Volume 1 Multi-party Struggle for Hegemony Chapter 3 Return to the Yan Pavilion, Yuan Dong
"Soul extraction?"
And most likely, there are several mysterious forces: the Dark Jade Sect of Tianmang Mountain, the Phaseless Hall and the Evil Cloud Servant of the Blue Cloud Land, and the Frozen Glacier of the Tempered Water Illusion, according to the guard, the people of these forces have been wandering around the continent for many years, with the purpose of collecting souls. If you want to find the person who killed the child, you must first start investigating from these families. ”
Li Chen said: "But the Zhongxing Continent is vast, and there are also many capable people who will extract the souls of others, and it is not only these sects. ”
Tong Fangdao squinted his eyes slightly and said, "I've thought about it too, but you were unconscious until Tong Lie found out that you were only ten minutes old, and you and Tong Qing didn't offend anyone else, so a single cultivator has no reason or motive to drain Tong Qing's soul." And there are sects in this sect, and I also know that some sects will do anything to make themselves stronger, and maybe only this reason can be said to be in the past. ”
Tong Xiangyi frowned slightly: "It's not easy to talk about, I inquired during the period, these four forces are all existences that we can't afford to provoke, and the Dark Jade Sect may be able to find a way, after all, it is one of the strongest forces in the empire, as long as you get the support of the empire, you can find out something." And the other forces are not in the empire, let alone investigate, even if you want to find out the situation inside, it is particularly tricky......"
"No matter who it is, the revenge of killing my son is not shared, and even if I spend all my savings, I will peel it and break it to the bone, no exception. ”
Li Chen clenched his fists tightly, and his heart was so angry that his fists sank into the ground.
"I agree with my father, I will investigate this matter, I will definitely find the murderer and avenge Qingzi. ”
But Tong Fangdao shook his head when he heard this: "No, I don't allow you to go, you just need to stay at home and cultivate well, as far as the investigation is concerned, I will naturally send someone to go." ”
Li Chen got up and grabbed Tong Fangdao's cuffs and said, "Father, you believe that I will definitely find it, so you let me go." "He is also responsible for Tong Qing's death, and he can't stand idly by.
Tong Fangdao sighed and said, "Child, do you know why I trust you so much?"
Li Chen shook his head blankly, he also wanted to know the answer to the sudden question, he was indeed around him before Tong Qing's death, and Tong Lingran, who had always been good with him, also proved that he killed the person, and it stands to reason that Tong Fangdao would not believe it so absolutely.
Tong Fangdao's eyes narrowed slightly, looking into the distance, as if he recalled something far away, and said leisurely for a long time: "I trust you just like your father trusted me back then." ”
"Father?" these two words suddenly tugged at Li Chen's heartstrings, and he knew who Tong Fangdao was talking about.
"Didn't you always want to hear me about the heroic deeds of the past?" Tong Fangdao paused and continued, "Your father is a hero, that battle was only eight or nine kilometers away from Tongjia Village, and even if only one-tenth of the overwhelming star power was released, it was enough to destroy Tongjia Village, including everyone. ”
"That's why I had to go in, when your father was holding you with his left hand and releasing an energy circle with his right hand to lock all the star power inside, so that the star power didn't destroy the village. But fortunately, he still killed the enemy later. ”
Hearing this, Li Chen was even more curious, but his face was indeed a little excited.
"Also present was your mother, and when they saw me come in, they unanimously decided to entrust you to me, and then gave me money that I could not spend for the rest of my life. And say to me to keep you safe. I'm not sure why they trust me so much, but I'm sure I won't live up to their trust. ”
"So, this matter is too dangerous, I have to make sure you are safe, you have to understand your father, and you have to understand me. ”
After listening to this, Li Chen had no choice but to bow his head and say, "In this case, I will listen to your father." ”
Several people talked in front of Tong Qing's grave for a long time before going back, and before leaving, Tong Fangdao said: "As for Tong Lingran, I know her purpose, the reason why she framed you is because she wants to get a place to go to Guiyan Pavilion to cultivate. ”
Li Chen was stunned, he also roughly knew what was going on, Gui Yan Pavilion was the same as the Dark Jade Sect, and it was also one of the strongest forces in the Scorching Sun Empire, since fifteen years ago, Tong Fang Island used the money given by Li Chen's father to buy countless heavenly and earth treasures, and after the overall strength of Tongjia Village was raised, Tongjia Village became a place where the two empires of Scorching Sun and Qingyi competed to pull together, of course, including the rest of the powerful forces, Gui Yan Pavilion was one of them. In order to win over Tongjia Village, these forces naturally want to compete to poach powerful or talented people here.
After negotiations with the people of Tongjia Village, they originally planned to send Lichen to Guiyan Pavilion to study, but after this incident, everyone actually knew about the change in the quota. After all, the person who decided the quota was Tong Han.
