Chapter 391 The Truth (1/2)

Chapter 391 The truth

Just as Xiao Ying was thinking, Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu also rushed to the secret room.

"Captain! Me."

Before Xiao Lei finished speaking, Xiao Ying raised her hand to interrupt him, looked at Xiao Lei and asked in a deep voice.

"How many souls have been collected?"

Xiao Lei was stunned for a moment, then took out the black token and presented it in front of Xiao Ying.

"A total of thirty million souls are here."

"thirty million"

Xiao Ying frowned slightly, obviously not satisfied with this number.

However, it has been less than two years since Xiao Lei left the Xiao clan to find Xiao Ling, and it has not even been two years since he came back. It is already very good to be able to collect so many souls.

Of course, if Xiao Lei and Xiao Ling really want to make a bigger noise, they can indeed collect more, but that will inevitably attract the attention of the other seven clans. With the current combat power of the Xiao clan, if they are defeated by the other seven clans, After finding out what happened in the clan over the years, the Xiao clan would not be able to stop them if they came to attack.

"It's not bad, at least the minimum requirements have been met."

Xiao Ying said lightly, and Xiao Lei then spoke.

"Then Captain, what should we do next?"

"Don't use this title anymore. It's meaningless to act hypocritically now." Xiao Ying's words made Xiao Lei pause, and then he looked at Xiao Yu behind Xiao Lei, "The person behind you is so direct without even thinking about it. It’s a showdown with me. It’s really hard for him to stay around Xiao Wuyun for so long despite his resentment towards Xiao Wuyun.”

"Forehead"

Xiao Lei's expression froze, and he turned slightly to look at Xiao Yu, who also had an embarrassed expression.

Indeed, I really didn’t think too much about what I said to Xiao Ying before, and I didn’t think about what might happen after the showdown. If Xiao Yu was just a little weaker, Xiao Ying would probably find a way to silence him after the showdown. .

"Since you already know that I am not Xiao Shengyi, you have almost guessed my identity, right?"

".Xiao Wuyun's daughter, Xiao Ying, right?"

Xiao Lei said in a solemn voice, and Xiao Ying frowned slightly.

"It seems that compared to Xiao Yu, your brain is much easier to use."

Immediately, under the gazes of Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu, Xiao Ying gradually changed back to her original appearance and figure, staring closely at Xiao Lei.

"I did steal Xiao Shengyi's body. In order to perfectly simulate his aura, the mysterious person I mentioned earlier does not exist, or it could be me." Xiao Ying slowly stood up and whispered: "Now you We have determined that I am not Xiao Shengyi, do you still have any plans to join forces? "

When Xiao Ying said this, her heart clenched tightly.

She needs to be calm now.

Since Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu have already become suspicious of her, continuing to conceal her will only make them more wary of her.

It would be better to reveal your identity directly, so as not to mess up the next thing because of the two of them's defense against themselves.

Although she and Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu only joined forces because they had the same purpose, they still needed the most basic trust, even if this trust had little value, it still had to exist.

If you can make a little, make a little.

Of course, it was not that Xiao Ying had not considered the possibility of Xiao Lei and Xiao Yu falling out, so she had made plans to run away in advance, and then slowly find opportunities to trick the two of them to death.

Xiao Lei stared at Xiao Ying for a long time, and finally raised the corner of his mouth and sneered.

"Since you can stand up and confess, it proves that you have prepared the back-up plan for us to fall out with you, right?"

If all the previous turmoil in the clan were caused by Xiao Ying, it would be enough to prove how meticulous and logical Xiao Ying is, and he would definitely try to avoid things that would put himself in danger.

In fact, this is indeed the case. The most basic concept of Xiao Ying's previous plans was not to let himself fall into danger.

Only half a year ago, she was exposed as a murderer in front of the Xiao Clan Holy Guard, and was finally caught by Xiao Wuyun. This was the only plan that Xiao Ying risked death, risking her own life to stop the Xiao Clan Saint. Wei was killed by Xiao Wuyun with excuses.

"In this case, if cooperation continues, what do we need to do?"

Xiao Lei asked in a deep voice, which meant that this false cooperative relationship could continue, and Xiao Ying felt relieved in his heart.

Although he had already prepared a backup plan, this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If he just let it go, it would be long before he could deal with Xiao Wuyun again.

Immediately, a scroll appeared in Xiao Ying's hand and she waved it to Xiao Lei.

"This is a composite formation. You order the Holy Guards of the Xiao Clan and the people of the Xiao Clan to arrange it secretly and complete it as soon as possible. When it is almost completed, call Xiao Ling back." Xiao Ying said, looking at where Xiao Wuyun and Xiao Qingmo were fighting. direction, slightly narrowing his eyes, "Although it is impossible for Xiao Qingmo to defeat Xiao Wuyun, he is still a nine-star fighting saint. He can definitely cause damage to Xiao Wuyun. It is not that easy to completely recover from the injury at Xiao Wuyun's level. He must take advantage of the opportunity. This opportunity will destroy him."

