CHAPTER 582
Treacherous Couple
Chu Xingyun retracted his foot.
His body was very cold, like ice that would never melt. His gaze was fixed on the two people in front of him. He even forgot about the injuries on his body and focused his mind.
"It's still the same. There aren't many changes." A smile appeared on Liu Guqiong's face, as if he was very satisfied with the result.
Liu Guqiong's father, Liu Wentian, was the previous Patriarch of the Liu Family.
When Liu Wentian became the head of the Liu Family, his vision was far and wide, and his methods were even sharper. In just a few years, he had completely revitalized the Liu Family, making the Liu Family the leader of the Five Great Families.
Liu Mengyan was a playboy. He had many wives and concubines, and he had many children. The most outstanding of them all was Liu Mengyan.
Since the beginning of her cultivation, Liu Mengyan had displayed a tyrannical talent in martial arts. Her cultivation speed was extremely fast, and she had also condensed the seven-star Wu Ling, becoming the number one genius of the Ancient Star Sect.
Even though Liu Mengyan was a woman, her talent was simply too great, and she was also extremely beautiful. As such, Liu Wentian wanted her to become the Liu family's patriarch and marry into the main clan to solidify the Liu family's position.
But unexpectedly, not only did Liu Mengyan give up the position of the head of the family, she even fled the Ancient Star Sect, causing a huge scandal.
After this incident, Liu Mengyan was not allowed to return to the Liu family, and the position of the Liu family's patriarch was passed to Liu Guqiong.
Liu Guqiong and Liu Mengyan were both Liu Wentian's children, but they had the same father but different mothers and were not closely related by blood. In addition, Liu Mengyan had shown amazing talent, so it had been difficult for Liu Guqiong to make a name for himself.
Therefore, after Liu Mengyan's scandal, Liu Gu Qiong attached great importance to this opportunity. He walked step by step cautiously and conscientiously, and only then did he obtain the position of Patriarch of the Liu Family.
Even though eighteen years had passed, Liu Guqiong did not let his guard down. He often paid attention to Liu Mengyan's situation, fearing that one day, Liu Mengyan would take everything away from him.
Even though he knew that the possibility of this happening was extremely small.
"However, a month ago, the old patriarch went to Meteorite Abyss to visit Liu Mengyan, and the two of them talked for a long time. As for the content of their conversation, I don't know." Liu Guanying suddenly thought of this and immediately told Liu Guqiong.
Chu Xingyun was hiding in the shadows. He was not far from the two of them and could clearly hear the contents of their conversation.
At this moment, his brows furrowed tightly.
Meteorite Abyss was a famous danger zone.
It was said that a long time ago, the area where the Ancient Star Sect was located had experienced a natural disaster of meteorites. Countless meteorites fell from the sky, causing a great disaster. The number of casualties was so great that it was impossible to calculate.
Meteor Abyss was originally a precipitous abyss. Since the Falling Star Calamity, it had become a barren land. Not only was it difficult for even a blade of grass to grow there, it was even suffused with an aura of calamity. So long as one came into contact with this aura, their spirit sea would tremble, and it was extremely painful.
"I didn't think that they would actually imprison mother in Meteor Abyss!" Chu Xingyun's gaze gradually darkened.
Meteor Abyss was infamous, and very few people went near it. Liu Mengyan was imprisoned in Meteor Abyss. Not only did she have to endure endless pain, she also had to endure loneliness and loneliness.
Such a punishment caused one's heart to tremble with fear!
Hearing Liu Guanying's words, Liu Guqiong's fingers continuously tapped on the armrest of his chair. His face was dark. It was obvious that he was somewhat angry and displeased by the words just now.
"The scandal back then angered Wanjian Pavilion and the clan. In order to vent his anger, Fan Wujie sprinkled a mysterious poison on Liu Mengyan. This poison was said to have no antidote. Once poisoned, one would suffer endless pain every day and night. As for the clan, they imprisoned Liu Mengyan in the depths of Meteor Abyss, causing her to be constantly corroded by the aura of calamity."
"Under these two types of torture, no matter how strong Liu Mengyan's talent is, she will only become a cripple. The old patriarch's visit this time is meaningless, so patriarch need not worry." Liu Guanying was a meticulous person. He sensed Liu Guqiong's worry and immediately comforted him.
Hearing this, Liu Guqiong's expression remained the same. He frowned slightly and said, "Outsiders can't imagine how much father dotes on Liu Mengyan. Otherwise, Liu Mengyan's bastard child would have died a violent death long ago. How could he have survived?"
"Liu Mengyan made a big mistake, but father has visited her every year for the past nineteen years. This shows that Liu Mengyan still has value in father's eyes. He is still unwilling to give up."
Liu Mengyan was a seventh-grade Wu Ling. Her talent was amazing. If she could unleash all of her potential, her achievements would be limitless. It was very likely that she would step into the Nirvana Realm and become a supreme expert.
At that time, Liu Guqiong's position as the patriarch of the Liu Family would be difficult to maintain. He would once again become a subordinate.
"Liu Mengyan is already half dead. Unfortunately, we are still unable to give her a fatal blow." There was a trace of coldness in Liu Guanying's eyes. When he said this, it seemed that the two of them had plotted to assassinate Liu Mengyan but failed.
"If we want to completely consolidate our position, we can only pin our hopes on Shiyun." Liu Guqiong's eyes were bright. "Her talent is not inferior to Liu Mengyan. As long as she does well in the Six Sect Grand Competition, father will divert his attention. At that time, I won't have to be on tenterhooks."
Hearing this, Chu Xingyun couldn't help but sneer.
He realized that he had overestimated Liu Guqiong.
This person valued power very much. Even in the past nineteen years, he had been guarding against Liu Mengyan day and night. For this reason, he even saw his biological daughter, Liu Mengyan, as a tool to consolidate his power.
"It's really tragic to have such a biological father." Chu Xingyun sighed in his heart.
Suddenly, Liu Guqiong asked Liu Guanying, "By the way, has the ancient star sealing formation been completely repaired?"
Liu Guanying nodded and replied, "It was repaired yesterday. Elder Black Mountain and the others are on their way back. They will return to the clan at noon tomorrow."
"The ancient star sealing formation is the main formation that seals Meteorite Abyss. No accidents can happen. As for the formation core …" Liu Guqiong raised his eyebrows and said in a meaningful tone.
"Don't worry, patriarch. I've already instructed Elder Black Mountain to make slight changes when he sets up the formation core. He will allow more calamity aura to gather and corrode Liu Mengyan's body." Liu Guanying's expression turned sinister as he said, "The calamity aura will be a thousand times stronger than usual. Under the constant corrosion, Liu Mengyan's spirit sea and body will suffer great damage, and then shatter and collapse."
"Moreover, the old patriarch returned to the clan to enter seclusion after visiting Liu Mengyan. He doesn't know about this. I've also done a good job of keeping this a secret. In less than half a year, Liu Mengyan will be dead for sure!" Liu Guanying added. Only then did Liu Guqiong's eyebrows relax, and he even let out a hearty laugh.
Seeing Liu Guqiong laugh, Liu Guanying also laughed.
