Chapter 153 Escape
"Lin Qingfeng..." Wang Ergou glanced at the hundreds of Lin family pillars kneeling on the ground and said to Lin Qingfeng, "I heard that you are the head of the Lin family now?"
Most of these people are middle-aged and elderly people from the Lin family. Wang Ergou knew at a glance that these are the backbone of the current Lin family.
"Reporting to Senior Qianxian, I am not talented enough, but I am the current head of the Lin family!" Lin Qingfeng clasped his hands together with a respectful look on his face.
In fact, he was already in his seventies, but when facing Wang Ergou, he could only call him "senior" obediently.
You have to know that the person in front of you had come to the Lin family once more than 30 years ago.
He was just in his early forties at that time. On that day, all the pillars of the Lin family, old, middle-aged and young, came out in full force. He and a group of uncles and grandfathers joined forces to fight a fierce battle with Wang Ergou.
As a result, the whole family was beaten to a pulp by him alone, and they were unable to fight back.
Until now, he still remembers the horrifying scene of the rain of swords that day. He will never forget the countless flying swords circling around the Lin family. From time to time, some flying swords would shoot towards them from all directions at the same time. Even though everyone had prepared in advance, they could only watch those flying swords shoot into the crowd.
Because, even if some of the strongest people in the Lin family helped to resist the flying swords, they still couldn't resist them. The speed of those flying swords was too fast. They could block one or two, but they couldn't block three or four...
That battle is still the most terrifying battle he has ever experienced in his life, even though he is now in his seventies.
To this day, he still occasionally dreams of that battle, and whenever he has that dream, he will be so scared that he wakes up from the dream, soaking wet.
It is conceivable how much psychological trauma this battle left on him.
At the same time, that battle was also the most shameful battle in the history of the Lin family.
Fortunately, they later heard that the other ten major families had been beaten up by him in the same way, and they felt much more balanced.
Everyone knew it tacitly, and after that incident, no one in the entire Wuyuan Star Region mentioned it again.
After all, who would take the initiative to tell others about such a shameful thing and ruin their family's reputation?
From this we can see that today, thirty years later, he came to kill him again. How could Lin Qingfeng dare to show the slightest disrespect when facing him?
“Hehe…” Wang Ergou looked at Lin Qingfeng with disdain: “Is the Lin family so declining now? Can you become the head of the family?”
Lin Qingfeng: “…”
Lin Qingfeng looked up at Wang Ergou and wanted to curse him, but he didn't dare.
Damn it, you still have the nerve to say that. Back then, most of our Lin family’s strong men were seriously injured just to fight with you. If I’m not the head of the family now, who will be?
"Oh, it's boring..." Wang Ergou glanced at the hundreds of people in the Lin family and said, "None of them can fight. Forget it. If I fight you personally, it will be too much for you. How about this, since we are here, let's make friends with martial arts. I will let my apprentice learn a few moves from you young people."
Zhao Yunlong: “…”
Doesn't the old man want me anymore?
There isn't a single one of the hundreds of people kneeling here whose cultivation level I can see through. It's obvious that all of them have cultivation levels much higher than mine. Isn't he asking me to go up and die?
"Ah?" Lin Qingfeng looked at Wang Ergou with a worried look on his face. "Senior Qianxian, since you are not here because of the incident thirty years ago, how about we just make friends through martial arts and not spar? How can the younger generation of the Lin family be a match for your senior disciple?"
"Since you said you're here to challenge us, you should at least show some respect, right?" Wang Ergou said unhappily.
"Don't be so polite, really!" Lin Qingfeng stood up quickly, hunched over and came to Wang Ergou, and presented a Qiankun bracelet to Wang Ergou with both hands:
"Senior Qianxian, it's not easy for you to come all the way to Wuyuan City. We at the Lin family will cover all your round-trip expenses. Could you please be kind enough to skip the sparring?"
