Chapter 45: The Bloody Ghost Cry Incident (Seeking Collection and Recommendation)

  "This... how to say it, Li Huan's impression on me isn't very strong, but the aura he exudes is extremely noble. From him, I sense a domineering air that is completely different from the carefree and proud demeanor of the Kui Valley Sect. Setting aside his lifesaving favor towards Zhi'er, my first impression of him is that he's haughty yet not cold, overbearing yet polite, and can be considered a dragon among men."

  "Ah, that's right. This child is absolutely not simple. If he develops like this in the future, he will definitely become a great talent. When he succeeds and passes the test of the Ghost Valley Sect, with the guidance of those old monsters from the Holy Land of Ghost Valley, he will definitely become a leading figure in the martial arts world of this generation. However, this child also gives me a mysterious feeling, always feeling that I can't see through him, his whole body exuding an aura of eeriness!" The old man said.

  "Ah, Father, there's something I forgot to mention. I've heard Xiangzi mention the name Li Huan several times before. He seemed to be an orphan and was just an ordinary person back then. His current cultivation seems to have appeared out of thin air." Feng Qinghai suddenly said, remembering something.

  "Hmm? Out of nowhere? Hmm, not bad, his aura is quite good, but indeed gives people a sense of instability. Looks like there's something special about him!" The old man said.

  "Father, last time I heard Xiangzi come back and tell me that this Li Huan seems to have grown up with Zhang Daoyan since childhood, and Zhang Daoyan seemed to have passed away a few years ago. At that time, he didn't seem to know about Zhang Daoyan's affairs, but now he appears as the successor of the Ghost Valley Sect, it feels a bit strange." Feng Qinghai said.

  After hearing Feng Qinghai's words, the old man suddenly showed a shocked expression on his face, and immediately stood up with a surprised look, saying: "What did you say? Zhang Daoyuan passed away? How is this possible? Zhang Daoyuan was a top-notch master of the yellow rank, could it be that he really suffered from the heavenly punishment due to the Guigu Men's Yi studies? I didn't expect it, I didn't expect that Zhang Daoyuan, a genius of his generation, would pass away. No wonder there has been no news of him in the martial arts world for several years, it turns out that he passed away. As for what happened to Li Huan, we shouldn't make wild guesses about it either, it should be Zhang's arrangement. Zhang is a divine being, his wisdom is like a god, and everything must be related to him."

  "Alright, got it, Father." Feng Qinghai said.

  "Father, I plan to return to our ancestral home in a few days." Just then, Feng Qinghai's wife spoke up, her expression unwaveringly firm.

  "What! Yaping, you said you want to go back? Why do you suddenly want to go back? Has something happened?" The old man exclaimed in great shock, his expression revealing a huge astonishment. When he mentioned the clan, his expression showed a kind of reverence. Feng Qinghai on the side was also shocked and looked at his wife.

  "Dad, I won't hide it from you either, this matter is actually because of Li Huan." The woman said.

  "What! Li Huan? What does this have to do with Li Huan? Although his identity is not ordinary, it's not necessary to be like this, right?" The old man said in confusion.

  "It's him, I'm sure of it. After seeing Li Huan today, I felt that he looked too much like my brother. Didn't you guys notice? Moreover, Li Huan is also an orphan, and his age is exactly 17 years old, and he has been growing up in SH since childhood. Can't you guys think of anything?" The woman said excitedly.

  "What! Yaping, you said? You said Li Huan is the young master who went missing that year, your elder brother's own flesh and blood?" The old man exclaimed in shock after hearing this.

  "That's right, that's why I have a feeling that Li Huan is definitely Big Brother's son. So this time when I go back, I must tell Big Brother and Sister-in-law about it. They will be very happy to know. Big Brother and Sister-in-law only have one son, and after the incident seventeen years ago, Sister-in-law has been bedridden with illness. Although Big Brother seems fine on the surface, his mood is definitely affected. You should know the significance of Li Huan to our Xuan Yuan family. If Li Huan is really the child that Big Brother lost all those years ago, then his identity will also be the only heir of the Xuan Yuan family's current generation. This is very important for our Xuan Yuan family, and it has almost become a heart disease for Father and the ancestors in recent years. And since Big Brother does not plan to have any more children, the Xuan Yuan family is almost extinct!" Xuan Yuan Ya Ping said excitedly to the old man.

  The old man stood up after listening, his eyebrows tightly furrowed, pacing back and forth in the room, clearly extremely upset by Xuan Yuan Ya Ping's words.

  He knew what had happened back then, and if it weren't for his current daughter-in-law, the Feng family would have been finished long ago. Seventeen years ago, the young master and madam of the Xuan Yuan clan brought their children to SH for a vacation, but were ambushed by the powerful Nine Li tribe's masters. Not only that, they had also colluded with the island nation's ninja warriors to launch a fatal attack on the young master and his family.

  Although there were many bodyguards around at the time, and many masters, but the other side had been planning for a long time. As a result of the fierce battle between the two sides, the people on the Xuan Yuan family's side were no match, and almost all the masters were killed or injured. In the end, only a few people managed to send the young master and his wife of the Xuan Yuan family out with their lives, but despite this, the young mistress of the Xuan Yuan family was seriously injured in the end, and the child in her arms also got lost in the fight.

