Chapter 170 Barbarians, the beginning of the chaos on Feixian Island, come to my bedroom at 12:00 tonight
"I should have thought of this earlier. Even if Tan Tai Qing is not as strong as me, she would not be injured by me so easily. It turns out that this bitch is waiting here."
"She deliberately let me hurt her and leave marks, and then falsely accused me of colluding with the demons. Even if I made the truth public afterwards, she could still use this incident to incite people..."
In the dim underground palace, Helian Wen's broken hands have healed. At this moment, his face is full of hatred and anger because of various news from the outside world in the past two days.
Huangfu Hao's clone was still sitting on the high platform in the underground palace, his black robe dragging on the ground, like a cloud of mist, completely concealing his figure.
There was no sign of emotion on his face.
"You've suffered a great loss this time, and it's time for you to learn a lesson. If Tan Tai Qing can scheme against you once, she can scheme against you a second time. If we talk about scheming, you're not even worthy of carrying her shoes."
"If you want revenge, relying on brute force alone won't work now." Huangfu Hao said calmly.
"Disciple understands." Helian Wen respected Huangfu Hao very much. If Huangfu Hao had not shown up to rescue him this time, he would have found it difficult to escape from Jiang Lan's hands, and he might even be in danger of dying.
"Master, was there something strange about the last palm strike Jiang Lan gave me? Since he is hanging out with that bitch Tan Tai Qing, he must not be a good person. He will not let me go easily." Helian Wen thought of something, his eyes became much more cautious, and he asked.
Huangfu Hao said, "I have naturally thought of what you have thought of. When I brought you back, I checked your body and found nothing unusual. If Jiang Lan has a backup plan, it must be something that even I cannot detect."
"But if he has such means, then no matter how you fight him, you will not be able to defeat him."
Helian Wen was still very confident in his master, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
While he was recuperating these few days, Jiang Lan's casual palm strike would often appear in his mind. It was so huge and boundless that it filled the void, waking him up from his meditation, leaving him covered in cold sweat and still trembling.
He never thought that he would meet such a terrifying peer.
How did Jiang Lan practice? Why did he master so many incredible methods?
For the first time in his life, Helian Wen began to doubt himself.
"You already have demons in your heart. If you don't clear them away, you will never make any progress in the future. Your master originally thought that Tan Tai Qing was your biggest enemy, but who knew that it would be Jiang Lan who brought you such great oppression..." Huangfu Hao seemed to know what Helian Wen was thinking. He looked over and his tone was a little disappointed.
Helian Wen only felt a sense of depression and frustration in his heart, but he also knew that this was a fact.
"I have disappointed Master, but I will not lose my fighting spirit. Facing the deadly environment of the Demonic Abyss, I have survived. What does Jiang Lan mean to me? Sooner or later, I will defeat him with my own hands."
"And that bitch Tan Tai Qing..." Helian Wen swore in his heart with anger.
Huangfu Hao nodded and said nothing more.
The situation on Feixian Island in the past few days made him a little confused. However, since Tan Tai Qing had released the news that Helian Wen was not dead and was colluding with the demons, and the Helian family had refused to admit it, it was enough to show that... Helian Wen was not on the verge of despair and still had a chance to clear his name and turn things around.
Until this moment, the Helian family has not given up on him.
This is good news.
At this moment, a stream of light appeared in Huangfu Hao's hand, fell into Helian Wen's hand, turned into a mark, and merged into his palm.
"Hold this mark and go find your grandfather. The higher-ups of the Helian family should know whether you died in the Demonic Abyss or not. Your grandfather did not identify the handwriting on your letter. You should know what this means..." Huangfu Hao explained calmly in the puzzled eyes of Helian Wen.
"Disciple, I understand." Helian Wen was shocked and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
Even though everyone suspected him and thought that he was the one who stole the Three Saints Heart Refining Pill, there were still many people in the Helian family who believed in him.
The most important person among them is his grandfather. Although he failed in his attempt to reach the Eighth Level Tribulation Bridge Realm, his strength is still one of the best in Feixian Island.
If he has his grandfather's help, the day when he can clear his name and reveal the truth to the public will not be far away.
Soon, Helian Wen hurriedly left the underground palace. Before, he did not dare to contact anyone from the Helian family because he was not clear about the attitude of the Helian family.
Now even the master has allowed him to contact the family, which is enough to show that there is no need to worry about this issue.
Watching Helian Wen leave, Huangfu Hao secretly thought, "Why do I feel that the Tantai family really intends to tie themselves up with the Xiangguo Mansion? But considering Jiang Lintian's appetite, how much benefit will he agree to?"
"Moreover, the Freedom Ancient Talisman is about to be born, and the demons are eyeing it covetously. Feixian Island will not exist for much longer. The Gongsun Family and the Helian Family should also know about this, but why haven't they made any moves yet? Why haven't they made any preparations?"
"Or has he already found a way out in secret?"
The ancient talisman of freedom is a rare object condensed from the natural creation of the free demon, and it contains the true meaning of the demon.
