Yang Fan was now a Level Eight Spirit Reader Master. Although his overall cultivation strength was not at the peak of the Grand Master Realm, it was not to be outdone. His spiritual sense was extremely sharp.
What's more, because of Su Li's sudden approach just now, Yang Fan had quietly set up a Spirit Shield within ten meters of him as a warning to prevent Su Li or someone else in the dark from suddenly rushing over and attacking him.
Under such circumstances, even if a Half-step King like Sha Qingsi was close to him, he should be able to sense it.
However, the situation now was that someone had come within half a meter of him, but he did not know. If the person had not taken the initiative to speak, he might not have discovered such an existence.
"Who is it?"
Although there was no malice in the person's voice, Yang Fan was still frightened and quickly turned around.
Then, he saw a very amiable old man with a white beard looking at him with a complicated expression.
"So it's Elder Qu. Nice to meet you!"
Yang Fan breathed a sigh of relief and took a step back. He cupped his hands and bowed to Qu Hongde. At the same time, he was a little excited and asked softly, "Elder Qu, have you successfully broken through?"
Yang Fan had just saved Qu Hongde's life yesterday, so he had a good impression of this old man who had already put life and death aside. He could be considered half of his own people, so he did not have to worry that Qu Hongde would deliberately harm him for some material things.
Moreover, Qu Hongde had been taken away by Fu Zhengqing yesterday with the intention of breaking through into the King Realm. Now, based on his mysterious and otherworldly appearance that made it impossible for others to discern his strength, Qu Hongde might have really broken through successfully!
"I was lucky enough to make a breakthrough. It's all thanks to your amazing medical skills. So, I'm here to thank you." Qu Hongde smiled and looked at Yang Fan gratefully.
Because of the viper's poison, he had been trapped in the Half-step King Realm for more than eighty years. He was the only one who could understand the bitterness and helplessness.
Hence, Qu Hongde was extremely grateful to Yang Fan, who had cured his internal injuries and successfully isolated the viper's poison.
With that, Qu Hongde stood up and bowed deeply to Yang Fan. He said solemnly, "Thank you, Yang Fan!"
Yang Fan waved his hand and wanted to dodge, but he found that his feet didn't seem to grow on the pine wood under his feet. He couldn't move at all. He couldn't help shaking his head and smiling bitterly. He had to accept Qu Hongde's salute.
This Old Master was really very stubborn when he did things.
"You're too kind, Old Mister!" After Qu Hongde thanked him and bowed, Yang Fan's body regained its freedom. He said softly, "I have received payment for treating your injuries. You don't owe me anything."
Qu Hongde shook his head. "How can money make up for the debt of saving my life and rebuilding my life?"
Yang Fan was overjoyed. He had to admit that he liked this kind of honest person. To be thanked by a King Realm expert was truly a joyous occasion.
Wonderful, wonderful.
Not wanting to exchange pleasantries on the debt of gratitude, Yang Fan changed the topic and asked Qu Hongde softly, "How long has Old Qu been here?"
Qu Hongde turned his head and glanced at the people in the chaotic battle. He said softly, "When you and Qingsi came out of the Spiritual Energy Defense Formation, I was already here."
"Originally, I wanted to come over to save people and hunt Demonic Beasts after receiving the news. I also wanted to thank young friend properly. I didn't expect to encounter such a despicable matter. These people in the salary department are getting more and more outrageous!"
Qu Hongde sighed softly. When he looked at Ding Mian, Zhang Dehui, and Chen Liyan, his eyes flashed with a trace of coldness. It was obvious that this old man was extremely disappointed with the performance of these three.
Yang Fan couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief when he heard this.
After listening to Qu Hongde's comments and suggestions for Su Li, Yang Fan had thought that this old man was a kind person with the attributes of a Virgin Mary and would be lenient to everyone.
Now it would seem that he'd thought too much.
Qu Hongde had been watching from the side since the beginning of the conflict between them and the three. When he saw so many people from the Supervision Department ganging up on Chen Liyan, and when he saw Sha Qingsi beating up Ding Mian and Zhang Dehui while at the Half-step King Realm, he didn't make a move or stop them from the beginning. This was sufficient to explain many problems.
"Exactly!" After he figured out Qu Hongde's attitude, Yang Fan started to fan the flames. "They don't have the ability to hunt Demonic Beasts, yet they're extremely active when it comes to seizing credit and framing their own people."
"Elder Qu, you heard it as well, right? They didn't come purely for the sake of rescuing people at all. From the beginning until the end, they were only concerned about the spirit energy resources in the possession of that Demonic Beast!"
"They knew that I possessed a Demonic Beast at the seventh grade, so they intentionally disregarded my contribution in hunting two Demonic Beasts and disregarded Head Emissary Sha's testimony on my behalf. They actually intended to directly arrest me. They're simply lawless!"
"Inviting such selfish people who distort the truth to serve as Governors is simply like throwing three pieces of rat shit into a pot of good soup. It's caused the image of the entire Northwest Governor's Estate to be rotten. It's truly not worth the loss!"
When he heard Yang Fan's comparison of Ding Mian and the others, Qu Hongde couldn't help but shake his head and chuckle. "I know what you're thinking. Don't worry, even though I don't like to kill, I don't have the slightest habit of tolerating scum like this in the human race."
"As for the three of them, you can deal with them however you want. I will pretend that I didn't see anything and won't interfere."
"However," Qu Hongde suddenly turned his head to look at Yang Fan. "The means you used to deal with Su Li are a little too vulgar and can't be brought to the table. Moreover, Su Li is just a small character. Even though he made a mistake, he shouldn't be punished with death. There's really no need to force him into a situation where his reputation is ruined. "
"Why don't you give face to I and give him a chance to turn over a new leaf?"
