In the Himalayas, a figure whose face was always covered by the power of law was patrolling around, as if he was looking for something.
When the weather changed, the figure immediately noticed it. He turned his head and looked in the southeast direction. After sensing for a while, he murmured softly, "Strange, the strength of this person is obviously not high, but why is this Heavenly Tribulation so terrifying? Is it the birth of a monstrous genius? Interesting, I want to see what kind of genius this world can produce."
He took a step forward and disappeared without a trace. There was no one left in his place.
…
At the top of the snow mountain, a tall figure was walking back and forth, as if he was deducing something. After sensing the Heavenly Tribulation, he frowned slightly, "This Heavenly Tribulation seems a bit strange. Forget it, after deducing for so long, I still haven't found a path that can lead to the abyss. Just wait for me to relax and go watch the fun."
…
In the living room of the Hai family in Shu Du city, a tall and thin man wearing an ancient crown and ancient costume was sitting high up in the main seat. He was looking at the best quality Earth Level Pill in his hand with a covetous look in his eyes, "Not bad, not bad, this pill is round and flawless, it is indeed the best quality …"
Master Hai, who was standing below, cupped his hands and stood solemnly, was overjoyed when he heard this, "Lord Messenger, you have good eyesight, this is indeed the best quality pill."
"However, the level is too low, it can't offset the natural treasures that the Hai family needs to offer."
The messenger suddenly made a big turn, causing Master Hai's whole body to tremble, and the smile on his face also froze on his face. He hurriedly said, "But this best quality pill has already been exchanged with almost all of the Hai family's storehouse, where can we get it now …"
"Noisy."
The messenger snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, and hit Master Hai's body with a powerful force, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Like a kite with a broken string, he flew out and hit the wall heavily before falling to the ground. He couldn't get up for a long time.
"I don't care what method you use, but you must gather the medicinal ingredients that the young master needs within three days. Otherwise, there's no need for your Fair family to exist."
The emissary waved his sleeves and kept the elixir in his bosom. He stood up and did not even look at Master Hai, who was vomiting blood. With his hands behind his back, he said sanctimoniously, "This elixir's level is too low. It is useless to the young master. However, I have a descendant who can use it. Consider it a gift from the Hai family to me."
With that, the emissary walked out with large strides. When he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the pale-faced Master Hai. His face revealed a sinister smile as he warned, "That's right, there's also your granddaughter, Hai Mingzhu. Young Master has taken a fancy to her. Back then, her lowly mother actually dared to seek death. Young Master was merciful and didn't settle the score with your Hai family. If there are any more mistakes this time, your Hai family will be exterminated."
The corner of Master Hai's mouth kept dripping blood. His face was ashen as he looked at the already empty guest room. His eyes revealed despair as he murmured dreamily, "This is the heavens wanting to exterminate my Hai family. Pfft …"
Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth and vomited blood. His eyes rolled back and he fainted.
"Grandpa, grandpa, what happened to you?"
This scene was seen by Hai Mingzhu, who just came in. She threw herself at Master Hai and cried.
After a moment, Master Hai slowly opened his eyes. Looking at his granddaughter's pretty face that was covered in tears, he raised his hand with difficulty and gently wiped away the tears on her face. He revealed a kind smile, "Mingzhu 'er, don't cry. Ah, good girl, don't cry."
"Grandpa, who was it? Who hurt you? "
Hai Mingzhu rubbed her face against his withered old hand and asked while suppressing her sadness.
Master Hai's expression changed slightly. He shook his head and said, "No, no one hurt grandpa. Grandpa suddenly went berserk when practicing martial arts."
"Really?"
Hai Mingzhu asked suspiciously.
"Really, of course it's true. By the way, Mingzhu 'er …"
Master Hai struggled to stand up with Hai Mingzhu's support. After his eyes flickered slightly, he took out a sealed letter from his bosom and said, "Go with your father to Tianze Island immediately. I have a letter for Sect Leader Ding here. You must hand it to him personally."
"Ah? What letter? "
Hai Mingzhu asked in shock. However, her pretty face had a slight blush.
"Oh, nothing. Didn't the family form a strategic alliance with Tianze Island? There are still some treasures of heaven and earth in our storehouse. You and your father can take these treasures of heaven and earth and see if you can exchange them for more elixirs. My purpose in this letter is to establish a friendship with Sect Master Ding and greet him. "
Master Hai averted his eyes and said in a gentle tone.
"Then you …"
Going to Tianze Island meant that she could see her beloved again. Naturally, Hai Mingzhu was more than happy to go. However, when she saw her grandpa's heavily injured appearance, a hint of worry flashed in her beautiful eyes.
"Don't worry about me. Grandpa just had a setback during cultivation. He'll be fine after resting for two or three days. This concerns the development of the family. Go look for your father now and trigger it immediately."
Master Hai waved his hand and pretended that nothing had happened. He forced a smile and said.
If it was in the past, with Hai Mingzhu's intelligence, she would naturally notice that something was wrong with her grandpa's unusual arrangements and become suspicious. However, at this moment, her heart was occupied by seeing her beloved and she did not think much about it.
Hearing this, she supported Master Hai and sent him back to his room. She nodded obediently and said, "Grandpa, I understand. I'll look for my father now and set off immediately."
