"Eight hundred years ago, the first ancestor of the Hou family fought with the ancestor emperor in all directions, and finally encountered the equally powerful first-generation Jitian Demon Emperor. The ancestor emperor was defeated, and the first ancestor delayed, and was finally blasted into blood by the contemporary Jitian Demon Emperor. Fog, no bones left.”
Mr. Hou calmly recounted that period of history, "This is the Hou family's record of Hou Chun. The ancestors appreciated the kindness of the first ancestor and allowed the Hou family to enjoy many benefits. To this day, the Hou family relies on the first ancestor's contribution. , developed into an unparalleled powerful aristocratic class."
"But twenty years ago, the First Ancestor... suddenly appeared."
"Twenty years ago?"
When Lu Li heard this, his eyes suddenly moved.
Twenty years ago, the Holy Kingdom of Tiantian was peaceful and there seemed to be nothing worthy of praise. However, in that era, there were five extremely talented people.
Mei Wushuang, Jiang Taohua, Mu Hongxiu, Lin Wangbei, Jiang Huanjun.
These five people are none other than the previous generation of Tianjiao from the Holy Kingdom of Devouring Heaven.
Regardless of their talent or strength, they have overwhelmed a generation of geniuses, and are far inferior to even veteran powerhouses such as the Marquis.
Lu Li almost didn't need to guess, he knew that that time should be the time when his luck began to recover.
Otherwise, the qi of heaven and earth has not yet changed, and the true martial arts realm has entered a downward slope since the era of ten thousand races. How could five top geniuses be born in one go
Moreover, the timing of the return of the first ancestor of the Hou family is indeed intriguing.
Lu Li even thought of what the ancestor of the Qin family said at that time.
"Life and death have no definition."
This sentence is a sigh left by Chen Yang when he was teaching the Dharma to the aristocratic family.
Lu Li suspected that there must be some deep meaning behind this.
Maybe... it has something to do with the Two Realms River.
Just when Lu Li was thinking of this, the Marquis had already continued: "Twenty years ago, the first ancestor showed up, approached me alone, and kept asking me to do things that were inconvenient for him, or that he couldn't show up to do. "
"He asked me to search for ancient secrets and search for various ancient ruins. It should be to find something."
"Although he never mentioned it, in the past twenty years, I have made some judgments based on those clues."
Although the Marquis's voice was hoarse, it was extremely clear: "He wants to find traces of ancient warriors."
"In other words, he wants to find where the ancient warriors went!"
Hearing these words, Lu Li's heart suddenly froze.
The ancient warriors...are all in the Two Realms River!
Back when he was in the Two Realms River, Lu Li had doubted that a strong man with the strength of the ancestor of the You clan should be a nearly immortal existence even in the Zhenwu Domain.
Especially Ghost Lord, he has even gone a long way on the path of heaven and man.
How could a strong man of this level go to the land of life and death before his life span is over
In addition, there is Ling'er's father.
Even if it was just a glimpse, Lu Li still remembered how terrifying Ling'er's father's strength was.
An incarnation has the strength to kill a strong person at the Heavenly level, which means that when he is alive, he may already be a strong person at the Dao level.
Even if it doesn't reach the Grand Avenue level, it should still be not far from the Grand Avenue level.
Even he is 'dead'. If someone takes action, how strong would that person be
Moreover, the Two Realm River is the fragmented world mentioned by Little Maoqiu. It is probably created by man. Even Emperor You once said that someone was restricting the ancient warriors, so he created the Two Realm River, and even created Netherworld!
"Then have you found any traces of the ancient warriors?" Lu Li asked calmly, although his heart was filled with turmoil, but his face remained calm.
"No."
The Marquis denied: "In other words, it's not that no traces of those ancient warriors were found, but... it's impossible to find them."
Lu Li pretended to be confused and said, "Could it be that ancient warriors also hide in places like Tianwaitian?"
"Although Tianwaitian is also very ancient, it originated at the end of the Ten Thousand Races Era. In ancient times, there should have been no similar methods or ideas."
