Ding Hao and Ding Yue, father and son, stared at each other face to face.
I don't know how much time passed, but Ding Yue looked lonely and said in a low voice: "Your mother's name is Qin Yuyan, she is the goddess of the previous generation of Shenxiao Dao Sect. If she had not fallen in love with me, I am afraid that all the Dao sect forces in the Eastern Continent would be dead now.
Led by your mother.
There is no need to tell you more about how your mother and I met and fell in love. Anyway, after our relationship was known by Shenxiao Daozong and the Ding family, we suffered a devastating blow almost immediately.
Our Ding family is a little better. Although your grandfather strongly opposes it, everyone knows that he is actually quite proud. He even thinks that this is the most anger-free thing I can do for the Demon Sect at my age.
But the power of Shenxiao Dao Sect, let alone in the Eastern Continent, I am afraid that no sect in the entire Tianxuan Sect can match their strength.
It is precisely because of this that the Shenxiao Dao Sect regarded this incident as a great shame for the Taoist sect. When they knew that the second-generation goddess they had carefully cultivated for many years fell in love with me and had you, they mobilized the power of the sect.
They began to hunt down and persecute our family of three.
And your grandfather knows that with the strength of our Ding family, we simply cannot compete with the Taoist forces represented by Shenxiao Dao Sect, but even so, he tried his best to protect the three of us. But the Ding family is not just the three of us, and
The Huang family, the Shang family, and our Ding family have always been good friends.
I also know what it means to go against Shenxiao Daozong, so I tried my best to dissuade your grandfather and let him think twice before taking action for the sake of the lives of hundreds of people in the three families.
But your grandfather was so angry that he went to the Heavenly Demon Palace to find the Heavenly Demon Murong Yuan, hoping that the Heavenly Demon would come forward to seek justice.
But at that time, Murong Yuan was in seclusion and wanted to survive the second heavenly tribulation. So he didn't have time to meet your grandfather, which is why. Your grandfather wanted to protect the Ding family, including the Huang family and the Shang family, from suffering the persecution of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
A devastating blow.
In desperation, he pretended to be furious on the surface. He even sent some experts from the family to pretend to hunt down the three of us. In fact, he was secretly protecting us from the persecution of the Shenxiao Dao Sect.
But even so, your mother and I knew that there was no place for us in the entire Eastern Continent. That’s why we fled across the sea, hoping to go to other continents to escape the pursuit of Shenxiao Dao Sect.
But because I don't like cultivating, so in hiding, it doesn't play any role at all. It's all about your mother fighting against them.
In the end, due to the situation, your mother faced their pursuit alone, hoping to buy time for the two of us to escape.
Because of my low cultivation level, even though I escaped temporarily, I knew that I would definitely not be able to protect you, so I entrusted you to Uncle Li, the slave who had taken care of me since I grew up.
Uncle Li took you to escape. In the vast sea, I don't know where Uncle Li took you to escape. The final result was that because of your mother's desperate cover, she herself was captured by Shenxiao Daozong.
Until now, he has been imprisoned in the heavenly prison of Shenxiao Dao Sect.
And at the last moment, I was rescued by the family's reinforcements and hid in the Southern Continent for thirty years. But you disappeared without a trace."
After listening to Ding Yue's narration, Ding Hao's eyes became slightly moist for the first time since he had grown so big, and then he remained silent for a long time.
I don’t know how much time passed, an hour or a day?
But it wasn't until Ding Hao felt calm that he nodded and said in a choked voice: "I see, so to speak. The Shenxiao Dao Sect is our enemy. It seems that I wrongly blamed Ding Lie.
He’s an old man.”
Just after Ding Hao finished speaking, a white light appeared in the secret room, and Ding Lie's figure appeared out of thin air.
Ding Lie also looked at Ding Hao with a somewhat sad expression, then nodded and said: "How have you lived for so many years? But now that you are back, don't leave in the future. Stay at the Ding family.
Let's work together to find a way to rescue your mother from the Shenxiao Dao Sect. After this incident, your grandma has arranged it for many years. Many plans have been made. However, the Shenxiao Dao Sect is extremely powerful. So far, we have also
We are not completely sure of being hostile to them, and the forces of our Demon Sect cannot unite as one, so..."
Nodding, Ding Hao said in a deep voice: "How many loose immortals are there behind the Shenxiao Dao Sect? Are they all people who have survived several heavenly tribulations?"
His face was slightly surprised, but Ding Lie still answered: "I don't know the details, but according to the news, there should be at least six loose immortals, and among them, the one with the highest cultivation level has probably survived the fifth heavenly tribulation.
.
And in addition to the six loose immortals, there are at least three masters who have transcended the tribulation stage. I am afraid that there is no sect in the entire continent that can compete with them alone!"
Hearing what Ding Lie said, Ding Hao was shocked and remained silent for a long time. After a long time, Ding Hao spoke again: "What is the strength of the Ding family?"
