"Grandfather, according to the latest news, Wu Shixun's video has aroused public indignation, and the higher-ups are paying great attention to it. The Provincial Governor's Office convened a Provincial Supervisory Committee meeting overnight. It seems like the Wu Clan is doomed this time."
In the pavilion at the center of the Muma Lake Manor, Hai Mingzhu spoke with excitement.
Hai Dongsheng's expression was as calm as an ancient well, and he wasn't moved at all. "It's still too early to make a conclusion."
"Wu Shixun's actions have aroused public indignation, and the pressure of public opinion is huge. I don't believe that there is anyone who dares to protect the Wu Clan at this moment."
Hai Mingzhu refuted with some dissatisfaction.
"Wu Shixun is definitely finished, but the Wu Clan won't fall so easily. At most, it will just be a serious injury."
Hai Dongsheng's old eyes flickered with wisdom. He didn't blame his granddaughter for not seeing through this. After all, the disparity in information could easily make her misjudge.
Hai Mingzhu revealed a pondering expression and guessed, "Grandfather, are you talking about Wu Shichong?"
Hai Dongsheng shook his head. "Wu Shichong might be the Chief Instructor of the Featherwood Guard, but his influence is limited. The Wu Clan's true backer isn't him."
Hai Mingzhu widened her eyes in horror and said in disbelief, "The Wu Clan has other backers?"
Hai Dongsheng nodded slightly and revealed a grave expression in his eyes. He said unhurriedly, "If I wasn't afraid of the Wu Clan's backer, I would have annihilated them long ago due to their repeated provocations to our Hai Clan."
Hai Mingzhu's eyes were wide open. If she didn't hear her grandfather's words with her own ears, she would have suspected if she heard it wrongly.
As the Eldest Young Lady who was most doted on by the Clan Head, she was clearer than the other clans' descendants about how terrifying the Hai Clan's hidden strength was.
However, the Hai Clan actually had an existence that could make her feel fearful. This completely subverted her outlook on life.
Hai Dongsheng looked at his granddaughter's dazed expression and couldn't help but shake his head with a bitter smile. He said meaningfully, "There are crouching tigers and hidden dragons in this world, and there are countless experts. The Hai Clan might seem to be standing at the peak of this world, but in reality, there's nothing amazing about it. Let's not talk about the distant clans, just those millennium-old clans that stand side by side with our Hai Clan, which one of them doesn't have a deep foundation? Let alone those hidden forces that rarely show themselves."
"Hidden forces?"
Hai Mingzhu repeated subconsciously. There was a lot of information in her grandfather's words, and she needed some time to digest it.
"Not bad, a hidden force."
Hai Dongsheng's expression became extremely serious, and his eyes revealed a strong sense of fear. "These hidden forces are the most terrifying. They occupy some Blessed Enclave or even microcosms with spiritual veins. They wholeheartedly pursue martial arts and immortality. Their strength is far beyond that of the secular world's warriors. Our Hai family is nothing compared to them."
"Ah!"
Hai Mingzhu's eyes widened in shock. She already felt that the Hai family's foundation was very impressive, but she didn't expect that this hidden power was even more terrifying.
"Actually, whether it is the Duanmu of the Southern Sea, the Murong of Gusu, the An family of Dongshan, the He family of Yuezhou, the Nangong family of Diannan, or our Hai family, they are all representatives of the hidden forces in the secular world."
Hai Dongsheng's words were shocking. He once again threw out a heavy bomb, causing Hai Mingzhu to be flabbergasted.
Hai Dongsheng knew that she would not be able to accept this reality for a while, but he had already made a decision in his heart.
For this decision, he had to tell Hai Mingzhu the truth so that she could cooperate with him in the next step of his plan. Otherwise, if something went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Hai Dongsheng took a deep breath, his expression was unprecedentedly serious: "Our Hai family, is a vassal family of a hidden power. To them, the meaning of our Hai family's existence is
To them, the Hai family's existence is to earn money for them and collect worldly treasures to provide them with cultivation resources. "
Hai Mingzhu's mouth suddenly opened wide, and her eyes were filled with disbelief.
She was the beloved daughter of the thousand-year-old Hai family. Although she had never been arrogant, she had always been proud of being a member of the Hai family. Her bones were filled with pride.
But now, her grandfather had personally told her that the Hai family, which she was proud of, was actually just a vassal family that served a certain hidden force. In her eyes, vassal families were equivalent to the existence of servants. How could she, who was proud and arrogant, accept this?
"And what they gave our Hai family were just some low-level cultivation techniques that they simply did not care about."
When Hai Dongsheng said this, his tone was already filled with resentment and unwillingness.
These years, the Hai family had produced many geniuses, and many of them had extraordinary talent. But without exception, they could only cultivate to the peak of the True Martial Realm at most, and it was difficult for them to advance any further.
If it wasn't for the fact that the Fair family had unintentionally obtained a high-level cultivation method a few decades ago, allowing the Fair family's disciples to break through the shackles of their cultivation, they wouldn't have realized that the hidden power had simply given them some trash cultivation methods to fool them. Otherwise, the Fair family would still be deeply grateful to the hidden power.
But what made him most angry was that the Hai family had worked tirelessly to serve the hidden force for hundreds and thousands of years, and more than 70% of their annual income was spent on collecting worldly treasures for the hidden force.
But as the Spirit Qi of Heaven and Earth became thinner and thinner, the worldly treasures became more and more difficult to collect. The hidden force simply did not care about these objective factors. Some time ago, the emissary in charge of collecting worldly treasures had already issued an ultimatum to the Hai family. If they were not satisfied by the next year, the Hai family could wait to be exterminated.