How could Lin Qingfeng dare to send people to fight with Wang Ergou's apprentice? When he brought a few apprentices to make trouble, it was because Lin really sent people to fight with his apprentice. In the end, his apprentice only had a few scratches, but he demanded a million spirit stones for medical expenses.
It was precisely because of this that the Lin family was so angry that all the strong men came out in full force. As a result, no spirit stones were compensated in the end, but almost all of the Lin family's strong men were seriously injured. Until now, several old guys in the family have not fully recovered.
If they had the chance to regret, they would rather pay a million spirit stones than come out in full force to fight him.
I was fooled last time, so there's no way I'll be fooled a second time this time.
"I'm so embarrassed that I still need you to give me travel expenses?" Wang Ergou smiled and looked at Lin Qingfeng with his eyes slightly narrowed.
"Of course I should!" Lin Qingfeng said seriously, "I don't know where you have lived all these years, otherwise I would have personally visited you to invite you to come to Wuyuan City to play for a few days."
"Well, I'm really tight on money lately because of my apprentice's illness, so I'd be remiss to refuse!" Wang Ergou put the Qiankun bracelet into his arms:
"Okay, go and get busy. I have already investigated the incident thirty years ago. Your Lin family was indeed not involved. After today, I will not come to the Lin family to cause trouble for you again. Tell your father and the others not to hide from me anymore."
"Thank you, senior!" Lin Qingfeng hurriedly clasped his hands together and bowed deeply.
Wang Ergou turned around and glanced at Zhao Yunlong: "Fifteen, let's go!"
"Oh..." Zhao Yunlong followed Wang Ergou with admiration on his face and strode out of Lin's.
Lin Qingfeng stood in the yard, staring blankly at Wang Ergou's receding figure, his back already soaked.
"Uncle, who is this old senior?" At this moment, a young man in his twenties squeezed out of the crowd, walked to Lin Qingfeng, and asked with a confused look on his face.
The Lin family has been standing in the Wuyuan Star Region for more than a day or two; it has a history of thousands of years.
As far as he could remember, it seemed that no elder in the clan had ever mentioned that the Lin family needed to be so servile to someone.
You know, the Lin family is one of the top ten families in the Wuyuan Star Domain. When facing an old man, the entire family has to kneel down together. This makes the young generations of the Lin family feel very aggrieved.
"A legend in the Wuyuan Star Region!" Lin Qingfeng said slowly: "Remember, in the future, if someone tells you the name of Qianxian Sanren, no matter what his relationship with Qianxian Sanren is, whether it is true or not, you must stay away from him. If you offend such a person, you should kowtow and apologize immediately, and pay the money!"
"What if someone is impersonating me?" the young man asked blankly.
"Treat them equally!" Lin Qingfeng said with a fearful look on his face: "That's better than provoking them for real!"
"Oh……"
……
Outside Lin's.
"Master, you tore down the gate of the Lin family, one of the top ten families, and they paid you compensation before sending you out?" Zhao Yunlong asked in shock after he walked a long way away.
"They must be thankful now that they were able to escort me out safely!" Wang Ergou curled his lips and said, "I'll take you to the other families later, so you can see for yourself how it feels to be unable to escort a master!"
"Master..." Zhao Yunlong said hesitantly, "I have always had a question that I want to ask you, but I don't know whether I should ask it or not!"
"Then don't ask!" Wang Ergou said without hesitation.
Zhao Yunlong: “…”
"But, but, I still want to ask!" said Zhao Yunlong.
"Then why did you say that kind of nonsense just now!" Wang Ergou said disdainfully: "Do you want to know what happened thirty years ago?"
"Yes!" Zhao Yunlong nodded.
"I'll tell you after I finish my last battle!" said Wang Ergou.
"Oh..." Zhao Yunlong nodded: "Master, what are we going to do now?"
