A figure flashed, and an old man in his fifties or sixties appeared in the yard.
This old man's hair is somewhat gray, but he has a majestic body, a stern face, and a pair of tiger eyes that are calm and intimidating. You can tell at a glance that he is someone who has been in a high position for a long time. "Grandpa!" The little fat man who had been lying limply on the ground suddenly shouted loudly.
"Grandpa Patriarch..." Zhao Ying also cried, with a pretty face full of pear blossoms.
"Grandpa, my legs hurt so much!" The little fat man continued to cry: "This slave is so bold that he broke your grandson's legs, ah..."
Clan leader? Yang Zhen was shocked. He knew someone would come looking for him, but he didn't expect it to be the clan leader!
He immediately held the Qingyue Sword tightly in his hand and quietly pointed the tip of the sword at the little fat man.
The person who came was none other than Zhao Yunhe, the patriarch of the Zhao family. He was a monk in the late stage of foundation establishment. He was 230 years old and had been the patriarch for more than fifty years.
He frowned and glanced at the children lying on the ground, then looked at Yang Zhen and the two people who were obviously being held hostage, and couldn't help but get furious!
"Bold!" He shouted violently, and a giant hand appeared out of thin air and grabbed Yang Zhen!
Unexpectedly, when the giant hand was still a foot away from Yang Zhen, the space in front of it shook, and Yang Zhen and the two children suddenly disappeared.
The giant hand grabbed a stone, "click", and the stone broke into several pieces.
The patriarch's eyes widened in surprise: Illusion array?
There is actually a magic array here!
The child looked to be no more than ten years old and had no cultivation base. Where did the phantom formation come from?
Could it be a trap set by some hostile force?
He looked around in confusion, and his consciousness spread out at the same time, but he didn't find anyone else.
"Who are you?" he asked aloud.
Just now, he was discussing important matters with the elders of his clan. Suddenly he received a report that his grandson and a group of children had their legs broken by a servant and were locked up in a yard. He hurried away without having time to ask more questions. Come over.
He had a son when he was two hundred years old, and now he only has a direct grandson like Zhao Yansong. Although he looks a little silly, he is extremely precious.
He is very clear about the nature of his grandson. It is common for him to bully others because of his height and strength. Perhaps he had done something outrageous this time, which made a slave dare to be so rebellious, and finally ended up in someone else's hands.
Naturally, the fewer people who know about such an embarrassing thing, the better it will be dealt with as quickly as possible.
With his strength, there are not many people in Zhuyang County who can surpass him. He must be able to get it done with just one move, but he didn't expect that there is actually a formation here! His majestic Foundation-Building monk's attack actually failed!
…
"Clan leader!" Yang Zhen's voice came from the corner: "I am the adopted son of Mrs. Qin Wanqin, a disciple of the great elder. Just now, the boy had some disputes with them, and he had to take action. Now the boy is so scared. That's why I asked these two young ladies to accompany me. When the great elder arrives, I will definitely surrender and let the clan leader do what he wants. But at this time, please don't force me, clan leader!"
He had been thinking about this sentence for a long time, so although he spoke it quickly, he spoke it very clearly.
"Great Elder? Mrs. Qin?" The patriarch was angry, it's that shrew again!
Of course he knew where these two were today. I don’t know how long it will take for them to come back.
Thinking about what happened at the beginning of this year, if this matter is not dealt with quickly, the shrew will come back and make a fool of herself again.
At the beginning of the year, under this person's pressure, he had to hand over the county to her. Behind his back, he, the leader of the clan, was poked in the back.
The county town is a geomantic treasure, and many people are envious of it! Actually gave a side branch!
"No! We can't wait for the Great Elder to come back to deal with it!" Thinking of this, he made up his mind.
Isn't it just a small illusion array? That’s the breakthrough!
"Boom!" He struck out with a fierce palm. The space in front shook for a while, a large stone shattered, and a corner of the formation suddenly appeared!
"Clan leader——" Yang Zhen became anxious, took out her sword, and stabbed the fat man in the thigh!
"Ah!" Blood spattered out, and the little fat man screamed.
"Clan leader!" Yang Zhen roared: "This kid has a life, if you don't let me wait until the great elder, then don't blame me for the death!"
After saying that, he put his sword to the little fat man's throat: "I want your grandpa to stop, or we will die together!"
"Grandpa!" the little fat man wailed: "Stop fighting, I'm afraid..."
He was actually threatened by an ant! The clan leader was furious, but he didn't dare to take any more random actions. His face was filled with uncertainty, and he was secretly thinking about a way to break the situation.
"Clan leader, calm down -" a shout came from a distance, and a figure in a blue shirt rushed in.
"Patriarch," the person who came was a young man who looked to be in his thirties. He gasped slightly and said with cupped hands: "This kid has caused a big disaster, and he has lost control due to the fear in his heart. It is not a pity for this kid to die, but If it hurts Young Master Song and Miss Ying'er, it's really not worth it. Why not just wait for the First Elder to come back? The First Elder has always dealt with justice, and everyone in the sect knows it, so he will not protect this child..."
