In the bamboo forest, a gentle breeze blew down, blowing down the green bamboo leaves.
Li Min glanced at Zhang Ruochen secretly, pursed her lips, and said slightly nervously: "It is taboo to talk about the young patriarch. Once outsiders hear it, you will be severely punished." Zhang Ruochen released the space domain,
Covering a ten-foot radius, Li Min was enveloped, and then he said: "Now, no one can hear our conversation. Can you tell me, what is going on?"
Li Min didn't know what methods Zhang Ruochen used, but Zhang Ruochen was a semi-saint after all. Since he said that if you can't hear their conversation without anyone, outsiders will certainly not be able to hear it.
"It's not a secret. In fact, the patriarch of the Zhenyu Ancient Clan two hundred years ago was not the current patriarch. Instead, Shi Ren's grandfather, Shi Mingyuan, is also called the old patriarch by us."
Zhang Ruochen remembered the name "Shi Mingyuan". To be able to become the patriarch of an ancient clan, he must be no ordinary person.
Li Min looked lively and said: "At that time, Patriarch Shi entered the fifteenth floor of the Netherworld Dungeon, retreated to the death gate, and hit the realm of the Holy King. If everything goes well, it will only take three years at most, and Patriarch Shi should be able to successfully break through the realm.
.
"However, Patriarch Shi has been in seclusion in the dungeon on the fifteenth floor for thirty years and has not come out. Therefore, many people speculated that Patriarch Shi failed in his attempt to reach the realm and died in the dungeon on the fifteenth floor."
"It is naturally impossible for the Zhenyu Ancient Clan to remain without a clan leader. Therefore, at that time, Wang Beilie, the head of the Wang family, quickly became the new clan leader because of his profound cultivation and strong skills."
"On the day he succeeded the clan leader, Wang Beilie personally promised that he would immediately step down from the position of clan leader as long as clan leader Shi came out of seclusion. At the same time, he also personally appointed the eldest son of clan leader Shi as the young clan leader. As long as the young clan leader's cultivation level can reach the level of
If he reaches the holy realm, he will immediately abdicate and make way for someone worthy of him."
Zhang Ruochen nodded slightly and said, "In other words, the young patriarch at that time was Shi Ren's father?"
"That's right." Li Min said.
Zhang Ruochen asked: "So, did Shi Ren's father attack the holy realm?"
Li Min looked around with his eyes. Apparently, he was still quite worried about being eavesdropped. He made sure that outsiders could not hear their conversation, and then said: "Shi Ren's father is only a little short of reaching the holy realm. It's a pity that
, but at the last critical moment, he went crazy and turned into a murderous monster with blood-red hair all over his body."
"On a full moon night, he rushed into the gathering place of the clan and killed many innocent people. In the end, it was the current clan leader who suppressed him and imprisoned him in the Netherworld Dungeon."
"This matter has always been a forbidden topic in the clan. I only found out about it when I overheard the conversation between the two ancestors."
Zhang Ruochen always felt something strange and asked, "Is Shi Ren's father really obsessed with it?"
"Actually, I also feel something is wrong. You know, the Shi family majors in spiritual power and talismans. Even people who have become saints in martial arts have extremely strong willpower, not to mention that Shi Ren's father has become a saint in spiritual power.
Characters are even less likely to go crazy.
Li Min blinked her big beautiful eyes and asked in a low voice: "Zhang Ruochen, do you think Wang Beilie used some dark means to cause such consequences? After all, he is the biggest beneficiary of the whole incident.
.”
"You little girl, you are a little bold, you dare to call the clan leader by his first name." Zhang Ruochen said with a smile.
Li Min's apricot eyes widened, obviously dissatisfied with the title "little girl". He straightened his chest slightly, raised his white chin, and said: "I am already sixteen years old, how can I still be young? You are not much older than me.
,Why do you call me little girl?"
Zhang Ruochen looked her up and down, then shook his head and smiled, saying: "Do you know how powerful the saint's senses are? Fortunately, it is inside the space field. If it is outside, even thousands of miles away, there are people
Even if you recite the saint's name, he will hear it."
"snort!"
Li Min folded his hands in front of his chest, flattened his lips and said, "You asked me to tell you the secrets of the clan. Now, you want to lecture me. If I had known better, I shouldn't have told you so much." In the past, this
The little girl still pretended to be very reserved, like a well-educated and frail girl.
Ever since she and Zhang Ruochen went to Wanxiang County once, she no longer used reserve to disguise herself and showed her arrogant side.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen didn't mean anything else, he was just reminding her.
If she accidentally said the wrong thing and offended the leader of the Zhenyu Ancient Clan, he would kill her silently with just one thought.
Based on some things Li Min had told previously, Zhang Ruochen always felt that Wang Beilie, the current leader of the Zhenyu Ancient Clan, might not be a good man or woman.
To be precise, how many people in high positions are not full of blood?
Even the mighty and virtuous female Holy Queen killed her fiancé and slaughtered countless lives before she could secure her current position?
