The old man of Tianji left the Hongmen, and as soon as he walked out of the gate of the ancient castle, a person came out under a dark tree next to the ancient castle.

"Tianji senior, please stay."

The old man of Tianji frowned and looked over there, and saw that the person who came was the middle-aged man he had seen in the ancient castle just now.

"Is that you?"

The middle-aged man nodded, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Tianji senior, are you leaving?" ”

"Yes, I'm going to continue to track down the kid who snatched the cultivation stone, what's the matter with you?"

The middle-aged man asked with a smile: "I want to ask you, old man, are you sure that the person who snatched the cultivation stone is a young man with an oriental face?" ”

"How can this be fake?"

The old man of Tianji had a slightly impatient expression, "At that time, I caught an alien race who had seen the true face of that kid at the scene, and that alien saw that kid snatch the cultivation stone with his own eyes. ”

The middle-aged man pretended to be sorry and said, "That's a pity, I was also at the scene at the time, and I didn't find any young people with oriental faces." ”

"You went to the scene too?" The old man of Tianji squinted slightly, looked at the middle-aged man and said, "Shouldn't it be that you snatched the thing?" ”

The middle-aged and young people saw that the old man of Tianji was suspicious of coming up, so he waved his hand in fright, and said, "How is it possible, Tianji senior, do you look like a young man?" ”

Only then did the old man of Tianji take his eyes off the young man, "Don't delay my time if there's nothing to do, let's go!" ”

The old man of Tianji glanced at the middle-aged man, and then a bounce and soared directly into the air.

The middle-aged man looked at the old man of Tianji gradually disappearing into the night sky, his expression suddenly became gloomy, and he gritted his teeth and whispered: "Lin Tao, you kid actually deceived me, and the cultivation stone was snatched away by you!" ”

……

Three days passed, and during these three days, Huo Hua never saw Lin Tao.

At noon that day, it was snowing heavily in the sky, and Huo Hua couldn't help but be curious and knocked on Huo Xiangtian's office.

"Enter!"

Huo Xiangtian's angry voice came from inside.

Huo Hua pushed open the door and walked in, and saw that Huo Xiangtian was burying his head in calculating the recent benefits of Hongmen, so he smiled and said, "Door master, are you busy?" ”

Huo Xiangtian glanced up at Huo Hua and said, "Yes, you are reconciling, do you have something?" ”

"Oh, it's not a big deal, I just haven't seen Mr. Lin for a few days, where did he go?" Huo Hua observed Huo Xiangtian's expression and asked in a low voice.

Huo Xiangtian put down the work at hand, looked at Huo Hua with interest, and said with a smile: "Cousin, why are you suddenly so concerned about Lin Tao's whereabouts?" ”

Huo Hua's heart as a thief suddenly burst out, and he hurriedly squeezed out a smile and said: "It's not that I care about him, it's just that he promised you to help us fight against the alien race, I haven't seen his figure for a few days, I'm worried that he will break his promise and sneak away?" ”

Huo Hua is Huo Xiangtian's cousin, so Huo Xiangtian has not been very wary of Huo Hua all along, and when he saw Huo Hua asking Lin Tao, he said truthfully: "You don't have to worry about this, he has been practicing in retreat for the past few days, and he wants to make a breakthrough." ”

"Oh? Why are you suddenly in a hurry to cultivate? ”

Huo Xiangtian looked at the door, lowered his voice and said: "This kid is deeply blessed, he actually found the cultivation stone, with the cultivation stone, he should be able to break through the early stage of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao' and enter the mid-stage realm of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao' recently." ”

"He actually got the cultivation stone?"

Huo Hua pretended to be very surprised, and then snorted again, looking very annoyed and said, "This kid obviously got the cultivation stone, why did he lie to me on the way back that day and say that he didn't find it!" ”

"Pifu is not guilty, he is guilty, we should understand Lin Tao at this point, after all, it is a peerless treasure, and our relationship with him is not good enough for him to be honest with us, so it is normal for him to hide it from you."

Huo Hua no longer dwelled on this issue, and seeing that Huo Xiangtian was in a good mood today, he asked tentatively: "Brother, do you really plan to pass on the position of the master of the Hongmen Gate to Lin Tao?" ”

"Well, there is such a plan, what's wrong?"

"Hongmen, our Huo family has been in business for two generations, are you so willing to give Hongmen to others?" Huo Hua's face was unwilling.

Huo Xiangtian glared at Huo Hua angrily and said, "If you don't hand it over to him, won't it be handed over to you?" I want to put the Hongmen in your hands, but the question is that with your cultivation, can you defend the Hongmen? Your talent is average, and your cultivation is not high, how can you serve the public and serve as the master of the door. ”

Huo Hua hurriedly explained: "Brother, what do you think, why do I want to be the master of the door, I just feel curious, why do you have the idea of abdicating in front of the good master?" ”

Huo Xiangtian smiled, "I really want to know the reason?" ”

"Well, I can't understand your decision."

Huo Xiangtian sighed and said: "The main reason why I don't want to continue to serve as the master of the sect is that my current cultivation has also reached a bottleneck stage, the peak state of the mid-stage of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao', only one step away from being able to impact the late stage cultivation of the 'Refining Void Combination Dao', and then I will be qualified to impact the 'Earth Immortal' realm, although there is little hope, but people live for a lifetime, there must be some hope, right?" ”

"So you're going to concentrate on cultivation and ignore the world?"

