Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

Chapter 274 The Untamed 26

Wen Chao once again made a fool of himself in front of Jiang Xinxin, but it was obvious that he was now quite shrewd. He did not yell and scream at the first moment. Instead, he led her, Wei Ying, Lan Zhan, Jin Zixuan, Nie Huaisang and several other children from small families close to the Jiang family towards Muxi Mountain in the name of a night hunt.

Jiang Xinxin had seen this happen in Jiang Cheng's memory. Even though Wei Ying, Lan Zhan and Jin Zixuan had secretly taken the antidote to the Jueling Powder to restore their spiritual power, they all pretended that their spiritual power had not yet recovered. However, Jiang Xinxin had provoked Wen Chao many times along the way, but Wen Chao had endured it all.

This made Wei Ying, Lan Zhan and Jin Zixuan very uneasy, so they discussed letting Nie Huaisang find an excuse to fall behind, and then go to Wen Qing or Wen Ning for help.

Nie Huaisang pretended to be fainted by the sun without saying a word, but Wen Chao impatiently had him dragged away and leaked the news that Nie Huaisang's brother Nie Mingjue had been arrested, making everyone hate the Wen family's tyranny even more.

First, the Cloud Recesses was burned down, and then the Unclean World was breached. The young men who were traveling with Wen Chao were secretly on guard, and they planned to find a chance to capture Wen Chao and torture him, as a way of teaching the Wen family a lesson.

When Jiang Xinxin heard their conspiracy, she just thought they were full of youthful vigor. But actually, if she thought about it, it was not completely impossible to keep Wen Chao. After all, she had thought about using the Slaughtering Black Tortoise in Muxi Mountain to capture Wen Chao and Wen Zhuliu in one fell swoop.

The Wen family is indeed powerful. The news of the massacre of Xuanwu has disappeared for hundreds of years, but it was finally found out by people from the Wen family. Now it is being used by Wen Chao to teach Jiang Xinxin and her group a lesson.

As they got closer and closer to the cave where Tu Lun Xuan Wu was hiding, Wen Chao's malice became more and more obvious, to the point where he could not even hide it. He simply ordered his lackeys to drive Jiang Xinxin and her group into the cave like they were driving prisoners. When they saw the pool where Tu Lun Xuan Wu was living, he laughed out loud.

"Everyone, please thank me in the future. Not everyone is lucky enough to see this Slaughtering Black Tortoise!"

Everyone's faces changed at the same time. The pool was below, and there was only a ten-foot-wide opening above that allowed them to see the sky. If someone blocked the hole above, it would be difficult for them to escape.

Wen Chao's ill will towards Jiang Xinxin is very obvious, but isn't Jiang Xinxin the same towards Wen Chao?

She wanted to take the opportunity to keep Wen Chao because she was sure that the Lan and Nie families had been defeated by the Wen family. Anyway, after they returned, the Jiang family would also face the enemies of the Wen family. It would be better to kill Wen Chao as a sacrifice.

Wen Chao is not worth mentioning, but Wen Zhuliu is not a simple person. He found out that Jiang Xinxin was unkind to Wen Chao, and knew that he could not persuade Wen Chao, so he simply abandoned the guards who followed him and took Wen Chao away, leaving the others behind to block the swords with Wen Chao and himself.

Not to mention, this prompt action really allowed him to escape with Wen Chao, because when Jiang Xinxin and the others attacked Wen's lackeys in the cave, the smell of blood directly attracted the Slaughtering Black Tortoise who was sleeping under the water.

Although this thing was suppressed here, it had actually been raised for many years. In the past ten years or so, it was deliberately fed with human lives by the Wen family. It became more and more evil and cruel. As soon as it opened its mouth, it devoured the four people nearby. Fortunately, they were all Wen Chao's lackeys, so although their deaths were miserable, no one felt sorry for them.

After confirming that Wen Chao had been taken away by Wen Zhuliu, and that the cave entrance above was blocked by a huge rock, Jiang Xinxin quickly teamed up with Wei Ying, Lan Zhan and Jin Zixuan to subdue all the remaining members of the Wen family. They also distributed the antidote for Jueling Powder to others, and then prepared to think of a way to lure out the Slaughtering Black Tortoise again and destroy it.

Jin Zixuan knew Jiang Xinxin's ability, but it was not the time to fully reveal her strength, so he spoke to the others first: "It is not realistic for us to get out the way we came in, but I see that the water in the pool is running water, so there must be an exit under the water. Now we can only wait until Tu Lu Xuan Wu falls asleep, and then send someone down to check the way out."

Wei Ying immediately responded, “Our Jiang Clan’s disciples are very good at swimming. I will go down to explore the way first. Now you guys quickly decide who can swim and who can’t. You must be honest, after all, there is the Slaughtering Black Tortoise under the water.”

The people who had just recovered a little spiritual power but lost their daily swords were still afraid of the Slaughtering Black Tortoise who had just shown off his skills. However, they were all from aristocratic families and had the necessary qualities. They knew that they could not cause trouble at this time, so after asking around, they found that only five people could not swim.

Wei Ying went into the water to investigate and indeed found a way out under the water. He also confirmed that the Slaughtering Black Tortoise was sleeping after having just eaten a person.

Jiang Xinxin immediately arranged: "Jin Zixuan, you and Lan Zhan will lead the way, Ah Xian, you and I will finish the way, those who can't swim can let those who can swim lead them, and we don't have to panic, just go out in an orderly manner."

Jiang Xinxin was calm enough, Wei Ying was soaked but had a smile on his face, Jin Zixuan and Lan Zhan didn't seem to be in a hurry, so slowly the others calmed down as well.

Although the others went into the water with great effort, Tu Lu Xuan Wu had just eaten, so they quickly swam towards the passage. Lan Zhan and Jin Zixuan took care of the others, while Jiang Xinxin took Wei Ying to keep an eye on Tu Lu Xuan Wu's movements, ready to cover their retreat.

In just an incense stick of time, everyone else successfully got out through the waterway. Lan Zhan was just about to return to let Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying go together, but he didn't expect that one of the Wen family's lackeys who had been subdued before had regained the ability to move, and actually dripped blood into the pool immediately, waking up the Slaughtering Xuanwu again.

The Slaughtering Black Tortoise had already developed intelligence. When it saw someone standing at the edge of the waterway, it realized that someone was trying to escape through there. It immediately became furious and slapped Jiang Xinxin and Wei Ying with its claws.

If the two of them were preparing to escape, they would certainly not be afraid of the Slaughtering Black Tortoise, but Jiang Xinxin had made up her mind to kill it early on, so she and Wei Ying dodged the claw on the left and right, but they did not expect Lan Zhan to suddenly return. Even though he dodged quickly, he was scratched on the leg by the Slaughtering Black Tortoise and was injured again.

After getting on shore, Jiang Xinxin saw the Wen family members showing some fear on their faces and kicked them into the water to feed the Xuanwu. This brutal action made the others' scalps numb. They dared not make any moves and finally calmed down.

Although the Slaughtering Black Tortoise itself was non-toxic, it had cruelly devoured many creatures. There was also an iron sword made of Yin Iron to suppress it. The combined Yin energy, resentment, and demonic energy in it was something that ordinary cultivators could not withstand. Even though Lan Zhan had a decent level of cultivation, he immediately felt the cold air enter his body and began to tremble unconsciously.
