Chapter Fifty-One: Xia Shou's Final Appearance

  Since saying goodbye to Xia Lin, as it was already hopeless to get the first place, under Xia Yan's persuasion, the two of them actually started to go on a rare tour around. In the following days, they even strolled around the nearby areas of Linjiang City.

  Two people entered the mountain stronghold, and the disciples who followed behind them automatically stayed back. Only two people walked step by step to the front of the stage, and the Black Wind Stronghold disciples beside the stage automatically gave way to the two.

  "I'm back."

  Seeing the two of them coming over, San Dangjia stood up first and looked at the two people in front of him who were unscathed. He let out a sigh of relief, "How come you're so late? You didn't get hurt, did you?"

  "Yes, Father." Xiaoyang rubbed his head and smiled, putting San's mind at ease. Compared to his lively daughter, he was more at ease with this seemingly silly son.

  Xia Man stood up and looked at the two of them with a faint smile, "Why don't we take a look at the trial results first?"

  "Yes, let's go take a look first." San Dangjia hastily said.

  "It's okay, I don't need it."

  Xia Yang's face was tinged with a bitter smile as he looked at Xia Yan, who pouted and refused to speak. He could only continue, "We didn't gain anything from this trip."

  "Huh?" San's face changed color, "What's going on?"

  "Uh, it's all gone...". Xiaoyang smiled wryly and shook his head, saying somewhat helplessly.

  "Have they been robbed clean?" The three family members were shocked. To think that Xia Yang and Xia Yan had joined forces, yet even when facing Xia Cheng, it was hard to resist, how could they have been robbed clean?

  Xia Yang smiled helplessly, "It's hard to put into words."

  On the elder's seat, an old man in white clothes sat upright and still. This person was the great elder of the Xia family, the strongest of the Xia family, who had long been said to have entered the absolute strength of the Condensed Sea! At this time, the great elder hesitated for a moment, with thousands of disciples watching from afar, he could only instruct behind him: "Xia Ling, register it."

  Xia Ling nodded and recorded these results.

  Xia Yang and Xia Yan didn't go out either, they simply followed onto the stage and stood by their father's side, whispering softly, apparently recounting what they had seen and heard along the way.

  After the summer record was completed, he also walked to the front of the stage and officially announced the results.

  "Xia Yang, trial harvest, none. Xia Yan, trial harvest, none."

  As soon as the result was announced, it caused a stir among the crowd.

  These two siblings joined forces and this is all they got in return?

  Isn't Xia Cheng making another breakthrough?

  Or has Xia Ming's strength suddenly soared?

  They waited for half a day, and two of them came back at once, bringing this shocking news, which also excited all the disciples of Heifeng Gang. The two men were empty-handed, indicating that someone had swept through with absolute strength! This was absolutely good news for them, as the stronger the gang leader was, the farther they could lead them in the future.

  Time slowly passed by, and everyone was quietly waiting. Before long, it was high noon.

  The sound of footsteps came from outside the mountain village, and it could be heard from a distance. Obviously, this time a large team had come.

  "Whoosh——"

  As the crowd of onlookers walked in one by one, a large group of people and horses, as well as several horse-drawn carriages, left everyone stunned. Clearly, this time the trial team's harvest was extremely rich.

  But which team is this?

  Looking at the team, everyone was confused, Sun Zhong... Xia Ming?

  This is Xia Ming's team, but how did Sun Zhong end up here?

  "Tempering the body to the ninth layer of the peak!"

  A sudden exclamation came from the stage, and several of the hosts saw Xia Ming. As a martial artist, his aura was impossible to conceal, with an intense aura that could break through the vortex boundary at any time and become a strong practitioner.

  "No wonder... With his physical strength at the ninth level of the peak, plus his terrifying archery skills, I'm afraid he's truly unbeatable!" The elders exchanged a glance, and a hint of relief flashed in their eyes.

  The body of Jiuquan's nine-story peak is far from Xia Shang's water goods, and the nine-story peak can be reached, which must be a real force!

  In a flurry of whispers, people discussed animatedly, their eyes fixed on Xiaoming with admiring glances.

  At this moment, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Xia Lin slowly got out of the carriage, attracting everyone's attention.

  Xia Ming's physical body was at the ninth peak of the outside world, while Xia Lin was sitting safely inside the horse carriage. This in itself seemed to explain some problems, and some people were lost in thought for a moment.

  Xia Lin glanced at the Black Wind Village disciples around him and let them stay behind, then he and Xia Ming slowly walked forward together.

  "Congratulations on your safe return." Xia Ling smiled and didn't chat at this time, first dealing with official business, asking seriously, "You two returned together, I don't know how the resources you brought back will be divided?"

  Xia Ming smiled faintly and took a step back, standing behind Xia Lin's left side.

  This move shocked everyone!

  This is an action that only a subordinate would take, which means Xia Ming has actually submitted to Xia Lin? A martial artist who has reached the ninth peak of physical refinement? What's going on here.

  "It's all mine."

  Xia Ling's eyes flashed with a hint of excitement, "Hey, I knew that kid was no good from the start. And indeed, his first robbery is quite impressive, haha."

  "Alright, I'll take you to check the records now." Despite being excited in her heart, Xia Ling said seriously and then led everyone to inspect.

