C161 The Relationship Between the Liu Family and the Ancient Saint
Any random Senior Expert was sent out to kill him and seal off the news. However, another missing person had appeared in North Domain. No one would know the truth.
Ignoring the comments, Chen Fan left without looking back. The few disciples of Liu Family who were still lying on the ground heaved a sigh of relief.
They were helpless now. Their entire bodies were drenched in sweat. They were afraid that Chen Fan would bring a few more men to die with him. Fortunately, he didn't do anything to kill them.
Right at this moment, in the hall of Liu Family, a group of elders were discussing something. However, they seemed to be in a particularly good mood. It was obvious that they were in a state of fury.
"What exactly is going on? "Why didn't you bring back a scroll?!"
Sitting at the top was the head of the family, Liu Nan. He looked to be in his forties or fifties. His expression was dignified and his face was full of anger.
Originally, they had prepared to receive the scroll, but after waiting for a while, only Liu Sen came back. Only then did they realize that something was wrong.
"I did indeed do as you said. The price is one hundred thousand medicinal Spiritual Stones. Moreover, it has been raised several times in succession. Seeing that no one is competing with us, one suddenly appeared..."
Liu Sen was also aware of the seriousness of the matter. However, it was impossible for him to take all the responsibility on himself. He described it in a few words. Moreover, it was only because Third Brother raised the price at the last moment that he was unable to successfully bid.
There were also a few followers who followed him to the auction at the same time. At this moment, they also echoed, and were still in a state of confusion.
They did not know why a scroll would alert all the higher-ups. As for the matter of Liu Sen spending so many Spiritual Stones for the Pure Yang Sword, it was completely covered up.
"Damn it, there really is someone who defeats the Liu Family's intentions? Then he really is tired of living!"
One of the elders, Chen Fan, shouted. Such a thing had caused these few old men to be furious and break all their plans.
With a bang, Liu Nan smashed the tables and chairs around him. A terrifying pressure spread across the entire hall. Liu Sen and the others felt a pressure on their chests, and even the air seemed to have solidified.
"Did you send anyone to track them? We must stop him. The scroll on his body might attract the attention of other forces. We can't let him escape."
The Great Elder spoke. Only then did he save them. When he realized what had happened, his entire body was covered in a layer of cold sweat.
"After the Auction ended, I immediately sent Liu Yu to check it out. Furthermore, there was a conflict with him in the city."
Liu Sen hesitated for a moment and said with feigned grief, "Unfortunately, that guy was very ruthless. He actually killed Liu Yu. There were also a few other disciples who were seriously injured."
For a big family like the Liu Family, there was no opponent within a thousand miles radius. They can be said to be the number one colossus in the world. Chen Fan's actions were no less than slapping their faces.
"Bastard! Trash! He is simply a hooligan!"
When he heard these words, even the usually calm Great Elder could not sit still. He did not expect that he had already caused casualties.
"How dare you act so arrogantly after robbing my Liu Family? You must investigate thoroughly and find out where he went!"
"Where did this wild brat come from? He doesn't know that my Liu Family is the overlord of this region. It's obvious that he wants to die."
The other elders' expressions changed. They had only lost the scroll earlier. No matter what, Liu Sen was the one responsible for it. Liu Nan should discipline him even more.
Now, it was a good thing that someone had provoked the Liu Family directly by sacrificing their lives. It was intolerable, let alone a big family that had stood tall for hundreds of years like them.
"Sigh, if I knew this would happen, I would have gone there myself. I would have gotten the scroll back if I didn't have the time."
Although Liu Nan was Liu Sen's biological father, and the latter was destined to inherit his family's position, he had messed up this matter, which made him extremely disappointed.
"Father, give me a week's time. I will definitely be able to throw the scroll back. Moreover, I won't need to spend a single Spiritual Stone."
Even if he had no confidence in himself, Liu Sen had to pat his chest to make sure his father knew what he was trying to do.
The few elders in the hall wished they could personally hunt down Chen Fan. They knew very well what was recorded in the scroll. It might be related to their family's hundred years of luck.
"You guys go down first. This trip to the Auction has been tough. Rest more." Liu Nan dismissed the rest of his followers.
Seeing this, the other elders tactfully followed him out. In the huge family, only Liu Nan and the Great Elder had the final say.
Judging from their stance, they were definitely going to tell Liu Sen about the secret of the scroll. They could not intervene in the matter, so it was pointless to listen.
The latter had even activated the hidden Spell Formation in the entire hall. This way, no matter if it was the words or the Spiritual Consciousnesss, they would not need to worry about being leaked. It was even more impossible to talk about it outside.
