Sword Qi to the Sky

Chapter 83 Cui Lengzhou

When Li Fan came back, Li Hongyi's eyes were still red. The mother and daughter recognized each other, and they must have cried a lot.

"Xiaofan, sit down." After Cui Yushang's sadness, she looked at Li Fan with a gentle smile. Although she was wearing ordinary clothes, she still looked dignified and virtuous, making people feel very comfortable.

She is a direct descendant of the Cui family. Twenty years ago, she was also the daughter of the Cui family.

"Thank you, Aunt Cui." Li Fan sat down in the pavilion beside the pond.

"Although I have never been to Lishan, I have heard of its name. You are a disciple of Lishan, and I don't have anything I can give you. Aunt Cui, apart from remembering this kindness in her heart, I'm afraid I won't be able to repay it." Cui Yushang said softly.

"Aunt Cui, Hongyi and I have been through life and death together in Lin'an County. This is what we should do and there is no need to repay us." Li Fan replied.

"I know your heart, but Aunt Cui is still ashamed." Cui Yuchang said: "The Cui family suppressed my family back then, and now they are humiliating Hongyi. Hongyi said that if you hadn't found her, she might have met with an accident in Chuzhou City."

Li Fan looked at Li Hongyi, only to see that Li Hongyi's beautiful eyes were also on him. She had just told her mother about her experience of meeting Li Fan, coming to Chuzhou, and the Cui family.

"Aunt Cui, since you are fine, why did the Cui family stop Hongyi and I from seeing you?" Li Fan asked curiously. He was worried that the Cui family stopped her because she had encountered some accident.

But now it seems that although Cui Yushang is living a miserable life, at least she is safe, which is better than he expected.

"Of course, they are afraid that you will take advantage of Lishan to take revenge on the Cui family." Cui Yuchang's eyes showed coldness when she mentioned this matter, and said: "Although family disgrace should not be made public, there is no need to hide this from you. Back then, when I met Hongyi's father and got together, although my parents had some thoughts, they indulged me in the end and blessed Daoqing and me."

"However, this incident became the fuse of the factional dispute within the Cui family. Cui Mu, who is now the leader of the Cui family, made a big fuss about this incident. My father was stubborn by nature, so how could he tolerate it? As a result, an internal fight broke out in the Cui family, and my parents became the targets of the purge. Because of this incident, my parents were seriously injured. The Cui family broke my father's foundation and imprisoned him in the dungeon. My mother was too seriously injured and died in depression..."

Cui Yuchang couldn't help herself when she said this, her eyes turned red again, filled with hatred.

She herself was also injured in that incident, and after what happened, Li Hongyi, who could have become the daughter of the Cui family, was stigmatized as a bastard.

But Li Daoqing couldn't even step into the Cui family's door.

"Your father didn't know about the internal affairs of the Cui family. The Cui family also deliberately humiliated your father and made him kneel outside the Cui family." Cui Yushang said to Li Hongyi: "Hongyi, your grandparents are very good. They watched you being born and they love you very much."

When it came to the emotional part, Cui Yuchang also thought of her parents, tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she continued, "I am incompetent. Your grandfather's roots were destroyed, and now he is imprisoned in the Cui family dungeon, suffering all kinds of hardships, but I can't even look at him. If there were no elders in our lineage, I'm afraid they would have all been killed."

Li Fan was also quite moved when he heard this, and he felt in his heart that human hearts are indeed complicated.

The reason behind this turmoil was actually the factional struggle within the Cui family.

The thousand-year-old family is still corrupt inside.

"Xiao Fan, I am not qualified to ask you for anything, but I still want to ask you for one thing. I am too embarrassed to see my father. Can you take Hongyi to see her grandfather and see if he is okay now?" Cui Yushang looked at Li Fan and said.

"Aunt Cui, I'll take Hongyi with me." Li Fan replied.

…………

The Cui family dungeon is located in the deepest part of the Cui family.

In the dark and damp dungeon, the "criminals" of the Cui family are usually imprisoned.

At this time, inside the dungeon, in a prison made of special materials, there was a figure sitting cross-legged inside. This figure had disheveled hair, and his clothes were tattered. His hands and feet were locked with iron chains, and there were rats making hissing sounds around him.

Apart from the company of rats, there seemed to be nothing else in this dungeon.

No one came to bring him food, in fact, no one had come for a long time, leaving him to fend for himself.

The Cui family gradually forgot his existence.

Cui Lengzhou is Cui Yushang's father and Li Hongyi's grandfather.

Twenty years ago, he was full of vigor and vitality, had outstanding talent, and a strong foundation. He had the opportunity to break through to the Nascent Soul stage and threatened the position of the head of the family.

Thus, a storm arose from an incident.

In that storm, his foundation was destroyed, his wife was seriously injured and died, his daughter was also injured, and his granddaughter became a "bastard".

This grudge is unforgettable, and Cui Lengzhou remembers it all the time.

In the past twenty years, people outside have forgotten his existence.

However, he never forgot those people outside, not even for a moment...

Squeak... A mouse crawled to the old man's feet. The old man suddenly reached out and grabbed it, then put the mouse into his mouth and chewed it alive. Blood dyed the corners of his mouth red, but the old man still kept his eyes closed.

