Chapter 168: The Grave Keeper

In the depths of the blood-filled Hurricane Canyon, at this moment, Zhou Tao, the acting head of the Zhou clan, led several elders to slaughter groups of masked and horse-riding black-clothed people.

One of them, a ghost-faced man wearing a cyan mask, intervened to stop the slaughtering Zhou Tao, and the two fought each other, and soon shifted their positions and flew to the sand dunes in the distance to fight.

And like pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep being slaughtered by the eight elders of the Zhou clan, among the black-clothed crowd of horse bandits, a hunchbacked old man and an old woman on crutches suddenly came out.

The two of them each fought against four elders of the Spirit King Realm and the Spirit Emperor Realm, not only did they not fall behind, but they also had a faint advantage.

In the sand dunes far away, the green-faced man and Zhou Tao had already stopped fighting each other.

"How did you end up with those two old guys?"

Zhou Tao and the blue-faced man seemed to know each other, and they talked and questioned like old friends.

"Met halfway!"

"They are the reinforcements secretly invited by Zhou Tai and Zhou Song, and you also know that at our level, it is almost impossible to kill the other party by dividing the winner."

The blue-faced man replied lightly, obviously he and Zhou Tao were just cooperating, not his subordinates.

Zhou Tao frowned when he heard this, and before he could speak again, there was a scream in the distance.

"Humph!"

Zhou Tao, who disappeared in place in an instant, snorted coldly, and when he reappeared, he had already joined forces with four henchmen and elders to besiege the hunchbacked old man and the old woman on crutches who wanted to strike again.

"Stop!"

The two sides fought, and the blue-faced man teleported into the battlefield to stop the two sides from fighting.

At this moment, Zhou Tao and the four elders beside him suddenly attacked dozens of members of the Zhou clan behind him.

The swift figure flickered, and dozens of members of the Zhou clan fell in a pool of blood almost in the blink of an eye.

The huge gap in strength is not something that can be made up by the strength of the bloodline.

The hundreds of guards of the Zhou clan who were fighting in the distance had already stopped and gathered together at this moment, looking at Zhou Tao and the four elders who were killing with some fear.

"You go back to your ancestral land first!"

"Yes......"

Zhou Tao glanced at the hundreds of guards, and did not directly kill them.

When the 100 guards heard this, they flew into the depths of the Hurricane Canyon.

Soon there were only five people left in the field: the green-faced man, the hunchbacked old man, the old woman on crutches, and Zhou Tao.

All the horse bandits and men in black had already been ordered to leave, and now there were only eight strong men left in the battlefield except for the corpses.

"My Zhou clan can't be messed up!"

"These corpses are worth a lot to you! I can give it to you! ”

Zhou Tao's eyes fell on the hunchbacked old man and the old woman on crutches, and he said that he thought that the other party should not refuse.

When the hunchbacked old man and the old woman on crutches heard this, their faces also showed surprise.

They all looked at the corpse of the Zhou clan not far away, and there was greed in their eyes.

But the two did not leave there, but each made a condition to ask for other benefits.

Zhou Tao, whose face was a little gloomy, finally agreed to the lion of the two to open his mouth.

Although the selection of the new patriarch this time was the result of countless discussions between him and the Great Elder, the Second Elder and other high-level leaders.

In the past, don't look at him as the acting patriarch, it was just because of his countless meritorious contributions and the secret support behind his back.

Don't look like it's very high-ranking and powerful, but in fact, there are a lot of trivial things every day, and he can't be the master of the big things in the clan.

The Great Elder, Second Elder and the others didn't take him seriously at all.

If it weren't for the fact that his cultivation had already stepped into the half-step Spirit Venerable Realm, he would not be able to compete with the Great Elder, Second Elder and the others at all.

This time, in order to facilitate the smooth selection of the new patriarch, he not only laid out a lot of followers, but also paid a lot of costs.

The blue-faced man was the reinforcement he had secretly invited this time, and he planned to help defend against the threat of the Great Elder and the Second Elder when the time came.

He now has four elders who have surrendered, and the other four disobedient elders have all fallen now.

The hunchbacked old man and the old woman on crutches, after receiving the benefits promised by Zhou Tao, turned around and smiled at each other and left.

The hurricanes in Hurricane Canyon can only resist outsiders who are weaker in cultivation, and for top powerhouses such as hunchbacked old men and old women on crutches, the hurricanes in Hurricane Canyon are not able to hurt them at all.

The two disappeared almost instantly, and after the blue-faced man took out the black robe and put it on himself, he silently followed Zhou Tao and the others into the depths of the hurricane canyon.

The altar whirlpool in the cave is not accessible to outsiders, but as long as the blood of the last clansman is smeared, they can enter the whirlpool smoothly.

......

......

In the Ice Valley Cemetery, the battlefield of the battle has long been covered by wind and snow.

The dragon's chant and golden light red flame are almost a nightmare of a beast-shaped black shadow.

Zhou Fan tried his best to attack, and finally burned the beast-shaped black shadow and shattered it into ashes.

Just as he had consumed a large amount of forbidden qi and bloodline power and fell into a coma, and was almost engulfed by countless black shadows in the distance, an old figure suddenly appeared beside him.

The phantom-like afterimage took Zhou Daozhi and Zhou Fan with ease, and easily passed through the encirclement of countless black shadows.

In the small courtyard of the thatched hut in the depths of the Cold Ice Valley Cemetery, at this moment, Zhou Hong and Ye Lan were all looking at the countless black shadows wandering outside the courtyard with worried faces.

