C126 Dragon Vein Secret Place
Tianshan District.
Su Family.
After Su Wen drove away, an old man with long, snow-white hair stood by his walking stick outside the window and silently listened to the sound of cars speeding away from here.
He was the current Patriarch of Su Family, also known as Su Wen's grandfather, Su Qiang.
Su Qiang was already very old. There were many wrinkles on his face. However, his eyes were bright and full of life. He did not look like someone old and dull at all. He was currently wearing a silky white shirt. He was clearly very tall, but because of his age, his waist was somewhat bent, making him appear shorter than usual.
Su Qiang's incomparably smooth Pear Wood Cane was on the glossy brown wooden floor. He stood by the window with his lips tightly pursed, looking extremely dignified. One could tell that he was a person who lived in a high position, on a normal day, he would be extremely comfortable, arrogant and proud.
"Qiang, we cannot trust the people from Shenwu Sect." Suddenly, an aged voice sounded from behind Su Qiang.
Su Qiang did not turn his head back because he already knew who the speaker was.
An old man about his age was standing behind him. If Su Wen was present, she would definitely recognize this old man. He was the old housekeeper who was highly trusted by the Su Family, Elder Xuan.
He was brimming with vigor, his back was straight, as if he was a javelin that was standing upright on the ground. If it wasn't for the wrinkles on his face that Su Qiang had, just looking at his back, he definitely wouldn't have known that he was an old man that was as old as time. Today, he dressed like a martial arts grandmaster.
In fact, in terms of position, Xuan Elder was even higher than Su Wen Bing, the future successor of Su Family.
However, before Su Wen Bing and Su Wen's father was born, he had accompanied Su Qiang by his side. All the members of Su Family knew that he and the old man were like sworn brothers, and in the Su Family, forget about how no one dared to neglect him, even if he was scolded like a dog by his own blood, they would not dare to be displeased.
The people of Su Family only knew that his status was even equivalent to that of the old man.
But other than Su Qiang, even the direct disciples of Su Family would not necessarily know that the old butler, Xuan Lao, was actually a martial arts expert.
"Ah Xuan, how come I didn't know that people from the Shenwu Sect are not to be trusted? They have always drooled over Master's things, so I also don't believe that they would let go so easily." Su Qiang sighed as he recalled his past.
In fact, he was the same as Xuan Lao. He was also a martial arts master with some fame. However, he had suffered a heavy injury in his prime and his cultivation had dropped drastically. He was no longer able to cultivate.
Ghost Hand. This nickname had spread throughout the entire Great River Region over half a century ago, but right now, his identity was only the founder of Yuzhou, an old man who had long ago passed away his honorable nickname.
When Su Qiang was young, he once learned from a martial arts guest, and Xuan Lao was a good friend he made then. In terms of seniority, Su Qiang even had to call Xuan Lao as senior brother. Other than the reason why Xuan Lao had such a high position in the Su Family due to his high level of martial arts, it was also because of this relationship.
To the current him, and even his Su Family, it could be said that Xuan Lao was an existence that protected him like a god. If not for Xuan Lao overseeing it, the threshold of Su Family would have been broken long ago.
Therefore, Su Qiang respected him from the bottom of his heart. Even if Elder Xuan was the butler of Su Family, there was no difference in their positions.
"Regarding Shenwu Sect, Master's inherited cultivation method does not require anything more. The most important thing is the key to the Dragon Vein, this is something that they have to obtain." Xuan Lao said.
The Dragon Vein Secret Grounds was one of the most mysterious forbidden grounds in their Fighter.
"However, since Shenwu Sect has sent people over to give us orders, I don't think they will be able to deal with us in the near future." Su Qiang said.
"Amongst all of Master's disciples, you are the most outstanding one, Qiang. If not for that incident … What does a mere Hall Master like you, who has received the teachings of your master, count as! " Xuan Lao sighed.
"A branch of Shenwu Sect is indeed nothing, but the Shenwu Sect is rising day by day. Their Sect Master is said to already be in the top five of the Earth Board, so his strength should not be underestimated."
"Master of Shenwu Sect is indeed talented, but it can't change the fact that they are from a small school or school. They have no history and are just like the rich people in the outside world. If Master is still alive, he could kill them with a finger." Xuan Lao snorted coldly, completely unconvinced.
"Sigh, to be bullied by a dog when a tiger falls to the ground." Su Qiang sighed.
"However, I heard that the young man called Zhou Yi is acquainted with Wen. I wonder where he came from, to actually be able to make Shenwu Sect give up on our matter." Xuan Lao was puzzled.
"Zhou Yi …" Su Qiang frowned slightly as if he was deep in thought. After a moment, he shook his head and said, "I never expected that Wen would know such a person. Evidently, he has some background, since he was able to attract Hall Master, from the Shenwu Sect, to such an extent. "
"In the southeast region of the country, forces that can resist the Shenwu Sect will not easily let them retreat. And there are only a handful of sects that are stronger than them with Shenwu Sect and steady pressure on their heads. Could it be that he is from one of those sects? " Xuan Lao guessed.
"Maybe. No matter what, we are lucky, and right now, Shenwu Sect is definitely going to deal with him with all our might, so we don't have time to bother about our side. " Su Qiang said.1
"Indeed." Xuan Lao nodded and said, "That Zhou Yi bought us some time. I have already sent someone to invite the seniors and juniors of his and he is sure that they will be here soon. As long as Elder Bai and Junior Brother Liu come, even if Shenwu Sect battles against us, we won't be afraid in the slightest. " Xuan Lao agreed with Zhou Yi.
With the death of their Master, their sect had been in chaos. The deaths of their seniors and juniors, as well as their injuries, had all faded away. However, this was still a force that could not be underestimated. It was impossible to fight against the Shenwu Sect with just the two of them, so they had all placed their hopes on the coming aid. However, there was a gap between the mountains and the rivers, and those who came to help might not even be able to come to the Yuzhou. If it wasn't for Zhou Yi, as well as facing the Shenwu Sect of a few experts from recent years, the two of them might not have been able to survive the strong assistance here.
"Yes." Su Qiang nodded his head and said: "The key to the Dragon Vein Secret Grounds is something Senior Brother had entrusted to me before his death. I absolutely cannot hand it over.
