Twenty-nine years ago, Wu Yaoguang got angry in front of the real people of the clan who came to "visit" and scolded them for their bad intentions. In a moment of impatience, he "went crazy" and spit out a few mouthfuls of turbid blood, which "destroyed" the meridians and Dantian.
The real person of the clan, who originally had evil intentions, after repeated confirmations, was sure that Wu Yaoguang not only had no chance to become a god, but might even collapse the Nascent Soul, so he left with regrets and apologies in his mouth.
Not long after they left, Wu Hongqu hid his cultivation and aura from the Xuanming Sect. When he returned home, he changed his appearance to Wu Yaoguang, hiding his secret plan from even the elders in his family.
The only people in the world who knew about this were Wu Yaoguang, Wu Hongqu and Wu Guiyi's mother Wu Ruoning.
"They wanted Third Aunt to go out quietly to look for an opportunity to transform into a god, and then come back to overcome the tribulation when the situation is decided. By then, no one can stop Third Aunt from transforming into a god."
Wu Hongqu has always been a miraculous dragon, and it was no problem to leave the Xuanming Sect and hide in the Wu family for decades. It was originally a sound plan, but something went wrong during Wu Yaoguang's travels.
According to the message Wu Yaoguang sent to the two of them, she traveled to many mortal realms to understand the world, and experienced joys and sorrows that were different from those of a monk. Unexpectedly, when she returned to the realm of cultivating immortals, the signs of becoming a god became very shallow.
In a state of tranquility, she found another mountain to retreat in for a year. Through her spiritual sense and the guidance that came out of nowhere in her heart, she left the retreat and headed east. Not long after walking to the east, she sent back her last message.
"The third aunt said that she accidentally saved a junior and planned to send him home. Since then, there has been no news."
"Could it be my dad?"
Zhong Lingge imagined that the Yuanying boss was suppressing the realm and rescued the poor young male cultivator. As a result, the young male cultivator mistakenly thought that they were of the same level and boldly expressed his love.
"It should be. Several years later, Third Aunt's soul lamp suddenly flickered violently, and the family realized that it was not her who had been staying at home all these years, but Ninth Aunt."
Wu Hongqu has always taken the initiative to keep a distance from the Wu family. Many people in the family have never seen her in person. Her sudden appearance in the Soul Lantern Hall shocked the Wu family.
"I was still young at that time and don't remember much. The only thing I remember clearly is that Ninth Aunt was calmer than everyone else and said that as long as the soul lamp does not go out, we will wait and see what happens. As long as Third Aunt has the chance, she will definitely find a way to contact the family. .”
"What happened later? Did it appear?"
Wu Gui shook his head.
"No. We have been trying to figure out where Third Aunt went. We took the risk to recruit some trustworthy casual cultivators as guests, and established strongholds in the southeast, northwest, and central five divisions to make it easier to inquire about information. As a result, we found nothing for so many years until you went When we arrived at Spring Valley, Manager Shi Lei saw that you and Third Aunt look very similar, so that was the first clue."
The Wu family made some inquiries in the east and found out about the situation of the Zhong family. After comparing the time, they determined that Wu Yaoguang had become a Taoist couple with a member of the Zhong family's foundation branch. Later, one died and the other disappeared, leaving only Zhong Lingge.
"Actually, the tribe has known about it for a long time. We have heard a lot about you. We all want to sneak away to the east to find you. Everyone says you are so powerful. The elders also praise you endlessly, saying that you are the leader of the family. Glory, let us learn more from you!"
"How can I be so powerful?"
Zhong Lingge felt embarrassed when he was praised for the first time. He pretended to take a few sips of tea to distract from his eloquent praise.
"It turns out that the Valley of Rejuvenation is the stronghold of the Wu family. If those sanctimonious people knew this, they would be so angry that their mouths and eyes would squint, and their ears would twitch!"
