106: Chapter 106 Origin

Half an hour later.

Led by Xiao Haozi, Ling Feng finally arrived at a village not far from Lingyun City.

The little fellow happily said, "Big Brother, my home is in this village."

"Mm-hmm."

Hearing this, Ling Feng nodded, then directly led the little fellow towards the village.

Along the way, the little fellow greeted the villagers warmly, and the villagers also responded with great enthusiasm.

It seemed the little fellow was very popular in the village.

Soon, Ling Feng and his group arrived in front of a house that was as ordinary as could be.

At this moment, the little fellow in Ling Feng's arms kept twisting and struggling, wanting to get down from Ling Feng's embrace.

Seeing this, Ling Feng immediately put the little fellow down.

As soon as he put him down, the little fellow quickly ran towards the house in front of them, not forgetting to shout loudly, "Grandpa, Xiao Haozi is back!"

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn't help but smile helplessly, then led Ling Di to follow behind the little fellow and slowly walked into the house.

Upon entering the room, they saw a white-haired elder lying on the bed, looking extremely weak.

At the same time.

Looking at Ling Feng and Ling Di, who had suddenly entered the house, the white-haired elder on the bed couldn't help but narrow his eyes, and a powerful killing intent instantly enveloped both Ling Feng and Ling Di.

In an instant, Ling Di's figure flashed, and he stood alone in front of Ling Feng.

Before the white-haired elder could ask, Ling Feng motioned for Ling Di to step back, then slowly explained, "This elder, we have no ill intentions. We merely happened to encounter this little fellow being bullied in Lingyun City, so we offered our help. Afterwards, we heard about his solo journey to the city, and we felt a strong connection with this little fellow, so we came along to see if there's anything we can assist with."

At the same time.

The little fellow, who was next to the white-haired elder, seeing Ling Feng and the others enter, didn't wait for the white-haired elder to speak. He ran towards Ling Feng, pulled Ling Feng's hand, and said in a clear voice, "Big Brother, quickly help cure Grandpa's illness."

He then tried to pull Ling Feng towards the white-haired elder's bed.

Seeing the little fellow like this, the previously tense atmosphere instantly dissipated.

However, the white-haired elder at this moment became even weaker, presumably due to forcibly using his Cultivation just now.

Seeing this, Ling Feng looked at the white-haired elder in front of him and couldn't help but ask, "Elder, would you allow this junior to take your pulse? Perhaps this junior can alleviate your injuries."

Hearing this, the white-haired elder was well aware of his own condition, but seeing the little fellow's expectant face, he didn't want to say much, so he slowly said, "I trouble this Young Master."

Seeing the white-haired elder agree, Ling Feng immediately stepped forward, placing his right hand directly on the white-haired elder's wrist, but in his mind, he used the System to investigate him.

"System, check the attribute panel of the person in front of me."

"Okay, Host."

As the System's prompt fell, that familiar light blue panel reappeared in Ling Feng's mind.

"Name: Wang Fu."

"Identity: Steward of the Wang Family of the Central Region."

"Cultivation: Imperial Martial Realm Early Stage (severely injured, critical, poisoned by the rare Spirit Burying Plant)."

"Physique: None."

"Talent: Superior."

After reading the white-haired elder's attribute panel, Ling Feng's expression couldn't help but tighten, and he secretly sighed.

"I didn't expect this little fellow to be from a Family in the Central Region."

Then, Ling Feng withdrew his hand and stood, looking at the white-haired elder, and slowly said, "Elder, I presume you are not from the Xuantian Continent, but rather from the Central Region, that Holy Land of Cultivation that countless people yearn for."

Hearing Ling Feng's words, the white-haired elder couldn't help but stiffen, his eyes fixed on Ling Feng, full of vigilance.

Seeing this, Ling Feng smiled and explained, "Elder, there's no need to be like this. I merely guessed from your injuries. After all, someone who could be poisoned by the rare Spirit Burying Plant, which is unique to the Central Region, would certainly not be a native of a remote place like the Xuantian Continent. Moreover, you are also a Martial Artist in the Imperial Martial Realm Early Stage."

Hearing Ling Feng's explanation, the white-haired elder's face was filled with shock. He hadn't expected this young Young Master, by merely taking his pulse, to be able to deduce so much.

He's not simple.

Coming back to his senses, the white-haired elder sighed heavily, and his voice was weak as he said, "You guessed correctly. This old man is indeed from the Central Region."

"This old man's name is Wang Fu. I am the steward of the Sixth Young Lord's lineage of the Wang Family of the Central Region. The Sixth Young Lord and the Young Lord's wife led people to maintain peace and were never as harsh on their subordinates as the other Young Lords. Originally, all of our lives were very pleasant."

"However, everything changed when the Young Lord successfully underwent Physique Awakening at the age of four."

"To ensure the Young Lord's better growth and to perfectly unleash the power of his Divine Physique, the Sixth Young Lord and the Young Lord's wife, three months after the Young Lord's Awakening, left the Family with dozens of subordinates to venture into an ancient Secret Realm, seeking the legendary Nine Revolutions Blood Spirit Plant, which could maximize the power of the Divine Physique."

"The Sixth Young Lord and his group were gone for two years, and for those two years, there was no news. Everyone in the Family thought the Sixth Young Lord and his group had perished in the ancient Secret Realm."

"The Eldest Young Lord's lineage, to consolidate their position in the Family, did not hesitate to Cultivate forbidden Evil Path arts. During a full moon night, they set up a grand formation, obscuring the heavenly secrets, and forcibly used a secret art to strip the Divine Physique that originally belonged to the Young Lord, transplanting it into his own son's body and helping him with the Fusion."

Afterward, when the Young Lord was discovered, he only had a wisp of Qi left. Fortunately, the Old Ancestor of the Sixth Young Lord's lineage discovered him in time, expending dozens of Heaven-Defying Spirit Medicine to ultimately save the Young Lord's life.

Upon hearing this, although Ling Feng had already confirmed it in his heart, he still couldn't help but interrupt, "The Young Lord? It wouldn't happen to be this little fellow, would it?"

Hearing this, Wang Fu looked at the little fellow with a face full of affection and nodded.

"Presumably, many other major events happened later, right?"

"Indeed. The Old Ancestor of the Sixth Young Lord's lineage, seeing his excellent descendant being persecuted in such a way, instantly became enraged and demanded that all those involved from the Eldest Young Lord's lineage pay with their lives."

"However, the Old Ancestors of the other lineages, seeing that the matter was already settled and it was impossible to re-steal and return the Divine Physique that had already been successfully stolen—otherwise, the Divine Physique would collapse—and for the sake of the Family, the Old Ancestors of the other lineages jointly suppressed the Old Ancestor of the Sixth Young Lord's lineage in the ancestral land."
