"That's Huayue."
Zhao Zhen nodded as he listened, his eyes becoming colder, "It seems that I should have gotten rid of him when we were at Qilin Tower three days ago."
Hearing this, Pei Tianqiong's eyes flashed and he said calmly, "It is impossible to make the Yanyu Pavilion Kongwu Realm killer come forward with just one Huayue."
"oh?"
Zhao Zhen narrowed his eyes, "So it seems that the top brass of the Hua family want to get rid of me?"
As soon as these words came out, Pei Tianqiong didn't say anything more and just remained silent.
But Zhao Zhen knew that Pei Tianqiong had acquiesced.
Pei Tianqiong's acquiescence naturally made Zhao Zhen's eyes even colder.
He knew that this was probably the truth.
The top brass of the Hua family want his life!
…
And while Zhao Zhen and Pei Tianqiong were talking, at this moment, Longjing East City, Guanren Alley.
All the people in Longjing know that Guanren Lane is the gathering place for many dignitaries in Longjing. Any mansion here is inhabited by high officials of the imperial court. Therefore, the people of Longjing have always been in awe of this place, let alone Dare to step in easily.
But similarly, for the dignitaries who live in Guanren Alley, there are also places in Guanren Alley that they are in awe of and dare not step into easily.
And this place is the central area of Guanren Lane, the Hua Family Mansion!
The Hua family is a top family. It can be said that in the entire Dragon Continent, excluding the Jinglong Immortal Sect and the Star Gate Alliance, the Hua family is the most powerful and powerful.
The officials of the Natural Dragon Court have always been in awe of the Hua family, just as the common people revere them, and they dare not easily step into the surroundings of the Hua family's mansion.
However, in recent days, several court officials have been coming in and out of the Hua family residence.
Until today, no one has entered the Hua family mansion.
At this moment, behind the Hua family's mansion, there was an elegant courtyard.
Two figures were sitting opposite each other.
And among these two people, one of them had a middle-aged face and majestic eyes. Just sitting there, he exuded a demeanor as stable as a mountain.
The other person has silver hair and an old face, but his eyes are not as cloudy as an ordinary old man should be, but are extremely bright, as if they contain infinite spirit.
"Dad, things failed."
At this time, the middle-aged man glanced at the old man and whispered something.
The old man didn't say anything. He just picked up the teacup and began to drink tea slowly.
When there was only half a cup of tea left, the old man put down the tea cup, breathed out gently and said, "Well, since we have failed, there is no need to continue."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man frowned and whispered again, "But we have already done it. Is it too late to stop?"
"It's not too late, as long as no one dies, it's not too late."
The old man shook his head slightly, and a gleam flashed in his eyes, "The most important thing is that even if we want to continue, we probably won't succeed."
The middle-aged man's expression froze, but he reacted the next moment and nodded, "Well, my father is right. Since we failed this time, the Master Xiao of the Immortal Sect will definitely take precautions. If we want to succeed again, , the possibility is very small, but..."
"But what?"
"But what should I do about Ronger?"
The middle-aged man's face became a little solemn, "I can be sure that Xiao Guanlan has now found out that he is the Yanyu Pavilion killer we hired, so he will definitely tell Ronger about it. Then..."
"She can make whatever request she wants, as long as it doesn't meet the bottom line."
The old man said calmly, which made the middle-aged man stunned, but then he nodded.
He knew that this was the price of failure, and he had to bear it even if he didn't want to.
At this time, the old man picked up the tea cup again and sipped it.
After the remaining half of the cup of tea was gone, the old man said to the middle-aged man again, "What do you think of that child?"
The middle-aged man was silent for a while, and then he said seriously, "Tian Zong is talented and has a bright future. He is even as good as Tian'er."
"Are they on par with Tian'er?"
The old man murmured, and then took a long breath, with a trace of bitterness on his face.
"But why is he the stain on our family?"
Hearing this, the middle-aged man was speechless and just lowered his head.
The old man looked at the sky outside bitterly, his eyes full of complexity.
After a long time, the old man withdrew his gaze, shook his head and said, "That's it. The past has passed. There is no point in bringing it up again. We still have to focus on the present."
"That's what dad said."
The middle-aged man nodded respectfully.
"At the moment, the most important thing is the Land Realm Competition, so let Tian'er come back."
A flash of light flashed in the old man's eyes, "When he comes back, we will directly fulfill the engagement."
"yes."
The middle-aged man nodded.
"Also, let Huayue be honest."
The old man looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Hua Yue, this kid, is quite talented, but his character is too bad. It's because you didn't teach him well."
Sweat suddenly broke out on the middle-aged man's forehead, and he lowered his head and said, "What Dad said is that there have been too many things over the years, and I have indeed neglected to discipline Hua Yue."
"There is no need to say these words. My request is very simple, that is, don't let Hua Yue cause trouble to Hua Tian."
