Chapter 168 The End of the Hong Family, Seeing His Building Collapse
Five days passed in the blink of an eye.
The development of things was somewhat beyond Su Chen's expectation.
A lot has happened in these five days.
First, the master of the palace summoned the Hong family. Although it was not a secret summons, the only person summoned was the Hong family.
Then the news came out from nowhere. After verification by a certain important figure in the palace, the content of the Pure Yuan Jing widely circulated in Dafeng City was false.
However, this news was quickly overturned.
Because not long after, another completely different piece of news came out. It was also verified by a certain important figure in the palace that the contents of these Pure Yuan Sutras were true.
Finally, a disciple who defected from the Hong family claimed that he accidentally broke into a secret room and found the moon-worshiping thief trapped in it. The other party claimed that the secret book had been taken away by the Hong family.
All these points point the finger at the Hong family.
And these news have nothing to do with Su Chen.
"There are quite a few forces that want to put the Hong family to death. I just made a start, and they started to connect the dots, pushing the Hong family into the abyss step by step."
Although he did not expect this situation to occur, the overall development direction remained unchanged and coincided with him.
Now this matter is essentially not just about the secret book, but more about someone wanting to kill Hong.
"That's fine. I just take advantage of this period to sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight while improving my strength."
Su Chen glanced at the panel and saw that there were still ten units of Qi and Blood Pills left to upgrade the Pure Yuan Jing. It was estimated that it would be completed today.
Originally, Su Chen planned to upgrade the Diamond Iron Cloth Shirt, but after careful consideration, he finally chose the Pure Yuan Jing.
At present, he has not found the "Mysterious Heart Mysterious Style". Even if he improves the diamond iron shirt, the improved strength may not be very obvious.
He wasn't sure if his plan would work out.
If there is a big battle next, it means that he will face the blood-moving warrior directly.
Although improving the diamond iron shirt can increase the strength, it cannot eliminate the Yuanli attack of the Tongmai warrior.
He has seen the power of Yuanli attacks before.
Even if the Diamond Iron Shirt is upgraded to the third level, allowing him to enter the third realm of moving blood, there may not be anything he can do about it.
But Pure Yuan Jing is different.
It has been proven that Pure Yuan Jing can eliminate Yuanli attacks from Tongmai warriors.
Therefore, raising Pure Yuan Jing to the first level may improve his resistance to Yuanli attacks.
Otherwise, even if he is given the opportunity to kill the Tongmai warrior, he may not be able to seize it.
"If you can't increase the attack power, then you can increase the resistance. I just don't know how effective the first layer of pure Yuan Jing is."
Su Chen still had some worries in his heart, but it didn't last long.
Now that he had decided, he didn't waste time and spent half a day pushing forward the progress.
"Turn on simple mode."
Su Chen muttered something silently in his mind, and the panel quickly responded:
[Simple mode turned on: Breathe 200 times to practice the Pure Yuan Sutra to the first level. 】
With the completion of two hundred breaths, Su Chen could clearly feel an influx of pure energy from heaven and earth towards his body.
This energy is more powerful than the one at the beginning.
If what was pouring in before was a strand of hair, what is pouring in now is an arm.
"Ah...oh...oh..."
Su Chen was still a little worried that the influx of too much pure energy at once would overwhelm his body, but the next moment, he screamed in relief.
It lasted for a full stick of incense before the pure energy wandering in the body was exhausted.
Su Chen couldn't help but tremble a few times, then closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body.
But while the energy was flowing, he didn't feel any changes in his body.
"Strange, why is it sticky on your body?"
His body seemed to be touched by something unclean, which made him feel very uncomfortable.
Opening his eyes, Su Chen looked at the mucus on his arm and was stunned: "Could this be discharged from my body?"
Not only on the arms, but all over the body.
It's just not much, it's attached to the surface, like a layer of rice porridge, sticky.
Fortunately, there is no disgusting smell.
However, Su Chen still couldn't bear it, so he found the waiter and asked him to prepare a bucket of warm water.
After taking a bath, Su Chen felt that every pore had been unclogged a thousand times and became extremely comfortable.
Gululu.
Not long after taking a shower, Su Chen's stomach made a protest, which surprised him slightly: "I just finished ten Qi and Blood Pills half an hour ago, and now I'm hungry?"
All the changes reminded him of the Pure Yuan Jing.
