The leader of the Qiu Nan Clan was a middle-aged man. His arms were thicker than his legs. This was a state that only appeared when he beat the drum for Xiao Zhu all year round. This meant that this person had fought for Xiao Zhu before, and was different from the other Qiu Nan Clan disciples.
This person was called Qiu Nan Zhen. He was the uncle of Qiu Nan Hongye, one of the top experts of the previous generation.
Qiu Nan Zhen's arrival silenced Hefang Mountain. Only Da Feng's low roar added to the bleakness.
"Disperse," Qiu Nan Zhen said.
Zhang Hongyun's face paled. He wanted to say something but couldn't. Guhong Island wasn't qualified to bargain with the Qiu Nan Clan.
Those who hid their identities dispersed one by one. Even those who wanted to snatch Duke's corpse retreated. They knew they couldn't snatch it from the Qiu Nan Clan.
Qiu Nan Zhen looked at Zhang Hongyun and the others.
Zhang Hongyun sighed. He nodded at Qiu Nan Zhen and retreated.
Qiu Nan Zhen's gaze fell on Duke's corpse. Just as he was about to take it away, a voice sounded, "Don't move."
Qiu Nan Zhen paused and looked up into the distance. At the foot of Hefang Mountain, there was a drunk person lying on a mountain peak.
Seeing that person, Qiu Nan Zhen's eyes flashed. He continued to grab the corpse.
Zhang Hongyun and the others hadn't gone far. They looked at the scene curiously. Someone actually told Qiu Nan Zhen not to move. They had been fighting for so long and didn't notice that there was a drunkard over there.
Qiu Nan Zhen's hand was about to grab the Grand Duke when he suddenly stopped. Behind him, the Grand Gale lowered its head and lay on the ground while howling. All the other Grand Gale also lay on the ground. Those Qiu Nan Clan members who were riding on the Grand Gale almost fell down.
Qiu Nan Zhen's hand was less than an inch away from Duke. Sweat dripped down his forehead.
Zhang Hongyun and the others couldn't understand. They didn't feel anything, but they knew that Qiu Nan Zhen must have suffered something. Was it that drunkard?
Who was that?
He dared to attack the Qiu Nan Clan members and immobilize Qiu Nan Zhen.
After a while, Qiu Nan Zhen straightened up. His body emitted the sound of bones colliding. He turned to the drunkard on the mountain peak and bowed slowly, "Greetings, senior."
The drunkard didn't respond. He closed his eyes and laid there leisurely.
The Qiu Nan Clan, Guhong Island, and the surrounding people watched curiously.
It was the same for the people who were originally inside and outside of He Fang Mountain. Some of them had provoked that drunkard and were taught a lesson. Therefore, they all called that drunkard a fiend.
However, no one knew who that fiend was or how long he had been in He Fang Mountain.
Hefang Mountain was a place where history could not be continued. The people here were either preparing to die or on the way to death. History could not be continued here.
No one knew how long the drunkard had been there.
But looking at Qiu Nanzhen's expression, he seemed to know that drunkard.
"Junior Qiu Nanzhen greets senior." Qiu Nanzhen said respectfully.
The drunkard still didn't pay any attention to him. He just lay there leisurely and drank.
Then, Qiu Nan Zhen spoke for the third time, "Junior Qiu Nan Zhen once followed Senior Qiu Nan Ming to pay a visit to Senior."
Many people exclaimed in surprise when they heard Qiu Nanzhen's words.
"Qiu Nan Ming?
That Qiu Nanming? "
"The ancestor of the Qiu Nan Clan, the legendary figure who participated in three expeditions with the Seven Night Pillars, the Qiu Nan Ming who has a lot of face?"
"Countless people in Yu Jiuxiao respect senior Qiu Nanming. His drumbeats have saved many people. I never thought senior Qiu Nanming would have seen that fiend."
"It sounds like senior Qiu Nanming has paid a visit to him."
Zhang Hongyun was also shocked. Qiu Nanming was a legend that he had heard of. Long before he was born, Qiu Nanming had already made a name for himself. He had gone on expeditions with the Seven Night Pillars. Qiu Nanming only died when Zhang Hongyun broke through to the Primordial realm. If Qiu Nanzhen had not mentioned him, many people would have forgotten about this name.
The drunkard slowly opened his eyes and looked at Qiu Nanzhen in a daze, "If you want this corpse, get the person who wielded the sword to come."
A light flashed through Qiu Nanzhen's eyes, "Senior, are you helping the person who wielded the sword protect the corpse?"
"I don't have the time for that."
The drunkard looked at the western region, "This person's strike is extremely terrifying. It can be said to be the limit of battle prowess below eternal life. I really want to meet him and see just how great the difference is between us."
Qiu Nanzhen was surprised, "Senior, you want to fight him?"
The drunkard said nothing more.
No matter what Qiu Nanzhen said, he ignored him. It was as if Qiu Nanzhen did not exist. Qiu Nanzhen could only bow helplessly. He waved his hand, and the people of the Qiu Nan Clan retreated.
Not many people in the Nine Clouds Universe understood this drunkard, but he did. That was why he had come to He Fang Mountain. If this person really wanted to fight Lu Yin, it would be interesting because this person was once said to be the limit of battle prowess below eternal life.
However, the drunkard did not seem confident in fighting Lu Yin. He wanted to see just how great the difference was. This was something he would only say when he sensed the difference.
That strike must have been terrifying beyond their comprehension.
The Qiu Nan Clan could not take the corpse away. Zhang Hongyun gave up directly, so it was even more impossible for him to take the corpse away.
