Chapter 327 Old things
Liu Zhaonian asked Chu Qing to sit down, and then he began to tell the story of what happened that year.

In the past, Chu Qing's grandfather was suffering from a serious illness and was on the verge of death. Liu Zhaonian traveled thousands of miles to find Liu Zhaohua, but he didn't expect that Liu Zhaohua had just given birth to Chu Qing and it was difficult for her to travel a long distance.

Liu Zhaonian couldn't bear to see his sister endure the pain of a long journey, so he decided to just let it go.

But Liu Zhaohua was stubborn by nature. When she wanted to marry Chu Yunfei, her parents opposed it because their family backgrounds were very different.

But she ignored it and it became very unpleasant.

However, they are blood relatives after all. Now they are thousands of miles apart. Seeing that his father is about to die, he insists on following Liu Zhaonian on the road even regardless of his own situation.

How could she endure this long journey when she was still in confinement after giving birth?

Even if one has superb martial arts skills, it is inevitable that one will still have some disease.

Even so, Liu Zhaohua was unable to see his father for the last time, which made him even more depressed.

Just as Liu Zhaonian said, this is a regret in both of their lives.

Liu Zhaohua was upset and decided to stay in Tianyin Mansion for the time being to mourn for his father for three years.

Although she felt sorry for Chu Qing, who had just been born, she felt that she was unworthy of being a son if she didn't do this.

Chu Yunfei knew about this matter, because after making this decision that year, Liu Zhaohua had someone send a letter to Tianwu City.

Chu Yunfei wrote back, telling her not to worry, as he was at home.

The two reached an agreement, and Liu Zhaohua settled down and stayed in Tianyin Mansion. During the three-year mourning period, he could also recuperate in Tianyin Mansion and cure the root cause of the disease left over from the long journey during the confinement period.

There is nothing much to say about all this.

Three years passed in the blink of an eye. Although the root cause of the disease was not completely cured, it was almost healed.

Liu Zhaohua could not suppress his homesickness. He missed Chu Yunfei and his three children, especially Chu Qing… Chu Qing left him when he was still an infant. Three years had passed, and he should have been able to call them mom and dad.

The more she thought about it, the more heartbroken she felt, so after waiting for three years to be over, she wanted to return to Nanling without staying for a single day.

Liu Zhaonian knew what she was thinking and did not stop her. He just told her that no matter what she encountered in the future, she should remember that there was a Tianyin Palace behind her.

I thought we would meet again after many years, no matter where we are, but I don’t know when?
Unexpectedly, less than three months after Liu Zhaohua left, he rushed back to Tianyin Mansion on a rainy night.

When Liu Zhaonian said this, murderous intent spread in his pupils:
"She fell in my yard. There was blood all over her body. The rain washed away all the blood and spilled it on the ground...

“It turned out that when she was rushing back to Nanling, she saw something unfair.

“Those who practice martial arts will naturally draw their swords to help.

“But I didn’t expect that the evildoer was so powerful.

“Although Lingbei is the supreme power of the three prefectures, three sects and three clans, there are also extraordinary people among the wanderers in the martial arts world who have acquired peerless martial arts and dare to challenge the nine of us.

“The master of the evil man is one of them.

“Your mother killed his disciple and was targeted by this man… He found your mother and wanted to avenge his disciple.

“The two of them fought, and your mother was defeated, but the man was not in a hurry to kill, but instead had the intention of killing her cruelly.

"This also gives your mother a chance to escape...but she knows very well that if she enters Nanling at this point, she might bring this demon into Nanling as well.

“Even if she really has the opportunity to return to Tianwu City, Tianwu City will face a catastrophic disaster.

“So, she dealt with him in Lingbei for more than two months before she made a feint to lead the devil astray, giving her the opportunity to return to Tianyin Mansion.

“Once that devil knows where your mother is, it will be impossible for him to break into Tianyin Mansion and kill people.

“He can’t do anything to Tianyin Mansion, and it’s almost impossible for Tianyin Mansion to surround and kill him.

“He said that Tianyin Mansion could protect her temporarily, but not forever.

"If she dares to take even a single step out of Tianyin Mansion, she will be killed on the spot!"

Click!

The chair under Chu Qing turned into sawdust in an instant. He stood up slowly. The expression on his face was not ferocious, but rather a hint of a smile. However, the strong energy that he forcibly suppressed still made everyone present feel as if a storm was about to come.

Liu Zhaonian was somewhat surprised by the martial arts displayed by Chu Qing, and there was even more relief in his eyes.

Then Chu Qing asked:

"Who is this person?"

He actually wanted to know who was the person who had prevented his family from reuniting for twenty years?

Seeing his expression, Liu Zhaonian sighed:

"I'll tell you this person's name, but you can't seek revenge on him easily.