If one could comprehend the profound meaning of great freedom, and even be able to peek into the mysteries of the saint's world, it would not be impossible for him to return to the peak, or even go one step further and ascend to the sainthood.
For this talisman, Huangfu Hao has been planning for many years in the depths of the Demonic Abyss. Now that the Ancient Talisman is about to be born, no accidents can be allowed to occur.
It's time for Helian Wen, this chess piece, to come in handy.
Buzz!!! The next moment, the void in the underground palace trembled slightly, and Huangfu Hao's clone flashed and quickly disappeared.
When he appeared again, he was already in the wilderness, a sparsely populated area far away from cities and towns, but some bonfires could be vaguely seen in the depths.
There are quite a few tents stationed here.
Near the tent, there were rows of stone pillars, on which hung many remains, skulls, teeth, and furs of wild animals. The stone pillars were painted with blood, with many complicated patterns and lines, emitting a bloody smell.
It is precisely because of the existence of these stone pillars that this piece of land is perfectly integrated into the surrounding environment.
Even if a person with great cultivation power flew over and used his spiritual sense to investigate, he would not be able to find these tents.
After Huangfu Hao arrived here, two tall and burly barbarians, as big as hills and with naked upper bodies, appeared. They came to greet him and brought him in. The mountains and the earth shook as they walked, just like the Titans in ancient times.
At this time, in the most luxurious and gorgeous golden-roofed tent, a barbarian wearing an embroidered gray brocade robe and with a face darker and rougher than that of humans was sitting cross-legged inside.
There were dozens of powerful barbarian warriors standing around, both men and women, with fierce auras, and many white bone rings hanging on their arms, ears, and nostrils, revealing an ancient barbaric aura.
"It seems that Your Excellency has thought it through and plans to cooperate with our clan?"
Seeing Huangfu Hao's clone coming in, the figure in brocade robe in the center of the tent slowly opened his eyes. His brown-yellow pupils were deep and full of wisdom.
Unlike other barbarians, they are full of cruelty and violence and are uncivilized.
"I have done as you requested." Huangfu Hao said lightly.
"As expected of you, you were once the Holy Son of Taiyi Sect. You are quick-witted and decisive. Lord Barbarian is right. You will cooperate with us." The barbarian smiled with very white teeth.
"Who is this barbarian you are talking about? How did he know I'm here?" There was a strange look in Huangfu Hao's eyes.
The barbarian had a look of piety in his eyes, and the other barbarians in the tent had even more fanaticism in their eyes.
"Master Barbarian is the son of the Barbarian God. He is the will of the Barbarian God to come to the world and the incarnation of the Barbarian God. Master Barbarian knows everything and can do everything. The changes in the Demon Abyss are actually part of Master Barbarian's plan. Knowing that you are here, what is the difficulty?"
"Daxia thinks that we, the barbarians, are stupid and will come here with great fanfare to destroy the seal of the Demon Abyss? No, in fact, we don't need to destroy the seal of the Demon Abyss at all. Soon, a demon god of the demon tribe will lead his subordinates to tear up the seal..." said the powerful barbarian with full reverence.
Hearing this, the strange look in Huangfu Hao's eyes became even more intense.
The so-called barbarian gods are nothing more than the spirits of powerful and heroic dead barbarians. Under certain fate, they are worshipped and believed in and are born into another dimension.
Only now that the way of immortality has declined and those with great supernatural powers have disappeared, these gods dare to stir up trouble.
In the past, when immortality was prevalent and all things came to pay homage, the gods were nothing more than slaves of some of the most powerful beings.
…
Several days have passed since Tan Tai Qing was attacked and seriously injured, and then recovered from his injuries. During these few days, all the major families have dispatched personnel to patrol, and the control over the major docks is several times more stringent than usual.
But even under such circumstances, no signs of anything related to the demons were found.
Not to mention the demons, even the monsters that were eroded by demonic energy were not seen at all.
The people of Feixian Island, which were already in a state of panic, became even more panic-stricken.
Does the fact that we haven't found any traces of the demons mean that they don't exist? No, it can only mean that the demons are hiding too well, perhaps hidden in the vast sea of people.
The injuries on Tan Tai Qing's body were personally examined by the Elders' Pavilion and could not be faked.
Unable to give a corresponding explanation, the Tan Tai family directed all their criticisms towards the He Lian family, demanding that the He Lian family hand over He Lian Wen's life lantern.
The Helian family stated that Helian Wen was a traitor to the Helian family, his life lamp had long been extinguished and placed in a furnace to be destroyed, and it was impossible to take it out.
The Tan Tai family is forcing others to do something against their will.
Because of this, tensions began to emerge between the two great families, and the friendship and marriage exchanges that had lasted for nearly ten thousand years seemed like they would be broken at any time.
The Gongsun family mediated in the middle, trying to ease the relationship between the two major families.
But not only did it not have any effect, but it made many members of the Tantai family think that this was taking sides and intentionally favoring the Helian family, which made them even more angry.
The three guardian families are the undisputed overlords of Feixian Island. Even the four royal families have no say in front of them.
Right now, the three major families are competing against each other and refusing to give in. Countless small families on Feixian Island are shaking and trembling like dead leaves in a storm.