The pure Yuan Jing that was promoted to the first level seemed to bring no changes to the body, but in fact, it was due to things that Su Chen didn't know about for the time being, such as mucus and hunger.
All this needs to be slowly understood by Su Chen in the days to come.
After struggling for a moment, Su Chen went downstairs and ordered a table of food.
Inside the restaurant, it was extremely lively.
They were all discussing recent events.
"Have you heard that people from the four major clans secretly approached the Hong family and asked them to share their skills?"
"What did Hong say?"
"Of course they say they don't have it anymore, but this is just a trick they use to deceive themselves. I don't believe it anyway."
"You don't know it yet, but there are forces that have secretly formed an alliance and are planning to take action against the Hong family."
"Haha, your news is out of date. I heard that the master of the palace plans to summon the four major clans to destroy the Hong clan."
"Ah...don't you know that in the past few days, men in black have attacked the Hong family every night? The Hong family has killed countless people."
"Has anyone found the secret book?"
"No, the Hong family is too cunning and hides it very deeply, but someone actually discovered that there is a secret room under Lingyun Tower."
"Doesn't that mean?"
"Shh, be gentle, I'm only telling you this, don't tell anyone else."
"Okay, let's talk quickly."
"The thing is like this..."
Su Chen: "...!"
Although these people deliberately lowered their voices, it had no impact on Su Chen, and he could still hear what was meant to be heard.
Su Chen only listened to these news for fun.
However, these news also made Su Chen realize that someone was going to attack the Hong family.
After eating and drinking, Su Chen did not return to the inn, but headed to Qingxi Town.
If someone really wanted to take action against the Hong family, it would probably be within the next few days, and Su Chen didn't want to miss out on the excitement.
Arriving at Qingxi Town, Su Chen immediately noticed the chill in the air. There were many strangers in the streets and alleys.
As the Hong family closed its gates, Qingxi Town became extremely chaotic.
As all forces gather together, conflicts will inevitably break out. Without anyone to stop them, conflicts will only increase.
Fortunately, everyone has some restraint and will not take action easily before getting the secret book.
After walking around for a few times, Su Chen couldn't find the inn. The increase in the number of people made all the inns in the town full.
Su Chen didn't care and walked towards the outside of the town. Not long after walking, he suddenly noticed something strange.
Someone is following me.
Although the other party tried his best to hide himself, Su Chen felt this way for some reason.
"Is it another change brought about by Pure Yuan Jing?"
Su Chen's five senses seemed to have been enhanced again, far beyond those of ordinary blood-moving warriors.
After confirming that someone was indeed following him, Su Chen remained the same and walked forward calmly.
When he was about to leave the town, he suddenly disappeared into the street.
"Um?"
The Moon Worshiping Thief was stunned for a moment when he saw Su Chen disappearing, as the other party seemed to have discovered him.
He had just met Su Chen, and he originally wanted to follow Su Chen in order to find out his details.
He never thought that the other party's perception was so keen. Even if he tried his best to restrain his breath, he was still noticed by the other party.
He shook his head. Since he lost track of him, forget it.
Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and was stunned. Standing in front of him was Su Chen.
Su Chen recognized the Moon Worshiping Thief, and before he could speak, the Moon Worshiping Thief said in surprise: "Haha, I saw it right, it's really you..."
The chatter is like hundreds of flies buzzing in the ears, which makes people feel upset.
"Shut up." Su Chen shouted softly, interrupting the Moon Worshiping Thief's string of words.
The moon-worshiping thief shut up obediently.
Su Chen frowned and asked, "Why are you following me?"
"Really? Haha, I just wanted to confirm if it was you, but I didn't expect that I would give you such an illusion..."
At the end of the sentence, his voice was interrupted by Su Chen's sharp gaze.
Feeling Su Chen's sharp eyes, the Moon Worshiping Thief asked sarcastically: "Were you the one who blamed the Hong family before?"
Su Chen asked back: "Did you spread the content of the secret book?"
He has read the secret book, and the content is true. He has not spread it. There is a high probability that it was spread by the Moon Worshiping Pirates.
The Moon Worshiping Thief scratched his head when he heard this and smiled. From Su Chen's words, he had already guessed the answer.
Then he said seriously: "Since you also hate the Hong family, are you interested in cooperating?"
"No need." Su Chen shook his head and refused, planning to leave.
