Chapter 740: Taking advantage of the situation and intercepting it
As night fell, the entire Confucius Mansion became quiet.
However, in a living room somewhere at this time, Kong Cheng, the patriarch of the family, could not calm down at all. After hearing Hu Guang's information, he became furious instantly.
He never imagined that such a thing would happen.
Kong Ling, Kong Ye's adopted son, had a very deep impression on him about this name.
For a child who grew up among beggars, being able to survive is enough to prove that he is not an ordinary person. From the moment the other party entered the Kong family, he could see his lone wolf-like character.
It is impossible for such a person to be completely loyal to anyone. Even if the Kong family takes him in and leads him on the path of spiritual practice, it will still be of no avail.
On the contrary, the stronger the opponent is, the greater the damage to the family may be if there is a backlash in the future.
Therefore, he didn't like the other party from the beginning. Even when the younger members of the clan isolated and ostracized him, he never interfered.
Too much?
He doesn't think so. Everyone's growth is not smooth sailing, and it is impossible to truly grow without any setbacks. Moreover, with Kong Ye around, the other party will only be rejected and isolated at most, but no matter whether it is food, clothing, or
There is never any shortage of spiritual resources.
He asked himself that the Kong family had done their best to be benevolent and owed nothing to the other party. If he had a desire for revenge because of this grievance, it would be enough to prove that he was a real wolf cub.
Later, in an accident, the other party's spiritual roots were damaged, and his path of cultivation was completely cut off. He no longer cared about him, and instead gave the other party the manor in the south of the city, allowing him to come and go freely.
Who would have thought that after so many years, something really happened.
Want to unite external forces to take action against him? He is really ruthless and ruthless, and he doesn’t even care about the Kong family’s many years of upbringing!
"The person who contacted the other party is a corpse cultivator who has reached the Nascent Soul stage. Do you know its origin?" After pondering for a moment, Hu Guang asked again.
"This junior is aware of this matter..." Kong Cheng did not hide anything, and immediately told the story about an ancient giant tomb hidden in the Xueling Mountains, and also mentioned an ancient corpse king inside.
In fact, the four major aristocratic families occupied Guanning Mansion with a mission, which was to monitor each other. It was just that it had been so long ago that the Corpse King had never shown his face, so for most people, it was natural that they would gradually
Forgot.
As the ancestor of the Kong family, he naturally knew that, like everyone else, he thought that the other party would remain silent forever, but he never thought that he would suddenly make trouble, and the target was still him.
It's like a man is just sitting at home, and trouble comes from the sky. Guan Ning Mansion obviously has four great families, so why do people who have no grievances and no hatred want to attack him?
Although he has never seen the other party, he has been able to exist since ancient times and is still under the surveillance of many forces. It can be seen that his strength is absolutely extraordinary. If he really falls into the hands of the other party, he may only die.
Fortunately, his life should not have been cut off. Senior Hu was there and he discovered the other party's plan in advance, so his original worries were of course nothing to worry about.
"Ancient Corpse King!" After listening to the other party's story, Hu Guang couldn't help but be a little surprised. He didn't expect such an existence. It was indeed a bit beyond his expectation.
As expected of the Great Jin Immortal Realm, there are really all kinds of strange and weird things. And you don’t need to think about it to know that the other party will definitely be difficult to deal with, otherwise it would be impossible to live well until now.
"This matter..." Hu Guang was about to say something, but a voice suddenly sounded in his ears. He swallowed the words immediately, and then changed the subject,
"Don't worry about this first. Don't attack that junior, and don't notify anyone, so as not to alert the snake. Then wait patiently, and when he starts to act, you will take advantage of it..."
"Don't worry, I won't act rashly." The person in front of me is a real late-stage Nascent Soul powerhouse. If this can't protect his life, who else can protect him? Even if he really notifies the Tiansheng Sect, he won't be able to do so.
Strong men of this level may be sent to help.
Of course he believed in the other party, and he trusted him without reservation.
Such an attitude naturally made Huguang very satisfied. He only felt that the descendant of his former friend was becoming more and more pleasing to the eye.
For ten years, the other party has not been able to find fault in anything, no matter what they say or do. This kind of kindness is really rare, and it is okay to provide some appropriate protection in the future.
After giving a few instructions again, Hu Guang did not stay any longer, and immediately stood up and left. Kong Cheng naturally saw him off in person, and when he returned again, the smile in his eyes could no longer be concealed.
