Dream Picking Records

"It is said that a long time ago, a saint studied the zither for months, but was furious because he still could not play it. He used his holy weapon to hack at it but to no avail. The zither eventually fell into the hands of a patriarch of the Lingxian Pavilion. Unfortunately, she was unable to unlock the secret of the zither until her death. She was so upset that she made a rule - whoever plays the Tianyin zither can marry the current saint of the Lingxian Pavilion."

"No, no, I heard that the original owner of the guqin was unable to grow old with the person he loved, so he left behind a trace of obsession..."

While everyone was arguing, the big hand opened and the guqin remained intact.

"Humph!"

Seeing that he could do nothing with the guqin, Xiao Sheng became angry and turned his big hand to grab the fairy Siqin who was not far away.

Siqin waved her jade hand lightly, and a ray of colorful light collided with it. There was no brilliant explosion, and the big hand melted silently. The surprise attack was fruitless, and Xiao Sheng turned around and left. In terms of hard power, he was not sure that he could take down the contemporary saint of Lingxian Pavilion. It was precisely because Siqin was the most talented among the saints of all generations, and she was also placed with endless expectations, so she was allowed to carry the guqin with her when traveling.

As Xiao Sheng left, Biluo Lake returned to tranquility again. Siqin raised her jade hand to take back the guqin, and left side by side with Youyue in everyone's gaze.

"Bang."

There was a sound of wood being pulled apart from the broken animal cart. It was Shi Shi who woke up. He propped himself up and sat down, but he was still not fully awake and kept shaking his head.

"His!"

Shi Shi was seriously injured and had not yet recovered. Today's experience was full of twists and turns and he was constantly hurt. Now he was in pain all over. He seemed to remember something, his neck shrank, and he looked around cautiously, and found that the two fairies and Xiao Sheng were nowhere to be seen. After a sigh of relief, he took out medicine from the storage ring to heal his injuries.

"Hmm? Where are my two servants?"

Realizing that something was missing, he fixed his eyes on a person nearby.

"You, the one wearing colorful clothes, where is my servant?"

The fancy-dressed young man almost laughed out loud when he saw that it was Shi Shi who called him. Compared with the arrogant and domineering Shi Shi when he first arrived, he was now in tatters, with black eyes, and he was missing a pair of front teeth, and his speech was lisp, which was really hilarious.

He immediately smiled to cover it up. "Reporting to the young president, your two guards were killed by the mysterious man named Xiao Sheng."

"Mr. Xiao?"

Hearing this name, Shi Shi thought for a while, then became shocked and frightened.

"Could it be the young master of Xuanyin Sect?"

Lingxian Pavilion, Xuanyin Sect, and Xingyue Sect are all independent sects in the northern region of Daxia, and are not under the control of Daxia. Although Liuyun Chamber of Commerce is doing well in this area, many small city owners have to look at his face. But the above three behemoths are definitely not something they can afford to provoke. Thinking of this, Shi Shi secretly felt lucky that he did not announce his family background, otherwise, after provoking the other party's anger, even his godfather could not protect him.

It's a pity that no one takes them seriously at all.

Shi Shi forced himself to stand up, shook off the dust, and flew towards the Chamber of Commerce.

"You stay here first, I'll be back soon."

Feng Tingyun knew what he was going to do and nodded in understanding.

The other party wanted to kill him, but Wang Xiao would not miss the opportunity for revenge and followed him quietly.

Without a servant to drive the beast cart, Shi Shi flew very slowly along the way. Concentrating on healing his wounds, he did not notice a burly man in front of him until he got closer. The man was smiling at him in a simple and honest way.

"It's no use apologizing. Even the gods can't protect you when the fairy is gone!" His previous experiences began to attack him. Pain came from his dark blue eyes, and he roared with air leaking out of his mouth.

Wang Xiao was stunned. Shi Shi actually thought he came to apologize. He kept smiling, his facial muscles moving, and he turned back into his overlord appearance.

"It's you!"

Shi Shi was furious. His anger aggravated his injuries and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"You're so lucky. Those three losers didn't catch you, so you ended up here." Shi Shi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and laughed again. "That's good. I can take revenge myself. Don't think you're invincible just because you beat me in the duel arena. Let me show you my true strength!"

Apparently they had not received the news that the three people they had sent out had died. Shi Shi's aura was completely released. Due to the side effects of taking the Blood Qi Pill, his realm dropped to the late fourth level.

Wang Xiao understood that the other party didn't know what happened last night, so he spoke to disturb his mind.

"Don't you know that I have killed those three people?"

"Just you? There's no point trying to scare me!"

Shi Shi sneered on the surface, but was shocked in his heart. He knew that the old man surnamed Chen was carrying a treasure-hunting compass, which could be used to track the movements of the person carrying the Mingyuan Divine Fruit. There was no reason for him to let the other party escape. However, the other party's aura was clearly only at the second level of Guiyuan, and Old Chen was at the fifth level of Guiyuan. How could he be killed by the other party?

"It must be that the treasure with hidden aura escaped from him. That must be it."

Shi Shi found a suitable answer for himself and used all his strength to perform the Great Stele-Breaking Technique. Without any restraints, he was several times stronger than he had been that night, and his confidence also increased exponentially.

"Die!"

Wang Xiao said nothing, stretched out his right palm and bent it into a claw. A dragon roar sounded from his body, and the green dragon claw pierced through Shi Shi's attack, grabbed his neck and lifted him up.

Shi Shi was suspended in the air, his limbs struggling constantly, his eyes filled with fear. He was obviously much stronger than last night, how could he be defeated by the opponent in one move? His face was red and his veins were bulging due to his breathing obstruction, but the opponent's palm was like a magic weapon, firmly fixing him. All resistance was in vain, and the magic was dissolved by the opponent just as it was about to take shape.

"You know this one, right?"

Wang Xiao took out his trophy - a treasure-hunting compass, and placed it in front of him. Shi Shi couldn't believe it and struggled even more violently. He wanted to beg for mercy but his throat could only make "ho ho" sounds.

Wang Xiao put away the compass and sighed, "You said how big our hatred is, it's just a Mingyuan Divine Fruit, and Liuyun Chamber of Commerce doesn't lack it at all."

As the spiritual energy in his palms pulsed, Shi Shi fell silent. The flames covered his entire body, and soon he was burned to ashes. His soul also dissipated, leaving only a ring in Wang Xiao's hand.

He removed Shi Shi's spiritual mark and was about to inspect the spoils when he suddenly tensed up and felt a thorn in his back. He sensed a dangerous aura and threw the ring away. A figure flew out of the ring. It was the president of Liuyun Chamber of Commerce. He searched around and found only a trace of ashes floating in the sky and earth with a little bit of Shi Shi's aura.

The middle-aged man was named Shi Xiang. His hair stood on end with anger, his knuckles cracked like thunder, and he roared angrily to the sky, his eyes fixed on Wang Xiao who had already run away in the distance.

The space where the man was standing exploded with spiritual energy, and his clothes fluttered violently. His most beloved adopted son was killed, causing his emotions to be completely out of control.

“Ahhhhh, give me back my son’s life!”