"Hey, don't leave yet." The Moon Worshiping Thief suddenly stopped in front of Su Chen, "I can tell you a piece of news I got."
Su Chen raised his eyebrows and signaled the other party to speak.
The Moon Worshiping Thief was also unambiguous and lowered his voice and said: "As far as I know, in two days, all forces will take action against the Hong family."
Finally, I added: "It's absolutely true!"
A quarter of an hour later, the Moon Worshiping Thief brought Su Chen to the courtyard room he rented.
"Tie Kun, this is the house I rent. We will live here these two days."
The Moon Worshiping Thief learned his name from Su Chen and called him this.
He knew that Su Chen used a pseudonym, but it didn't matter, he used it too.
Su Chen nodded and stayed temporarily.
Two days flew by.
The situation in Qingxi Town is becoming more and more serious, and the restlessness can be felt through the air.
Even as night fell, the restlessness could not be suppressed.
"Let's go!"
In the yard, Su Chen and the Moon Worshiping Thief both put on their masked night clothes. They looked at each other and felt that they were inexplicably familiar with each other.
Without much verbal exchange, they nodded, and the two left the yard and rushed towards Qingxi Mountain.
"No, there are so many people!"
Before they arrived at Qingxi Mountain, the two of them saw more than a dozen men in black clothes heading to Qingxi Mountain in the same costume. The Moon Worshiping Thief was dumbfounded.
Su Chen glanced at him, and the meaning was obvious. The confidential information you obtained seems to have been widely circulated for a long time.
"This..." The Moon Worshiping Thief was speechless. He really didn't expect the situation before him.
But now was not the time to think about this, so the two speeded up.
By the time they arrived at Qingxi Mountain, they had lost count of how many men in black they had seen along the way.
"Tie Kun, this is a good thing. With so many people here, something big will definitely happen tonight."
The Moon Worshiping Thief was more optimistic and said happily.
After that, he increased his speed and hurried up the mountain.
"Look."
The two quickly entered the Xuanshui Sect and arrived near Lingyun Pavilion.
The moon-worshiping thief stopped and looked ahead.
The three elders of the Hong family stood in front of the attic of Lingyun Pavilion, surrounded by men in black.
"Hong Demin, stop struggling pointlessly. Hand over the secret book obediently and we will leave. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
One of the men in black shouted loudly, expressing everyone's thoughts.
"That's right, we just want the secrets."
"If you don't hand over the secret book, my sword will not be easy to mess with."
"Hand over the secret book!"
"..."
The shouts of the crowd gathered into a wave and shook, causing the expressions of the three elders of the Hong family to change slightly.
Even though these people were dressed in black, the three of them couldn't identify their true identities based on their eyesight.
The Yun family, the Liang family, the Luo family, the Chu family, Yingsha... and even the palace master's people.
The three of them looked at each other with bitterness on their faces. No one expected that things would develop to this point.
Now that the major forces have determined that they have secrets, no matter how they explain it, it will be in vain.
Even if they took the initiative to open Lingyun Tower, it would not help.
Hong Demin, who was well aware of the seriousness of the matter, said solemnly: "Everyone, our Hong family has never obtained the secret book from the beginning to the end. This matter is just someone else deliberately putting the blame on us. If you don't believe it, you can search it yourself. "
"So, the Hong family is unwilling to hand over the secret book?" A man in black who was killed by Shadow said sadly.
"How can we make friends without us?" Hong Deqing yelled, eager to expose the other party's hypocritical mask.
"Hand over the secret book..."
Everyone shouted again.
Seeing the shrunken appearance of the three elders of the Hong family, Bai Yue leaned forward and back in laughter.
Noticing Su Chen's gaze, the Moon Worshiping Thief said sternly: "There are four major clans, palace lords and other various forces here. Although their faces are covered, everyone actually understands it tacitly.
I have seen many people like this. On the surface, they find some high-sounding reasons and stand on the moral high ground to punish others. In fact, they are the same as the three elders of the Hong family. They are even more despicable, sinister and vicious, and they will do anything to achieve their goals. . "
Seeing that Su Chen didn't seem to believe it, Moon Worshiping Thief became a little anxious: "If you don't believe it, just watch it.
Later, the man in black will definitely threaten the Hong family and kill all the Hong family's disciples if they don't hand over. The Hong family is furious but can do nothing.
