, that boy from the Liu family can be sold for two million mid-tier spirit stones!”
The woman raised her brows. She also thought the same thing. Of course, the descendants of the sacred ones would’ve been worth a lot. It was especially so for those who awakened their bloodline.
Countless forces had such plans in mind. Some forces with a higher level of influence would’ve taken these descendants in as their son or daughter-in-law. Others would’ve directly captured and bred them.
Some forces were even crueler than that; they would’ve done autopsies on their bodies.
Everybody knew what happened to the Liu family at the time!
Still amazed, the woman said, “Tut-tut, he is someone with the blood of the sacred ones, after all. A boy without any cultivation is actually quite valuable. Even if both of our families united, we still wouldn’t have two million mid-tier spirit stones!”
Legends about the sacred ones could’ve been found all over the continent, but no one had ever seen a real living sacred one.
The man said, “I’m afraid we won’t be able to get the two million mid-tier spirit stones. We can’t get that reward with so many people wanting to get their hands on it as well. However, the Jiang family’s reward is a little more reliable. Although they’re only offering 500,000 mid-tier spirit stones, they only have a simple request. It doesn’t matter if we get him dead or alive. Of course, it would be better if he was dead. Sending them the head would be even better!”
The man said.
“This task is less risky!”
Suddenly, the two of them saw a boy and a young man on the edge of a cottage in a valley below their feet. They were looking up at the sky.
“Sister, look, is that Liu Haotian?”
The man was pleasantly surprised to see a young man in a white robe and a child who seemed to be only a few years old.
Sure enough, they were the same as what the stories had described them to be!
“Hahahaha, it’s them. God must’ve rewarded me for my patience!” The woman roared with laughter, feeling that she was very lucky.
“Let’s capture them first, don’t let them get away!”
The man roared with laughter before reaching out with a big hand. In an instant, Boundless spirit qi instantly wrapped around the big hand, which turned into a big qi-condensed hand and grabbed at Liu Haotian.
Suddenly, the young man staring at the sky in a daze made a move. For a moment, the Spiritual Aether on his body soared. A long whip swung out and flashed with electricity.
The whip was like a long spear that instantly pierced the big hand. Then, the whip tied around the man and suddenly dragged him down.
Boom!
The man hit the ground hard, leaving behind a large crater in the ground of the valley.
“This is bad!”
The woman realized that things had taken a turn for the worse, but it was too late. She was also wrapped by the thunderous whip and suddenly pulled down. She crashed onto the ground, creating a large crater as well.
All of this would’ve taken time to recount, but it all happened in just a moment. The moment the man and the woman made a move, they had already lost. Then, they were tied up by the Dragon-snaring Lasso and fell in front of Lu Xuan.
That was when the two men remembered another story.
Liu Haotian was forcibly snatched away from the hands of the Jiang family by a young man in a white robe. He had taken the boy away after destroying a group of elders and experts of the Jiang family.
Although the Jiang family was only a small family, their leader was in the seventh tier of the Divine Transformation Realm. He could’ve been considered to be an expert.
Coupled with a group of the Jiang family’s elders, their scale was quite big when compared to these two lone Cultivators.
Even with such a line-up, they had failed to keep the bloodline of the sacred ones. The strength of the young man in the white robe was simply terrifying.
They just didn’t take the matter seriously before this. Since the incident, no one had seen the young man in a white robe. Although the Jiang family provided drawings of the man, nobody could find anyone who resembled the drawing.
Many people even thought that the story of the Jiang family was just an excuse and could not be trusted.
Only now did the man and the woman realize that they were too careless.
Lu Xuan looked at the man and the woman who had been pulled down from the sky with the Dragon-snaring Lasso rope and said, “Tell me, how did you guys find out about this?”
Lu Xuan saw that they were aiming at Liu Haotian from the start. It was obvious that they were targeting Liu Haotian and not just passing by.
The man and woman did not want to say anything at first, but they could not stop Lu Xuan.
Soon, they told Lu Xuan everything. Only then did Lu Xuan find out what had happened outside during this time.
Lu Xuan killed the elders and experts of the Jiang family.
Someone else saw this unfolding in the distance, causing a huge stir within the entire Jiang family.
At first, the Jiang family had spent a month panicking. When they found that Lu Xuan didn’t try to kill them, they immediately regained their courage. They sent out the message that Liu Haotian had awakened the blood of the sacred ones.
Although many people already knew about this, it caused an immediate stir after the Jiang family personally made the announcement.
After so many years, a descendant of the sacred ones had finally awakened the blood of the sacred ones.
For a time, the entire Holy Sun Continent was boiling, as everyone wanted to find Liu Haotian. The Immemorial Path wanted to accept Liu Haotian as a disciple, while others wanted to capture and use him to study the secret of the blood of the scared ones.
Suddenly, everyone ran around in a frenzy!
The Jiang family even took this opportunity to hold a meeting and recruit heroes from all over the world. Their targets were Lu Xuan and Liu Haotian. Anyone who killed Liu Haotian would be rewarded two million mid-tier spirit stones. If they could kill Lu Xuan as well, they would be given half of the Jiang family’s fortune.
They knew who Lu Xuan was, so they could only draw him and send out his arrest notice to everyone all over the world.
The arrest notice caused an uproar as soon as the Jiang family issued it.
Although the Jiang family wasn’t very big, they had a lineage of hundreds of years and a profound foundation. Many of their businesses were also making progress with each passing day.
Giving away half of their fortune was considered a bold move on their part.
For a while, all the experts set out to look for Lu Xuan and Liu Haotian.
It didn’t matter which one was found; they were both worth a lot. From then on, they would have no shortage of cultivation resources. Countless lone Cultivators like this duo went out to find Lu Xuan and Liu Haotian as if they were sharks drawn to blood.
The man quickly decided to beg for mercy. “This is everything we know. Please let us live. We will keep our mouths shut and never mention that we saw you!”
