Chapter 1 The Blind Old Man and the Down-and-Out Young Master
"Blind old man, I'm bringing you food again, since I was a child, and you are willing to accompany me to talk about your heart, but I still don't know who you are until today?"
There is a cave in the mountain behind the Xiang family in the Fallen God City, which was originally a place where the children of the Xiang family thought about it after making a mistake, but when Xiang Yun was born, an old man was locked up here, and this level was more than ten years.

Xiang Yun's father died early, and before he died, he told him one thing, to serve this blind old man well, don't let him starve.
He is an obedient child, although he doesn't know why, but since he was six years old, he often came to bring some food and drink to the blind old man by taking the opportunity of going out to practice, and then listened to the blind old man tell some stories about the outside world.
It was from the mouth of the blind old man that he knew that this world was controlled by a superpower, and this country was the "Jade Mother Immortal Country", and what the people yearn for the most is to become an immortal cultivator, and eventually become an immortal.
It's just that for some reason, when the blind old man mentions the word "immortal", he always has some disdain and unwillingness.
"Why doesn't anyone squeak?"
In the past, as long as Xiang Yun shouted at the entrance of the cave, there would inevitably be a response from the blind old man inside, but today it was a little strange, it was silent.
Xiang Yun was startled, thinking that something had happened to the blind old man, so he hurriedly rushed in with a rice basket, but found that there was no trace of the blind old man in the cave, only the stone bed where the blind old man was lying had mottled bloodstains.
He has been with the blind old man for nearly ten years, as if he is his own grandson, and suddenly the blind old man is nowhere to be seen, and there are blood stains there, so he is naturally so nervous that he can't do it, so he threw down the basket and rushed out of the cave to find it.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a little girl running over in a hurry, with broken scars on her legs and arms.
"Young Master, Young Master Yun, it's not good, the family wants to execute the blind old man, and he has been burned at the stake!"
The little girl's name is Yanhong, two years younger than Xiang Yun, and she is the child that Xiang Yun's father picked up from outside, so she is still very loyal to Xiang Yun's father and son, and she is definitely trustworthy.
"How so? The blind old man has been imprisoned here for more than ten years, and he has not seen the owner of the family kill him, and he also acquiesced in my delivery of food, why did he suddenly make such a decision today? β
Xiang Yun's feet shook, and he felt as if the strength in his body had suddenly been emptied, a little unbelievable.
But a moment later, he ran down the hill like crazy.
Yan Hong also followed closely behind.
Not far away, you can see a piece of buildings, covering an area of hundreds of acres, a very spacious mansion, just the population inside, has exceeded 10,000.
This is the ancestral home of the Xiang family, the first family in Fallen God City!
The name of Fallen God City sounds domineering, but it is actually just a small city with a population of only fifty or sixty thousand, but the ancestral house of the Xiang family alone accounts for one-fifth of its population.
In this small city, the only one who can be equal to the Xiang family is the Han family, represented by the city lord of Fallen God City.
It stands to reason that Xiang Yun was born in the Xiang family, and it is definitely a worry-free life and a rich life, which is simply a blessing for eight lifetimes.
In practice, however, the situation is quite different.
Xiang Yun hadn't seen his mother since he was born, and when he was just six years old, his father also suffered from a strange illness and died mysteriously.
As the saying goes, this child without a mother and father is like a grass, plus the head of the Xiang family, the old man Xiang has many heirs, and the family is flourishing, so he is dispensable.
The family property that should have been inherited was almost divided among the so-called relatives, and they could barely make ends meet, and they didn't even have anyone to talk to on weekdays.
After all, Yan Hong is young and doesn't know anything, so Xiang Yun has such a good relationship with the blind old man.
In the past ten years, he didn't feel that it was too hard, but he just watched his peers cultivate with the support and protection of their parents, and their cultivation continued to grow one by one, but he has not cultivated so far because there is no one to guide him, and even the most basic Qi cultivation in cultivating immortals was taught to him by his father before his death.
The simplest and most ordinary method of swallowing, he stupidly insisted on cultivating for more than ten years.
This method of swallowing only improves his physique, and if he really wants to compete with his peers, he will definitely not survive a round and will lose miserably.
Xiang Yun ran very fast, and after going down the mountain, he ran directly in the direction of the execution table.
However, because he was in too much of a hurry, he accidentally bumped into someone when he turned the corner, and the man snorted, while Xiang Yun squatted on the ground with a buttocks.
When he looked up, his heart was terrible, and the person he bumped into was none other than his cousin Xiang Tian.
Xiang Tian has been looking for reasons to repair him on weekdays, and he has been hiding from the other party and not giving the other party a chance, but today he directly bumped into the other party because he was in a hurry to go to the execution table, which can be regarded as giving the other party a big reason.
There was another person standing next to Xiang Tian, a girl named Han Li.
