How on earth did this end up here!?

Tang Luo, originally indifferent to the auction, was accompanying Xu Shuhui as a favor. However, the appearance of the third item up for bid left him flabbergasted.

The glowing jade pendant that Xiao Zheng held high in his hand was the very one that Tang Luo had lost to Fang Han.

How could this appear here. With a furrowed brow, Tang Luo was utterly perplexed.

But he wasnt the only one shocked by the sight of the jade pendant. The elder Xu, seating beside him, stood abruptly with a face of surprise. He took a few steps out of the VIP room and pressed himself against the railing as he stared at the precious jade that Xiao Zheng held.

Equipped with the Tongming Sword Body, Saint Hans vision exceeded that of a hawk. To him, the square-shaped jade pendant looked as clear as if it were held just before his eyes. After confirming it several times, he was certain that the white jade held by Xiao Zheng was indeed the Boundary Breaking Stone of the Han Family!

I cant believe the rumors were true thought the elder Xu to himself, in a mix of awe and thrill.

He returned to the room and sternly said to Xu Shuhui: Aunt, we must get this item!

Tang Luo furrowed his brows at his cousins sudden change of demeanor, though he wasnt clear as to why the elder Xu had taken a keen interest in Fang Hans jade pendant.

But he knew anything that could make high-status individuals like them take seriously must be of significant origin so he asked: What is it?

The elder Xu didnt shift his gaze from the white jade in Xiao Zhengs hands as he casually answered, The Boundary Breaking Stone of the Han Family.

At the mention of the Boundary Breaking Stone, Xu Shuhuis face changed and she solemnly nodded: Understood.

Noting the coded conversation between his mother and cousin, Tang Luo couldnt help his curiosity: Mom, what is this Boundary Breaking Stone and what is this Han Family that youre mentioning?

Xu Shuhui was at a loss for a response to Tang Luos straightforward question. As a descendant of the saintly Xu Clan, their female lineage was under strict restrictions to ensure that their secrets remained hidden. She knew the answer, but she couldnt say a word.bender

Seeing the awkward position his aunt was in, the elder Xu casually explained to Tang Luo, The Han Family was founded by Saint Han. The Boundary Breaking Stone is the key to their treasury in the Minor Spiritual Realm.

Oh?? Tang Luos eyebrows twitched with uncertainty.

As someone who was well-versed in the history of the continent, what the elder Xu said didnt match what he read in the books.

In the era where saints emerged, there were a few that shone brightly specifically, Saint Bu, Saint Xu, and Saint Han.

These three were powerful beings capable of obliterating an entire region singlehandedly, they were saints among saints. And in particular, Saint Han who once proclaimed, Until the beasts are eradicated, there will be no peace, cto be known as War Saint.

According to historical records, War Saint did not start a family nor have any descendants. He dedicated his life to the cause of exterminating the monstrous beasts, driving them all out of Zhongzhou. But during his campaign against the Endless Sea, he encountered the Dragon Clan and died.

But based on what his cousin said, reality seemed to be different from the records. So Tang Luo asked, Didnt Saint Han have no descendants and a family of his own?

Is that how the history books recorded it? Replied the elder Xu with confounding anger and regret etched on his face.

Nodding, Tang Luo continued: The history books also claimed that Saint Han died during a battle against the Dragon Clan. Thats incorrect too, isnt it?

Hmph, the An Family. Elder Xu sneered disdainfully.

From the elder Xus reaction, Tang Luo could already tell that history had been significantly distorted. Yet he wondered how enormous a power was needed to hide a noble familys existence.

Just as the two were discussing the mysteries of the continents history, Xiao Zheng, with a gleeful smile on his face, carefully put the jade pendant, radiating a milky white glow, back into its box and declared, The third item for tonights auction is this precious jade. As even I dont recognize it, the bidding will start from 100,000 gold coins! Feel free to bid.

Mysterious items often stirred everyones curiosity the most. A piece of precious jade, unrecognized even by big players like Xiao Zheng, starting at just 100,000 coins to take home, undoubtedly ignited the crowds interest. Bidding amounts of 5,000 gold and 10,000 gold cin rapid succession; the price quickly escalated to 200,000 gold.

Seeing so many people interested in the Boundary Breaking Stone, the elder Xu was eager to bid, only for his hand to get pushed down by Tang Luo.

What are you doing? Reluctantly shaking off Tang Luos hand, the elder Xu questioned puzzledly.

With a casual expression, Tang Luo responded, Why the rush? Let others bid for a while first. Are you afraid that anyone here will be wealthier than us?

By all rights, a scion of a saintly family shouldnt be so worried. But it was evident from his urgency that this Boundary Breaking Stone of the Han family suggests a considerably large matter.

Although Tang Luo kept a calm face, his mind was filled with turbulent thoughts, for this jade pendant had significant ties with him.

If the Han family is a marvelous recluse family, and he accidentally killed their lost son, it would lead to an outche least wanted to see. Luckily, there was only Yuan Zhun who witnessed him killing Fang Han.

Now, all he needs to find out is where Xiao Zheng got this jade pendant from, the one that should have been buried on the banks of Lingjiang.

Although the elder Xus hand was held down by Tang Luo from raising his bid, his heart was still fixated on the auction. His eyes stared intently, and with every new bid, his eyelids jumped. It was enough to show how much he cared for this Boundary Breaking Stone.

Tang Luo laughed and patted his shoulder, Relax, dont panic. The bidding will last for a while yet. In the meantime, tellmore about the Han Clan.

Why are you so curious about the Han Family? the elder Xu wondered, sensing his cousins seriousness beneath his lighthearted words.

Didnt mean anything by it. Tang Luo spread his hands, Just because I killed the descendant of the Han clan in Xiling.

What did you say? The elder Xu was taken aback, disregarding the bidding for the Boundary Breaking Stone; he stared wide-eyed at Tang Luo.

Rattled by Tang Luos words, Xu Shuhui asked, How could that be, Luo Er, stop joking.

Seeing the tense expressions on their faces, Tang Luo teased, Why would I joke about this? That jade pendant didnt even glow before. I even buried it with the corpse, but somehow it ended up on Xiao Zheng.

Then theres no mistake, said elder Xu seriously, The Han Familys Boundary Breaking Stone requires the blood sacrifice of a direct descendant to activate, after which it shines brightly for ten years.

With a carefree smile, Tang Luo asked, So tell me, just how formidable is this Han family? Do I need to make my escape in advance?

Looking at his cousins carefree expression, elder Xu sighed, You killed a beacon of a noble family and youre not even slightly worried?

Hey Tang Luo waved his hand dismissively, I didnt know he was of noble lineage back then, but even if I did

Then what?

Hed still have to die..
