Chapter 497 The scapegoat
...
Speaking of this, Ou Cheng suddenly turned around and looked at Ou Chuyang: "How many years have you been? I have never been safe for a day since I sat in this position. Do you know? The Eight Great Family cannot rely on strength to have this reputation. That is because of the "Eight Great Fight Trigrams". Each family in the Eight Great Family has one, which contains a huge secret. Your father, despite the honor and disgrace of the family, actually stole it..."
Pointing to Ou Chuyang, Ou Cheng seemed to be touched by the past, and his whole body was trembling with anger.
Looking at the old man in front of him lightly, Ou Chuyang said nothing.
He could feel the feeling of being in the head of the family and worrying about everything, but this did not mean that he agreed with the other party. It is true that Ou Lingfeng was a little selfish and did not take into account the family, but it was understandable. After all, a strong man with only the level of a martial artist would have no security guarantee to be on the mainland. The Jiuyi of Jinglei, just listening to this name, you will know that this technique only belongs to the matching sword technique. Without the sword technique, nothing is. In order to protect himself and to protect his wife who is powerless, Ou Lingfeng has no choice.
While meditating, Ou Chuyang suddenly raised his head and looked at Ou Cheng's eyes: "He is not wrong, nor are you, but you are wrong. The marriage involving politics."
"Haha~" Ou Cheng laughed wildly when he heard this, and his tears fell down, whether they were crying with joy or angrily.
After a moment, Ou Cheng restrained his laughter and said loudly: "Yes, we are not wrong. We are wrong. The marriage caused by politics. Without the Nangong family, perhaps the Ou family will be stronger, and the previous generation of heads of the family would not force him. And Ou Lingfeng can also enjoy the warmth of the person he loves and sit steadily in the seat where I am sitting now. However, everything has happened and time will not turn back. Some things, if they become causes, must have results."
Ou Chuyang looked at Ou Cheng with a terrifying expression on his face, and said in a deep voice: "So, did you choose me?"
Ou Cheng nodded sadly and said, "Don't blame me. The family is now at the critical moment. No one is looking for that volume of broken battle tactics. The current Xiaodang Mountain is not the Little Dang Mountain of the past. We can develop on our own. We can't defeat that force. We can leave. There is no need to fight to the death with them. But in this way, the other five major families will definitely attack them. Therefore, I need a candidate to find the best volume of battle tactics. If I can't find it, it is considered an explanation for the other five major families."
"A scapegoat?" Ou Chuyang smiled slightly.
"That's right." Ou Cheng nodded solemnly.
The next moment, the hall returned to the dead silence again.
Ou Chuyang pondered for a long time, and in Ou Cheng's anxious eyes, he didn't move.
It seemed as if after a long time, Ou Chuyang finally raised his head, looked directly at Ou Cheng, and finally said, "Yes."
"What did you say?" Hearing these two words, Ou Cheng and Ou Haopeng stood there in a daze, looking at Ou Chuyang in disbelief, and exclaimed.
Turning around, Ou Chuyang turned his back to the two of them and said, "I mean, I can promise you to be this scapegoat."
"real?"
"But..." Ou Chuyang changed his tone.
"But what?" Ou Cheng asked anxiously.
After Ou Chuyang turned around, a purple light flashed across his dark eyes and said, "I have a condition."
“What conditions?”
"If I can successfully retrieve the Jiubian of Jinglei, if you want my father to return to the family tree, his bones must also be buried on Xiaodang Mountain." Ou Chuyang said solemnly.
"No problem." Ou Cheng immediately agreed when he heard this.
Ou Chuyang's request was simple for Ou Cheng. According to Ou Cheng's thoughts, it was almost difficult to find a battle tactic in Dark City than climbing the sky. Even the powerful forces like the Ou family dare not get involved in the killing. If the battle tactic cannot be retrieved, the most time the family faced would be the migration of the clan. But if someone could find the battle tactic and get the support of the other families, he might be able to get rid of the pursuit of that powerful force and still maintain the steady development of Xiaodangshan.
Therefore, Ou Cheng had already made preparations. No matter what request Ou Chuyang made, he would respond in one go. However, what he did not expect was that Ou Chuyang's needs would be so simple.
After thinking about it, Ou Cheng still couldn't believe it and asked again: "Do you have any other requests? If so, say it together."
