Chapter 280: The secret treasures of the Shi clan and the treasure house of all clans. The White Wolf who got Jiang Lan out of nothing, who is he doing it for tonight?
The burly old man's body and soul were completely destroyed, and the "secret realm of time and space" he had set up also collapsed without a doubt.
Time and space were turbulent, ripples spread, and majestic mountains and cliffs were exploding. The aftermath swept in all directions like a big storm.
Then, Jiang Lan grabbed Murong Qiutang from the space-time rift and brought her back to the ancient warship.
This accident resulted in the loss of a lot of manpower, and at this moment most people are still in shock.
The incarnation of Shi Zhongtian's obsession had not yet dissipated, and he returned to the ancient warship with the pale-faced Luo Guyun, then looked at Jiang Lan, as if he had something to say to him.
Seeing this, Murong Qiutang reacted and immediately cleared the area around him and asked the rest of the people to retreat.
After all, the incident just now was indeed very complicated, and even involved a world master from outside the world. If it were to be spread out, it would easily cause panic and chaos...
Although the many powerful people from the Gou Chen Palace and the Xian Dao League did not know what had happened, they all tactfully withdrew. Murong Qiutang also ordered his men to land the ancient warship and return to the ancient star of Mantuo.
"Today's matter is in great need of your help, young master. The Shi family is grateful for your kindness."
Although Shi Zhongtian was once the patriarch of an immortal family, he was able to understand the situation after falling into such a situation. His attitude towards Jiang Lan was very respectful.
Luo Guyun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but then he shut up tactfully.
"The Shi clan is no longer here. If the old patriarch wants to express his gratitude, then he should thank Qiutang. If it weren't for her, I would never have gone against a realm master." Jiang Lan waved his hand.
After giving the order, Murong Qiutang, who had already returned, was moved again when she heard these words.
Shi Zhongtian sighed, "No matter what the reason is, you helped my grandson through this hardship. This is a fact. The Shi family owes you a favor."
Hearing this, Luo Guyun clenched his fists, then opened them weakly.
Although he was unwilling to accept and admit it, it was indeed the fact.
Jiang Lan said noncommittally, "Although you said so, I will not interfere in any of your Shi clan's affairs. You don't have to think about asking me to help your grandson protect the Dao, let him grow up, and help the Shi clan avenge. I don't have the interest or time to do so."
"Now, my grandfather is in contact with some world masters in the universe. If he finds out that I have offended the world master of the Amitabha Ancient World because of your clan, I think he will punish me in the future..."
Shi Zhongtian was stunned. He was just the incarnation of a wisp of obsession. Although he understood what happened to Luo Guyun in a short period of time, he was still not very clear about the current situation in the world.
Judging from Jiang Lan's words, his grandfather should be the strongest person in this world? He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. If this was the case, then things would be easy to handle.
In fact, Shi Zhongtian was still worried that the Lord of the Ancient Amitabha Realm would continue to send people to smuggle over in order to capture Luo Guyun and kill him all.
But the number one master in this world is Jiang Lan’s grandfather, which means that Luo Guyun’s future safety is greatly guaranteed.
"Don't worry, young master. I have been a great figure in the ancient world of Mituo for many years. Although I am dead now, only a trace of obsession remains in the world, but what I said will definitely count."
"The Lord of the Ancient Amitabha Realm designed to frame my Time Clan because he coveted the sacred object, the Heart of Time and Space, left by my Time Clan's ancestors. During the catastrophe of heaven and earth, the heavens were in turmoil, and countless worlds and time and space were shattered. My Time Clan's ancestors used this sacred object to help many tribes and sects hide in the deepest levels of time and space, avoiding the disaster, and suffered endless consequences for this."
"Now, in the ancestral temple of our clan, the holy tablet left by our ancestors has manifested. For some reason, it has been noticed by the Lord of the Amitabha Realm. He speculated that our ancestor might be trapped in a river of time somewhere in the future and unable to return."
"For so many years, our ancestors have been trying to contact us. The appearance of the Holy Tablet is a sign. The hateful Lord of the Amitabha Realm covets the Heart of Time and Space and pretends to form an alliance with our clan. On the surface, he says he wants to help our clan and help our ancestors escape from trouble, but in fact, he uses various means to deduce the whereabouts of our ancestors and deploys many means to try to seize our clan's holy objects..."
Shi Zhongtian did not hide anything, his face full of grief, anger and hatred, as he told the causes and consequences and the truth behind the destruction of the Shi clan.
The Heart of Time and Space is actually not a sacred object of the Time Clan alone, but a sacred object shared by both the Time Clan and the Space Clan.
The origin of this object is extremely mysterious. It is very likely that it came from the deepest part of chaos and was born before the universe.