Although he no longer needs to eat, he did so for a long time in the past.

These things can make his hatred more unforgettable.

Just then, a sound came from outside. The old man moved his ears and soon heard footsteps.

In the darkness, a figure holding a torch walked towards this side step by step.

Soon he walked to the iron chain, put the torch in front of it, and saw the old man sitting there quietly. "You old man, are you still alive?" The man cursed in a low voice. If it weren't for the accident that happened to the Cui family, he wouldn't have come here to see it. This dungeon was gloomy and he wouldn't have bothered to run if it wasn't for the order from above.

However, this old man is a waste. Even if the person who came from the mountain is really an important person, what can he do?
"Your daughter seduced a man and gave birth to a bastard. I didn't expect that the bastard was of the same kind as you, also seducing men outside and even daring to bring him to Cui's house. What a bastard." The man cursed in a low voice.

Just as he finished speaking, a light suddenly appeared in front of him. He was so scared that he took a step back, and then he found that the two beams of light were actually the other person's eyes.

"This old immortal..." He cursed and felt a chill all over his body. The next moment, a terrifying aura suddenly descended on him, and his body seemed to be pulled forward by an invisible force.

"What's going on?" His expression changed drastically, and his aura burst out, but he still couldn't stop that force.

"Bang..." His body hit the prison door. He saw the old man staring at him like a ferocious beast in the darkness. Only then he saw that there was blood at the corner of the old man's mouth.

"Are you a human or a ghost?" His heart twitched and an inexplicable fear rushed to his head.

This old immortal had his foundation destroyed long ago, what happened?

Could it be that he has died and turned into a ghost?
"What were you talking about just now? Who broke into the Cui family?" the old man stared at him and asked.

"It's not a ghost?" The man was shocked. If it wasn't a ghost, why would the other party recover his cultivation?
The iron chain made a crisp sound, and the other person stood up. He was actually a head taller than him. The old man reached out and grabbed his head, exerting a little force. He screamed and said, "Spare my life."

"Speak." The old man spat out a word coldly.

"It's Li Hongyi, your granddaughter. She and a man broke into the Cui family looking for her mother." The man said in panic, "I'm just following orders. Please let me go."

"Crack..." His head was crushed and blood flowed along the old man's big hand.

Boom... The chains that locked the old man broke. He placed his hands on the prison railings and pulled hard, and they actually opened up. The old man strode out.

With every step he took, his momentum rose as he moved closer and closer to the outside of the dungeon.

It has been twenty years. He has been here for twenty years. His foundation has been destroyed, but hatred has given him an extremely strong willpower, driving him to move forward.

He wanted to endure the incident for a while longer, but when he heard that his granddaughter was coming, he could not wait any longer.

He would not let his granddaughter make the same mistake again.

Outside, the ground suddenly exploded, and a figure strode out from underground. It was Cui Lengzhou.

He was extremely tall, with disheveled hair and torn clothes. He even had a strange smell on his body. His bare feet were very large. There were dark clouds above his head, with lightning and thunder. Rain fell on him, washing his body.

He stepped forward, and with every step he took, his momentum became stronger. The thunder in the sky struck his body but did not hurt him at all. It seemed as if it was absorbed by his body and merged into his body.

In the distance, a group of figures were running towards this side quickly, holding spears. When they saw the old man appear, they all rushed straight forward, wanting to kill the old man directly.

The long spears pierced the old man's body, but it seemed like they were piercing hard objects. Their expressions changed in shock. Boom... The thunder fell down and hit their bodies. A burning smell came, and all the people who came forward fell down in an instant.

The people behind were stunned when they saw this scene. They stopped and looked at the old man in horror.

I saw the opponent continue to move forward, and a terrifying vortex seemed to appear around his body, swallowing up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. The thunder in the sky rushed towards him madly and fell on him. Those thunder and lightning seemed to be absorbed by his body, and his body was madly absorbing strength.

"Building the foundation, he is rebuilding the foundation..."

The people around were horrified. How could this be possible?

The old man’s foundation was destroyed twenty years ago. He was imprisoned in the dungeon for twenty years. How could he rebuild his foundation when he came out?
The old man continued to move forward, and a violent roar came from his body, becoming louder and louder, as if blending with the thunder in the sky.

He took big bare feet step forward, each step was very big, and his tall body gave people a strong sense of oppression. Those who had arrived retreated one after another and dared not come forward.

The old man clenched his fists and another loud thunder roared down. The people around him didn't even have time to scream before they were killed. A thundercloud storm formed above the old man's head.

At this moment, figures from the Cui family rose into the air, landed on the houses, or stood in the void. They all looked up and looked towards the sky above their heads where the old man was.

"what is that?"

"What's going on?" The people from the Cui family were puzzled.

"It seems to be in the direction of the dungeon."

"Dungeon?" Cui Mu, the head of the Cui family, stared at that place with cold eyes.

This is, someone wants to condense the pill.

There is no one in the Cui family who wants to condense the pill recently.

Who?
He had a bad feeling in his heart and his consciousness headed in that direction.

Cui Lengzhou continued to stride forward, his momentum still rising.

Not only does he have to build a foundation, he also has to condense the elixir!
