Chapter 300: The Martial Sage Is Also A Human (1)
In a mountain in the suburbs outside the capital.
The Xia Family’s ancestral residence.
In a spacious and dark underground chamber in a tall building in the southeastern corner.
“Pu!”
A mouthful of blood suddenly spurted out from the mouth of a white-haired old man.
The white-haired old man fell backward and lay on the ground. His entire body was trembling and the whites of his eyes were showing.
“Quick, save the Third Elder.”
Outside the secret chamber, a group of people who had heard the commotion opened the stone doors under the command of a tall, burly middle-aged man. Two people rushed in and carried the white-haired old man who was almost unconscious out of the secret chamber. They placed him on a stone table in the corner and fed him pills and water.
“Ahem!”
After a while, a trace of color returned to the white-haired old man’s pale face. He leaned against the wall and slowly inhaled and exhaled.
“Third Elder, how is it? Did you manage to contact the ancestor?”
A thin middle-aged man asked eagerly, “What did the ancestor say? Is that new Martial Sage his subordinate?”
“He must be one of us. Without the ancestor, who in the Yu Nation can become a Martial Sage?”
“That’s right. All these years, all those with potential who have hopes of becoming Martial Sages have received the Xia Family’s favor.”

“Third Elder, did the ancestor order that new Martial Sage to come to the Xia Family to keep watch for us and help us dispel the spying of others?”
“…”
A group of people surrounded the white-haired old man and spoke one after another, shouting loudly.
The white-haired old man calmed his breathing and did not answer. His expression was ugly.
“Shut up, all of you!
Seeing this, the tall, burly middle-aged man shouted angrily and reprimanded, “Shut up! Are you done talking? Is this the time for you to be making a din? If you don’t want to hear the ancestor’s message at the first moment, get out and wait outside!”
Silence.
After a while, someone muttered in a low voice, “Well we were feeling anxious, weren’t we…”
Swish!
The tall, burly middle-aged man turned to look at him with a cold gaze.
The muttering immediately disappeared. The group forced themselves to restrain themselves and remained silent.
“Third Elder, you speak.”
The tall, burly middle-aged man retracted his gaze and looked at the white-haired old man.
“The ancestor…”
The white-haired old man took a deep breath and said sadly, “Is dead.”
“What do you mean?” The thin middle-aged man was first stunned when he heard this. Then, he widened his eyes and growled, “How could he be dead? He is the Martial Sage. How could he be gone all of a sudden? Huh? Speak, speak! How could the ancestor be dead…”
Thud!
A bright clap sounded.
It was the tall and burly middle-aged man. He swung a slap on the thin middle-aged man. One half of the latter’s face swelled and he fell to the ground.
“What’s with the shouting!”
The tall and burly middle-aged man with a grim expression swept his fierce gaze across everyone and shouted, “All of you, listen up. No one is allowed to leak this matter! If anyone does, I’ll kill him!”
Everyone shuddered and did not dare to make a sound.
“Ahem!”
The white-haired old man coughed and sighed. “It wasn’t easy for the ancestor to last until today. Now that he’s gone, everyone in the family should behave themselves in the future.
“As for the new Martial Sage, I haven’t contacted the ancestor and I can’t sense his existence. I wonder if the ancestor had given the new Martial Sage any instructions about us before he left. If he did, that would be for the best. If not…”
“No, no. The ancestor must have left behind his last words and asked the new Martial Sage to take care of us.” A voice sounded from the crowd and interrupted anxiously.
“That’s right, that’s right. We are the descendants of the ancestor. It’s impossible that he wouldn’t find someone to take care of us!”
“Find the new Martial Sage and tell him to come forward and help us continue to rule in the capital.”
“We can give him money, spirit weapons, spirit herbs, women… The new Martial Sage is also a human. It’s impossible for him not to like these things.”
“However, the new Martial Sage should be busy with New Chu’s Martial Sage next. He probably won’t have time to care about us…”
“That’s fine. Don’t we still have seven days? We can just get him to come over these two days. He’s just showing his face. How long can it take?”
“That’s right, contact the new Martial Sage immediately!”
“Do you have a way to contact him?” The tall and burly middle-aged man interrupted coldly and said expressionlessly, “Do you know who the new Martial Sage is and which prefecture he belongs to?”
Hearing this, the clamoring people shut up again.
“Hmph!”
Seeing this, the tall middle-aged man shouted coldly and stopped looking at them. His gaze returned to the white-haired old man and he said softly, “Third Elder, I’ll have to trouble you to divine where the new Martial Sage is from and his current location.”
“I’ll try my best.”
The Third Elder exhaled, stood up, walked back into the secret chamber, and closed the stone door.
In the center of the secret chamber, a deduction platform that contained the power of heavenly secrets and divination began to rotate under the control of the white-haired old man, emitting light.
But before long——
“Pu!”
The white-haired old man spat out another mouthful of blood and flew backward, crashing to the ground.
This time, before he could catch his next breath, he fainted.
Before his consciousness dissipated, he heard the stone door of the secret chamber open and a few people rushing. He also heard someone shouting that Xia Huankong had injured a member of the Chen Family.
How could he injure someone at a time like this?
Someone from the Chen Family at that?
The white-haired old man was shocked and furious. He wanted to roar, but he had already fainted.
…
Internet cafe.
Su Jingxing’s main body suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky above him.
His gaze seemed to penetrate the void.
“Who’s spying on me?”
While the Nine Souls Ring blocked the divination, Su Jingxing’s Essence Soul could counter-divine and counterattack.
If the other party’s mental power was not strong, he could even die on the spot from the retaliation.