"Let's go to the exchange!" Wang Ergou said, "The exchange in Wuyuan City has the most complete range of things in the entire Wuyuan Star Region. As long as you have enough spirit stones, you can buy anything you want. I have to go find some spiritual medicines for your Thirteenth Senior Brother."
"Can you help Senior Brother Thirteen find some elixir?" Zhao Yunlong asked.
"Didn't you notice that your Thirteenth Senior Brother is sick? And his illness is quite serious?" Wang Ergou curled his lips.
"Do you mean crazy?" Zhao Yunlong asked.
"Haha... you also noticed that the kid has some mental problems. However, the mental illness you mentioned is just a minor illness. He has more serious ones that can be fatal." Wang Ergou said with a smile.
"What disease?" Zhao Yunlong was at a loss.
"Innate Qi!" Wang Ergou said lightly.
"Innate Qi?" Zhao Yunlong frowned. "What kind of disease is this?"
"Just know about this! Don't tell anyone, including your Thirteenth Senior Brother himself." Wang Ergou suddenly became more serious than ever before: "I will find time to refine some pills for you later. When you see your Thirteenth Senior Brother again, give him the pills. When he feels the heat in his body, he can take one. It will suppress the innate energy in his body. Otherwise, given his current condition, before he breaks through to the True Essence Realm, the innate energy will probably take his life sooner or later."
"Ah? True Yuan Realm?" Zhao Yunlong's eyes widened: "Is Senior Brother Thirteen expected to break through the True Yuan Realm in the future?"
"What future?" Wang Ergou curled his lips in disdain: "At most, it will be within ten years."
"What? Within ten years?" Zhao Yunlong was stunned. "Doesn't that mean that he can break through the True Essence Realm before the age of thirty? This, this... this is unprecedented in the entire Wuyuan Star Region, right?"
"There will definitely be no one like him in the future!" Wang Ergou suddenly smiled proudly.
"Gurgle..." Zhao Yunlong swallowed his saliva.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Ergou brought Zhao Yunlong to the largest trading house in Wuyuan Star Domain.
More than 500,000 spirit stones were spent to purchase thousands of spiritual medicines.
Among them, the three elixirs alone cost nearly 400,000 spirit stones.
When Zhao Yunlong walked out of the exchange, he was completely dazed.
This was the first time in his life that he truly understood what it meant to spend money like water.
In addition to the exchange, Zhao Yunlong couldn't help but ask, "Master, are you buying so many spiritual herbs for Senior Brother Thirteen to use in refining pills?"
"No, I only bought him the three most expensive ones!" Wang Ergou said slowly, "The other thousands of them are for refining some Guiyuan Pills for you. Also, I plan to teach you how to make Qianbao Porridge during this period of time. If anything happens to me this time, you can live a comfortable life by selling Qianbao Porridge in the future."
"Ah?" Zhao Yunlong suddenly looked at Wang Ergou nervously: "Master, is there any danger in challenging them this time?"
"You are talking nonsense!" Wang Ergou said with disdain: "One person takes turns to challenge the ten major families in the Wuyuan Star Region. Don't you think there is no danger at all? Do you think your master is invincible? Two or three of these families have peak True Yuan Realm masters. I am not sure I can defeat them!"
"Ah?" Zhao Yunlong looked worried: "Master, you are not completely sure, and you are going to challenge the ten major families alone."
"Some things must be done." A cold murderous look suddenly flashed in Wang Ergou's eyes: "Otherwise, how can we be worthy of the many wronged souls in the back mountain of Qianxian Sect."
Zhao Yunlong glanced at Wang Ergou and wanted to ask something, but in the end he moved his mouth a few times but still didn't ask.
He actually wanted to ask why the tombstones of the thousands of graves in the back mountain of Qianxian Sect all had "Wang Ergou killed" engraved on them, but after thinking about it, he didn't dare to ask.
"Just say what you want to say!" Wang Ergou said in a deep voice, "Don't hesitate like a woman!"
