Martial World's
Ch 222 - News of the Spread of Death

Snow fell faster and harder; guards were on guard not on high alert.
The temperature is 20 degrees below zero. But this was nothing to a Pulse Condensation period martial artist. As long as they twisted their true essence, they could easily dispel the freezing cold. However, the servant is the one who suffers. They had no cultivation, so after standing in the cold wind and biting snow for a long time, they immediately began to tremble.
Although they were almost frozen, the Allied Trade Association had very strict rules. They could not even rub their hands or step on their feet for warmth.
At this moment, there were some maids carrying wine and other sweet snacks as they walked. Their little faces almost froze, and the dishes they carried were covered in snow.
A guard checked the fruit and snacks before nodding and indicating that they could pass and deliver the tray. But, as soon as he waved his hand, he suddenly became stiff. He looked with disbelieving eyes at the riverfront pavilion not too far away.
The pavilion is empty!
"This ... My Lord !?"
"mm?" The Two Guards and the Three Guards also looked over, stunned.
"What's going on!?"
The four bodyguards panicked and used their movement techniques to enter the pavilion. They saw that Ouyang Dihua had disappeared, while Zhang Fengxian was lying on the ground, his condition unknown.
The hearts of the four bodyguards were suddenly filled with an inexplicable chill. They had been keeping watch here, so how could this happen?
"Mr Ouyang? Was she kidnapped, or … "
The moment Guardian One said these words, he fell silent, not wanting to continue. The other three suddenly felt their hearts turn cold and enter their stomachs. If Ouyang Dihua died, they would face a severe punishment from the Seven Great Valleys!
The One Guard placed his hand on Zhang Fengxian's mouth to see if he was still breathing, and found that he was actually breathing. As soon as he opened his eyelids to check, Guard One suddenly flinched. His pupils had disappeared, leaving nothing but the whites of his eyes!
"Quick ... hurry and report this to Martial House. Use the remote information transmission array to notify the Total Faction that Mr. Ouyang is in trouble! ”
The truth was, the moment Ouyang Dihua died, the Seven Profound Valleys had already been informed. Ouyang Dihua was an important figure, so he had the Life Jade Plate.
Once he died, no matter how far he was, the Life Jade Plate would be destroyed.
The deacon disciple guarding the Life Jade Plate Chamber suddenly heard a cracking sound. Stunned, he saw the Jade Tablet mark, and immediately lit up the sound transmission talisman.
At this moment, in a cave dwelling in the mountains behind the Seven Profound Valley, a middle-aged man dressed in black was sitting cross-legged in meditation. His long and thick black and white hair hung down to his waist, and his face was as apathetic as stone carvings. He circled around his true essence to cultivate martial arts. A faint sound of crying ghosts spread from his body, and terrifying energies spread throughout his body. Ice sheets form on the ground around it.
This man was Ouyang Dihua's uncle, Ouyang Boyan. He was an Elder of the Seven Profound Valley Acacia Faction and he was an early Xiantian realm master.
The fu!
A flaming fire appeared in front of Ouyang Boyan, and the voice of the Jade Plate Room deacon sounded in Ouyang Boyan's mind.
"What !?" Ouyang Boyan's eyes opened, a dangerous coldness flashed between them. "Who killed my niece !?"
At the next moment, Ouyang Boyan was like a ghost as he rushed out of the cave residence, and suddenly arrived at the Jade Plate room. The Deacon Jade Plate Chamber was already waiting, his hand raised the tray with the Life Jade Plate Ouyang Dihua. There was a sharp gap in the Jade Plate, it proved that Ouyang Dihua was dead.
