Longevity Begins with the Seven Injuries Fist-Chapter 388 - 228: Central Plains in Turmoil!

If the dragon’s flesh and blood were consumed by that person, then kill them to obtain the blood.

However, upon hearing about that person’s strength, he hesitated to send out the remaining Divine Realm experts.

After all, he could no longer afford to lose another Divine Realm expert.

If he lost this Divine Realm expert, the Nineteen Prince or Thirty Prince could mobilize their martial artists to surround and kill him.

While Xiao Feng was worrying, suddenly, an idea popped into his head.

He immediately instructed a subordinate, "Send some people to spread this news! Especially let the Nineteen and Thirty know!"

"Then, send someone to investigate the person wearing the ghost mask secretly and keep an eye on the movements of the Nineteen and Thirty."

"Yes." The subordinate listened, then immediately withdrew.

Xiao Feng turned around with his hands behind his back and walked back to the practice garden.

As he walked, he contemplated in his mind.

He wanted to lure the Nineteen Prince and Thirty Prince to send out their Divine Realm martial artists to find that person with the ghost mask.

Firstly, if that person with the ghost mask were to kill all the Nineteen Prince and Thirty Prince’s men.

Then, once the Nineteen Prince and Thirty Prince lost their Divine Realm martial artists, their influence in the Imperial City would weaken.

In this way, he would once again stand on the same level as them.

Secondly, if the Nineteen Prince and Thirty Prince’s men actually caught that person with the ghost mask.

He could then stage an interceptive assassination.

As Xiao Feng thought, a smile appeared on his lips as he stepped into the garden.

...

Central Plains, Murong Mansion.

At its grand entrance, a huge footprint suddenly appeared.

Then, with a bang, the gate along with the adjacent wall burst apart.

Wood chips and dust filled the air here.

An elderly man with a straight posture and dignified appearance, leading about ten robust martial artists, stormed into the Murong Mansion with great momentum.

This elder is Ou Zhenqiong, the patriarch of the Ou Family, one of the noble families of the Central Plains.

Members of the Ou Family, having fled back from the sea, brought back news from the sea to the family.

The Ou Family’s influence is adjacent to the Murong Family’s influence.

Ever since Emperor Jing of Liang closed himself in the ninth year, these two families have been openly and covertly fighting.

The Murong Family had the Crown Prince as their backing.

While the Ou Family also found Nineteen Prince as their backing.

Except for the Imperial Family Xiao Family, there are only two Divine Realm martial artists in the other noble families.

With the death of Murong Ling, the Murong Family’s power plummeted.

Upon hearing the news of Murong Ling’s death, Ou Zhenqiong immediately summoned the elite members of the family, used the Celestial Deformed Footlight Technique, and arrived here.

Intending to seize the Murong Family’s territory and snatch their cultivation resources.

"Ou Zhenqiong, what do you intend to do?"

The Murong Family’s patriarch, Murong Tong, heard the commotion and rushed out, seeing the mansion gate shattered, shouted angrily.

"Heh heh." Ou Zhenqiong looked at Murong Tong and laughed lightly:

"Old Murong dog, your pride and joy, your eldest son, is already dead!"

Murong Tong, upon hearing this news, his pupils trembled violently.

Although some members of the Murong Family also escaped back from the sea.

However, the Ou Family’s Celestial Deformed Footlight Technique is exceptional.

Ou Family members returned from the sea, conveyed the news to the clan, and after Ou Zhenqiong brought people here, the Murong Family’s members had not yet returned.

Taking advantage of Murong Tong’s shock and distraction, Ou Zhenqiong had already leaped into the air, stomping down fiercely towards Murong Tong!

In an instant, a gigantic Foot Gang emitting green light formed, carrying the meaning of an overwhelming technique, like a collapsing mountain, crashing down towards Murong Tong.

Ou Zhenqiong’s son, Ou Shishuang, another Divine Realm martial artist of the Ou Family.

Used Lightweight Skill, skimming in an arc, employing Celestial Deformed Foot, suddenly kicking towards Murong Tong’s back!

At the same time, other martial artists of the Ou Family moved, killing the martial artists of the Murong Family who rushed out.

The next moment, the Murong Mansion turned into a scene of carnage.

Sounds of Qi force clashing and screams echoed endlessly.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the green bricks, flowing like streams.

...

The slaughter only lasted as long as an incense burned.