Looking at the scroll in his hand, Xiao Lei frowned slightly.

"It's okay to ask the Xiao Clan's holy guards to help. I'm afraid it's a little difficult to ask the Xiao Clan's people to help, right?"

The Holy Guards of the Xiao Clan have been grudged against Xiao Wuyun for a long time, and it is not difficult to incite them. How can the Xiao Clan people not be so simple.

However, before Xiao Ying could speak, Xiao Yu explained behind her.

"In the past six months, the Xiao clan and the Xiao clan's holy guards have had a very harmonious relationship, and the things Xiao Wuyun had done have also spread in the form of rumors, causing many Xiao clan members to lose trust in Xiao Wuyun." Xiao Yu said, looking at Xiao Ying, "And this was all caused by her, using some extraordinary means."

Xiao Yu's eyes were very complicated. According to the most basic reasoning, Xiao Ying did a lot of things that made the Xiao clan and the Xiao clan's holy guards angry, but he had to admit that it was because of this series of things she did that the Xiao clan and the Xiao clan's holy guards, who should have been in opposition, reconciled and stood on the same front.

After hearing this, Xiao Lei couldn't help but fall into silence, staring at Xiao Ying closely.

After a long time, he nodded lightly.

"Okay, it just so happens that Xiao Wuyun ordered me to search for your whereabouts from house to house these days. If the Xiao clan members are really like this now, it will be much easier to do things."

"After starting to draw the formation, tell everyone not to approach the clan leader's mansion, and send people to guard the surrounding area of ​​the clan leader's mansion. Once someone goes to the clan leader's mansion, no matter what his purpose is, he will be killed immediately, and Xiao Wuyun must not be aware of it."

Xiao Ying's temperament was extremely sinister. Whether it was the Xiao clan's holy guards or the Xiao clan members, they were indeed generally very resentful of Xiao Wuyun.

But the collective can never lock on an individual, and there will always be some regular meetings to tip off Xiao Wuyun.

Whether they are loyal to Xiao Wuyun, the clan leader, or they think that they can get rich benefits after informing Xiao Wuyun, no matter what the purpose of those who tipped off is, the result will completely destroy their plans.

Xiao Lei naturally knows this well.

"Got it, I'll arrange it right now."

After saying that, Xiao Lei called Xiao Yu to leave, and just as he was about to step out of the secret room, Xiao Lei suddenly stopped, turned his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Ying.

"Are you doing all this for your mother, to avenge Xiao Wuyun?"

"."

Hearing Xiao Lei's question, Xiao Ying's eyes shrank, and then his expression became indifferent, and he did not answer.

And in Xiao Lei's eyes, this was just a tacit agreement.

Xiao Lei seemed to understand in his heart, and turned back and left the secret room with Xiao Yu.

Watching the door of the secret room slowly close, Xiao Ying's vision fell into darkness again, and what was revealed in his eyes was the imperceptible confusion.

For the mother, to avenge Xiao Wuyun?

Indeed, there was part of this reason.

But Xiao Ying knew that he was not just like this, not just like this.

As for what he was pursuing, even Xiao Ying himself couldn't figure it out now.

Just when Xiao Ying was about to fall into deep thought, the two fighting spirits that erupted in the distance finally stopped, and Xiao Ying frowned and looked in that direction.

"Is it finally over?"

There is no need to guess the result, it must end with Xiao Qingmo's defeat.

The gap between the early stage of Nine Star Dou Sheng and the peak of the late stage of Nine Star Dou Sheng is still too big, and there is no chance of winning.

But after all, they are both Nine Star Dou Sheng. If Xiao Qingmo really wants to run, Xiao Wuyun can't stop him or catch up.

As for where Xiao Qingmo returned after running away, Xiao Ying also had a guess in his heart.

"Come out." Xiao Ying suddenly spoke, and said to the air in a deep voice: "You came here specifically to tell me what happened in the past, right?"

Even though Xiao Ying didn't feel any breath, she still spoke like this.

Sure enough, a figure appeared in front of her the next moment.

It was Xiao Qingmo. At this time, Xiao Qingmo's situation was very tragic. One arm had disappeared, half of his face was broken, and a large piece of flesh and blood was lost on his waist, revealing the white ribs, and even the organs inside the ribs could be seen clearly.

Looking at the man in front of him who had saved him once from Xiao Wuyun, Xiao Ying's eyes had no compassion at all.

Although the Nine-star Dou Sheng is still a long way from the true pinnacle of this continent, he can basically look down on 99% of people. If Xiao Qingmo is determined to escape, Xiao Wuyun can't do anything to him.