"Disciple wants to ask about the tombstone in the back mountain of Qianxian Sect." Zhao Yunlong smiled awkwardly: "Master will definitely not tell me..."
"There's nothing to hide!" Wang Ergou said with a straight face, "Those thousands of people died because of me. In a sense, it's as if I killed them myself. Only by clarifying what happened thirty years ago can I let them die in peace and be worthy of your mistress."
"Master's wife..."
"He died because he saved me. Sigh..." Wang Ergou shook his head: "Let's not talk about it for now. I'll tell you in detail after the last battle."
Zhao Yunlong said weakly: "What if you die before you finish the fight?"
Wang Ergou: “…”
“You…” Wang Ergou glared at Zhao Yunlong fiercely: “Fifteen, you can’t learn from your Thirteenth Senior Brother! If you learn his bad mouth, you will be beaten to death sooner or later when you go out!”
Wang Ergou said this and looked at Zhao Yunlong meaningfully: "Fifteen, you are the most mature and steady among the group. From now on, you have to help me keep an eye on your Third Senior Sister and your Thirteenth and Fourteenth Senior Brothers."
"Ah?" Zhao Yunlong was stunned: "Third Senior Sister also wants me to see it?"
"She?" Wang Ergou said with disdain: "According to what your Thirteenth Senior Brother said, she is even less reliable than your Thirteenth Senior Brother. When she gets angry, I only dare to challenge the ten major families, but she dares to challenge the entire Wuyuan Star Region!"
Zhao Yunlong: “…”
"Third, is Third Senior Sister so irritable?" Zhao Yunlong was shocked.
“Otherwise, her grandfather has arranged several marriages for her, but the people would rather pay her a sum of money than want her!” Wang Ergou said with disdain: “I think she can only be with your Thirteenth Senior Brother in this life. No one wants to marry your Thirteenth Senior Brother because he is ugly, and no one wants her because she has a bad temper. Well, it can be said that it is a perfect match for a bad pot!
However, it will be a bit hard for their next generation. I don’t know what your Thirteenth Brother’s offspring will look like in the future. I don’t know if he can give me a decent grandson.
Alas, if he also has pockmarks on his face like him, I will be so worried. This is what worries me the most now. My disciple cannot be too ugly. Think about how handsome and suave I was in the past. I must not let my handsomeness be ruined by my disciple..."
Zhao Yunlong: “…”
"Master, isn't it a little too early for you to start thinking about your disciple now?" Zhao Yunlong said with a chill on his face: "It's not even clear whether Senior Brother Thirteen and Senior Sister Three can be together!"
"That won't do! They must be together!" Wang Ergou suddenly looked serious: "Your Third Senior Sister is the only one among all my disciples who has inherited my true medical skills. As for Thirteen, he is my successor and the only candidate for the head of Qianxian Sect in the future.
The two of them are a match made in heaven, and no one can separate them. Only in this way can my unique skills not fall into the hands of outsiders. Although Thirteen is ugly, the headmaster's wife must not be too ugly. If she is ugly, it will bring shame to the Qianxian Sect."
Zhao Yunlong: “…”
……
at the same time.
The heart of the demon realm.
Ye Fei, Xiao San and Ding Dashan were running at full speed in the woods along a long ridge.
Behind the three of them, a large group of flying monsters were circling over the woods.
These were a group of flying monsters that looked like bats. Xiao San, Ding Dashan and Ye Fei had never seen them before.
In short, when they saw this group of giant bats, they were besieging a monster and sucking its blood. In order to save the poor monster, the three of them offended this group of giant bats.
So, the group of giant bats chased them for a day and a night.
No matter where they ran, they could not escape their pursuit.
The saddest thing is that they can neither fly nor escape.
"Senior Sister, what should we do? You must think of a solution quickly. If we keep running like this, sooner or later we will become the delicacy of these big bats!" Ye Fei shouted anxiously.
