The next day, the gates of Qianshan City opened as usual, and people from the countless small islands around Penglai Island rushed over like a tide.
However, on this day, in addition to the big trading rules, there were countless versions of rumors circulating in the city.
The Dong family, which had dominated the east side of the city for nearly a hundred years, was completely destroyed overnight because they provoked a powerful enemy.
Legend had it that the old ancestor of Qianshan Sect was also alarmed by this and hurried down the mountain in the middle of the night. This point could be proven from the whistling arrows that had resounded throughout the city last night, as well as the long whistling sound that had the power of a tidal wave.
After all, apart from the powerful old ancestor of Qianshan Sect, no one else could make such a soul-stirring howl.
However, even if the old ancestor came forward in person, he could not save the Dong family from the final misfortune. There were also rumors that the old ancestor of Qianshan Sect had a great battle with the mysterious person and was defeated in the end.
Now, the residence of the Dong family in the east side of the city had been completely sealed up, and the plaque outside the door had been changed. The big words "Dong Residence" had become "Huo Residence".
Countless rumors spread in every corner of Qianshan City, and the trend was getting bigger and bigger.
Not many people would believe that Zhan Hongtu, who was famous all over the Immortal Island, would be defeated by an unknown master. However, the change of the Dong family's master and the Qianshan Sect's attitude of not commenting on this matter finally made everyone suspicious.
In just a few days, the news began to spread throughout the island as if it had grown wings. Even the Ocean Sky Sect and the Spirit Vulture Valley also got the news later, knowing that there was another powerful venerable on Penglai Island.
※ ※ ※
The gate of Dong Residence finally reopened a few days later, but this time the people who came out were not the people of the Dong family who had been in the residence for a hundred years, but the people of the Huo family who came out of the border town.
The several mansions nearby were also the residences of the big shots of Qianshan Sect, but these big shots were very enthusiastic about the Huo family and never mentioned the Dong family. It was as if the Dong family, who used to be brothers with them, did not exist at all.
At this point, the people of the Huo family really believed that the Dong family had disappeared and no longer existed.
However, everyone in the Huo Manor knew that the only reason they had this status was because of Mr. He, who lived in the backyard.
If He Yiming hadn't defeated the Qian Mountain Sect's Old Ancestor, Zhan Hongtu, with a single move, then not to mention their Huo Clan's current glory, they would have been exterminated by the Dong Clan long ago.
Meanwhile, in the backyard, Huo Dongcheng was wholeheartedly cultivating his Water-type Internal Force.
He Yiming had given him the Energy Golden Elixir. Although it had only been a few days, it had allowed him to easily break through the third level of Water Elemental Internal Force and reach the fourth level.
Not only that, under He Yiming's teachings, when he used the water inner strength, he was already very proficient, and there was no longer the previous phenomenon of losing control.
He Yiming sat in a pavilion and watched quietly. He admired his serious attitude.
Having said that, since he had decided to recommend him to Chu Haozhou, He Yiming could only teach him some of the most basic cultivation techniques to help him build a solid foundation. As for how Chu Haozhou would train him in the future, that was a problem for him to consider.
108 quietly came to his side. His face was still expressionless.
He Yiming asked softly, "How is it?"
108 answered slowly, "The Dong family's people have indeed been crippled of their martial arts and sent overseas. It was done by another disciple of Zhan Hong Tu's. "
He Yiming nodded slowly and said, "With what happened to the Dong family and everyone knowing that Dongcheng has the talent to become a Venerable One, even if the Qian Mountain Sect falls, the Huo family will have the right to live on the island for at least 300 years. That said, Dongcheng won't be able to live on the island for long, so how far the Huo family can develop in the end will still depend on their own efforts. "
108 hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said, "There's something that you probably didn't expect."
He Yiming was slightly stunned. He asked, "What is it?"
"The Dong family's people all died after they were 150 kilometers away from the island."
He Yiming was shocked. He asked, "How did they die?"
"They were killed by the disciples of the Qian Mountain Sect who were escorting them," 108 answered calmly.
He Yiming was stunned for a long time, and his expression changed unpredictably. After a long time, he finally sighed and said, "It's good that they're dead. This matter won't be mentioned again from now on."
One hundred and eight looked at him silently and said with a sigh, "You've changed."
He Yiming smiled bitterly and said, "I have no choice but to change. Dong Mingrui wanted to exterminate the Huo family as soon as he appeared. If such a ruthless person were to stay, he'd surely be a big trouble for the Huo family. If the Huo family is exterminated because of me, how am I supposed to deal with Dongcheng? "
Hundred and Eight suddenly turned his head, and his eyes lit up with a strong light.
He Yiming frowned and said loudly, "Brother Zhan, you've come from afar. Please come in."
The door to the backyard was pushed open, and Zhan Hongtu walked out with a smile. On his old face, there was no longer the awkwardness and anger from that night. It was as if he had forgotten everything that had happened that day.
