"Young Master Nangong, can I call you that?" Hu Xueman said softly, and asked somewhat stiffly, her beautiful eyes revealing a faint anticipation.
"Of course. By the way, ask something you shouldn't. Don't know why they arrested you? Furthermore, I discovered that none of them seemed to have tried to kill me. Seems like they want to capture you alive. " Nangong Shi smiled slightly, then asked.
"Young Master Nangong, actually, the matter is like this …" Hu Er saw Nangong Shi asking about it and looked at him. Seeing the latter nodding his head, he opened his mouth and spoke.
So it turned out that Hu Xueman was the young miss of the Hu family. The Hu family was one of the top forces in the Shuangyang City. There were a total of three big powers in Shuangyang City. Among them, the Hu family was a major power, and the Qin family that Qin Wuming belonged to was also a major power. As for the third power, it was the City Lord's Mansion. However, in comparison, the Mayor's mansion had power over the Hu and Qin families. After all, the Mayor's mansion had power.
Usually, under the constraints of the City Lord's Mansion, the Hu and Qin families seemed to have nothing to do with each other. However, in order to compete for the second seat in Shuangyang City, the two families had secretly fought hundreds of times. But the two families are almost the same in power, so if you can't take me, I can't take you. It was only the other small powers in the city that suffered. Furthermore, since they were fighting in private, in the marketplace, mines, and even in terms of resources, the City Lord's Mansion just turned a blind eye.
However, the occurrence of this kind of interception still began this year. Under Nangong Shi's questioning, Hu Xueman stopped Hu Er and personally spoke.
It turned out that from this year onwards, this situation would not be as simple as this. Since this year, when Hu Xueman's father was also the Patriarch of the Hu Family, Hu Hyde. Inexplicable poisoning caused one's strength to regress. This phenomenon began. Dozens of people from the Hu family had died in the assassination of the Qin family. They had all been brutally killed after leaving the city. Countless small powers had been annihilated. After many investigations, the Hu family finally found out that there was a shadow of the Qin family behind the poison incident in Hu Hyde. However, the strongest member of the Hu family was Hu Hyde. Now that Hu Hyde's strength had been reduced, it was impossible for him to face off against the Qin family head on. So the Hu family had to swallow their anger and look for a way to cure the poison.
After half a year of investigation, the Hu family finally found out that there was a rare medicine on the mountain of Zi Yun that was 800 kilometers away from the Shuangyang City. And Hu Xueman, was the leader of this mission. After more than a month of time, Hu Xueman finally found this rare spiritual medicine on the Violet Cloud Mountain. Just as Hu Xueman and the rest were about to return along the route they had planned, no one knew where the Qin family came from. There were already a few groups of people trying to stop them, but they were all killed by Hu Er and her men, so they were fine.
"Miss Hu, there is one thing I don't understand. I'll say something rather unpleasant. According to what you said just now, your father is already extremely poisoned and is unable to use his previous strength. However, your father is the strongest person in the Hu family. Since your father fell, why didn't the Qin family take the opportunity to take over your Hu family? " Nangong Shi thought for a while before he asked.
"Young Master Nangong doesn't know. In Shuangyang City, fighting was prohibited. No matter who the violator was, he would be expelled from the City Lord's Mansion. If you are not careful, you might be killed. " Hu Xueman said with a wry smile. If not for this rule, the Hu family would have already been exterminated.
"So that's how it is. But, what kind of power is the City Lord's Mansion? I heard that the City Lord's Mansion is very strong. " Nangong Shi nodded, and then asked.
"Young Master Nangong, you aren't from my Xuanwu Continent, right? Furthermore, from the looks of it, you do not understand our Xuanwu Continent at all. " Hu Xueman said.
"To be honest, we are indeed not from the Xuanwu Continent. So we really don't know much about what you're talking about. " Hearing Hu Xueman's question, Nangong Shi also spoke the truth.
"As I thought. Young Master Nangong, it looks like I have to tell you about the history of our Xuanwu Continent. " Hu Xueman laughed and slowly explained.
It turned out that in the Xuanwu Continent, although there were many battles happening in many cities, However, there were three major cities that everyone knew about. They were cities where no one dared to fight on their own. Because these three cities all had a defensive formation, the city governor personally controlled them. However, after the formation gave birth to its own will, the City Lord's Mansion lost control. As for the will of the great array, it was also affected by the original function of the great array, to protect the life within the city. Thus, the City Lord's Mansion was not too worried. In the city, Soul force could be used, but if they were deemed to be harmful to the city, they would be killed.
These three cities were the biggest cities in the entire Xuanwu Continent. It was created by the human ancestors after the appearance of the Xuanwu Continent. It was originally built to allow the human race to reproduce and withstand the attacks of wild beasts. However, as the humans continued to multiply, the number of humans increased. The city grew bigger and bigger, and in the end, became one of the three largest cities in the Xuanwu Continent, continuing all the way until now. The great formation had been built from the very start of the city, and after countless repairs, it no longer had any holes. In addition, the will of the formation constantly absorbed and refined a large amount of spirit energy.
The Shuangyang City the Hu Family resided in was one of the three cities. The other two are the Derived City and the Five Spirit City. Therefore, even if the Hu Family's Patriarch Hu Hyde was poisoned and his strength fell, the Qin Family wouldn't dare to brazenly make a move in the city.
"Young Master Nangong, do you understand now?" After Hu Xueman finished explaining, he said with a smile.
"So that's how it is. Young Miss Hu, what if a person's strength reached the heavens and the will of the array could not erase it? Furthermore, if there's a fight, how can it be resolved? " Luo Cheng asked somewhat curiously.
"Master Luo Cheng, this situation has never happened before. No one had seen the strength of the great array will, but there was one person who had once wanted to use his own strength to resist the great array will. But in just a moment, he had been completely wiped out by the great array. Ever since then, no one dared to lay a hand on anyone in the city. His name was the Black Demon Child, and he was a genuine low level King Spirit Master. As for the battles, there was a private battlefield in the city, called the Soul Breaking Battle Arena. However, if it wasn't a matter of life and death, very few people would have come to the Absolute Soul Martial Field. Because, in the martial field, there is only one person who can survive. Without a difference in life and death, there is no way to leave. " Hu Xueman patiently explained.
King Spirit Master!
Nangong Shi and the other two obviously swallowed their saliva, and looked at each other. Although he was only a low level King Spirit Master, a King's Realm cultivator was still a King's Realm cultivator.
"Young Master Nangong, do you have any other questions?" Hu Xueman looked at Nangong Shi and asked.
"Miss Hu, I don't have any for now." "Oh, right. Then how do you deal with that person from the Qin Clan?" After Nangong Shi finished speaking, he looked towards the place where Qin Wuming was standing before, but in the end, Qin Wuming had actually disappeared.
"Young Master Nangong, maybe that Qin Wuming took advantage of the time we were talking and secretly escaped. "Damn it!" Everyone thought of Qin Wuming and looked over. When they realized that Qin Wuming had disappeared, Hu Er spoke with some regret.
"Brother Hu, it's fine." As long as we return to the Shuangyang City safely and save father. so he's not afraid of the Qin family. " Hu Xueman consoled her.
"Miss is right, I'll tell everyone to prepare them. Return to the Shuangyang City as soon as possible. " With that, Hu Er gave the order to the crowd.
"Young Master Nangong, would you like to follow me back to the Shuangyang City for a look?" Hu Xueman saw that Hu Er was starting to get serious. Playing with her hair, she looked at Nangong Shi and said.
"It's my honor!"
