Chapter 212 The Liu Family Ancestor! [First update!]

On the Dayin River.

Since the previous abnormal change, the river channel has widened and the water is flowing faster.

There are soldiers stationed on both sides of the river, totaling more than a hundred people.

During the day, he patrolled the riverside and observed the changes in the Dragon Prison Pillar in the Yangtze River.

Every night, they would hide in a clean place, and a small group of people would patrol along the river holding large night-lighting magic lanterns.

Among these people, there were five major guards sent from the Sky Monitoring Office, the Temple Guards, and the City Defense Office.

The current plan is to rotate every three years.

They can only withdraw into the city when the new city is expanded and closer to the Dayin River.

By then, standing on the top of the city wall, you can clearly see the changes in the Dayin River, and there will be no need for a large number of soldiers to defend here.

The one who came to take up the duty today was actually the ancestor of the Liu family, one of the six major families in Gaoliu Inner City!
It is rumored that this old ancestor, who is over 110 years old, was already a top figure in the Qi Refining Realm more than 40 years ago.

Regardless of his cultivation, identity, and status, in the eyes of ordinary people in Gaoliu City, he is unattainable, like a fairy or god.

The soldiers on both sides were quite surprised and doubts arose in their hearts.

After all, the Liu family is powerful, and there are many strong people among their direct descendants.

What's more, all the six major families, without exception, have inherited treasures!

This kind of secret treasure, when held by a person in the Essence Refining Realm, can be used to fight against a person in the Qi Refining Realm!
In the past, only a few people knew about these treasures, but in the last battle at the ancient ruins, many people from the six major families and dignitaries from the outer city used the secret treasures.

Therefore, although the existence of such treasures has not been made public, it has been known to more people.

"With the Liu family's background, how could they not be able to pick someone to guard here?"

"Why did this ancestor come here in person?"

"Could it be that something unexpected is going to happen again in Dayinjiang?"

As their own lives were at stake, these soldiers were all suspicious and frightened.

After the old ancestor came here, he asked everyone to patrol along the downstream.

He was the only one in charge of the upper reaches of the Dayin River.

As the sky gradually darkened, all parties retreated to the clean area.

But only the ancestor of the Liu family still sits on the edge of the Dayin River.

Although the commander of the city defense force came, he was sent back by him.

-

In the pure land.

As the sky gradually darkened, the commander of the guards was seen returning in a hurry.

Someone immediately came forward to ask.

"Why didn't the old ancestor of the Liu family come over?"

"He said that if he were within a hundred miles of Gaoliu City, there would be many powerful demons and monsters, so he might have to be more cautious. But here, within a hundred miles, all powerful demons and monsters are afraid of the power of Lord Liu... Demons and monsters within a hundred miles are not worth his attention."

The commander couldn't help but spread his hands and said helplessly: "He is very dissatisfied and asked us whether we look down on him or Liu Zun's divine power in the world?"

"How can this be possible? He is a veteran of Gaoliu City and a mainstay of the city today!"

Another general from the city defense office frowned and said, "If we leave him alone to guard the night, who will be responsible if something goes wrong?"

The commander whispered, "Brother Zhao, don't worry too much. This ancestor is a god-like figure. He has practiced for more than a hundred years. How can you and I compare? Now that he has said this, it is difficult for us to persuade him."

"Although this ancestor has a high level of cultivation, he is old after all. We have never seen him take action. If the hero grows old, or if something changes in the river, we will not be able to bear the consequences!"

The general of the City Guard House said slowly: "You also know that whether it is the City Guard House, the various guards, the temple guards, etc., there are people from the Liu family..."

He looked outside and said, "It's good that the Liu family ancestor is fine. If something happens, even if a few beards are broken, the Liu family will definitely blame us afterwards, and the city guard office will definitely hold us accountable. We can't bear it... Isn't this just handing our lives and property to this old man to show off his strength?"

After he finished speaking, the general named Zhao tilted his head and ordered, "Bring the Great Night-Illuminating Lantern and keep a close watch on both sides of the river. If anything happens, call for help immediately."

-

On the Dayin River.

I saw an old man sitting cross-legged by the river.

There was a wooden stool under him and a fishing rod in his hand.

The fishing hook with bait has been thrown into the river.

Although he was sitting on a low stool, one could still see that the old man was tall and strong, with a strong body.

He has thick hair and beard, like a lion.

However, there was a hint of cloudiness in his eyes.