The two people, who were pale and injured, resisted the impulse and did not rush out of the courtyard rashly.

At this moment, an afterimage that quickly passed through the group of black shadows entered the small courtyard in an instant.

Zhou Hong and Ye Lan were all secretly startled, and before the two could react, they saw an old man with a withered face throwing Zhou Daozhi in the courtyard.

Zhou Fan was taken into the thatched house by him, so that Zhou Hong and Ye Lan couldn't react for a while.

"Don't anger him, he's the grave keeper of the Ice Valley Cemetery."

"You guys hurry up and recover from your injuries, and we have to beg him to bring back Hitomi's body when we go back!"

Zhou Daozhi stood up and said a word to Zhou Hong and Ye Lan, and hurriedly dodged to the outside of the thatched house.

I saw that the grave keeper in the house was stretching out his hand as old as old bark, groping on Zhou Fan's body together, and those who didn't know thought he was an old pervert.

"Daddy! What is Grave Keeper? ”

"Why haven't I heard of it?"

Zhou Hong was in the mood to heal, he came to his father Zhou Daozhi and asked in a whisper, obviously a little worried that the so-called tomb keeper would be unfavorable to Zhou Fan, who was unconscious in the house.

"The grave keeper is the top powerhouse who has guarded the cemetery for generations, and I have never seen him as an old man, but I have only learned about it from the records of his ancestral home."

Zhou Daozhi explained in a whisper, he was actually just guessing, and he was not sure that the old man with unfathomable strength was the grave keeper.

The Ice Valley Cemetery was difficult for outsiders to enter, and he wouldn't have ventured to stay in such a dangerous place if he hadn't been cornered.

Although it is a cemetery, it is also a place of repression.

"Weird!"

"What a quirky and funny little ghost!"

At this time, the sound of the withered old man talking to himself came from the thatched house.

His deep-set eye sockets glowed with a faint green light, and they were actually a pair of mutated heavenly pupils.

The withered old man stared at the faint golden glow on Zhou Fan's skin at this moment, broke his eyelids, and looked at his pupils suspiciously.

The faint green light in his eyes gradually burst into flames, and when the two turquoise flames swirled in the pupils of the withered old man, his gaze directly penetrated Zhou Fan's red pupils and saw the mysterious pair of pupils behind the red pupils.

"Ahh

With just one glance, the withered old man with the mutated heavenly pupil screamed miserably.

Two drops of crimson blood dripped down, and the withered old man's eyes were injured.

"Nope! No way! ”

"That little girl has awakened the incomplete purple pupils, you, how can you be a junior of the next generation?"

"You, you have also awakened and mutated the Buddha bones of the Ye family's lineage, this, how is this possible!"

"And the dragon groan? Have you awakened the voice of the dragon lin? ”

Every time the withered old man said a word in shock, the faces of the three people outside the thatched hut changed in shock.

Especially Ye Lan and Zhou Hong, both of them looked at each other and saw shock and disbelief in each other's eyes.

As we all know, the bloodline inheritance of the ancient clan will only inherit the one with the strongest bloodline, and cannot inherit the bloodline of both sides.

Even interracial marriages will be cursed, not only will there be various birth defects, but the power of the inherited bloodline will also be weakened.

Therefore, in order to prevent the eventual loss of the lineage, the ancient tribes forbade intermarriage with foreign tribes.

When Zhou Hong met Ye Lan and fell in love with her, he didn't know Ye Lan's true identity.

Later, I learned that she had the blood of the Ye family, and the two sides had long been inseparable, and finally chose to be together.

Fortunately, Zhou Fan and Zhou Tong have no congenital defects, only Zhou Tong has an extra vertical pupil, and it is a congenitally mutated heavenly pupil.

"Wait outside! I'd like to talk to this kid alone! ”

When the injured withered old man opened his eyes again, the glow of the pupils had long since disappeared, turning into a pair of dull and cloudy eyes.

He said a word to the three of Zhou Daozhi outside the thatched hut, and the door of the thatched hut closed directly with a wave of his hand.

Zhou Hong, who was outside the house, was startled and hesitated to break in, but saw his father Zhou Daozhi shaking his head at him.

The three of them waited worriedly outside the thatched house, while Zhou Fan inside the house had already woken up.

He opened his eyes and saw a withered old face close at hand, almost in cardiac arrest without being frightened.

"Huh! Don't be afraid, little one! ”

The withered old man showed a smile that he thought was kind, his face like the bark of an old tree was wrinkled and laughed more than a ghost, and Zhou Fan frowned wildly when he saw it.

He quickly sat up straight, and then found himself in a strange thatched hut.

"Was it the senior who saved me?"

Zhou Fan asked tentatively!

"Hmmm! You can call me a grave keeper! ”

"I'm the ancestor of you juniors!"

The old man's answer made Zhou Fan slightly surprised.

Listening to the meaning of the other party's words, it is not difficult to guess that he should live in this snowy cemetery all year round.

"Why do you have double eyes?"

"And what's the matter with the mutated Buddha bone that your throat bone awakened?"

"Why do you know how to chant dragons? After awakening, why can the Heavenly Pupil still grow dragon scales? ”

"And why is your blood so strange?"

The withered old man asked several questions in a row, and all of his questions hit the point, which made Zhou Fan's face change slightly when he heard this, and he was more vigilant and vigilant against the withered old man.

He only shook his head slightly, and did not answer the old man's inquiry.
