391: And you
Grand Elder organized his words, "Have you heard of Wenxian Mountain?"
Xu Sanyan pondered and nodded. He had once heard the Chang family Head say that Wenxian Mountain was quite mysterious, and its Cultivation Technique characteristics were unusual, with the outside world knowing very little about it.
"Something happened to Wenxian Mountain."
Xu Sanyan just wanted to punch him. He should speak quickly and not keep him in suspense.
The Grand Elder recounted, "Wenxian Mountain has three sect masters, with Daoist names Taiyin, Taiyang, and Taihe, among whom Daoist Taihe is the Senior Brother."
The Wang Family has been in Luan Yun Mountain for many years, so their understanding of Wenxian Mountain is naturally a bit more extensive.
"Not long ago, Daoist Taihe wanted to use the heavenly momentum of Mist Time to break through three barriers and ascend to Immortality, but unfortunately…"
"Failed?" Xu Sanyan asked.
"No."
"Hmm?"
Xu Sanyan's expression froze, and his tone suddenly rose, "Succeeded?"
If he succeeded, wouldn't he have achieved Immortal Ascension and become an Immortal?
The first Immortal in the world actually appeared on Wenxian Mountain!
The Grand Elder slowly shook his head, "It can't be considered a complete success. He didn't achieve Immortal Ascension, but he also didn't fail. At the very least, he wasn't blown to Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering by the Yin wind."
"Daoist Taihe passed the first barrier by leveraging Mist Time and then tried to force his way through the second barrier with the Grandmaster's blessing, but unfortunately, something went wrong in the middle, and Wenxian Mountain's Grandmaster…"
The Grand Elder paused again for a bit, "Came back to life!"
"Came back to life?"
Xu Sanyan straightened up, greatly shocked. What in the world? The Hundred Saints Secret Realm hides a bunch of old undying ones; could Luan Yun Mountain also be hiding some?
The Grand Elder continued, "It can't be considered fully alive. According to Daoist Taiyang, his Senior Brother transformed into a calamity and merged with the Grandmaster's divine statue, becoming a peeled Blood-Flesh Giant."
"A peeled Blood-Flesh Giant…"
A vivid image immediately formed in Xu Sanyan's mind. He turned his head and asked again, "What about Wenxian Mountain's Disciples…"
"They all died. Only Daoist Taiyang managed to escape with his life, barely making it to Sui Xin Temple to explain the situation before he passed away. Finally, Sui Xin Temple informed us."
Xu Sanyan secretly clicked his tongue, "How strong is this Daoist Taiyang?"
The Grand Elder said solemnly, "Not inferior to me!"
"Hiss—"
Xu Sanyan gasped. The Grand Elder is a He Dao Realm powerhouse. In other words, a He Dao Realm powerhouse could only flee for their life in front of that monster!
In that case, that Blood-Flesh monster must at least have the strength of a Sage Realm!
A Sage Realm! There isn't a single Sage Realm powerhouse in the entire Luan Yun Mountain!
No,
Xu Sanyan suddenly remembered hearing that the founder of Sui Xin Temple was still alive, and he might be a Sage Realm.
"Then us…"
Xu Sanyan already wanted to run away.
The Wang Family Head naturally had no intention of running. After all, the Wang Family's foundation was all in Luan Yun Mountain. Even if they wanted to run, where could they go?
Moreover, the Wang Family was not a soft persimmon. If that calamity truly came here, they might not be without the strength to fight!
The Wang Family Head slowly said, "Hold fast and wait for Mist Time to pass. I suspect the formation of that calamity is related to the mist."
"Yes, I also suspect the same," the Grand Elder nodded.
Perhaps it was the confluence of various factors such as the mist, Daoist Taihe, the Grandmaster's divine statue, and the Yin wind that ultimately created this calamity.
This was Luan Yun Mountain's tribulation.
Xu Sanyan suddenly remembered another thing, "Along the way, the mist has become increasingly dense, and various Ghost Beasts have emerged endlessly. Why is this?"
The Grand Elder said coldly, "It must also be inextricably linked to Wenxian Mountain!"
