C43 Preparing for a Rainy Day
C43 Preparing for a Rainy Day
The young disciples of the two families that entered the secret realm were the outstanding geniuses of their respective families, the future pillars of their families.
If anything were to happen, all of them would die inside. There would definitely be a gap in the future cultivation of the Hong family.
"Xu Feng, you are tricking this old man, right? Has something happened to Qing Yun and the others?"
Hong Annshi looked at Xu Feng with an oppressive gaze.
A Martial Essence Stage warrior, even if it was just a gaze, it still carried an oppressive pressure. If it was any other ordinary person, under the circumstances of having a guilty conscience, they would definitely reveal a flaw and panic.
Xu Feng's heart also tightened, but he quickly regained his composure. He looked at Hong Annshi, and there was no sign of panic.
"Master of Hong family, if it wasn't for our quick escape, all the disciples of Xu family would have been captured by you all. Sooner or later, this young master will find Hong Qingyun and settle this score with him!"
Xu Feng was putting on an act. The victim's tone was filled with righteous indignation.
A figure sped towards the entrance of the secret realm. It was Xu Tianci.
He was worried about Xu Lei's safety. He did not even bother to ask Xu Yonghui, the patriarch, to take action.
"Tianci, come back!"
Xu Yonghui stopped him, but Xu Tianci turned a deaf ear to him.
"Patriarch, let the Great Elder go in. If we bump into a disciple of the Hong family, perhaps the Great Elder can help us regain our reputation and make a contribution." Xu Feng said in a deep voice.
Hong Annshi coldly harrumphed and ordered the people of the Hong family to arrange a retreat. Only a few experts were left waiting outside, and then they personally entered the secret realm.
"Feng, what happened to Xu Lei and the others? If the situation is critical, I have to make a trip there myself."
Xu Lei was Xu Yonghui's biological grandson after all. Although he was dissatisfied with this grandson, Xu Yonghui cared about family and his life.
Xu Feng's body suddenly turned soft, his Qi became chaotic, and his facial expression became very ugly.
The side effect of the Explosive Yuan Pill and the puppet had severely overdrawn Xu Feng's energy. Xu Feng finally couldn't hold on any longer, and was on the verge of collapse.
Xu Yonghui quickly held Xu Feng up, and placed a hand on Xu Feng's back. Boundless Yuan Qi was being channeled into Xu Feng's body.
"Retreat... Before Hong Annshi finds out the truth, retreat from Ululating Mountain!"
Xu Feng whispered into Xu Yonghui's ear.
"The truth?"
"All the disciples of Hong family were killed. Xu Lei betrayed his family and died. The other two disciples of the same family were also killed. "
Xu Feng explained the situation in a concise and concise manner. He used a voice that only Xu Yonghui, who was standing beside him, could hear.
Xu Yonghui sucked in a breath of cold air. His expression was shocked, but he reacted in an instant. He immediately gave the order for the people of the Xu family to retreat.
"Second Elder, bring Xu Feng back. You must protect him well."
The Second Elder took over Xu Feng and nodded in agreement.
Xu Yonghui was about to make a move when Xu Feng pulled his sleeve.
"Grandfather, you want to go in too? There's no need to take this risk, right?"
"When Hong Qingyun finds out the truth, he will definitely vent his anger on Tianci. Although he has many faults, he is still my son. I have to protect his safety."
Xu Yonghui explained.
Xu Feng wanted to say something but stopped himself. He sighed and let go of his hand. "You have to be careful."
The reason why Xu Feng didn't announce Xu Lei's death immediately after coming out was because it would cause unnecessary trouble. It was more important to retreat. Secondly, he wanted to cheat Xu Tianci once.
Xu Lei dared to collude with Hong Qingyun and betray the family. Xu Tianci must be a wolf with wild ambitions. Xu Feng wanted to kill him for both public and private reasons.
However, Xu Feng couldn't stop Xu Yonghui. There was nothing wrong with familial love.