Ou Chuyang smiled slightly: "It's gone. Others are not a requirement. I need a lot of medicinal materials now. If there is one in the family, can I use it at will?"
"There is no problem in this regard." Ou Cheng responded and then said, "If you have no other requests, then tomorrow, I will let you return to the family tree. However, there is one thing, the loss of the Battle Tribulation should not be known to the other five major families. In addition, you must know that if you can't find it, you will become the sinner who steals the Battle Tribulation. Give an explanation to the five major families."
Ou Chuyang nodded and said, "I know this. You don't need to do it at that time, I will stop myself."
Ou Cheng looked at Ou Chuyang, a look of admiration flashed in his eyes, and then said, "Since that's the case, let Haopeng take you to rest first. Tomorrow, a return ceremony will be held for you at noon. After the ceremony, you can set off."
Upon hearing this, Ou Chuyang stopped talking and walked out the door first.
Seeing this, Ou Haopeng didn't say much, and bowed to Ou Cheng and followed.
In the evening, in Ou Chuyang's hut, Huang Lang, Xu Jie'er and Qiling sat in one place. Listening to Ou Chuyang's story, a cloud of nameless anger suddenly arose in the three of them.
"It's too much. Do these bastards still treat you as their members of the Ou family?" Huang Lang slapped the table hard and cursed.
Xu Jie'er frowned, thought for a while, and said, "Ou Chuyang, why not worry about the battle tactics? Wouldn't we go on the mainland together? Don't you have to take the blame for these people?"
"That's right, boss, with your strength and talent, as long as you have enough time, one day, you will become the God of Martial Arts. In addition, Brother Huang and me, our talent for alchemy, will the mainland in the future not be left sideways?" At this time, Qiling also stood up and said indignantly.
Hearing this, Ou Chuyang waved his hand gently, signaled the three of them to sit down, and said decisively: "No need to persuade me, I have decided that I must take the blame."
"Why?" Seeing that Ou Chuyang was so stubborn, the three of them asked in unison.
"No, why? Just for one breath, my father was expelled from the family, but because of a marriage, he left before he could swallow it. Since I knew it, I couldn't think of it as if I didn't know anything. Besides, my father had only one last wish, that is, to return to the family tree. As his son, I must help him complete it. Also, maybe through this time, I can find out the cause of my father's death and avenge my father." Ou Chuyang said, with a firm gleam in his eyes.
Seeing that it was useless to persuade him and the three of them could only give up, but Xu Jie'er asked worriedly: "That's Dark City. There, even some major forces dare not enter, but we are only at the level of a martial arts master. I am afraid that I will not be able to complete the mission at that time and will leave my life there."
"Are you afraid?" Ou Chuyang leaned close to Xu Jie'er and whispered.
Perhaps it was a little close. When Xu Jieer found Ou Chuyang coming over, she immediately hid back like a conditioned reflex. A blush climbed up on her pretty face and said shyly: "I'm not afraid. I'm afraid of you..."
Ou Chuyang sat down again and frowned and said, "What are you afraid of me? Don't worry, maybe, things are not as bad as we imagined."
Upon hearing this, the three of them were stunned and looked at Ou Chuyang in confusion.
Ou Chuyang stood up, looked at the sunset that was about to set in the sky, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and murmured: "Dark City, maybe there is only fun enough there."
After the sunset smiled at the earth for the last smile, it disappeared on the ground. In an instant, darkness began to cover the earth. In the boundless night sky, only the bright moonlight and some faint starlight competed for a little light in this endless darkness.
It seemed that I wanted to compete with the moonlight. In the top of the small mountain, a faint purple light fainted out through the cracks in the window.
On the bed, Ou Chuyang sat cross-legged, and saw his eyes closed, his face calm, his hands pinched the seal script and placed it naturally on his knees. After a while, with the movement of his internal energy, the person was even shrouded in a layer of misty purple air.
Unlike the release of internal energy from a strong martial arts level, this is just Ou Chuyang's cultivation state that enters Kong Ming's cultivation state, causing the gathering of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, and it is slowly absorbed under the guidance of internal energy.
For Ou Chuyang, compared to the vitality pool in the holy land, there is currently a lot of lack of spiritual energy around him. But what Ou Chuyang wants is not to absorb spiritual energy and then improve his strength. What he wants to do now is to consolidate his strength.