It contains all the truths and secrets of time and space in the world, and can be said to be the general outline and essence of the development of time and space.
The real Sky Clan was destroyed for some reasons, and an unknown force invaded the ruins of their clan, leading to the birth of the Sky Devouring Clan.
The Time Clan and the Sky-Devouring Clan can be said to be mortal enemies.
Jiang Lan listened to this without making any comment, but just wondered how much truth there was in it.
It is impossible for an old fox like Shi Zhongtian to tell the whole truth.
"In order to fight against the catastrophe of heaven and earth and seek a chance of survival, and also to preserve the spark of hope, the ancestors of my clan and the leaders of various clans took a portion of the inherited treasures of each clan and stored them at a certain node in the endless time and space, so that they can have a chance to make a comeback in the future if they really encounter an unexpected event."
"This treasure is called the Treasure House of All Races. The key to open it is in the hands of the leaders of each race. The key held by my Shi clan is in the secret collection of my Shi clan. The Lord of the Amitabha Realm wants to capture Guo Yun in order to find the secret collection through his bloodline..."
Seeing Jiang Lan's silence, Shi Zhongtian didn't waste any words and told him an even more shocking secret.
This matter is the top secret of the Shi clan, and even his daughter does not know it.
If he resigns as the head of the family and passes the throne to someone else, he must also follow the ancestral teachings and cut out the relevant memories from his mind and erase all traces of cause and effect.
The leader of the Amitabha Realm must have realized it when he was searching for his soul fragments, otherwise it would be impossible for him not to leave behind the direct descendants of the Shi Clan.
"The secret treasure of our Time Clan was opened up by our ancestors. It was also hidden in the depths of time and space with the most supreme magical power of our Time Clan as a resource for recuperation after the catastrophe. It contains the heritage and endless wealth collected by our clan over millions of years."
"With this wealth, it is enough for an ordinary ancient family to rise rapidly in a short period of time and stand at the top of all clans."
Shi Zhongtian said this actually out of consideration for Luo Guyun. After all, if one wants to unlock the secret treasure of the Shi clan, he has to rely on the direct bloodline of the Shi clan.
If Jiang Lan wants to obtain this part of the secret treasure, or even the key to the treasure house of all races, he must ensure that Luo Guyun is not captured by the Lord of the Amitabha Realm.
"It's true that a cunning rabbit has three burrows. In order to keep the fire, they all hide so-called treasure houses and secret treasures."
Jiang Lan smiled and thought about the Star Martial Secret Vault that was about to come out. That was also the backup plan left by the ancient Star Sect to deal with the catastrophe.
At this time, Zhongtian had a lot of plans and said so much, but in the end there was no useful information.
Just tell him that if he wants to get that part of the secret treasure, he must ensure Luo Guyun's safety.
Unfortunately, he forgot one thing, that is, if the Realm Master could find the secret treasure through the blood of the Time Clan, Jiang Lan could naturally do it as well.
"According to our ancestral teachings, the location of the secret treasure cannot be told to anyone other than the next clan leader. However, the Lord of the Amitabha Realm probably already knows about this, so I went against our ancestral teachings and told you this." Shi Zhongtian said.
He believed that no one would not be moved after learning this.
The realm is poor in resources, inheritance has been cut off, and it lacks various heritages.
Any secret treasure is extremely precious and important to the current world.
When Luo Guyun and Murong Qiutang heard these words, they were actually shocked.
Luo Guyun, in particular, was eager to find the secret treasure right now and rise quickly with the resources and wealth in it. He was fed up with such a weak and dependent life.
"Even though old Patriarch Shi said all this, in the end you still need me to protect your grandson and keep him safe. When he takes the secret treasure, whether he will share it with me is still unknown. In my opinion, you are no different from the Sky-Devouring Clan members sent by the Realm Lord in getting something for nothing." Jiang Lan said lightly.
Shi Zhongtian's expression remained the same, without any unnaturalness, and he said again, "Please rest assured, sir. I will let my grandson swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. Anything in that secret treasure is up to you..."
"Haha, Master Shi, you might have forgotten something. You told me all this, and if I catch your grandson, won't that secret treasure still be mine?" Jiang Lan suddenly stared at him fiercely.
At this moment, Luo Guyun only felt a terrifying aura like a mountain pressing down on his head, enveloping him, making his face turn pale and he almost couldn't breathe.
Murong Qiutang's expression also changed slightly, and he looked a little worried.
"Since I have said this to you, I must believe in your character."
Shi Zhongtian's expression remained unchanged as he said, "Young Master has great fortune and a promising future. How could he do such a mean thing as killing people and stealing treasures just because of this secret treasure?"