With a wry smile, Ding Lie said: "Except for one of my ancestors who has survived three heavenly tribulations, I have just survived one heavenly tribulation during the tribulation period, and your grandma, who has been in retreat now, is also
In order to cope with the coming of the first natural disaster, this is all the strength of the Ding family. As for the Huang family and the Shang family, the situation is generally the same."
Nodding, Ding Hao said bitterly: "No wonder you can only endure it for so many years. The road ahead is indeed long!"
After hearing what Ding Hao said, Ding Lie and Ding Yue both smiled bitterly, not knowing what to say.
Ding Hao saw the two men smiling bitterly and was speechless, and he also knew their dilemma. After thinking about it, he took out several items from the storage ring, namely the vortex brain, ten thousand year fir wood, sulfur fire jade, and dragon bone.
, Black Soul Stone.
These items are all the necessities needed to transform into a loose demon cultivator after failing to overcome the tribulation. They were the items that Ding Hao prepared in order to impress Xuantian Leng Cunyu.
At first, I gave a portion to Xuantian, but there was still some left. But now I heard that my grandma was about to survive the first heavenly tribulation, so I took it out.
"These items are some of the remaining items that I prepared for another person to go through the tribulation. Since someone in your Ding family is going to go through the tribulation, I gave them to you just in case." Ding Hao said lightly, as if he was talking about himself.
Irrelevant things.
Hearing the tone of Ding Hao's speech, Na Ding Yue sighed sadly and said: "Since you already know the truth of the matter, don't you still refuse to recognize your ancestors and return to your clan? In any case, there is something in your body that
The blood of the Ding family is still flowing, and even you yourself can’t deny this, right?"
When Ding Yue said this, Ding Lie also looked at Ding Hao with piercing eyes.
Ding Hao shook his head and said with certainty: "I will never return to the Ding family! And I am not alone now. For the sake of my own sect, I can't always stay in your Ding family, and for your Ding family
What to do. As for my mother's matter, I will figure it out myself. Even if I have anything to do with your Ding family in the future, it will at most be a cooperative relationship.
"
Hearing what Ding Hao said, Ding Lie's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "You mean your kid also has a sect. Uh... your own sect?"
Nodding, Ding Hao said proudly: "Yes, although this sect is not as powerful as your Ding family for the time being, as long as you give me some time. In just one hundred years, my own sect can surpass your Ding family's current strength.
strength.
I know what you are thinking. But I will not take over the power of your Ding family, nor do I intend to be the third generation leader of your Ding, Huang, and Shang families."
At this point, Ding Hao's eyes were strange and he said slowly: "Those things that are easily accessible have no appeal to me at all.
What I value is the process of accumulating strength bit by bit. This process is also the purpose of my practice. Maybe one day my sect will become one of the top sects in Tianxuan Continent, but I hope that this is the result of my little efforts.
, instead of relying on your Ding family’s help!”
After Ding Hao said this, Ding Lie and Ding Yue stared at Ding Hao for a long time without saying anything.
After another moment, Ding Lie nodded and said: "Although I hope you can help take care of the Ding family's family business. But since you said so, I also respect your decision. But no matter what, you
We are all members of the Ding family. If you come to the Ding family's place usefully, the Ding family will definitely help you with all their strength."
Speaking of this, Ding Lie took out the vortex spirit brain and dragon bone from among the items that Ding Hao had just taken out, and then said: "Our Ding family has several other items. However, these two items are indeed lacking.
Although the Huang family and the Shang family may also have it, if you want to get it from them, you will definitely have to pay a price. Since it is yours, I will not postpone it and thank you on behalf of your grandma. "
After putting away those two items, Ding Lie murmured in a low voice: "This brat is very wealthy, and he is actually a rich owner. He made me feel embarrassed to take out the several gifts I prepared for the meeting!"
Ding Hao also heard clearly what he muttered in a low voice. He smiled slightly and didn't say anything.
At this time, Ding Lie smiled coquettishly, looked at Ding Hao somewhat flatteringly, and said: "I promised my grandson, that... hehe... you must represent the Ding family in the Zhantian Sect Association. Our Ding family includes the Demon Sect.
It’s been many years since you’ve been in the spotlight, and now you finally show up, so you have to make a good show of yourself!”
Hearing that Ding Lie still mentioned this matter, Ding Hao pondered for a moment and said, "If my appearance attracts the attention of the Shenxiao Dao Sect, will it..."
"Don't worry, the leader of the Shenxiao Dao Sect fought with the demon Murong Yuan twenty years ago. Both of them were injured at the same time, and they are both in seclusion to recuperate. Without that old woman, Shenxiao will not be able to survive in a short period of time.
Daozong will not do anything to you, those old monsters from Shenxiao Daozong will not care about these messy things!" Ding Lie said carelessly.
But later, after seeing Ding Hao's eyes light up, he hurriedly added: "But if you want to cause trouble for Shenxiao Dao Sect, they will definitely not let you leave alive, so you'd better save your energy!
"
Nodding, Ding Hao sighed helplessly and said: "In this case, I will leave the Eastern Continent after participating in the Zhantian Sect Meeting!"