After three years of underground practice, Ou Chuyang spent almost all his time on the maintenance formation. If the origin wood spirit had not been imprisoned by the former, I would probably be no different from that of three years ago.
The realm of a level seven martial artist is only his superficial strength. Ou Chuyang knew in his heart that he had two advanced martial arts, namely the Nine Flashes of the Shadow and the Breaking Tin. In terms of overall strength, Ou Chuyang also had the palm thunder that had not been used for a long time. At most, Ou Chuyang was guessing the strange purple aura in his body. This purple aura could actually surpass the level constraints and formed too early like the palm thunder that was released from the internal energy. Of course, Ou Chuyang didn't know this before, but since he broke through to become a martial artist, Ou Chuyang paid more attention to the palm thunder. It was obvious that the skill of palm thunder is to release internal energy.
Two advanced martial arts, plus thunder in the palm of your hand, are not enough. Ou Chuyang also has the soul technique and the great spirit-transparent technique taught by the king formation, and the original wood spirit imprisoned by the former in the dantian can be mobilized. Now Ou Chuyang's strength is not as simple as it appears.
Ou Chuyang roughly estimated that even if he calculated the nine hundred pounds of loads together, he was fully capable of fighting with a strong man of the Martial Master level. If such strength is seen, he would definitely be shocked.
Although the difference between the two realms of level 7 martial artist and the primary martial artist is not much different from each other in terms of meaning. But all martial artists know that these two realms are actually a huge watershed on the road of martial artists. Not to mention the level 7 martial artist, even if half of his foot has stepped into the level of the martial artist, he will be a thousand miles away in strength. After all, a strong man of level 7 martial artist can escape the constraints of gravity and soar in the sky. But even in this case, Ou Chuyang still broke the prevailing routine. If there is a first-level or second-level martial artist now, Ou Chuyang dares to assert that he will take off his full body and fight with him.
Everything laid the foundation for Ou Chuyang's arrogant capital, and it was precisely because of his great understanding of his current situation that Ou Chuyang dared to stand in front of the high-ranking senior family in an extremely strong manner after returning to Xiaodangshan.
After returning this time, although Ou Chuyang is only concerned about the safety of Ou Haopeng and Ou Qing, another thing is that Ou Chuyang must let the Ou family know that Ou Chuyang is not a good person to meet. Anyone who ignores him will pay the due price for his behavior.
This is true for the disciples of the gatekeepers, and the children of the family who besieged him. Even the two seniors Li and Lan, who are of great status in the family, were treated equally by Ou Chuyang. Even when he stood in front of Ou Cheng and the four elders, he did not lower his arrogant head and faced the former with a contemptuous look.
Apart from those few people, Ou Chu** had no favoritism about this Ou family, but he was even more angry because of Ou Lingfeng's experience. Therefore, when Ou Xian and Li Zhongtian rebuked him, if his behavior further advanced to Ou Chuyang's thunder pool, Ou Chuyang would not hesitate and slam it into the slightest.
"Can't beat it? I have the secret technique to burn blood, my son." Ou Chuyang thought so.
The hands were supported and slowly moved on the upper right side of the body, drawing a large circle.
"Huh~"
After spitting out a breath of turbid air and completing the circulation of the great circle, Ou Chuyang opened his eyes. Immediately, a purple light ejaculated from his dark eyes. The sharp momentum was released, but it was even brighter than the stars in the dark sky.
Looking down at the powerful fists, a surge of confidence naturally rose.
"Boom~"
A low thunder sound came from the distant mountains and sky. Ou Chuyang walked out of bed, opened the window, and saw no lightning, and a drizzle fell in the sky.
It was late at night and spring rain came. There was no barrier in front of me. Ou Chuyang could clearly feel the slightly coolness of his body. He took a deep breath. The vibrant earthy atmosphere in the air immediately wore his nose, touching Ou Chuyang's mind.
In his mind, a white figure slowly gathered and formed. As the figure gradually became clear, Ou Chuyang seemed to see the delicate and innocent smiling face he used to be.
"Yao'er." A soft call in his heart evoked Ou Chuyang's memories.
At this time, Ou Chuyang seemed to have returned to a few years ago when he first debuted, he met Mu Wanqing in the Sunset Forest, who had been tying his inner feelings.
