The appearance of my father's name somewhat disrupted my plans.
I quickly left the base camp of the Yuan family in Runan and also left the Taiqing Palace in Luyi.
On a national highway outside the county town of Luyi, there are no cars or people.
The cold wind hit me, and I felt countless dangerous breaths gradually coming to my head.
It was as if ordinary people were being stared at by countless hungry and ferocious beasts.
This place is just outside Luyi County.
I don’t know if there is a specific location outside the city on that wreath and elegiac couplet, and that’s the limit of how far I can leave Luyi.
The danger that will fall on me is approaching at any moment, and my eyes are fixed on the darkness in front of me.
Not long after, a figure actually came from the darkness.
The figure got closer and closer, and his face gradually became clearer.
My pupils shrank and my face became slightly frozen.
Not my father Chen Daoling...
It was Yuan Zhengfa, the old patriarch of the Yuan clan in Runan!
His body was flashing in the darkness like a ghost, but at this moment, a large truck with high beams on suddenly arrived. The dazzling headlights illuminated Yuan Zhengfa's body clearly. He was not a ghost, he was The body is a real entity.
"drop---"
The large truck seemed to be about to hit Yuan Zhengfa, so it honked the horn frantically.
But Yuan Zhengfa seemed not to hear it and continued to stroll around.
Just when they were about to collide, Yuan Zhengfa's figure disappeared from the front of the large truck. In the blink of an eye, he came to me.
The large truck whizzed past us, and we knew without even thinking that the driver of the truck was probably breaking out in a cold sweat.
"Chen Qi...little friend..."
Yuan Zhengfa spoke up.
"Old patriarch, are you still alive?"
I frowned and asked.
"As you can see, I'm still alive..." Yuan Zhengfa said, his words seeming to be full of energy.
This is much better than any time I saw him before.
"Fake death?"
I asked.
"That's right, haha." Yuan Zhengfa chuckled, and then he said with unclear meaning: "I want to do something big for the nobles at last."
"What's the big deal?"
I frowned and asked.
"Let me, the Runan Yuan Clan, have no worries for a hundred years. No matter whether I am still here or not, no matter whether there will continue to be fourth-grade cultivators in my Runan Clan, I will not be bullied by any outsiders. I, the Runan Yuan Clan, will still be One of the strongest noble clans.”
Yuan Zhengfa said in a deep voice.
"It seems that the old patriarch has many plans, and he has also plotted against me."
I spoke out.
I am a little curious about what he is saying at this moment, but what I want to know more is about the things I have been exposed to myself.
Yuan Zhengfa looked at me with calm eyes and said, "I feel a little sorry for Xiaoyou Chen, but in fact, except for you at this moment, there is no one in the world who knows that I am not dead, including the current patriarch of our clan. , Yuan Jing."
"Why didn't you tell him?" I asked.
Yuan Zhengfa replied to me: "I told him that I can no longer pretend to be so full of sadness and hatred. There are countless masters among the nobles in this world, and I don't know how many smart people are almost as smart as demons. My deceit is..." Death won’t work.”
What exactly is Yuan Zhengfa going to do?
From his tone, it seems like he wants to deal with the other noble clans?
"About the matter of life extension that day, it's time for the old patriarch to explain to me, right?"
I then didn't go into the detailed reasons why he faked his death, but directly asked about my previous confusion.
"No rush, let me tell you first why I cheated my death."
Yuan Zhengfa spoke.
"Can."
Hearing this, I said.
Step by step, now that I have met Yuan Zhengfa, I think I can get the answers to everything I should know.
Yuan Zhengfa then asked me: "Do you know which other noble clan today has a fourth-grade cultivator?"
I shook my head.
"No, not one."
Yuan Zhengfa said: "On the surface, among the nobles in the world, only my Runan family, the Yuan family, has a fourth-grade cultivator."
My pupils are shrinking...what?
This was a bit beyond my expectation. During this period of time, I learned about the terror of fourth-grade cultivators, but I really didn’t expect that the world’s nobles did not even have fourth-grade cultivators.
No matter how rare the number of the fourth grade is, it won’t be like this, right?
Soon, Yuan Zhengfa answered my questions again.