In some places like gambling stone shops and where mineral veins intersect, bloody conflicts even broke out, and the battles were extremely brutal.
Many people felt that Feixian Island was about to fall into chaos and began to evacuate in large numbers.
"The attitude of the Helian family is more resolute than ever before. They even look like they are determined to fight to the death with my Tantai family..."
"What on earth is going on?"
Tan Tai Qing frowned, clenched her hands, and her face was full of anger.
Several young members of the Tantai family were covered in blood and were helped back by other members of the family. One of them was seriously injured, with all four of his limbs broken, and looked like he was dying.
She knew this young member of the tribe; he was the grandson of an elder in the tribe and was very much loved.
Today, a gambling stone shop of the Tantai family was surrounded by several young disciples of the Helian family. These people went to argue, but after a few words, they started fighting.
The young disciples of the Helian family were obviously well prepared, and with the instructions from the family behind them, they killed people ruthlessly.
"Sister Qing'er, you must seek justice for us. The Helian family is simply going too far."
Several young tribesmen said indignantly.
Tan Tai Qing quickly tried to comfort them, asking them to go down and rest well, and that he would seek justice for them.
"Obviously, the Helian family knew something, so they did this out of anger..."
Tan Tai Qing went to find Jiang Lan and wanted to ask him if he knew the whereabouts of Helian Wen.
Jiang Lan's answer to this was also very simple.
In the past few days, at the invitation of Tan Tai Xu, he moved out of the Prince Zhong's Mansion where he was temporarily staying and lived in the Tan Tai family's clan land.
I don’t know if it was Tan Tai Xu’s intentional arrangement, but his courtyard and Tan Tai Qing’s courtyard were even very close to each other. With their cultivation level, they could appear in each other’s courtyard with just a thought.
Of course, Jiang Lan could guess what Tan Tai Xu was thinking, but he didn't point it out, nor did he mention it on his own initiative, waiting for Tan Tai Qing to come to him to explain.
"I guessed this is the possibility. Helian Wen may have already contacted the people of the Helian family and received the support of the Helian family." Tan Tai Qing's face was gloomy, and her flawless white face could not hide the murderous intent and coldness.
As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Lan again and said in a firm tone, "You did something to Helian Wen that night, right? With your cunning and treacherous level, you must have a backup plan and would not let him go so easily."
"I was just venting my anger for you that night. You think too badly of me." Jiang Lan shook his head calmly.
"You didn't lie to me?" Tan Tai Qing stared at him, her crystal-clear pupils like gems, sparkling with rosy light.
"No." Jiang Lan still shook his head.
"You think I'm a three-year-old child..." Tan Tai Qing said angrily.
"If I had a backup plan for Helian Wen, how could Huangfu Hao not notice it? Don't you overestimate me?" Jiang Lan seemed to laugh.
Tan Tai Qing said with a burning gaze, "Others might be able to do it, but you won't. You must have a way to hide it from Huangfu Hao."
"As long as I know the whereabouts of Helian Wen, I can lead people to surround and kill him. If the Helian family continues to protect him, it will really arouse public anger, and the Gongsun family will not dare to continue to take sides."
This is the simplest and most direct solution she could think of at the moment.
That is to find out Helian Wen who is hiding in the dark.
"This is indeed a good idea." Jiang Lan nodded approvingly.
"Then tell me the whereabouts of Helian Wen..." Tan Tai Qing stared at him closely, her breath as fragrant as orchid, seeming to touch his face.
Jiang Lan asked with great interest, "So you want me to tell you this news? Isn't that too good of a thought?"
"You do know." Tan Tai Qing's tone was a little excited. In fact, she was not quite sure whether Jiang Lan had any backup plan.
But she thought about it carefully. There was definitely a reason why Jiang Lan asked Helian Wen to take a blow from him before he would let him go. As for saying that he was helping her vent her anger, she would have to be crazy to believe that.
"I do."
Jiang Lan didn't hide it this time, and still looked at her with interest.
Through the contact during this period, Tan Tai Qing already knew what kind of person he was. It was not an exaggeration to say that he would not release the eagle until he saw the rabbit.
It is absolutely impossible to expect him to help me with just a few words.
"Tonight, at 11:00 p.m., come to my bedroom..."
Tan Tai Qing took a deep breath, as if he had made a great decision.
She had actually thought about it these past few days. Her grandfather, Tan Taixu, had asked her to figure it out on her own, but what could she do? Unless she became a saint right away, she could change the family's will.
Hearing this, Jiang Lan seemed a little surprised. He smiled and said, "Okay."
"But before that, I have to teach you a technique. With your talent, you should be able to learn it quickly."
"What technique?"
Tan Tai Qing was stunned, subconsciously thinking that it was the four holy spiritual powers that she had mentioned to Jiang Lan that day, and her eyes suddenly became a little hot.
"You'll know soon..." Jiang Lan stretched out his hand and touched her forehead, and a stream of light merged into her.
"You..." Tan Tai Qing accepted this technique, but soon became furious, with an abnormal glow on his face.
"This will achieve better results." Jiang Lan said with a smile.