This girl is beautiful, but her eyes always reveal a bit of evil spirit, she is the daughter of the city lord of the Fallen God City, and she is also Xiang Tian's fiancΓ©e, both of them are engaged, Han Li often comes to Xiang's house to play, but treats Xiang's family as her own.
"I'm in a hurry to die! Well? Isn't this Xiang Yun? β
Xiang Tian originally wanted to scold, but suddenly saw that it was Xiang Yun, and couldn't help but mock: "Ah, I understand, you are in a hurry to see your blind old man for the last time, tsk, how pitiful, as close as a grandson, now it is going to be separated by yin and yang." β
There was mockery in his eyes, disdain on the corners of his mouth, and he felt completely disdainful of Xiang Yun.
Because Xiang Tian was among his peers in the Fallen God City, he was definitely a real leader, but he was only seventeen years old, but he was already a five-fold immortal cultivator of the Qi Realm, and in such a small city, being able to have such qualifications was definitely the focus of the Xiang family's cultivation.
Naturally, the Han family also took a fancy to this, so they let him marry Han Li.
For Xiang Tian's disdain and ridicule, Xiang Yun just pouted, he was naturally unconvinced, these people have the support and guidance of their parents, and there are a lot of elixirs to temper their bodies.
You can also get a variety of cultivation exercises provided by the family.
And what about him?
He Xiang Yun has nothing but the method of swallowing and vomiting that he learned when he was a child, and he has not practiced, how can he know which is stronger and which is weaker?
He believed that as long as he was given the same conditions, he would definitely be ten times better than Xiang Tian, this was not conceited, because before the age of six, he was the only one among his peers who had reached the first level of Qi cultivation, and this was the capital of his pride!
In terms of talent, he is no worse than anyone else, what he lacks is only opportunities, but external conditions.
"What kind of eyes are you? Not convinced? Today, I'm going to teach you how to be a good person as a brother! β
Xiang Tian was very uncomfortable by Xiang Yun's eyes, and he hoped to see despair, timidity, and fear in Xiang Yun's eyes.
However, what I actually saw was unwillingness and disobedience.
This made him very unhappy, so he snorted coldly and kicked Xiang Yun in the chest, kicking Xiang Yun back several steps, and finally being held up by Yan Hong, who rushed over.
Xiang Yun felt that his throat was a little sweet, it was the feeling of blood coming up from his stomach, Xiang Tian's foot was not heavy.
"Phew! Litter! β
Taking a sip on the ground, Xiang Tian dusted off the dust on his body, and then left in great stride.
The corners of Xiang Yun's mouth twitched several times, he seemed to rush over and fight Xiang Tian to the death, but in the end he couldn't help it.
Because he knows that his strength is not as good as others, and if he pounces, he can only ask for his own hardships.
Han Li followed Xiang Tian away with a smile, and when she passed by Xiang Yun, she suddenly gently patted Xiang Yun on the shoulder.
"Ahh
At that moment, Xiang Yun felt a piercing pain, and only then did he realize that Han Li was actually holding a steel needle in his hand.
This vicious woman is really a perfect match for Xiang Tian.
"Li'er, don't kill him, no matter what, he's from my Xiang family, even if it's just a dog, if he dies, he'll be in trouble."
Xiang Tian turned around and said with a smile, without the slightest intention of blaming Han Li.
"Hehe, Brother Tian, it's okay, I just gave him a needle, and that arm can't move for a week, and he can't die."
Han Li ran forward with a grin, grabbed Xiang Tian's arm, and then left together.
There were many servants and maids in the courtyard who were doing something, and although they were all sympathetic to Xiang Yun's plight, no one dared to stand up and speak.
After all, he is just a subordinate, and he can't provoke Han Li, let alone Xiang Tian.
Xiang Yun didn't have any hatred for them, self-preservation is everyone's nature, he just stared at the backs of Xiang Tian and Han Li, and quenched a mouthful of bloody saliva to the ground, in addition to the original firmness and unwillingness, there was a little more hatred in a pair of bright eyes.
"The blind old man once asked me if I would like to become a strong person through other means, instead of cultivating immortals, that would become an enemy of the Jade Mother Immortal Kingdom, and would be spurned by immortal cultivators all over the world, and would be considered an evil demon. I refused at the time. β
Xiang Yun secretly thought in his heart: "Because I don't want to be spurned by the immortal cultivators in the world, I want to take the right path!" But today I can't even protect the blind old man, I can only watch him being burned at the stake, if I have the opportunity, I will never refuse again, blind old man, you don't want to die. β
"There is still a day! Femme Fatale Han Li! I have remembered the shame and pain that you have inflicted on me Xiang Yun today, and the future will be long, don't give me any chance, otherwise I won't let you have a good time. β
has been bullied since his father's death, and now Xiang Yun has a little more ruthlessness and retribution in his personality!
Who insulted him!
Who bullied him!
He can't retaliate for the time being, but he will definitely not forget it, and when he has the opportunity, he will settle the accounts one by one.
