Chapter 422
Xiao Zhan's visit to Haoyue Villa was indeed a last-minute idea.
He would not come to Haoyue Villa out of anger because of a little girl like Shi Zhenxiang who was inexperienced in world affairs.
Xiao Zhan left Huangzhou this time to find the next core of human civilization.
In other words, Xiao Zhan came to Wuji Hall.
Now, this scope can be narrowed down a little further to the Sima family.
The Sima family was too mysterious, and Xiao Zhan did not dare to easily let members of the War Temple investigate.
Therefore, Xiao Zhan had a plan in mind.
If what Mo Chen said is true and the inheritance ring in Xiao Zhan's hand is true, then it will definitely attract the attention of the Sima family.
What Xiao Zhan has to do is to turn his fake "successor of the Lord of the Wuji Palace" into a real "successor of the Lord of the Palace."
Anyway, Wuji Palace has so many branch forces, who can tell clearly?
Who dares to say that Haoyue Villa cannot be a branch of Wuji Palace?
Xiao Zhan looked at Shi Guangnian in front of him and said in a deep voice:
"Master Shi, I need you to pass the throne to me."
A cold light flashed in Shi Guangnian's eyes:
"Do you want Haoyue Villa?"
Xiao Zhan shook his head, "Master Shi, don't be nervous, I just need this identity temporarily."
Shi Guangnian's eyes darkened, "What if I say no?"
Xiao Zhan looked into Shi Guangnian's eyes:
"Then shall I go?"
Shi Guangnian subconsciously glanced at the black spots on his arms.
He knew how powerful the toxins in his body were.
During the time when he came back from Huangzhou, he tried every means but could not resolve the toxins in his body.
His life was still in Xiao Zhan's hands.
Xiao Zhan didn't feel the slightest guilt about this.
After all, people like Shi Guangnian originally had the idea of destroying Yanlong Kingdom and slaughtering Huangzhou again.
After a long time, Shi Guangnian nodded and said:
"Okay, I will announce my abdication and give up my position to you."
Xiao Zhan nodded:
"Deputy Villa Master Shi should continue to manage the affairs of Haoyue Villa."
After speaking, Xiao Zhan pointed to Shi Zhenxiang in the room:
"Deputy Villa Master Shi, it's better to arrange a new yard for your daughter. I will live here for the time being."
Shi Guangnian nodded, and then shouted into the room:
"Zhenxiang, come out and I'll take you to heal."
Speaking of healing, Shi Guangnian planned to take Shi Zhenxiang with him.
He was mainly afraid that Shi Zhenxiang would anger Xiao Zhan again.
If Xiao Zhan slapped Shi Zhenxiang to death, Shi Guangnian wouldn't even have a chance to regret it.
Shi Zhenxiang kicked the door open, her face was covered with bandages, only a pair of angry eyes were revealed:
"Shi Guangnian, you will no longer be my father!"
"The enemy is right in front of you. Not only did you not kill him, but you also chatted with him for so long. Do you still look like a powerful person at the peak of the God King Realm?"
"Shi Guangnian, are you still qualified to be the owner of Haoyue Villa?"
Shi Guangnian had veins popping out on his forehead, obviously very angry.
Xiao Zhan slowly spoke at this time:
"You are right, from now on, your father is no longer the owner of the village."
Shi Zhenxiang glared at Xiao Zhan,
"Do you have the right to speak? Just wait to die!"
Shi Guangnian took a deep breath and rushed to Shi Zhenxiang in a flash. He pulled her and rushed out of the yard.
Shi Zhenxiang's roar still spread into the courtyard:
"Shi Guangnian, let go of me. How could you promise my mother when she was still here? You said you wouldn't let anyone bully me!"
Xiao Zhan rubbed his temples and felt irritated by Shi Zhenxiang's noise.
After a long time, when the courtyard finally calmed down, Xiao Zhan turned on his individual combat bracelet and gave it to Zhongzhou.
A member of the Temple of War posted a message.
At this time, a crisp chirping sounded in the sky.
Xiao Zhan looked up and saw Xiao Huang swooping down from high altitude.
It was obvious that Xiao Huang did not exude any momentum, but the ferocious beasts in the animal pens in the yard were so frightened that they fell to the ground, their bodies trembling continuously.