  "It's interesting, this aura?" The Great Elder was slightly surprised and said to Xia Lin: "Come over here for a moment."

  Xia Lin's expression turned serious as he walked up to the Great Elder and said respectfully, "Greetings, Great Elder."

  "En." The elder nodded, stretched out his hand and tapped him on the shoulder, and a mysterious energy suddenly entered his body, but he didn't feel any breath, and his eyebrows furrowed in surprise...

  Xia's lips curled up slightly into a faint smile, and she remained silent.

  The great elder didn't seem to notice anything, slightly shaking his head, and had someone bring over two chairs, letting Xia Lin and Xia Ming sit on the platform.

  In the distance, Xia Ye saw Xia Lin and a hint of shock flashed in his eyes, but he quietly hid it. Damn, how was he still alive? If so, where's Cheng Er?

  Soon, the summer statistics were completed and announced to the public: "Xia Ming, trial harvest, none. Xia Lin, trial harvest, no spiritual grass, two carts. Silver...".

  As soon as Xia Ling finished speaking, Xia Ye let out a sigh of relief and exchanged a glance with the Second Elder not far away, feeling secretly pleased in his heart.

  The resources brought back by Xia Lin are only a small part! Not even one-fifth, completely unlike the resources they planned before. Where are the remaining resources? In Xia Cheng's hands! Although Xia Lin is still alive, there was a slight unexpected turn in the plan, but as long as it doesn't hinder his Chieftain plan, that's fine.

  For a moment, our second master waited with bated breath, looking at the mountain gate, waiting for his son to return.

  Xia Lin looked at it afterwards and was quite interested, and asked Xia Ling who was standing aside: "Ling Shu, what is he waiting for? His neck is almost stretched out the door."

  Hehe, summer is coming, "what else can we wait for, waiting for Xia Sheng to arrive. You may not know, this time there are many resources, it seems that the successor of the village owner should be Xia Sheng, what a pity."

  "Xia Cheng?" Xia Lin let out a loud cry of surprise, drawing everyone's attention to him, before continuing in shock: "I forgot something!"

  "What's wrong?" Xia Ling asked, somewhat strangely, what was it that could make Xia Lin so shocked.

  Xia Lin shook his head and shouted loudly towards the distance, "Sun Zhong, bring him over."

  "Here it comes."

  Sun Zhong responded with a nod, and everyone looked over to see Sun Zhong walking towards them with his back to the crowd, carrying a tightly bound figure on his back, one step at a time, until he reached the front of the stage.

  "Undo it." Xia Lin said.

  Sun Zhongyi stretched out his hand, untied the tightly tied rope, and then suddenly removed the cloth strip that was tied to the person's mouth. The bound person finally struggled to get up.

  "Summer is here, I'm going to kill you!"

  A loud roar echoed, and the people around him finally realized that this pale-faced man who had just been untied was actually the second young master of Heifeng Gang, Xia Cheng!

  "What's going on?"

  "It's really him, Second Young Master."

  "How did the second young master end up like this... Looking at his appearance, it seems like the eldest young master was involved?"

  "Get on!"

  Xia Ye, who had been sitting steadily on the fishing platform, suddenly exclaimed and rushed down, "Cheng Er, what's going on? How did you get tied up?"

  No need to wait for Xia Cheng's words, Xia Ye's eyes revealed a murderous intent as he stared at Sun Zhong standing beside him, "You dog slave, just because of your insult to Young Master earlier, I won't let you off today!"

  After finishing speaking, Xia Ye surprisingly prepared to take action against Sun Zhong.

  At this moment, a strong killing intent locked onto him. Not far away, Xia Cheng's giant bow was already floating in front of him, with an arrow at the ready, able to shoot out at any time!

  Xia Ye's body trembled with rage, not fear. When did he, the second master of Hei Feng Gang, allow anyone to trample on his dignity?

  "Fine! Fine! Fine! You dare to lay a hand on me! I'd like to see if you have the guts!"

  "Xia Ming, someone dares to lay a hand on Sun Zhong, kill without pardon!" Xia Lin said slowly from the side, "Some people can be stopped, but I don't know if his son can be stopped?"

  One sentence stopped Xia Ye's rushing figure, turned back to look at Xia Lin, suppressed his furious mood, and then checked Xia Cheng's body.

  Sun Zhong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and Xia Ye's sudden outburst of momentum had really scared him. Fortunately, Xia Ming and Young Master were quite powerful, so he didn't dare to make a move. Xia Man was watching the commotion on the side, and her previous intention to take action also subsided, and Xia Lin's performance was much better than she had imagined.

  It's actually gotten to the point where there aren't many surprises left.

  Xia Yang and Xia Yan were robbed, Xia Mingchen surrendered to Xia Lin. In the end, this long-awaited greatest heir was actually tied up! Xia Lin's fearless face against Xia Ye's boldness also shocked everyone, it turned out that this young master had unknowingly grown to this point!

  It's a surprise for people of Xia Man ancestry.

  "Cough cough." Xia Ling walked up to the front, a joyful expression on his face, and said, "In that case, I'll announce the results of the trial... Ah, the first place in this mountain village trial is..."

  "Wait!"

  The Second Elder, who had been watching from the side, suddenly interrupted.

  Xia smiled secretly in her heart, "Old guy, you've finally jumped out."
