672: C672 There Was Nothing He Could Do

C672 There Was Nothing He Could Do

After two days of seclusion in the system, I've finally finished researching the forging method of the Soul Subduing Pestle. The rest was for actual forging, but the materials used to forge the Soul Subduing Pestle were very rare. Although some of the storage vaults in the system had a collection of items and Arrowhead, there was still a small portion that was missing.2

"If I want to collect the rest of the materials in a short period of time, I'll have to look for Biying. It just so happens that I should be preparing to hang Xiao Zhengqin, this big fish." Zi Tianhao thought for a moment, then left the system and left the Northern House.

After leaving Xiao's Stronghold, Zi Tianhao went directly to the black market in the underground cave. When he arrived at the underground palace in the black market, a burly man appeared in front of him as soon as he entered.

"Martial Emperor Bai, this way please..." The burly man respectfully called out to Zi Tianhao.

Zi Tianhao knew that this burly man was one of Biying's subordinates. Therefore... He nodded and followed the burly man to the corridor on one side of the underground palace. After a series of turns and turns, they went up a flight of stairs. They actually entered an open-air garden. To be precise, it was the backyard of a mansion. Then, he looked around and saw all kinds of gorgeous buildings everywhere. The scale wasn't small, although it wasn't as grand as the Xiao's Stronghold. However, it was obvious that this was not something that ordinary people could possess.

They continued to follow the burly man out of the backyard. They walked along the stone road and passed through a few buildings for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. After that, Zi Tianhao saw a palace appear in front of him. It looked like the Bai Wu Hall of Xiao Family, but it was slightly smaller. The plaque on top of the palace had the words "Zhengqin Palace."

"This palace is actually named after Fourth Master Xiao. It seems like this place should be Fourth Master Xiao's territory..." Zi Tianhao said with certainty. He had also expected this to happen after the Marriage Snatching Convention. He had also deliberately avoided Xiao Zhengqin. Firstly, it was to make Xiao Zhengchun relax his vigilance. Secondly, if he was too proactive... It would make Xiao Zhengqin suspect something.

After entering the back of the hall, sure enough, Zi Tianhao saw Xiao Zhengqin sitting on the tiger chair at the front of the hall. Suddenly, Biying sat on one side of the chair. Apart from him, there were also a few powerful high-level Martial Emperors in the hall. It seemed like they were all capable subordinates of Xiao Zhengqin.

"Greetings, Fourth Master, Brother Hu, and everyone else..." Zi Tianhao took a few steps forward and greeted them with a calm expression.

"Looks like Martial Emperor Bai isn't surprised to see me!" Xiao Zhengqin saw that Zi Tianhao didn't have a surprised expression on his face and couldn't help but say.

"What is there to be surprised about? It's not like I don't know about the relationship between Brother Hu and Fourth Master. Plus, it is clearly written on the plaque outside the hall." Zi Tianhao replied with ease.

"Haha, although Martial Emperor Bai is young, his mental strength is not ordinary. No wonder you were able to defend the battle successfully in the Marriage Snatching Convention under the siege of Martial King, who was surrounded by numerous experts. In the end, you made an engagement with my niece..." Xiao Zhengqin immediately laughed out loud and praised. Although he wasn't present for the last two challenges because of some matters, he had also heard about Zi Tianhao's astonishing performance. Of course, after seeing Zi Tianhao's performance, and this result was completely within his expectations.

"Fourth Master, you flatter me." Zi Tianhao nodded slightly.

"Brother Bai, are you here to find me, or to find your father?" At this moment, Biying, who was sitting at the side, asked.

"I'm here to find Brother Hu. I urgently need a few rare Royal Grade materials, so I would like to ask Brother Hu to help me collect them." Zi Tianhao answered straightforwardly.

"Oh." Suddenly, Biying heard him and turned to look at Xiao Zhengqin.

"Martial Emperor Bai, if you are not in a hurry, why don't you sit down first? It's rare to meet you today, let's have a good talk... It's not easy for me to have a few words with you! " Xiao Zhengqin immediately brought up the topic. He had wanted to find a chance to talk to Zi Tianhao that day. However, Xiao Chuxuan found an excuse to stop him. He had also sent people to keep an eye on Zi Tianhao for the past two days. He wanted to find an opportunity to "invite" Zi Tianhao over, so as soon as Zi Tianhao left Xiao's Stronghold, he went to the underground river cave to look for Biying. He knew that he had ordered someone to bring Zi Tianhao along with him.

"Since Fourth Master has already said so, of course I can't refuse." Zi Tianhao replied calmly.

"Then please take a seat!" Xiao Zhengqin immediately said.

After that, Zi Tianhao also sat on a chair at the side.

"Yesterday, because I had important matters to attend to, I wasn't able to watch the battle personally. However, I heard that Martial Emperor Bai had also performed shockingly in the last two challenges, especially when he displayed his martial spirit. With Martial Emperor Bai's age and strength, he was able to cultivate his formed Martial Spirit in such a short period of time. Even in the entire Divine Profound Continent, there were only a few of them. It seemed like my elder brother and my niece were right about him. Martial Emperor Bai, you are definitely a dragon among ten thousand people... " Xiao Zhengqin looked at Zi Tianhao with an admiring expression, but when he thought about how such a genius was now owned by his elder brother... He's naturally quite unbalanced.

"I don't dare to accept Fourth Master's words. It's only because the patriarch and the young lady have high expectations for me. Therefore, I can only try my best to deal with them. Furthermore, I was lucky to be able to successfully defend the arena this time. That Young Master Zhen Tian from the Xuanyuan Family is very powerful. I almost lost to him. " Zi Tianhao smiled modestly.

"That Young Master Zhen Tian is indeed powerful, but it is precisely because of this that you are still able to defend the arena. This also shows your strength. You don't need to be humble about this." Xiao Zhengqin waved his hand.

"I am not modest. I am just speaking the truth. So, if Fourth Master has something to say to me, there's no need to beat around the bush. " Zi Tianhao threw down the bait.

When Xiao Zhengqin heard this, he could not help but hesitate for a moment because he did not expect Zi Tianhao to be so direct. He originally wanted to test Zi Tianhao again, but since Zi Tianhao had already said so... Therefore, he said in a very straightforward manner, "It seems like Martial Emperor Bai is also a straightforward person, just like me. Then I will tell you the truth, although Martial Emperor Bai has already made an engagement with my niece in front of everyone. He will become the son-in-law of Xiao Family, but I still hope that Martial Emperor Bai can stand on my side. Serve me. Of course, I won't treat you unfairly. If my big brother can give it to you, I'll give it to you double."

" Since Fourth Master knows my current identity, isn't he afraid that I will report it to the family head? " After Zi Tianhao heard this, he asked with a smile.

"I don't get along with my big brother. It's no longer a secret in Xiao Family. Besides, everyone in the Xiao Family knows that I'm eyeing the position of the family head covetously. However, the position of the family head should have belonged to me. My big brother used some despicable means to take it away from me. So, if I take back the position of the patriarch... It would only be the position of the Clan Head. Besides, if my big brother really gave the Xiao Family to my useless nephew... Then, the Xiao Family will surely fall. In order to prevent the foundation of the Xiao Family from being destroyed, of course, I have to prepare for the worst!" Xiao Zhengqin did not conceal his ambition and spoke in a dignified manner. He did not feel that he was wrong at all.