I'm afraid Song'er and the others are being unreasonable! The clan leader let out a long sigh. If we had caught this kid just now, made him admit his sins, and handled the matter cleanly, it would be easy for the elder to get angry when he came back. It looks like this now...
But now that someone is here, it is inconvenient for him to continue taking action.
Thinking of this, he said slowly: "Xiao Qi, ask them what's going on."
The person who came was none other than Zhao Qingfeng, the Seventeenth Elder mentioned by Caiyun. He is two generations younger than the clan leader, but in a cultivating immortal family, if we just talk about seniority, ten or eight generations younger are normal. Therefore, they often refer to each other by their job titles or other ways. Because this person ranked seventeenth among the elders, he was often called Xiaoqiu by them.
He was also having a meeting with the clan leader and other elders when he suddenly saw the clan leader abandoning his business and leaving in a hurry. He had already received a summons from Zhao Gui before, so he didn't know what happened. He immediately took a leave of absence and followed the clan leader over.
It's just that his cultivation level is not as good as that of the clan leader, so he comes slower.
He pointed to a child on the ground and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"
"I..." the kid faltered: "He, he knocked us all down."
"That's not what I'm asking! Why are you fighting together?"
"This, this..." The child held it in for a long time, but couldn't hold back a word.
"Elder, let me speak!" Yang Zhen spoke up.
He was eager to delay, so he took his time and told what happened.
Finally, he said: "Patriarch, elders, this is just a fight between a few children. Please forgive me, clan leader and elders. The kid was really scared at that time, worried about his life, so he took a serious step. The kid was willing to accept Punishment.”
"The whole story is already clear," the patriarch said, "In that case, let them go first, and I promise not to take action again."
"This..." Yang Zhen hesitated.
"Young boy Yang," the Seventeenth Elder said, "I am Zhao Gui's master, and I know everything about you. The clan leader has already spoken, and he will not hurt you again. Don't be stubborn, otherwise things will get bigger. , even if the great elder wants to protect you, the matter cannot be solved."
Yang Zhen understood that he could not continue like this forever, and what he needed was a promise of safety. Originally, he wanted to wait until grandma came back, but now he has the assurance from the clan leader and the Seventeenth Elder that his life should be safe. At this point, it would be disrespectful to hold the two hostages tightly.
He let the little fat man go first. The stick tied with the broken leg had already been cut off by the Qingyue Sword, and most of the remaining part was held by the little fat man in his hand, and he limped out. Then the clan leader caught him and entered the healing spell.
The injury on his leg gradually improved as the little fat man yelled "It's so itchy" for a while and panted comfortably for a while.
Yang Zhen immediately grabbed Zhao Ying's hand and slowly helped her out.
Zhao Ying didn't struggle, she just looked at Yang Zhen coldly with a mocking look on her lips.
At this moment, a thunder sounded in the air: "Which cheap slave dares to hurt my granddaughter?"
Following this shout, a middle-aged man burst in. This person's facial features are very regular, but his eyes are full of evil energy and look very vicious.
This man saw Zhao Ying at a glance. He saw her legs were tied up and she had tears in her eyes. The person supporting her was an unknown young man. He immediately said anxiously: "Ying'er, who hurt you?"
After saying that, he looked at Yang Zhen with an unkind expression, and at the same time strode over to this side.
Zhao Ying was already in tears and cried: "Grandpa——"
One hand quietly raised and pointed at Yang Zhen.
The middle-aged man laughed angrily, looking at Yang Zhen as if he were looking at a dead person. Suddenly he stretched out his finger, and a sword light struck Yang Zhen's right shoulder, as if he was going to cut off half of his body!
"Fourth Elder, no!" Zhao Qingfeng was shocked, but he was originally behind the Fourth Elder, and his cultivation was not as good as others, so he could only watch the sword light speed away.
Something bad happened! He lamented repeatedly that the fourth elder was always so reckless. If he killed this young man, how would he explain to the first elder later!
The clan leader was still treating the little fat man. He glanced here, raised his hand slightly, and then lowered it.
Yang Zhen was even more frightened at this moment, feeling a shadow of death covering herself, making it difficult for him to move. It was not that he was defenseless against this middle-aged man, but he didn't expect that the foundation-building monk's spell casting was so fast!
How naive I was! He smiled bitterly inwardly.
Just when he was despairing and regretting, a white light rushed out from his arms, hit the sword light with a "bang", and then exploded, pushing him backwards with huge force.
At the critical moment, he held Zhao Ying's left hand and pulled it tighter. He pulled the girl back together and rolled around, just in time to return to the formation.
"Clan leader!" Yang Zhen said angrily: "Is this the guarantee you gave me?"
The clan leader was annoyed. He didn't like this kid at all, and he really had the idea of sitting aside just now. Anyway, the sword move could not kill him. As for the broken arm, he wished someone could take it out on his behalf.
However, Yang Zhen called it out at this time, and he could no longer pretend to ignore it. What's more, he could clearly see that what blocked the fourth elder's sword light was the great elder's token! This boy, with the Great Elder's Black Iron Order on his body, must be someone she values extremely. He also has formation skills and can defeat a monk in the middle stage of Qi training, which is very extraordinary.