Just thinking about it makes me feel relieved! The highly touted medical stronghold throughout the Lower Domain was actually built by the Wu family, whom they despised the most.
"Hehe, this is not the only stronghold our family has! There is also Jingsi Tower in the south, and Linlang Pavilion that can be seen everywhere in the west, central and east, all of them!"
Zhong Lingge was stunned when he heard that the Valley of Rejuvenation alone could earn enough spiritual stones to support several families. In addition, Linlang Pavilion, which deals in materials, and Jingsi Tower, which specializes in scriptures, exercises and secrets, and the Wu family's The wealth will only be more than that of the eight major families, never less.
I guess the reason for keeping such a low profile is not to arouse the jealousy of others. If the clan members knew the true background of the Wu family, the old thieves who transformed themselves into gods would probably be unable to sit still.
"It's not an option to avoid it like this."
Zhong Lingge still felt that facing them head-on was the right solution. Hiding and delaying could continue the temporary conflict. Over time, these people would still use various reasons to kill the Wu family and seize everything from them.
Wu Gui sighed: "Hey, everyone in the clan is holding on to hope, hoping to wait for Third Aunt to return as a god and take charge. Now the people in the clan have not taken action openly because Jiu Aunt is in the god transformation stage. They know that if If the Wu family is really disturbed, Aunt Jiu will not let it go."
"It is urgent to resolve the conflict between Dao and demons. Taking this path may be faster than waiting for my mother to return."
Zhong Lingge didn't tell her about her mother turning into a ghost cultivator, not because she couldn't trust Wu Guiyi, but because it would not be helpful to the current situation, but would easily shake the Wu family's firm confidence in their mother.
After all, it is impossible for a person who becomes a ghost cultivator to become a god before the upper and lower realms merge.
Wu Guiyi scratched the back of his head, his expression and movements were completely incompatible with the appearance of a fat middle-aged man. "Hey, how do you reconcile the Taoist and demonic conflicts? Our family, except for Jiuyi, are all Taoist cultivators. But since I was a child, I have been called a "little demonic cultivator" and have been beaten even when I go out on the street. I don't think it's that easy."
"It depends on man-made things. There have been great changes in the north, south and east. Just follow me and I will take you to the fortune-telling alliance's grand gathering."
Zhong Lingge put down the spirit stone he paid for, picked up Wu Gui, who was starry-eyed, and whispered a few instructions.
"You have to pretend to be more serious. If you can't, just keep expressionless and don't speak. No one can see your depth. However, once you enter the fortune-telling alliance, it doesn't matter whether you hide or not."
"Ah? How is that possible! There are so many casual cultivators and they still beat me to death! They all think that the demon cultivators are robbing them of resources, and our Wu family is the lackeys of the demon cultivators!"
Wu Guiyi couldn't believe it. He was quite experienced in being beaten and scolded. At this point, he was confident that he could see it more clearly than his cousin.
Zhong Lingge didn't explain any more, and opened the formation with a smile: "Let's go, you will know after you go."
The casual cultivators in the Lower Domain are no longer the same as they used to be. The destiny has changed. It is not her or anyone else's individual destiny that has changed. The fate of the entire world is changing.
The two came to the Nine-Inch Tower where the Fortune Telling Alliance held a grand gathering. As soon as Zhong Lingge approached, the monk guarding the door to check the traffic order gave way to let her and the little Qi Refiner follower behind her pass.
"Friend Dao Zhong, congratulations on establishing the foundation!"
"Congratulations, Zhong Daoyou is young and promising!"
"I heard that fellow Taoists have brought talismans to sell? Can you pre-order some in advance? I'm afraid I won't be able to grab them in an unknown store."
Zhong Lingge was surrounded as soon as he entered, and the enthusiastic casual cultivators were also very friendly to the young followers. This was the first time that Wu Guiyi felt the monk's kindness for no reason. He grinned with his teeth bared, and his admiration for his cousin deepened in his heart!
