Chapter 171: Round Lies

Desolate, dead and silent, no people, no trees, not even a single weed.

If there is no such thing, it can still be understood, but this is the case with this barren mountain within a radius of thousands of miles, then it is a little abnormal, is this really caused by the dwarf race?

The Xianling Continent is full of mysteries, so there are not many people studying the reason for this endless barren mountain, and no one has studied the ancient land of the Flame God, who will care about your desolate mountain range, isn't it full of food?

On this day, in the sky above the mountain range, a streamer flew from afar, but when it reached the sky above the mountain range, it stopped, revealing the figure inside, who was not Zhang Lingfeng.

At this time, Zhang Lingfeng was still with long hair and a shawl, and his whole body was restrained, looking like an ordinary person, but just because he could be in the air, it was a big mistake to regard Zhang Lingfeng as an ordinary person, wearing a dress woven of silk, which was already considered superior in Qingyan City.

Stopping above the mountain range, Zhang Lingfeng chose a place at random, but it was not the place where Zhang Yiming took Qin Chen to walk through.

It is quite simple to come to the sky above Qingyan City, it is not surprising, after hundreds of years of operation, Qingyan City naturally has some secret passages that only a few people can know, these were originally just to prevent the retreat of the original beast from attacking, but hundreds of years of peace and quiet have made these passages a place for those special groups of people to carry out some obscure matters.

Coming to the sky above Qingyan City, Zhang Lingfeng didn't say a word, released the momentum of his whole body, and flew towards Qingyan City quite arrogantly.

Under the shroud of this powerful momentum, the entire Qingyan City began to boil, and all those cultivators who had the ability to fly flew to the city wall one after another, wanting to see who it was, this was also because Zhang Lingfeng only exuded a superficial momentum, otherwise these people would not be able to fly at all.

Meanwhile. There were more than twenty figures in the city that were several times faster than ordinary people, surpassing everyone and flying towards Zhang Lingfeng.

At this time, Qin Chen, who was in the courtyard, also felt this momentum, but if he didn't fly, after feeling the strength of this momentum, after thinking a little, he judged this person's cultivation.

He was invincible, Qin Chen instantly made a judgment, this Zhang Lingfeng looked stronger than he expected, and he thought that he was just a Five Elements Tiantai Monk. I didn't expect that he was already a monk of the Tiantai of Life and Death, and it seemed that his plan had to be changed.

At this time, outside the city, the speed of a streamer was significantly faster than everyone else, and it was the first to come to Zhang Lingfeng's side, but it was the great elder of Qingyan City.

His hair was gray, his long eyebrows hung almost down to his chest, so was the beard on his chin, his face was full of wrinkles, and one eye was squinted almost invisible. No matter how you look at it, it looks like a legendary immortal.

Seeing the person in front of him, Zhang Lingfeng immediately bowed, "Great Elder." The voice was not false in any way, it was full of sincerity.

This Great Elder may not be the highest Great Elder in the past. But he is the most impartial and selfless Great Elder, since he came to power, he has not deliberately developed his own power, but has thought about Qingyan City everywhere. Especially when the Zhang family was in crisis several times, the great elders had secretly helped the Zhang family.

Not to mention anything else, just more than 200 years old. In this Qingyan City, he is an old antique, who has cultivated to the peak of the Tiantai Realm in his early 100s, but he has been stuck here and cannot advance an inch, which has to be said to be a kind of sadness.

Looking at Zhang Lingfeng in front of him, the Great Elder was not only not annoyed by his momentum, but laughed, patted Zhang Lingfeng's shoulder, and said with tears in his eyes: "It's good to come back, there is someone to succeed in Qingyan City! ”

Zhang Lingfeng smiled and shook his head, "How can the Great Elder say this, with the qualifications of the Great Elder, he will naturally be able to break through the Tiantai Realm in his lifetime, and at that time, my Qingyan City will naturally be able to restore its former glory." ”

The Great Elder looked at Zhang Lingfeng with a strange look in his eyes, but Zhang Lingfeng didn't notice it, shook his head and said: "The old man is already old, and he doesn't have enough energy to break through, the old man's lifelong wish is to watch the growth of the younger generation in Qingyan City, hoping that one of them can break through to the Nine Palace Realm, Ling Feng, you are the most optimistic about the old man, I hope not to disappoint the old man." ”

At this time, who knows the bitterness in the heart of the Great Elder, he will never forget it for the rest of his life, a hundred years ago, the Great Elder at that time called himself over, saying that he wanted to teach himself the experience of breaking through to the Nine Palaces Realm, and he went, but what was waiting for him was a nightmare.

