Huo Dongcheng hesitated for a moment before sneaking a glance in Huo Leqing's direction.
He Yiming snorted softly, "If you don't want to say, I won't force you."
Huo Dongcheng's mouth trembled before he said, "Senior, two hours ago, the two island masters of the Leng family came together with a person. They were determined to return the three thousand-year-old pearl. My father rebutted them and that person immediately injured him. Now my father is seriously injured and bedridden … "
Speaking of this, Huo Dongcheng finally couldn't hold it in and started sobbing.
He Yiming's face gradually darkened. He never thought that such a thing would happen.
In the end, this was still a disaster caused by the Baozhu. And what made He Yiming even more shocked was, could it be that someone had already discovered the secret of the pearl?
If people really knew that the pearl wasn't a three thousand-year-old pearl, but a ten thousand-year-old pearl that could only be produced in the outer seas, then it would definitely cause countless people to covet it.
Taking a deep breath, He Yiming turned his head, "Brother Huo, why did the two Leng family members go back on their word?"
Huo Leqing smiled bitterly, "The Leng brothers said that before Mister He's pet pig took the pearl away, they had already reached an agreement with that person to exchange for a Xiantian Golden Core. But when that person went back to retrieve the Xiantian Golden Core, the pearl was snatched away by your pet pig. Now that that person has come to find us, they can't do anything. "
He Yiming's eyes lit up, "Who was the one who injured Huo Hongxiang?"
"It was the person who wanted to exchange for the pearl." Huo Leqing let out a long sigh and said, "Mister He, before that person left, he left a message. Tomorrow, come here to take the pearl. If we escape, he will punish the Huo family in the name of disturbing Qianshan City."
His words were extremely hoarse. Although he was furious, He Yiming could hear the worry in his voice.
Zhang Heti snorted coldly and said, "Brother Huo, who is that person? How dare he do that?"
Huo Leqing shook his head and said, "Brother Zhang, this is a matter of my Huo Clan. You don't have to interfere." After he finished speaking, he bowed deeply to He Yiming and said, "Mr. He, please take pity on the hundreds of people in my Huo family and return that pearl. The Huo Clan will never forget your kindness. "
He Yiming laughed involuntarily, and the expression in his eyes gradually turned cold.
That was a ten-thousand-year-old pearl. Since it had coincidentally fallen into He Yiming's hands, he would not return it no matter what.
However, since this trouble was caused by him, he would naturally settle it.
"Brother Huo, where did that person come from? You seem to be very wary of him."
Huo Leqing's expression became increasingly bitter. Finally, he said, "His surname is Dong, and he's the eldest young master of the Dong Residence in the east of the city."
"Dong Family's Eldest Young Master?" Zhang Heti's face immediately turned ugly, and his original indignation disappeared in an instant.
He Yiming asked calmly, "Brother Zhang, where did the Dong Residence come from? Is it related to your Qianshan Sect?"
Zhang Heti looked embarrassed and said, "Mr. He, the master of the Dong Residence, Dong Mingrui, is the great elder of my Qianshan Sect and the direct disciple of the great ancestor. Now that he has condensed 2 tangible flowers, he's one of the top 5 experts in our sect. "
"A double flower expert?" He Yiming showed a faint smile on his face and asked, "Brother Zhang, who is your sect's great ancestor?"
Zhang Heti immediately looked solemn. He held his head high and puffed out his chest as he answered proudly, "Our sect's great ancestor is one of the only 4 Venerable Ones left on the Penglai Immortal Island, Venerable Zhan Hongtu."
He Yiming turned his gaze and asked expressionlessly, "Who is the eldest young master of the Dong Residence?"
Huo Leqing didn't want to say it, but when he met He Yiming's eyes, he felt an inexplicable chill in his heart. He quickly said, "Mr. He, the person who came here tonight is Dong Mingrui's most beloved great-grandson, Dong Fangxiang."
Zhang Heti frowned and said with a wry smile, "Since it's Dong Fangxiang, it's really troublesome."
He Yiming asked calmly, "How's this person's martial arts cultivation? Is he stronger than Dong Mingrui?"
Zhang Heti smiled bitterly and said, "Mr. He, you must be joking. Dong Fangxiang is only 30 years old this year, but he has already cultivated to the peak of the ninth level of internal strength. He's the most promising descendant of the Dong Family to become a Xiantian Master, and he's highly valued by the Dong Family. If he really wants to cause trouble for Brother Huo, then Brother Huo will have no other choice but to leave the island. "
"What a pair of flowers, what a great young master of the Dong Residence," He Yiming chuckled and suddenly said, "Dongcheng, take me to see your father."
Huo Dongcheng didn't dare to disobey. He quickly led the way and brought He Yiming to the inner room.
Dozens of direct descendants of the Huo Family were gathered outside the room, and their faces were full of worry. He Yiming's gaze swept over them, and everyone lowered their gazes respectfully.
He Yiming sneered inwardly. He really didn't know whether these people were worried about Huo Hongxiang in the inner room or their future.
