Later, Zhu Tianlei also got a little clue. Lao Lan kept it hidden before, but it was actually because he was not sure of his ability. Although he kept saying that he was the return of his ancestors, in the past few hundred years, he had mastered everything about the Ling family.
The most powerful person is the Lan family. It's not that the Lan family has any disobedience, but that after guarding something for too long, they become more and more cautious and don't dare to let it go.
What's a good analogy? It's like a daughter who has been pampered since she was a child. She wants to be loved by the stars but not by the moon. She wants to marry someone one day. She knows that the other person has a good character and a good family background, and even has a good background in all aspects. But when she becomes the daughter of her parents,
He just couldn't bear to let go. After all, it was his beloved, and it belonged to the whole world. How could he hand it over so easily?
"Okay, then I'm all ears."
Zhu Tianlei was ready to listen again. This Piaomiao Peak had as many secrets as stars, so he didn't plan to ask any questions and let Lao Lan speak for himself.
"The Ling family, and even the four major families, have a common enemy, but just like the four major families, this enemy was defeated by the ancestor, and the entire family quickly withered. There have been few traces of it for hundreds of years, but just like
Three years ago, this enemy appeared again."
Zhu Tianlei frowned, what kind of enemy could actually make the four major families feel afraid.
"Not only did he appear, he also issued a letter of challenge to Piaomiao Peak and the four major families. Even some of your information was leaked by the other party."
What's the meaning?
"You mean, he wants to confirm my identity earlier than you?"
"yes."
This is really a shame.
"Lao Lan, since the other party is the enemy of the Ling family, shouldn't he strike first and strangle me before I become a mature person? Why would he tell you my news?"
"Because his methods are not enough to deal with you."
Can't?
Zhu Tianlei felt that Lao Lan's statement was not very credible. His skills in Piaomiao Peak could only be considered mid-range. If the enemy was as ineffective as Lao Lan said, then Piaomiao Peak could kill him by itself. Why bother?
We must also find ways to bring back our ancestor.
"Young Master, you have already fought."
Have you fought?
Zhu Tianlei was even more confused now.
who is it?
Bai Feng? Hei Ye?
They don't look alike.
"You're not... you're talking about the mastermind who devised various schemes to bring me down in Yunhai City, are you?"
This is the opponent that Zhu Tianlei can think of that makes him most fearful.
Lao Lan nodded.
"Political enemy?"
Zhu Tianlei couldn't believe his ears. Shouldn't it be a competition of cultivation and skills? How could it be a conspiracy or political means?
"Do you know his background and identity?"
All the cells in Zhu Tianlei's body were agitated. God knows he has been thinking about this problem all this time, because as long as the mastermind behind the scenes doesn't show up, he will feel like a thorn in his back.
Lao Lan shook his head.
Isn't it?
Zhu Tianlei's newly agitated cells were suppressed by Lao Lan's attitude before they could fully activate.
"Didn't you already declare a challenge?"
"Yes, but we don't know his true identity, at least not yet."
Zhu Tianlei almost slammed the table.
How can we fight this battle? We don't even know who the opponent is yet. If he hadn't been lucky, he might have been killed by the opponent before. He originally thought that this time he could find out the mastermind at once.
"Then why did you bring me and that girl up to the mountain in such a hurry?"
Is the mountain breeze blowing?
Of course, Zhu Tianlei did not come on his own initiative to appear in Kunlun Mountain, but Lao Lan and even the four major families worked together to attract him step by step.
"Although we don't know the other party's true identity yet, we have other clues."
Zhu Tianlei's eyes lit up again.
To be honest, what interests Zhu Tianlei the most right now is the mastermind who framed him that day.
"Ever since the other party's declaration of war came to Piaomiao Peak three years ago, we have begun to track down the other party's clues. Since the other party's family disappeared almost overnight, and disappeared completely without leaving any traces, we want to
It is very difficult to trace, but when the young master went to Sichuandu, we discovered that the other party's people also appeared in Sichuandu."
"Did you follow me to Sichuandu?"
Zhu Tianlei frowned, okay, he didn't notice it at all at the time.
"Uncle Sang is our outside line."
Zhu Tianlei was shocked. No wonder Uncle Sang would say so much to him at once. Although he felt strange at the time, he didn't think about it deeply. After all, the reasons given by Uncle Sang were reasonable. But now that he thinks about it, the timing of Uncle Sang's appearance
What a coincidence.
So Daodi's ability to cooperate so well has something to do with Uncle Sang.
"He has no aura in him."
"Uncle Sang is not from Piaomiao Peak, he is just an outsider."
Zhu Tianlei understood that just like Taier Forest, Yue Bo, Mo Qing Mo Xia and others were all from Taier Forest, while Gong Yan, Qiu Mo and others, like Uncle Sang, were all outsiders of Taier Forest.
"After you left, that man went to see Uncle Sang and wanted to discuss a business deal with him."
"Let Uncle Sang persuade Dao Di not to go to Yunhai?"
Lao Lan nodded.
Zhu Tianlei couldn't help but feel chills coming out of his back. So, if it weren't for the relationship with Piaomiao Peak, his trip to Sichuan Capital would probably have come back empty-handed!
"We immediately started investigating after receiving the news about Uncle Sang. We only knew that this person was from Yunhai Province. When we tried to trace it again, we were cut off."
Zhu Tianlei leaned on the back of his chair and quickly filtered the news Lao Lan said in his mind.
"Could this person be..."
Zhu Tianlei pointed at the top of his head. Lao Lan understood what he meant.
"Probably not."
It’s okay if it’s not.
To be honest, Zhu Tianlei is very reluctant to deal with politics.
"Did the other party's letter of challenge say a specific time for the decisive battle?"
"The first day of March."
It's almost here, it's already early November, so there are only four months left.
"Lao Lan, tell me the truth. Is my current ability not enough for a fight?"
This is a very serious question, and Zhu Tianlei has a very clear understanding of his abilities.
"Not only are you not strong enough, even our entire Piaomiao Peak manpower may not be able to fight effectively."
So awesome?
Zhu Tianlei knew that this opponent must be very powerful, but he really didn't know that he could be so powerful.
"Young Master, please rest assured. The purpose of the Lan family's existence for hundreds of years is to protect the Ling family. Even if the battle is down to the last person and there is only the last drop of blood left, the Lan family will never bow to the other side and will protect the young master and his family to the death.
Ancestor Xiaoma."
Lao Lan's look was very determined, not just to flatter others, but sincerely.
Zhu Tianlei was still very moved, but he never agreed with this kind of suicidal loyalty of generously dying even though he knew he was going to die. This kind of sacrifice might be an honor to many people, but Zhu Tianlei thought it was stupid.
Most of the time, Mantis Arms will not be used as a word of praise. (To be continued)