This boy cannot be treated as an ordinary lowly slave. It is better to wait for the great elder to deal with this matter.
Thinking of this, he said: "Fourth Elder, this son has been convinced by Shi Qi and I and is about to bring Ying'er out. Why are you so reckless?"
The middle-aged Fourth Elder missed a single blow and recognized it as the Great Elder's token. Seeing the clan leader's persuasion, he had no choice but to stop his hand in dismay and shouted sharply:
"Boy, let Yinger go quickly, I will spare your life!"
Yang Zhen has already suffered a loss once, how could she be fooled again? No matter how the four elders intimidated, threatened, or made promises, he was determined not to come out this time and had to wait until the great elder came back.
Finally, the fourth elder couldn't bear it anymore: "Boy, how long can you hide in this formation?"
After that, he struck out with a palm, using the same technique as the clan leader just now, actually trying to break it by force with his cultivation.
"Boom", after an earth-shattering sound, countless gravels fell like rain, and the figures of Yang Zhen and Zhao Ying were revealed, and the entire illusion array was already gone.
"Huh!" Qingyue sword pressed against Zhao Ying's neck.
"Fourth Elder!" Yang Zhen shouted fiercely: "If you make any move, you can collect the body of your granddaughter!"
After saying that, the sword pressed against the girl's neck.
His eyes were red, veins popped out on his face, he was angry and nervous. The palms of my hands were wet with sweat.
At the same time, he looked at the clan leader again, his eyes widened angrily:
"Clan leader, we can't do it again. This man has repeatedly threatened me. Do you really want to make this place spattered with blood?"
The clan leader sighed and stood in front of the fourth elder, with his back to Yang Zhen. This time nothing could be said to make him take action.
Seeing the clan leader's obstruction, the fourth elder knew clearly that it was no longer possible to come, but how could he be manipulated like this by a fool? Immediately, he turned his head to one side and sent out a spiritual attack silently.
Without the interference of the illusory formation, this divine attack hit Yang Zhen directly.
Yang Zhen suddenly felt a sharp stabbing pain in his mind, as if someone had stabbed his brain with a sharp knife, making him almost roar in pain. But then, the stinging pain disappeared, leaving only waves of aftermath, still aching.
He still doesn't understand that this is being plotted against.
Yang Zhen was furious. This man had repeatedly attacked her. Do you really think she didn't dare to do it?
With a swipe of his hand, a stream of blood spurted out from Zhao Ying's neck.
"Fourth Elder," he said with a cold tone, "There will be no next time. My sword will not be so soft next time..."
Zhao Ying was frightened. She almost thought she would die with Yang Zhen's sword strike just now.
Her whole body went limp and her whole body collapsed. If Yang Zhen hadn't grabbed her tightly with one hand like an iron plier, she would have collapsed to the ground.
"Grandpa -" she burst into tears and her voice was hoarse: "Stop! This man is a lunatic. Don't mess with him anymore. Grandpa, I, Yinger, please..."
The fourth elder's spiritual attack did not achieve any success, and he was extremely surprised. Why is this child, who clearly has no cultivation, so weird? Could it be that he still has a treasure on his body that can withstand the attack of divine consciousness? Who is this person?
He no longer dared to act rashly and his tone slowed down:
"Please release Yinger. I, Zhao Yunya, swear to God that I will never touch a hair of yours again. Yinger's neck is bleeding and she needs to be healed quickly, otherwise she will be in danger if she drags on for too long."
Yang Zhen sneered, it was impossible to let him go, but...
He pressed his body against Zhao Ying, let go of her hand, pulled hard, and tore off a piece of cloth from his body.
Then, using one hand, he circled the girl's neck twice.
Seeing Yang Zhen doing this, the clan leader and the middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that this person was not a vicious person, and he was really pushed hard by himself.
Both of them felt a little regret in their hearts, they shouldn't have forced this son so hard. But thinking that as the elder of the family, he couldn't do anything to this kid, it was really embarrassing to talk about it.
Unfortunately, at this time, many people had already entered the yard one after another, many of them important figures in the family. Zhao Dezhu was also very capable. After telling the clan leader, he also informed the elders who had descendants in the courtyard about the matter, so they all rushed over.
Naturally, Feng Sisi and Zhao Gui are also here, and he is also here, and...
He came in holding Caiyan’s hand!
What kind of melon is this? Yang Zhen, who was in a dangerous situation, couldn't help but open her eyes wide...
These people squeezed into the courtyard, and it was suddenly noisy inside. Some people were busy treating the juniors lying on the ground, and some were clamoring to rush over to save people. Especially Feng Sisi, who was gnashing his teeth and almost bumped into him.
These were all stopped one by one by the clan leader. He really didn't want to irritate Yang Zhen anymore.
In the midst of this commotion, someone felt something and raised their head and looked back.
I saw a spaceship speeding towards me in the distant sky.
The great elder and his party finally arrived.