At this point, he looked at Murong Qiutang again and said, "Young Master and Gu Yun's nominal mother in this world, Miss Qiutang, love each other and have a deep relationship. Even for Miss Qiutang's sake, I believe they will not embarrass Gu Yun."
"In terms of seniority, Gu Yun should also call you uncle."
When Luo Guyun heard this, his face suddenly turned purple and he felt extremely humiliated. But these words came from his own grandfather, so he couldn't refute them.
"Isn't Master Shi afraid of trusting the wrong person?" Jiang Lan smiled indifferently as if he didn't care about the flattering words.
"If I really misjudged someone, I can only admit that I was blind." Shi Zhongtian said.
Jiang Lan's mind was as clear as a mirror, and he didn't believe the old man's nonsense at all.
The reason why they are not afraid of him attacking Luo Guyun is most likely because they think he cannot have the means of that Realm Lord, and can find the secret location of the Time Clan with just Luo Guyun's bloodline.
This son of luck and he were born incompatible. Even though he saved his life today, he didn't seem to be grateful at all. Instead, he held a grudge against him.
There is no guarantee that Shi Zhongtian did not leave any other tricks on Luo Guyun besides this incarnation of obsession.
"That's all thanks to the old patriarch for his trust." Jiang Lan didn't say anything else.
Shi Zhongtian also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at Luo Guyun, saying seriously, "I will soon disappear. From now on, Guyun, you must follow the lead of this young master and stop having childish thoughts. You are the last hope of our Shi clan. You must know that the ancestor just disappeared, but never died. If the ancestor returns, with his own methods, he may be able to bring back the dead members of the Shi clan from the long river of time..."
"We can reunite and see each other again then."
"grandfather……"
Hearing this, Luo Guyun's eyes immediately filled with tears, and sadness arose in his heart.
Afterwards, Shi Zhongtian asked Luo Guyun to swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao in front of Jiang Lan about what he had just promised.
"Sir, can you give me some time to spend with my grandson?"
Finally, he looked at Jiang Lan again. A faint but bright light emerged from between his eyebrows and turned into a tiny diamond-shaped rune that condensed in the void.
"This item contains the experience and knowledge I gained when I broke through to the Supreme level, as well as my understanding of the way of time and space. Right now, I have nothing else to thank you with, so I can only give this item to you as a token of my appreciation. I hope you can accept it."
"grandfather……"
Luo Guyun was reluctant to give it up, and he didn't understand why his grandfather didn't leave such a precious thing to him, but actually planned to give it to Jiang Lan.
Jiang Lan stared at the diamond-shaped rune filled with time and space fluctuations for a moment, then smiled, reached out to take it, and said, "Old Patriarch Shi is indeed thoughtful, so I will refuse it disrespectfully."
Shi Zhongtian seemed to be truly relieved, but his face looked much more pale, as if it would disappear at any time.
Jiang Lan got the advantage, so he naturally took Murong Qiutang away tactfully, giving Shi Zhongtian and Luo Guyun a chance to be alone.
He did not secretly spy with his divine sense. After all, Shi Zhongtian was in front of a supreme being, and it was even possible that he was about to enter the realm of heaven. He was not sure that he could spy on him without being discovered.
Soon, an ancient warship slowly descended from the sky above the ancient Mantuo Star. Murong Qiutang had already contacted his clansmen and was waiting outside Gusu City to greet it.
The entire street was cleared, and the pedestrians and peddlers passing by were all stopped by the members of the Murong family, making the street seem very empty.
Many ethnic groups and forces on the ancient Mantuo star had already been alarmed. The flags of the Immortal Alliance fluttered in the sky, attracting a lot of attention.
As Jiang Lan appeared and walked out, cheers and excited voices broke out outside Gusu City.
"Great! The Young Leader of the Immortal Dao Alliance is here..."
"We are saved."
"Mantuo Ancient Star is safe now. There is no need to worry about the Yingzhao Star Region invading."
Many monks and creatures were cheering and their faces were full of excitement.
In their view, Jiang Lan is already a saint-like existence. With him in charge of the ancient Mantuo Star, there is no need to worry anymore.
All the elders and senior members of the Murong family, as well as several old ancestors of the foundation level, showed up and were waiting there to greet them, with flattering smiles on their faces.
Murong Qiutang followed closely beside Jiang Lan, with a smile of relief on her pretty face.
"Greetings to the Young Alliance Leader, and greetings to the Patriarch..."
All the elders of the Murong family bowed respectfully, not daring to be negligent in any way.
Jiang Lan just nodded slightly.
"Young leader doesn't like these red tapes, so go back to the clan first."