Looking at Zhang Lingfeng in front of him, the Great Elder knew that this was the descendant of the culprit who caused him to be unable to break through, but after so many years, the Great Elder had long since stopped hating, and he had already accepted his fate.

Let everything in the past return to dust and dust to dust!

"Go back! this time, Ling Feng, if you break through to the Death Rooftop Realm, you will inevitably have a big feast. ”

Zhang Lingfeng nodded with a smile, "That's natural, I just hope that the Great Elder can come at that time, and the Humble House is really full of brilliance." ”

"You, you!" the Great Elder pointed at Zhang Lingfeng with a smile, "The old man will definitely go, I just hope you don't dislike me, a dirty old man." ”

"How so?"

The two of them were subtle in the air, and the surrounding elders did not get close, this was no longer something they could participate in, and after chatting for a while, the Great Elder rushed back, and he could say these words, it was for Zhang Lingfeng's potential in the future, otherwise the Great Elder would definitely not even show his face.

After the Great Elder left, the remaining elders stepped forward one after another to congratulate Zhang Lingfeng, they all knew that Zhang Lingfeng was very likely to be the next Great Elder, so they naturally had to take this opportunity to have a good time.

Zhang Lingfeng naturally couldn't shake his face, he could only be reserved with these people for a long time, and in the end, these people finally retreated, Zhang Lingfeng didn't say a word, turned into a streamer, and went straight to Zhang's mansion.

In the air, there were those cultivators of the Transformation Spirit Realm, and even those cultivators of the half-step Tiantai Realm, but they were just silently watching all this, their faces showing fiery expressions, and they knew that this was not something they could participate in.

flew to Qingyan City and landed directly in front of Zhang's mansion.

At this time, the appearance of the door of Zhang's mansion has already changed greatly, the red satin almost covers the door, in front of the door, two types of neatly arranged people with smiles on their faces, one row is a young and strong young man, and the other row is a beautiful girl.

On the periphery of this group of subordinates, a large number of government soldiers have already taken control of this street layer by layer. Not a single fly can fly in.

In front of the subordinates, Zhang Liang was neatly dressed, respectfully waiting for Zhang Lingfeng's return, behind Zhang Liang, there were some important old people of the Zhang family, among them, the figure of the Seven Swords Venerable was among them, still holding a kerosene lamp, wearing a subordinate costume, not conspicuous in the crowd at all. It's just that the light that often flashes in his eyes proves that this person must have something on his mind.

A figure fell from the sky, like a cannonball, bringing a whirlwind, and when it was only an inch from the ground, it suddenly stopped strangely, Zhang Lingfeng stepped on the ground with both feet, quite high-spirited.

Zhang Liang stepped forward with a smile on his face. Said respectfully: "Congratulations to my father for breaking through to the upper level of the Tiantai Realm, the Nine Palaces are promising." ”

The subordinates behind him were half-bowed, but those government soldiers were half-kneeling on the ground, and they all said in unison: "Congratulations to the family master for breaking through to the upper level of the Tiantai realm. Nine palaces are promising. The loud voice almost resounded through half of Qingyan City, making countless people look sideways.

Zhang Lingfeng laughed, walked forward, and patted Zhang Liang on the shoulder. His eyes were full of gratification, and he looked at the subordinates again, and opened his hands. Weakly, he said, "Get up!"

"Master Xie. "Again, the sound was in unison.

Looking at Zhang Liang in front of him, Zhang Lingfeng's eyes were full of relief, in the three years since he left, the entire Zhang Mansion has been taken care of in an orderly manner, how can this not make him unhappy.

"Liang'er, in the past three years, you've worked hard. I think you have put a lot of effort into this family, but it has hurt you. ”

Zhang Liang hurriedly smiled and said: "Father, this is also Liang'er's home, and it is natural for Liang'er to do this, just for fear of falling into the prestige of the Zhang family and embarrassing you, father." ”

Zhang Lingfeng patted Zhang Liang's shoulder, and Lao Huai said with relief: "Seeing Liang'er you become a big man like this, I am relieved to be a father, and I am completely relieved that the position of the head of this family is left to you as a father." "The two men looked about the same age, and the way they spoke was rather strange.

