Immortal Cauldron of Rebirth
Chapter 44 The Devouring Body
I doubted it, why didn't I doubt it?
He just... doesn't want to believe it.
I am too tired. For decades, I have used cultivation instead of sleeping. I have practiced alchemy until I was fainted by the furnace fire. My soul power was severely exhausted and I was rolling on the ground in pain. Xiao Yiheng pushed himself to the extreme in order to make himself useful, but now he told him about these sufferings He didn't need to bear it originally, so how could he accept it calmly?It's not that he still has illusions about Xiao Xin, it's just that when he doubts, it seems to negate all his previous efforts.
Seeing Xiao Yiheng's silent appearance, Lei Zhuan sighed deeply, and he knew that with Xiao Xiao's cleverness and exquisiteness, he might have discovered it a long time ago.He felt a little distressed, but he could only tighten his arms to make the hug more intimate.
"I'm fine, don't worry." Xiao Yiheng raised his head and kissed Lei Zhuan's chin, and said, "Tell me, what did you find out? It's enough to be confused once."
Lei Zhuan hesitated for a moment before saying, "Actually, these are just my conjectures, and I haven't found evidence yet..."
"Be honest, don't be perfunctory." Xiao Yiheng knew that with Lei Zhuan's character, he would not make random guesses. Since he brought it up like this, it means that this matter is likely to be true.
Lei Zhuan sighed in his heart, and asked, "Do you know how that man swallowed up the Artifact Refining Line?"
"I don't know." Xiao Yiheng honestly shook his head.The capital of the Xiao Clan, who can make weapons anytime and anywhere, must be strong, and the person in charge of the weapon refining family is not as useless as Xiao Xin, so Xiao Yiheng is puzzled by being annexed so lightly.
Lei Zhuan explained: "Elder Li disappeared, and the people in the craftsman's circle were distracted, so he took advantage of the situation and entered."
"How come?!" Xiao Yiheng asked in surprise.Elder Li has been in charge of the Artifact Refining Line for many years, and his style of conduct is very cautious. He himself has the cultivation base of Emperor Realm, so how could he disappear for no reason?
"It's not without reason." Lei Zhuan thought for a while and said, "The day before Elder Li disappeared, the Lei family's spies sent back news that Elder Li was ready to attack the Xiao family. However, in the evening, the 'Xiandingmen's Young Sect Master' went to Elder Li's room, and in the morning someone found that Elder Li was missing."
The amount of information in this sentence was too much, and Xiao Yiheng was a little confused when he smashed it.He waited for a while before asking the question he cared about the most, "Could it be that that person's cultivation has surpassed that of Elder Li?!"
Lei Zhuan shook his head, "That man is just an alchemist of the earth rank. Although he has a strange fire in his hand, these alone will definitely not be able to hurt Elder Li who has reached the imperial realm."
"He used a strange fire." Xiao Yiheng said with emotion. Back then, he worked for Xiandingmen, but the fire he used was only the earth fire that he found hard. The treatment of that person is really enviable. .Immediately, Xiao Yiheng shook his head again and said with a smile: "It was not comparable in the first place, what am I doing wrong. And now I already have Yan Xinhuo."
Lei Zhuan kissed Xiao Yiheng's forehead and said, "Not only that, you also have many things that he doesn't have." Such as a kind heart.
"You?" Xiao Yiheng was only joking at first, but as soon as he said that, he felt that that person might really covet Lei Zhuan, otherwise why did he take the initiative to go to Lei's house to ask for a marriage?Although it is possible that they have taken a fancy to the strength of the Lei family, the Lei family is not the only powerful force in the Canglan Continent. If it is said that that person has no selfish intentions, Xiao Yiheng will not believe it.
However, Lei Zhuan had a different opinion. He felt that rather than saying that the man coveted him, it would be better to say that the man had revenge on Xiao Yiheng.If it was really as they guessed, that person had been hidden by Xiao Xin since he was a child, there was no guarantee that he would not feel hatred for Xiao Yiheng who was able to walk in the sun openly, and even wanted to replace him.In this way, his various behaviors can be explained.
"You mean he's jealous of me, so he wants to take everything away from me?" Xiao Yiheng thought about it.He said directly, as long as he made it clear, Xiao Yiheng would absolutely surrender everything except Lei Zhuan.What is the young master of the Immortal Cauldron Sect, that thing is a fire pit, whoever jumps into it will be unlucky.
Lei Zhuan warned: "In any case, you have to be careful." The man was too attached to Xiao Xiao, if he knew that Xiao Xiao was not dead, he would definitely continue to attack.
Xiao Yiheng wasn't that worried, he was already an earth-level alchemist, his soul power was stronger than that of ordinary alchemists, and he had a different fire by his side, even if they really fought, Xiao Yiheng didn't have anything to fear.
"Of course we won't suffer from a head-on confrontation, but we are afraid that he will use some insidious means." Lei Zhuan said.
Why?Xiao Yiheng guessed Lei Zhuan's unfinished meaning as soon as he turned his mind, "Could it be that Elder Li was assassinated by some means?"