The Second Elder organized the retreat of the Xu family. Several Martial Arts Ninth Layer warriors protected them all the way to clear the danger. They blocked the huge rocks that fell from the ceiling of the cave and left the cave safely.
The Hong family also left a group of people in Ululating Mountain to wait for Hong Annshi.
Xu Feng strongly requested all the disciples of the Xu family to leave Ululating Mountain and abandon all the properties of the Xu family.
Some elders raised their doubts, thinking that although the disturbance in Ululating Mountain was huge, the result might not be so bad that they would have to abandon this place.
There were often 'Earth Dragons turning over their heads'. The earth was shaking and the mountains were shaking. It would only take a few moments for the mountains to collapse and the mountains to collapse. After that, it would not be a big deal.
However, they did not know that the underground of Ululating Mountain was an active magma pool. This was not the 'Earth Dragon Turn Over', but the eruption of a volcano!
There was no way to explain it clearly at such a critical moment. Xu Feng only said that the mountain would not only collapse, but the property would also cease to exist in the future.
The Second Elder had a friendly and trusting attitude toward Xu Feng. He decided to follow Xu Feng's words and leave Ululating Mountain with his people.
Xu Feng returned to his family and passed out due to exhaustion.
When he woke up again, it was already midnight. The one who was guarding him was the family head, Xu Yonghui.
"Feng, you're awake? How do you feel?"
Xu Yonghui looked at Xu Feng with loving eyes.
Something in Xu Feng's heart was melting.
At this moment, there must be a lot of complicated things waiting to be dealt with in the family. As the head of the family, his grandfather stayed by his side and waited for him to wake up.
"Grandfather, I'm fine."
As his cultivation realm fell, Xu Feng felt a sense of weakness in his bones. However, his overdrawn body had already returned to normal, and his Qi Sea was full.
It must be because he was in a deep sleep, and his grandfather had instilled a large amount of Yuan Qi into him, helping him recover.
"You have contributed a lot to the Xu family disciples who were able to escape unscathed this time. Good, good, as expected of my good grandson... "
Xu Yonghui felt gratified and said.
Hearing what his grandfather said, Xu Feng knew that his grandfather had already understood what had happened in the secret realm.
The grandfather and grandson had a long conversation. Xu Feng also knew about the many things that had happened after they left Ululating Mountain.
A volcano erupted in Ululating Mountain. The mine in the core area was swallowed by the magma. The entire mountain had become a place of extinction.
After Patriarch Hong and Hong Annshi entered the secret realm, they found the corpses of the Hong family's disciples. When they saw their grandson, Hong Qingyun, die tragically, they became furious. Once again, an intense battle broke out between them and Xu Yonghui, who had entered the secret realm to search for Xu Tianci.
Two great Martial Essence Stage Expert escaped before the volcano erupted, and Hong Annshi was temporarily defeated.
The Xu family's Great Elder, Xu Tianci, also managed to escape the secret realm by a narrow margin.
"Cough cough..."
After Xu Yonghui explained the general situation, he couldn't help but cough. There was a brief moment of withering on his face. Although he recovered quickly, Xu Feng found something unusual about him.
"Grandpa, are you hurt?" Xu Feng's heart sank. He was worried for Xu Yonghui.
Xu Feng had heard about Xu Yonghui's condition from his master, Master Yun.
He had been in seclusion for ten years, and his injuries had recovered. However, it was difficult for him to recover from his chronic illness. Although he had the combat strength of a Martial Essence Stage warrior, it was not suitable for him to fight someone.
In other words, every time Xu Yonghui fought with someone, he would first injure himself before hurting others, and it was not suitable for him to fight for a long time.
Hong Annshi was no match for Xu Yonghui, who had not suffered any serious injuries ten years ago. But now, even though Xu Yonghui could still gain the upper hand after ten years, he still relied on his explosive strength.
With Xu Yonghui as the center, a strong wind spread out in all directions. This was because Xu Yonghui could not even control his own Yuan Qi fluctuations, and his Qi was abnormally disordered.
