The woman's eyes lit up and said, "Great grandfather is a legend. Even the immortals in the capital have to be respectful when they see him. Unfortunately, we can't find him right now."
"I'm afraid great grandfather can't take care of us right now. His sect is also being invaded by the foreign races.
Right now, our only hope is the ancestral home … "The man let out a long sigh and looked at the child.
Three children had already been taken away by the foreign races. It was unknown if they were dead or alive. Yu Er was the fourth. Luckily, the man's power was monstrous and he was able to escape with the child.
The woman looked at the sleeping child and softly asked, "My lord, what is so special about the ancestral home?"
The man was silent for a while before he shook his head and said, "I don't know what's so magical about the ancestral mansion. My ancestor once said that if my Wang Clan encounters a mansion with a destroyed roof, we can enter the ancestral mansion and use our clan's blood to open an item to save our lives.
The woman was startled. She had been married to this man for many years and had never heard of this.
"Apparently … before our Wang family entered the capital, there was an immortal who was countless times more powerful than great grandfather. That immortal's power was heaven-defying and no one could stop him.
Inside the ancestral home is something he left behind … "The man's eyes lit up.
"More powerful than great grandfather …" The woman's eyes revealed a look of disbelief. "Is this ancestor still alive?"
The man muttered to himself for a while and said uncertainly, "My great-grandfather has lived for nearly two hundred years. That ancestor must have lived for even longer. He should still be alive …" The woman's eyes lit up and she said hurriedly, "If this ancestor can help us, then Yu 'er will be safe."
The man shook his head and bitterly smiled. "This is only a rumor and we don't know if it's true or not. No one knows if this person really exists.
However … "The man hesitated for a bit.
The woman quickly asked, "What is it?"
"However, according to the records of our Wang family, 200 years ago in the country of Zhao, whether it was the celestial world or the mortal world, there was a huge family. This family was named Teng!
Apparently, at that time, all the celestials had to listen to the Teng family. Even the emperor of the mortal world had to kowtow when he saw a member of the Teng family.
The Teng family is the Wang family's mortal enemy. "The man's voice echoed in the carriage.
"Then, in one night, the Teng family was exterminated by someone. All of the family members were killed … It is said that the person who exterminated the Teng family was that ancestor …"
The speed of the carriage was extremely fast. Three days later, they arrived at a manor.
The manor wasn't large, and two hundred years ago, it was still a village. Later on, it was bought by the Wang Family, and after a large amount of construction, it became what it was today.
After the carriage stopped, the bald man jumped down from the carriage with a tired expression. He opened the door and respectfully said, "Your Highness, we have arrived."
The man got out of the car and glanced at the manor. A look of reminiscence appeared on his face as he softly said, "When I was young, I lived here with my father for a year. In the blink of an eye, thirty years have passed, and nothing has changed here."
The woman followed him out of the carriage. Yu 'er also opened her eyes wide and looked curiously at the manor.
"Follow me!" The man said in a low voice and walked forward.
There were no odd-job workers in the manor, only a few elderly people who came out to greet them. These elderly people were all people who had worked hard for the Wang Family for generations.
Although their hair was all white, their eyes were bright. Just looking at them would cause anyone's heart to tremble.
The bald man was the same. When he looked at those elderly people, his heart was filled with fear. In his opinion, any one of them could defeat him in one move.
Suddenly, his gaze locked onto one of the elderly people. After looking at the elderly person's hand, his heart trembled. He knew who this old man was. This old man was the number one expert in the martial arts world 20 years ago.
The man in the official robe didn't say anything and walked into the manor. He brought his wife and child into the depths of the manor. There was an extremely ordinary house there.
Yu 'er curiously asked, "Dad, is this our family's ancestral home?"
The man nodded. Just as he was about to speak, the sound of thunder could be heard from the distance. Shortly after, two men with runes drawn all over their bodies appeared in the sky above the manor. One of them had a gloomy gaze as he looked at the people on the ground and calmly said, "They run pretty fast!"
The man's expression greatly changed and he immediately stood in front of his wife and child. He looked at the two and bitterly said: "Immortal elders, the matter between you and those immortals has nothing to do with us mortals. Why make things difficult for us?"
The surrounding elders' gazes were like lightning as they stared at the two people in the sky.
The gloomy person coldly looked at the man and without saying anything, his right hand reached out. His purpose for coming here was for the child with the spirit root.
Just at this moment, all of the surrounding elders let out a roar and stood in front of the man.
However, their bodies of flesh and blood were clearly unable to resist. After several popping sounds, they all vomited blood and were sent flying.
