Chapter 795: 18. The Mystery of the Ancestral Dragon (2 in 1)

Translator: 549690339

South of the Great River, Jiangye Capital.

Xia Taiqian’s expression was gloomy as he sat in his dragon robe in the starry night.

The night was very cold.

His heart was also very cold.

It was cold and cruel.

Because he wanted revenge, because he had endured for decades.

There was a cup of wine on the table. Every night, he would drink some because when the cold wine entered his throat, it would turn into a flame that burned his internal organs.

Only by being burned by fire would it feel better.

But he never drank too much, because if he drank too much, it would affect his thinking and weaken his mind.

Today, the starlight was just right, so he was drinking again.

As he drank, he saw two people walk out of the shadows. A man and a woman. It was Xia Ji and Xia Xiaosu.

Xia Taiqian had a playful look on his face. In his view, these two had already set their tragic fates.

Xia Ji should have died in the Imperial Capital, and Xia Xiaosu should have married into the Turks…

However, the two of them disappeared into thin air and avoided the disaster.

Now that he had suddenly appeared and bypassed the layers of guards outside, it was obvious that his ability was not weak.

At least in his impression, both Xia Ji and Xia Xiaosu were not even proficient in martial arts.

As he was thinking, Xia Ji sat down in front of him and said, “”Xia Taiqian, I know you want revenge. Now is a good opportunity.”

When the Great Shang Emperor heard this, he was shocked.

The playful look in his eyes disappeared as he looked up at the youth in front of him.

He was a wise and forbearing lord. When he heard this, he immediately understood the hidden meaning.

First, he said, ” Xia Ji already knows that they are not father and son. ”

Secondly, Xia Ji also knew about his forbearance and his hatred for the aristocratic families.

However, cooperation was impossible because…

” I know you killed Su Linyu, ” Xia Ji said. ” We can put this matter aside for now. ”

Xia Taigan’s pupils constricted as he couldn’t help but sneer. ” You even know this and still want to cooperate with me? Seventh Brother…You…”

Before he finished speaking, he felt a terrifying aura rising from the opposite side, suppressing him and making him unable to say another word.

“Do you want to destroy the aristocratic families?” Xia Ji asked.

Xia Taiqian suddenly realized that in just three short months, this ‘son’ he had known for over ten years was no longer the same as before.

He frowned and took a deep breath. Then, he smiled and asked curiously, “”What happened these days? Can it change you to this extent?”

” Cut the crap, ” Xia Ji said. ” You’re in a dangerous situation now. ” Because of the dispute between the five great clans, these five clans even started a war.”

Xia Taiqian’s eyes lit up.

” But it’s true that one out of four families will be wiped out in a war, ” Xia Ji said. ” Although this family still has some mysterious forces helping them, they’re still a little lacking…” I came here to ask you, if you want both families to suffer, which side will you side with?”

“Naturally, it’s the family that’s going to be destroyed. Let them kill a little longer…” Xia Taiqian laughed.

This Great Shang Emperor had already gone crazy to a certain extent. The Great Shang Imperial Family had no descendants and he was unable to give birth. It would be strange if he didn’t go crazy.

“The Lu, Zhou, Shen, and Wu families want to destroy the Su family,” Xia Ji said. The battle between the aristocratic families requires the use of the army. Although they control many large families and dignitaries, the power of the world is still in your hands. Only you can mobilize the most troops in the world.”

Xia Taiqian lowered his head. This piece of information had truly shaken his mind, and he began to ponder.

Xia Ji patiently waited.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew in the Jiangye Capital, and many dense footsteps came over. Clearly, someone had sensed that Tian Zi was talking to someone.

To put it bluntly, Xia Taiqian was still in a ‘semi-imprisoned’ state. His every move was naturally being watched.

Hearing the footsteps…

Xia Taiqian couldn’t help but raise his head. However, he couldn’t help but feel curious when he realized that the unfamiliar Seventh Prince was not moving at all.

Then, he heard many footsteps coming from the roof.

Then, he saw the Ninth Princess, who was known for her cowardice, leap onto the roof…

Then, a series of bangs sounded.

A loud bang.

It was endless.

The clouds covered the moon, and the light was dim.

Vaguely, one could see black shadows being sent flying by some monster. They flew far away and crashed into the ground in the distance, wailing.

However, the wails soon stopped. The monster seemed to have struck out and killed one with a punch.

Xia Taiqian was speechless.

He rubbed his eyes.

That was impossible.

Was this really Xia Xiaosu?

“Make your decision quickly,” Xia Ji said.

“Even if we decide, how do we leave?” Xia Taiqian asked.

“I have my ways,” Xia Ji said.

Xia Taiqian was also an unusually decisive person. His eyes darted around, and after thinking for a few seconds, he made a decision that would affect his future. He said,”I’ll help the Smiths!”

After saying that, he stood up and said, ” I’ll go pack some important things. ”

Xia Ji casually tossed a ring over.

Xia Taiqian took it.

” This is a storage ring, ” Xia Ji said. ” Hurry up. ”

“How should I address you in the future?” Xia Taiqian asked.

“Just call me by my name…From now on, we are on the same side.”

“Wait, you…” Xia Taiqian wanted to ask why he was helping the Sus, but he remembered that Xia Ji was a descendant of the Sus. Perhaps his disappearance and change were caused by the Sus.