Zhang Liang was overjoyed, but his face did not change, and he said in a low voice: "Liang'er will definitely manage the Zhang Mansion well, and will definitely not fall into the prestige of the Zhang Mansion." Zhang Lingfeng didn't say anything more, just smiled.

Coming to the people who managed the important departments of the Zhang Mansion one by one, Zhang Lingfeng talked to these people one by one, he hadn't seen them for three years, these people were still alive, they were all familiar figures, after all, these were all people who had cultivated, and they would not die unless there was an accident in just three years.

Coming to the front of the Seven Swords Venerable, Zhang Lingfeng was a little puzzled, and then his face turned cold, and he scolded angrily: "Liang'er, you come over for me." ”

Zhang Liang was stunned for a moment, and then was shocked, didn't his father find something? But on the surface, his face still did not change, he bowed down to his father, and asked in a low voice, "What does your father command?"

Zhang Lingfeng looked at Zhang Liang coldly, "How many times has my father told you, Grandpa Seven Swords is the great hero of our Zhang family, but look at it, why is he dressed so plainly now, is this what the heir of the head of the family should do?" Zhang Lingfeng was watched by the Seven Swords Venerable, at that time, the Zhang family was in deep crisis several times, and it was the Seven Swords Venerable who turned the tide, Zhang Lingfeng had great respect for the Seven Swords Venerable.

When he left three years ago, the Seven Swords Venerable was almost exhausted due to a recurrence of his injuries, but at that time he was still worshipping delicious food and drink, but now, although he was curious that the Seven Swords Venerable was still alive, he was even more angry that the Seven Swords Venerable was dressed plainly.

The corners of Zhang Liang's mouth were bitter, but he didn't expect it to be the reason.

Zhang Liang himself knew what was going on, after joining forces to kill the eldest brother, after the Seven Swords Venerable returned to Zhang's Mansion, he moved away from the original small courtyard, and the food and clothing were not as good as the subordinates, the Seven Swords Venerable himself said that he was atoning for his crimes, Zhang Liang did not stop it at that time, anyway, it was just an old man who was about to die, but he didn't expect that the Seven Swords Venerable would hear it now.

Not knowing how to answer, Zhang Liang could only remain silent.

The Seven Swords Venerable suddenly spoke at this time, "Family Master, this is not Young Master Liang's fault, it is the old man himself who wants to do this. ”

In Zhang Liang's ears, this voice was not a natural sound at all, but like the sound of hell. Zhang Liang was very scared at this time, afraid that the Seven Swords Venerable would tell the things of the year, although he had already dealt with all the traces, but if he left a trace of distractions in his father's heart, it would be a big deal for him.

I didn't dare to give the Seven Swords Venerable a look, because Zhang Liang was strong enough for his father.

Zhang Lingfeng asked, "Why is this?"

The Seven Swords Venerable wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "The head of the family has just come back, and I don't know anything. Young Master Chong, who was expelled from Zhang's mansion, went out three years ago and was attacked by the original beast, and the couple unfortunately died. Decayed"

Feeling a dizziness in his head, he didn't hear the rest of the Seven Swords Venerable's words clearly, Zhang Lingfeng's mind at this time just kept echoing the word death, dead? Zhang Lingfeng still couldn't believe it, why? He had only been away for three years, why did he find out about this kind of thing? The blood in his brain surged, Zhang Lingfeng was unstable, and fell backwards.

"Father. Zhang Liang's eyes are quick. Hurriedly supported Zhang Lingfeng.

The rest of the subordinates did the same, they all supported Zhang Lingfeng, shouting the head of the family, the lord and the like.

Zhang Lingfeng pinched his brows with his right hand and said in a low voice: "I'm fine, help me in." "The spirit is long gone, and all that remains is exhaustion.

A group of people hurriedly helped Zhang Lingfeng into the mansion, and the people outside the mansion hurriedly packed up everything, and they didn't dare to say anything about rewards. Some of the newcomers asked in a low voice who Young Master Chong was, but what they got was a reprimand.

In the hall, all the subordinates retreated, leaving only Zhang Lingfeng. Zhang Liang, the three Seven Swords Venerable. Among them, Zhang Lingfeng sat on the main chair, rubbing his brows, as if he wanted to rub this memory out. However, Zhang Liang and the Seven Swords Venerable stood respectfully below, not even daring to take a breath.