"Son! Do you know what is written on that scroll? The inheritance of the last Ancient Saint in the entire North Domain?"
Liu Nan still felt a little regretful when he thought about it. He initially thought that the Liu Family would be able to obtain a greater glory in the hands of Ancient Saint, but now, so many unexpected events had occurred.
"It really has something to do with Ancient Saint!"
Liu Sen was shocked. Previously, the Great Elder had more or less revealed some information to him, but he did not personally confirm it.
"Moreover, since that senior passed away, no Ancient Saint has appeared for thousands of years. There are many mysteries about him that have yet to be solved."
The Great Elder said leisurely. The higher one's cultivation realm was, the more one would be able to experience the power of a Saint. It had already surpassed the limit of human strength.
If it was a thousand years ago, it was possible that after reaching the Nascent Infant realm, an elder like the Great Elder would have yearned for Ancient Saint.
He hoped that he could become a true Ancient Saint one day, but after such a long time, no matter how talented or how powerful he was, all of them were wiped out in the long river of history without exception.
Although no one could explain why. They could only use the most common and simple Heavenly Dao as an explanation. The natural laws of this world no longer allowed Ancient Saint to appear.
It was precisely because of this that Liu Nan and the others attached so much importance to the scroll. It wasn't just a major power like the Liu Family. Even someone as strong as the Yuan Sect would be attracted to anything that was tainted by Ancient Saint's words.
"No wonder the patterns on it have a familiar feeling. It's the cultivation technique that I've been cultivating since I was young. Could it be that there's some connection between them?"
"Speaking of which, it is truly a coincidence. That Ancient Saint once came into contact with the ancestor of the Liu Family in his later years. Moreover, he has lived there for more than half a month."
The Great Elder had a past that most of the disciples of the Liu Family did not know about. It was the key to the rise of this big family.
"The Liu Family has grown because of Ancient Saint's guidance."
Liu Sen couldn't help but sigh. He recalled that the cultivation technique he had been cultivating all this time was probably due to Ancient Saint's thin inheritance. This way, he would think that the scroll was somewhat familiar.
"From this point of view, you and I are both the direct descendants of Ancient Saint. Of course, the inheritance of the old man will also be inherited by the Liu Family."
According to what Liu Nan said, it was really irrefutable. It was exactly the same as Chen Fan's previous wish. He couldn't wait for Ancient Saint's bloodline to be severed and he no longer had any direct relatives.
It wasn't an exaggeration to say that with this karma, if they could successfully find the inheritance of Ancient Saint, there was a high chance that Liu Family would inherit it completely.
When the time came, the entire Liu Family would leap up and become one of the top families in the North Domain. After all, there weren't many major powers that had Ancient Saint's backing.
"Then we should chase that kid back. We can't let him run far away."
Liu Sen clenched his fists and said fiercely. He finally realized the importance of the scroll to the Liu Family. Although it wasn't a matter of life and death, it was definitely worth risking his life.
"He is also a guest of honor in the room next to yours. Could he be someone from the other big families?"
The Great Elder was still more composed. He could vaguely sense that there was something fishy going on behind the scenes and didn't agree to act rashly.
"He should only be a young man in his early twenties, and he has never appeared in those clans before. He is an extremely unfamiliar face."
He even asked the disciples who came back with half of their lives. He even specially drew a portrait for him.
After that, he directly raised his hand and used the Spiritual Energy to appear. He heard Chen Fan's facial expression change. Of course, this was no longer his original face.
The Great Elder and Liu Nan all moved closer and carefully observed, carefully inspecting each and every one of them in their minds. There were indeed a few other large clans nearby.
Thinking carefully, if it was really them who snatched it, then it would be easy to settle. It was nothing more than an apology, spending more medicinal Spiritual Stones to get it back.
With the current power and influence of the Liu Family, if they were to force their way in, there really might not be a few major powers that could withstand it.
"Hmm, he is indeed an outsider."
After a while, the two old men looked at each other and confirmed Chen Fan's identity - he was not a member of the major families that participated in the Auction.
This increased the difficulty of searching. Both of their faces turned ugly. After pondering for a while, Liu Nan said.
"Let's check his background first. If he has nothing to do with the Yuan Sect and the others, then we can issue an arrest warrant. It's impossible for him to leave too far in such a short period of time."
The North Domain was just too big. Within a radius of a thousand miles, the Liu Family would naturally keep their word. However, once he left this circle, the scroll might be lost.
"I heard that he went to the west. The spy I sent out is still reporting the news."
Liu Sen added timely. After learning that Liu Yu was killed, he had already realized that the situation was not good. Fortunately, he had taken measures to remedy it in time.