So many years of hard work have not been in vain. Judging from the increasingly kind attitude of the other party, it is certain that the almost broken line has finally been reconnected.
Suddenly, he suddenly turned his head and glanced towards the south, and then murmured in a low voice:
"Kong Ye, Kong Ye, are you blind? You have spent so much effort in vain, but you have raised such a poisonous snake. I don't know if you will regret it?"
…
"Father, if you knew my decision today, would you regret adopting me?"
"I think I will, but I can't help it. The child has hatred in his heart, hates the Kong family, and hates everyone. If it weren't for them, how could I end up like this?"
"I was already in despair, but I never thought that hope would come again. I really don't want to give up..."
In a somewhat remote manor at the southern end of Lingyue City, in a certain room, a middle-aged man with a slightly older face was kneeling on the ground. In front of him was an altar table with two spiritual statues placed on it.
One of them is engraved with the word Kong Ye, and the other is his wife Zhang.
Kong Ye was not the only one who was kind to the middle-aged man. His adoptive mother, Zhang, also treated him as her own. Although they didn't get along for a long time, he truly felt the warmth of family affection when he was in poverty at a young age.
If his adoptive father and mother were still alive, he would not do anything to the Kong family no matter what.
But it's a pity that the two old people are no longer with them, and the bond in his heart has also dissipated. He has no nostalgia for the huge Kong family left.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Bang bang bang..." Banging his head three times in a row, the middle-aged man slowly stood up. The original guilt on his face had long since disappeared, replaced only by extreme coldness.
…
A few days later, it was a full moon night.
The two figures left Kong's Mansion at the same time and headed due east through the sky. The speed was very fast, and it didn't take long before they entered the Xueling Mountains.
It flew thousands of miles away at high speed, and when it reached the sky above a certain valley, the flight of light suddenly stopped.
Kong Cheng looked down, and what he saw was pitch black, like the mouth of a giant beast, which was trying its best to open, waiting for the prey to fall into the trap.
I let go of my spiritual consciousness and scanned it several times. Below is a huge valley with a depth of hundreds of feet. Other than that, I didn't find any other abnormalities.
"Is this where the ancient ruins you mentioned are located?" Kong Cheng's eyes flickered, then he turned to look at the person beside him and asked.
"It is indeed right here." Kong Ling nodded firmly,
"The entrance to the ruins is very hidden, and the outside is sealed by a layer of formation. It is difficult to find it here. Once you get down, the ancestors can see it."
"Really?" Kong Cheng murmured, and his frown suddenly relaxed. He did not fly down to the bottom of the valley to explore, but continued,
"Time flies so fast. I still remember when Ye'er brought you to the Kong family. At that time, you were only in your early ten years. Now, it has been more than three hundred years."
"Ancestor... why did you suddenly talk about this?" Kong Ling's expression changed slightly and he asked in an unnatural tone,
"It's nothing, I just suddenly felt something." Kong Cheng sighed again,
"Since you entered the Kong family, although you have encountered all kinds of difficulties from your peers because of your background, it is just a youthful spirit. The family has never lacked you in food, clothing, housing, and transportation, nor has it deprived you of any resources for cultivation. This
Can you admit this?"
"Young spirit? Have you not deprived of food, clothing, housing, transportation, and training resources?" Hearing this, Kong Ling suddenly smiled, a little sad. He suddenly realized something, and he was no longer cautious.
"You have been in seclusion all year round and rarely ask about the family's trivial affairs. How can you know the details? Are you sure you know all the dirty things hidden in this huge Kong family?"
"What do you mean by this?" Kong Cheng was stunned for a moment, vaguely feeling that he had overlooked something.
"What do you mean?" Kong Ling smiled coldly,
"It's been so long. It doesn't matter what I say anymore, and you may not believe it. If that's the case, what's the point of saying it?"
He glanced at the valley below and asked again,
"Looking at the current situation, it seems that you already know something, ancestor?"
"You have always been excellent and smart. If it hadn't been for that accident in the past, you would have become the second strong person in the Nascent Soul stage in your family." Kong Cheng did not deny it, and nodded slightly. At the same time, it was dark below.
A loud shout of shock and anger suddenly sounded in the deep valley, and violent fluctuations in spiritual power emerged.
"Really?" Seeing this scene, Kong Ling suddenly showed a wry smile,
"It seems that the ancestor has already seen through everything, and even found helpers in advance. However, the opponent is the ancient corpse king hidden deep in the Xueling Mountains. His strength is extraordinary, and ordinary Nascent Soul Stage monks are no match for him.
