"Let me put it this way. If it weren't for the fact that everything has its own rules and we don't want to break the rules and go too far, Wu Shichong would have been a dead man by now."
Ding Qianlie said in a calm tone.
There was no exaggeration in his words, nor was he trying to show off. The current Paradise Island definitely had the right and strength to say something like that.
Was Wu Shichong so great? At most, he was only in the God Martial Arts Realm. Even if he was in the Saint Martial Arts Realm, so what?
In front of Paradise Island, which had experts in the God Transformation Realm, the Pericelestial Realm, and a large number of experts half into the God Level, he didn't have any qualification to be arrogant. He was just a chicken and a dog that could be killed at any time.
Wu Shimin's heart was pounding. Although he felt that Ding Qianlie was exaggerating, her confident eyes and calm tone made him have a vague intuition that she was not lying and was telling the truth.
He had to admit that at this moment, he was tempted. The Wu family had been controlled by the second branch for too long. They were arrogant, cold-blooded, and had no concept of kinship at all.
In their eyes, except for the second branch, which was the authentic Wu family, the other Wu family members were all raised by their stepmothers and had no kinship to speak of.
If one of the branches had a clansman with outstanding natural talent in the Martial Dao, then perhaps their days would be slightly better, and the status of the clan would be correspondingly improved. Otherwise, all of them were simply no different than pigs and dogs, and they were at the beck and call of the second branch. If they dared to reveal the slightest displeasure, then they would be mercilessly beaten up.
Especially the fifth branch's bloodline, which was disappointing and didn't even have a single cultivation seedling. Their situation in the Wu Clan was extremely lowly, and even the servants that served the second branch dared to order them around. If they were careless, they would be beaten and kicked. If they complained to the Clan Head, not only would they be ignored, but they would also be reprimanded.
They would even righteously say that the Wu clansmen encouraged each other to learn from each other. Fists and kicks had no eyes, and if they were injured, they could only blame themselves for being trash. As time passed, it would further encourage the Second Branch's arrogance, and they would intensify their bullying of the descendants who didn't have any authority.
Even though he was highly valued by Wu Shian, he did not dare to voice his anger. He could only try his best to protect the safety of his family. The other relatives of the Fifth Branch were still subjected to endless coldness and oppression.
The most infuriating one was Wu Ling, the ignorant and incompetent playboy. He was arrogant and domineering. He bullied the five branches in every possible way. Even though he was his uncle, Wu Ling was beaten and scolded as he pleased. He had no sense of seniority.
Even if Wu Shian had bumped into him, he would only reprimand Wu Ling without any substantial punishment. This made him feel very aggrieved, but he had no choice but to compromise. He had to go against his will and take the initiative to absolve Wu Ling of the blame. Otherwise, if Wu Ling bore a grudge against him, his days in the future would be even more difficult.
Although he didn't know where Ding Qianlie's confidence came from, Wu Shimin was willing to believe that what she said was true. Or in other words, this was the greatest hope from his subconscious. He wanted to overthrow Wu Shian's unjust hegemonic rule and restore the Wu Family to a stable and fair development track.
Even though he knew that there was no such thing as a pie falling from the sky. Ding Qianlie was not related to him, so how could there be no price for pushing him to the top?
But so what? Even if he was just a puppet family head, he, Wu Shimin, was still the family head of the Wu family and had absolute power. At least, the Fifth Branch would get rid of the bad luck of being bullied. From then on, they could hold their heads high and no longer be bullied by their cold-blooded relatives.
But …
After taking a deep breath, Wu Shimin raised his head and stared at Ding Qianlie. He said with a wry smile, "I don't deny that your proposal is very tempting. But you don't know what the real trump card of the Wu family is. So, take back your unrealistic fantasy.
Your plan may succeed, but no one can bear the consequences. I haven't lived long enough. Even if I have to live with grievance, at least, I still live, don't I? "
Ding Qianlie narrowed her eyes. Although she was surprised, she did not panic. Her tone was still full of confidence. She said with great interest, "Tell me about it. Maybe the Wu family's trump card can really scare me away."
"The Wu family has an Old Ancestor."
Wu Shimin said word by word, with a complicated emotion of pride and sadness in his eyes.
The Old Ancestor was the Wu family's Old Ancestor, and also Wu Shimin's Old Ancestor. So he was very proud.
But he was also Wu Shian's Old Ancestor. The second branch was in power. No matter how cruel and unjust Wu Shian was, it was an internal matter of the Wu family.
If he dared to collude with outsiders to seize the position of the family head, he would betray the family and the Wu family. The Old Ancestor would not show any mercy to him.
What was more, Wu Shichong was the most talented person in the Wu family in martial arts. He used to cultivate with the Old Ancestor. In terms of relationship, he was naturally more favored than Wu Shimin, who was not powerful. So he was sad.
"What's his strength?"
Ding Qianlie's interest was immediately aroused. She did not expect that the Wu Family had a bigger trump card after Wu Shichong, which was really beyond her expectation.
"I don't know, but Wu Shichong used to cultivate with the Old Ancestor, so he has today's achievements."
Wu Shimin said solemnly, "But it is said that he broke through the Divine Realm 20 years ago, and now his strength is unfathomable."
"Broke through the Divine Realm? How is it possible? Unless … he is not on the earth. "
Ding Qianlie was not a person without common sense of cultivation. She naturally knew that there were shackles in the world. After hearing Wu Shimin's words, her first thought was that it was absolutely impossible. But then she thought that there were Pericelestial experts in the three shrines, so she immediately frowned and said thoughtfully.
