24. Chapter 24: Prison Bead
Chapter 24: Prison Bead
”How can we trust rumors from the market?” Chang Tianxiong said with a smile, “Our Chang family’s ancestors did get some cultivation methods, but he was also a wealthy family, how could he be a villager in the mountains?”
”But I heard that your Chang family’s ancestors not only got some cultivation methods,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.
Chang Tianxiong’s hand, which was originally holding a wine glass, suddenly paused. He smiled and said, “Rumors are bound to become more and more mysterious as they spread, and they can’t be taken seriously.”
”I heard that your Chang family’s ancestor also got a Dzi bead,” Xu Zimo said with a smile, “Since I can say this, I must be sure of it.”
Hearing Xu Zimo’s words, Chang Tianxiong’s thoughts became clear in an instant.
Xu Zimo came for the Dzi bead, but the Dzi bead was a thing of hundreds of years ago.
Except for the head of each generation of the Chang family, no one would know about it. How did Xu Zimo know about it?
Their Chang family’s ancestors have always left ancestral teachings, saying that a man of destiny will come in a few hundred years.
At that time, let their Chang family give the Dzi bead to the man of destiny, and then the whole family will go to him.
This man of destiny will one day ascend to the throne of the Great Emperor, and their Chang family will also shine in this era.
…………
Chang Tianxiong had no idea whether Xu Zimo was the man of destiny, and he had a hunch that Xu Zimo was not the one they were waiting for.
”What is the Dzi bead that Mr. Xu is talking about? I really don’t know,” Chang Tianxiong said, shaking his head.
”Why is the head of the Chang family so stubborn?” Xu Zimo smiled and said, “Although this Dzi bead is good, you have to be alive to get it.
Don’t ruin your Chang family’s foundation of hundreds of years because of an insignificant thing.”
”What does this young master mean? Are you going to destroy our Chang family just because of a randomly fabricated bead?” The elder of the Chang family said, “Our Chang family has always supported the Holy Sect. If we end up with this result because of a false accusation. I
will definitely announce this matter to the world and let everyone comment on what the Holy Sect did.
Or, this matter has nothing to do with the Holy Sect, it’s just your personal plan.”
Xu Zimo heard it clearly. He had no reason to be a teacher, and the Chang family was fearless and wanted to use the name of justice as a shield.
”You have misunderstood. Our Holy Sect governs the thousands of miles of mountains and rivers in the Far West. All of you in the Far West are the people of the Holy Sect.
We can’t even protect you in time, how can we hurt you!” Xu Zimo said with a smile.
”What did Mr. Xu mean by what he said just now?” Chang Tianxiong asked.
”I don’t mean anything, I just don’t know if the head of the Chang family has thought about this situation,” Xu Zimo drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: “Today I came to visit the Chang family, we had a good chat, and then I left the Chang family.
Suddenly at night, a man in black came and wiped out your Chang family, and then took the Dzi beads away.
That matter has nothing to do with my Shengzong. If anyone says that this matter was instigated by me, he should produce evidence, otherwise it is slander.
After a while, I caught the man in black and took the Dzi beads back.
In the end, the Dzi beads will still return to my hands, but the process is a bit tortuous.”
Hearing Xu Zimo’s words, Chang Tianxiong’s face changed slightly. He was not afraid of fake gentlemen or real villains.
But this kind of people who are obviously in power but don’t play by the rules of the game.
This is a threat, a naked threat.
If he doesn’t hand over the Dzi beads today, a man in black will wipe out their Chang family at night.
Chang Tianxiong didn’t expect the other party to say it so blatantly, and you can’t say it was done by the people of Shengzong.
To achieve the goal, he would do anything, even mean and shameless, and he was particularly confident. This was Chang Tianxiong’s impression of Xu Zimo.
…………
”What does Mr. Xu mean?” Chang Tianxiong asked with an embarrassed look.
”It’s okay, thank you for the hospitality of the Lord Chang. I’m full and it’s time to go,” Xu Zimo stood up and said to Feng Buyu: “Brother Feng, go and inform the people in the City Lord’s Mansion that no one is allowed to leave Tianjian City tonight.
Close the city gate and wait until tomorrow morning.”
Seeing Xu Zimo was about to leave, Chang Tianxiong panicked instantly. He stood up and said hurriedly: “Mr. Xu, I suddenly remembered that our Chang family seems to have a round bead, but I don’t know if it is the one you are looking for.
If you need it, I will go and get it for you.”
”Really? Lord Chang, don’t force it, and I can’t take away someone’s love,” Xu Zimo said with a smile.
”No, no, wait, I will go and get it for you,” Chang Tianxiong said and hurriedly walked out.
He was very panicked now. The moment Xu Zimo left, he suddenly felt that a disaster was coming.
Although the ancestral precepts left by the ancestors were very important, he couldn’t let the Chang family be destroyed in his hands.
In this way, he would be the sinner of the entire Chang family.
Not long after Chang Tianxiong left, he came in with a box.
The box looked very old, with a pattern of armor painted on it.
The box was dark black. Chang Tianxiong handed the box to Xu Zimo and said, “Mr. Xu, take a look. Is this the one you want?”
Xu Zimo opened the box, and inside was a dark yellow round bead with countless chaotic and complicated lines engraved on the surface of the bead.
Lin Ruhu looked at the bead and asked curiously, “Why does this bead look so familiar? It seems like I have seen it somewhere before.”
Xu Zimo smiled and put the bead away.
Of course it looks familiar, because the real name of this bead is the Prison Bead.
When Xu Zimo was in the Gravity Tower before, he snatched a Prison Bead from Cui Yuan.
This is the second one.
Xu Zimo nodded and said with a smile: “In that case, thank you, Master Chang.”
”It’s okay, it’s okay,” Chang Tianxiong shook his head quickly and said with a smile: “This bead has been in my Chang family for hundreds of years and no one knows what it is used for.
Now that it has fallen into the hands of the young master, it may shine.”
Then Xu Zimo said goodbye to Chang Tianxiong and left the Chang family with a group of people.
Chang Tianxiong looked at the backs of the people leaving and slapped the table next to him heavily.
With a “bang”, the table broke into pieces, and the teacup on it broke into pieces. Chang Tianxiong’s face was terribly gloomy.
…………
After leaving the Chang family, Xu Zimo was in a good mood. Such things are very important to him, and now they are almost complete.
He said to Hei Shisan: “Before the sun rises tomorrow morning, I don’t want to see the Chang family still exist in this world.”
Hearing Xu Zimo’s words, several people around were shocked.
”Brother Zimo, didn’t the people of the Chang family give you the Dzi beads? Why do you want to wipe out their entire family?” Guan Zhenhai asked hesitantly.