"
"Since we know who our opponent is in advance, how could I make such a mistake?" Kong Cheng snorted, suddenly feeling a little strange.
"I'm a little confused. Since you know you were exposed, why didn't you run away?"
"How could I escape in front of you?" Kong Ling shook his head slightly, paused, and suddenly asked,
"There is something I have never been sure of. Before I die, can my ancestor help me figure it out?"
"But it doesn't matter."
"Is it because of the accident that happened that you, or the entire Kong family, really can't tolerate me? Do you insist on putting me to death? Even collude with the devil?"
"Accident, you mean..." Kong Cheng was stunned, but suddenly he realized what he was doing and his expression suddenly changed.
"Do you think that the accident had something to do with me?"
"Is not it?"
"I'm not that dirty. If I really want your life, why bother? Isn't it better to just take action?" Kong Cheng snorted coldly.
"Isn't that right? That's fine. As for the rest of the Kong family... forget it, the matter is over, I don't want to care anymore, you can do it." A trace of relief flashed in Kong Ling's eyes, and there was also a trace of inexplicable relief, and then
Slowly closed his eyes.
"Whatever you want to do, you must speak clearly first." At this time, Kong Cheng had completely understood the meaning of the other party's words, and also vaguely guessed that this betrayal must be related to this.
This is normal. If it were him, his spiritual roots would be damaged due to the plot, his path of cultivation would be completely cut off, and his heart would be full of hatred. It is not surprising that he would take revenge.
He must find out whether this matter is true or not. If it is really done by a member of the Kong family, he will never forgive such a vicious villain who colluded with outsiders to frame his own people.
However, in the face of his questioning, Kong Ling remained indifferent, as if he was determined to die.
Kong Cheng became even more angry. He didn't expect this guy to be so stubborn. Unfortunately, he wanted to die and there was nothing he could do.
After thinking about it, he immediately raised his hand and slapped the opponent's vest, and then the glow filled the air, and he directly picked up the opponent and flew away in the direction he came from.
As for the battle in the valley below, he couldn't get involved, so he didn't need to pay attention to it.
Deep in the valley, three figures were fighting fiercely.
One of the parties was naturally Hu Guang, who had followed Kong Cheng in secret and took action the moment he found the target.
A 'Great Five Elements Immortal Capturing Hand', and without the opponent being prepared, directly hit the first figure wearing a high crown and a bloodless face until he vomited blood.
The opponent was none other than the ancient corpse king named Xuan Ye. He originally planned to ambush Kong Cheng, but he never thought that he would be attacked by a sneak attack before he could take action. Naturally, he was furious.
For a moment, the terrifying corpse energy exploded, instantly increasing his strength by a large amount.
However, even so, after several rounds of fighting with the newcomer, he still couldn't get any benefits. Even when he joined forces with General Ge next to him, he was always at a disadvantage.
At this moment, he finally realized that the person who took action was actually a strong person in the late Nascent Soul stage.
He suddenly panicked. If he were in the tomb, he would not be afraid, but now he is outside, and his strength is greatly restricted. How can he be the opponent of the powerful late Nascent Soul?
The moment he discovered the situation, he immediately wanted to retreat.
However, things are not that simple. If he wants to run away, he has to ask Guang to agree.
With Mo Juren's instructions, Hu Guang naturally would not let the opponent go. He struck without any reservation, and each time he struck harder and harder, the two corpses of the opponent were almost out of breath.
The Corpse King Xuan Ye is really not that simple. His physical strength is beyond expectation. He even received a blow from the 'Big Five Elements Capturing Immortal Hand' but it didn't cause any serious problems. He is still alive and well.
But that was all. As Hu Guang continued to attack with all his strength, the two corpses gradually became weak.
"Can you tell me the name of this fellow Taoist? I have never offended you, so why do you insist on putting me to death?" King Xuan Ye said quickly and sternly after forcing back another attack.
"Hmph..." Hu Guang sneered, but did not give the other party any explanation at all, and the attacks in his hands became faster and faster. Seeing this scene, King Xuan Ye still didn't know that the other party was determined to take his life.
"My king will leave first, and my subordinates will take the lead for you." But at this moment, General Ge beside him shouted loudly, and the corpse energy in his body instantly surged, and then turned into a gray light and hit Huguang.
