Chapter 316 The Second Fragment of the Myriad Spirits Map (Seeking monthly votes! Seeking further subscriptions!)

Wu Xian spoke with a mocking expression, making no attempt to hide his disdain, or rather, indifference, towards Shi Ziling.

Just as he said, brothers are brothers, but how to treat their brothers' parents depends on the circumstances.

After all, there has never been a shortage of eccentric parents in this world who, under the guise of doing what's best for their children, do all sorts of incomprehensible things.

If you give their children too much face, they will definitely take advantage of you and go too far. Some might even act like elders and boss you around.

Of course, Shi Ziling and Qin Yining weren't quite like that yet, but after spending some time together, Wu Xian had gained some understanding of their personalities.

Indecisive and sentimental, whether it's her true nature or because she was imprisoned by the Qin people for too long and developed depression, she's just too fussy and not good at making decisions.

According to this view, Shi Ziling was indeed unsuitable to be King Wu, at least not a qualified ruler.

But there was nothing he could do. He had a good son, and based on that alone, even if the son was a good-for-nothing, Wu Xian would still push him to the top. No one else could change that.

Shi Ziling had no choice but to agree in the end. Immediately afterwards, he encountered one of the things he would have to face after becoming the Martial King: how to deal with those in the Martial King's Mansion who were related to Shi Yi's lineage.

Clearly, when Wu Xian suppressed the Wu King's Mansion, most of the people he killed were direct relatives of Shi Yi's lineage and those who had participated in that incident back then.

The rest of the people who were close to Shi Yi or had a vested interest in him were left behind and had been under control for several days, awaiting the final outcome.

"Abolish your cultivation and live as an ordinary person from now on."

Shi Ziling sighed. The culprits and those who participated in that incident back then have been punished. He really didn't want to get his hands dirty with the blood of his relatives again. Otherwise, what difference would there be between him and Shi Yi's group?

"It feels like a waste!"

Wu Xian smiled and offered a different opinion.

“Those guys are certainly opportunists, but they’ve done a pretty good job as dogs for Shi Yi’s faction over the years. Now that they’ve already mastered the techniques, it would be much easier to just use them.”

"Don't forget, although the Rain King's Mansion has been destroyed, as the saying goes, a cunning rabbit has three burrows. I don't believe that the Rain Clan doesn't have other backup plans, such as places like their ancestral land. Let these bastards deal with them. It's also a test for them."

Everyone was terrified. This was a move to wipe out the Rain Clan completely, leaving them no chance of survival!

Speaking of which, why are you so skilled at this kind of thing? Are you really not from some demonic sect?
Everyone inwardly grumbled, but after some discussion, they agreed to Wu Xian's decision to send these "repentant" Stone Clan members out to hunt down the remnants of the Rain Clan within the Stone Kingdom before the news could fully spread, thus making amends for their past mistakes.

Wu Xian was very satisfied and did not interfere with the reorganization of the Wu King's Mansion. Instead, he wandered around the capital of the Stone Kingdom and eventually entered an auction house called "Bone Gu".

As one of the must-visit destinations for protagonists in fantasy novels, auction houses appear very frequently, similar to the Yue Lai Inn in the martial arts world.

In most cases, when the protagonist enters an auction house, he can find many rare treasures, most of which look ordinary and are overlooked by others, which is why the protagonist gets a bargain.

This Bone Gu auction house was just like that. If I remember correctly, a few years later, Shi Hao obtained a fragment of the Myriad Spirits Map, a broken Undying Golden Body, and a dusty double pupil here.

This time, Wu Xian didn't participate in the auction; instead, he went directly to the auction house's inventory to search, which was very aggressive.

Unfortunately, it wasn't that Wu Xian didn't want to show off his wealth during the auction; rather, according to the normal timeline, these three items shouldn't have even started being auctioned yet. They might be gathering dust in some corner of the warehouse right now, or perhaps they hadn't even been added to the collection yet.

Therefore, only by using this method could they hope to find these treasures. Fortunately, Wu Xian was lucky. Although he did not find the Indestructible Golden Body and the Double Pupils, based on the senses he had from the bone fragment he obtained from the Immortal Mountain, he quickly found another piece of similar, translucent white bone fragment, which was the second fragment of the Myriad Spirits Diagram.

"Two out of three have been obtained, and now only the fragment from Xiling Beast Mountain remains."

Wu Xian's eyes flashed. Compared to the two fragments in his hand, the one from Xiling Beast Mountain was more dangerous. It seemed that the remains of several Immortal Kings were buried there. Even if they were just remnants, they possessed immense power, and he had to deal with them carefully.

And so, Wu Xian stayed in the capital of Shi Kingdom for about a month. While Shi Ziling was reorganizing the Martial King's Mansion, he studied the two bone fragments of the Myriad Spirits Diagram and continued to cultivate the Six Paths Reincarnation Heavenly Art, accumulating proficiency in it.

Then a message came out that the Hundred Broken Mountain Trial, which was held once every few centuries, had ended, and the geniuses of various major forces were returning one after another.

According to the intelligence we have obtained so far, a disciple of the Butian Pavilion named "Haotian" has shone brightly in the trial and obtained many opportunities within it.

At the same time, he did all sorts of bizarre things in the Hundred Broken Mountains, offending and even crippling many prodigies, making the forces behind them grit their teeth and wish they could grind him to dust.

However, due to the resurgence of the sacrificial spirits of the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, and the fact that some forces have now returned to their peak, these forces can only suppress their dissatisfaction for the time being and prepare to take revenge when they have the opportunity in the future.

"As expected of him, he never stops causing trouble when he has the chance."

When Wu Xian learned of these things, he was speechless, but when he thought that the other party was Shi Hao, everything made sense.

"Let's go, it's time to reunite your family."

Wu Xian spoke to Shi Ziling and his wife, both of whom were very excited. Qin Hao, who had been brought to the Immortal Mountain by Wu Xian along with them, had mixed feelings and didn't know how to face his brother whom he had never met before.

Of course, Qin Hao dared not have any bad thoughts. After all, a month ago, he had personally witnessed how Wu Xian dealt with the Wu Wang Mansion and the Yu Clan. Unless he was out of his mind, he could not possibly have any bad intentions towards that older brother. He just needed to be a good younger brother.

Seemingly sensing Qin Hao's thoughts, Wu Xian didn't care and directly led Shi Ziling and his family away from the capital of Shi Kingdom.

As for what to do about the Wu King's mansion... Don't you see that in the original work, the Wu King would go into seclusion to cultivate every few days and didn't care about anything at all?

Ultimately, this is a fantasy world. Those in power only need to focus on becoming stronger and making crucial decisions. Other things will naturally be handled by others. If you try to do it yourself, you might end up making a mess of things.

Another half month has passed in a flash.

Wu Xian, riding on the ancient remnant he had previously subdued, led Shi Ziling and his family close to the ancient pure land where the Heaven-Mending Pavilion was located. Just as they were preparing to land ahead of schedule, they suddenly realized that something was wrong.

With a sweep of his divine sense, he saw a giant golden spider lurking outside the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, radiating an incomparably powerful aura.

"Hand over the one with double pupils! Otherwise, my Demon Spirit Lake will never rest until you, the Heaven-Mending Pavilion, have done it!"
