Chapter 229: Yannanbei
Yan Nanbei is the old man's confidant.
Ever since Meng Qianhan could remember, Yan Nanbei had been working under the old man.
Regardless of seniority, everyone calls this quiet and old-fashioned man Uncle Yan, except Meng Qianhan.
Yan Nanbei is also the obstacle that Meng Qianhan fears the most and wants to get rid of the most on his way to becoming the head of the family.
After Meng Zhi's parents died, Meng Qianhan used many tricks to seize power, but was blocked by Yan Nanbei.
With Yan Nanbei protecting him, the old man could not die even with his frail and sick body.
What's more, the old man also holds the other half of the power, which limits many of Meng Qianhan's methods.
Fortunately, during those years, he raised Meng Zhi into a fool. At that time, Meng Zhi trusted him wholeheartedly, and he did not allow Meng Zhi to practice Taoism.
The old man had no choice but to offer to exchange his other half of power for the opportunity to send Meng Zhi away.
Meng Zhi's talent made Meng Qianhan jealous.
Meng Qianhan was consolidating power while cultivating a body for himself to possess.
When power came into his hands, the first thing he did was to kill Yan Nanbei.
However, Yan Nanbei had already been sent out of the Meng family by the old man.
Where he went, no one knows.
Meng Qianhan then issued a hunting order in Fengyu Tower, but the matter was never resolved.
The second thing to do after taking back power is to cut off the resources given to Yantian Sect.
When blocking the resources, Meng Qianhan discovered that the old man actually had another trick up his sleeve.
He did not have the power to block the supply route of resources. He wanted to kill the old man and seize the power to block it.
The old man then proposed an attractive condition.
The Meng family's heirloom wooden box contains the secret to becoming a god.
However, the wooden box could not be opened, not even in the hands of the demon cultivator. The Demon Lord said that only the key on the old man could open it.
The old man was able to survive by fishing with the key.
What's funny is that the old man is struggling to make ends meet, yet he still puts all his energy into his useless great-grandson.
In fact, the misguided Meng Zhi was indeed brought back to the right path.
But so what? The old man and the child don’t have many years left to live anyway.
Meng Qianhan didn't care. His collusion with the evil cultivator had been in secret, and no one knew about the soul-stealing formation.
Until his death, the old man believed that what Meng Qianhan wanted was the Meng family.
Now he finally waited for Yantian Sect to make a mistake on its own initiative, and waited for this opportunity with the right time, place and people.
Yan Nanbei rushed out.
There has been no news for these years, but now that he has appeared, Meng Qianhan has to be cautious.
Meng Qianhan took the initiative and said, "Yan Nanbei, you are no longer a member of the Meng family. What do the Meng family precepts and rules have to do with you?"
Yan Nanbei did not rush to explain himself, but instead stared at Meng Qianhan's face. That glance seemed to be able to see through all the disguises under Meng Qianhan's skin.
"You can try."
Yan Nanbei spoke in a steady voice, saying only five words.
Meng Qianhan was slow to give the order.
He stared at the person in front of him, moving his gaze inch by inch.
The more peaceful Yannanbei is, the greater the price behind this family rule.
Meng Qianhan said, "How could I not know when the Meng family came up with a new family motto?"
“It wasn’t much originally, but now it’s much more.”
It was too late when he realized he had fallen into a trap.
Yan Nanbei threw the photo stone in his hand.
A golden light lit up, and one hundred family rules hovered in the air, and the one hundred and first family rule gradually appeared.
"The Meng family has always been consistent. The head of the family has unconditionally provided resources to the Yantian Sect. He gave more to the rich and less to the poor. This has been going on for generations. Anyone who violates this will be annihilated, and punished by heaven and earth."
The bond is with the sky, the deed is with the earth, and the family rules are established.
This punishment is too severe, and the person who established this family rule will also suffer heartache.
No wonder the old man was like a dying candle in his later years, coughing up blood every day and barely surviving.
Due to family rules, Meng Qianhan had to give up.
Now neither side is pleasing.