  When this matter was reported back to the Xuan Yuan clan, the entire Xuan Yuan clan was outraged. Under the highest decision at that time, the strong men of the Xuan Yuan clan launched a bloody revenge against the Jiuli tribe. The Jiuli witch tribe is said to be the descendants of Chi You and has always been mortal enemies with the Xuan Yuan family. With this incident, Xuan Zhong finally couldn't bear it anymore.

  At that time, it caused an extraordinary disaster in the Jianghu, and also made various forces and factions in the martial arts world shocked. At that time, the eight earth-level masters of the Xuan Yuan family, together with more than a dozen mysterious high-ranking masters, dozens of yellow-level high-ranking masters, and nearly a hundred human-level high-ranking masters, went to kill the Jiuli Wuzu. The grand formation displayed by the Xuan Yuan family made the entire Jianghu tremble with fear.

  To know that even the most top-notch sects in Jianghu would not have more than three earth-level masters sitting in town, while the Xuan Yuan family suddenly mobilized 8 of them. This instantly established the reputation of the Xuan Yuan family as the number one martial arts family in the world. The Jiuli Witch Tribe was not to be underestimated either, they knew that things had been exposed and also rose up to resist, launching a counterattack under the leadership of 9 earth-level masters. Unfortunately, the Xuan Yuan family was simply too powerful.

  In that war, the Jiuli Witch Tribe was eliminated from the land of Huaxia, at the cost of six Earth-level experts and countless Xiantian experts. Under the leadership of the remaining three Earth-level experts, they fled overseas to Southeast Asia and went into hiding. The Xuanyuan family had to stop pursuing them because they also paid a heavy price in that war: three Earth-level experts, nearly ten Mystic-level experts, and dozens of Earth-level and Human-level experts were injured, which was a blow to their vitality.

  Although it was said that the pursuit of the Jiuli Witch Clan had ceased, this matter was far from over. Next, the Xuan Yuan family launched a purge of the entire Jianghu, and almost all those related to the Jiuli clan were eliminated, leaving no grass unscathed. At that time, the power of the Jiuli clan was also very vast, and there were many more powers connected to them, so it can be imagined how many powers were implicated.

  After that incident, the overall strength of Jianghu retreated by nearly 30%. The event at that time was also called the Ghost Cry Event, which means that even ghosts would cry at the tragic scene. It can be seen from this that no one dared to mention that they were not afraid of the Xuan Yuan family again, and no one dared to provoke the Xuan Yuan family because their strength made them fearful, and they were also terrified by the way the Xuan Yuan family handled things.

  At that time, the Jiuli tribe's ambush location was chosen in SH. Originally, SH was the territory of the Feng family, and the Feng family also had to bear the wrath of the Xuan Yuan clan. However, fortunately, the young master of the Feng family had already married Xuan Yuan Ya Ping, the third daughter of the Xuan Yuan clan, before this and they already had children. Under Xuan Yuan Ya Ping's intervention, the Feng family was spared from being affected.

  After the Xuan Yuan family dealt with the Jiuli tribe, they turned their attention to the island nation. The island nation was terrified when they learned about what had happened in Huaxia and the leaders of the Yanagizawa and Miyamoto families who were involved in the action immediately committed seppuku. Unfortunately, this did not calm down the anger of the Xuan Yuan family. Under the leadership of three earth-level old ancestors, the people of the Xuan Yuan family swept across the entire island nation, resulting in nearly half of the island nation's top experts being lost. It wasn't until then that the incident finally subsided.

  "Hmm, alright, Yaping. This matter should indeed be reported to the Xuan Yuan clan. It's too important. However, this must be kept strictly confidential. If it leaks out, it might provoke some remnants from back then to seek revenge. Although the Xuan Yuan clan seemed to have eliminated them all on the surface, there are always some fish that slip through the net. Plus, the Jiuli Witch Clan has been restless, and they won't hesitate to send a master. So, this must be kept strictly confidential." The old man said seriously after thinking for a long time.

  He knew that if this matter was not handled properly, it would cause a lot of trouble. So he had to be careful and cautious, and if this matter was really handled well, it would bring great benefits to the entire Feng family, after all, the Feng family had made contributions in this matter, and the relationship between the two families would become even closer.

  "I understand, Father. I'll be careful. Also, please help me find Li Huan, just in case something unexpected happens. This matter absolutely cannot lead to any accidents. I have a feeling that Li Huan is definitely my nephew who went missing seventeen years ago. However, I don't have a way to confirm this with him first, so I can only report back to the family and wait for their decision." Xuan Yuan Ya Ping said seriously.

  "Alright, don't worry, I will. I'll report this matter to the ancestors, and they will definitely understand its importance. For Li Huan's safety and for the sake of the Wind family, the ancestors will surely take action personally. With the ancestors' intervention, you can rest assured, Ya Ping."

  "Well, with Father's words, I can rest assured!" Xuan Yuan Ya Ping said with a relieved tone after hearing that.

  "Alright, let's just leave it at that, it's getting late too, everyone go back and rest!" The old man said suddenly.