After coercion and inducement from all parties, the Hong family had to hand over the secret book, but this secret book could only be handed over orally... It should be Yun's people. At this time, they would be fooled, because the Hong family did not hand it over at all. Cheats.
Then, the Yun family announced the Hong family's conspiracy and took the lead in taking action against the Hong family.
Those who had a grudge against the Hong family didn't care about the secret book and took action one after another.
In an instant, there were flashes of swords, lightning and thunder, and roaring winds...
Finally, a man came from heaven to save the three elders of the Hong family from danger.
With one person's strength, he is invincible, overwhelming mountains and rivers, and defeating all the heroes in the world... Why are you looking at me like this? "
The theory of moon worshipers was rising, and when he saw Su Chen looking at him like he was a fool, he felt dissatisfied.
"You have read too many novels!" Su Chen said speechlessly.
He also defeated all the heroes in the world.
Please, they are here to destroy the Hong family, not to see others save the Hong family.
"Hey, how did you know? I was watching Legend of Heroes recently." The Moon Worshiping Thief scratched his head, feeling ashamed of having been exposed.
Su Chen was too lazy to pay attention to the other party and continued to cast his sights on the square.
Although what the Moon Worshiping Thief said later was very unreliable, his previous inference was very good, and things were developing in the direction he said.
Sure enough, the Hong family informed the Yun family about the secret book, and everyone turned their attention to the Yun family. The Yun family showed their domineering attitude and took action directly against the Hong family.
The war is about to break out.
The entire square became chaotic, and the sounds of various weapons clashing resounded through the sky and echoed in the night.
"Look, I just said they would fight, right?"
The moon-worshiping thief said proudly.
Su Chen did not respond, but watched silently, his eyes getting brighter and brighter.
"One, two... there are five Tongmai warriors. This time, even if the three elders of the Hong family do not die, they will be seriously injured!"
The battle was very fierce, and the Hong family came out in full force, mobilizing almost all their forces to fight against all forces.
The most eye-catching one is the battle between the three elders of the Hong family.
However, what disappointed Su Chen was that although the men in black had five meridians, they were more of a test.
The two sides have not yet reached a point of death.
"Shall we add fire to the fire?"
Su Chen looked at the Moon Worshiping Thief, and the Moon Worshiping Thief looked at Su Chen at the same time, and they both said in unison.
"good!"
Without any nonsense, the two nodded one after another and joined the battle with the other men in black.
"Ah, grandpa, save me!"
A miserable cry rang out. Hong Hu, the direct descendant of the Hong family and the future heir to the clan leader, was bleeding on the spot and was decapitated by the worshiping moon thief.
"Hu'er!"
Hong Hu was Hong Deqing's grandson and he was much loved. Now he died tragically in front of his eyes, which made Hong Deqing furious.
"I want you to die!"
Feeling Hong Deqing's monstrous murderous intent, the Moon Worshiping Pirates flashed behind the Yun's Tongmai Warrior, then escaped into the crowd and disappeared.
"Get away!"
In a rage, Hong Deqing didn't care about the other party's identity, so he took action with his killer move.
The violent offensive attacked the strong Yun clan overwhelmingly.
There was a sting.
Caught off guard, Yun's strong man was slashed, with a hint of anger in his eyes.
He just heard him yell angrily, and his moves suddenly changed. There was no longer any intention of probing, and they were replaced by extremely powerful killing moves.
The battle, with the tragic deaths of many Hong family members, became more intense and out of control.
At the end of the fight, whether it was the three elders of the Hong family or the strong men such as the Yun family, they all seemed to have lost their minds and were furious.
Click.
"ah!"
During the melee, Hong Deqing, who was under siege, was careless for a moment and was seized by the powerful Shadow Killer.
The shadows of swords in the sky were slashing like a violent storm, falling on him in an instant.
As he screamed, the skin all over his body split open, and bright red blood spurted out.
In just a split second, his body disintegrated into blood clots and scattered on the ground.
"Deqing!"
Seeing this scene, Hong Dexin screamed miserably, her eyes turned red, and she suddenly burst out with terrifying power, repelling the enemy, then dodged and jumped in front of Hong Deqing's broken corpse.
Hong Demin, who was not far away, saw his pupils trembling, exuding endless sadness, but soon his expression changed drastically and he shouted:
"careful!!"
