Chapter 1350

Heavenly Samsara: Chapter 100

..

Inside the Xulo clan resting area, a few broken glasses are scattered on the ground as the Grand Elder rages in the room. A few of the servants unluckily were hit and either died or passed out on the ground.

No one dare to stop him and everyone just quietly stood to the side.

"Those mongrels! They dare insult me and threaten my family?! I will kill them all!" he shouted in anger.

If there is no soundproofing spell cast inside the room, then these words would surely make the rest of the family attack them without any prior notice.

It was a blatant threat to the rest of the family which could make one be wary.

"The patriarch is here!" someone called from outside the room.

The Xulo Clan patriarch enters the room and feels a bit worried at his father's reaction. He heard what has happened and is also angry but he could not do anything against any of the families.

"I want that brat killed!" suddenly the Grand Elder stood up and decided.

"But father.."

"No buts.. just make sure that it is untraceable to us.." he said with a sinister expression on his face.

"He dares expose my secrets and even threaten my family.. He could only die, that is the only way I can get over this demon in my heart!" he growled.

"Sigh.. We will do as you say father.." the patriarch said as he bowed.

The people inside the room also walk out leaving only Xulo Qiong and Xulo Yan who are standing by his side.

"Yan'er.. Can you defeat that bastard? Are you confident?" he suddenly asked.

The expression of Xulo Yan is that of confidence as he smiled.

"Grandfather, you don't have to worry about anything.. I, your grandson will defeat that bastard." He said with a smile.historical

"Then before the contest starts, raise the challenge once again. The loser loses their life.." he said with an ugly expression.

"Haha.. Do not worry too much grandpa.. That bastard could not even refine the 5th, 6th, and 7th tier herbs, how could he defeat me?" Xulo Yan scoffed.

"Good! Good! Then I will leave everything in your hands.. I will give you this.." Xulo Qiong did not want to lengthen the life of that bastard Xin Ja so he gave his grandson an artifact.

"What is this grandpa?" he asked.

"This is a soul contract artifact. It is not a very rare artifact but it is crucial when challenging someone so that they could go back on their words.." he then told his grandson how it could be used.

Xulo Yan has been always walking on the border of life and death and has always won his battles, so how could he fear such a bet when his win is already in stone?

..

The next day..

As the alchemists are gathered for the finals and the choosing of the top 20, the crowd in the stadium is feeling rowdy.

They have already placed their bets on their favorite alchemists and most of them have their bet on Master Yo.

As for Xin Ja who failed the many tries in refining, no one bother him. Except for some people that actually placed their bets on him, but this was not noticed by the crowd.

The favorites this time are the Xulo clan young genius, Xulo Yan, the goddess from the Xan clan, Xan Xumi, and the man in the limelight Master Yo. These three are the favorite of the crowd especially Xulo Yan and Xan Xumi as the two are truly attractive.

When Xin Ja and Master Yo appear in the arena, the handsome figure of Xulo Yan has already walked in front of them.

"You dare humiliate my family.. I will now challenge you. Whoever gets the highest placing will win.. and the loser will lose his life!" he said with a glare and a mocking tone.

Xin Ja was a bit taken aback as he did not expect to hear such words immediately. But he is not that surprised as this guy has challenged him already yesterday.

"Hmm.. Alright, I agree, the loser will lose their life." Xin Ja replied confidently.

This made the onlookers look at Xin Ja with pity.

"No! Do not agree with this Master Xin!" Ao Meixi shouted in worry.

Her worried expression did not escape the eyes of Xulo Peng who glared at her.

"What a slut! She would rather be with a servant than a young master like myself!" he scolded under his breath.

Someone suddenly patted his shoulder.

"Calm down.. your younger brother will surely win this. And the woman will be yours sooner than you think.." Xulo Qiong then sits beside Xulo Peng.

Behind him follows the patriarch as he got seated near his son.

When he looks at his eldest son, he could not help but feel a bit disappointed in him. If only he is like his younger brother who is very excellent in many ways.

But he could only wish this in his heart.

"Niece.. calm down.. Trust in the words of Master Xin... You remember who taught and help improve Master Yo, right? If he agrees with this then I think he is confident of his skill." Ao Jixo tried to calm his niece down.

But he could also see a hint of affection in her eyes aside from her worries.

Meanwhile, in the arena, the crowd and the people have become rowdy because of the challenge.

"Wait! I advise you not to go through this dangerous challenge. You two are geniuses of your city. If any of you falls, then that would be a waste of talent of the city.." City Lord Ji Da advised.

The rest of the elders nodded their heads and agrees with him.

"City Lord, esteemed elders,.. my Xulo clan could not live with the humiliation that he has given us. It could only be washed with his death.." Xulo Yan said resolutely.

"Haha.. Although I'm just trying to protect myself from being bullied, I have already agreed with this, so I too wanted this to happen. Plus, I would also like to raise such a challenge to that trash over there.." Xin Ja suddenly pointed at Xulo Peng.

"You might have escaped last time.. Next time, I'll gut you like a pig." Xin Ja said while showing a gutting motion with his thumb.

This has riled up the emotion of every member of the Xulo clan.

"Kill that bastard!" they all shouted in anger.

Ao Jixo seems to have realized something and decide to control his niece.

"Calm down.. He is trying to provoke them. I think he has a plan.." Ao Jixo whispered.

Ao Meixi showed an anxious expression but decide to follow her uncle's decision and kept her words to herself.

Xulo Yan presented the artifact and he wrote the condition of the challenge. Then he drops his blood on the mouth of the artifact. Xin Ja did the same and the artifact suddenly glowed.

As the artifact enters the body of Xin Ja and Xulo Yan, a slight smirk appears on the Grand Elder's mouth.

"What a stupid brat!" he thought.

How could that brat become a great alchemist when he is easily provoked?

That artifact was refined by him and so it is connected to his soul. Once a contract is written on it, and the blood is dripped, he could not have control over the souls of those that enter the contract.

As he closes his eyes, he could suddenly sense his connection with his grandson Xulo Yan.

Then a sinister smile appears on his face as his consciousness travels to Xin Ja.

He did not enter his body, but he just observes the connection.

Once the contract is accomplished, he could easily grab the soul of the brat, and then could know what he knows and learn what he learned.

It is such a crafty artifact that no one knows its secret.

He has reached such a great height in his cultivation because he is able to steal others' cultivation methods using the artifact.

With confidence in his eyes, he now feels excited as he watches the incoming start of the finals.

Not only could they grab one of the top 20, but he could also gain something from that young man whom he suspected held a great secret in his alchemy ability.

He might be lesser than his grandson, yet he is someone who has entered the top 100 so he thinks that it is worth it.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The moment you all have been waiting for! We will not start the selection for the top 20 candidates! Let the contest begin!" shouted the emcee as he gestured for the stage to be opened.

The arena has already been set up where the whole area is connected as one. In the middle is a pile of herbs and around it are the tables for the contestants.

Xin Ja closes his eyes at this time and then concentrated. As he opens his eyes a slight smile appears on his face.

He then looks at the artifact on the table where the judges are seated as he showed a slight interest in that thing.

"A life for a life.. What a sinister object.." he muttered.
