Chapter 898 Outspoken
...
Listening to Xu Jie'er plea for her father, Ou Chuyang was slightly stunned, and after a while he sighed, "It's hard to say who wants his life. How do you know that I will be able to obtain these two things safely without being killed by the head of the Xu family?"
"Intuition." Xu Jie'er said bluntly.
"I hope your intuition will come true. Don't worry, the head of the Xu family treats me well and I will not be ungrateful. If it is really possible, I don't want to hurt him."
With Ou Chuyang's words, Xu Jie'er felt relieved. At this time, a misty white light suddenly appeared not far ahead of the two of them.
"arrive."
The two looked at each other and ended the topic that only the two of them could be said.
As soon as they disappeared, the two of them escaped from the white light side by side.
The dazzling light made the two of them subconsciously close their eyes in an instant. When they opened them again, they saw a long corridor that had no end appeared in front of them.
From the flashing of white light to the opening of your eyes, the process here seems to have experienced the secludedness of the ages, and what you see in front of you is the ultimate life of Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er.
The wide corridor is about a hundred feet high and hundreds of meters wide, with no end in depth. The four walls of the corridor are paved with dazzling gold bricks, and the walls are engraved with strange patterns that have never been seen before. The patterns are continuous and winding, like countless strange runes. The ground is made of gold bricks, flat like a golden mirror.
Such a wide corridor seems to have important significance. In the air, Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er both felt a strong metallic spiritual energy flooding it. The originally invisible metallic spiritual energy was extremely rich, and a strand of ethereal, almost substantial golden mist had begun to rise in the air.
The golden mist was not completely transparent and filled the vast corridor, blocking the two people's sight that could have seen thousands of miles away, so that they could only see the distance of hundreds of meters ahead and no longer had to move forward.
What is particularly surprising is that on both sides of the corridor, two neat rows of rows of neat rows, directly connecting the corridor to the unknown end. This queue is not a different thing, but is composed of countless headless heroes appearing at the entrance of the passage on the first floor. It is like a sculpture, standing side by side with horses and one horse, even though the sculpture of the hero has no head, the two can still see a lifelike and vivid feeling from the detailed carving.
It seemed as if it was natural, and close to the sculpture with flesh and blood and energy, exuding a stunning fighting spirit and endless murderous aura. As soon as he looked at the invisible temperament rising in the air, Ou Chuyang and Xu Jie'er felt the earth-shaking shouts of killing echoed deep in their souls, and their souls were throbbing.
"Father." Taking a deep breath, Xu Jieer found that Xu Zhenheng and others were standing not far away, called out lightly, and ran over quickly.
Ou Chuyang followed closely behind and came to Xu Zhenheng's side.
Looking back at the two of them, an undetectable smile of relief appeared in Xu Zhenheng's deep eyes, and said, "Where have you been so slow?"
Seeing the meaning of Xu Zhenheng's eyes, Xu Jie'er's face turned slightly red, she gave Xu Zhenheng a shy look, and immediately said solemnly: "I told my brother a few words before I rushed over, Father, are you okay?"
Xu Jie'er's question attracted Xu Yaoguang's gaze. When he saw Xu Jie'er's gaze at Ou Chuyang with an ambiguous charm, he snorted coldly and turned his head again.
Xu Zhenheng is such a shrewd person. Seeing that his beloved daughter's eyes changed slightly when she looked at Qingyi, Lao Huai nodded comfortably and gave an encouraging look at Ou Chuyang, which seemed to be saying good things for his daughter.
Of course Ou Chuyang knew what Xu Zhenheng was thinking, so he deliberately avoided Xu Zhenheng's gaze, but he was smiling bitterly in his heart.
Xu Zhenheng had known for a long time that Xu Jie'er's heart was taken away by the one named Ou Chuyang. Based on Ou Chuyang's identity, Xu Zhenheng naturally would not agree, so he had the idea of choosing a son-in-law for his daughter. He originally thought that his daughter was still concerned about Ou Chuyang, and he was very worried, but when he saw Xu Jie'er's eyes at Ou Chuyang changed, he thought that his daughter's heart had slowly changed. At that moment, Lao Huai smiled comfortably.
This is exactly what Ou Chuyang smiled bitterly. How could Xu Zhenheng know that his daughter had already recognized the identity of the so-called "Qingyi", and even this "Qingyi" was Ou Chuyang he least liked.
