It was fate that brought us together.
Although Lin Yu and his mother's best friend are about twenty years apart, this intangible fate has bound them closely together.
Moreover, at this moment, they all share a common goal: to kill Luo Wuchen and avenge their mother!
“Aunt Nan, I’ve also been looking for Luo Wuchen’s whereabouts, but he’s like a dragon, appearing and disappearing without a trace. There’s been no news of him in the martial arts world for many years. Are you sure he’ll come to this martial arts tournament?” Lin Yu couldn’t help but ask Chen Yannan.
Chen Yannan sneered and said confidently, "They will come!"
"First, you may not know the relationship between Luo Wuchen and the ancient martial arts! He, Luo Wuchen, is just a dog kept by the ancient martial arts families! His trip north this time was at the behest of those collateral branches of the ancient martial arts families! Therefore, he dared not disobey!"
"An ancient martial arts lineage?" Lin Yu frowned slightly.
Chen Yannan nodded. "Ancient martial arts families have always been aloof from worldly affairs, but some of the collateral branches within these families are ambitious and have always wanted to control the country and the world! So this time, they want to use a spokesperson to rule the northern martial arts world and then control the government!"
Lin Yu frowned. "With the strength of an ancient martial arts family, do they really need to find a spokesperson?"
Chen Yannan nodded, "This involves things from the previous era! The ancient martial arts families and the divine blood families fought endlessly, but in the end, the ancient martial arts families gave in, retreated to the south, and withdrew from the world's conflicts!"
"Both sides reached an agreement to use the Qinling Mountains and the Huai River as the boundary, and members of the ancient martial arts families are not allowed to cross the boundary! Therefore, if they want to take any action, they can only send some lackeys over. Luo Wuchen is the biggest lackey of the ancient martial arts family. This scourge betrayed your mother back then in order to gain the trust of the ancient martial arts family!"
Mentioning these past events makes Chen Yannan grit her teeth in hatred.
Lin Yu also knew about these things. After the Yun family's incident, his mother fled all the way to Yandu. She was not caught by the ancient martial arts, but was tricked by Luo Wuchen and was seriously injured. That beast deserves to be cut into a thousand pieces!
Chen Yannan snorted and continued, "Furthermore, the ancient martial arts families chose him as their spokesperson because of his cultivation level! He has already reached the pinnacle of cultivation, but he has always suppressed himself from breaking through, constantly hovering between the half-saint and quasi-saint realms. The rule set by the ancient martial arts and divine blood is that no saint-level expert is allowed to display their power in the mortal realm. If anyone dares to make a move, the other martial saints will join forces to eliminate them! Therefore, this scoundrel is the only choice to be the spokesperson for the ancient martial arts families!"
Chen Yannan said evasively, "Now that he has received assignments from the collateral branches of the ancient martial arts families, it is inevitable that he will come to the pass. As for whether he will appear at the conference, I am not sure, because his ultimate goal is not only a martial arts tournament, but also you, the leader of the martial arts alliance!"
Finally, Chen Yannan looked at Lin Yu.
"Me?" Lin Yu was slightly surprised.
Chen Yannan said, "In the entire Northern martial arts world, the only one Luo Wuchen would take notice of is probably you, the leader of the martial arts alliance. You may not even know it yourself, but at the last martial arts tournament, your actions alarmed a Saint-level old monster, and the ancient martial arts families all know about it! You are already regarded as the number one person below the Saint Realm in the Northern martial arts world, so killing you is Luo Wuchen's most important objective for this trip!"
Lin Yu was slightly surprised. "You mean Li Qingcang's master, that old guy who cultivates the Great Clumsy Technique?"
Chen Yannan nodded and said, "It's him!"
With a serious expression, she said, "Yu'er, don't underestimate this old monster. He's from the same era as the Ancient Martial Ancestor. Nobody knows how far he's gone. In the face of absolute strength, the strong can break the rules. If he comes out of seclusion and really wants to attack you, I'm afraid the Ancient Martial Arts and Divine Blood will have to turn a blind eye. After all, no one would easily offend a legendary figure!"
Lin Yu sneered, "Aunt Nan, don't worry. I don't take this old monster or Luo Wuchen seriously. If either of them dares to come, I'll kill one. If they both come, I'll kill both of them!"
Chen Yannan was slightly shocked, truly stunned by Lin Yu's domineering aura.
She shook her head with a wry smile: "Your strong-willed personality really comes from your mother..."
The two became extremely saddened when their mother, Yunlan, was mentioned.
Chen Yannan's eyes flickered, and she murmured to herself, "Yunlan, your son is so outstanding, you can rest in peace! Don't worry, in this life, I will do everything in my power to protect him!"
...
at the same time.
Thousands of miles away, on a vast ocean, on a lonely island.
The water is calm and still, the mountains and islands stand tall and majestic.
To the east of Jieshi, several ragged and disheveled men sat on rocks, picking their toes and fishing.
Taking a sip of aged wine now and then—this life is simply wonderful, something many married men dream of.
But for the four old monsters, it was just an ordinary daily routine.
For 365 days a year, I'm basically either fishing, playing chess, or fighting.
It turns out that true love is between men; a few burly men living together can still lead a vibrant and fulfilling life.
"Haha! They've taken the bait!"
An old man with a cane quickly took two steps to the shore, and with a swift motion, he pulled the fishhook up from the water and grabbed the fish in his hand.
This is a large, wild yellow croaker. It would fetch tens of thousands of yuan in a restaurant, which made Lao Guai extremely excited.
"Haha, I'm in for a treat today! I've been luring this big yellow flower for half a month, and it's finally taken the bait!" Li Guai shouted excitedly.
As the eldest of the Four Eccentrics of Jiangnan, he was the oldest. Although he was only in his fifties, he looked older than his grandmother, with a face full of wrinkles and teeth that were black as if they hadn't been brushed in days.
The others weren't much better looking either; they were terribly ugly.
It's hard to believe that this is actually the famous F4 group!
At this moment, the others were all looking longingly at the large yellow flower in Li Guai's hand.
"Damn it, Li Guai, your luck is too good! You better catch a couple more, these aren't even enough to fill a tooth gap!"
A lame man walked over; his name was Liu the Cripple, and he was the second oldest in his family.
The other two are the third brother, Wang Ermazi, and the fourth brother, Ma Daha.
They all live up to their names, but I won't go into details, lest you eat your food while I'm eating.
The eldest brother's large yellow fish caused a stir, with everyone vying for it. The fourth brother, a clever fellow, deliberately ambushed from behind and snatched the fish away.
"How dare you! I'm your boss! You've stolen my stuff, aren't you afraid of being torn to pieces?!"
The four chased and fought, creating a chaotic scene.
And just then, chirp—
A loud cry rang out.
The four old men stopped what they were doing and looked up at the horizon.
"That eagle..."
"Yes, it's Yannan! Yannan contacted us!"
The group trembled with excitement. After all these years, their goddess had finally contacted them!
