Chapter Twenty-Four: The !! of the Earth Element Realm
Xue Chen and Xue Qing chose a good location in a nearby place with beautiful mountains and rivers to bury Xue Lingfeng and erected a tombstone. The tombstone reads - the tomb of the eldest brother Xue Lingfeng, Xue Chen and Xue Qing.
"Brother Xue Lingfeng, you can go with confidence! I, Xue Chen, will definitely use the head of the person who killed you to pay tribute to your soul. Xue Chen stood in front of Xue Lingfeng's grave and swore to his tombstone.
Xue Chen took Xue Qing's tender and boneless little hand and left silently, leaving only a new tomb standing alone in the middle of the beautiful mountains and rivers, slightly desolate.
"Buried?"
"Well, the third elder, it's buried!" Xue Chen looked at the third elder with his back to him, and asked a question that everyone in the Xue family wanted to know the answer to.
"Third Elder, can you tell me what realm your cultivation is?"
Hearing Xue Chen's question, the three elders were speechless for a long time. His eyes stared blankly into the distance, as if he was remembering something. Finally, he turned his head, looked at Xue Chen, and said, "Is my cultivation so important to you? You just need to know that my strength is only in the early stage of the Spirit Yuan Realm now, and you don't need to know so much about the rest!" The third elder's voice was a little bitter, as if he was deliberately avoiding something, but Xue Chen didn't know what he was avoiding.
"Well, since the elder doesn't want to say, then I won't ask. There was a faint sense of loss in Xue Chen's tone, although he was trying his best to cover it up, Chen Mo still heard it.
"You're pinning the hopes of the Xue family on me, right?" Chen Mo's tone became a little stern.
Xue Chen smiled bitterly and said, "Hehe, Third Elder, what you said is right, just now, I was still fantasizing that you are a master who can help me avenge the Xue family." But now I understand that if I want to take revenge, I can only rely on myself and slash the enemy!" Xue Chen's gaze was firm, and a murderous aura emanated from Xue Chen's body.
Chen Mo's eyes looked at Xue Chen, and there was a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Then how do you want to take revenge?" Chen Mo asked Xue Chen in a flat tone.
"Cultivate hard, wait until your strength reaches the Human Yuan Realm, enter the Lei family, and kill them all!" Hearing Xue Chen's answer, the appreciation in Chen Mo's eyes became even stronger, but there was also a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Kill into the Lei family? Do you know the strength of the Lei family?"
Chen Mo's words made Xue Chen stunned, the strength of the Lei family, hasn't the strength of the Lei family been completely revealed?" Isn't the strength of the Lei family just that the thunderstorm has reached the Human Yuan Realm alone? Even Xue Qing next to her looked at Chen Mo with a questioning gaze.
"Alas!" Chen Mo sighed. "You two! You're still too young to see things in depth. If you think about it, the Lei family and the Xue family are the two overlord-level families in Yuanliu City, so the difference in strength will not be too big. Of course, when I say the difference in strength, I mean the overall strength of the two families. And with such strength, will it become so vulnerable because of the thunderstorm in a person's Yuan Realm? Even if the heaviest is the end of annihilation, at least it can resist for a while, but you see, how many people the Lei family brought into the martial arts training ground today, after the two sides fought, the sound of the fight was so loud, why didn't the guards in the family appear? And those people you met at the door when you escaped from the martial arts training ground, who would they be? Of course not, they are just here to help the Lei family, and they are not from the Lei family at all. ”
"Why? Why are you sure they are not from the Lei family?" Xue Chen asked.
"Haven't you discovered their strength? At the very least, their strength is all people in the middle of the Aura Realm, and the higher ones are even close to the peak of the Aura Realm, what is the concept of the peak of the Aura Realm, the four elders and the fifth elders of the Xue family are just the cultivation of the peak of the Aura Realm. If the Lei family really had this power, they would have unified Yuanliu City a long time ago! What's more, why did Thunderstorm's strength improve so quickly, it is rumored that a year ago, Thunderstorm had just been promoted to the peak of the Lingyuan Realm, how could he enter the Renyuan Realm after a year, your grandfather had not been promoted for two years in the middle of the Lingyuan Realm, why did Thunderstorm stay at the peak of the Lingyuan Realm for a year and then be promoted to the realm of the Renyuan Realm. All this shows that there should be a powerful force behind the Lei family to support them, otherwise, the strength of the Lei family alone will not be able to completely destroy the Xue family in an instant!" Chen Mo's words made Xue Chen and Xue Qing speechless in shock, they really didn't expect this.