However, knowing that Xiao Wuyun will attack him sooner or later, he still stays in the Xiao clan, which must be related to his mother.

Xiao Qingmo looked at Xiao Ying's indifferent eyes, and suddenly spoke after a long time.

"There is a family-inherited technique in Lord Qingge's family. Relying on this technique, before Xiao Wuyun, the patriarchs of the Xiao clan were all from Lord Qingge's family."

"And this technique is what you are practicing now, which can usurp everything from others for your own use."

Xiao Ying's eyes shrank slightly, but he didn't say anything, just listened quietly.

"The clan leader before Xiao Wuyun was the father of Lord Qingge. Although Lord Qingge's bloodline was not superior, it was excellent enough. His father once regarded her as the next clan leader, carefully cultivated her, taught her, and hoped that she would learn the technique."

"Lord Qingge was very willing at first, and worked hard to practice and improve her strength to respond to her father's expectations, but Lord Qingge did not know the existence of the technique at that time."

"Until one day in the future, Lord Qingge's father handed the technique to him and told her the truth about the clan leaders of all generations."

"And the moment he learned the truth, Lord Qingge began to hate his identity and his family. He originally thought that it was the excellent bloodline of the family that made every clan leader a member of his family, but he did not expect that the family's long-lasting status was actually obtained at the expense of many outstanding talents of the same clan."

"Not long after, Lord Qingge's father died in a battle for the ruins. The position of the Xiao clan leader was also vacant for a long time because it could not be decided."

"With the death of the clan leader, Lord Qingge's family has gradually become lonely over time. Lord Qingge has gradually become the same ordinary identity as other Xiao clan members, and slowly disappeared from the public."

"But Lord Qingge is not dissatisfied with this, but she knows that the damage to the other seven clans is far less severe than that of the Xiao clan. The vacancy in the position of clan leader must be filled as soon as possible in order to deter the other seven clans from taking rash actions, and if she wants to do it in a short time To do this, the only thing Master Qingge can think of is the family technique that disgusts him."

"However, Lord Qingge has never been able to practice that skill ruthlessly. She knows that once she practices that skill, she will do the same thing as the previous family heads, sacrificing countless outstanding members of her clan. Improve your own strength.”

"Lord Qingge is afraid. She is afraid that she cannot bear such a big responsibility, and she cannot bear the condemnation of her own conscience."

"So she ran away and she passed that responsibility on to another person."

"And that person is Xiao Wuyun."

"Xiao Wuyun was just a helpless ordinary child in the Xiao clan at that time, and even the blood in his body was of the lowest quality. Lord Qingge believed that living in that environment, he would be able to understand the people of the Xiao clan at the bottom , as long as they have enough deterrence, they will not kill their fellow tribesmen.”

"So Master Qingge chose him and spent a long time with him before handing him over to Xiao Wuyun. Finally, he felt that he had seen through Xiao Wuyun's character and thought that he could entrust the Xiao clan to him, so he I handed over my bloodline and the technique to him."

"However, Master Qingge only gave him a part of it at that time. He could only absorb blood. The absorbed blood could not be completely refined. Moreover, if excellent blood is not absorbed for a long time, the blood in the body will gradually fade away."

"Lord Qingge's original intention is to protect Xiao Wuyun. She hopes that Xiao Wuyun can progress step by step. If he improves too quickly, he will easily be suspected. Lord Qingge knows very well that if this technique is known to others, it will definitely It will lead to an irreparable fate.”

"Xiao Wuyun didn't know this. He followed Lord Qingge's instructions step by step, slowly improving his strength. You were also born during this period. After so many years of companionship, Lord Qingge also felt that it was time. I will hand over all the skills to Xiao Wuyun.”

"However, Lady Qing Ge never expected that Xiao Wuyun, whom she chose to avoid the same thing as her ancestors, would end up doing something even more inhumane than her ancestors."

"After breaking through Douzun, Xiao Wuyun's behavior of absorbing blood became more and more unrestrained. In order to absorb blood and improve his strength, he used all kinds of conspiracies and killed countless people of the Xiao clan, and finally became the supreme leader of the Xiao clan. The strong man has ascended to the position of clan leader."

"It was also at this time that Master Qing Ge realized that he had trusted the wrong person."

"After becoming the clan leader, Xiao Wuyun once felt that his bloodline was fading, and finally discovered that his skills were actually incomplete, and asked Lord Qingge for the complete skills several times."

"But how could she give it to her after she has seen Xiao Wuyun's true face?"

"After that, Xiao Wuyun used all kinds of means to obtain the complete skill, be gentle, promise, and repeatedly swore that as long as his bloodline does not fade, he will never hurt his tribe again."

