Chapter 469: An Undercurrent Rises
In the spacious and bright hall, an old man with gorgeous hair leisurely crossed his legs, the old man's face was narrow and long, his face was ruddy, and he looked radiant. His eyes were closed tightly, and his palms seemed to be slapping the table at his side quite comfortably. Occasionally, those eyes would narrow slightly, and take a sip of a cup of fragrant tea next to him.
The quiet atmosphere did not last long. Half an hour later, the silence was broken by the sound of hurried footsteps. The old man with Huafa was a little displeased to stop humming a little song, put down his left leg, and regained his majestic appearance.
"What's wrong?"
Raising his eyes to see the person who walked into the hall door, Zhang Peng's face softened slightly, and said, "Tianwen, why are you in such a hurry?"
The person who appeared in front of him was not an outsider, but the brother of Zhang Peng's wife, who had managed the Zhang family for many years, and could be called his right-hand man, and he was deeply respected. The Zhang family's external intelligence work is controlled by this person.
"Brother-in-law, I've figured out everything you asked me to investigate. Walking into the hall, coming to the seat on the right and sitting down, Guo Tianwen handed Zhang Peng a pile of materials in his hand.
"It's only been three days, so fast?" frowned slightly, Zhang Peng took the materials and said while flipping through them.
"This kid is indeed the one you met in the foggy cloud mountain. And two years ago, when he was in the tomb of the Holy Master of Blood Pan Mountain, he was hit by Xiao Yu, and he was the one who injured Zhang Pu. ”
As he spoke, Guo Tianwen took the teacup in his hand and drank it all, and then said: "This kid's life is really big. At that time in the Northern Wilderness, he offended the director of the Shuirun Chamber of Commerce in the Xiran State Branch, whose name was Shui Luo, who was the younger brother of Shui Wuyang, a peripheral deacon of the headquarters of the Shuirun Chamber of Commerce. Summoning the Celestial Master Realm. Phantom Beast Eight Star High. ”
"Shui Wuyang? Didn't that person die more than three years ago? Later, the Shui family seemed to have a lot of disputes because of the right to preside over the housework. And his three sons divided the house. I've occasionally heard an elder of the Hydration Chamber of Commerce mention this matter. Zhang Peng interrupted.
"Shui Luo and Shui Wuyang brothers are precisely because they intercepted and killed Zhang Hao. Died on the way. At that time, the person who guarded them was Zhang Fei, who reported from the Hui tribe in a desperate town. ”
Guo Tianwen smashed his mouth and sighed: "Zhang Fei's strength is at most comparable to Shui Wuyang, I expect that the Shui Luo brothers have the intention of killing, and they will definitely be prepared along the way." Even so, Zhang Hao escaped. ”
Speaking of this, Guo Tianwen changed his words and said, "Brother-in-law, Zhang Hongyi died at that time. Isn't the head of the family showing too bland? Zhang Hao is the body and soul talent that he has personally tested, and he has never opened the divine soul and cultivated the sevenfold phantom body Dacheng realm, which is really too unbelievable! Could it be that their mother and son were sent out and secretly cultivated by the two guardians of the clan?"
"Impossible!"
Zhang Peng's face was ugly and he said no, "I was also there at the testing ceremony, and I and the second elder Zhang Song also went out to recheck it several times. The degree of weakness of the meridians in this kid's body has absolutely no possibility of breaking away. At that time, the eldest brother secretly sent them out of the family, and although it was done in great secrecy, how could he hide it from my ears and eyes? If it were not for the presence of a widow with a wasted son, I might not have shoveled the grass and eradicated the roots?"
"As for the two guards in the family. The old man of Dazu has always put his mind on Xiao Yu, and he has rarely gone out over the years. But the second ancestor is not easy to say. However, to guide Zhang Hao's cultivation, resources such as top-grade holy fruits are all treasures that cannot be found, without the support of the family's huge intelligence network, even if he is strong, but if he closes his eyes and touches blindly, how many times can he yujian?"
"Isn't that too strange?" Guo Tianwen's brows furrowed.
"He has a mysterious master by his side. Recalling the scene when Wuyun Mountain was created, Zhang Peng had palpitations.