"Brother He, you have a good ear. I admire you." Zhan Hongtu walked to the pavilion in a few steps and looked at 108. His face changed as he asked, "This brother is …"
"This is my good friend, 108. Brother Bai, this is Brother Zhan Hongtu, a Venerable One from the Qian Mountain Sect," He Yiming casually introduced.
108 nodded at him, then he fell silent.
Zhan Hongtu smiled and said, "I've heard a lot about you." Even so, he found it strange. 'What kind of name is that? Why haven't I heard of it before?'
However, the longer he interacted with 108, the greater the shock in his heart.
Even when they were standing face to face, he still could not sense any vitality from 108's body.
The person seemed to be a clay statue. Even his gem-like eyes did not have any vitality.
Zhan Hongtu's heart turned cold. Such a person was the most terrifying powerhouse.
In the courtyard, Huo Dongcheng let out a long breath. He had finally finished cultivating this round of inner strength. When he looked up, he was shocked.
He Yiming waved his hand and said, "There's no need to work hard today. You may leave."
Huo Dongcheng hurriedly responded and quickly left. He still couldn't believe that he would see Venerable Zhan Hongtu here. Could it be that his eyes were playing tricks on him …
He Yiming said unhurriedly, "I wonder what Brother Zhan has come here for today."
Zhan Hongtu said seriously, "I came here today because I have a few things to discuss with Brother He."
He Yiming did not want to be too involved with the Qianshan Sect, but it was not appropriate for him to directly refuse at this time.
After all, the Huo family still had to live on the Penglai Immortal Island in the future. He and Huo Dongcheng could leave, but the Huo family could not.
"Brother Zhan, please speak."
"I want to take Huo Hongyu as my disciple. What do you think, Brother He?"
He Yiming pondered for a moment. Huo Hongyu was the third son of the Huo family's second generation. He had a cultivation base of the peak of the tenth level of fire and earth. Although this cultivation base was not worth mentioning in the eyes of people like Zhan Hongtu, since he wanted to take Huo Hongyu as his disciple, it was obvious that he wanted to pull the Huo family into the Qianshan Sect.
He Yiming shuddered at the thought of the Huo family's miserable end and his plan to take Huo Hongyu as his disciple.
Nevertheless, his rationality told him that as long as he was alive or Huo Dongcheng cultivated to become a Venerable One in the future, he would never harm the Huo family.
Perhaps this was the best home for the Huo family.
He Yiming sighed softly and said, "Is there anything else?"
A hint of joy flashed through Zhan Hongtu's eyes. Since He Yiming did not object, it was enough.
"The second thing, I want to ask Brother He to refine 30 Primordial Golden Pills. No matter how many pills you succeed, the Qianshan Sect will only take half of the pills. "
This time, He Yiming nodded without hesitation. He would be a real idiot if he refused such a good thing that could not be found even with a lantern.
"The last thing, I want to ask Brother He to come with me to Haitian City in 20 days to participate in the Thousand Islands Martial Arts Tournament that is held once every 20 years," Zhan Hongtu said solemnly.
He Yiming only thought for a moment and immediately understood that this tournament was the turf grabbing event that Huo Leqing and the others had mentioned.
"Brother Zhan, I have already promised Huo Leqing to help him participate in this tournament." He Yiming said calmly, "But as far as I know, only those small families will participate. Is your sect also going to participate?"
Zhan Hongtu laughed and said, "Brother He, since I took Huo Hongyu as a disciple, the Huo family will naturally become a member of the Qianshan Sect. There is no need for them to participate in any tournament. But this time, the two Venerables of Haitian City have sent invitations to I and Venerable Zhen Wanqing of the Spirit Vulture Valley. " He hesitated for a moment and said, "I is very worried, so I want to ask Brother He to come with me to give him courage."
He Yiming was surprised and said, "Why do you say that, Brother Zhan?"
Zhan Hongtu stopped smiling and sighed, "Brother He, you may not know, but the Haitian Sect is the biggest sect on this island and the only one with two Venerables. These two were originally a pair of master and disciple. They are ruthless and unscrupulous. I really don't dare to be careless. "
He Yiming looked over in surprise. He didn't expect Zhan Hongtu to have such an evaluation of the biggest sect on Penglai Immortal Island.
Seeing He Yiming's suspicious gaze, Zhan Hongtu smiled bitterly and said, "Brother He, Venerable Lin Yiwu of the Haitian Sect and his disciple, Venerable Chen Wohui, have long wanted to monopolize Penglai Immortal Island. If I and Venerable Zhen Wanqing of the Spirit Vulture Valley didn't work together in secret, I'm afraid our two families would have been swallowed up by them long ago, leaving only one big sect on Penglai Immortal Island."
He Yiming nodded slowly. He finally understood that on this small Penglai Immortal Island, there was also a life-and-death struggle.
But he also understood why Zhan Hongtu gave up on the Dong family so easily.
In order to rope in a powerful Venerable and allow the sect to continue better, sacrificing a disciple seemed to be the best choice. (To be continued, if you want to know the future, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