"He is a very skilled martial artist. If you go, you will probably die..."

"Dad, don't keep us in suspense. Just tell us directly. It's still uncertain who will live and who will die. Don't underestimate this pretty boy... Ouch."

When Liu Qingyan finished speaking, she quickly covered her mouth.

The more she looked at Chu Qing's face, the more she wanted to pinch it... Chu Qing's fair and tender face was all in her mind. When she spoke, she couldn't help but blurt out the word "pretty boy". She felt a little embarrassed to see anyone.

Chu Qing looked at Liu Qingyan with a weird look. She felt that after she confessed her identity, the way her cousin looked at her became gradually abnormal.

"No rules, how do you talk?"

Liu Zhaonian glared at Liu Qingyan in anger, then turned to look at Chu Qing and spoke softly:
"This man calls himself 'The First Eternal Demon', his surname is Gongsun, and his name is Zongheng!"

"Gongsun Zongheng!?"

Liu Qingyan took a breath of cold air:
"It was him? Did my aunt escape from him back then?"

Chu Qing also frowned slightly. He remembered hearing this name from Old Man Sun.

At that time, the people who should not be provoked the most in the martial arts world were mentioned... In addition to the three prefectures, three sects and three clans, there are also "two beauties, three ugly people, five weirdos and one demon"!
Among these people, the most terrifying one is the 'devil' Gongsun Zongheng!
It’s just that this guy was active in the martial arts world twenty years ago.

He is a reckless person, just like his name suggests. Since he was in the world, he has not sought the right or wrong, but only the satisfaction of death.

If anyone makes him unhappy, he will make sure that person doesn't even have the right to be unhappy.

Many people from the Three Prefectures, Three Gates and Three Sects fell at his hands, and he was also once besieged by people from the Three Prefectures, Three Gates and Three Sects, but he still roamed freely in the world and no one could do anything to him.

What's more, he once broke into the 'Taishang Sword Gate' among the three gates, intending to seize the [Taishang Juntian Sword Sutra] of the Taishang Sword Gate.

Although it was intercepted by the Supreme Sword Sect with the "Zhou Tian Xing Dou Sword Formation", it failed.

However, they did not succeed in killing this beast. After it made a big fuss, it actually escaped unscathed.

This incident was considered shameful by the Supreme Sword Sect, but it also made Gongsun Zongheng a living legend in the martial arts world.

But this myth is cruel, killing people at will, and completely unreasonable.

However, in the past decade or so, this person has gradually disappeared from the sight of people in the world.

But even so, when Old Man Sun mentioned this person, he still felt an indescribable fear, as if Gongsun Zongheng was hiding nearby, and would jump out and slap him to death if he heard Old Man Sun saying bad things about him.

Chu Qing was listening with great interest at the time, but he never imagined that this person had a grudge against him.

Liu Zhaonian said:
“Although your mother escaped the disaster, she was seriously injured and spent two full years recuperating in Tianyin Mansion.

"But as soon as she got better, she wanted to leave Tianyin Mansion and return to Lingnan." She didn't take Gongsun Zongheng's words to heart at all... I couldn't stop her and could only let her leave, but I was still worried, so I followed her quietly.

"I didn't expect that Gongsun Zongheng was actually guarding outside Tianyin Mansion. He was elusive and suddenly showed up to kill your mother.

"At that time, your mother had just recovered from a serious illness, and the injuries she had accumulated previously also made her very weak. If I hadn't acted in time, I'm afraid she would have really died...

"I brought your mother and fought against Gongsun Zongheng all the way, and the two of us joined forces to force him back.

"I wanted to take your mother back to Nanling, but she didn't want to...

"She said that Gongsun Zongheng would never let go of any grudge. We are not afraid if we two brothers and sisters join forces, but if we return to Nanling like this, the consequences will be disastrous.

“After all, once Gongsun Zongheng follows us back to Nanling, Tianwu City will be doomed.

“What’s more, he can’t do anything to us, brother and sister, but he can vent his anger on Tianyin Mansion.

“If I wasn’t in charge of Tianyin Mansion, it’s hard to imagine what kind of changes would happen.

"So here we are, the two of us, back again..."

Chu Qing sighed silently in his heart, feeling that the problem they faced back then was indeed very difficult.

Liu Zhaohua could not let down her mother's family, nor could she bring this disaster to Nanling. She was unable to kill him, and even if she was alone, her life would be in danger.

Liu Zhaonian continued to say that Liu Zhaohua had been depressed since then.

He wanted to tell Chu Yunfei what had happened to him...but he was worried that Chu Yunfei would come to Lingbei to kill him and he would end up losing his life in vain.

