Chapter 554 The crime of having a jade
"Are you all ready?"
"Everything is ready."
"Then let's go."
With a wave of his hand, the Wen family patriarch sent his group flying away towards the outskirts of the city.
A few months ago, an elder of the Wen family had an incredible stroke of luck and successfully hatched a stone egg containing an ancient beast with a powerful bloodline.
Knowing that the Wen family was not capable of nurturing it, the head of the Wen family decided to sell the ancient beast.
After making inquiries from various sources, they finally found a suitable buyer, but the buyer was not in Hang Chau and they would have to cross a continent to reach him.
There are no teleportation arrays between continents, so they can only fly there. Living monsters cannot be stored in storage rings and can only be kept in cages.
Behind the head of the Wen family was the eldest elder of the Wen family, who was holding a box wrapped in animal skin. Inside the box was a cage containing an ancient mythical beast.
Both the box and the outer layer of animal hide were covered with mysterious inscriptions that ensured that the aura of the demonic beast was not leaked out and could not be detected by those with ulterior motives using their divine sense.
This ancient beast has a powerful bloodline, making it extremely valuable. If this transaction goes through, the Wen family will make a fortune.
Therefore, the Wen family attached great importance to this transaction and wanted to ensure that they arrived at their destination without any mishaps.
Therefore, the Wen family mobilized a large force, with not only the Wen family head and the Grand Elder, both at the peak of the Saint King realm, leading the team, but also five Grand Saint realm elders following behind.
They deliberately chose to leave the city quietly in the dead of night.
To maintain secrecy and a low profile, the seven did not travel very fast. It wasn't until dawn that they arrived near the North Sea of Hangzhou, where the North Sea borders another continent.
The Wen family members dared not be careless in the slightest. They all had serious expressions and were on high alert, with their hearts constantly taut.
"Wow!!"
A sudden, towering wave surged up on the calm sea, startling the Wen family members.
With their minds on edge, they instinctively drew their weapons, frantically channeling their inner energy, ready for battle at any moment.
The head of the Wen family took a closer look and sneered.
"It's nothing, it's just that there are two sea monsters fighting down there."
The Wen family members breathed a sigh of relief and put away their weapons.
"I was shocked."
"When we get back, we're going to slaughter and eat those two sea monsters."
Just now.
"Whizzing!!"
Suddenly, figures flew out of the sea, orderly distributing themselves around the Wen family members, like a large net, completely surrounding them.
The middle-aged man at the head of the group was burly, wearing a black cloak and holding a golden broadsword, resembling an ancient, ferocious beast that had just awakened.
The moment they surrounded the Wen family, they made their move without a moment's hesitation or pause.
"you...."
The moment the Wen family patriarch opened his mouth, a group of people charged over. His first thought was to run away, but he found that the other side had already blocked all their escape routes. Clearly, they were well-prepared and very professional.
"Are you from the Seven Kings City?"
No one paid any attention to the Wen family head; all that was done was unleash a series of terrifying attacks.
In an instant, the sky and earth changed color, the sea surged, and the two fighting sea beasts were directly shattered by the powerful pressure.
Wearing a black cloak and holding a golden knife, the man was Xiang Kuang, the son of Xiang Qian, the sworn brother of Canglu King, one of the Seven Kings.
That is, the father of Xiang Zhantian, who was the one who relentlessly targeted Xu Luo and his two companions, but ultimately died at their hands.
Xiang Kuang's target is the head of the Wen family. Although they are both Saint Kings, Xiang Kuang is at the peak of the Saint King realm, while the head of the Wen family is only at the sixth level of the Saint King realm. The difference between the two is huge.
Therefore, even though the Wen family patriarch fought with all his might, he barely managed to withstand Xiang Kuang's first move, but was seriously injured as a result.
Immediately following, Xiang Kuang's second move killed him without any hesitation.
"Do not!!"
“Patriarch!!”
When the Wen family saw this scene, their eyes widened in horror, and they were filled with unbearable grief.
In contrast, Xiang Kuang, the ferocious beast, remained completely calm, as if he had simply trampled a stray dog on the roadside.
Before his death, the Wen family patriarch's eyes were filled with regret and hatred. He deeply regretted not selling to the Cangqiong Chamber of Commerce, which was closer to home, in order to earn more money.
Now, not only will I die, but all the powerful members of the Wen family will also be doomed. The key is that without them, the Wen family's enemies will soon come knocking.
This means that the Wen family will not only decline, but may also be completely wiped out.
He hated even more the bandits of the Seven Kings City who robbed and plundered.
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.
Before his demise, the head of the Wen family seemed to have already envisioned the Wen family being wiped out.
"Damn bandits! I'll fight you to the death!!"
The eldest elder of the Wen family also thought about the future of the Wen family. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was extremely angry.
So he chose to self-destruct, hoping to take some people down with him before he died.
"Trying to self-destruct? How naive!"
Xiang Kuang's figure flashed, and before the Wen family's Grand Elder could self-destruct, he cleaved him in two with a single strike, instantly staining the sky with blood and causing continuous wails of agony.
After the Wen family patriarch and the eldest elder perished, the remaining members of the Wen family were utterly powerless to resist and soon fell one after another.
On the other hand, Xiang Kuang and his men suffered no losses whatsoever.
After all, they are not only stronger, but also more professional. They have done similar things countless times, so it can be said that the target's reaction and behavior are all within their expectations.
So the whole process was effortless and easy.
The Wen family's experience fully illustrates the principle that "a common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime."
If they hadn't hatched this ancient beast, they wouldn't have faced this calamity.
Similar things happen frequently in this cruel world.
Xiang Kuang grabbed the box wrapped in animal skin with a large hand.
Just as he was about to check.
A sudden change occurred.