Zhang Liang glanced at the Seven Swords Venerable and found that he was only with his eyes closed. I don't hear anything outside the window.

Zhang Liang was angry, but he was helpless, he wanted to poke this thing out after a while, but he didn't expect that such a thing happened, what was the intention of the Seven Swords Venerable, Zhang Liang couldn't figure it out.

After a long while, Zhang Lingfeng spoke weakly, "Liang'er, you carefully explain this matter in detail." ”

Zhang Liang immediately told all the stories he had woven without hesitation, and when it came to Zhang Chong's killing, he was inexplicably sad and kept in tears, looking like two people with excellent brothers, and others couldn't see the slightest problem. Zhang Liang has been weaving this story for three years, and he is sure that there is no loophole.

The only thing that worried him was that the Seven Swords Venerable was desperate to poke all this out, but fortunately, the Seven Swords Venerable did not do it, and Zhang Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

"So that's it, the original beast, and the original beast again. Zhang Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said. Zhang Liang is not afraid of his father's investigation, because the news he spread is like this, and three years have passed, and there are no clues, and the only thing to worry about is the two children.

The good ones don't come and the bad ones come, Zhang Lingfeng suddenly asked, "What about the two children, Yiming and Lulu?"

Zhang Liang was bitter, but he knew that he couldn't hide this matter at all, after all, his father knew about the existence of these two children, and he couldn't hide it from each other.

He immediately spoke: "Father Qiqi, since the death of my eldest brother, I have been secretly taking care of those two children, but you expelled the eldest brother in the first place, so Liang'er did not dare to take those two children back directly, and those two children have been living in the slums since then. ”

"Slums?" Zhang Lingfeng slapped the table violently, directly slapping the table into nothingness, "You actually let those two children live in the slums, how did you become an uncle?" Zhang Lingfeng pointed at Zhang Liang, eager to slap him to death with one palm.

This matter can't be hidden, after all, Zhang Lingfeng sent someone to inquire about it, and Zhang Liang immediately lied: "Father, since the eldest brother left, those people who were good friends with the eldest brother in the past immediately turned their faces and denied people, occupied the eldest brother's family property, and drove the two children out, after all, they were not recognized by their father, and I had no choice, I couldn't solve it without authorization, I could only help secretly." ”

"Then you send someone to pick up the two children Yiming and Lulu for me. ”

"Yes, Father. Zhang Liang immediately responded. Now the chance of getting the jade pendant from those two children is slim, but now that the two children have that powerful mysterious person by their side, the killer he sent out has no news, he should be dead, and he can no longer make a move, and he can no longer hide it.

It seems that I can only think of a way in the future, I am afraid that the Seven Swords Venerable will threaten me because I did not get the jade pendant, and this threat must be solved as soon as possible.

Thinking like this, Zhang Liang did not show any signs on the surface, waiting quietly.

Zhang Lingfeng said lightly, "Also, kill all the people who robbed the family property for me, and don't keep any of them." I want them to know that my Zhang family's things are not so easy to swallow. One word has decided the life and death of countless people.

"Yes, Father. Zhang Liang felt a pain in his heart, just because of this sentence, he would lose a small half of the power he had secretly cultivated, and the others were not heartbroken, the key was that Ma Fangsheng was loyal to him, and his strength was acceptable, but now, he could only be sorry for him.

Zhang Liang supported his forehead with one hand, and waved his other hand, "You all stand down!"

"Yes, Father. "Yes, my lord. ”

The two retreated, leaving only Zhang Lingfeng, who was grieving alone.

Out of the hall, Zhang Liang changed his image and looked at the Seven Swords Venerable with a hideous expression, "What did you mean by what you said just now? Do you know how much power your words have caused me to lose? If it weren't for you, I could have done this perfectly." ”

Venerable Seven Swords opened his eyes and glanced at Zhang Liang lightly, "People are getting old and about to step into the grave, so they have become sentimental, I hope Young Master Liang will forgive me." ”

But this tone, without the slightest sincerity, finished speaking, carried the kerosene lamp, and left without looking back.

Zhang Liang stood in place, gritted his teeth and looked at the Seven Swords Venerable, and scolded secretly: "Old fox." (To be continued......)