Compared with the ancestor of the Yue family, the ancestor of the Liu family seems to be more old.

"Grandfather, it's all arranged."

At this moment, a middle-aged man approached behind him, bowed and saluted, and whispered: "From now on, the fate of the Liu family will be entirely in your hands."

"The Liu family has participated in the construction of Gaoliu City for generations. My father has been listed as the eleventh generation since the re-editing of the family tree."

The old man said slowly: "But everyone in Gaoliu City, including the direct descendants of my Liu family, without exception, believes that after the construction of Gaoliu City, he is the first ancestor!"

"Back then, he explored ancient sites and obtained the method of refining the spirit. He planned for many years, but failed at the last moment."

"After his death, the Liu family became weak, and I personally took up the responsibility to maintain the family's position as one of the six major families without being squeezed out."

"Until more than sixty years ago, when the Jiejin Incident occurred, Gaoliu City began to expand its outer city. I fought for great fortune and prosperity for the Liu family."

"If you really count, the fate of the Liu family has always depended on me for the past eighty years, not just today."

The ancestor of the Liu family looked at the fishing rod in his hand, his eyes fell on the river surface, and said: "Without successors, no one can take on my responsibilities. If I die, the Liu family will fall and be divided up by all parties..."

He turned his head and said, "My choice today is only to bring forward the fate of the Liu family's collapse! But in return, it brings us greater hope for prosperity!"

If the ancestor dies, the future of the Liu family will be unpredictable.

But if the ancestor has the hope of refining Qi and becoming a god after taking this risk, then the Liu family will usher in an unprecedented prosperity!
After tonight, either you will be destroyed or become the largest family in Gaoliu City!

"Go to Canyu Mansion. If I lose, I can keep my life."

The Liu family ancestor said calmly: "As for the other clansmen, don't pay attention to them. They have their own paths."

"clear."

The head of the Liu family bowed and took out the head token from his bosom and placed it on the side. He then took out a blood-stained bag from his bosom and whispered, "Since the Liu family was passed down, the six treasures are all here."

"Is this the blood of my Liu family's great elder?"

The Liu family ancestor sighed, looked at the bag, and said, "When disaster strikes, everyone flees. You thought you could escape with the treasure and find another way to live. You killed such a short-sighted person..."

"Since Wuchang's return, the various actions of the Tiansi can predict today's changes, and people's hearts are inevitably unsettled."

The head of the Liu family sighed and said, "I can turn a blind eye, but since these six treasures are at the heart of the matter, I cannot let him go."

After he finished speaking, the patriarch bowed and knelt, saying, "May the ancestor be well and may he ascend to godhood tonight!"

"Go ahead. The Lord of Canyu Mansion and I have a good relationship. He is willing to take you in as his direct descendant. You should work well in Canyu Mansion in the future."

The Liu family patriarch said calmly: "Without my support, don't have any delusions in the future and exterminate this lineage."

He stretched out his hand, took the family head token, put it in his arms, and said: "If I can become a god, you can all return and be above all the forces in Gaoliu City. The next city guard should be your position."

The head of the Liu family knelt three times and kowtowed nine times before he stood up, mounted his horse, lit the big night-illuminating lamp, and went upstream along the river.

There was silence here.

After a while, the ancestor of the Liu family spoke.

"Why are you the only one here?"

"Wu Chang is still on the road. Perhaps because he is a fellow human, he cannot help but feel burdened. So he kills demons along the way to calm his mind."

A figure appeared on the other side of the river, his left sleeve fluttering in the wind, empty.

The person who came was the highest commander of the Tianjian Division, with a smile on his face.

Facing each other across the river, it was like old friends reminiscing about the past.

"I heard that the boy is bloodthirsty. Could it be that killing affects his state of mind?" The Liu family's ancestor said indifferently.

"He has always been kind-hearted, and killing people is an act he has no choice but to do. Who is responsible for the Liu family killing so many people?" The commander sighed.

"Do you believe this yourself?" The Liu family ancestor said with a sneer.

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. It doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. What matters is that the world believes it, and that's enough," said the commander.

"Use me as a pawn to build momentum for this kid." The Liu family ancestor said slowly: "If I refine my Qi and become a god today, you will all be pawns!"

"Then it depends on whether you have the ability, old sir." The commander drew his sword, his eyes slightly cold.

“When you were at your best, you could fight me.” The Liu family ancestor said, “With a broken arm, you have more hidden dangers. You are no match for me.”

