Chaos Trigrams
Chaptre 08. Traitors.
Chaptre 08. Treacheries.
Finally Xiang Tianzhi calmed down after obtaining a seal capable of hiding his strength, he hurriedly returned home, as his mother had finished cooking for dinner.
Xue Mei looked at her son's expression that looked delighted after the streets around the house. "Did you find something to make you happy?" ask Xue Mei.
"Sure!" xiang Tianzhi replied mysteriously and made Xue Mei curious.
"What did you find?" urge the curious Xue Mei, while arranging her cooking on the table.
"Secret!" xiang Tianzhi replied as he approached his mother.
"Yoh! Keep something from Mom! What if I don't cook!" threaten Xue Mei who was pretending to be angry.
Xue Mei was a little shocked as Xiang Tianzhi suddenly hugged her from behind, but she did not try to avoid nor move, her heartbeat started to tighten and her breathing was irregular.
"Hehehehe! I'm glad to have a mom who's good at cooking and beautiful!" Xiang Tianzhi chuckled and praised Xue Mei, he looked at the food on the table and released his embrace.
Xue Mei felt a sense of unwillingness when Xiang Tianzhi let go of his embrace, she immediately calmed down her heart and mind, after calming down she picked up some rice for her son.
"Boy as always, Mom is the best!" praise Xiang Tianzhi who ate voraciously.
Xue Mei's heart was flattered and smiled happily with her son's praise. 'He was completely transformed after experiencing a tragedy that almost took his life!' inner Xue Mei who was happy about Xiang Tianzhi's change. Usually Xiang Tianzhi never appreciated anyone, never even received a compliment like the one he had just listened to.
After finishing eating, as usual Xue Mei cleaned the table and Xiang Tianzhi left the house on the grounds of wanting to see the atmosphere at night to his mother. Though he wanted to break through to the Nascent Soul level immediately. Unsuspecting Xue Mei let her son out of the house, as long as it did not come out of the barrier she had made. Xue Mei herself wanted to cleanse herself before she rested and became her routine.
Xiang Tianzhi instantly ran very fast to get away from his house, with his strength at the Golden Core level, his body felt as light as cotton, each time the leap was able to reach four meters.
However, he suddenly stopped when he felt a sigh of movement on top of the bamboo tree. Xiang Tianzhi hurriedly hid behind the tree and saw three people jumping over the trees like flying, touching the tips of the feet on the leaves.
The three people were in black robes with hoods covering their heads and faces, tucked into swords at the waist, their Xiang Tianzhi estimations were at the level of a stage 8 Golden Core and a stage 9 person, respectively, and the one with the most strength is ahead of itself. Only a Golden Core level could have the ability to walk on water and leaves, at the Nascent Soul level martial practitioners could fly.
"Who are they?" anxious inner Xiang Tianzhi, as the three men headed towards his house, "I must break through immediately! Brother, please help me suppress the aura of breakthrough!" xiang Tianzhi continued to the Life Core seriously.
"Good sir."
The buzz...
Immediately the light shot out from Xiang Tianzhi's body and made a shield three meters wide. Soon Xiang Tianzhi broke through.
Swosh's... Swosh's... Swosh's...
Successive breakthrough energies erupted out from Xiang Tianzhi's body until the accumulated efficacy of the Heavenly Pill that was within his dantian was exhausted. Luckily it was a Heavenly level pill, so Xiang Tianzhi no longer needed to stabilize his foundation, only to adapt to the new strength.
Now Xiang Tianzhi's strength was at the level of the first Nascent Soul, and he hurriedly familiarized his body with the new strength that the original body owner had never achieved.
Taps...
Xiang Tianzhi stomped his feet and floated up. While hovering two meters high, Xiang Tianzhi suddenly recalled the memories of his past, but it was still faint and made Xiang Tianzhi even more confused.
"ah! Never mind, maybe every time I break through, I'm sure I'll remember it so slowly!" muttered Xiang Tianzhi while stretching his muscles.
Swosh's...
Xiang Tianzhi flew all the way around to familiarize Nascent Soul strength, and punched the air with his physique without using a cultivation base. "Physical is too weak, tomorrow I will return to the cave and forge bones."
Xiang Tianzhi's physique was indeed at the initial level or was still at the low Iron Stage level, the improvement was because he had passed the base of doing Body Refining or body refining level. And for the next upgrade would have to rely on a great resource, such as Bone Strengthening Pill or obtain good luck.
Boom💥 ...
There was the sound of an energy explosion coming from the direction of Xiang Tianzhi's house. Xiang Tianzhi was startled and quickly flew towards his house, where he saw his mother being ganged up by the three black-robed people he had seen earlier.
From a distance Xiang Tianzhi saw his mother covered in blood, and obviously Xue Mei was unlikely to defeat the three people, as her strength was at the sixth level of the Golden Core, even at the sixth level, his enemies are at stages eight and nine. However, only one person was simply watching without coming to attack Xue Mei.
