Starting from the creation of Samadhi True Fire at Shenhuoshuo Village

Chapter 102 Xiao Mansion, the end is coming

Xiao House.

It’s still the two stone lions standing solemnly, it’s still the long lapis lazuli staircase, and it’s still the thick black carpet.

The left and right sides of the long black carpet were still lined with guards holding long swords.

Everything is slightly the same as before, but that's just on the surface.

In the Xiao Mansion, a melancholy young man was crouching in front of the door eaves of the master bedroom, not daring to look inside for a long time.

After a while, he sighed and said:

"Dad, the inspector is looking for you over there..."

——"Didn't I tell you not to disturb me?"

"Yes Yes……"

The young man responded tremblingly and ran away quickly.

His name is Xiao Tianhao, and he is the only son of Xiao Wancheng. Perhaps because his father was too domineering and scheming, his long-term high pressure caused him to have a sad and weak character.

He has always been in awe of his father, Xiao Wancheng. He rarely even talks to or greets him, let alone communicating with him.

But recently, Xiao Wancheng seems to have changed since he came back from Tianxianyuan. He locked himself in the house, scolded the servants even when they brought the rice, and the Obsidian Supervisor ignored the official business there. .

This is too abnormal.

Xiao Tianhao didn't know anything about Xiao Wancheng's affairs outside the mansion, but whenever he was in the mansion, he was always devoted to his official duties, discussing the recent schedule with the supervisors of his subordinates, acting resolutely and decisively.

But now my father behaves as if he has done something wrong, like a man who has committed a heinous crime and is waiting to be executed.

What's wrong with father?
----

In the private room, Xiao Wancheng sat on a bench in front of the couch. His whole body was unbearably hot and he had already foreseen the future he was about to face.

The fire skill cast by Lin Ye still remained in his body, but it was much weaker than before.

In the past two days, I couldn't think about it day and night. Even my dreams were filled with the shadow of this fire energy, and everything I said and did was controlled and driven by it. It wasn't until I returned to Xiao's Mansion that this fire energy seemed to have subsided a little. , no longer an absolute threat to myself as before.

But when he escaped from the fear of this fire technique, and when Xiao Wancheng's brain gradually woke up, he realized what the real terror was.

He had let go of so many demon clans from Tianxianyuan. How would Xiao Wancheng escape if he was held accountable in the future?

For this reason, Xiao Wancheng specially sent his subordinates to deliver secret letters to the major families with whom he had a good relationship in the Dao League, asking them to reason with him. If a family that was hostile to him came to visit, Xiao Wancheng would pretend to go out to work. , let Xiao Tianhao see off the guests.

These have been discussed clearly with Xiao Tianhao and the supervisory envoys, but Xiao Wancheng still can't let go, because since the secret letter was sent out, no Taoist alliance family has come to visit.

Soon after, an inspector knocked on the door.

"Master, the head of the Li family is here."

"Is it Mr. Li? Is he the only one?"

"Yes, he is the only one. Do you think?"

"I'll be out right now."

As if grasping a life-saving straw, Xiao Wancheng propped up his numb legs, patted his cheek, and walked out of the lobby in a daze.

In the lobby, Mr. Li was sitting on an Arhat stool, and Xiao Tianhao was making tea for him.

As soon as he saw Xiao Wancheng, Xiao Tianhao immediately looked shocked and retreated in a panic before his father could say anything.

"Brother Li! I can't wait for you..."

——"No need to be polite."

Mr. Li shook his head and waved his hands, sighing bitterly.After waving his hand, Xiao Wancheng's heart felt cold before he said a few words.

"Brother Xiao, you said you were forced to let those fox demons go. Did you really not escape?"

"This...it is absolutely true that I am driven by others!"

"Is it really the disciple of the Dongfang family who did this?"

"Exactly!"

Mr. Li nodded and stopped mentioning this topic.

After a while, Mr. Li started chatting with Xiao Wancheng about some commonplace things. Basically, it was about family feuds that Xiao Wancheng was not interested in at all. It didn't take long for Mr. Li to pat his butt and go home.

As Mr. Li left, Xiao Wancheng's face became increasingly ugly.

He could already foresee that the Dao League was not willing to defend him at all, nor did they believe any of his words.

After Mr. Li left the Xiao Mansion, a red-haired girl suddenly came up to him and approached him with a sly smile.

"Dad, do you think the Xiao family is really doomed this time?"

She is Li Muchen, the third daughter of the Li family.Her two eldest brothers, Li Quzhuo and Li Zizai, are both geniuses among the younger generation of the Taoist League.

"The dust hasn't settled yet for this child, so it's too early to make any judgments."

"Hehe~ That's nine out of ten, right?"

"Why, do you hate their Obsidian Inspectors so much?"

"Of course, they have a lot of rules. Dad, don't you hate them the most?"

"I don't care, but as you said, the Xiao Mansion may not be saved by gods this time. The reason why I came here is just to miss my old relationship."

Mr. Li sighed, thinking that his daughter was really smart. She obviously didn't know the whole story, but she could guess the outcome just by looking at the wind and shadows.

"This time Xiao Wancheng can't be cleared of the crime of letting the fox demon go. Dad didn't expect that he would put the blame on the Dongfang family. He also said that the Shenhuo Spirit Clan has the magic to control people. It's really ridiculous..."

"A magic that controls people? Isn't that the fox-mind technique of the Tushan fox demon? Dad, do you think it's possible that the Tushan fox demon used the fox-mind technique to give Uncle Xiao..."

"That's what he asked for. Hey... Brother Xiao is a bit scheming, but he hates the demon clan the most in his life. I never thought that something like this would happen."

Mr. Li shook his head again.

"Every demon in Tianxian Yuan should have been dealt with with the demon-suppressing talisman or the demon-controlling talisman. As the governor of that area, he would make such mistakes and let the Taoist people's efforts be in vain. This The crime is not small. If we wade into this muddy water, we might all be killed..."

------

"Tianhao, pack your things immediately and leave the Xiao Mansion with your father in half a stick of incense!"

"Also, tell those Taoists to listen. Once someone asks where we are, report directly that we have important matters to go out!"

Xiao Wancheng ordered Xiao Tianhao with a solemn expression.

"Where are we going?"

"Don't worry about it now, go!"

"Oh oh..."

Seeing Xiao Tianhao leaving in a hurry, Xiao Wancheng also began to clean up his things quickly.

"The Southern Kingdom, Beishan, Western Region, and even the island nation after crossing to the mysterious Longwan sea area... must not stay here any longer!"