"I am not here to kill you, nor do I intend to defeat you." The commander raised his knife and said softly, "He is still young and has not been in the Qi Refining Realm for long. Even if you defeat him, it will not be a fair victory... I am here tonight to wear you down first."

"If you consume some of my inner energy, can you let him win?" The Liu family's ancestor reached into his arms and stroked the family head's token.

"I don't know." The commander smiled and said, "However, if the old and young of my Tianshi are defeated in the end, you will be lucky."

"But you know I am a cautious person."

The Liu family ancestor said calmly: "This boy has a great reputation and wants to destroy the Liu family. I must kill him. There will be no omissions tonight."

He sighed and said, "The Liu family has built cities for generations. I have fought against robbers all my life. Now that I am old, I can only collude with robbers to protect myself. It's ridiculous."

"What are you talking about, ancestor?"

At this time, two people came over from a distance and said with a smile: "When the human race builds a city, it is inevitable to engage in intrigue and power struggles, which is disgusting. Gaoliu City should have been destroyed long ago... Now it is not too late to repent!"

"Xu Gou of the Twelve Phases of Jiejin, I heard that you were in the ancient ruins. Although you didn't get the talisman, you barely entered the Qi Refining Realm through the baptism of the rising sun and the moon. Are you here to die now?"

The commander looked upward and said, "The evil spirit you worship has also been baptized by the rising of the sun and the moon, but if you really add them together, it is not enough for me to kill with one blow..."

"Of course, although the commander had his arm cut off by the great elder, which aggravated his hidden dangers and made him nearly dead, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse after all."

The man wearing the dog-face mask turned slightly and said, "Let me introduce you. This person is from the Canyu Mansion..."

The man looked to be about fifty years old, simple and honest, and a little reserved.

"I am located in the Canyu Palace, which is under the jurisdiction of Jie Jin. It is one of the four seasons officials and is called the Autumn Official."

The man's dark face revealed a rather shy smile: "I am familiar with the six masters of the Qifeng Mansion Jiejin. The eldest master has been very kind to me... So I hope the commander can send me the head so that I can go to pay tribute to the eldest master."

"Fight somewhere else."

The Liu family ancestor raised his head slightly, looked at the river surface, and said: "It would not be good if the Great River Prison Dragon Pillar was destroyed... The commander would not want to see this scene, right?"

"It doesn't matter."

The commander asked calmly, "What do you two think?"

The Jie Jin Qiu official nodded and said, "A guest from afar should follow the host's wishes... I will take the commander's head away, but you can decide where to bury the body."

The man with the dog mask looked at the Liu family ancestor and said, "I wish you to become a god. If you kill the number one genius in Qifeng Mansion, the leader will give you another reward."

As the voice fell, three figures on the other side of the river quickly disappeared into the distance.

On both sides of the river, only the river water is rushing and the sound is stirring.

After a while, a white horse was seen galloping from the direction of Gaoliu City.

The white horse's body was covered with scales, and the moonlight shining on it made it glow silver.

The man on horseback was wearing a black robe with gold patterns from the Heavenly Supervisor, holding a long sword, and had a cold expression on his face.

"coming?"

The Liu family ancestor turned his head and said, "You have become very famous in recent days. It is really touching that Gaoliu City has such a rising star... Speaking of which, I have heard a lot about your reputation. Is tonight the first time we meet?"

"Since I was a child, I have heard that the ancestors of the six major families are over a hundred years old and have made outstanding contributions. They are the elders who built the city."

Lin Yan said calmly: "I have heard of the old gentleman's reputation for more than ten years. I have always lived under the rules set by the upper echelons of the inner city. Sometimes I am like an ant, like those refugees, and can be easily trampled to death..."

He dismounted, raised his knife, and said, "If you didn't deserve to die, we wouldn't have to meet."

"It's great to be young, full of energy and ambition. I was like that too."

The Liu family ancestor sighed, "It's a pity that I'm old."

He finished speaking, waved his hand, and then said: "The commander has led away two high-ranking officials of Jie Jin for you, but I have invited more than just Jie Jin."

"If you only rely on a knife, rushing around recklessly and recklessly, then don't even think about killing me."

"You don't even have the qualifications to stand before me."

As the voice fell, cavalrymen were already heard upstream, heading down the river.

He was wearing heavy armor, holding a spear, with a blade hanging from his waist, and looked extremely cold.
