Chapter 1814: Chapter 1811: Ximen Tian Awakens
Ximen Qi and Ximen Chu were both startled, exchanging a glance. Ximen Shuang managed to concoct the elixir so quickly, even after the alchemy room was destroyed. How did she do it?
But at this moment, that wasnât their primary concern. They asked urgently, "Did you really make the elixir? Thatâs... wonderful! If thatâs the case, letâs hurry over!"
Watching her uncles with forced smiles, Ximen Shuang chuckled lightly, "It seems my uncles are very concerned about grandfatherâs condition. Thatâs reassuring."
Saying this, Ximen Shuang turned her hand, and a white jade bottle appeared in her grasp.
Ximen Qi and Ximen Chuâs eyes narrowed, focusing intently on the jade bottle.
Suddenly, Ximen Shuangâs hand trembled, and the jade bottle fell from her grip. Ximen Qi and Ximen Chu instantly reached out.
"Third brother, let go!"
"First brother, you should let go. I got the elixir first!"
...
Ximen Qi and Ximen Chu clashed dozens of times in that brief moment, but ultimately, the elixir ended up in Ximen Qiâs hands.
Ximen Qi held the jade bottle and sneered, "Third brother, you still dream of getting the elixir? Foolish! When have you ever been able to take something from my hand that I wouldnât give?"
Ximen Chu squinted, "Ha, if I werenât worried about the elixir, would you have managed to seize it from me?"
Ximen Qi smiled and breathed deeply, pulling out the stopper of the jade bottle, only to be stunned to find it empty!
"Empty? How is this possible?" Ximen Qi was taken aback, then looked unhappily at Ximen Shuang, "Ximen Shuang, what on earth is going on? Where is the elixir in the jade bottle? Are you playing us?"
Seeing the jade bottle devoid of elixir, Ximen Chu also showed a look of surprise.
Ximen Shuang laughed, "Thereâs no elixir in the jade bottle. Are you two uncles happy about this or not?"
"What do you mean by that?" Ximen Qiâs face showed a trace of embarrassment, then he angrily said, "Is now the time for your antics?"
Ximen Shuang exhaled silently, "Of course not. However... with me distracting you two here, I suppose Big Brother Lei has already sneaked into grandfatherâs room!"
...
Ximen Shuang was correct. By this time, Ling Feng had quietly entered Ximen Tianâs room.
Though the defenses outside Ximen Tianâs room were quite strict, the guards outside, at most, were of Mid Sky Realm cultivation. Ling Feng managed to avoid their divine sense rather smoothly.
Once inside, Ling Feng cautiously looked around, then headed straight for the inner bedroom.
Lying on the bed in the bedroom was an elderly man nearing the end of his days, his body emaciated, his complexion sallow, emitting an aura of death, without even a single maid in attendance around.
"Is this Ximen Tian, the Clan Leader of the Ximen Family?" Ling Feng stood by the bed, pondering with some regret.
No matter how powerful or wealthy you are, during your moments of utmost desperation, itâs still your children who stab you last. What meaning does such a life hold?
Ling Feng wondered whether Ximen Tian, if he knew what his children were doing to seize power, would be upset enough to faint again, but it likely wouldnât make him very happy!
Shaking his head, Ling Feng retrieved the Soul Transfer Pill and carefully fed it to Ximen Tian. The elixir dissolved instantly in his mouth, transforming into countless pure energies, flowing into the old manâs limbs.
Ximen Tianâs emaciated and wan face showed a hint of pain; soon, a thread of black smoke emerged from his seven orifices, and the deathly aura began disappearing at a visible rate, with his previously withered body gradually regaining a robust appearance.
Within just a dozen breaths, Ximen Tian looked much younger.
Slowly, Ximen Tian opened his eyes, with a strange young man before him.
"Who are you?" Ximen Tianâs deep voice resonated, "How come youâre in my room?"
Ling Feng noticed Ximen Tian showed no sign of bewilderment; he smiled and said, "Iâm a friend of Ximen Shuang. Do you recall what happened earlier, old master?"
Ximen Tian squinted, feeling his body and couldnât help but say, "My body has recovered? Did you feed me the Soul Transfer Pill?"
Ling Feng nodded, "It seems the old master is aware, sparing me from explaining more. I think Ximen Shuang is currently in a dangerous situation; itâs time for you to make an appearance!"
...
"Youâre tricking us?" Ximen Qi tossed the jade bottle aside, showing a hint of anger, "Whereâs the real elixir?"
Ximen Shuang chuckled, "First uncle, do you truly believe I have the elixir in my possession? Moreover, even if I did have it, wouldnât it be difficult for you to manage right now?"
Ximen Qi said coldly, "So youâre saying, you donât have the Soul Transfer Pill? Do you realize what your actions mean? To toy with the acting family head, youâve committed a grave disrespect!"
"First brother, your temperâs grown!" Ximen Chu sneered, "Save your tantrums for when you become the actual family head. However, Ximen Shuang, do you have the elixir or not? Now isnât the time to be capricious! If you have it, hand it over to save the Family Head; if not, youâll pay for your actions!"
"What kind of consequences?" At this moment, a voice, old but full of vigor, came, "Iâm curious to hear what brilliant ideas you have!"
Ximen Qi and Ximen Chuâs bodies trembled as they turned with incredulous eyes.
Ximen Tian, accompanied by a large group, had already arrived at Ximen Shuangâs residence, coldly observing Ximen Qi and Ximen Chu.
"Father!" Ximen Qi now wore an overwhelmingly joyful expression, "Fatherâs recovery is truly a blessing for the Ximen Family!"
Ximen Chu, eyes brimming with tears, added, "Yes, fatherâs awakening is our delight..."
"Enough, donât these words make you sick?" Ximen Tian said coolly, "Or do you really think Iâve grown senile and donât know what youâve been up to? If you think so, perhaps Iâve failed as Clan Leader!"
Ximen Tianâs words were like a cold bucket of water poured over Ximen Qi and Ximen Chu, leaving them deeply chilledâXimen Familyâs Wolf King had awakened!
