Chapter 5812: The Old Man's Deadline

Even if Yaoying was looking for it intentionally, it would be difficult to get a treasure of this level.

In addition, with the old man's current injuries, if he wanted to fully recover and reverse his life span, the number of treasures required was an astronomical number.

That's why.

Now the old man can only stay in this cave and sleep to delay his injuries, but this delay is actually just delaying time.

The old man chose to do this to help Yaoying delay time.

Because as long as the old man is still alive, the elders of the Yuan family will still be a little afraid.

After all, even if the old man is seriously injured now, as long as he still has a breath, once he takes action, the threat he causes is also extremely huge.

Chu Fengmian also saw this clearly, because even Chu Fengmian felt a little bit of danger in this old man.

Although this sense of danger is not great, it can make Chu Fengmian feel a little dangerous instinctively, which means that the old man in front of him has the ability to hurt Chu Fengmian.

You should know that with Chu Fengmian's current strength, most of the invincible masters can't even break Chu Fengmian's body. After Chu Fengmian constantly perfected the infinite law, his physical strength has reached an incredible level.

It can be said that even if Chu Fengmian stands in the same place, it is enough to make many invincible masters unable to hurt Chu Fengmian, so naturally there is no threat to Chu Fengmian.

Now this old man is seriously injured, his strength is far from the peak, but Chu Fengmian still feels a little threatened, which is enough to prove that this old man has the ability to hurt Chu Fengmian.

Such strength, among the invincible masters, has almost reached the peak limit of the invincible masters. The strength of the Immortal Realm King is just like this.

This old man in front of him is also the most powerful one among the invincible masters that Chu Fengmian has seen on the Eternal Continent.

No wonder these old men are all seriously injured now, and they can be regarded as only having their last breath left, but they still make the Yuan family so afraid that they dare not deal with the demon shadow openly.

"You're here..."

Feeling the arrival of Yaoying and Chu Fengmian, the old man's eyes slowly opened. His eyes were already cloudy, and he looked like a dying man.

If he could not speak, Chu Fengmian would have thought that he was already dead.

"Uncle Lu..."

Looking at the old man's weak appearance, Yaoying's eyes flashed with tears.

The old man in front of him was so seriously injured just to protect her, and he had to fight for her once even after being seriously injured.

This made the old man's injuries so serious that they were almost irreversible. In the face of all this, Yaoying was powerless.

"Don't cry, the end is coming. Since I promised your father to take care of you, this is what I should do."

The old man looked at Yaoying and spoke in a calm tone.

It seems that he no longer has any fear of his own death.

It should be said that in such a long time, he has prepared everything, and has no hope for himself, and has calmly accepted the fate of his impending fall.

"When I die, you will leave the Yuanying Sect. Those old guys will not let you go..."

The old man looked at Yaoying and spoke slowly. It seemed that he had exhausted all his strength to say every word, as if he was explaining his last affairs.

"Die? Since I am here, you will not die."

At this time, Chu Fengmian suddenly spoke.

He came here not to watch the old man explain Yaoying's last affairs.

Instead, he was ready to save the old man to deal with the pressure from the Yuan family.

As an outsider, Chu Fengmian could not influence the decision-making of the Yuan family, so once Yuanshi found an excuse to attack Yaoying, it would also destroy Chu Fengmian's plan.

Although Chu Fengmian was confident that he could protect Yaoying and take her away from Yuanying Sect and retreat unscathed.

But doing so would also affect Chu Fengmian's plan.

Chu Fengmian's plan is to train Yaoying to become the Son of Shadow, so that he can get the resources Chu Fengmian needs, a large amount of spiritual springs, and the last key, the Shadow Treasure, the True Swordsmanship.

To become the Son of Shadow, not only do you need to show enough qualifications and strength, but you also need to show the power behind you.

On this Eternal Continent, it is difficult to achieve the peak without the support of enough forces behind you, and this is no exception for any warrior in the Eternal Continent.

The same is true for the inside of Shadow.

So in the Shadow, if you want to achieve a very high position, you not only need to show enough strength and qualifications, but also need to have a great power behind you.

Yaoying can join the Shadow so easily, and can quickly become the branch president of the Shadow Chamber of Commerce.

In addition to the strength and qualifications shown by Yaoying, it is also related to her origin from the Yuan family and her identity as the second lady of the Yuan family.

It is even with this identity that she can be regarded as a disciple of Baihe in name, and find a backer in the Shadow.

But now if you want to compete for the position of the Son of Shadow, it is far from enough to have only one Shadow Elder as your backer.

Chu Fengmian's identity is unknown, so he cannot stand behind Yaoying to support him openly.

After all, if Chu Fengmian shows up, it will be easy for the Shadow's high-level to guess that Chu Fengmian supports Yaoying for some purpose, which will affect Yaoying's becoming the Son of Shadow.

But the Yuan family is different. Yaoying is from the Yuan family, so if the Yuan family supports Yaoying, it is natural and there is no problem.

Although Yaoying has lost power in the Yuan family, he can still mobilize some of the Yuan family's resources, which can be regarded as the support of the Yuan family behind him.

But once Yaoying leaves the Yuanying Sect, all this support will be lost, which will be a heavy blow to Yaoying's competition for the position of the Son of Shadow.

Chu Fengmian also chose to help Yaoying to resolve this trouble after learning about the situation of the Son of Shadow, instead of taking Yaoying away directly.

Chu Fengmian's goal is to make Yaoying become the Son of Shadow as soon as possible, so Chu Fengmian is ready to solve anything that may affect Chu Fengmian's plan.

The first thing to bear the brunt is the threat from the Yuan family.