"I didn't expect the Xue family to have such a character, just by virtue of the superficial phenomenon, I have already deduced that the Lei family is not as simple as it seems on the surface! Hehe, admire and admire!" When Xue Chen was still in shock, an ethereal voice sounded between the mountains and forests.
"Who is it?" Chen Mo's sharp eyes looked in the direction where the voice came from, and Xue Chen and Xue Qing also followed the eyes of the three elders. Between the arms-thick branches, the shape of a man was revealed. This person has white hair, is dressed in white, has crane hair and a childish face, and has fairy wind bones.
"Alas, I didn't expect that after only three months of leaving, such a major change had happened to the Xue family!" the man said as if talking to himself.
"Your Excellency" Before Chen Mo's words were finished, Xue Qing's voice rang out.
"Third grandfather, why are you, why are you here?" Xue Qing ran forward, and the old man on the tree suddenly disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he had already come to Xue Qing and held Xue Qing in his arms, just like holding a four or five-year-old child.
"Third grandfather, why are you still hugging me like this! I'm not a child anymore, I've grown up!" Xue Qing said coquettishly to the old man holding her, that look was obviously a child coquettish to her grandfather.
"Hehe, Qing'er is a few years older, and she is still a little girl in front of her grandfather!" The old man looked at Xue Qing, his face full of love.
"By the way, Third Grandpa, you haven't told me why you're here?" Xue Qing asked.
"Do you think that your grandfather is really relieved to keep yourself outside! Of course I'm here to protect you! Unexpectedly, I went back to the family for a while, and when I came back, such a major change had happened in the Xue family!" the old man sighed.
Xue Chen and Chen Mo looked at them blankly. Xue Qing noticed that they were looking at her, and she also felt a little embarrassed, after all, she was already fifteen years old, and she still let her grandfather hold it in her arms like this, which seemed to be really a little unpleasant.
"Third grandfather, let me down. Xue Qing struggled to break free from the arms of the third grandfather. Taking his hand, he said to Xue Chen and Chen Mo, "Third Elder." Brother Xuechen, this is my third grandfather Leng Yan. Third grandfather, this is Xue Chen, this is Chen Mo, the third elder of the Xue family. Xue Qing made introductions separately.
"Third Grandpa, hello! Boy Xue Chen greets his seniors!" Xue Chen bowed respectfully to the old man named Leng Yan and said.
"Okay, good boy, you have already reached the aura realm, not bad, I really didn't misunderstand you!" Leng Yan looked at Xue Chen carefully, and couldn't stop admiring. "I believe that the old guy will be very relieved if there is no trace of snow!" Leng Yan said with a sigh.
Hearing Leng Yan mention his grandfather's name, Xue Chen was also silent. He seemed to see the old figure of his grandfather rushing towards the thunderstorm again, the speckled white hair. There is also the figure of the father pushing himself away and standing up to meet the enemy. Xue Chen felt his eyes moisten, and he blinked his eyelids twice so that the tears would not fall.
"I went to Xue's house just now, and there were already corpses all over the ground, and some people were cleaning them up. I grabbed one and asked. I pretty much know the ins and outs of what happened, but I also have a few things you don't know yet. ”
"What did the seniors know?" Xue Chen asked anxiously.
"Just like what your three elders said just now, there is indeed a powerful force behind the Lei family's operation, I didn't ask what this force is, but there is also a general direction, that is, the Eastern Imperial City!" As soon as the three words of the Eastern Imperial City came out, Xue Chen's mind instantly remembered a family - the Zhou family! Xue Chen did not dare to forget that his mother was still locked up by the Zhou family in a thousand-year-old cold cave and suffered, and Xue Chen also felt that the Zhou family was the most suspicious, and he had to say the reason. Xue Chen really couldn't say it, it was just a strong intuition.
"In addition, there is another thing that may let you know that there is also a master in the Lei family, this person's cultivation is above the thunderstorm, his strength has at least reached the peak of the Human Yuan Realm, and he has even stepped into the strength of the Earth Yuan Realm with half a foot!" The Lei family even hid a super master whose strength might reach the Earth Yuan Realm!
The Earth Yuan Realm is still an unattainable goal for the current Xue Chen. When he heard the three words of Diyuan Realm, Chen Mo's expression was also a little unnatural, and he looked like he was reminiscing about the past. His appearance seemed very painful, as if he didn't want to remember, but he couldn't help but remember. Xue Chen and the others also noticed Chen Mo's strange appearance.
"Third Elder, what's wrong with you?" Xue Chen asked with concern.
"Nope. It's nothing!" the third elder replied casually.
At this time, Leng Yan looked at the eyes of the three elders with an indescribable meaning. And the three elders were also a little dodgy when they saw Leng Yan's gaze.
What the hell is he hiding?
