Dou Po: Lord of the Great Thousand

"Ancestor, have you really decided?"

Deep in the Burning Flame Valley, in the bamboo forest where the Huoyun Ancestor lived in seclusion.

Tang Zhen, who had just arrived at the bamboo forest, stood in front of Patriarch Huoyun, looking at the Dinghai Shenzhen of Fenyan Valley in front of him, with a look of apprehension on his face, and a hint of excitement.

Patriarch Huo Yun raised his eyelids and looked at the excited Tang Zhen in front of him with disdain, then Shi Shiran picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"I've been a Valley Master for so many years, and I'm still so restless..."

Putting down the tea cup in his hand, Patriarch Huoyun paused slightly, his eyes shining brightly, as if he had seen through the bamboo forest in front of him the old woman holding Tang Su at the entrance of the small bluestone courtyard in the distance.

After a few breaths, he sighed softly and said leisurely: "Leave this matter to that old guy, just say that I still owe her a favor from Fenyan Valley."

"yes!"

Upon hearing this, Tang Zhen's face showed a joyful expression, he nodded heavily, turned around and walked out of the bamboo forest.

His ancestor's injury had been cured, and the required medicinal materials had been gathered during this period. Tang Zhen's heart was already filled with countless joy.

They, Fenyan Valley, have always been walking on thin ice in Zhongzhou. Isn't it because there is no strong person who can stand in front of the stage?

At that time, Patriarch Huoyun was injured in his body, and his strength, due to his age limit, was far inferior to Binghe. It can be said that it was the most difficult period for them.

Otherwise, how could Glacier Valley have the courage to take action against his sister decades ago?

Now, Tang Ling returned to the Jia Ma Empire, and unexpectedly met Yao Chen, who was known as the mainland's number one alchemist at that time, and got the prescription to treat the injuries in Patriarch Huo Yun's body from the latter.

When Tang Zhen heard this sudden good news from Patriarch Huo Yun, he felt so unbelievable.

What it means to be a true fighting saint is naturally self-evident.

Among the large and small forces in Zhongzhou, whether they are overt or hidden established forces, except for a few ancient clans that have strong fighting saints, the only ones are the Soul Palace and the Dan Pagoda!

Other forces may have strong Half-Saints, but Half-Saints are Half-Saints. There is no big difference between facing a true Dou Saint powerhouse and a Six-Star Dou Zun like him facing a Half-Saint!

Thinking happily about the strength of Burning Flame Valley after Ancestor Huo Yun recovered from his injury, Tang Zhen raised his feet and took two steps when the former's voice came to his ears again.

"Why are you leaving in such a hurry? I ask you, who are you going to ask her to find to refine the elixir this time, and what reward are you going to give?"

"This..." Tang Zhen was stunned when he heard this, then walked back to his original position with some embarrassment, and asked sarcastically, "What does the ancestor mean?"

"snort!"

Seeing Tang Zhen return, Patriarch Huo Yun raised his eyes and glanced at the former, and then said lightly: "Originally, Mr. Ling said that he had a plan, but as an elder, you can't always rely on your nephew, right?"

Hearing this, Tang Zhen smiled awkwardly, but his heart couldn't help but twitch. "Come on, I'm the only one who is Ling'er's elder, aren't you?"

But he didn't dare to say these words. The old man in front of him left a deep impression on him when he was young.

There is no other way, as a man, naturally he is not as lovable as his sister who has been a fan of love since childhood.

However, Patriarch Huo Yun's words made Tang Zhen frown slightly.

"Did Ling'er say he had a plan? If so, will we ruin his plan?"

After pondering for a long time, Tang Zhen finally couldn't hold back the hesitation in his heart and asked.

With the changes that Tang Ling had brought to Burning Flame Valley in the past few years, and the rapid improvement in its strength in recent years, Tang Zhen no longer had the thought of treating the younger generation in his heart.

Although it was a fact that Tang Ling was his nephew, when it came to the Burning Flame Valley, he no longer regarded Tang Ling as a junior, but as an important person.

At the same time, Tang Zhen also believed that even the old guy in front of him would never value Tang Ling less than he did.

After hearing his words, Patriarch Huo Yun's reaction did not exceed his expectations, and he was indeed as tangled as he had foreseen.