"Just give up and bring the fuckin' boys?!" snapped the black-robed person who had strength at stage nine.
"How did you know we were here?" xue Mei asked as she endured the pain in her sword-scratched left shoulder, she wanted to know who gave her hiding information, because only she and her confidants knew of this location. Xue Mei's two eyes were always on guard and wished her son didn't come home soon.
"Baron Wang!"
Suddenly Xue Mei was surprised to see the person she believed had betrayed her, even though the promotion to Baron because Xue Mei's struggle helped her.
Being an official or raising a rank also has prerequisites that must be met, for example the rank of Baron, must take the Prefectural level examination held in any province every 10 years, having a minimum strength of stage 5 Foundation Establishment level, having four subordinates of the same level but having a lower level of strength, having a wealth of at least 20 million Gold pieces. if the rank of Nobel has achievements and is able to pay taxes beyond the specified and also increase the power up to Nascent Soul stage 5, then the rank of Nobel will be raised to Viscount.
If the rank of the Viscount wished to rise in rank again to become a Count, then it would have to take the provincial level examination held in the Kingdom without any time restriction, and before taking the examination it would have to pay 5 million gold pieces. If it does not pass, the cost will be forfeited. Deliberately the rules are made like that so that not many people want to become officials in origin, because it is for the integrity of any government.
If you want to rise to the rank of Duke, then you have to take the examination again at the royal level and get a high position after deepening your knowledge in the royal academy. The conditions are more astounding, must pay the exam of 50 million Gold pieces., have a minimum strength level of Body Integration stage 5.
Why was Xue Mei surprised to have been betrayed, because the confidant was weak in wealth, requiring Xue Mei to pay the exam, the manipulation of wealth data and also her achievements while serving as a Baronet. What Xue Mei did was not easy and risked jeopardizing her status.
"I'm sorry Concubine May, I had to do it, because my family was at stake!" revealed Baron Wang of the Wang Family named Wang Kai, he shook his head as he could do nothing against the dictatorship of empress Yin.
Xue Mei let out a heavy sigh and understanding Wang Kai's predicament, she actually felt guilty for having implicated Baron Wang in the scheme of killing the crown prince, and had always helped him on the run all along.
"Blame yourself for almost killing the crown prince! Surrender or we're forced to kill you and that damn kid!?" snapped the black-robed man to Xue Mei.
"Chief Jiang, I'd rather die than surrender to you! Forward up!" Xue Mei retorted back and challenged.
Xue Mei was obviously not going to give up, because in giving up she would be tortured, and more horribly become a male satisfaction slave, after which it would be sold in brothels.
"Haha! Stupid woman!"
Soon officer Jiang attacked along with his subordinates except Baron Wang. However, before approaching Xue Mei, Xiang Tianzhi shouted extremely loudly and filled with fury.
"Who hurt him ... Die!!"
Swosh's... Boom💥's...
"Gurgh!!" officer Wang's shout as his head was kicked by Xiang Tianzhi and did not stop there, he directly attacked officer Jiang's men.
Bang💥...
"Gurgh!!"
Swosh's...
"Die!!" after hitting Wang's men, Xiang Tianzhi moved quickly before officer Jiang got up.
Boom💥's... Bruck...
Xiang Tianzhi kicked the head of officer Jiang to the point of exploding, and the headless body collapsed. Knowing that Jiang's officers were about to escape, Xiang Tianzhi darted away with Jiang's sword.
Crushes... Bukk...
"How dare you hurt my mother!!" said Xiang Tianzhi whose anger was still not satisfied by killing two people, he kicked the head that had been separated from the body.
Xue Mei and Baron Wang were shocked to see Xiang Tianzhi being so brutal and his movements so fast that he was unable to speak, only being able to see quick movements like shadows.
Then Xiang Tianzhi looked at Baron Wang and approached him. "You being a betrayal will forever be a traitor!!" xiang Tianzhi said and immediately moved before Baron Wang could speak even react.
Swosh's... Crushes...
"Aragh!"
Xiang Tianzhi cut off Baron Wang's neck and could not be stopped by Xue Mei. Then Xiang Tianzhi looked at his mother who was crying while holding her wound.
"Mother, sorry!" xiang Tianzhi said after he calmed down a bit and hugged his mother very tightly.
Xue Mei sobbed and returned her embrace. Xue Mei was saddened to have betrayed her and could be sure her life would be on the run again. Xiang Tianzhi rubbed Xue Mei's back, closing his eyes so that his emotions could dampen.
After Xue Mei calmed down and no longer cried, Xiang Tianzhi let go of his embrace, but Xue Mei did not want to let go of her son. With Xiang Tianzhi's embrace, Xue Mei felt comfortable and safe.