Wu Shimin opened his eyes wide in shock. He felt that he might have underestimated the woman in front of him before. She should know so many secrets that ordinary people did not know.
It should be noted that as Wu Shian's deputy, he accidentally saw a letter from the Old Ancestor to Wu Shian. Only then did he know that there was a living Old Ancestor in the Wu family, and that he had been living in a place called the arsenal.
As for where the arsenal was, he had no idea at all. After secretly investigating for many years, he finally knew that the arsenal seemed to be an independent small world.
Therefore, in a sense, Ding Qianlie was not wrong to say that the Old Ancestor was not on the earth.
"The Divine Realm? So what? "
Ding Qianlie was indeed shocked. But after calming down, she became calm again and said indifferently.
Not to mention that Paradise Island was guarded by Ancestor Crane, who was in the Divine Transformation Realm, and more than ten Cranes in the Pericelestial Realm, there was also a Divine Dragon Guard in the three shrines that Ding Ning had just subdued.
Although Ding Ning said that the Divine Dragon Guard broke through by force by sacrificing his future potential, and his combat strength was far inferior to that of a real Pericelestial expert.
But after Ding Ning's genetic modification, as long as the Divine Dragon Guards were given some time, their strength would not be any weaker than a pericelestial expert who had broken through normally.
Moreover, Ding Ning had the ability to fight beyond his level. If he really encountered the Wu Family's Old Ancestor, it was not that he did not stand a chance. She really did not take a mere Wu Family's Old Ancestor seriously.
Wu Shimin's eyes widened again, and he stared at Ding Qianlie in surprise and doubt. He didn't know whether this woman was bluffing or the ignorant were fearless. She was a God State Strongman. In the words of ordinary people, she was a real god.
No matter how powerful the mortal forces were, how could they contend against the gods? This was why the Wu Clan dared to do so.
This was the greatest source of confidence to run amok.
Looking at Wu Shimin's suspicious eyes, Ding Qianlie knew that she couldn't convince him if she didn't come up with something. She snapped her fingers, and a ghostly figure appeared silently. The figure cupped her hands respectfully and said, "First Miss!"
"Yang Jingcheng, how many years have you been in the Divine Realm?"
Ding Qianlie asked indifferently.
"I don't remember the specific time, but it should be almost 100 years."
The Divine Dragon Guard Yang Jingcheng replied respectfully.
Wu Shimin opened his eyes wide in shock and looked at the middle-aged man who suddenly appeared in front of him in disbelief. "Almost 100 years? It might not be a big deal for a high-level warrior, but for an ordinary person like him, it was his whole life. "
Although he didn't find that Yang Jingcheng had been secretly protecting Ding Qianlie, he still didn't think that this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man was really a god-like existence. He couldn't help but show suspicion on his face.
Ding Qianlie ignored his question and continued to ask, "The Wu Family has a Old Ancestor who broke through the Divine Realm 20 years ago. If you fight with him, how confident are you?"
A trace of undisguised pride flashed across Yang Jingcheng's face. "First Miss, I am 100% sure that I can win."
Although he didn't have a special constitution, since he was chosen by the three divine halls as a stopgap, his cultivation aptitude was naturally one in a million. Although he broke through to the pseudo-pericelestial level at the expense of his potential, his strength had been greatly improved after being genetically modified. Even if he encountered a pericelestial expert who broke through normally, as long as they were still restrained by the shackles of heaven and earth, he had absolute confidence that he could defeat him.
In fact, this answer surprised Ding Qianlie a little, but she knew that Yang Jingcheng would never lie. She immediately nodded with satisfaction. "I believe you, but Boss Wu seems to be skeptical about it. How do you think we can dispel his concerns and make him believe that you are a Divine Realm expert?"
"That's easy. I'll take Boss Wu to enjoy the night view of Shudu."
Yang Jingcheng smiled and waved his hand. The window of the room opened automatically. Then he grabbed Wu Shimin's neck and lifted him up. His feet flashed and he disappeared from the room.
The cold wind was whistling. Ten thousand meters high in the sky, the people of Wu Shimin's world were scared out of their wits. Looking at the dim night view under their feet, they were so scared that they almost peed their pants. They shouted at the top of their lungs, "I believe you, I believe you. Let's go back."
"You really believe me?"
Yang Jingcheng asked suspiciously.
Although flying consumed a lot of spiritual energy, for a Divine Realm expert like him, the consumption of short-distance flying was completely negligible.
"I believe you, I believe you, I really believe you. You are a god, otherwise, how could you fly in the sky?"
Wu Shimin was terrified, fearing that Yang Jingcheng would accidentally throw him down. It was ten thousand meters high in the sky. If he fell down, he would definitely become a pile of rotten meat.
"Oh, I still want to show some more skills. Since you believe me, then let's go back."
Yang Jingcheng said with some desire to continue.
Wu Shimin almost cried. "F * ck, this is scary enough. If you show me some more skills, I will be scared to death."
The next moment, he felt his vision blur, and he appeared in the presidential suite again. The feeling of his feet on the ground made his tense heart finally return to the ground. Although his legs were still a little weak, he finally felt a lot better.
Looking at Ding Qianlie, who looked calm, Wu Shimin showed sincere awe on his face. He solemnly bowed 90 degrees and said, "Boss Ding, from now on, I, Wu Shimin, will follow your lead."