"Brother-in-law, it's been half a year since you broke through the Divine Master Realm. The Ninefold Illusion Body Realm has also been initially stabilized, what if you face the master behind that kid again?" As Zhang Peng's henchman, before investigating Zhang Hao's origin, Guo Tianwen had learned about some of the previous events, so seeing the former's face at this moment, he asked cautiously. It is about an unknown summoning priest, if he offends and dies, and the other party secretly retaliates, the consequences will be unimaginable.
"When I really stepped into the realm of the Divine Master, I really understood the strength of that person. Although it was also a ninefold phantom body, he didn't lean over at that time, and the liliang that burst out was much stronger than my current one. ”
Zhang Peng's eyes were a little more solemn, and after a long silence, he asked: "But I didn't expect Zhang Hao to have been nesting in Zhongping Academy for the past few years, no wonder my eldest brother has always been running to Shuichang City for a year." ”
"Well, he had two years of training outside, and soon after returning to Zhongping Academy, he came to the Azure Capital. Moreover, in this year's graduation competition of Zhongping Academy, he defeated the Qin Domain of the Holy Master Realm with the strength of one person. It is said that Zan Qian also went out of Shuibian City for him, and now he is also coming to Zhang's house. Judging by the appearance, Zhang Hao's talent for spiritual cultivation must not be weak, otherwise he would definitely not impress this stubborn old man. ”
As he spoke, Guo Tianwen's face turned a little heavy, and he said, "I have also investigated the reason why Jin Xun has been running into the clan every day these days. It's not because of anything else, but Zhang Hao solved the problem of the Golden Phoenix Qing Fantasy Pill in one fell swoop!"
"What did you say?"
Hearing this, Zhang Peng couldn't keep his composure anymore, and stood up with a 'open' sound, his face instantly turned blue. After a long time, he slowly sat back in his seat and said, "You mean that Zhang Hao is at least a third-line dark soul talent?"
Nodding heavily, Guo Tianwen smiled bitterly: "I know everything about Jin Manzi's daughter, who can help Jin Fengqing solve the problem of the Phantom Pill's strength." Not only can you win the return of the beauty, but you will also directly become the next uncrowned master of the follow-up Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce. Now, the Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce has changed its previous neutral attitude, and it must have something to do with Zhang Hao. ”
"This is a big problem!"
"The core of the family includes the current ten elders and thirty-two peripheral deacons. There were twelve on my eldest brother's side, and sixteen on my side, supporting Xiao Yu. However, there are still sixteen elite deacons of the family, who are sent abroad to maintain neutrality under the major strongholds and heavy industries within the clan. Now Zan Qian, who is the five legendary forging masters of Dalu, and the Golden Hairpin Chamber of Commerce, the head of the five major chambers of commerce, are all revolving around Zhang Hao, and this style is enough for the remaining deacons to show their attitude. Mo said that it was now to let Xiao Yu take the position of the head of the Zhang family. I'm afraid that because of Zhang Hao's return. It is also difficult to say the position of the future head of the family. It seems that Xiao Yu must be notified to leave the customs in the next few days. "Secretly estimated. Zhang Peng's tone was heavy.
After saying that, after pondering for a long time, Zhang Peng asked, "What about the clan? With Zhang Hao's return, are there any unfavorable remarks?"
Hearing this, Guo Tianwen's face suddenly had a touch of bitterness, and he said: "Two years ago, when the blood pan mountain party came back, those juniors who participated in the training greatly publicized the matter of the Holy Master's tomb, which already had a great blow to Xiao Yu's prestige in the clan. And Zhang Hao was unknown at that time. is only rumored to be a sixteen or seventeen-year-old expatriate son of the family. But in the past seven or eight days, their family has been extremely low-key, but we have arranged for someone to make trouble, and the residence treatment given by the head of the family after his return to the family has made people aware of his identity. Therefore, especially among the juniors, what happened two years ago has been turned over again, and there is a tendency to spread. ”
"These long-tongued dogs!"
said coldly, Zhang Peng's expression was uncertain. Zhang Yu's prestige among the juniors of the Zhang family is unparalleled, and it is precisely because of these years that it has been maintained and strengthened. So that he has a high position in the hearts of all the younger generation, even the older generation. Other words. In the Zhang family, the next head of the family is none other than Zhang Yu. And suddenly, one day, when everyone found out that there was a clansman who was more than ten years younger than the mythical character in their hearts and had more potential. This half-schadenfreude, half-anticipation mood is uncontrollable as soon as it appears. After all, it's none of their business, the so-called spectators only care about a stronger person to lead the Zhang family, and as for the confrontation, they don't care.