Lei Zhuan touched Xiao Yiheng's little head, and praised: "It's really smart." After receiving a blank stare, Lei Zhuan continued: "Although the Xiandingmen said that Elder Li was missing, the spies from the Lei family discovered that he was missing that night. Someone brought a large box out of the man's room. He felt something strange and followed up to check, only to find that the box contained a mummified corpse! Unfortunately, the people who handled the corpse were very careful to ensure that the mummified corpse was burned He just left, so he can't confirm the identity of the mummy. However, thinking of Elder Li's disappearance, the identity of the mummy is about to be revealed."
"Turning a living person into a mummy? Is it poisoning?" Xiao Yiheng is a pharmacist, so he will naturally consider this situation in terms of poison and medicine, and an earth-level pharmacist who wants to assassinate a powerful person in the imperial realm can only do so. Rely on poison. Medicine.
However, Lei Zhuan shook his head, "It's not easy to assassinate a strong man in the imperial realm. With the keen perception of a strong man in the imperial realm, it is very likely that he will be aware of it before the alchemist poisons him. I think this situation is more serious. It seems to be caused by a special constitution."
"What special physique?" Xiao Yiheng frowned, a little confused.He has seen many special physiques, but this kind of physique that can turn people into mummy is unheard of.
"I suspect that person is the body of devouring." Knowing that Xiao Yiheng was not clear, Lei Zhuan explained in detail, "The body of devouring is a very domineering special physique, and a person with a special physique can absorb the flesh and blood and inner energy of others , and even turned his talents into his own use. There was once a monk with a devouring body who hunted and killed magicians and practitioners everywhere in pursuit of power, causing a lot of casualties in the cultivation world. Later, several superpowers joined forces to bring him Killed. Since this incident has been going on for a long time, and there has never been a person with a devouring body since then, everyone gradually forgot about it. Fortunately, Grandpa once heard a sentence from the ancestor, and he still kept it. I had some impressions, and I found related records in the Lei Family Library Pavilion."
Xiao Yiheng twitched the corners of his mouth, and smiled coldly, "So, that person is Xiao Xin's trump card and I am the one who was given up. No wonder no matter how I practice my soul power grows slowly, and even regressed. It seems that it was also stolen by that person."
"I'm afraid it's more than that," Lei Zhuan continued, "What he really wants to steal is your life." Xiao Xin hid the man and made such a vicious and disgusting plan. A child was pushed out to replace him. He propped up the facade of the Immortal Cauldron Gate, and this child with a devouring body only needs to practice hard, and when the child who was pushed out has gained fame and status, he can replace him.
Xiao Yiheng laughed at himself: "That's why I always wonder if I am Xiao Xin's own."
Lei Zhuan patted Xiao Yiheng's back reassuringly, and said, "He has already received his retribution." It's just not enough.
"What do you mean?" Xiao Yiheng suddenly turned his head to look at the pavilion, "Could it be..."
"That person is out of control." Lei Zhuan's voice was faint, but he could detect the hatred inside, "Because that person pushed you into the fairy cauldron on his own initiative and destroyed Xiao Xin's arrangement, so they turned their faces .”
If it goes according to Xiao Xin's plan, I'm afraid Xiao Xiao will also turn into a mummy, and that person's intrusion saved Xiao Xiao's life by mistake.Although the result was good, that person's heart was actually more vicious than Xiao Xin.The soul of the person swallowed by the devouring body can still be retained, even if it cannot be taken away, it can still be reincarnated.However, being pushed into the Immortal Cauldron, he could only be dissipated and completely disappeared between heaven and earth.
Xiao Yiheng gloated and said, "Then how is Xiao Xin doing now?"
"Because there are some things that require him to come forward, that person hasn't touched him yet, so he should be imprisoned now. That person is extremely cautious. Since he has mastered the Xiandingmen, there have been fewer news from the spies."
"What's that man's name? You've already found out." Xiao Yiheng raised his head and looked straight into Lei Zhuan's eyes, "You've been avoiding his name because you're afraid that I'll be sad."
Lei Zhuan rubbed Xiao Yiheng's hairy head helplessly: "I really hope you aren't so smart sometimes."
Xiao Yiheng let out a "hum" with unknown meaning.
Lei Zhuan sighed and said: "40 years ago, Hong Chuying, the Fairy Feihong, gave birth to two babies. The youngest child was born with a devouring body, so the head of the Xiao clan named him 'Xiao Yiheng', hoping that this child would have outstanding talents. "
"What a nice name..."
"But he is not a good person." Lei Zhuan kissed Xiao Yiheng's eyes, "My Xiao Xiao is the best."
With itchy eyes, Xiao Yiheng buried his head in Lei Zhuan's arms and rubbed it. After the heat on his face faded, Xiao Yiheng reappeared, "Do you think she knows about this?" This "she" refers to Naturally it was Xiao Yiheng's biological mother Feihong Fairy Hong Chuying.
Lei Zhuan shook his head, everyone who was involved in this matter was silenced, and the Lei family could only find out a rough idea after spending a lot of effort.
"...I want to go see her."
"it is good."