After all, he was the head of the family. His brief smile lasted for a moment. Xu Zhenheng slowly recovered from this rigorous and solemn occasion. His face turned right. Xu Zhenheng said, "It's okay, there is no big change here compared to when I came last time. It's just that the metallic spirit inside is more intense. This is also a good thing. Xuanguang Pin and Tianshui Peak are on the ancient sites. Influenced by the earth's energy, the cultivation of the tribe will be easier in the future." As he said, Xu Zhenheng looked at the spacious and long corridor.
Just as Xu Zhenheng was talking alone, suddenly, the entire corridor trembled violently. The tremor made the bodies of all the headless generals and the bodies of the sculptured horses shine with dazzling light.
The golden light shone brightly, which made the already magnificent corridor even more dazzling. The dazzling golden light almost couldn't open its eyes even among the two powerful families, who are mid-level martial gods and high-level martial gods.
Not long after, the trembling stopped. When everyone was scanning the surroundings with their astonished eyes, suddenly, a figure like water patterns appeared not far away. Following this figure, it was the sound of aging echoing between the corridors for a long time.
"Oh~, the Ksitigarbha Corridor has never calmed down."
A hoarse voice echoed in the corridor, and there was an unconcealed sense of cliché in his tone. Although the strong men could not see the appearance of the figure emerging at the other end of the corridor, just based on this voice, we knew that the person who was speaking should be an old man.
The strong men were shocked when they heard the sound. Sure enough, an old man with a hunchback appeared opposite him. The old man was dressed in a coarse cloth and linen clothes, with patches of various sizes. It seemed that this dress had been worn on the old man for many years, and was so ragged that it looked like countless pieces of old pieces.
The old man held a broken broom in his hand, sweeping the clean and neat ground, while walking slowly towards the powerful people. The old man kept his head down and sighing constantly, as if something had made the old man feel very worried. Everyone used his skills to gather his internal energy into his eyes, and tried to look at the old man's appearance as long as possible, intending to see the old man's appearance. However, after a while, the strong man in the public tried to rest and finally gave up. They could not see the old man's appearance in the golden fog.
Just as everyone was frightened, the old man finally raised his head.
It was an extremely old face. The dense wrinkles had twisted the old man's face into a distortion. The dry skin was like a piece of cloth that had been kneaded for a long time, without any brilliance. The powerful men could only see a pair of eyes from this object that could no longer be called a human face.
A pair of unanimous, dead and bleak eyes.
When they saw this old man, Xu Zhenheng and Duan Yuankuo suddenly showed an unconcealed look of surprise. It was obvious that even the heads of the two major families who had experienced a contract battle had never seen the old man in front of them.
Subconsciously, a trace of fearful doubt enveloped the minds of all the strong people present.
"Who are you?" Duan Yuankuo's eyes suddenly became cold, and his expression immediately showed a sense of vigilance.
The old man looked at Duan Yuankuo who was asking questions, but did not answer the former question. He looked up and down. The old man said in an extremely beautiful voice: "I have seen you. A hundred years ago, you came to the Ksitigarbha Corridor."
"Ksitigarbha Corridor? A hundred years ago? Have you seen me?" Duan Yuankuo exclaimed three doubts in one breath. It was obvious that he was shocked by the old man's sudden words.
Before it was over, the old man finished speaking, he looked at Xu Zhenheng and said, "You are here too."
"Have you seen me too?" Xu Zhenheng showed a look of surprise as Duan Yuankuo, and asked coldly: "Who is your lord?"
The old man straightened his body. Despite how he wanted to work hard, the hunched figure was still bent.
As if he was stumped by Xu Zhenheng's words, the old man showed a confused expression on his face and said to himself: "Who am I? Oh~, it's been too long, I can't remember it, and I don't know who I am."
"Oh by the way." After thinking for a while, the old man suddenly showed a sudden realization and said, "You can call me to take care of the corpse."
"The corpse-man?"
After hearing this name, the strong men involuntarily took a step back half a step. This name is too amazing.
It is not difficult to understand that the old man is responsible for managing the corpse. It is this very easy-to-understand noun that makes all the strong people present jump up.
Xu Zhenheng and Duan Yuankuo looked at each other, and each saw a clear chill in each other's eyes.
Staring at the old man, Xu Zhenheng and Duan Yuankuo simultaneously used their true soul power and swept towards the old man.