Zhang Ruochen touched his chin with his palm, his eyes became sharp, and said: "After Shi Ren's father was imprisoned in the Netherworld Dungeon, Shi Ren became the new young patriarch?"
"That's right."
Li Min seemed hesitant to speak, and said: "However... the young patriarch almost died when he broke through to the semi-saint realm."
"What's going on?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Li Min said: "I'm not sure what happened. It is said that not long after the young patriarch broke through to the semi-saint realm, he was assassinated by the undead vampires. It was the young patriarch's wife who used her own life to help the young patriarch block the inevitable death.
Only one blow saved the young patriarch."
Shi Ren went to the underworld with the intention of dying, just to find the medicine to bring the dead back to life and save his wife. This shows that the relationship between them must be very deep.
Ruoruo, it is really Wang Beili who is planning a series of events behind the scenes.
Then, Shi Ren and the Wang family really have a deep hatred. At the same time, Shi Ren's current situation is probably like walking on thin ice, with murderous intentions everywhere. If he is not careful, he will be doomed.
Xiao Hei lay on the ground, holding a jade-white thousand-year-old crow in his paws, eating each bite, and said: "The water in the Zhenyu Ancient Clan is really unusually deep. Zhang Ruochen, I think,
It’s better to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, otherwise, with your current cultivation level, how can you fight those old guys?”
Zhang Ruochen shook his head and said: "Now, even if we want to leave, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!"
At this moment, Zhang Ruochen noticed something, raised his head and looked towards the bottom of Zhujie Mountain.
At the bottom of the mountain, a white cloud appeared, covering most of the mountain.
"Why did it suddenly fog up?"
Li Min walked to the edge of the cliff and looked down, feeling a little surprised.
Zhang Ruochen said: "That is the spiritual energy of heaven and earth mobilized by the saint with his holy soul, which gathered towards Zhujie Mountain."
Even at Zhang Ruochen's current state, he had to use his heavenly eyes to see clearly the dozens of figures in the clouds.
Those dozen figures were walking towards the top of Zhujie Mountain.
At the same time, the monks in the clouds and mist also noticed Zhang Ruochen's gaze and used their mental power to lock him in.
Immediately afterwards, a loud shout sounded from the white clouds, "Zhang Ruochen, I didn't expect you to hide in the Pluto Sword Tomb. Let's see where you can escape this time?"
A crimson figure rushed out of the clouds and mist, passed through the layers of formation barriers, and soon climbed to the top of the mountain, appearing opposite Zhang Ruochen.
This man was very strong, three meters tall. He wore a simple battle armor, exposing his abdomen, arms, and legs. He had a chain as thick as a bowl around his waist, and wore a pair of silver-scale combat boots at his feet.
It was none other than the Giant Scorpion King of the Ministry of War, Feng Qin.
Zhang Ruochen was on the border of Qingli County, when he was attacking the Tenth Transformation of Fish and Dragon, he was surrounded and killed by seven masters of the Ministry of War. Feng Qiao was one of them.
Without any nonsense, Feng Qiao was as fast as the wind. In an instant, he rushed in front of Zhang Ruochen, made a fist with five fingers, and hit Zhang Ruochen's chest.
The distance was too close, but the speed of the wind bird was also astonishingly fast.
Therefore, Zhang Ruochen couldn't dodge at all and could only block it head on.
"The Tribulation of the Divine Dragon." Dense golden dragon scales emerged from Zhang Ruochen's palm, and crimson flames burst out, colliding with Feng Qin's fist.
Fengqin's fist is integrated with the rules of boxing and wind. Not only is it extremely powerful, but it can also break the rules of the holy way between heaven and earth. The power of the explosion is naturally superimposed layer by layer.
Zhang Ruochen's palm technique is a unique skill, and it also has the rules of palm and fire.
The fists and palms met and immediately formed a powerful counter force, shattering all the green bamboos within a radius of ten feet and turning them into powder.
Fortunately, there were many defensive formations deployed in Zhujie Mountain, so the power unleashed by the two Half-Saints was controlled within a certain range and did not spread out.
Zhang Ruochen retreated ten feet away before neutralizing Feng Qin's punch and steadying his steps.
Feng Qin stood motionless on the spot, stared at Zhang Ruochen in slight surprise, and said: "You are only at the first-level semi-saint level, and you can block my one move, the Hundred Battle Bull Demon Fist. Without the blessing of the Pure Fire, your
The strength is indeed very strong, no wonder you dare to attack Ziyongguan. But, how many punches can you block?"
Zhang Ruochen moved his five fingers, mobilizing the holy energy and entering the meridians in his arm to relieve the pain.
Just when Feng Qiao was about to take action again, Li Min, who was standing aside, shouted: "Stop... this... this is the Pluto Sword Tomb. Even people from the Ministry of War... cannot break the rules. Whoever breaks the rules
, they are the enemies of the Zhenyu Ancient Clan.”
Originally, Li Min was still a little afraid of Feng Qin's identity and cultivation, but as he talked, for some reason, he was no longer afraid and straightened his slender waist.
