Chapter 990: Chapter 990: Soone from the Xu Family!
At the sa ti Zhou Yu and the others entered the ancestral land.
Outside Nan County, near the Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
Qi Denian was pacing constantly in his study within the Qi Family, his face full of anxiety.
Because Xu Pingchang had gone to the dicine King Valley, it had been over a week now.
In theory, Xu Pingchang, taking three high-level Saint Realm Complete practitioners, should be able to take over a small dicine King Valley effortlessly, so why had they been gone this long without any news?
Qi Denian had an ominous feeling.
Just at this mont.
Boom!
A loud explosion ca from the gate.
Qi Denian was lost in thought, and upon hearing this bang, he instinctively shuddered, then rushed out angrily.
“What happened?”
However, as soon as he exited the study, he saw two shadows flying towards him.
Instinctively, he punched forward.
Only after two screams did he realize these two shadows were actually two protectors of the Qi Family.
At this mont, these two protectors were already dead.
Qi Denian’s face was gloomy, full of rage as he looked up, only to see a middle-aged man with graying hair approaching.
Although this man did not emit any aura, at the sight of him, Qi Denian’s breath stilled, and his hairs stood on end.
It must be known that Qi Denian himself was already a high-level Late Saint Realm practitioner.
Yet, facing this man, he couldn’t help but tremble inside.
This made Qi Denian realize imdiately that this man was an exceptional master, his power perhaps far surpassing the Great Perfection stage of the Saint Realm.
Thinking of this, cold sweat seeped from Qi Denian as he forced himself to ask.
“Might I ask… who you are?”
The middle-aged man with graying hair answered indifferently:
“Are you the head of the Qi Family?”
Though this man’s tone was calm, it induced an indescribable pressure on Qi Denian.
He nodded hesitantly.
“Yes, I am.”
“I am Qi Denian, the Family Head of the Qi Family.”
The man with graying hair looked at him indifferently, then leisurely walked to Qi Denian’s desk and sat down unceremoniously.
“I am Li Defu from the Kyoto Xu Family.”
Upon hearing the na Li Defu, Qi Denian was initially stunned, then his body trembled violently, his eyes showing disbelief.
“Are you… the one known as Elder Fu beside the Xu Family patriarch?”
Li Defu raised his eyebrows slightly.
“You know ?”
Qi Denian hurriedly bowed and said:
“I… I had the privilege of seeing you from afar at the Xu Family previously, alongside the patriarch.”
In fact, he not only saw him but also had so understanding of this man’s identity.
This Elder Fu was a top master of the ‘Marquis’ level within the Kyoto Xu Family.
Anyone of the ‘Marquis’ level in the Xu Family was the top existence within the Saint Realm.
Many among them even voluntarily gave up the chance to advance to the King Realm, choosing to remain at the Saint Realm level.
Their existence and numbers serve as a primary asure of a top family’s strength.
These individuals generally never appear.
Once they do, it signifies a major event has occurred.
Thinking of this, Qi Denian grew increasingly fearful.
At this mont, Li Defu spoke again.
“Do you know why I ca to find you?”
Qi Denian hastily replied:
“It should be concerning Young Master Xu.”
Li Defu asked coldly:
“You know that, then where is Pingchang?”
Qi Denian dared not conceal anything in the slightest and quickly answered:
“A week ago, Young Master Xu went to dicine King Valley with three subordinates, saying he aid to subdue the Valley, but until now, he hasn’t returned.”
“I am also very worried about Young Master Xu and am planning to send soone to find him.”
Hearing this, Li Defu replied with an icy expression:
“A re dicine King Village, having only one Saint Realm Complete practitioner, the rest are rely Late or Mid Saint Realm people. How could Pingchang, with three Saint Realm Complete masters, encounter any accident?”
At this point, Li Defu’s tone suddenly shifted.
“Could it be that you did sothing intentionally behind the scenes?”
This outburst nearly scared Qi Denian into collapsing on the ground.
Cold sweat poured down his body, his legs trembled uncontrollably, but ultimately, he forced himself to suppress his fear, tremblingly saying:
“Elder Fu, my words are true, not a single word is false.”
“I honestly have no knowledge of this matter. I beg Elder Fu to discern carefully.”
Seeing Qi Denian’s reaction, a cold glint flashed in Li Defu’s eyes.
He could tell Qi Denian wasn’t lying.
Thus, it seed Xu Pingchang really encountered trouble in dicine King Valley.
Thinking of this, Li Defu stood up.
“Since that’s the case, I must go and see what is amiss in dicine King Valley.”
After leaving these words, the next mont, Li Defu’s figure turned into a blurry shadow and instantly vanished from the study.
By the ti Qi Denian looked up, Li Defu, who had stood before him, was already gone.
Seeing this, Qi Denian’s fear intensified, yet his tense nerves finally eased sowhat.
This old monster had finally left.
Thankfully, Li Defu didn’t vent his anger on him, otherwise…
Qi Denian dared not imagine what consequences might have ensued.