Murong Qiutang returned to the ancient star Mantuo and regained her previous demeanor as the Queen of Mantuo. She was dignified and cool, and her manners revealed a sense of nobility and elegance. She began to give orders.
It was equivalent to that Jiang Lan was invited to Mantuo Ancient Star by her, which naturally made her power rise.
Even the highest-ranking ancestors in the clan looked at her politely and did not dare to look down on her.
"Grandfather actually meant this..."
Luo Guyun came down after everyone had left the ancient warship. Returning to the place where he had lived for more than ten years, his emotions were completely different from before.
He suppressed his distraught mood, and thought of the few words of advice his grandfather gave him before his obsession disappeared, with a bitter and helpless look on his face.
The streets were bustling with monks and living beings. It was an unprecedented event with huge crowds of people.
Everyone was welcoming Jiang Lan's arrival, extremely excited and their eyes were full of admiration.
No one paid any attention to him. Even Murong Qiutang's eyes were always glued to Jiang Lan, never leaving him for a moment.
Feeling lonely, melancholy, and unwilling, Luo Guyun didn't know how he returned to the Murong family and his courtyard.
His most trusted confidant, Xiao Mazi, had no idea what had happened in the Gou Chen Palace, and kept whispering in his ear about how lively the ancient Mantuo Star was today.
There were countless big shots in Gusu City. Almost all the leaders of the tribes and forces rushed over after hearing the news, wanting to meet Jiang Lan. Their words were full of admiration and respect...
Luo Guyun was upset and drove him out.
The Murong family is indeed very lively today. Even lanterns are hung in the corridors. In preparation for the welcoming banquet, all kinds of fine wine and delicious food are prepared.
Luo Guyun had been locking himself in the courtyard, still distracted by his grandfather's final instructions. When the maid came to call him to the banquet, he came to his senses and followed her.
The largest courtyard of the Murong family was filled with green bamboos and willows, with a thin mist flowing gently like a veil. A banquet was held here, and it was quite lively.
When Luo Guyun arrived, he saw Murong Qiutang sitting at the same table with Jiang Lan.
She was dressed in a gorgeous dress, with a soft and slightly flushed face. She put down her slender hands that were pouring wine for him, then picked up the jade chopsticks, picked up the dishes, and fed them to Jiang Lan's mouth. Her behavior was extremely intimate.
The bigwigs from various ethnic groups and forces all came to the banquet with their wives and children.
Many of the women were beautiful, including some who were rare beauties in the world. When they saw this scene, they all showed envy.
Murong Qiutang seemed to want to show everyone her close relationship with Jiang Lan through this action.
Luo Guyun's heart tightened, then he lowered his head and sat down at a random seat.
During the incident during the day, Jiang Lan saved him because of Murong Qiutang, and also offended a realm master for this.
Which woman wouldn't be moved by this? It can be said that this incident, by some strange coincidence, brought Murong Qiutang and Jiang Lan closer together.
Luo Guyun didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that Jiang Lan was indeed good at controlling women.
Even a cold, elegant and dignified woman like Murong Qiutang threw herself into his arms.
Drinking sip after sip of wine could not quench the sorrow in his heart. Later on, Luo Guyun did not remember how much he had drunk. He only remembered that Murong Qiutang had been pouring wine and picking up food for Jiang Lan, but her eyes never fell on him in the corner.
The banquet ended after the hour of Xu. The moon was above the treetops and the dignitaries from all parties said goodbye and left one after another.
The drunken Luo Guyun did not ask the maid to help him and walked towards the courtyard alone.
However, on the way, he didn't know whether it was due to some strange coincidence or something else, or perhaps he had a lot to say to Murong Qiutang, so he headed towards the courtyard where she usually rested.
"Tsui Er, does this look good?"
But just as he arrived outside the courtyard, he heard gentle words coming from inside, which seemed to carry some of the shyness of a little girl compared to the past.
Luo Guyun shuddered all over and felt that he was much sober now.
Cui'er is Murong Qiutang's personal maid, whom he often calls sister. It is natural to say who the other voice is.
"The clan leader is beautiful, and she looks good in anything she wears. But this outfit is a little too thin. These inner garments made of shark silk are a little too revealing, revealing her skin..."
"What are you talking about, Cui Er?"
Murong Qiutang's voice sounded unusually shy, as if she was reaching out to pinch his ears.
"The clan leader usually doesn't wear these. Are you..."
"Shut up, you're so disrespectful."
"Hehe, I understand. I will help the clan leader bathe and change clothes right away. Please don't keep him waiting for too long..."
The sound gradually faded away.
Luo Guyun felt dizzy, his mouth was dry and his throat was hot.
Tonight, who is Murong Qiutang for?