Just as he was about to leave, Qiu Nanzhen's voice rang out, "Tell Mister Lu for me that if he wants to take Duke's corpse away, he can only go to He Fang Mountain personally. The senior drinking here is very strong."
Zhang Hongyun was surprised. He looked at Qiu Nanzhen who was gradually leaving. Mister Lu had invited the Qiu Nan Clan?
No wonder. He knew it. The Qiu Nan Clan had never asked about the matters of the universe. They were more inclined towards Yu Jiuxiao. Why had they suddenly intervened?
That Mister Lu had made preparations, and he knew that Loneswan Island would be in trouble.
Zhang Hongyun exhaled. He was not in the Southern Domain, but he could mobilize two major powers for his use. That Mister Lu's influence was terrifying. This was the Southern Domain. He had been to the Eastern Domain before, so what would the Western Domain be like now?
This Mister Lu was influencing the entire Nine Clouds Universe.
In the Western Domain, at the foot of Thoughtless Mountain, Lu Yin put down Huai Si. A powerful drunkard?
If he could make the Qiu Nan Clan retreat, then he must be extraordinary.
However, with this person guarding Duke's corpse, there was no need to worry about others taking it away. He would go when he had time.
He would definitely go to the Southern Domain.
Not being able to bring Duke's corpse was bad news, but there was also good news. Longyin contacted Lu Yin two days later. He had already contacted Li Guo, so Lu Yin could go.
Lu Yin immediately got up and left Thoughtless Mountain, bidding farewell to the Jue Family.
When Lu Yin left, Jue Rou was the most reluctant to leave. She stood behind Jue Ling with a pitiful expression. She blinked at Lu Yin, hoping that he would stay a little longer. The fruit had not been eaten yet, but it was no longer sour.
"If Mister Lu comes to Hidden Sky City again, you must stay with the Jue Family. The Jue Family will always welcome Mister Lu," Jue Ling said with a smile.
He then looked at Heartless and Juelou, who were standing not too far away. This time, Heartless had arrived. The two girls stood together, looking very attractive. One was cold and indifferent like a painting, while the other was delicate and beautiful with a hint of liveliness.
"If I come to Hidden Sky City again, I will definitely visit the Jue Family."
With that, Lu Yin left. Before he left, he turned back and looked at Jue Rou. "I hope you do as you say." With that, he disappeared.
Everyone from the Jue Family looked at Jue Rou. What did he mean?
Jue Rou was stunned. What had she said?
It was not that she did not know what to say, but that she had said too much and forgotten what she had said. Was there anything that Mister Lu cared about?
Was there?
"Third Girl, what did you say to Mister Lu?
Or did you promise him something? "Jue Ling was very serious.
Jue Rou was innocent. "I didn't."
"You didn't?
You were the only one who went to Thoughtless Mountain recently. "
"I used to go there too."
"You weren't as active as now. What did you say to Mister Lu?
This is a very serious matter. Sometimes, a single sentence can lead to disaster. "
Jue Rou was about to cry. "I don't remember."
Jue Ling frowned. "Did you say a lot to Mister Lu?
You don't remember? "
Jue Rou opened her mouth but did not know what to say. She had indeed said a lot, so much that she could not remember. But how could she explain it to her mother?
What did Lu Yin say out of the blue?
What did she say to make that guy care so much?
Faced with Jue Ling's questioning, Jue Rou could only hide behind Jue Qing.
Jue Qing said, "Mother, let me ask. I will definitely get the answer."
Jue Ling took a deep breath. "You must remember every word she said. You must not make any mistakes. Our Jue family cannot have any weakness in that person's hands. Otherwise …" She did not continue, but everyone understood.
However, many people in the Jue family did not care. They were afraid of Lu Yin's power, but the Jue family had Jue Qing. She was one of the Seven Fairies. She was backed by Ye Hai. What could Mister Lu do?
Only Jue Ling knew that compared to Jue Qing, Lu Yin's position in Ye Hai was much higher. If Ye Hai really wanted to give up on one side, forget about Jue Qing, even the Seven Fairies could not compare to Lu Yin, including the previous disciples of Qing Lian Yu.
It was easy to find disciples. Other than Qing Lian Yu himself, there was only one other person who understood karma.
This person was the same as Miss Qing Yun. He could be considered the most powerful person in the Jiu Xiao universe, even if he came from the Tianyuan universe.
On the other side, Lu Yin was in a good mood.
After being annoyed by Jue Rou for more than two months, he could finally take his revenge.
However, he also sincerely hoped that Jue Rou could change the Jue family.
In essence, the Jue family was no different from the Cheng family and the Yu family. Otherwise, Li Guo would not have been forced to leave the Western Regions and bear the burden of a blood feud. The Jue family only wanted the intent realm and did not care about what the person who comprehended the intent realm did. They did not care about good and evil. This was a common problem for many large families.
Jue Rou was different. She had good and evil in her heart. If she could maintain this and accept the Jue family in the future, she might change something.
Of course, the biggest possibility was that she would become like Jue Ling. When Jue Ling was young, he might have been like Jue Rou, good and evil. However, because of the Jue family, he had changed.
Thus, Lu Yin's words were both a small revenge and a warning to Jue Rou. He wanted her to remember her original intentions as much as possible. At the same time, he wanted to give her a way out if she took over the Jue family in the future. A way out that she would not be forced by Jue Ling.
Just like how Jue Qing had Ye Hai behind her, Jue Ling would not force her to do anything.
As long as Jue Rou was smart enough, she could receive the same treatment as Jue Qing, as long as she did not die.
The Jue family had their tricks, but so did he. It all depended on whose methods were more effective.
