Zhan Hongtu glanced behind Huo Leqing and was taken aback. "Where's nephew Dongcheng? Why isn't he here?"
Huo Leqing staggered and almost lost his balance.
Zhan Hongtu was the current ancestor of Qian Mountain Sect, and Huo Dongcheng was his grandson.
However, Zhan Hongtu called him nephew so intimately. Then, according to seniority …
Huo Leqing didn't dare to think further. Even if he had the guts of a leopard, he never dreamed of becoming Zhan Hongtu's elder one day.
However, the expressions of the Qian Mountain sect disciples behind Zhan Hongtu changed once again. They looked at the huge mansion with a sliver of respect in their eyes.
Of course, they weren't in awe of this family, but the ancestor's attitude toward Huo Dongcheng.
Huo Leqing opened his mouth and looked back.
Behind him were only his two sons, Huo Hongsheng and Huo Hongyu. As for Huo Hongxiang, he was still recuperating at home and couldn't come out to meet guests for the time being.
Of course, among the third generation disciples, those above 15 years old were basically all present. However, the most important person, Huo Dongcheng, was missing.
Instantly, cold sweat appeared on his forehead. He hurriedly asked, "Where's Dongcheng? Where is he?"
Huo Hongyu hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Father, before Senior He left, he gave Dongcheng daily homework. Now, Dongcheng is still cultivating in the backyard. Should I call him over?"
Although Zhan Hongtu had decided to take Huo Hongyu as his disciple, he hadn't officially held the ceremony to deal with the Ocean Sky Gate. Huo Hongyu naturally still stayed in the Huo family and waited quietly.
Huo Leqing glared at him and said, "Nonsense. Hurry up and let Dongcheng come out to welcome the guests."
"Wait." Zhen Wanqing, who had been silent all this time, waved her hand. A faint, faintly discernible power suddenly spread out and blocked Huo Hongyu's path. No matter how Huo Hongyu struggled, he couldn't move forward.
Of course, she controlled her power perfectly and didn't hurt Huo Hongyu.
As a Connate expert, Huo Leqing naturally felt the power that frightened him. He hurriedly smiled apologetically and said, "You are …"
Zhan Hongtu frowned. "Le Qing, this is Venerable Zhen Wanqing of Spirit Vulture Valley."
Huo Leqing sucked in a breath of cold air. Those who could reach the Xiantian Realm were generally not timid. But at this moment, Huo Leqing was truly frightened.
For some reason, not only did the Venerable One of the Qian Mountain Sect come to visit, but even the Venerable One of the Spirit Vulture Valley came to visit as well.
This was a joyous occasion for the Huo Family.
Of course, if these two were here to seek revenge, then a happy occasion would turn into a disaster.
His heart was filled with apprehension as he respectfully said, "Junior Huo Leqing greets Venerable Zhen."
Zhen Wanqing waved her hand. She wouldn't even smile at an ordinary Connate expert. However, in front of Huo Dongcheng's family, she was all smiles and smiles, almost holding hands and chatting with them.
"Patriarch Huo, since nephew Dongcheng is cultivating, let's not disturb him." Zhen Wanqing said slowly, "Let's go in and have a seat. We'll see Dongcheng after he finishes cultivating."
Huo Leqing responded in a daze and respectfully invited them in. After everyone was properly arranged, he finally understood what had happened.
Looking at the two Venerables and the experts of Qian Mountain Sect in the hall, he felt like he was in a dream.
So many people, who were usually extremely difficult to meet, were actually sitting in the hall of his home. What made him feel even more incredulous was that they were actually waiting for Dongcheng to cultivate.
What kind of face was this? What kind of glory was this?
Other things aside, Huo Leqing was sure of one thing. From now on, all the aftereffects caused by driving the Dong Family out would completely disappear.
In the entire Qian Mountain Sect, no one would dare to obstruct them openly or secretly.
Moreover, the Huo Family's right to speak would greatly increase. As long as it wasn't something too excessive, not many people in Qian Mountain City would dare to not give them face.
Carefully chatting with the people in the hall, Zhan Hongtu and Zhen Wanqing behaved like two kind elders who were asking about the well-being of the younger generation. They didn't hide the concern in their eyes.
Everyone, including the Huo Clan, was confused by their attitude. Many people were suspicious in their hearts. Could it be that someone in the Huo Clan was the illegitimate child of these two?
After a full hour, the people of the Huo Family were already sitting on pins and needles. They wanted to call Huo Chengdong, who didn't know anything, several times, but every time they showed a little intention, they were immediately scolded by the two Venerables.
Although they obeyed the order obediently, it was easy to imagine the anxiety in their hearts when so many experts were waiting here.
Zhan Hongtu stroked his long beard and suddenly said, "Hongyu, I said last time that he wants to take you in as his last disciple. What do you think?"
Huo Hongyu hurriedly stepped out and knelt down in front of him. He kowtowed a few times and said in surprise, "I'm willing."
Even the many experts of the Qian Mountain Sect looked over with envious gazes.
Among these people, not all of them were Zhan Hongtu's disciples. They all knew that as long as they could be taken in by Zhan Hongtu, their status in the Qian Mountain Sect would immediately be incomparable.