Xu Yonghui coughed again, and blood flowed out of the corner of his mouth.
Xu Feng hurriedly took out a bottle of Energy Replenishing Pill from his body. He was about to pour out a few pills for Xu Yonghui to consume when Xu Yonghui waved his hand to stop him.
"I have already used the medicine, so don't waste this' Energy Replenishing Pill '."
Xu Feng stubbornly let Xu Yonghui accept it. Regardless of whether this' Energy Replenishing Pill 'had any effect on his grandfather in the Martial Essence Stage Realm, it was still a token of his appreciation. This was the best healing Medicine Pill that Xu Feng could take out right now.
Xu Yonghui couldn't refuse it, so he could only accept it. There was no longer any estrangement between grandfather and grandson, and the kinship between them was even deeper.
"Grandfather, don't worry. I followed Master to cultivate alchemy, but I have some achievements. I will definitely think of ways to treat grandfather's chronic illness. You must take care of your health..."
"Good child, good child! Grandfather believes that you will definitely have great achievements in the future. Grandfather has something to tell you. I have already selected a group of elites from my clan. Tomorrow morning, they will leave with you. You must prepare well."
Xu Yonghui suddenly changed the topic and said to Xu Feng.
"Leave? Where to?" Xu Feng had a bad premonition, but he still asked.
"Leave Celestial Wind City and lead them to another path. When you have enough strength in the future... Come back and avenge us. Feng, you have a heavy responsibility and responsibility. You must ensure the continuation of the bloodline of the Xu family, and protect the fire of the Xu family. The most important thing is to protect yourself."
As Xu Yonghui spoke, he coughed even harder, and he couldn't help but vomit a few mouthfuls of blood. The blood was dark brown, and it carried a foul smell.
This meant that his Qi and blood had deteriorated to an extremely serious extent.
Xu Feng wasn't stupid. After thinking for a while, he knew why Xu Yonghui had made this decision.
In the two consecutive battles with Hong Annshi in Ululating Mountain, although Xu Yonghui had forced Hong Annshi to retreat, his injuries were extremely serious.
Therefore, he had to prepare for the worst. He had to do his best to cover up his injuries and arrange for some of his clansmen to retreat.
"Grandfather, if you want me to listen to your arrangements, please tell me the truth..."
Xu Feng asked Xu Yonghui. As he had expected, after forcing Hong Annshi to retreat, Xu Yonghui had completely erupted. However, he had severely overdrawn his body and had a chronic relapse.
By his current estimation, if his injuries did not worsen and stabilize, he could only barely have the strength of a peak Martial Arts Ninth Layer. It was absolutely not suitable for him to fight a Martial Essence Stage warrior again.
If Hong Annshi saw through his current situation and made a comeback, Xu Yonghui would definitely not be able to hold on for another two or three moves at most. If he continued to fight forcefully, the result would be that he would burn himself and pay the price of his death in exchange for the last chance to fight.
Hong family had suffered a great loss this time, although only ten young disciples had died. Furthermore, Hong Qingyun was the grandson of Patriarch Hong. Furthermore, he had already been decided to be the Young Patriarch of the Hong family. After coming out from the secret realm, Hong Qingyun's status in the Hong family was going to rise.
Hong Annshi would definitely not be able to bear such a huge grudge.
Although he had lost the upper hand and was forced to retreat, his injuries were not serious. He would definitely make a comeback after recovering from his injuries.
Xu Yonghui's real situation could not be covered up for long. The Xu family was not an iron board. The news would be leaked sooner or later.
The overall strength of the Hong family was stronger than the Xu family. If Xu Yonghui lost his deterrence, it would be the day of the Xu family's extinction.
Before the Hong family could react, they secretly sent away a group of young elites. Xu Feng, the leader of the group, would lead the group and leave some roots for the Xu family.
"Chief, I request that you stay and fight with your family to the death!"