The old man waved his hand and his eyes suddenly became solemn, "You should know the importance of Tian'er to the family."
"Yes, father, I know."
The middle-aged man nodded again.
"Well, then you go ahead."
After hearing this answer, the old man waved his hand, which made the middle-aged man sigh in relief. He stood up and saluted the old man again before bowing respectfully.
But the old man was still sitting there, his eyes changing.
"Grandson..."
"Oh, what a bad fate..."
In a thatched house in Guanlan Hall.
At this moment, Zhao Zhen suddenly let out a sigh of relief.
Through Pei Tianqiong's reminder, he has now confirmed that the assassination was arranged by the top brass of the Hua family.
Although he didn't know why the Hua family wanted to kill him so much, it didn't matter anymore.
The important thing is that the other party has done it, so the next thing he has to consider is naturally how to get revenge. ..m
Of course, before considering revenge, what he had to do was to strengthen himself. After all, he couldn't compete with the Hua family now, so he didn't think much about it. He just looked at Pei Tianqiong and said again, "Senior Pei, can you Answer my previous question? Are the people I'm asking you to protect me my parents?"
Pei Tianqiong still didn't answer this question, just silent.
Zhao Zhen looked directly at Pei Tianqiong this time, as if he insisted on letting Pei Tianqiong say it.
After a moment, as if he couldn't stand Zhao Zhen's eyes, Pei Tianqiong suddenly shook his head, "You look so much like your father."
Zhao Zhen's eyes immediately lit up, "My dad..."
"I won't tell you the answer to the question you just asked."
Interrupting Zhao Zhen's words, Pei Tianqiong said lightly, "But I can tell you some other answers."
"Another answer?"
Zhao Zhen was stunned.
"Well, you come with me."
Pei Tianqiong said lightly, and then pointed his finger into the void. Suddenly, the space in the room began to distort, and a black space passage was instantly formed!
"Is this the power of the Kongwu Realm? Create space passages anytime and anywhere!"
Zhao Zhen was also shocked. Of course, he didn't waste time and followed Pei Tianqiong into the space channel.
As soon as he entered it, Zhao Zhen felt his eyes blur. When the scene in front of him settled down again, he found that he was already standing in the void.
In front of him, there was a huge staircase made entirely of white marble.
This staircase leads directly to the depths of the endless white clouds in the sky, giving people an extremely shocking feeling.
"This is the ladder to heaven."
At this time, Pei Tianqiong's voice sounded, "If you want to enter the Immortal Sect, you must climb the ladder to heaven, so go up."
Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect that Pei Tianqiong actually planned to take him into the Immortal Sect.
Of course, he didn't ask any more questions. He completely trusted Pei Tianqiong because he had saved his life twice. Naturally, he moved directly to the ladder and started walking.
But as soon as he stepped onto the ladder, Zhao Zhen felt a pressure.
This pressure has nothing to do with formations or strength.
But a kind of loneliness.
It seems that walking on this ladder is walking on the loneliest road in the world.
The higher you go, the lonelier you will be, and the lonelier you will be, the more frightened you will be.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhen was not afraid, he just felt lonely.
Most importantly, he doesn't hate being alone.
Because from the moment he awakened the Spiritual Root of Ten Thousand Swords and understood the Great Sword, he knew that the strong were lonely.
If you want to become stronger, you have to endure loneliness and even enjoy loneliness.
So he was in a very calm mood.
Even the further you go up, the calmer you get.
The slight pressure that was there even gradually disappeared as he walked.
This naturally made him go faster and faster.
Pei Tianqiong, who was next to Zhao Zhen, was also looking at Zhao Zhen.
When he found out that Zhao Zhen was a little surprised at first, but after adapting so quickly, a smile flashed in his eyes.
It seemed that he was satisfied with Zhao Zhen's average performance.
Of course, he didn't say anything. He walked as fast as Zhao Zhen walked.
Half an hour later, when Zhao Zhen crossed a cloud again, Zhao Zhen finally stopped.
At the same time, a flash of shock flashed across his eyes.
But in front of him, a large and continuous group of palaces appeared!
Moreover, every palace in this palace complex has great meaning.
Some palaces are as dark as ink, with a deep and cold atmosphere.
Some palaces are colorful and full of life.
There are also palaces that are blazing red, as if they contain a volcano.
There are even more palaces that are covered in blood, exuding an extremely vicious power.
Logically speaking, if these palaces with different auras are arranged together, there will definitely be a conflict of power.
But what Zhao Zhen sensed was completely different. He only felt a sense of harmony and harmony.
It seems that these palaces with different atmospheres should be arranged in this way.
"How does it feel?"
At this time, Pei Tianqiong asked Zhao Zhen.
"Sleek, perfect."
Zhao Zhen said something immediately, his eyes changing, "But if so many opposite forces can be so harmonious, it means that this is a formation."
