Chapter 87 Aftermath

He walked out of the ward.

Several people were waiting outside the corridor, all dressed in dark, close-fitting clothes, with restrained auras and tall statures. Some of them had bandages on their bodies or arms.

These are the skin-grinding martial artists of the Hu clan.

At that moment, they heard the news that Hu Zhenkui had woken up.

I came here specifically.

I heard a noise.

Their gazes swept over Hu Long and the door that had just closed.

Their brows furrowed slightly, but no one said anything.

Hu Long's gaze passed over the group and landed on a tall, fair-skinned, familiar figure beside him.

This person was none other than Hu Li.

"Sister Li."

Hu Long approached, his voice not loud, but enough to bring her back to her senses.

Hu Li looked up and, upon seeing that it was him, a hint of surprise flashed across her eyes.

Hu Li was no stranger to Hu Long.

The impression was quite deep.

Not only was the other party the most qualified member of the clan in recent years, but it was also because of the gift he had given her last time.

However, she couldn't understand why the clan leader would call Hu Long in at this time.

Logically speaking, given the other party's strength and qualifications, it's unlikely they would be summoned at this time.

The only possibility is that it's due to a lack of qualifications.

She didn't think much of it.

She took on a mission and went out, which allowed her to avoid the incident.

So he didn't suffer any injuries.

"The clan chief wants you to come in; he has something to discuss with you."

Hu Long pointed to the door of the ward.

Hu Li didn't ask any further questions.

She simply nodded and walked past him.

The door opened and closed again, separating the inside from the outside.

Hu Long withdrew his gaze, his expression indifferent.

The remaining people glanced at him for a moment, then looked away.

He paid no attention and walked straight to the window at the end of the corridor.

The sky outside the window was overcast, with a light drizzle like mist, and occasionally a few gray birds flew over the roof.

See here.

He gave a slight twitch at the corner of his mouth.

"What a cunning old fox."

previously.

Hu Zhenkui's words seemed sincere, but in reality, he still harbored his own ulterior motives.

If possible, Hu Long wouldn't mind taking the position of patriarch of the Hu clan.

Because that way, he could use more power to get others to help him collect evil spirits.

But unfortunately.

This seat isn't easy to sit in; it's not that simple.

He is too inexperienced; if he wants to take a position, he needs to demonstrate his abilities.

However, rashly revealing his full strength would only bring him trouble.

The time frame is too short, only a few months, for someone to go from an ordinary person to a perfected martial artist in the Skin Polishing Realm. Even a fool would know there's something wrong with that.

Even if he defeats Hu Lin, he will not be able to secure the position of clan leader.

Because above this is the colossal Ji family.

Of course, given the size of the other party, they probably wouldn't care who becomes the chief of a subordinate medium-sized clan.

However, risks also exist.

After all, not everyone is like Hu Zhenkui, able to remain unmoved by his sudden surge in strength and investigate its secrets.

So, while it seems like he has two choices, in reality, he only has one choice at the moment.

Unless his strength increases again, giving him the power to directly confront the superior clans.

Or—use other methods to disguise your identity.

However, Hu Long is not considering doing so for the time being.

after all.

Based on the behavior of that Pure Fire Sect leader who had reached the Blood Transformation Realm.

The clan leader is highly likely to be the first to be attacked; the danger level is too high.

"That's fine too."

Hu Long remained calm.

Just now, Hu Zhenkui also delegated some authority to him.

This allows him to draw upon more of his family's resources.

As time went on, the injured family members were discharged from the hospital one after another, while those who did not survive simply passed away.

After lying in bed for nearly half a month, Hu Zhengkui finally regained his basic mobility and was able to sit up.

The family compound was demolished and rebuilt.

-

As for changing locations, there's absolutely no need, especially when facing someone at the Blood Transformation Realm.

Unless you move next to the Ji family, it's the same no matter where you are.

As for the news about the leader of the Pure Fire Sect, it was only said that he was severely injured by the Ji family, and no further information was available.

However, for now, the Hu family's crisis has been temporarily resolved, at least the other party is not free to cause trouble.

Hu Long declined to comment on this.

This time it was just luck, but what about next time?

Although the Ji family is powerful, it cannot protect the Hu family forever.

As for whether surrendering human skin can bring peace.