He was in a very bad mood. Wenxian Mountain had truly caused them immense trouble this time. The small Families dependent on them suffered heavy casualties, and the Wang Family indirectly suffered countless losses.
And it wasn't just them; the Li Family, Sui Xin Temple, and even Tai He Gate were not doing well.
The worst off were those small Families, with countless cases of Families being ransacked and exterminated.
No one expected such a situation to occur.
But Wenxian Mountain had been completely destroyed, so even if someone wanted revenge, they couldn't find a place.
"Alright, you may disperse. Everyone, please pay attention to tightening security."
"Yes."
Everyone withdrew one by one. Xu Sanyan walked towards his home when the Grand Elder suddenly spoke, "Young Master Lin, wait."
Xu Sanyan stopped, turned around, and smiled, "Grand Elder, is something the matter?"
"Haha…"
The Grand Elder stroked his beard and smiled, "Earlier, Young Master Lin saved my life, and later brought tan milk to heal my injuries. Now that my injuries have healed, I specifically came to express my gratitude."
"Grand Elder, you are too kind. It was just a small effort, not worthy of thanks."
As the two were chatting, they saw someone walking briskly towards the Family Head's study. The Grand Elder reached out and stopped them, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
The young man said anxiously, "Something bad has happened. Second Madam's Family has requested aid. Many Ghost Beasts have appeared from somewhere and are besieging the Fang Family."
Second Madam's surname was Fang.
Upon hearing this, the Grand Elder's brows furrowed, and he secretly thought, 'Trouble.' The Family Head had just announced the closure of Qianqiu City, and now such a thing had happened. Should they save them or not?
If they saved them, who should they send?
The Family Head certainly couldn't go. Although Second Madam was his wife, he was also the stabilizing force of the Wang Family. If anything unexpected happened to him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Now was a time of many troubles; he absolutely could not have anything happen to him.
But if they didn't save them, the Fang Family would likely be in imminent danger. Since they had requested aid, the situation must be extremely critical.
Moreover, with Second Madam caught in the middle, this was a difficult choice for the Family Head. Going or not going was equally inappropriate.
Xu Sanyan didn't care about any of that. The Fang Family had nothing to do with him, so he cupped his hands and bid farewell, "Grand Elder, please tend to your matters first. I shall take my leave."
"Hmm, we shall converse another day."
Xu Sanyan returned home. The courtyard was hung with red lanterns, appearing faintly in the mist, giving off a chilling sensation at first glance, as if one had stumbled into a ghostly realm.
"Oh, Master, you're back."
Spring Plum was the first to see him and quickly stepped forward to bow.
Xu Sanyan smiled and pinched her cheek. The bright red mark proved the force was not light, and Spring Plum obediently endured it, not daring to show the slightest displeasure.
"Master, the task you assigned to this servant the day before yesterday is done. Here are thirty thousand catties of meat."
Spring Plum handed over two Storage Pouches.
"Good, well done. Come to my room tonight; I'll reward you specially."
Xu Sanyan took them, casually stroking her smooth, tender hand.
"Thank you, Master…"
"Oh, Master."
"Master, you're well."
At this moment, the other people in the house also came out one after another: Wang Zixuan, Wang Mingxin, Yang Shuang'er, Xia Zhu, and a large group, chattering away, causing a headache.
Xu Sanyan frowned slightly, thinking of poisoning them all to silence them, so they wouldn't be so noisy.
"Husband has been working hard for days; he must be exhausted. This concubine will prepare water now to wash away your dust and, by the way…"
Wang Zixuan was the most cunning. As soon as he returned, she thought of monopolizing Xu Sanyan.
"By the way, what?"
"…You know."
Wang Mingxin lowered her eyes, a little embarrassed to speak.
Wang Zixuan curled her lips wildly, secretly cursing 'hussy,' then immediately smiled, "This concubine recently learned a massage technique. I think it's more relaxing than bathing. Would husband like to try it?"
Xu Sanyan held one hand in each of his and strode into the room, "Why go to such trouble? Let's all come together."
He then looked at Yang Shuang'er, Spring Plum, and Xia Zhu, "And you all too."