Zhan Hongtu laughed out loud and reached out to pull him up. He looked at him seriously and said, "Your dual elemental inner strength of fire and earth has been cultivated to the peak of the tenth level. From now on, I will teach you a cultivation chant. Half a year later, I will personally help you to advance to the Innate Stage."
Everyone in the Huo family was overjoyed. With Zhan Hongtu's status, he had made a promise in front of so many people, so it was a done deal. No matter what, he would not go back on his word.
When they thought of the second Innate Expert in the family, even if they already knew that they did not need to participate in the Thousand Islands Conference to compete for the 100 spots, they were still very excited at this moment.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the hall. Two people came in one after another.
The person at the front was over forty years old. His face was pale, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. The person behind him had a heroic look on his face. Although his cultivation was low and he was not placed in the eyes of the crowd, his eyes flickered with strong confidence.
Zhan Hongtu laughed and said, "Nephew Dongcheng, your water cultivation method has been cultivated to the peak of the fourth level. Later, it's possible to advance to the fifth level. This is really worthy of celebration."
Huo Dongcheng bowed deeply and said, "Thank you for your praise, senior."
The rest of the people had an extremely strange feeling in their hearts.
With Zhan Hongtu's status, he actually praised a junior whose inner strength was only at the fourth level. This situation was probably unique.
Zhen Wanqing's gaze also circled Huo Dongcheng's body a few times. She smiled and nodded. "Not bad. You're really talented. You've been buried in the past."
Zhang Heti and Huo Leqing immediately blushed. They used to think that Huo Dongcheng's talent was not good enough and that he would not have much development on the road of martial arts. However, now that they saw the attitude of these Venerables, they realized that they were very wrong. They could not help but feel grateful to He Yiming.
If Mr. He had not come to the house, they would not have discovered this genius.
Although Huo Dongcheng did not know who this noble lady was, he still bowed and greeted her.
Huo Hongxiang suddenly coughed a few times. Although he tried his best to suppress it, he could not completely suppress it.
Huo Dongcheng quickly turned around and said, "Father, your body has not recovered yet. It's better to go back."
Zhen Wanqing stood up and suddenly reached out to place her hand on Huo Hongxiang's pulse. After a moment, she smiled and said, "Your father probably suffered serious internal injuries some time ago. Fortunately, he was treated in time and took the holy healing medicine, so it's not a big problem. However, it'll still take some time for him to fully recover. I have a bottle of medicinal pills from the Spirit Vulture Valley here. It's very beneficial for the body's recovery. I'll give it to you. "
She casually tossed a bottle of medicinal pills over. After Huo Dongcheng caught it, he only hesitated for a moment before he immediately bowed and thanked her.
Since this bottle of medicinal pills was beneficial for his father's recovery, he had to accept the favor no matter what.
Zhen Wanqing's gaze turned and said, "Nephew Dongcheng, who exactly injured your father?"
Although her tone was light, it contained undisguised killing intent. It was as if as long as Huo Dongcheng said it, she would take revenge for him.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy. Even Zhan Hongtu was extremely embarrassed. The last bit of guilt in his heart for the deaths of the Dong family disappeared.
Huo Dongcheng smiled bitterly and said, "Senior, thank you for your concern. The person who killed my father has already received his retribution. He won't be able to stir up trouble anymore."
Zhen Wanqing was relieved. She nodded slightly and suddenly said, "This is the first time I've met you. I came in a hurry and did not bring any good gifts. In the future, if you have time, why don't you come to the Spirit Vulture Valley? I'll make the decision and give you a Spirit Vulture. "
Everyone was in an uproar. They looked at Huo Dongcheng with envy.
A Spirit Vulture was a real spiritual beast. As long as it lived for 500 years, it was equivalent to an Innate Master. More importantly, a Spirit Vulture was a flying spiritual beast. Once one had one, they could soar in the sky. How enviable was that?
Zhan Hongtu's eyes also had a trace of envy that could not be concealed. He was not the only one who was envious of the Spirit Vulture Valley's Spirit Vulture Valley's Spirit Vulture Valley. Even the former Ocean Sky Sect had asked for one many times.
However, the Spirit Vulture Valley did not give one to them. Today, after meeting him, Zhen Wanqing made such a promise.
It was obvious that in her heart, the value of the entire Qian Mountain Sect was far less than Huo Dongcheng.
However, once he thought of the strength of He Yiming, 108, Chu Haozhou, and the others, Zhan Hongtu's heart calmed down. This was a force that could destroy the entire Penglai Immortal Island. If they could protect the entire Spirit Vulture Valley by sacrificing a Spirit Vulture Valley, then anyone would make the right choice.
Sighing softly, Zhan Hongtu said, "Nephew Dongcheng, your master has already arrived on the island. He'll be here soon. You should be prepared to acknowledge him as your master."
It was only then that everyone understood why the Venerable Ones were suddenly so generous.
For a moment, everyone was guessing what kind of person could startle the two of them. (To be continued. If you want to know what will happen, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author. Support the original reading!)