The old man did not resist and allowed the two to conduct a detailed investigation of themselves. After a moment, Xu Zhenheng and Duan Yuankuo took a breath.
They didn't find any of the aura of a warrior from the old man, and even the living person was not angry. Although the old man stood there lightly and communicated with the two in a non-salty tone, the feeling he gave to the two heads was not entirely true.
During the contract battle a hundred years ago, Xu Zhenheng and Duan Yuankuo were both juniors in the family. With their outstanding talents and strong strength, they were fortunate to enter the ancient monument. However, in their memory, although they had never entered the third monument, no one had ever appeared in this second monument.
For a moment, doubts enveloped the minds of the two masters, and their cautious and vigilant eyes became more and more fierce. Looking directly at the old man, Xu Zhenheng knew that in this headless general corridor full of mid-level martial gods, mortals would never appear here. Even if the old man did not have any internal strength or breath, and was like an ordinary person, this could not make Xu Zhenheng take it lightly.
Holding back the fear of Ou Ming in his heart, Xu Zhenheng took a big step forward. When his aura was released, he clasped his fists and said in an extremely respectful tone: "Xu Zhenheng is the Lord of Xuanguang. I am sorry that Xu has never seen you before. I wonder if you can tell him with the true surname."
The humble words were spoken from the head of a generation of gods, giving enough face to the old man in front of him. The two powerful men from the two families who were behind Xu Zhenheng did not feel inappropriate. After all, this place was too mysterious and weird, and there was a dangerous atmosphere everywhere. In such a place, there was such a mysterious old man who would not want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"Really?" The old man laughed out loud. Although his voice seemed kind, the wrinkled old face became extremely ferocious because of the wriggling of the face muscles.
The old man lowered his head and swept the floor again. While sweeping, he said, "Didn't I tell you? I can't remember my name anymore, so just call me a corpse-man."
"Okay." Xu Zhenheng glanced at the old man and said, "Senior corpse-man~"
Xu Zhenheng originally wanted to ask, but he felt extremely uncomfortable when he said something. No matter how you say this name, it shouldn't look like a name.
"Forget it." Xu Zhenheng made a fuss in his heart and just shouted: "Senior Guanzi, I don't know why you are here."
The old man raised his head and replied calmly: "I am here, and I am much earlier than you."
"What?" The powerful men were shocked when they heard this.
"It's been here a long time ago, and it's much earlier than us? What does this mean?"
In a puzzled state, Xu Yaoguang could no longer stand the old man's tone of keeping his cover, and asked angrily: "Old man, stop keeping it behind closed doors. Tell me, who are you? Why are you in the Xu family? Oh, I understand, are you the mysterious person three months ago?"
Xu Yaoguang said something very rude. Xu Zhenheng originally wanted to scold him, but when he heard Xu Yaoguang mention the mysterious man who had stolen into the forbidden area three months ago, he stopped his voice and did not say it.
The ancient sites are the important places of the two families of Xu and Duan, and they cannot be invaded by other places. The old man said with confidence that he came earlier than them, which would undoubtedly arouse everyone's suspicion.
Thinking of this possibility, Xu Zhenheng and Duan Yuankuo's eyes suddenly became sharp, and a series of squinted lights burst out from their eyes, tightly locking the unpretentious old man.
The old man did not care about the disrespectfulness in Xu Yaoguang's tone. He looked at him indifferently. The old man said, "Remove blood and replace blood, the purple palace is more powerful, and he has forcibly promoted to the realm of a high-level martial god with a powerful treasure. Young man, you are not old, but you have such successive adventures. It's so lucky."
“Wow~”
As soon as the old man said this, everyone present was shocked, especially Xu Zhenping and Xu Yaoguang were even more shocked.
Xu Yaoguang was not originally from the Xu family. Later, after Xu Zhenping adopted it, he forced his bloodline to replace his essence and blood with the Xu family's bloodline. Moreover, Xu Yaoguang was not originally a golden spirit-attribute internal energy that he had practiced. It was only because of the change of bloodline that the internal energy attributes were transformed. A few months ago, in order to compete for martial arts, Xu Zhenping forced his strength to improve his strength with the Jade Fat Crystal Soul. Only then did he reach the realm of a high-level martial god. These things may not be a secret to the Xu family, but the old man in front of him did not know it, but the old man only took a look and had such a thorough insight, which was really incredible in the eyes of everyone.