"Boy Ling?"

Ancestor Huo Yun frowned, as if he was constantly weighing the gains and losses of this trip in his heart.

He asked Tang Zhen to entrust the refining of the medicine to the woman, firstly because of trust, and secondly because it was inconvenient for him to appear in front of others before his injury healed.

The purpose of entrusting someone to refine a Saint-Returning Yuan Pill that is close to the peak of the eighth level is very clear. If we don’t find someone who is reliable and can hide the Burning Flame Valley, if something goes wrong, I am afraid that it will lead to the Burning Flame Valley.

Come great danger.

Tang Ling may have his own plan in mind, but his plan will more or less reveal the relationship between the elixir and the Burning Flame Valley. In that case, it would be fine if the plan succeeds, but if something goes wrong...

After all, Tang Ling didn't have much sense of belonging to Burning Flame Valley. In his heart, they were the only ones he cared about the most.

Regarding this point, Patriarch Huoyun, Tang Zhen and others were actually very clear about this.

It is also because of this key point that Tang Ling's plan, perhaps, no, it should be said to be almost 100% possible, did not take the entire Burning Flame Valley into consideration!

Although this was just his guess, Ancestor Huo Yun could be sure that there was absolutely no error in his guess.

This is his hundreds of years of experience, and his experience has also allowed Fenyan Valley to successfully survive the most difficult years.

"Ancestor, I understand your concerns, but according to the news from the northwest region, Ling'er may be returning to Zhongzhou soon. Do we need to wait a little longer and discuss it again?"

Interrupted from his thoughts by Tang Zhen's words, Patriarch Huo Yun couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows, and then said angrily: "Zhongzhou is so far away from the Northwest Territory, how could that kid just come back..."

Before he finished speaking, Patriarch Huo Yun's expression froze suddenly, he scratched his hair with some uncertainty, and a flash of astonishment flashed in his eyes.

"Ancestor...?" Tang Zhen called cautiously.

With the old guy's reaction, could it be that that kid has really come back?

He knew that the space passage from the Self-Immolation Valley to the Jiama Empire had been opened by the old man in front of him a month ago.

As a trump card of Burning Flame Valley, the location of that passage is also extremely secret. Currently, only a few of them know about it.

Moreover, the location of that passage has always been sealed by the old man in front of me to prevent the spatial fluctuations caused by it from being noticed by others.

Gu Tan

"Wait here, I'll go take a look..."

Ancestor Huoyun, who also had this thought in his mind, gave instructions to Tang Zhen in front of him, and at the same time, his figure slowly disappeared without any warning.

Seeing the old man leaving, Tang Zhen already knew in his heart that Tang Ling's return was probably inseparable.

Thinking of this, Tang Zhen couldn't help but glance at the location of the bluestone courtyard. Now that Tang Ling is back, the time for mother and son to take action is probably not far away!

For a moment, Tang Zhen didn't know what to think.

Although he hasn't been paying attention to the weirdness in the Glacier Valley recently, he knows it clearly.

With the strength of Tang Su, Bai Li and Tang Ling, if they were to face the former Glacier River Valley, it would be a sure thing.

But for more than a year, the glacier valley suddenly disappeared in Zhongzhou. Tang Zhen would not think that this was Binghe's retreat because he knew he was outmatched. The latter was more planning some conspiracy against Tang Su and others, waiting.

Several people threw themselves into the trap.

But, can it be stopped?

Tang Zhen smiled bitterly. He had hated his sister for more than thirty years, and all he could do was to eliminate any trouble for her behind her back.

"It seems that the matter of refining the Saint Yuan Pill must be done as soon as possible." Tang Zhen touched the beard on his chin, then he smiled again and muttered, "It's a coincidence that this kid came back. Grandma, she is such an old man.

But I have always wanted to see him..."

…

Tang Su, Tang Ling's mother, a woman with a great reputation in Zhongzhou, at this moment, showed extremely rare emotions of admiration and coquettishness in the old woman's arms.

Bai Li in the courtyard, with an inexplicable expression on her delicate face, looked at this scene in a daze.

It was really unimaginable in her heart that Miss Tang, who was fearless and fearless, would behave like a child like now.

Also, what Miss Tang called was "grandma", right?