After much thought, he wrote a farewell letter to Chu Yunfei.

Liu Zhaonian didn't know what was written in the letter.

But judging from Liu Zhaohua's expression, the content inside was probably not very good.

Since sending the letter, Liu Zhaonian has been depressed.

In the end, it was the old lady of the Liu family, the mother of Liu Zhaonian and Liu Zhaohua, who could not bear to see her daughter in such a state, so she taught her the unique skill of Tianyin Mansion, [Supreme Heavenly Sound].

Let her control her temper and hone her skills... If she can master the [Supreme Heavenly Sound], she will be able to return home one day.

But an accident happened during this process.

Chu Yunfei came to the door.

After all, for Chu Yunfei, his wife was doing well at home. She just went to her parents' home. Why should she part ways with him?

I felt there must be some misunderstanding, so I came here in a hurry.

But Liu Zhaonian didn't dare to tell the truth at that time...

The couple had a deep affection for each other. If Chu Yunfei knew the whole story, he would probably fight to the death with Gongsun Zongheng.

I wanted Liu Zhaohua to work out a solution with Chu Yunfei, but Liu Zhaohua was already practicing in seclusion at that time...

The end result was that Chu Yunfei came in angrily, but didn't find out anything. He only knew that his wife avoided him, so he left angrily again.

Just think of it as this woman abandoning her husband and children... and not wanting them anymore.

It was precisely because of this that when Chu Qing, who had grown up, asked Chu Yunfei about his mother, Chu Yunfei angrily said that she was dead.

But even so, Chu Yunfei never remarried, which shows that the couple still has a deep relationship.

Even though he was sure that Liu Zhaohua didn't want him anymore, Chu Yunfei never indulged himself.

"Your mother has been in seclusion for fifteen years... She came out several times during this period and felt that her martial arts skills had improved. She wanted to go to Nanling, but was stopped by Gongsun Zongheng.

“She had difficulty breaking through, so she had no choice but to come back and continue her retreat.

“We also thought about setting up an ambush, but it didn’t work.

"It was like this until not long ago, when your mother officially came out of seclusion.

"But before she could turn back, she encountered this incident..."

Tianyin Mansion was inexplicably caught in the center of the storm. As a member of Tianyin Mansion, she naturally could not leave at this time.

After Chu Qing heard the whole story, he felt that apart from the four words "fate plays tricks on us", he couldn't say anything else.

In fact, when he heard that his mother was still alive, he thought that Liu Zhaonian was interfering and preventing their family from reuniting.

It turned out to be all because of a 'Number One Eternal Demon', but this person just happened to be standing right here, on the table, and no one could ignore him.

It is understandable that Liu Zhaohua was worried that this person would bring danger to Tianwu City and did not dare to go home.

But in these twenty years, both Liu Zhaohua and Gongsun Zongheng were too obsessed.

Liu Zhaohua is obsessed with going home, Gongsun Zongheng is obsessed with killing Liu Zhaohua...

There is really no place to seek justice.

As for Chu Qing, there was only one thought that kept coming to his mind.

Pull out this Gongsun Zongheng and kill him for three days and three nights!
Otherwise, it would not be enough to calm the anger in my heart.

But at this point, Chu Qing was not most anxious about this matter. He looked at Liu Zhaohua:
"Where is my mother now? Can I see her?"

"It is only natural for a son to see his mother, but you have to wait two more days."

Liu Zhaonian said:
“As I said before, the experts from my Tianyin Palace went to investigate the Duan clan, and the person who went... was your mother!

"According to the time, she should be on her way back now."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

Then a voice came into the hall:
"My Lord, there is urgent news!"

"Bring it!"

Liu Zhaonian waved his hand, and the door opened with a whoosh.

The strong wind was howling, blowing Su Ningzhen's hair flying as she stood outside the door.

The person who came was really anxious. He threw the thing in his hand directly over, and Liu Zhaonian caught it in his palm in an instant.

He opened it and took a look, then his face changed:
"This is an urgent report from your mother. She is being hunted down and she asked me to send someone to pick her up!"

Upon hearing this, Chu Qing covered his face with the painted skin again:

"I go!"

"Your mother has now achieved the Supreme Heavenly Sound, and is the number one expert in our Heavenly Sound Palace. She needs someone to pick her up, which shows that the person chasing her is extraordinary... You can't go... You..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt the air around him become heavy.

With Liu Zhaonian's martial arts skills, he felt as if the world around him was collapsing.

He looked at Chu Qing with an incredible look, not daring to imagine that this huge pressure came from Chu Qing. However, he heard Liu Qingyan's words:
"Dad, don't underestimate him. My cousin is a martial arts master. With him as the backup, my aunt will be fine."

Chu Qing grinned... She changed her words quickly.
