NFBE Chapter 563 Xie Family Forbidden Ground
Chapter 563 Xie Family Forbidden Ground
The Xie family residence is a forbidden area.
A howling wind blew, and a golden dragon shadow appeared and disappeared in the chaos.
His scales shimmered with golden light, then dimmed in an instant as they drifted away.
As the dragon's shadow moved, the heavy sound of chains dragging on the ground could be heard.
One, two, three...
One hundred and eight rusty chains pierced his body mercilessly.
Dragon Shadow seemed oblivious, still dragging the chains binding his body as he numbly wandered around this world that imprisoned him.
Suddenly, a light shone at the edge of the forbidden area.
A handsome and refined young man emerged from the light and stepped into the forbidden area.
His appearance caused the dragon shadow to erupt instantly, its head contorted in a ferocious manner as it charged toward the youth, radiating killing intent.
The young man retorted, "You beast!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the chains within Long Ying's body lit up with a dense array of runes.
The runes melted the rust on the chains, which glowed red-hot like a branding iron, restricting the dragon's shadow and preventing him from advancing.
The young man leaped up, soaring over the coiled dragon's body and reaching the center of the forbidden area.
In the center of the forbidden area, a white jade pendant with dragon patterns was bound. The dragon patterns on the pendant shone with golden light, just like the light on the dragon's body.
The young man picked up a drop of blood from his fingertip and let it drip onto the jade pendant.
As the blood droplets merged into the jade pendant, the dragon shadow, which had already resigned itself to its fate, suddenly roared and then struggled frantically, trying to break free of the chains.
The dragon's struggle triggered the jade pendant, and the blood droplet that had already merged into the jade pendant was forcibly pushed out of the surface of the jade pendant, and finally slid down the jade pendant and dripped into the ground.
The young man's face darkened, and he angrily rebuked, "You ungrateful beast!"
"I am the next head of the Xie family!"
Dragon Shadow used all his strength to fly up, viciously slamming the chains inside his body towards the youth.
The young man quickly dodged the chains' attack, and then heard an old male voice coming from beyond the sky.
"Sanjue, that's enough. If you can't make the Dragon Pendant willingly recognize its master, what's the point of forcing it?"
The old man's words caused the jade pendant to tremble, and the dragon shadow had no choice but to retreat back into the dragon pendant under his pressure.
Suppressing his resentment, Xie Sanjue landed and bowed, saying, "Ancestor."
He is not reconciled!
The direct descendants of the Xie family have been unable to awaken their talents for a thousand years.
His only hope was to make the dragon pendant recognize him as its master and use it to awaken the talent in his bloodline.
He was unwilling to become a discredited head of the family like his father!
"After cultivating with Xue Wan, my cultivation level should be able to advance further. I want to try again then."
The old man remained silent for a long time: "All the previous patriarchs died here with regret, but even if Long Pei does not acknowledge them, it does not affect the fact that they are outstanding patriarchs in the eyes of the Xie family."
"Sanjue, you have more important things to do."
"I remember the family trial is about to begin."
“Your half-brother will definitely make a move this time. Don’t let the good talents in the family fall into his hands.”
Xie Sanjue didn't take Xie Sanshen seriously at all.
Xie Sanshen, that idiot, thought he had volunteered to go to the City of Forgetfulness.
Little did he know that it was someone who whispered in Xie Sanshen's ear.
Xie Chunqiu of Forget-Worry City shared the same hobby as his good half-brother, and was immediately interested upon hearing this.
The time he spent traveling back and forth was enough for him to thoroughly understand the situation of the Xie family members who came to participate in the trial.
"Yes, Ancestor, I understand."
Xie Sanjue stared at the dragon pendant, took one last deep look, and then turned and left the forbidden area.
The bright sunshine dispelled the chill of the forbidden area, but it could not dispel the gloom in his heart.
Xie Sanjue returned to his courtyard and heard a report from his guards.
"Young Master, Xie Sanshen has returned to the city. Nothing went wrong on this trip."
Xie Sanjue said dismissively, "Now that he's back, there's no need to have anyone keep an eye on him."
"That idiot is lucky if he doesn't drag my good stepmother down."
"By the way, were there any outstanding individuals in this family trial?"
The guard reported expressionlessly: "Xie Linxue, female, 300 years old, Nascent Soul stage."
"Currently residing at Cuizhu Restaurant."
"Xie Guanyan, male, 250 years old..."
The guard calmly announced five names in succession: "These are the people worth paying attention to this time."
"In addition, Number Seven from the Heavenly Division reports that a person named Xie Qianjue wants to participate in the Bloodline Trial."
Xie Sanjue scoffed, "Xie Qianjue? Where did this guy come from?"
“My Xie family genealogy can be traced back a thousand generations without a single error or omission.”
"If he wants to participate, then let him participate. Anyway, no one has ever passed this trial."
"Give the order that if he fails the trial, he should be publicly executed by slow slicing, so that no Tom, Dick, or Harry will come to claim kinship with him."
The guard replied, "Yes."
"Young Master, the Xue family will be arriving soon."
Xie Sanjue said impatiently, "I have tried my best to have people fulfill all the harsh conditions they set."
"The engagement date hasn't arrived yet, what are their plans for coming early?"
The guard carefully observed Xie Sanjue's expression: "Our spies have learned that Miss Xue Wan is not willing to participate in this marriage."
"Those harsh conditions were also intended to discourage the young master and the family head from making a decision."
"I never expected that the patriarch would actually make it happen."
"She persuaded the head of the Xue family to change the marriage candidate to Miss Xue Rui."
Xie Sanjue's expression suddenly changed, and he smashed the table next to him into dust with a single palm strike.
"That bitch!"
The Xue family simply disliked the fact that his title as the head of the family was not legitimate, so they wanted to find a concubine's son to appease him.