Xiao Huang landed on the stone table and glanced unkindly at the ferocious beasts in the animal pen.
Xiao Zhan actually saw a hint of contempt in Xiao Huang's eyes.
It seems that Xiao Huang despises the fact that ferocious beasts are kept in pens and used as other people's pets.
Xiao Zhan touched Xiao Huang's feathers, then found an empty room and began to sit cross-legged and meditate.
the next day.
An explosive news suddenly spread throughout Zhongzhou.
The owner of the superpower Haoyue Villa, Shi Guangnian, suddenly announced that he would no longer be the owner of the village. The new owner was a young man named Xiao Zhan.
As soon as the news came out, everyone in Haoyue Villa exploded.
In the main hall in the core area of the villa.
Xiao Zhan sat in the position of the village owner and looked at the elders expressionlessly.
Shi Guangnian sat at Xiao Zhan's starting position and said to a group of elders:
"This is my decision, and it's useless for you to object."
A group of ordinary elders did not dare to speak.
But the two Supreme Elders frowned tightly.
One of the old men who looked exactly like Maitreya said in a deep voice:
"Master, you have to give us a reason, right?"
"Even if you don't want to be the owner of this villa and want to practice in seclusion with peace of mind, you can let us manage the villa on your behalf."
"But now, you actually want to pass the throne to someone we don't even know. Isn't this a joke for the world to see at our Haoyue Villa?"
"Not to mention outsiders, even within our Haoyue Villa, we can't convince the public."
The Supreme Elder who spoke was named Ni Dahong, who was in the middle stage of the Divine King Realm.
The Supreme Elder sitting next to him had his eyebrows slightly closed, as if everything had nothing to do with him. His name was Guan Shijie, and he was in the early stage of the God King Realm.
Shi Guangnian looked at Xiao Zhan and saw that Xiao Zhan was not going to speak, so he had to continue:
"I said, I have passed the throne to Xiao Zhan, and he will be the owner of our Haoyue Villa from now on."
"No one is allowed to have any doubts about this matter."
"Send invitations to all the major forces in Zhongzhou, and a celebration will be held for the owner of the village in a month."
A flash of doubt flashed in Ni Dahong's eyes:
"Master, this Xiao Zhan, could he be your... illegitimate son?"
Hearing this, Shi Guangnian's eyes instantly turned cold:
"Elder Ni, are you questioning my decision?"
"Or do you think you are strong enough to stand up to me?"
Ni Dahong frowned tightly and did not speak again.
Guan Shijie yawned, looked at Xiao Zhan and said:
"Master, can I go back to retreat?"
Xiao Zhan glanced at Guan Shijie, nodded and said, "Elder Guan, please."
Seeing Guan Shijie directly address Xiao Zhan as the owner of the village, Ni Dahong took a deep look at Guan Shijie, snorted coldly, stood up and left the hall directly.
The other elders looked at each other, not knowing what to say.
Shi Guangnian waved his hand: "For the time being, the affairs in the villa will be managed by me, the deputy owner, and everything will continue as usual."
"Starting tomorrow, we will announce a large-scale recruitment of disciples."
"Okay, let's break up the meeting."
A group of elders quickly stood up and saluted Shi Guangnian with clasped fists. After hesitating for a moment, they all saluted Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan nodded and indicated that they could leave.
When only Xiao Zhan and Shi Guangnian were left in the hall, Shi Guangnian lowered his voice and said:
"Are you satisfied now?!"
After saying that, Shi Guangnian directly threw a golden coin to Xiao Zhan.
The token is engraved with complicated patterns and the two ancient characters "Haoyue".
This is the identity token representing the owner of Haoyue Villa.
Xiao Zhan put the token away, stood up and left directly.
After a while, Xiao Zhan left Haoyue Villa.
Shi Zhenxiang, who had been observing in secret, had a murderous intent in his eyes, turned around and said to several good-looking female disciples:
"Listen to me, no matter what method you use, you must kill him for this lady!"
As she spoke, Shi Zhenxiang touched her face, which was covered with gauze, and grimaced in pain.
Baiyue City.
This is the city closest to Haoyue Villa.
And in the city, almost everyone was talking about the inexplicable change of owner of Haoyue Villa.