"Don't pay attention to them, just remember who is spreading the rumors against Xiao Yu. If you want to see Xiao Yu's liveliness, let them see it! The battle for the upper position is to take 10,000 steps back, even if Xiao Yu can't be the head of the family, he will definitely be the chief elder of the Zhang family in the future. What about them? will they be able to step on Xiao Yu's head? a bunch of short-sighted idiots!"
"Brother-in-law, you can't say that, after all, now the Great Ancestor is still inclined to Xiao Yu. Guo Tianwen was quite determined at this time. Even though the family has two guards, the second ancestor is the younger generation of the great ancestor after all, and both his prestige and status are weaker than the latter.
"Hmph, the Great Ancestor is optimistic about Xiao Yu, for so many years, without the cultivation of his adult family, Xiao Yu would not have achieved such an achievement today. But his old man has always considered objectively from the perspective of the Zhang family, not to mention completely on Xiao Yu's side. Now that Zhang Hao has returned to the clan, his divine soul talent and growth potential will never be worse than Xiao Yu. The most important thing is that he must also have a strong soul cultivation comprehension. In this way, the attitude of the Great Ancestor will not be good to make a decision again!"
"Tell the fourth child, don't go to Zhang Hao to make trouble in the past two days. I thought that I would give them a disadvantage first, but I didn't expect that stealing chickens would not lead to rice, but I poked out the incident of the Holy Master's tomb two years ago. ”
With a long sigh, Zhang Peng crossed his hands together and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on Zhang Hao's residence." Don't make any changes for the time being, everything will wait for Xiao Yu to get out of the customs. ”
"It's this Zhang Hao who has three heads and six arms, and now he is only summoning the Legendary Realm. In the family, everyone looks at the real strength, not the so-called potential. As long as Xiao Yu can keep up with this kid, or show a huge gap with him, the situation will still tilt to our side. After all, over the years, Xiao Yu's prestige in the Zhang family is still unbreakable, Zhang Hao has not been in the family for a few days, and his footsteps have not been firm, how can he compare?"
"My brother-in-law is right. Then I'll go and inform the four elders. Nodding approvingly, Guo Tianwen stood up and wanted to leave.
"Wait a minute. ”
Seeing this, Zhang Peng waved his hand, and his eyes flashed: "Cheng Junlang is the first person in charge of the Cheng family's intelligence. If you can, send someone to reveal Zhang Hao's specific information to him. The Cheng family now regards the Zhang family as a life-and-death rival, and in recent years, they have set up two important strongholds in the dry bone desert and the open sea wasteland to have frequent contacts with evil masters. It is expected that they would never want to see a genius comparable to Cheng Yongyi appear in the Zhang family again, right?
"Brother-in-law, the Cheng family and the evil master family are in cahoots. In the early years, Xiao Yu was training outside, and he was hunted down by unidentified saint masters or divine masters. After subsequent investigations, most of them are inseparable from the Cheng family. Even if there is a dispute, it is our Zhang family's own internal matter, if the Cheng family is involved, will it be too much?"
The Zhang family and the Shangguan family never gave up the opportunity to get rid of Cheng Yongyi. These things, as long as they don't tear their faces, everyone knows it. ”
The corners of Zhang Peng's mouth swirled into a sinister smile, and he said: "Only when you grow up can you be called a genius." If you die in the middle of the journey, how can you blame others? Go ahead, things have to be done without leakage. In addition, remember that Zhang Hao's behavior must always be revealed to the Cheng family, and if he is really unfortunate Yujian accident, it is no wonder that others. ”
"Yes!"
Hearing the resoluteness in Zhang Peng's tone, Guo Tianwen's face was silent for a long time, and finally nodded slightly, and then turned around and walked out of the hall (to be continued......