“Because they dare to kill my nephew, no matter who it is, I will make them beg for death! Their entire family will pay with their lives as well! "
Ouyang Boyan's eyes were filled with killing intent. 20 Years ago, Ouyang Boyan had yet to break through to the Xiantian realm. He was on a mission with Ouyang Dihua's father when the two of them were ambushed and chased. The two of them had fought with their lives on the line. Ouyang Dihua's father had died, but the enemy had suffered great losses because of him. This was the only reason that Ouyang Boyan was lucky enough to keep his own life. Therefore, he always considered Ouyang Dihua as his own son, and tried to meet all his needs as best as possible. Sometimes, due to his own excitement, Ouyang Dihua would offend a powerful figure in the mortal world. When this happened, Ouyang Boyan would help his nephew resolve the incident.
The Seven Great Valleys were not a monolithic sect. Seven different factions each managed their own matters. Their cultivation methods were all different, and as a result, their corresponding personalities were also different. As the saying goes, those who walk different paths must part ways. There wasn't much of a connection between the seven Great Elders, and even the Seven Profound Valley Master couldn't resolve this.

Although the Acacia Faction was subordinate to the Seven Profound Valleys, they were not subject to restrictions. As the Elder of the Acacia Faction, Ouyang Boyan possessed immense power and influence. He was able to protect Ouyang Dihua so that he could do whatever he wanted.
Ouyang Boyan had been protecting his nephew like this all along, but now, he was really dead! This aroused the anger of Ouyang Boyan. When she entered the underworld, where would she have the face to see her brother?
"Prepare for the Heavenly Wind Eagle, I will be departing for the Sky Fortune Kingdom soon!" Ouyang Boyan coldly issued an order, his heart filled with a strong determination. Even if he were to reverse the Sky Fortune Kingdom, he would find the murderer who killed his nephew!
………………………
Sky Fortune City, Bai Family –
The Bai family from Sky Fortune City had been court officials for generations. Every generation of the family, they would have someone who passed the imperial examination. They can be described as a scientific family that has stood out for centuries.
Most of the Bai Family were clerks, they were responsible for maintaining and tracing history and literature, reviewing court documents, and handling state affairs.
The current head of the Bai Family generation was Bai Yuanpei. This generation, the Bai Family has reached the peak of its prosperity. Bai Yuanpei had been the number one scholar of his generation, and he had passed the Imperial Examination to become a second-rate official at the age of 45, and he was a vice minister.
However, it was in Sky Fortune Kingdom where martial arts were considered the most prestigious street, the glory of being the number one scholar every three years was less than being the number one examination candidate of the Seven Profound Martial House entrance examination that lasted twice a year . Even the position of Prime Minister in government is lower than the position of ten Great Generals.
However, there was actually an anomaly that occurred to the generation of Bai Yuanpei's grandson, who would become Bai Yuanpei's grandson, Bai Jingyun. He was actually born with an incredible fourth-grade talent.
Bai Jingyun's father was a human without any talent or martial arts cultivation. As for his mother, he was only a superior third-rate martial talent. For Bai Jingyun to be born with such martial talent, it could be considered a precious miracle.
But, when Bai Jingyun was 15 years old, her princess-like life suddenly ended.
This was because Ouyang Dihua, who had traveled, had taken a liking to Bai Jingyun's beautiful beauty and extraordinary talent, and she decided to marry her as a concubine.
The Bai family refused. However, Ouyang Dihua directly approached the Emperor, and the Emperor then issued an Emperor Decree. This was an extremely strict order, how could Bai Yuanpei refuse? The power and influence of Ouyang Dihua was greater than that of the Emperor. Even if it was the Emperor who wanted to accept the minister's daughter as an imperial concubine, the minister would not dare to refuse. Uncle Ouyang Dihua was the Elder of the Seven Great Valleys. If his uncle wanted to, he could dethrone the current Emperor and install a new one as his successor.
.
So Bai Yuanpei had no choice but to obey. However, Bai Jingyun's father was strongly against this. Who knew how many concubines Ouyang Dihua had? Marrying her daughter with it was just like pushing her into a fiery pit!
However, no matter how much opposition there was, Bai Yuanpei was unable to change his decision.
Bai Jingyun's father was only a weak and weak scholar. Initially, his body was unwell, and he had been bedridden for many years. All the stress was going on to catch up with him, and he suddenly died.