"But Lord Qingge, who has understood Xiao Wuyun's true nature, doesn't believe him at all, and will not hand over the complete technique no matter what."

"Xiao Wuyun could bear it at first, but as his bloodline faded, his patience was worn away bit by bit."

"Until the end, I completely fell out with Master Qingge. When you were twelve years old, I absorbed all the blood in your body. After that, you and Master Qingge were kicked out of the patriarch's mansion."

"Because Lord Qingge was also an accomplice in the things Xiao Wuyun did, so she felt that she had no face to complain. Moreover, if the Xiao clan knew the truth of the matter, something might not happen to the powerful Xiao Wuyun, but he has been reduced to a You loser will definitely be killed by the angry Xiao people, so she can only endure it silently. "

"The reason why you didn't die after your bloodline was absorbed is because Xiao Wuyun wanted to take advantage of your miserable situation to force Xiao Qingge to submit and hand over the complete technique. However, he didn't expect that Master Qingge would not compromise until his death."

"The reason why you were taken away by the Xiao clan's holy guards that year was because Lord Qingge told Xiao Wuyun before he was killed that the real skill is in your body and can only be revealed after you break through to a certain level."

"She knows that with Xiao Wuyun's desire for martial arts, he will definitely not kill you. Instead, he will try every means to improve your strength, at least giving you a chance to rise. The rest will all depend on your own strength. good fortune."

"This is what has happened so far."

After listening to Xiao Qingmo's words, Xiao Ying's mind exploded, her eyes were full of enlightenment, and many doubts in her heart were finally solved.

Why did Xiao Qingge keep saying sorry to himself, why was Xiao Wuyun's technique in Xiao Qingge's place, why Xiao Wuyun knew that the technique was in his mind, and why Xiao Wuyun tried every means to get that technique.

But there is another problem, and Xiao Ying still has not been explained.

Xiao Ying looked at Xiao Qingmo in front of her and asked in a deep voice.

"Who are you? Why do you know these things? Why did you save me that day?"

For so many years, there has been no news of related events in the Xiao clan, proving that the truth has long been buried. Why does Xiao Qingmo know it so clearly?

Xiao Qingmo looked at Xiao Ying and answered slowly.

"I am the younger brother of Lord Qingge."

Brother? !

Xiao Ying's expression froze, and then Xiao Qingmo smiled softly.

"But I say younger brother, but in fact I am the offspring of a servant in Lord Qingge's clan. Because my parents died in an accident, Lord Qingge took me in as his brother."

Die in an accident?

Xiao Ying raised her eyebrows. This sounded strange, especially in her mother's family.

And under normal circumstances, after her servant died in an accident, would the eldest lady specifically adopt the offspring of the servant?

Could it be.

Immediately, a guess emerged in Xiao Ying's mind. At this time, Xiao Qingmo saw her expression and spoke again.

"You're right. I only found out about it later." Xiao Qingmo said calmly, "My parents died after being absorbed by Lord Qingge's father. Lord Qingge accepted me as her brother because she felt guilty. She also gave me a new name."

"I had guessed about this kind of thing a long time ago."

Hearing Xiao Qingmo's words, Xiao Ying looked at him with a complicated expression.

"Don't you hate your mother?"

"When I first found out, I did hate her." Xiao Qingmo paused, then said, "But I soon calmed down. After so many years of getting along with Lord Qingge, I thoroughly understood that Lord Qingge and her father are not the same kind of people at all. They are very different."

"I watched her die in Xiao Wuyun's hands, but I didn't save her. I guess I've gotten rid of my resentment."

Xiao Qingmo smiled bitterly, his eyes full of pity.

"Ms. Qingge's character shouldn't have been born in the Xiao clan, let alone become her father's daughter."

Looking at Xiao Qingmo's sincere eyes that pitied Xiao Qingge, Xiao Ying was silent for a long time and asked in a serious tone.

"Then what are you doing here now? If you want to leave the Xiao clan, Xiao Wuyun can't stop you, right?"

"And why did you save me that day?"

Hearing Xiao Ying's question, Xiao Qingmo looked up at the burning lights on the wall, his eyes narrowed slightly.

"Indeed, if I want to leave, Xiao Wuyun will stop me, and I have no attachment to the Xiao clan, so I should leave directly."

Xiao Qingmo slowly lowered his head and stared at Xiao Ying closely.

"But when I think of the person that Mr. Qingge trusted so much, but he finally betrayed him completely, I can't persuade myself to leave."

"At least, I want to do one last thing for Mr. Qingge."

Xiao Qingmo bent his knees slightly, knelt in front of Xiao Ying without any defense, and said in a deep voice.

"Go ahead, Xiao Ying."

"Everything I have was given by Lady Qingge."

"Now, it's time to give it back to her."

Xiao Qingmo's expression was so resolute, and he had no regrets.