"What kind of existence is the hidden force?"
Hai Mingzhu lightly opened her cherry lips and asked.
She was exceptionally intelligent, and immediately understood from her grandfather's dissatisfied tone. It seemed that her grandfather could not bear the hidden force any longer, and wanted to get rid of their control.
"There are many hidden forces, some exist in the form of sects, some exist in the form of families, and some exist in the form of gangs. And the hidden force that our Hai family serves, exists in the form of families. They are surnamed Beiming, and are not considered very strong among the hidden forces. But for our Hai family, they are a colossus that we cannot contend against. It is said that the family has a True God Realm ancestor overseeing it."
Elder Hai Dongsheng's eyes flashed with a thick sense of fear as he said faintly.
"Beiming family."
Hai Mingzhu murmured, and suddenly stared at Hai Dongsheng: "Grandfather, is my mother's death related to the Beiming family?"
Hai Dongsheng's body trembled, and his face was already filled with anger. He said in a low voice: "Is there someone gossiping in front of you?"
Hai Mingzhu bit her lower lip, and stared at Hai Dongsheng without backing down. She shook her head and said: "No, it is father who drank too much and missed my mother. When he was hugging my mother's memorial tablet and crying, I heard it. Although it was unclear, I remember mentioning the word 'Beiming'. Now that grandfather mentioned the Beiming family, only then did I link my mother's death to the Beiming family."
The corner of Hai Dongsheng's eyes twitched, and he painfully closed his eyes. He sighed: "Forget it, since you have already guessed it, I will not hide it from you. Your mother's death is indeed related to the Beiming family, but this matter is enough for you to know. Remember, before you have absolute power to protect yourself, you must not spread this news, and you must not reveal any intention of revenge. Otherwise, not only you, but the entire Hai family will suffer a calamity."
"Grandfather, I know the seriousness of this matter. I promise you, before I have the power to protect myself, I will not rashly speak of revenge, and bring disaster to the family."
Hai Mingzhu took a deep breath, and calmed her agitated emotions, before solemnly promising.
Only her slightly reddened eyes and quietly clenched fists betrayed the unwillingness and hatred in her heart.
Hai Dongsheng was an old fox, and how could he not see that she did not mean what she said? But he believed that Hai Mingzhu knew when to stop. Although she really wanted to take revenge, she would not do something stupid and impulsive.
Furthermore, he had his own reasons for choosing to tell her the truth. So he decided to reveal some more shocking information, and completely ignite the fire of hatred in Hai Mingzhu's heart. Only in this way would he be able to make her feel a common enemy, and allow her to better cooperate with his next plan.
"Although your mother does not practice martial arts, she has a special constitution. According to the envoy of the Beiming family, she has the Heavenly Cauldron Body. So, after the envoy of the Beiming family discovered your mother's constitution, he planned to bring her back to the Beiming family to become the cultivation cauldron of the young master of the Beiming family. Your mother has a strong and unyielding personality, and vowed to die rather than submit. When the envoy was unprepared, she killed her own head and killed herself. This caused the envoy to be furious, and he only left angrily after killing five members of the Hai family. These years, he has been making things difficult for the Hai family in every possible way. He is very picky, and no longer has a good expression on his face."
Hai Dongsheng said while gritting his teeth. Although he had the intention to provoke Hai Mingzhu's hatred, the Beiming family did not treat the Hai family as people at all. They actually wanted to forcefully take his daughter-in-law as a cultivation cauldron. This overbearing behavior made him, the head of the family, extremely hateful.
When Hai Mingzhu heard this, her eyes almost popped out. She could not wait to personally tear the corpse of the envoy who forced her mother to death into a thousand pieces. But she knew that with the strength of the Hai family, it might not be difficult to kill the envoy after careful planning. The difficult part was how to deal with the anger of the Beiming family. If they were not careful, it would bring the disaster of annihilation to the Hai family.
After all, the Beiming family had a True God Realm ancestor. The Hai family did not have the strength to contend against them.
This knowledge made her very depressed, and even a little dispirited. With such a powerful Beiming family, would there still be a possibility for her to take revenge for her mother in this lifetime?
"Mingzhu, if you want to take revenge for your mother, or even let the Hai family get rid of the control of the Beiming family, all our hopes lie on you."
Hai Dongsheng's shocking words made Hai Mingzhu dumbfounded. She pointed at herself and said, "Me?"
"That's right, it's you. You are the pearl of the Hai family, and also carry the blood feud of the Hai family. Only you, married to an unparalleled expert, and relying on the strength of this expert, can let the Hai family get rid of the control of the Beiming family."
Hai Dongsheng had laid the groundwork, and said frankly.
"Unparalleled expert? Those people from the hidden forces? "
Hai Mingzhu asked naturally.
"No, although those hidden forces are not of one mind, but without exception, they do not see the people of the secular world as human beings. They will definitely not make a big fuss with the Beiming family for a woman of the secular world."
Hai Dongsheng's eyes flashed with the light of wisdom of understanding the world, as he said in a low tone.
Hai Mingzhu frowned slightly, and asked in confusion, "If it's not a hidden force, then where in the secular world would there be an unparalleled expert who can go against a powerful force like the Beiming family?"
"There has never been a lack of talented people in this world. Although I cannot be sure that he can go against the Beiming family, but if there is such a person in this world, then it must be him."
Hai Dongsheng said leisurely.
"Who?"
Hai Mingzhu's eyes brightened, and she asked excitedly.
"Ding Ning."
Hai Dongsheng said a name lightly, but it made Hai Mingzhu's little mouth open in shock.