Li Chen inadvertently lost the qualification to go to the Wild Goose Pavilion to cultivate, but he was not angry, what made him angry was that Tong Lingran actually betrayed him for a small place.
"This man's heart!" said Lichen bitterly.
At night, the stars are shining, and the heat of the day lingers on the ground, and only the breeze blowing from the other side of the mountain will bring temporary coolness.
On the bluestone platform in the backyard, Li Chen sat cross-legged on it without moving, keeping a strange seal with his hands, and the sun was setting not long at this time, and the cultivation star power was the best at this time.
The Zhongxing Continent is mainly based on cultivating star power, and everyone will condense a ball that stores star power in the center of their eyebrows when they are born, and this ball is called the Star Sea. The larger the sea of stars, the stronger the strength of the cultivators, but the amount of star power stored in each sea of stars is limited, once it is full, it will be cultivated through the differentiation of the cultivators, and the second sea of stars will be condensed, and when the number of the sea of stars is cultivated to nine, it can no longer be differentiated, only fused. If the fusion is successful, it will be one step stronger.
Now Lichen has differentiated into the ninth star sea, which is known as the ninth-level force value, once the fusion is completed, a larger star sea will be formed, and he will also become a commander!
In addition to the star power itself, which can be used as a means of attack and defense, there is another means of attack in this world, and that is the star order. To put it simply, using various materials, a certain power is sealed into a token, and when the cultivator needs it, the sealed thing is released as a means.
With every breath, in a short period of time, the star power passed through the meridians of the whole body like a trickle for three weeks, and finally refined into its own star power and flowed into the sea of stars.
The star power in the sea of stars gradually fullened, and the sea of stars like a white ball was constantly impacting the edges of the surrounding by the new star power, and after a few hours, this sea of stars actually faintly showed signs of expanding.
It stands to reason that with Li Chen's current state, he can completely fuse the nine star seas, but this time he feels that there is always something missing between these star seas. The sea of stars that was originally close to him automatically dispersed as soon as he had the idea of merging, and the invisible bond in the middle also disappeared without a trace.
After a long time, Lichen gradually gave up, but secretly said in his heart: "It seems that the time is not ripe for integration." ”
Carefully put on his clothes, the scar on his back several feet long was itchy because of the healing, and he couldn't help but scratch it a few times where the clothes passed.
"Qingzi, although my father said that he wouldn't let me interfere, how can I let it go. Looking at the starry sky, Lichen sighed. Thinking of Tong Qing, a young face seemed to be in front of him again.
Anyway, there is one person he must meet again, and that is Tong Lingran. For her, even if there is a lot of resentment now, it must be suppressed for the time being, she was present when he was unconscious ten days ago, although everyone has now selectively forgotten it, but he has not, some things must be found and asked clearly.
The next morning, the sun woke up as it had done before, and the dew hung on the squafs and swayed slightly from side to side with the morning breeze, and finally dripped into the grass and disappeared, and the squirrel seemed to be a little greener.
With a few bells, the market gradually comes alive again, from the main street to the mountain pass leading to the outside world, crowded with all kinds of people. The convoy and the beast team lined up in a neat line and slowly moved forward, and there was no quarrel and bargaining in the noise.
The market is located next to Tongjia Village, and all the industries in it belong to the people of Tongjia Village. In the past, Tongjia Village was just an ordinary village, even at the junction of the two empires, no one cared about it. Since the battle fifteen years ago, and with the financial support of Tong Fang Island, this bazaar was born. As the economic hub of Tongjia Village, it has brought a lot of benefits to Tongjia Village over the years.
What's more, through this popular bazaar, it has attracted a large number of people from various forces, which has also indirectly improved the overall strength of Tongjia Village.
However, the people of Tongjia Village don't seem to be very kind to seeing so many outsiders, as if only those who bring them benefits are trustworthy, if it weren't for the maintenance of Tongfang Island over the years, this bazaar would not last long.
"Come and see. Yuan Dong, who returned to the Yan Pavilion, came. Are you here to pick up someone from our village?"
"Wow, the people of Guiyan Pavilion are so angry, and they deserve to be one of the strongest forces in the Scorching Sun Empire. “
Surrounded by a group of people, several young people dressed in white brocade slowly appeared in the market, led by a person with a face like a crown of jade, tall and tall, that is, Yuan Dong in the surrounding population.
"Senior brother, how long will it take for us to get to Tong Han's house?" asked the person behind him.
Yuan Dong said: "Be more patient, Tongjia Village is isolated from here, and people from outside generally can't enter, so let's go to meet the receptionist of Tong's family first." “
"What kind of score do the people of this Tong family put up, if it weren't for the permission of the second elder, who would look up to them, the whole poor country. “
"Why did you come from so many complaints when you were told to follow me?" Yuan Dong scolded. When he said this, the person who had just spoken stuck the rest of the words in his throat. Then the men ignored the chatter of the people around them, and disappeared at the end of the street in a few corners.