Putting aside the fact that this is just speculation, given that the other party is a cult leader, would it be alright to hand him over? It's not impossible that he could be killed casually.

He had no choice.

Rather than handing your fate over to others, you should rely on yourself.

After waiting a few more days, and after settling He Yanling and the others in,

Hu Long then accepted a mission and left Yangang City.

Shortly after Hu Long left.

Yangang City, a hidden underground space near the sea.

Click—!

The heavy iron gate was pushed open, and a figure slowly walked out.

This was a young man in his early twenties, with shoulder-length hair and a beard that hadn't been trimmed in some time, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

"After six months of seclusion, I've finally made a breakthrough."

He was none other than Hu Lin, who was being groomed to be the next clan leader.

Now, his aura has grown even stronger, and he has clearly entered the Bone Tempering Realm.

It should be noted that before this, only Hu Zhenkui in the entire Hu family had reached this level.

Leaving the basement, Hu Lin entered the villa, quickly washed up, and looked much more refreshed and neat.

I plugged my phone in to charge and glanced at the time.

"That's about right, just in time for the Southern Province Martial Arts Tournament a few months from now —"

Hu Lin thought to himself.

Beep beep—!

At this moment, a message and missed calls pop up on the screen.

The dates are very recent, all from the last few days.

Upon seeing this, he frowned slightly.

Not many people know his contact information; they are mostly high-ranking and respected members of the Hu family.

These people know he is in seclusion and generally will not disturb him.

But there's so much information now.

A vague sense of unease rose in his heart.

He clicked on one of the messages, and his expression suddenly darkened.

"How could this happen?"

A few hours later.

Inside one of the courtyards of the newly renovated Hu family ancestral compound.

Hu Lin sat at the head of the table, with more than a dozen figures sitting below him.

These people are all high-ranking members of the Hu family.

The group included a martial artist whose strength had reached the Skin Polishing Realm, as well as several senior clan elders.

Compared to before, there were far fewer people, and most of those who remained were bandaged and injured.

Hu Lin, seated at the head of the table, swept his gaze over them.

He paused slightly.

"Where are Hu Xin, Hu Qiu, Hu Hai, Hu Suo, and Hu Long? Why aren't they here?"

The words fell.

Below, a middle-aged man stood up and replied.

"Hu Xin, Hu Qiu, and Hu Suo are still seriously injured and unable to get out of bed."

Hu Long and Hu Hai recently went out on a mission.

Upon hearing this...

Hu Lin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face.

"The clan has just experienced a great calamity. It's one thing for Hu Suo and the other two to be left behind, but Hu Hai and Hu Long have actually passed away like this."

Upon his return, he will be deducted 100 points and forced to kneel for three days as a warning to others.

As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd below looked at each other in bewilderment.

Hu Li stepped forward and said.

"Young master, isn't this punishment a bit too harsh? Those two didn't do it on purpose—"

"What's wrong?"

Hu Lin raised an eyebrow.

"My words are no longer effective?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the aura of the Bone Tempering Realm emanated from his body, and a blurry black ape phantom vaguely appeared behind him.

"Also, I need to correct your title. I am now the clan leader."

He's trying to establish his authority.

A new broom sweeps clean, and as the new clan leader, he needs to establish his authority.

Hu Hai was merely a low-level martial artist, while Hu Long...

Hu Zhenkui had specifically instructed that this boy's talent was astonishing, far surpassing his own.

Hu Lin didn't take it seriously.

Genius? He's seen plenty of those.

As the number one genius of the Hu clan, he didn't take Hu Long seriously at all.

This warning was naturally not directed at these two individuals.

It's all just a show for these people.

"Everyone should understand what the old clan chief means. From now on, I will temporarily assume the position of clan chief. If anyone has any objections, they can raise them now."

He surveyed the surroundings with his gaze, his aura as powerful as that of a Bone Tempering Realm cultivator sweeping across the area.

The crowd looked on with awe, and no one spoke again.

Hu Li, who was about to say something, could only swallow her words with an ugly expression.

If the other party were at the Jade Skin Realm, she might test his strength.

But now that the opponent has broken through, making a move would only be asking for trouble and is completely unnecessary.

No matter how talented you are, it's impossible to leapfrog to a higher level.
