Cui Xiaolian was suppressed and fell to his knees. No matter how he roared and struggled, he could no longer stand up, as if there was a mountain of 100,000 on his body.
What a powerful method!
Cheng Ling was secretly shocked. After all, Cui Xiaolian was a nine-star ghost king, but he was suppressed as easily as an ant. There was no room for resistance. Furthermore, the relationship between him and Bai Yu was broken so easily. Taoism, how high should the cultivation level of the person who takes action be?
Buzz!
At this time, a golden portal suddenly appeared in the sky. As soon as it appeared, the divine light spread out, billowing with auspicious energy, magnificent and vast.
Immediately, a series of majestic figures walked out of the golden portal, like rounds of scorching sun appearing, lighting up the entire sky!
The leader was an old man with an ice-like temperament, a tall figure, and white beard and hair. Wisps of golden light rained from his body, intertwined into the power of law, and filled the world, as if the legendary saint was coming.
"Greetings to the ancestor!"
With a crash, all the Cui clan members present fell to their knees, with awe written on their faces. Obviously, this old man is Cui Zhongyi, the ancestor of the Cui family!
A supreme being who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Emperor Huangquan, Master Mengpo Hall, and Yama of the Tenth Hall!
As for the majestic figures behind Cui Zhongyi, they should undoubtedly be those ancient antiques that have never been seen in the world. This is the true power of the Cui family, which is terrifying and shocking, intimidating all directions.
Among the people present, Cheng Ling and Bai Yu were the only ones who did not bow down, which made them stand out.
"Today is the day when my Cui family worships their ancestors. You two guests, please go to the VIP Pavilion to rest for the time being."
Cui Zhongyi's gaze was like a golden blade that could tear the heaven and the earth apart. He swept down and landed on Cheng Ling and Bai Yu. It struck both of them with panic in their hearts and they felt a terrifying pressure.
"Lao Liu, take them away."
"Yes, ancestor!"
Cui Xiaoxin stood up, came to Cheng Ling and Bai Yu, and sent a message: "Let's leave for now. With the ancestor here, Hua Yi will not have any accidents."
Cheng Ling and Bai Yu looked at Cui Yiyi, and when they saw the latter nodded, they immediately followed Cui Xiaoxin and left.
Cui family, VIP Pavilion.
After Cui Xiaoxin led Cheng Ling and Bai Yu here, he hurried away. As one of the top leaders of the Cui family, he had to attend the ancestor worship ceremony.
Cheng Ling and Bai Yu were the only two people left in the spacious and luxurious hall.
Cheng Ling took out the Sanhua Qingye wine and drank it silently while recalling all the details since entering Cui's mansion.
"Ms. sir..." Bai Yu hesitated for a long time and stopped talking.
From the moment she entered the VIP Pavilion, she seemed to have something on her mind and refused to say a word. Now she finally couldn't help but speak. Seeing her like this, Cheng Ling couldn't help but smile and said, "It's just you and me here. If you have anything to say, it doesn't matter."
There was a trace of self-deprecation on Bai Yuying's lips, and she said after a while: "I don't know if I am too sensitive, but I always feel that Hua Yi changes too fast, which makes me feel strange."
"She has indeed changed. How can an eleven or twelve-year-old girl who has gone through so many hardships be the same as before?"
Bai Yu raised her head, stared at Cheng Ling, and suddenly said: "Then do you feel that things have changed since you entered Fengyaju?"
Cheng Ling remained silent. This was also the problem he was thinking about just now.
Bai Yu continued: "After you sent us to Fengyaju, Cui Hong came. For a long time, Cui Yiyi was alone with him, and then he called me over."
Cheng Ling nodded silently, as if he understood something.
Just when the two sides were fighting, Cui Zhongyi, the ancestor of the Cui family, and a group of old antiques had already appeared. If he and Bai Yu had not displayed the meaning of the other side at the same time, Cui Zhongyi might not have taken action for fear that the Cui family's children would suffer too much. .
This situation made Cheng Ling feel that everything that happened before was part of the plan of these old Cui family members.
This feeling made him feel a little uncomfortable, so after entering the VIP Pavilion, he had been thinking silently. At this time, Bai Yu spoke up, and he finally understood that his feeling was not wrong.
"All in all, I feel like I've been deceived." Bai Yu frowned and thought for a long time before coming to a conclusion.
Cheng Ling looked up at her and said nothing more.
At this time, there was a sound of footsteps outside the VIP Pavilion. Along with the footsteps, a skinny old man with a hunchback and a stick, with green beard and green hair, walked over. It was Uncle Wen.
"Two Taoist friends, I'm sorry for disturbing you." Uncle Wen said with a smile.
Bai Yu was stunned and glanced at Cheng Ling.
Cheng Ling said calmly: "Don't get me wrong, this Uncle Wen is different from Cui Xiaolian. If not, the previous fight between Uncle Wen and I would not have ended so easily."
Uncle Wen laughed and said: "You are so humble, fellow Taoist. With your strength, even if I don't hold back, I'm afraid I won't be your opponent."
He was telling the truth. Although he only exchanged one blow with Cheng Ling, the other party's unfathomable power made him feel a little palpitated.
This feeling, for him, an old monster who has lived for tens of thousands of years, has not happened for many years. Therefore, when talking to Cheng Ling, he did not dare to be superior, let alone claim to be a senior.