After all, on the Penglai Deity Island, offending a powerful family like the Dong Family would be a huge disaster.
After entering the inner room, He Yiming immediately saw Huo Hongxiang lying on the bed. Huo Hongxiang's eyes were closed, and his face was pale without a trace of blood. His breathing was rapid, and he coughed intermittently.
He stepped forward and checked his pulse. His heartbeat was extremely weak. Although his life was not in danger, it would not be easy for him to fully recover from his serious injuries.
He Yiming was furious, but his face became more and more calm.
He Yiming took out a jade bottle from his bosom and poured out a medicinal pill. He Yiming said, "Dong Cheng, give this to your father."
Huo Dongcheng responded and respectfully took the pill with both hands. He didn't ask what kind of pill it was, and just poured a cup of warm water. However, when he put the pill into his father's mouth, it immediately melted and automatically flowed down his father's throat.
Following that, a faint fragrance filled the room.
In just about 10 minutes, Huo Hongxiang's breathing on the bed calmed down, and his face became much redder as he fell asleep.
Everyone's expressions relaxed. In fact, after smelling this fragrance, everyone knew that this was definitely a miraculous elixir for treating internal injuries. However, no one would have thought that the medicinal effects would be so powerful.
Huo Leqing stepped forward in surprise and joy. He took his son's pulse and a trace of joy appeared on his face as he said, "Mr. He, thank you for your help. My son's injuries have already recovered. As long as he recuperates for a few months, he will be as good as new."
Zhang Heti also sighed. "Mr. He, you're indeed an alchemy master. Not only can you refine Innate Golden Pills, but you also have such a miraculous effect."
He Yiming smiled without saying a word, but he was secretly ashamed. The pill in his hand was given to him by Fan Shuo the Venerable from the Blessed Enclave, so it was not refined by him. Nevertheless, when he saw the admiration on the faces of Zhang Heti and the others, he was too embarrassed to explain.
He Yiming shook his head and suddenly asked, "Dongcheng, do you know where the Dong residence is?"
Huo Dongcheng nodded and answered, "The Dong residence is famous in the city, and I've seen it twice from afar."
He Yiming laughed heartily and said, "Great, bring me there."
Zhang Heti and Huo Leqing's expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly said, "Mr. He, you can't go."
"Why can't I?" He Yiming asked coldly.
Zhang Heti hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. He, Martial Uncle Dong is an important person in our sect, after all, and he's a Double Flower powerhouse. If you go alone, even if you can defeat him, our sect's great ancestor won't just stand by and watch."
Zhang Heti was extremely sincere. Dong Mingrui was from the Qianshan Sect, but the Huo family was his sworn friend. From Zhang Heti's standpoint, he did not want any conflict between them that could not be resolved.
He Yiming could not help but laugh. "Brother Zhang, I appreciate your kindness." He waved his hand and said, "Dongcheng, let's go."
Huo Dongcheng looked at Huo Leqing and Zhang Heti with hesitation.
He Yiming's face darkened. "Dongcheng, the one lying on the bed is your father …"
The rims of Huo Dongcheng's eyes reddened. He no longer looked at the faces of the two Xiantian masters. Instead, he turned around and left.
Huo Leqing was appalled, and he hurriedly shouted, "Dongcheng, you can't."
Nevertheless, as soon as he said the word "Dong", he felt like he could not breathe. It was as if the surrounding air was being squeezed toward him with endless power.
There was a look of horror in his eyes. He quickly summoned up his Genuine Qi, wanting to resist. But the next moment, he immediately realized that he was like a small boat in the sea, and he could not resist at all.
Just as he felt that he was on the verge of collapse, as if he would die at any moment, the pressure around him suddenly disappeared without a trace.
He shook his head to calm down the incomparable horror in his heart. He turned his head and happened to see Zhang Heti's equally horrified eyes.
They looked at each other and immediately understood that the other must have felt the same way just now.
Soon after, they realized that He Yiming and Huo Dongcheng were no longer in the room.
"Where are they?" Huo Leqing asked sternly.
Huo Hongsheng bowed inexplicably and said, "Father, Mr. He has left with Dongcheng."
"Why didn't you stop them?" Huo Leqing asked angrily.
At the thought that they were about to provoke the top 5 powerhouses in the Qianshan Sect, his heart kept beating like a drum. At this moment, he even thought of returning with his family immediately and leaving the Penglai Immortal Island to avoid disaster.
Huo Hongsheng looked at him in surprise and asked, "Father, didn't you and Uncle Zhang also not stop them?"
Huo Leqing smiled bitterly, but he also felt his heart palpitate because of He Yiming's mysterious means. At this point, he already knew that if He Yiming wanted to take his life, it would be as easy as flipping his hand. How could he have been given a chance to resist?
Zhang Heti sighed and said, "If it's a blessing, it's not a curse. If it's a curse, we can't avoid it. Brother Huo, let's go and take a look."
Huo Leqing nodded, and the 2 of them quickly ran toward the east of the city. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