Master Hai looked at Hai Mingzhu's cheerful footsteps and a hint of kindness flashed in his old eyes. He murmured softly, "Mingzhu 'er, I've done wrong to your father and your deceased mother. This time, take it as me making up for what I owe you and your father. Pfft …"
Before he finished speaking, he spat out another mouthful of blood. His face was pale without a trace of blood.
After thinking for a while, he rang a bell at the head of the bed. A moment later, an old man with white hair and beard but a ruddy complexion hurried in. Seeing Master Hai's weak appearance, he could not help but turn pale with fright. "Master, what's wrong with you?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry."
Master Hai waved his hand weakly and forced himself to sit up. He said emotionally, "Ah Liang, how many years have you been with me?"
"Ah Liang was saved by Master when I was 12 years old. Until now, I have been with Master for a whole 60 years."
Ah Liang's eyes showed gratitude as he replied respectfully.
"It's been 60 years. Time has passed so quickly. I still remember the first time I saw you. Your face was dirty and you looked like a little beggar. However, your eyes were especially bright and filled with stubbornness. That's why I was soft-hearted and saved you."
Master Hai said with nostalgia. The corners of his lips curled up slightly. He seemed to recall the scene when he first met Ah Liang when he was young.
Ah Liang was so old, but when he heard Master Hai reminiscing about the past, he could not help but scratch his head and show a simple and honest smile. "Yes, it has been 60 years in the blink of an eye. I still remember that time, I lived a life of begging without knowing the next meal. I was bullied all day. Some heartless bastards even wanted to catch me and beat my limbs to make money by begging for them. At that time, I happened to be caught by them. If Master did not pass by and save me, give me food, clothes, and take me with him all day long to teach me how to read, write, and practice martial arts, even if I did not die, I would have ended up in a miserable state."
"Cough, cough!"
Master Hai coughed violently and hurriedly covered his mouth with his hand. He calmly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile, "Sometimes people have to pay attention to fate. Instead of saying that I saved you, it is better to say that we are fated. Perhaps, perhaps we were brothers in our previous lives."
Ah Liang hurriedly waved his hand. "Master, don't say that. You are going to shorten Ah Liang's life. Ah Liang's life is cheap. How can I have the luck to be brothers with Master?"
"You are good at everything except for this. You are too rule-abiding."
Master Hai shook his head and smiled bitterly. He also understood Ah Liang's character. If he was not a rule-abiding and grateful person, with his suspicious character, how could he trust him so much?
Ah Liang did not take it seriously. He scratched the back of his head and giggled. He did not know what to say, but he felt that Master Hai was very abnormal today. There was a strange tone in his words.
"Since the founding of the Hai family, it has a history of a thousand years. There have been thirty-seven patriarchs, and I am the thirty-eighth generation. I thought that the Hai family would flourish in my hands and continue for generations. I did not expect that a disaster would befall us now. We are facing the danger of extinction …"
Master Hai's sudden words caused A 'Liang's expression to change. His mind went blank as he looked at Master Hai in a daze. He even suspected that Master Hai was bewitched. The Hai family was so prosperous, how could they be facing the crisis of extermination?
Master Hai did not intend to explain to him. He reached out and pressed a mechanism at the head of the bed. The head of the bed suddenly caved in, revealing a secret drawer. He took out a token with the word "Hai" engraved on it. His eyes were filled with melancholy and nostalgia. He caressed the antique token as if he was caressing the skin of a lover.
Patriarch's token?
Ah Liang's heart tightened. He knelt down on the ground. This was the rule of the Hai family. Except for the patriarch, any member of the Hai family must kneel down when they see the patriarch's token. Because it not only represented the identity of the patriarch, but also represented the ancestors of the Hai family.
Master Hai did not stop him from kneeling down. He said with a solemn face, "Ah Liang, listen up."
"Ah Liang is here."
Ah Liang bowed his head and respectfully knelt on the ground. At this moment, he no longer had any doubts. Master Hai had even brought out the patriarch's token. It seemed that the Hai family was really in trouble.
"After Ming Zhu and her father leave Shu Du city, you will hold the patriarch's token and issue an order on my behalf. All the members of the Hai family who are outside are not allowed to return to the family. All of you should find a way to change your name and go as far away as you can. You are not allowed to call yourself a member of the Hai family until … the Hai family survives this crisis. If … the Hai family is destroyed, make them live in seclusion forever. They are not allowed to take revenge, they are not allowed to return to the family to worship, and they are no longer bound by the rules of the family."
Master Hai's body was trembling, and his eyes were bloodshot.
"Master …"
A 'Liang cried out sorrowfully, and his heart sank to rock bottom. He knew that the Fair Clan had really encountered a great calamity this time. Otherwise, with the Lord's character, how could he possibly give such a ruthless order?
"Ahem … Let me finish."
Master Hai coughed up another mouthful of blood. After quietly wiping away the blood at the corner of his mouth, he continued, "The servants of the Hai family will be compensated with half a year's salary. Everyone will be dismissed today. Those who are still in the family, leave or stay as you please. Those who are willing to stay and live with the family will be activated tomorrow. No one is allowed to take even half a step out.
With that, Old Master Hai threw the clan leader's token into Ah Liang's arms. Then, he collapsed on the bed, spat out blood, and fainted.
His physical injuries were only one aspect of it. Disbanding the Fair family that had lasted for a thousand years was the true pain in his heart that he could not bear. The double blow to his body and mind made him unable to bear it.