Bai Li's eyes fell on the woman. She was wearing a set of cyan clothes on her well-proportioned body. The smooth and supple skin on her face had somewhat similar facial features to Tang Su's, which was enough to show that the woman was always the same.

Stunning beauty, and not just back then.

If it weren't for the silver-white hair that was tied back on her head, no one would have believed that this woman, who looked to be only forty or fifty years old, could actually be Tang Su's grandmother.

The most important thing is that Bai Li looked up and down the woman's body, but did not see any trace of fighting spirit on the latter's body.

However, the faint feeling of danger coming from the other party made Bai Li, a divine beast with sensitive perception, feel nervous all over.

"So strong!"

Bai Li's pupils shrank, and there was a hint of solemnity in her dark blue eyes. He was definitely a strong man far beyond her, a peak Dou Zun, a ninth rank Dou Zun, or in other words, a stronger being.

?

Looking at the woman standing at the entrance of the courtyard, holding Tang Su in her arms, Bai Li felt a little dazed for a moment.

For such a long time, she originally thought that Fen Yangu had been Tang Su's trump card. But today, she discovered that she had never come into contact with something deeper about this extravagant Miss Tang.

At the same time, the woman finally recovered from Tang Su in her arms, raised her head slightly and looked at the girl standing under the eaves.

She was seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a blue palace dress, and her delicate and beautiful facial features made the woman's eyes slightly startled, and then she nodded to her with a smile on her eyes.

Nodding slightly in return, Bai Li looked deeply at Tang Su, bowed to the woman again, turned around and walked out of the small courtyard, leaving this space to Tang Su and her grandmother.

.

"Grandma, why did you come to Fenyan Valley?"

Tang Su seemed to be aware of the inexplicable gaze behind him, and with a blushing face, he gently broke away from the woman's arms, hugged one of the latter's arms, and asked softly.

With Tang Su holding her arm, the woman first raised her head with a smile and nodded to Bai Li in the distance. After saying hello, she raised her hand to touch the former's eyebrows lovingly, hummed softly, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you?"

I haven’t seen you in ten years. The old lady is here to see my great-grandson, not you."

After saying that, the woman raised her eyes and looked at the courtyard in front of her, nodded with a bit of satisfaction on her face, and said: "It's a fairly elegant residence. Why don't you invite me in?"

…

Standing in the distance, Bai Li looked at the two figures entering the courtyard, his eyes gradually diverging.

For some reason, at this moment, all Bai Li could feel was the loneliness emerging from the bottom of his heart.

The back figure of Tang Su who helped the woman enter the room gradually disappeared from her sight. Bai Li stood there for a long time in a daze. After an unknown period of time, she finally came back to her senses. After looking around, she casually

He found a way and walked over.

Gradually, she walked out of the area where the bluestone courtyard was located, and walked along a winding path for an unknown amount of time. The low hillsides and green bamboo forests in front of her were left behind one by one.

She just walked silently, without any goal.

In just over ten years, she seems to have forgotten that decades ago, she was always a lonely person, struggling for nearly a thousand years in the darkness with no way forward.

She practiced hard, worked hard to improve her strength, and then faced the inevitable fate again and again. Back then, she seemed to have no such feeling called loneliness in her heart.

Bai Li pressed her white palm gently on her chest, feeling her own temperature and heartbeat. Bai Li was at a loss for a moment.

"Since when did I feel lonely..."

At this moment, she thought a lot about the days in the Warcraft Mountains. However, at some point, those memories that left a deep impression on her heart had completely changed.

That young man in blue clothes, that young man who hid in the ice lake and bargained with her, that young man who was worried about her on the Glacier Ancient Road, that young man who was always caring about her despite being blocked by her at all times.

…

Bai Li's eyes gradually became blurry, but the figure in her heart became clearer and clearer. What finally appeared to her was a smile that she might never forget.

The footsteps stopped, the faint conversation sounds around him seemed to have stopped, and Bai Li slowly came back to his senses.

There was a quiet lake in front of her, and the gentle breeze on the lake blew against her face, causing ripples that stirred her name that she had not said for a long time.

"Smelly boy..."

There were gentle murmurs, and Bai Li looked at the lake in front of him quietly.

However, at this moment, there was always a sound that broke this peaceful and beautiful picture.

"Well, I'm here!"
