Chapter 142 Lotus Purple Seal
Tiannan Town, Mayor's Residence.
The Soul Arrow pierced through the air and disappeared instantly, taking with it the mental energy that Xiao Chong had accumulated over many days.
when!
With his arms hanging limply at his sides, the Heaven-Shaking Bow fell to his knees. Exhaustion, drowsiness, and fatigue washed over him like a tidal wave, making Xiao Chong dizzy.
With his eyes tightly closed and his head shaking vigorously, Xiao Chong managed to lift his head, trying to expel a trace of this discomfort from his body.
Just as he shakily stood up halfway, the sky trembled, and a purple light streaked towards him along the trajectory of the [Soul Arrow].
Not only Hengshan saw the light and shadow, but everyone in the mansion saw it. However, the light and shadow were too fast, and no one had time to react. They could only watch helplessly as the light and shadow struck Xiao Chong's chest.
This situation at this time is definitely not a good omen! Sensing the aura of destruction seemingly contained within the purple light, everyone was shocked and looked at Xiao Chong.
Fatty, Yin Feng, and other members of the Xiao family who were close to Xiao Chong were even more furious, letting out a series of gasps of alarm.
In an instant, the purple light landed on Xiao Chong's chest as expected. To everyone's astonishment, a five-colored radiance emanated from Xiao Chong's body, momentarily blocking the purple light.
Obstructed, the purple light flickered, breaking through the multicolored radiance, and swiftly entered Xiao Chong's body. However, neither its speed nor its aura was as dangerous as when it first appeared.
laugh!
The moment the purple light entered his body, Xiao Chong's body went limp, he spat out a mouthful of blood, and collapsed back to the ground.
"Brother Xiao!"
"Young Master Chong!"
"Brother Xiao!"
Seeing this, everyone panicked and rushed to Xiao Chong's side, screaming in alarm.
"Brother Xiao, how are your injuries? Are you alright?" Hengshan held Xiao Chong in his arms and asked with concern.
"Cough...cough cough..." Xiao Chong coughed violently, spitting out several mouthfuls of blood, and said weakly, "I'm not going to die...I'm just a little...dizzy...and my vision is blurry..."
"It's due to excessive blood loss and the excessive consumption of energy when drawing the bow just now. You just need to rest and replenish your energy."
Hengshan reached out and placed his hand on Xiao Chong's wrist. After briefly examining it with his Yuan Power, he instructed Liu Yun, "Take some men and escort Brother Xiao to my bedroom to rest. Also, prepare some blood-nourishing items. If you need anything, just go to the treasury to get it."
"Yes." Liu Yun agreed and then brought Fatty and Yin Feng to help Xiao Chong. But to everyone's surprise, Xiao Chong struggled and refused to walk.
"Is there anything else you need to tell me, brother?" Yokoyama asked, puzzled.
"I need a quiet room, and... a lot of spirit stones... you promised me." Xiao Chong said hesitantly, gritting his teeth.
This is like reaching into a coffin—a desperate attempt to make money!
Yokoyama rolled his eyes helplessly, then looked at Xiao Chong, who seemed determined not to leave until he was paid, and felt a headache coming on.
Brother Xiao, I know you come from humble beginnings and are eager for cultivation resources, but healing is the priority right now! As for spirit stones, I have plenty here, so I don't really care about them.
After hesitating for a long time, Yokoyama tentatively asked, "Quiet Room... Yuan Stone... how about I send you directly to my treasury?"
"Yes!" Xiao Chong nodded vigorously.
"Then let's send it." Yokoyama turned to Liu Yun and gestured towards the treasury.
With Yokoyama's permission, Liu Yun and the others hurriedly carried Xiao Chong into the town mayor's mansion's treasury.
"You may all leave. I need to meditate." Seeing the dazzling array of treasures in the treasury, Xiao Chong waved to everyone, feeling as if his injuries had healed considerably.
After everyone left, Xiao Chong began to look around.
Yokoyama's treasury is truly enormous, containing an endless variety of supplies.
Piles of weapons were scattered haphazardly in the corner of the room, and chests of gold and silver were casually placed around, their lids not even closed. The light emanating from them almost blinded Xiao Chong.
But the most abundant thing was Yuan Stone. Not to mention that he had never seen it before, even in his sweetest dreams, Xiao Chong had never had such a rich imagination.
"Ahem... You really are wealthy and powerful. Brother Heng, you promised I could take whatever I wanted, and you can't go back on your word. But don't worry, I will never let you be a faithless scoundrel..."
Xiao Chong muttered a few words to himself, then endured the excruciating pain and crawled toward a pile of spirit stones.
Unexpectedly, the moment he moved, the injury to his chest was aggravated, and he immediately spat out two mouthfuls of blood.
"It seems that health is the foundation of everything, the old saying is so true. Let's treat the injury first, anyway, these things won't run away."
Xiao Chong glanced longingly at the room full of spirit stones one last time before remembering that he had come in to heal his injuries.
The thought of healing made his chest ache even more, reminding him of the soft sound he heard from his chest when the multicolored light rose, as if something had shattered.
"Could it be that something has been damaged from my father's belongings?" With a strong sense of foreboding, Xiao Chong shakily unhooked his bra.
A jade butterfly-shaped pendant hung quietly on her chest, though it was now covered with fine cracks.
"It's broken after all. I suppose it was this thing that emitted a five-colored light that shielded me from the attack, which is why I survived..."
Xiao Chong gently held the butterfly pendant in his palm. The spiderweb-like cracks on the pendant caused him a pang of pain, as if his entire body was overwhelmed by a deep sorrow.
"Huh, what is this?" After a long while, when the sadness in his heart had faded a bit, Xiao Chong suddenly discovered that there was a purple mark on the skin of his chest.
The mark is about the size of a copper coin, with some simple patterns engraved on it. Upon closer inspection, the pattern looks exactly like a lotus flower, with petals half-open and half-closed, and sparse textures on the lotus leaves. Although it is only a few strokes, the whole lotus flower is depicted vividly.
"Is this considered a tattoo? But I've heard that the left side is the Azure Dragon, the right side is the White Tiger, the front is the Vermilion Bird, and the back is the Black Tortoise. Shouldn't a little bird be tattooed on the chest?"
Xiao Chong instinctively felt that the suddenly appearing tattoo was definitely not something, so he reached out to remove it.
As if sensing Xiao Chong's treacherous intentions, the moment her fingers touched the purple lotus, the lotus stirred and vanished beneath his skin, as if it had burrowed into his chest.
After a while, when Xiao Chong moved his hand, it reappeared on his skin.
"It's quite troublesome. It must be that purple light and shadow that's causing the trouble. If we don't get rid of it soon, who knows what kind of trouble it might cause."
Xiao Chong endured the excruciating pain in his chest and channeled his inner energy to attack the lotus mark.
It worked! But this effect... was definitely not what Xiao Chong wanted to see.
As if nourished by the Yuan energy, the lotus mark not only did not disappear, but turned as red as blood and as beautiful as if it were about to come back to life at any moment.
This is absolutely terrifying! I won't be able to eat or sleep until this thing is gone! In a short while, Xiao Chong tried every method he could think of, but none of them worked.
"Let's just leave it like this for now. It doesn't hurt anyway. We can find a skilled corn remover later."
Xiao Chong sighed and finally gave up, turning his attention to the butterfly pendant instead.
