From the time travel, I became extraordinary

Chapter 337 Special Effects
Xujia Town, Xu Mansion, back garden.

With a face as black as the bottom of a pot, Xu Changqing, along with several elders of the clan, walked a few steps to the rockery in the middle of the garden.

"My Lord, Chang Qing is incompetent and has failed to manage the Xu family well."

"Recently, a major incident occurred in our clan. Our Xu family is about to collapse and is in danger of being destroyed."

"Only if you, the ancestor, come out of seclusion, will you be able to turn the tide and save the family from the dire straits."

……

Led by Xu Changqing, the group knelt three times and kowtowed nine times, performing several grand salutes towards the location of the rockery.

The biggest use of the red phoenixes raised by Xu Hongyuan is to deliver messages.

Whether the caravan was heading to Black Rock City or the Xu family was heading into the mountains, they would bring a few Hong Luanque with them to deliver messages.

With the help of this bird, the team of Xu family encountered crises several times when they went out, but they finally got help and turned danger into safety.

After the Xu family caravan encountered an accident, although no survivors had returned from the wild to the town, the information they conveyed with the help of Hong Luanque had already fallen into the hands of Xu Hongyuan, who then reported it to the head of the family, Xu Changqing.

The ancestor of the Xu family was named Xu Jin. Before he went into seclusion, he had instructed that no one was allowed to disturb him unless the family's life and death was at stake.

This time, Xu Changqing really had no other choice but to come here to ask for help.

After all, it wasn't just their Xu family caravan that got in trouble. Even Xu Changshou, who was only slightly weaker than him, was smashed to death.

The person who took action was not an ordinary bandit, but Jiang Yao, who had a grudge against the Xu family and was wanted by them.

He simply couldn't understand how Jiang Yao, who was only at the Bone Tempering Stage not long ago and ran away very fast when he met the Xu family warriors and didn't dare to confront them head-on, suddenly entered the Organ Refining Stage?

Judging from the information conveyed by Hong Luanque, with Xu Changshou's strength, he couldn't hold on for long when he met Jiang Yao!
With the facts witnessed by his subordinates, Xu Changqing felt that even if he, the head of the family, took action himself, he would probably not be a match for Jiang Yao.

In Black Rock City, there are all kinds of resources that the Xu family needs.

With Jiang Yao blocking the trade route from their Xujia Town to Black Rock City, if they don't resolve this problem, it will be extremely difficult for their Xu family to obtain resources and materials from Black Rock City in the future.

If this continues, it will definitely shake the foundation of the Xu family and make it difficult for them to train their own warriors.

In this world, it is hard to find people who are willing to help others in times of need, but people who like to take advantage of others’ misfortunes are everywhere.

The relationship between the Xu family and several villages and towns adjacent to Xujia Town has never been harmonious.

If the news that the great elder Xu Changshou had died and their Xu family's trade routes had been cut off were to reach the ears of several nearby forces that were not on good terms with them, it is not impossible that those forces would take advantage of the situation and attack their Xu family in groups.

In Xu Changqing's opinion, under the current situation, only the ancestor Xu Jin could personally take action and get rid of Jiang Yao quickly and easily, so as to deter the surrounding forces and prevent them from having some unrealistic and crooked ideas.

"Boom... Boom... Boom..." The group stood respectfully in front of the rockery. After just waiting for a while, the huge rockery in front of them slowly split in the middle.

"Changqing, what's going on?"

"I have only been in seclusion for a short time, how come our Xu family is already in danger of destruction?"

"Who is so bold as to attack our Xu family? Do you really think that I, Xu, am too old to lift a knife?"

Under the rockery, a passage that could allow two or three people to walk side by side appeared in front of Xu Changqing and his companions.

Before Xu Jin appeared, his voice, which was obviously filled with anger, had already reached the ears of Xu Changqing and others.

The next moment, a burly old man with white hair and beard, but a face as rosy as a baby, strode out of the passage.

The old man was none other than Xu Jin, the ancestor of the Xu family. There were many rumors about him in the Xu Mansion.

However, few people can tell whether those rumors are true or false, and how true they are.

As the head of the Xu family, Xu Changqing knew that one year ago, their ancestor Xu Jin had successfully broken through and entered the blood exchange realm. "Ancestor, the one who forced our Xu family to this point was a guy named Jiang Yao..." Taking a step forward, Xu Changqing bowed respectfully to Xu Jin.

It took him about a cup of tea to tell Xu Jin in detail how the caravan was robbed and Xu Changshou died, as well as the grievances between their Xu family and Jiang Yao.

"I'm not saying anything bad about you, Changqing. You are a good person in every way. Your only shortcoming is that you lack the courage to do things sometimes."

"That Jiang Yao lived in the town for a while. He was only at the first Bone Tempering Stage at the beginning."

"Either you don't offend him. Since we've already made a grudge, you have to make things right. How can you let him escape from Xujia Town and successfully enter the Refining Zang?"

"The Xu family is so big, but it was forced into this state by a junior. I have to say that under your leadership, our Xu family is quite cowardly."

"Okay, leave this matter to me. If I do it myself, I will definitely come back with his head and give it to you."

"Stay in the mansion and wait for my good news!"

……

Pointing at Xu Changqing and the others, Xu Jin scolded them for a long time without any hesitation.

In Xujia Town, the head of the family, Xu Changqing, is high and mighty, and his words are law. But in front of Xu Jin, he just hangs his head obediently and is scolded like a grandson.

Of course, he is indeed Xu Jin's biological grandson, but because everyone in the Xu Mansion calls Xu Jin "Ancestor", he, as the head of the family, does not directly call him Grandpa.

Not hearing any more scolding, Xu Changqing raised his head and looked in the direction of Xu Jin. Only then did he realize that the place was empty. Xu Jin, who had been standing there just now, had disappeared without him noticing.

"With our ancestor personally taking action to deal with Jiang Yao, it will be easy to capture him."

"Come on, let's leave first."

"Inside the mansion, prepare the celebratory wine. We will wait for the ancestor to come back."

Without Xu Jin's presence, Xu Changqing once again became the high and mighty head of the Xu family.

He waved and greeted the elders behind him, then strode out of the back garden.

……

Jiang Yao threw the copper stick in his hand directly onto the ground beside him.

Just now, he, who had been practicing the Iron Body Technique, suddenly found that waves of heat were surging into his body out of nowhere and blending into his flesh and bones.

His flesh, muscles, and bones, which had already been tempered to the limit, seemed to have undergone some inexplicable changes in that instant.

When this change was over, he was sure that his defense had definitely increased dramatically compared to before.

He was a little confused and had no idea why this change came about. His attention was focused on his light curtain panel.

"Defense +3? After I have perfected the Iron Body Technique, it still has this effect?" Jiang Yao was stunned at first, and then he was delighted.

Apart from those tricks that cannot be upgraded, among all the skills that can be cultivated to mastery, the Iron Body Skill is the first one that he has practiced to perfection.

He really didn't know whether the special effects brought about by the perfection of the skills were originally there, or were the result of the system upgrade after killing Lu Changsheng, the cheater.