According to the Sky Fortune Kingdom tradition, once fathers died, their children had to live in small huts for 100 days, and then mourn for three years to fulfill their filial obligations. Ouyang Dihua wanted to marry her, but after receiving this news he could not break the custom, so his marriage was annulled.
Now, the three-year mourning period was coming to an end, and Ouyang Dihua actually came to Sky Fortune City as the current Seven Great Envoys. This caused Bai Jingyun to feel absolute despair rooted in her heart.
Before Ouyang Dihua had become the Seven Profound Envoy of the Sky Fortune Kingdom, the Bai Family could not resist him when he had proposed. Now, with Ouyang Dihua having occupied the position of the Seven Great Envoys, his status was equal to that of a ruler. Bai Yuanpei was only a small vice minister, the result of the rejection could be imagined.
Bai Jingyun used adventure as an excuse to leave, and had been in hiding for over a month. Now, he returns helplessly to face his inevitable destiny.
He had not gone to the Martial House for a few days. Most of the time, he stays in his room. This morning, after Bai Jingyun washed herself, someone knocked on her door.
"Jingyun, can I come in?"
It was Bai Yuanpei's voice.
Bai Jingyun sighed. For the future of the family, his own grandfather had pushed him into this situation. He did not hate or hate her, but he also did not hold much sentiment for her.
Especially after his father died, his attitude towards Bai Yuanpei was even colder.
"Please enter . '' Bai Jingyun calmly said.
"Jingyun, have you had breakfast?" Bai Yuanpei said as he walked in. He tried to smile to hide his own guilt.
“I don't eat. ”
“You still have to eat a little. I'll have the kitchen make something and send it to you. ”
"no need. I have to rest for a while ”Today, Bai Jingyun really did not want to talk to Bai Yuanpei, because she did not want to know why Bai Yuanpei came here.
"Yes .." Bai Yuanpei awkwardly coughed, "I know about things about your marriage …"
"You don't have to say anymore, I understand. "Bai Jingyun's voice was silent and gloomy. Marriage is just a great way to describe it. According to the habits of the Sky Fortune Kingdom, a man could have several concubines. In general, only a legitimate and legitimate wife can marry, a concubine does not have that privilege. Even the Emperor's concubine was not considered to be married.
Bai Jingyun knew what the reality of the situation was. It was impossible for his grandfather, who was only a minor vice minister, to rebel against the Seven Great Envoys.
Bai Yuanpei's words got stuck in his throat. He could only laugh. "That .. after another half month, the Tenth Prince, His Highness the Cloud Prince, has decided to hold a banquet in his palace. Mm ... here's the invitation .. ”
Bai Yuanpei shook his head bitterly as he took out an invitation card from his chest pocket.
Bai Jingyun glanced at the card. He could guess that at the Cloud Prince's banquet, he would also invite Ouyang Dihua. The Tenth Prince had already gained the unofficial support of Ouyang Dihua. As for the Crown Prince, since Lin Ming had left without speaking, his reputation and prestige had suffered a huge decline. The forces that took a wait-and-see stance had turned towards the Tenth Prince.
"I'm not leaving!" Bai Jingyun said coldly.
"But Jingyun …"
“I've said that I will mourn my father for three years! For three years, I would eat vegetables. For three years, I would wear white. For three years, I will not be married! Before that, I don't want to see Ouyang Dihua! If you force me, I'd rather die! ”
Bai Jingyun spoke this with an insistent expression. Bai Yuanpei was surprised, Bai Jingyun was too short. Not only would he lose his grandson, but he would also provoke the fury of Ouyang Dihua.
He quickly said, “Jingyun, calm down. You don't have to go, okay. You don't have to go. I will only report to His Highness the Prince of Clouds and … "
As Bai Yuanpei spoke, a voice-emitting talisman suddenly lit up in front of him. He froze like a wooden chicken when he heard the message sent.
Ouyang Dihua ... actually ... is dead !?
