Chapter 159: The Whereabouts of the Wei Family

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

A continuous mountain range.

Bao Xinxuan entered with a group of guards and descendants.

There were dense forests in the mountains, and terrifying beast roars could be heard from time to time.

Most of these young juniors were facing this kind of environment for the first time, so they all seemed a little nervous.

“The trial is about to begin…”

After walking into the mountains, Bao Xinxuan pulled the reins. “From now on, everyone will disperse. You can freely form a team of less than three people, or you can act independently. But whether you form a team or are alone, you have to hunt demon beasts above the middle level mortal realm.”

“Huh?”

After hearing Bao Xinxuan’s words, most of the younger generation panicked.

Most of them had only been quietly cultivating in the family clan, so hunting demon beasts on their own put huge psychological pressure on them.

Seeing how reluctant the younger generation was, Bao Xinxuan snorted.

“You people have been living under the protection of your family, you don’t know the dangers of the martial arts world at all. Only by participating in actual combat and tempering your character, can you use your martial arts knowledge and become a true powerhouse.”

Bao Xinxuan said, “Of course, you don’t have to worry too much. After all, you are outstanding disciples of the family, we won’t let you die.”

“The demon beasts in this mountain range are not very strong. As long as you deal with them appropriately, your lives will not be in danger. In addition, before leaving, didn’t each of you bring a firework torch? After lighting your firework torch, you can quickly send out a distress signal. Even if you encounter a dangerous situation, the other guards and I will immediately find you.”

“However…”

Bao Xinxuan paused for a moment. “You must be careful, because if you are ambushed by a demon beast, you won’t be able to react at all.”

Bao Xinxuan glanced at Bao Weijing.

“Okay, let’s split up and go.”

Bao Xinxuan ordered.

Groups of young people began to gather together.

“Looking for a team…”

Bao Weijing discovered that no one came to find him.

However, this was within Bao Weijing’s expectations.

Because of his low status in the family, Bao Weijing had no connections with these outstanding disciples.

“Forget it, I can act alone.”

Bao Weijing thought, ‘Plus, Senior Tao is near me. He could protect me.’

Afterwards, Bao Weijing entered the mountains alone.

Seeing this, a smile appeared in Bao Xinxuan’s eyes.

‘If he’s alone, it will be more convenient for me to take action.’

Bao Weijing dismounted and stalked Bao Weijing.

In the mountains.

Because the terrain ahead was too steep, Bao Weijing had already dismounted from his horse.

He held a long knife and walked cautiously along the mountain road.

‘It’s not difficult to hunt a middle level demon beast.’

Bao Weijing was getting more confident.

He was already in the mortal realm seventh stage, and with his strength, he could even deal with some weaker high level demon beasts.

“There’s movement!”

Suddenly, Bao Weijing heard a sound.

A giant bear demon beast suddenly emerged from the dense forest and stared at him.

“This is…”

Bao Weijing felt a terrifying aura from the giant bear demon beast.

‘It’s a high level demon beast!’

Bao Weijing immediately guessed.

The giant bear demon beast immediately dashed towards Bao Weijing.

Bao Weijing was a little nervous, but at the same time, his blood was boiling.

‘Maybe I can fight it!’

Bao Weijing did not retreat, instead he walked forward with a knife.

While dodging, he slashed the giant bear demon beast with his long knife.

For a moment, the man and the beast were fighting each other.

Bao Weijing didn’t know that Bao Xinxuan was secretly observing him.

‘Not bad, if this kid grows up in the future, he might be able to break through to the void realm. No wonder Madam Quan is so worried.’

“No need to delay, just get rid of him.”

Bao Weijing stretched out his finger and wrapped it with true qi.

Whoosh!

A stream of true qi shot out.

Bao Weijing was fighting the giant bear demon beast.

At that moment, the giant bear demon beast reached out its giant claws, attempting to slap Bao Weijing’s head.

Noticing this, Bao Weijing quickly dodged.

If he was hit, Bao Weijing would die on the spot.

However, at the critical moment when he was about to dodge the giant claws, Bao Weijing suddenly felt his body going numb, rendering him motionless.

“What’s going on?!”

Bao Weijing panicked.

Bao Weijing was powerless to dodge the giant claw.

Bao Xinxuan, the instigator, could already imagine the scene of Bao Weijing being smashed.

The scene of Bao Weijing being killed by a demon beast was easy for Bao Xinxuan to imagine.

However, at the critical moment, the giant bear demon beast suddenly stopped moving before falling to the ground without making a sound.

A huge wound appeared on its back.

A figure wearing a white shirt and a mask landed on a nearby rock.

“Senior Tao!”