"Yes." Huo Xiangtian nodded and said truthfully.

Huo Hua looked at Huo Xiangtian with a complicated expression, "Even if you concentrate on cultivation, there is no need to give up the position of the master of the door, this Hongmen still has me and the Great Elder to help you watch." ”

Huo Xiangtian shook his head: "The Great Elder is old, his mind is not bright enough, although your mind is not bad, but your cultivation is not enough, you can't keep the foundation of Hongmen, now the most suitable person is only Lin Tao, and ......"

Speaking of this, Huo Xiangtian paused, and said with a solemn expression: "Lin Tao can hold the Sun and Moon Knife, and he also belongs to the well-deserved master of the Hongmen, this is the rule set by the patriarch of the Kai Sect, you should know it." ”

"Brother, I know!" Howard's expression was a little gloomy.

Huo Xiangtian sighed slightly, and said with a sad expression: "My Huo family doesn't know what evil they have done, even if I don't have an heir, even your body ......."

At the mention of this, Huo Hua's expression became very strange, he looked at Huo Xiangtian, his eyes were full of greed, and said, "Brother, I heard that the cultivation stone can help people reshape their physical bodies!" ”

Huo Xiangtian was slightly stunned, "What do you mean?" ”

"Brother, our Huo family can't be childless, you have to help me!"

Huo Xiangtian's expression sank, "You want to snatch the cultivation stone from Lin Tao's hand?" ”

Huo Hua saw that he had already said this, and he didn't want to hide it anymore, so he nodded fiercely, and said with a gloomy expression: "Brother, as long as I can get the cultivation stone, not only can my body become complete, but even my cultivation will be greatly improved, and then we don't need outsiders to manage it." ”

Speaking of this, Howard's expression was extremely hideous.

"Are you crazy?"

Huo Xiangtian glared at Huo Hua, "Let's not talk about whether the cultivation stone has the ability to reshape the body, even if it does, with your cultivation, you may not be able to control it, if you are not careful, you will be blown up by the powerful ability of the cultivation stone, and there will be no place to die." ”

"I'm not afraid!"

"Say no more!"

Huo Xiangtian turned his back impatiently, no longer looked at Huo Hua, and said with an indifferent expression: "Dispel the thoughts in your heart, don't think about it in the future, if you dare to mention this matter again, you will be severely punished!" ”

"Brother......

"Get out!"

Huo Hua glanced coldly at Huo Xiangtian, who was facing away from him, and then turned around and walked out menacingly.

……

Huo Hua walked out of the castle in one breath, gritted his teeth and scolded as he walked: "Bastard, I am your brother, you would rather help outsiders than help me, wait...... You're all waiting for me! ”

"Jie Ji ......"

Suddenly, an extremely shrill laugh rang in Howard's ears.

Howard was startled, and when he turned to look behind him, he saw an old man in a white robe with gray hair floating in the air, staring at him like a ghost.

"You...... Who are you? ”

"Durán!"

"Duran?" Huo Hua frowned slightly, seeing that Durán's face was pale and bloodless, with a standard Western face, so he said curiously: "I don't know you, is there something wrong with you?" ”

"It doesn't matter if you don't know me, but I can help you!"

Du Lanruo said in a seductive tone.

Huo Hua frowned and said, "Help me with what?" I don't need your help with anything! ”

"Don't you want to be the master of the Hongmen?"

Howard's heart jumped, he stared at Duran Er carefully, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Durán grinned, "Do you know who arranged the recent attack on your Hongmen by the alien race?" ”

When Howard heard Duran say this, his eyes widened in surprise and said, "Listen to what you mean, is it you?" ”

"Hehe, it's me."

Howard suddenly made a defensive posture as if facing a great enemy, "What the hell do you want to do?" ”

"Don't talk to me in such a hostile manner." Duran squinted his eyes and said: "The reason why I attacked Hongmen is because of something in Hongmen Castle, I have no interest in your Hongmen, but you are interested in the position of the master of Hongmen, you can't deny this, right?" ”

"What the hell are you trying to say?"

"Hehe, it's very simple, let's cooperate, join forces to take down Hongmen, I will take what I want, and you are rightfully the master of Hongmen, who dares to disobey, I will help you kill it, how about it?"

"You want me to betray Hongmen?"

"You can understand it that way!"

"Don't think!" Howard glared at Duran.

Durán looked at Huo Hua condescendingly, and said: "Don't be busy refusing, I'll give you two days to think about it, if you don't give me an answer after two days, it will be regarded as refusing to cooperate, and then you don't regret it, originally your Hongmen is the end of the crossbow, and it is not difficult to destroy your Hongmen, the reason why I am looking for you to cooperate is just to reduce casualties, you think about it, don't do things that you regret for life......"

Huo Hua saw that Durant's body was shaking, and he disappeared into the air all of a sudden, as if he had woken up from a dream, and hurriedly shouted in a low voice: "Where can I find you?" ”

"Jie Ji ......"

Durán let out a shrill laugh that went straight to Howard's mind, and although the person had disappeared, his laughter had been echoing in Howard's mind......
