C127 Zu Hongming
"Who is it?" Everyone could not help but feel puzzled.
Lei Zhengtian was also very curious. He had only invited the commanders of the five armies, but why was there another person now?
Mu Qianqiu stood upright on top of the huge skeleton's Giant Claw. The huge black sword that was glowing with a dark light had already been shaken out of the skeleton's Giant Claw. The huge sword flew into the sky, and the six cultivators led by Xiao Han surrounded it. They kept the huge sword. The sky above Mu Qianqiu was filled with multicolored light. Dusk was quietly descending. He looked around at the people around him. The six commanders of Great Wei Dynasty were staring at him.
In front of Mu Qianqiu stood a middle-aged man who looked to be in his forties. However, one couldn't tell his real age. This middle-aged man had white hair. As the breeze blew, his face was like a knife or an axe, and his eyes were sharp and clear. His eyes were full of vigor. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and stared at Mu Qianqiu. He tilted his head with interest and looked at Mu Qianqiu.
"Who are you? Are you a dog of Great Wei Dynasty? If not, get the hell out of here right now!" Mu Qianqiu's eyes were fixed on the man in front of him. He found out that this man's cultivation base was somewhat unfathomable. But Mu Qianqiu was sure that this man's strength was at least above his. Mu Qianqiu gritted his teeth in the face of this man who suddenly appeared. However, he didn't dare to say it too much.
"Hahaha, dog? Interesting. Although I'm not a dog of Great Wei Dynasty, young man, don't think that I will be afraid of you just because you have the help of the Corpse Devil. If I listen to you and leave this place, I'm afraid all the people of the Great Wei Dynasty will laugh at me, Zu Hongming, for being worse than a dog. Do you think what I said makes sense?"
The man who claimed to be Zu Hongming spoke in a polite manner. He wasn't angry at all. Furthermore, Zu Hongming was able to recognize Mu Qianqiu as the Cultivator of the Corpse Devil with a single glance.
"Zu Hongming!"
"He's actually Zu Hongming!"
Obviously, this Zu Hongming was a very familiar name to some people. However, there were probably very few people who knew his name. Moreover, even the commanders of the six armies couldn't guess his identity for a moment.
Currently, the world was under the rule of Great Wei Dynasty. In this world, one had to be under the jurisdiction of a dynasty. However, there were always some people who were not willing to submit to the rule of the dynasty. They dared to challenge the authority of the imperial family. They felt that the emperor should take turns to do so. But how could the imperial family of Great Wei Dynasty let go of such great power? Thus, these people formed a Heaven's Assembly. If he remembered correctly, this Zu Hongming was one of the leaders of the Heavenly Assembly.
However, under the authority of Great Wei Dynasty, the Heaven's Assembly could only exist in the name of rebellion. Although it still existed, it was no longer as powerful as before. Furthermore, the few presidents who founded the Liantian Society had gradually disappeared. Some people said that they had been eliminated by the Great Wei Dynasty.
Now that Zu Hongming was standing here, what was surprising was that... He was still alive. What was even more unexpected was that he was still alive. When the founding of the Heavenly Assembly, he was already a super Heavenly Core Stage expert. But now, his cultivation base seemed to be only at the Earth Core Stage. This couldn't help but make people think of something. Perhaps the leaders of the Heavenly Assembly had not been eliminated by the dynasty. They seemed to have suffered some kind of disaster.
"Do you want to go against me?!" Mu Qianqiu's expression was dark and cold, and his voice sank as he spoke.
"Little guy, I don't need to go against you. I only want the Blood Devil Staff under your feet. You can choose not to give it to me. I'm afraid that when the time comes, it won't be me who wants to go against you." Zu Hongming narrowed his eyes and said.
When everyone heard Zu Hongming's words, they immediately stared at him. Listening to the meaning behind Zu Hongming's words, it seemed like he was implying that only he could obtain the Blood Devil Staff. This caused the six commanders to immediately put some distance between themselves and Zu Hongming. From the looks of it, Zu Hongming's appearance didn't seem to be helping them.
"Let me ask you, just now you said that you had some kind of relationship with Great Wei Dynasty. What exactly happened? Why don't I know anything about it?" Xiao Han looked at Zu Hongming, then stood up and said. His family had been working for Great Wei Dynasty for generations. In terms of history, his family had always been a family of generals. His relationship with the Great Wei Dynasty was not shallow, but he had never heard of someone like Zu Hongming.
"That's right! Our Zheng family is also considered the royal family of Great Wei Dynasty. Why haven't we heard of this before?" Zheng Feilong couldn't help but ask his own question.
The other few commanders were also from wealthy families in Great Wei Dynasty. They were all related to the imperial family of Great Wei Dynasty. Otherwise, the imperial family of Great Wei Dynasty wouldn't have let outsiders take up the role of commander.
They had almost never heard of Zu Hongming.
Tang Cheng, who was standing next to Nangong Yingjie, suddenly frowned. He patted his head as if he had thought of something.
"Zu Hongming? Are you the famous Divine Dragon General of Great Wei Dynasty three hundred years ago? Zu Hongming? " Tang Cheng said with difficulty as he tried to recall.
Zu Hongming nodded slightly at him and said, "I didn't expect anyone to remember this. Young man, you have a good memory!"
Tang Cheng quickly waved his hand and said, "No, you might have forgotten. Back then, our Tang family received your guidance, and that's why we have the current Tang family. That Snow Spirit Spear was taught to the Tang family by you..."
"So it is the descendant of Tang Zhengqian." Zu Hongming said with a smile.
"That is my great-grandfather!" Tang Cheng said.
Zu Hongming sized him up and said, "Alright, as long as the Snow Spirit Spear's ultimate technique is not lost, this old man will be very pleased!"
Following that, Zu Hongming crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at Xiao Han. He said faintly, "This silver armor of yours, if I'm not mistaken, is the Silver Soul Armor. That seems to be a treasure from the Sky Mirror, and it has now been passed to your hands?"
"You know my great grandfather!" Xiao Han suddenly asked excitedly.
"Not only do you know, you are also very familiar with him." Zu Hongming smiled and said, "However, I still have to remind you that this Blood Devil Staff is not something that you people can touch. Listen to my words, quickly leave this place."
When Zu Hongming said this, the others looked at him with unfriendly gazes. This old man had clearly come here to chase him away. He wanted to keep this Blood Devil Staff for himself, so how could he let him go?
The establishment of the Heavenly Association was a force that opposed the Great Wei Dynasty, and it was a threat to the Great Wei Dynasty.
However, these people didn't dare to offend Zu Hongming. They had no idea how powerful this old man was. If they acted rashly, they didn't know what kind of terrifying consequences they would face. Fortunately, Xiao Han's brain spun faster. He asked, "You kept telling us to leave this place, could it be that it has something to do with this Blood Devil Staff?"
Zu Hongming nodded.