Bao Weijing’s body could move again.

“Senior Tao saved me!”

Bao Weijing felt relieved, his heart trembled.

If Xu Ning hadn’t appeared, he would have died here.

“Senior Tao…”

Bao Weijing quickly walked forward, but Xu Ning ignored him.

“As a void realm second stage true qi realm martial artist, you are plotting against a mortal realm junior. This is quite embarrassing!”

Xu Ning’s tone was full of mockery.

“What?”

Bao Weijing’s heart skipped a beat.

“Senior Tao, are you saying that someone is secretly targeting me?”

Bao Weijing followed Xu Ning’s gaze.

Bao Xinxuan slowly walked out and looked at Xu Ning in surprise.

Not only was Xu Ning able to resolve his attack, but he also discovered him.

‘Elder Bao Xinxuan? My body suddenly went numb just now, did he do that?’

Bao Weijing never expected that the family elders in his family would want to kill him.

“Who are you?”

Although Bao Weijing noticed him, Bao Xinxuan didn’t mind at all.

The mysterious masked man made Bao Xinxuan feel uncomfortable.

If he didn’t see the masked man standing here with his naked eye, he wouldn’t have been able to sense his existence at all.

This could only mean that the masked man had restrained his aura, but his strength was much stronger than hiss.

“Weijing, leave first.”

Xu Ning said.

Bao Weijing looked at Bao Xinxuan with fear and hatred.

“Yes.”

Bao Weijing quickly left.

After seeing that Bao Weijing had left, Bao Xinxuan narrowed his eyes, but he didn’t dare to stop him.

“Who are you?”

Bao Xinxuan said carefully, “I am Bao Xinxuan from the Bao family, a subordinate family of the Yuelan Sect.”

Bao Xinxuan quickly mentioned his family.

While he was talking, Bao Xinxuan quickly thought about whether this person was his enemy.

When he was traveling, he had offended many people, causing many people to want to kill him.

However, no one dared to come to the Crystal Mansion to seek revenge.

The mountains in the depths of the city were also the territory of the Crystal Mansion, logically speaking, no one should dare to come here.

‘This masked man not only knows me, but also Bao Weijing.’

Bao Xinxuan was unable to determine Xu Ning’s identity.

Xu Ning took off his mask and revealed his face.

“So young!”

Bao Xinxuan was shocked.

Although a void realm martial artist could greatly slow down their rate of ageing, the process was still inevitable.

With Xu Ning’s young appearance, he was definitely not too old, definitely not more than 30 years old.

“It seems that you still don’t remember me…”

Xu Ning smiled and shook his head. “That’s true, after all, you have abducted me from State Feiyun to State Jifeng a year ago.”

“You!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Bao Xinxuan’s eyes suddenly widened, his body stiffened.

He pointed at Xu Ning with trembling hands, his voice full of disbelief. “You are…”

“That’s right, I was the mortal realm warrior who you kidnapped from State Feiyun to State Jifeng!”

The next moment, Xu Ning appeared in front of Bao Xinxuan.

Before Bao Xinxuan could react, Xu Ning reached out his fingertips and touched his chest. Immediately after, Bao Xinxuan screamed, then his body went limp and fell to the ground.

“How is this possible!?”

Bao Xinxuan lost all his strength as he collapsed on the stone wall. He looked up at Xu Ning in horror.

He had only been to State Feiyun once, so he had a deep impression of the trip.

After Xu Ning finished speaking, he remembered the young man who was thrown into the Fire Crystal Mine.

‘At that time, he was only in the mortal realm sixth stage inner qi realm, but now he is at least in the void realm fourth stage!’

Bao Xinxuan couldn’t imagine how this person escaped from the mine and advanced to this realm in just one year.

“Sir, don’t kill me!”

Bao Xinxuan knew that this person was here to take revenge.

“It was not my idea to offend you, it was that old hag Bao Qiuhua’s idea. I was just accompanying her!”

Bao Xinxuan pushed all the blame to Bao Qiuhua without hesitation.

“You were just accompanying her?”

Xu Ning was also amused by Bao Xinxuan’s shamelessness.

Bao Xinxuan was the one who kidnapped and killed the guards.

If it weren’t for the person Bao Xinxuan called her mother-in-law, Xu Ning would have been killed by him.

“Tell me, besides me, where are the other three?”

Xu Ning was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he went straight to the point.

“They are still in the Bao family mansion!”

Because of the huge pressure coming from Xu Ning, Bao Xinxuan quickly responded.

“Oh?”

Xu Ning felt relieved.

It seemed that the three Wei family members were still alive—this was good news.

“You abducted them for the dao seal?”

Xu Ning asked.
