Under One Person: I Opened the Age of Mythology

Chapter 69: The tide turns, and the bitter fruit is borne

When Gao Lian rushed out of the cave, it was already too late.

He saw with his own eyes that Gao Erzhuang was torn into two pieces by a giant tiger. His eyes were immediately bloodshot. Before he could react, the giant tiger looked at him again and stretched out its claws and fangs towards him.

Fortunately, a fox fairy not far away noticed something was wrong and suddenly took action to take down the giant tiger, thus avoiding another bloody disaster. He did not care about anything else at this time and rushed over to hug his daughter.

At this time, Gao Erzhuang had already fallen into a coma, and his life force was rapidly draining away. If he had not practiced Quanzhen Taoism since childhood and had a very strong vitality, he would probably have died by now.

But even so, it was difficult to save her in this wilderness. Gao Lian could only use his true Qi to stop the bleeding, protect her heart meridians, and maintain her vital signs, while shouting:

"Someone, come quickly!"

However, after shouting for a long time with no response, he realized that both the Gao family members and their employees had been stopped by the immortals. Everyone could only stare blankly from a few hundred meters away. Anyone who dared to take a step forward would be knocked unconscious immediately.

"This……"

Gao Lian was stunned upon seeing this scene. He knew that his actions would surely be retaliated by the immortals, and he had already prepared to keep a low profile for a while and make amends under the protection of the Hu family. However, he did not expect... "retribution" would come so soon!

It can be seen that except for the fox fairy who captured the giant tiger and was released intentionally, the rest of the Tianzi immortals including Hu Tianbiao were also stopped by the Tianzi immortals from the other four families. It's really a matter of time!

Although the final result of this incident is that Liu Tianhong is missing and whether she will be returned is still unclear, the other four families are obviously extremely angry and are ready to settle the score on the spot...

And with the agreement between the five families and the various rules among the immortals, they will not take action against the Hu family, nor will they retaliate against the descendants of the Hu family. In addition, since ancient times, the problems of the immortals have been the responsibility of the disciples in charge. Naturally, the Gao family has to bear the brunt of this rising anger!

For a moment, Gao Lian opened his mouth slightly, but didn't know what to say. He knew very well that in the eyes of these immortals, their disciples were nothing at all, especially the disciples from other families.

Therefore, he could only look at the fox fairy beside him with a pleading look, but she shook her head and said, "They have already shown some leniency by letting me save you. They will not allow me to take your daughter away..."

"!!!"

Hearing this, Gao Lian's eyes suddenly widened, and he completely recognized the reality. He couldn't help but look at his daughter in his arms again. At this moment, Gao Erzhuang was already extremely weak, and as a father, he was powerless...

But the next moment, his eyes suddenly became focused, revealing a resolute look. He immediately picked up the two halves of his daughter's body and whispered in her ear:
"Hold on, Dad will take you out!"

But at this moment...

"Given her current condition, even if we don't stop you, she won't be able to make it out of the mountain, let alone get treated. Are you sure you want to take her out?" An old woman's voice sounded.

When Gao Lian heard the sound, he immediately saw a human-sized hedgehog covered with white thorns. Seeing the medicinal wood cane in the hedgehog's hand, which symbolized his status, he immediately recognized the other party's identity:
"Old lady Bai!"

The so-called "Old Lady Bai" is not a general term like "grandmother-in-law and grandfather", but a title that belongs exclusively to the eldest person in the Bai family, just like "Uncle Hu" and "Uncle Huang", representing the status of the patriarch...

In other words, the person in front of him is none other than Bai Family’s current patriarch, Bai Tianzhen!

When Gao Lian saw this person appear, his eyes immediately lit up. Everyone knows that the Bai family is best at "the art of witch doctors". Even if they cannot bring people back to the dead, it is common for them to treat external injuries and bring people back from the brink of death!

"Please, Madam Bai, save my daughter's life. I, Gao Lian, swear as the head of the Gao family that I am willing to give you any conditions in exchange!"

thump!
Without hesitation, Gao Lian immediately knelt down in front of Old Lady Bai, holding his daughter in his arms.

"Oh, any conditions? Then if I ask you to destroy the Hu family's branch in the Gao family... would you be willing?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bai sneered.

"Mr. Bai, don't go too far!" The Hu family immortal on the side immediately shouted, and the leading "Uncle Hu" frowned deeply and narrowed his eyes at him.

"This……"

As expected, Gao Lian hesitated. He didn't know whether Mrs. Bai was serious or not, and he couldn't make any choice between his daughter and the immortals.

So… "As long as Old Lady Bai is willing to help, you can take my worthless life. I also know that the immortals will not let the Gao family off this time, but this is all my Gao Lian's behavior. On the contrary, my daughter has been secretly preventing it from the beginning to the end. Please let her go!"

"Your life?"

Hearing this, all the immortals burst into laughter.

"Gao family boy, what good will it do for us to take your life? Can it make up for the opportunities we lost?"

"That……"

Seeing that they didn't seem to want to kill them all, Gao Lian was stunned for a moment.

"Okay, old lady, on behalf of the Huang, Liu, Hui and Bai families, I would like to make a statement. I can save this person, and the condition is very simple. From today on, the Gao family must add the children of my four families to the hall. Can you agree?" Old Lady Bai spoke slowly.

That's right, the purpose of the four families sending this Tiger Fairy to hurt people was not just for revenge, but also to allow their own children to join the Gao family and be worshipped by the Gao family, so as to get a share of the pie.

They are all experienced old immortals, and each of them is very smart. Through this incident, they can naturally see the impact of the company's current strength on themselves. Since the Gao family is the backbone of the company, it is natural to bring them under their command in order to maximize the benefits!

"This……"

Gao Lian glared when he heard this, and couldn't help but look at the group of fox fairies who were stopped by the fairies. Then he saw Uncle Hu nodded...

Obviously, they have already discussed it with each other.

"Okay, I agree!"

When Gao Lian saw this, he realized that his daughter's situation was not caused by four families, but by five families. He felt bitter in his heart, but he had no choice but to agree.

But just when he thought his daughter was finally saved and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Mrs. Bai's voice sounded again, causing his pupils to shrink:
"However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the punishment of life cannot be escaped. In order to make you remember this lesson, I will only save her life. As for this crippled body... you have to figure out a way yourself!"

"!!!"

……

……

After this.

Early the next morning.

Xia Ye, who was still on the train, received a call from Yu Huadu:

"Hey, did you do what happened to Liu Xian'er in the Northeast? The company is in a state of panic now. A warning order has been issued and all branches are on alert!"

"Why, what's going on?"

Xia Ye knew that if it were just this, this guy wouldn't have called in such a hurry.

"Well, let me remind you of one thing. Everything is fine at the company for now, and no one will suspect you. But for some reason, Gao Lian, the head of the Northeast region, suddenly arrived in Hangzhou by plane and has now left the airport. It seems that he is heading straight to you!"

"Oh?"

Xia Ye narrowed his eyes and nodded.

"okay, I get it."