All of the Murong Family’s offspring in the mansion were killed by the Celestial Deformed Foot.

The Murong Mansion became a complete ruin.

Most of the buildings were destroyed, and many mud walls turned to dust, scattered all over, mingled with blood and corpses.

There were large and small footprints in the Murong Mansion, all left by the Celestial Deformed Foot.

Among them, the most striking were the two gigantic footprints spanning a distance of twelve feet.

Beside the footprints was a huge depression, covered with numerous cracks.

These two large footprints were left by Ou Zhenqiong’s Celestial Deformed Foot technique.

Murong Family’s patriarch, Murong Tong, at the center of one of the footprints, had become a mass of flesh.

There were corpses scattered all over the Murong Mansion, with blood gathering into streams and flowing to the drainage holes of the mansion.

Ou Zhenqiong looked at the bodies scattered all over and thought, another of the Nine Great Noble Families of the Central Plains is gone.

Among the noble families of the Central Plains, the strongest is undoubtedly the Imperial Family Xiao Family.

The other families have always been secretly fighting.

After many years of Emperor Jing of Liang being sequestered, the secret fighting turned into open struggles.

The Lin Family annihilated the Wu Family, seizing their territory and cultivation resources, becoming the top family under the Xiao Family.

And their Ou Family, after swallowing the Murong Family’s territory and cultivation resources, can finally stand alongside the Lin Family.

"When did the Liang Country Martial Arts produce such a formidable Divine Realm expert?"

After wiping out the Murong Family, Ou Zhenqiong had leisure to ponder over the events at sea.

After asking this, no one answered for a moment.

"Send messages to the branches of Liang Kingdom, asking them to keep an eye on this mysterious expert, and report immediately if there is any information!"

After pondering for a while, Ou Zhenqiong issued an order to a disciple of the Ou Family.

Firstly, he wanted to find this expert and eliminate him early.

Secondly, he wanted to obtain the flesh and essence of the Ancient Giant Dragon.

...

Liang Kingdom, Imperial Palace.

An old eunuch dressed in a purple robe, wearing a high crown, with a white face and no beard, pinched an orchid finger, using the lid of a tea cup to stir the tea leaves, quietly listening to a subordinate’s report.

This old eunuch is Lian Jiuying, the personal eunuch of Emperor Jing of Liang.

Also the Chief Eunuch of the Imperial Palace.

Currently, with Emperor Jing of Liang in seclusion, only he claimed to have seen Emperor Jing of Liang in the past ten-odd years.

Even the prince’s consorts dared not offend this eunuch.

After listening to his subordinate’s report, his white eyebrows furrowed as he muttered:

"When did such an expert appear in Liang Kingdom?"

Suddenly, he remembered a recent report from an Alchemy Daoist of the True Profound Sect.

While they were performing alchemy at the Great Celestial Fire Mountain, a mysterious person killed Earth Evil Guard Liu Zhanhuo.

At the time, he was quite angry about it and sent people to search for the person, but they still have no results until now.

"Could it be him?"

Lian Jiuying’s phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

Thinking, he suddenly put down the tea cup, stood up, and said sharply, "Prepare my attire, I’m going out of the palace!"

He thought that with this person’s strength, he had to intervene personally.

"My lord... if you leave the palace, what should we do if the Emperor summons you?"

Hearing Lian Jiuying’s words, a young eunuch standing by was slightly stunned and asked.

"If the Emperor summons me, tell him I had a mishap while practicing and am bedridden, then you serve the Emperor," Lian Jiuying replied sharply.

He said so, but was thinking in his heart that the Emperor had been silent for over a decade.

Not to mention being away for a while, even if he left the palace for a year or two, the Emperor would not summon him.

In fact, he hadn’t seen Emperor Jing of Liang at all in the past decade, nor had he spoken a word.

Claiming he had seen the Emperor was entirely to pull the tiger skin, leveraging Emperor Jing’s power to gather cultivation resources for himself.

Over the years, his own power increased significantly, and his subordinates’ influence became increasingly powerful.

Even the Celestial Spirit Pavilion and Earth Evil Guard were almost entirely infiltrated by him.

If he took out his power and engaged in a fight with the forces of those three Crown Princes, it was hard to say who would win or lose.

The young eunuch nodded repeatedly after listening.

Then, a group of palace maids came, bringing casual clothes to dress Lian Jiuying.