The man's expression greatly changed. Without another word, he grabbed his wife and child and quickly retreated back into the ancestral home.
After entering the ancestral home, the man's face was covered in cold sweat. His eyes were bloodshot as he pressed down on the rows of memorial tablets in front of him. A secret compartment immediately appeared. He immediately bit the tip of his tongue and used his blood to draw a symbol on the secret compartment.
This symbol was something that every generation's successor had to firmly engrave in their hearts the moment they became the Clan Head.
Just at this moment, a loud bang came from outside the ancestral home. Countless pieces of the walls turned to dust, and the gloomy man walked in.
The woman placed her child behind her and revealed a look of despair.
At this moment, the place where the man in the official robe had drawn the symbol suddenly released a strange light. In an instant, a piece of jade floated out from the secret compartment.
A strange power suddenly surrounded the area.
The gloomy person's expression immediately changed. He took a few steps back and revealed a look of disbelief. His companion in the sky also felt this strange power and was about to go in to take a look.
Just at this moment, the jade suddenly flashed.
The man with the gloomy eyes immediately let out a blood-curdling scream. Veins popped out on his body as he quickly retreated without saying a word. His eyes were filled with shock and fear. He had sensed a destructive aura from Arcane Master Ye's jade slip. This aura was so strong that even some of the clan members couldn't match it.
Once the jade was opened, with this person's cultivation level, he would without a doubt die.
As the jade flashed, the gloomy person coughed out a mouthful of blood and retreated outside of the ancestral home. His body trembled and he fell to the ground, dead.
His companion, who was about to enter the ancestral home to take a look, was startled. Without a word, he turned around and fled. He clearly felt an aura inside the ancestral home that he couldn't resist.
However, he didn't get far before the jade flashed and he coughed out a large mouthful of blood. He fell to the ground and died.
This strange scene caused the three people in the ancestral home to immediately be startled.
The man muttered to himself, "The rumors are true …"
The jade that Wang Lin left behind contained a sliver of the Ji Realm. With his cultivation level back then, any Nascent Soul cultivator who saw this sliver of the Ji Realm would die.
At this moment, at the foot of the Heng Yue Mountain in the country of Zhao, most of the cultivators of Zhao were gathered outside the Tian Dao Sect. Their faces were filled with anger as they looked into the distance.
There was only one person in the void they were looking at!
More than half of this person's body was covered in tattoos. Just by standing there, a powerful aura surrounded the area.
A hoarse voice came from that person's mouth. "Your cultivation country is quite interesting. All of you are gathered here. Could it be that there is some treasure here that you think can bring back the dead?"
A white-haired, black-robed old man flew out from the Tian Dao Sect. He stared at the Forsaken Immortal Clan member with hatred in his eyes and calmly said, "You can try!"
That person laughed and his eyes lit up. His aura surged like crazy and the tattoos on his body seemed to come alive. They all trembled and left his body to form tattoo dragons that danced around him.
"Interesting. This old man isn't here to deal with you low-level earth cultivators. I'm just passing by. However, since you've put it that way, I'd like to see exactly what kind of treasure you have that can make you so fearless."
His eyes revealed a hint of contempt. With his six-leaf shaman status, as long as he didn't meet any late stage Soul Formation cultivators, he was invincible on Suzaku.
Moreover, he didn't think that a late stage Soul Formation cultivator would exist in a mere rank 3 cultivation country.
With one step, he walked toward the Tian Dao Sect. The tattoo dragons around him let out bursts of howls as they charged toward the Tian Dao Sect.
The tattoo dragons were as fast as lightning as they closed in. All of the cultivators of Zhao held their breaths and revealed mysterious lights in their eyes.
200 years ago, there was a rumor in Zhao that a native of Zhao had reached the Soul Formation stage at the Tian Dao Sect and left behind a wood carving as a legacy item. Anyone who obtained it could become his direct disciple.
The place where it was stored was guarded by his divine sense. If it wasn't fated, it wouldn't open.
However, if Zhao was facing destruction, this item could be used to great effect.
The instant the dragon pierced through the air, the entire Heng Yue Mountain suddenly trembled. With a rumbling sound, a wooden statue rose from the top of the mountain.
The moment the wood carving appeared, the tattoo dragons trembled. The man from the Forsaken Immortal Clan revealed a mysterious light in his eyes.
The old man slowly said, "So there is a domain treasure left behind by a Soul Formation cultivator. However, this Soul Formation cultivator's cultivation level is too low; he is only at the early stage of Soul Formation. Even if he personally came, the Old Man would still be able to kill him, much less a treasure." The mysterious light in his eyes disappeared and was replaced with contempt once more.