Yang Fan was stunned. This was the second time Qu Hongde spoke up for Su Li. Could it be that this Su Li had some background that he didn't know?
"Since Elder Qu has spoken, I will naturally obey." Yang Fan nodded in agreement, then asked Qu Hongde, "May I know what's the relationship between this Captain Su Li and you?"
Qu Hongde's expression was a little shocked, but he did not hide it. He said softly, "To tell you the truth, this Su Li's great-grandfather had some friendship with I back then. He can be considered as I's great-grandson."
Yang Fan's heart shook violently.
F * ck!
Su Li was already 93 years old. He was almost 100 years old, but he was still only Qu Hongde's great-grandson. Then, how old was this Old Master Qu this year?
When he was hypnotizing Su Li just now, Yang Fan also did a Beginner Appraisal on him. He knew Su Li's exact age like the back of his hand.
That was why he was so shocked now. He could not help but cast a Beginner Appraisal Skill on Qu Hongde.
Name: Qu Hongde
Age:???
Height:???
Vitality:???
…
Yang Fan was dumbfounded. Why were there a bunch of question marks? Other than Qu Hongde's name, there was not a single piece of useful information that could be appraised.
Was it because the difference in their cultivation levels was too great?
"Don't find it strange." Qu Hongde was already used to seeing the shocked expression on Yang Fan's face. He said, "Although I often says that he's only 230 years old, and even if he can't break through, he still has at least 70 years to live. In fact, that's just an excuse to deter some people with bad intentions.
"Now that I has successfully advanced to the King Stage, there's no need to hide anymore. In fact, I is already 200 years old this year. It's very normal for him to have a great-grandson as old as Su Li."
Yang Fan's mouth opened wide unconsciously.
280 years old!
Other than praising him and shouting 666, Yang Fan did not want to do anything else.
Although it was said that the lifespan of a Martial Ancestor was around 300 years old, and a Martial King was even more impressive and around 600 years old, it had only been 138 years since the first spirit energy tide outbreak.
The history of humans being able to break through to the Martial Ancestor Realm with the help of spirit energy would definitely not exceed this number.
If he counted carefully, wouldn't this old man already be 142 years old when the first spirit energy tide erupted?!
142 years old! Even a Xiantian Realm expert at that time would find it very difficult to live for such a long time, right?
For a time, Yang Fan's admiration and reverence towards this old man was like a torrential river that stretched out endlessly.
No wonder Qu Hongde was already at the Half-step King Realm 80 years ago. He was able to rely on his profound cultivation to live until the age of 142 even before his spirit energy had recovered. How could an ordinary person compare to his natural talent and natural endowment in the Martial Dao?
He was completely like a flood dragon that was trapped in shallow water by the python's poison. Now that the dragon had emerged from the shallow water and was riding the wind, his future accomplishments would definitely be limitless!
Geniuses were not differentiated by age.
Especially after attaining the Martial Ancestor Realm or even the Martial King Realm, the lifespan of humans increased greatly, and the shackles of dying of old age were infinitely enlarged and delayed, leaving even more time for humans to cultivate and improve. The old men of 100 or 200 years old seemed to be the true leaders of this era!
Bang!
Bang!
At this time, the battle below was nearing its end. Sha Qingsi had been paying attention to Yang Fan's situation. When she saw Qu Hongde suddenly appear beside Yang Fan, she no longer had the mood to continue fighting with Ding Mian and Zhang Dehui.
She knew Qu Hongde's character and was afraid that he would suddenly plead for Ding Mian and Zhang Dehui. Sha Qingsi's eyes flashed fiercely, and she directly used the Law of Berserk that she had just comprehended. She raised her palms and quickly slapped towards Ding Mian and Zhang Dehui's lower dantians.
When her palms came into contact with their lower abdomens, the double attack was instantly triggered, and the dantians of Ding Mian and Zhang Dehui were instantly smashed into pieces. Their lower abdomens were penetrated by her palms, forming a palm-shaped hole, and blood wantonly gushed out.
"Ah!" "Ah!"
"Sha Qingsi, how dare you do such a vicious thing to us?! My colleagues in the Salary Department will definitely not let you go! "
The two of them had lost all their strength, and they lay on the ground with their hands on their lower abdomens. Until now, they still could not believe that Sha Qingsi actually dared to destroy their cultivation.
Seeing this, Qu Hongde raised his eyebrows and shook his head slightly without saying anything.
On the other hand, Yang Fan was stunned, because he realized that Sha Qingsi's Law of Berserk could be controlled. It was as if she could use the Law of Berserk to double the attack at any time as long as she wanted to. It was simply amazing!
This should be the difference between a King and an ordinary Master. Their understanding and application of various Dao rules had already reached a level that was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.
After destroying Ding Mian and Zhang Dehui's cultivation, Sha Qingsi kicked each of them, sending them under the pine tree where Yang Fan was. Then, she turned around and rushed towards Chen Liyan, who was being beaten up by the inspectors.
"No! You can't do this to me! I'm a Salary Department hired by the House of Guardians. I'm a VIP of the City Governor's Office. You can't destroy my cultivation! "
As Chen Liyan screamed in fear and unwillingness, Sha Qingsi did not hesitate to lift her leg and kick Chen Liyan to the bottom of the pinewood where Yang Fan was. She also shattered his Dantian into pieces. She did not show him any mercy.
At this point, the three arrogant Salary Department sent over were all crippled, and they crawled under Yang Fan's feet, trembling.