Did Yan Tianzong save the old man's life? He went to die with such licking on his face. It would have been fine if he had died, but he still had to set up a family rule to disgust him.
Meng Qianhan looked at Elder Xuan and said, "I broke into the Meng family today. The Yantian Sect must give me an explanation."
"You want an explanation from me?" Elder Xuan sneered, "You secretly restricted the cultivation of Yantian Sect disciples. What are you thinking? Give me an explanation."
"That's right."
Ye Xingzhou hid behind Elder Xuan and nodded frantically in agreement.
"Who knows what he's thinking? He's so mean to his own nephew. If you hadn't come today, we would have been bullied."
Only Ye Xingzhou himself knew how much truth there was in these words.
The veins on the back of Meng Qianhan's hand bulged as he pointed to a ruin.
"What about this? Meng Zhi demolished the Meng family."
The facts were right in front of us, but the people from Yantian Sect present were blind.
"Nonsense."
Elder Xuan refuted Meng Qianhan with the same words he had just refuted.
"The Meng family was already in ruins when I came here. Don't try to wrongly accuse Meng Zhi."
"That's right." Ye Xingzhou continued to play the supporting role, "I think he is deliberately framing me."
What a blatant defense.
Meng Qian laughed coldly, "As a servant in the mansion, don't you have eyes?"
Elder Xuan spread his hands and said, "The servants are all your people. Whatever you say is what it is."
Ye Xingzhou: "That's right."
Meng Qianhan couldn't stand it any longer, "Ye Xingzhou, shut up. I'm talking to Elder Xuan, why are you praising me?"
Ye Xingzhou turned around and complained to Elder Xuan, "Elder Xuan, look at him! I'm just a child, but the head of the family is so rude to me. If you weren't here, Meng Zhi and I would have been whipped by Feng Xiuwei."
After all, Elder Xuan only acknowledges one thing.
Meng Qianhan had ulterior motives in sealing Meng Zhi's cultivation.
If it was just a single penalty, there would be no problem, but Feng Xiuwei was still caught, and the meaning changed immediately.
The situation of both parties suddenly changed, and with Ye Xingzhou's attempt to smooth things over, Meng Qianhan became the one in the wrong.
Ye Xingzhou continued to whine, "It seems that the Meng family doesn't welcome me. I'd better go back to the clan."
Meng Zhi: "I'm leaving too."
As soon as Meng Zhi spoke, Meng Qianhan couldn't help it.
Although I know that these two people are doing this on purpose, now is the critical time when the formation needs spiritual nourishment.
Can't leave.
"Meng Zhi, your grandfather passed away just three days ago." Meng Qianhan said.
"So you knew it too." Meng Zhi raised his eyelids.
Meng Qianhan's lips were tightened into a straight line.
Damn it.
This time, Yantian Sect is interfering. Although he has three hundred Jindan cultivators, it would be a risky move to force them to stay.
Yantian Sect also has an Immortal Venerable Wujian who has one foot on the path to ascension.
Although he was in seclusion, his eldest disciple Chao Fuyun came here.
If Ling Xun called someone over, the cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage who was in charge would not be able to resist.
Meng Qianhan didn't know that Ye Xingzhou was Feng Wujian's new disciple.
He only knew that Ye Xingzhou was annoying, extremely annoying and difficult to deal with.
Getting in trouble with him is like stepping in dog shit and getting your shoes stuck.
"What do you want?" Meng Qianhan asked.
Ye Xingzhou raised his lips and smiled, "Elder Xuan felt that he was a bit too aggressive just now. To express his apology, he specially asked two monks from the Yantian Sect to stay and apologize to you together."
Elder Xuan rolled his eyes at Ye Xingzhou.
The corners of Meng Qianhan's mouth twitched.
How did this mess of words come together?
Ye Xingzhou could have said that he was worried about their safety and wanted to keep the two of them, but he refused.
You have to disgust him by giving him an insincere apology.
The steps Ye Xingzhou handed over were tattered, and Meng Qian felt cold and tired.
"Can."