Seeing this, Bai Yu finally understood that Uncle Wen and Cui Xiaolian were not in the same group, and they had secretly flirted with each other in the previous confrontation.
"Uncle Wen won't attend the ancestor worship ceremony?" Cheng Ling asked after sitting down again.
"I am just a guest. I am not a member of the Cui clan, so I am naturally not qualified to participate."
Uncle Wen smiled and shook his head, and continued: "This time the young lady is able to return safely, and I would like to thank the two Taoist friends for protecting me all the way. I have been told by my ancestor that if you have any needs, please feel free to ask them. I hope you two will accept my humble kindness as Mr. Cui."
Cheng Ling raised his eyebrows.
Bai Yu could no longer hold back and said coldly: "Do you think we escorted Miss Cui back for some reward?"
In her opinion, the other party seemed to regard all this as a deal, and after the deal was over, they planned to drive them away, which was chilling.
Uncle Wen seemed to have anticipated this scene, and immediately explained: "This fellow Taoist has misunderstood. This is just the intention of our Cui family. I am afraid that I will neglect you two, but I have no other intentions."
Bai Yu frowned and was about to say something, but Cheng Ling signaled to stop her.
He said calmly: "Thank you is not necessary, I am just curious about how Cui will deal with Cui Xiaolian."
Uncle Wen pondered for a moment, then revealed a cryptic smile on his lips and said, "Actually, the fate of the third elder has already been determined. Now that the young lady is back, he will naturally be of no use."
This sentence is thought-provoking, but what kind of people Cheng Ling and Bai Yu are, they guessed the key in a flash, and instantly, their hearts felt cold.
What does this sentence mean?
It's very simple. If Cui Yiyi comes back, then Cui Xiaolian must die, because everything Cui Xiaolian has done has already been seen by the high-ranking figures in the Cui family!
"So, for Miss Cui, or for the entire Cui family, the third elder is just a whetstone?" Bai Yu pursed her lips lightly and spoke slowly, without any emotion in her voice.
"That's understandable." Uncle Wen nodded, not shying away from it.
"In fact, you already know all the hardships Miss Cui encountered along the way?" Bai Yu's pair of clear eyes couldn't help but narrowed, outlining a heart-stopping arc.
Uncle Wen seemed to be unaware, shaking his head and saying: "We don't know anything about this matter. Everything is arranged by the ancestor. His old man's thoughts are as vast as the universe, how can we be able to figure it out?"
Bai Yu pursed her lips and said no more. She was worried that if she continued to ask questions, she would not be able to control the anger in her heart.
Cheng Ling waved his hand and said calmly: "Then when can we see Cui Yiyi again? After the ancestor worship ceremony? Or after she gets the inheritance of Cui's secret realm?"
He has tried his best to suppress it. If Cui Yiyi really waits until he has obtained the inheritance of the ruling spirit before showing up, he will leave without hesitation and there will be no intersection from now on.
Uncle Wen coughed dryly and said, "I don't know about that. The ancestor worship ceremony is being held at this time. The young lady will definitely not be able to leave. As for when we will meet after the end, I can't decide."
Cheng Ling's mood waned and he immediately closed his mouth, not wanting to say another word.
Uncle Wen seemed to feel that the two of them were distracted. After saying a few innocuous words, he said goodbye and left.
Bai Yu frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Sir, in this case, what are we still doing here?"
Cheng Ling glanced at her and said, "If you wait a little longer, Cui will be able to master the Dao of Judgment. Their secret realm must be outstanding, and your Dao of the Other Side can also take the opportunity to improve again."
Bai Yu's heart trembled and she was slightly moved. It turned out that Cheng Ling was planning all this for herself. She stopped talking and just sat beside him.
Time passed slowly, and one day passed quickly. During this period, except for some fairy tea and fairy fruits brought by the maid, no important person from the Cui family showed up.
Cheng Ling gradually lost patience and was about to leave with Bai Yu.
At this moment, Cui Yiyi's voice sounded from outside the VIP room: "Master, Brother Cheng, are you in there?"
Before she finished speaking, she entered the VIP room.
Cheng Ling looked up and saw that she had changed her outfit. She was wearing a golden hairpin with a phoenix pattern on her head, her long black and shiny hair was draped behind her head, and she was wearing a pale golden palace robe. She looked noble and noble. Elegance is no longer the childishness and abjection it once was.
Bai Yu couldn't hold back her anger at first and asked: "Hua Yi, you finally showed up. This is all a trap set up by you, and you are fooling us around!"
Cui Yiyi sighed and said: "I knew the master would be angry. In fact, I didn't know it until later. From Cui Hong's mouth, I learned about the ancestor's plan. Speaking of which, I am just a pawn of theirs."
Bai Yu smiled softly, with a complicated look on her face, and said, "Are you pitiful? The most pitiful ones are probably Cui Xiaolian and the Cui clan members who died under our hands, and we are not butcher's knives in the hands of the ancestors of the Cui clan?"
Cui Yiyi said softly: "Yes, all the robberies and tribulations I encountered along the way were actually just a setup. The purpose was to allow me to grow and transform quickly in this life and death situation, and Master and Brother Cheng just happened to get involved in this experience."