The Marquis said slowly: "Although I have not found any traces of the ancient warriors, I know where they have gone."
"oh?"
Lu Li narrowed his eyes, "Where did they go?"
"Heavens!"
Mr. Hou emphasized these two words very seriously.
It was as if I had used all my strength to spit them out!
He even struggled to lift his chin because his arms were gone.
He kept his head raised, "They... went to the heavens!"
Heavens?…
Lu Li groaned in his heart.
I am not very surprised by this answer.
After all, those ancient warriors were so powerful that they were able to overwhelm the foreign races and take back the territory that belonged to the human race. Without them, Zhenwu Domain would not be what it is today, and judging from their abilities, it is absolutely impossible for them all to go to the Liangjie River.
Even if he really went to the Liangjie River, a powerful Dao-level person like Ling'er's father would be able to travel across the heavens and go to many great worlds to continue searching for the path.
Even the huge white fox in the Palace of Life has an impression of Ling'er's father, and the phrase 'the great road is the ultimate, but there is a way forward' is still a haze in Lu Li's heart.
Even those at the Dao level are already unimaginably terrifying, but above the Dao level... how powerful are they
However, Lu Li hid this emotion very well and said softly: "Since they have gone to the heavens, it means they will not come back. Why do you, the first ancestor of the Hou family, bother to look for them?"
Hearing Lu Li's question, the Marquis was silent for a moment, and then said, "Maybe it's for inheritance, maybe it's for... life and death."
"I have seen the legends of those warriors in many ancient secrets. Although they are not complete, they are all trivial fragments, but... the secrets about ancient warriors will mention the words life and death."
"Perhaps the ancient warriors mastered the secret method of reversing life and death, or perhaps, as early as in ancient times, the strong men who embarked on the martial arts had no concept of life and death at all."
"No matter which one it is, it is extremely precious to the current Zhenwu Domain, and it is news worthy of causing a bloody storm."
Mr. Hou closed his eyes and sighed: "Between life and death, there is great terror. Strong men like Hou Chun are also trying to jump out of life and death..."
"Aside from Hou Chun, are there any other powerful people hiding in Yanzhou?"
Lu Li did not continue to dwell on this matter.
What Hou Chun wants, whether to escape life and death, or to find the inheritance of ancient warriors, does not change the current situation.
If he was really a lunatic who firmly believed that ancient warriors could defeat life and death, Lu Li would be relieved.
At least such a lunatic will only be determined about his own goals, and he will not care about anything else.
This can be seen from the fact that he did not show up during the battle that took place at night.
He doesn't care about Mr. Hou or the Hou family at all.
Returning to the Hou family, maybe he just wanted to use the power of the Hou family to do things for him.
As for the fate of the Hou family, he didn't care at all.
For such an old antique, only oneself is the most important. Thousands of years have passed, and the direct relatives of the past have long since died. Even if there is any blood relationship, it has long since become extremely weak over the years.
Lu Li had no doubt that if someone told Hou Chun now that traces of the ancient warriors could be found by slaughtering the entire Hou family, he would wipe out the entire Hou family on the spot, leaving no one behind.
"Mr. Lu, the deposit you gave me is not worth having to explain everything."
Just when Lu Li was thinking about Hou Chun, Lord Hou suddenly laughed and did not continue to answer Lu Li's question.
Obviously, the old fox was bargaining.
When Lu Li saw this, he didn't take it seriously.
Bargaining is the best, which shows that he still has a clear price tag.
Although his golden energy has been damaged a lot today, he can still withstand this loss as long as he can get the Marquis to speak.
Anyway, the golden energy was all in vain, but his powerful combat power came from the mysterious Youfu in the Consciousness Sea and the endless source of Qi.
"Master Marquis, one code is worth one code. Although the deposit is small, it is enough to protect your life. Is your life only worth a piece of news?"
However, Lu Li still did not make the Marquis too proud.
Now the two people are indeed exchanging interests, but the exchange of interests also has strong and weak points.
His life was in his own hands, and there was no reason for Lu Li to let him show off his wits in front of him.