"Everything in this world has both positive and negative effects. I think that as a little friend, I have a deep understanding of this. A fourth-grade cultivator is a deterrent, but he will also become the target of public criticism. For example, I, the Yuan family of Runan, have a big tree that attracts the wind. ah……"
Yuan Zhengfa said slowly: "So, it's not that there are no fourth-grade mystic cultivators among the noble clans in the world, but every noble clan has hidden fourth-grade mystical cultivators!"
I suddenly thought of what Mr. Yao said to me before.
Among the noble clan, anyone's realm after reaching the sixth level is a secret.
Then, I told this matter.
Yuan Zhengfa nodded and said: "Yes, keeping secret the strength of any cultivator after the sixth level is something that the nobles will do nowadays, and the important reason for this must be traced back a hundred years. Come forward..."
Then, Yuan Zhengfa slowly told what happened that year.
"A hundred years ago, there was such a noble clan, and a top-notch fourth-grade cultivator appeared. This noble clan was unprecedentedly powerful. Not only did it occupy a lot of energy sources, but there were also many talents in the clan. All the noble clans in the world were in awe."
"The birth of a fourth-grade cultivator requires not only excellent talent, but also the right time and place, and many other influences. Sometimes, a fourth-grade cultivator may not appear for hundreds of years, which also causes Well, during a certain period of time in the history of the noble clan, perhaps, all the noble clans were in the vacancy period of fourth-grade cultivators..."
"A hundred years ago, during this period of vacancy, except for the unprecedentedly powerful noble clan who had a top fourth-grade cultivator, no other noble clan had a fourth-grade cultivator."
"The noble clan at that time could be said to be unparalleled in the limelight and controlled almost 50% of the world's resources. However, under this limelight, it must have been coveted and evil-minded by most of the noble clans!"
"Not long after, almost 80% of the nobles in the world gathered together secretly to secretly deal with this noble clan with a fourth-grade cultivator. They used all dirty methods, including all dirty tricks. come out!"
"One punch is hard to beat with four hands. Under the siege of many nobles, the fourth-level cultivator of this powerful noble family finally fell. And this unprecedentedly powerful noble family had to spit out most of the resources it had."
When I said this, I clearly saw a fierce light flashing in Yuan Zhengfa's eyes! A fierce light that coexists murderous intent and hatred!
At this moment, an idea came to my mind...
Then, I said: "So because of this lesson learned, no noble clan will expose their own fourth-grade cultivator?"
"Yes! Between intimidating others and preventing being targeted, almost all nobles chose the latter."
Yuan Zhengfa gradually returned to normal, and he said solemnly: "The bloody storm a hundred years ago... that powerful noble clan, not only died a top fourth-rank member, but also the fifth-rank, sixth-rank members, and more than half of the clan. All the clansmen are also dead, it can be said that overnight, they fell from the clouds to the bottom of the valley!"
"If there are no nobles in the future who dare to gamble again, if they become the target of public criticism and are plotted by all the major nobles together again, the price will be too high."
I nodded, but I asked curiously: "If that's the case, why did you expose your strength?"
"I have no choice..."
Yuan Zhengfa said helplessly: "The world of the nobles is strange and powerful. There are so many people who possess mysterious and mysterious skills. After I reached the fourth rank, I don't know how many nobles used powerful secrets to explore my life." strength."
"Some clan leaders even came to find out my true identity at the cost of losing their lifespan. In this case, I can't hide much about my level of strength. In the end, I can only announce the news that I have entered the fourth level. .”
And when Yuan Zhengfa said this, the idea that just occurred to me became clearer and clearer.
I then asked: "Why is this? There are so many noble families in the world, why are they targeting you? Why are they targeting the Yuan family in Runan?"
Yuan Zhengfa smiled.
Then, he said in a deep voice: "Because the unprecedentedly powerful noble clan a hundred years ago was my Runan Yuan clan! That top fourth-grade cultivator is the clan leader of my Runan Yuan clan!"
When my thoughts were confirmed, my facial muscles tightened unconsciously!
At this moment, the dead body lying in the mourning hall of "Yuan Zhengfa" was the top fourth-grade cultivator of the Yuan clan in Runan a hundred years ago!