Xiao Zhan walked into a storytelling library and sat on a chair near the door.
This means that the library can accommodate about five hundred people, and only a few seats are empty at this time.
The storyteller is a one-eyed old man with a thin build and wearing a blue cloth robe. He is taking a sip from the tea cup.
After taking a sip of tea to moisten his throat, the one-eyed old man put down the tea cup, picked up the gavel on his right, and banged it on the table.
A clear voice came out immediately:
"Today, instead of talking about books, let's talk about the change of owner of Haoyue Villa."
"If you want to talk about the Master Shi of Haoyue Villa, he is a hero of his generation."
"I was born with Qi gathering and Qi Hai at the age of ten. I was already at the Dan Hai realm before I was twenty years old. Later I entered Haoyue Villa and became a powerful person at the God King realm in just over a hundred years."
"But how could such a legendary figure suddenly abdicate in his prime?"
Someone immediately asked: "Yes, Sun Banblind, please tell me, why did the owner of the village change inexplicably?"
Others are also looking forward to it.
Because this half-blind Sun has no other abilities except that he knows a lot.
In addition to telling those classic stories, what he talks about most is various current events.
Sun Banxi smiled:
"This matter is not difficult to understand if you reason it carefully."
"There are just two possibilities."
"First of all, Master Shi has a reason why he has to abdicate in favor of someone worthy of his position."
"Mostly, it is controlled by others."
"Although he is already the strongest among the strongest at the peak of the God King Realm, in front of the powerful God King Realm, he can only obey orders."
"Secondly, this new village owner is a super genius, which makes Master Shi willing to abdicate in favor of others."
Immediately someone raised their hands:
"Sun Banblind, we are not here to listen to your guesses. You have to provide evidence."
A smile flashed in the only eye Sun could see that was half-blind:
"You may not have received the message yet."
"Haoyue Villa is about to start recruiting disciples on a large scale. This is a signal."
"Perhaps Haoyue Villa has some big plan, and this new owner is the leader of this plan."
"Also, Haoyue Villa will hold a celebration for the new owner in one month."
"At that time, all the major forces in Zhongzhou will send people to Haoyue Villa."
"In my opinion, the new owner of the village is so eager to appear in front of the world that he may deliberately release some news."
"Just wait and see, a storm is brewing~"
Having said this, Sun Banblind picked up the teacup again, took a sip before continuing:
"I heard that the new village owner named Xiao Zhan is only in his thirties."
"If he can really secure his position as the owner of Haoyue Villa, he will probably become a legend in the future."
Xiao Zhan twisted his wrist at this time, and a True Essence Stone exchange coupon went straight through the crowd and landed on the table in front of Sun Banblind.
The face value of this True Essence Stone exchange coupon is one hundred.
Sun Banblind said "Ouch" and quickly exchanged the True Essence Stone for the coupon.
Taking it into his arms, he looked across the crowd with incomparable precision and landed on Xiao Zhan's face, then smiled and clasped his fists:
"Thank you sir for the reward."
Seeing this scene, many people turned to look at Xiao Zhan.
They all knew Sun Banblind's temper, and the reward was less than ten True Essence Stones, which didn't even include the word "thank you".
And often out of a hundred people who come to listen to his stories, they won't reward him.
This means that the library has been losing money for a few years after it has been open. No one knows what this half-blind man is planning.
Xiao Zhan smiled and said:
"Can you tell me something else?"
Sun Banxia nodded, "What do you want to hear, Master?"
Xiao Zhan said directly:
"Tell me about the Sima family."
Hearing the words "Sima Family", everyone in the library had a look of confusion on their faces.
Because they have never heard of the word "Sima Family" at all.
It sounds like a certain family.
But I have never heard of a big family named Sima.
Sun Banblind frowned slightly, and then took out the True Essence Stone exchange coupon given by Xiao Zhan from his arms. With a wave of his hand, the True Essence Stone exchange coupon flew towards Xiao Zhan, and Xiao Zhan grabbed it.
"Sir, please be patient. One hundred true essence stones are not worthy of me talking about the Sima family. I will not make fun of my own life."
Xiao Zhan nodded, "What then?"
Sun half-blindly thought for a while and said:
"You have to pay more."
