Chapter 872: Killing the Son to Seize the Fortune
Kill the son and seize the fortune.
When they heard Wei Changtian say this, the four people from the Jiuzhen Sect couldn't help but be stunned.
They naturally knew that Huo Tianyang once had an adopted son named Han Guan, and they also knew that Han Guan had died more than two years ago.
Then, the reason why Huo Tianyang's realm soared was actually... "Sir, you mean..."
"That's right, the great opportunity that Huo Tianyang got actually originally belonged to Han Guan."
Wei Changtian did not hide anything, nodded and said calmly: "Han Guan regards him as his biological father, so he told this secret."
"But Huo Tianyang killed Han Guan and took away the opportunity."
"This is also the reason why Han Guan's death and Huo Tianyang's rise to fame were so close together."
“.”
His mouth opened slightly, his expression becoming one of extreme surprise.
The four members of the Jiuzhen Sect didn't think that Wei Changtian would make up such a story to deceive them.
So, Huo Tianyang actually got to where he is today in this way?
The number one martial artist in Daqian, the strongest person since the establishment of Jiuzhen Sect. Such a prominent figure actually relied on Shizi to get everything he has now.
Yes, there is indeed not much "righteousness, morality" on the path of cultivation. Many cultivators, especially warriors who have reached the upper three levels, may have done some acts of robbery to a greater or lesser extent.
Moreover, Han Guan is not Huo Tianyang's biological child, but his adopted son.
If you look at it this way, Huo Tianyang's actions cannot be considered "punishment from heaven and earth."
But no matter how they thought about it, such behavior still made the four people from the Jiuzhen Sect feel a chill.
"Sir, I understand now."
After a few breaths, the old man in yellow finally came back to his senses from the shock and said seriously: "I will send a message to Huo Tianyang right now."
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded and said nothing more, but just sat at the table and waited silently.
He was waiting for Huo Tianyang's reply.
After all, the secret of "killing his son to seize his fortune" is something that no one else in the world could possibly know except himself.
Oh, that mysterious person might know, or even be the mastermind behind it.
But no matter what, Huo Tianyang would definitely be surprised as to how he knew about this.
If he wanted to understand, he had to come to Linchuan. "Young Master."
Suddenly, the voice of the old man in yellow interrupted Wei Changtian's thoughts.
The former looked a little nervous, holding a piece of mother-and-child jade in his hand and approaching, and whispered: "I have sent a message, Huo Tianyang has indeed received it, but he has not replied."
"Yeah, that's fine."
Wei Changtian nodded slightly: "It happened suddenly, maybe he hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet."
"In that case, I'll leave first. If he writes back, you can come and tell me."
"Yes, don't worry, sir. I will inform you immediately when the time comes."
After responding hurriedly, the old man in yellow followed Wei Changtian all the way to the door, as if he wanted to escort the latter out of the mansion.
However, Wei Changtian waved his hand and finally glanced at the two second-grade masters who were unconscious on the ground.
"No need to send it."
"Remember to keep an eye on these two."
"Yes, Sir, take care."
“.”
Under the respectful gaze of the old man in yellow, Wei Changtian quickly pushed the door open and walked out, his back gradually disappearing at the end of the path in the courtyard.
It was not until this time that the four people from the Jiuzhen Sect dared to say what they had not dared to say before.
"Brother, how did Master Wei know such a secret thing about the leader?"
A man in black whispered, "Why do I feel something is a little strange?"
"The young master has his own abilities. What does it have to do with you?"
Glancing at the man, the old man in yellow coldly warned: "Also, remember not to mention the leader even in private in the future, lest you say something wrong in front of the young master one day."
"knew"
It can be seen that the old man in yellow is more prestigious among the four people, so the other three did not show any dissatisfaction at this time. After they responded one after another, someone asked again: "By the way, big brother, if there is really someone behind Huo Tianyang, what do you think this person wants to do?"
"He wanted to be your enemy, but the assassination yesterday was so sloppy that it was obvious that it would not succeed."
“But if he wanted to help the young master, seeing how he looks today, it doesn’t seem to be the case.”
"More importantly, this person is so powerful. If you really become his enemy in the future, then we..."
I subconsciously glanced outside the house and saw that the person who spoke had not finished speaking.
It was obvious that although he seemed to obey Wei Changtian's orders and took the puppet pill, he was not necessarily loyal to him in his heart.
The other three remained silent at this time, probably having the same idea as him.
Finally, the old man in yellow sighed softly and said helplessly:
"Well, let's take it one step at a time."
“.”
On the other side, outside the mansion.
Just as the four people from the Jiuzhen Sect were worrying about their future, the black carriage was slowly moving towards the direction of the inn.
It was noon and there were not many pedestrians on the street. The rumbling sound of the wheels rolling over the scorching sun did not attract much attention.
The carriage drove through two streets unimpeded, then turned a corner and drove into a not-so-long alley.
The sound of wheels never stopped. After about dozens of breaths, the carriage drove out from the other end of the alley and continued to gallop towards the south of the city.
At the same time, Wei Changtian was standing alone at the foot of the alley wall, having changed his clothes.
He first pretended to leave by car, then secretly got off the car and prepared to sneak back to the compound. He did this not because he did not trust the four people from Jiuzhen Sect, but because he wanted to make a surprise attack to "check" them.
He just wanted to try and find that mysterious man.
I came here in the morning, and less than two hours later I received the "Golden Hairpin Warning".
There was no doubt that the mysterious man had either been monitoring himself or the four people from the Jiuzhen Sect, otherwise there was no way he would have reacted so quickly.
Wei Changtian didn't think that he had been under surveillance for so long without realizing it.
Therefore, the mysterious man, or his men, are most likely still near the compound . Of course, these are just speculations, and I may get nothing.
But you should always try it.
“Swish!”
His figure flashed, and in just the blink of an eye, the place where Wei Changtian had just stood was empty, without a single person in sight.
Just as he was hiding his tracks and heading back towards the compound, in a teahouse not far from the compound, an old beggar in tattered clothes was drinking tea in big gulps in a place that was clearly not in line with his status.
He drank the best pre-rain Longjing tea directly from the teapot as if it were plain water, which was a bit like the crudeness of a wild boar that could not eat fine bran.
But the strange thing is that the shop assistant beside him turned a blind eye to it. He just stood there with empty eyes, like a lifeless piece of wood. "Huh?"
Suddenly, the old beggar stopped drinking tea and took out a piece of mother-and-child jade from his arms.
As the jade heated up regularly, the smile on his face became more and more obvious.
"Master Wei, can't you wait any longer?"
