So, They Were the Protagonists All Along

For some reason, looking at this pair of clear eyes like a cold pond, Mu Zhian always felt that he seemed to have seen similar eyes in someone.

However, the woman in the blue skirt did not speak, but turned around and walked silently into the dark pleasure boat like a ghost.

"Ancestor!" Lan Murian suddenly called her.

She looked at the back of the woman who stopped and said again: "Why did you appear in this pleasure boat? Didn't the Lan family say that you had fallen?"

The woman in the blue skirt paused and glanced at Lan Murian faintly.

"Now I am indeed a dead person."

She raised her head and looked at the ancient boat by the lake, her eyes showing a look of nostalgia, and whispered: "I can talk to you here because of this pleasure boat."

Mu Zhian's eyes moved slightly, and said: "I think the senior's spiritual consciousness does not seem to be weak at all, why do you say that you are a dead person?"

The ancestor of the Lan family glanced at Mu Zhian, and for a moment, a strange light appeared in her beautiful eyes.

Soon afterwards, she woke up from her previous daze and suddenly revealed a faint smile: "She really didn't lie to me."

"Take good care of the girl next to you, we will have a chance to meet in the future."

Seeing that the other party had no intention of explaining, Mu Zhian didn't ask any more questions, so he had to change the topic: "The Lan family now holds an ancestor worship meeting every few years. Legend has it that the ancestors of the Lan family will send down oracles on this day to guide the future direction of the Lan family, and even give great immortal fate. Could this be done by the senior?"

The answer of the ancestor of the Lan family next caused a huge wave in the hearts of Mu Zhian and Lan Murian.

"I have never descended on the ancestral land of the Lan family at the ancestral worship meeting, let alone guide them." The ancestor of the Lan family shook his head slowly and said softly.

This woman spoke very calmly from beginning to end, with a cold and crisp voice, revealing the texture of ice cubes thrown into a glass of water.

Mu Zhian's eyes were filled with surprise: "If it wasn't done by the senior, then what exactly guided the Lan family at the ancestral worship meeting...?"

The ancestor of the Lan family glanced at Mu Zhian faintly, and she waved a palm-sized black jade tripod from her sleeves and flew into Mu Zhian's palm.

"What is this...?" Mu Zhian asked subconsciously.

"You will need it at the ancestral worship meeting." The ancestor of the Lan family spoke calmly.

Her appearance is quite similar to Lan Murian, but she is less cold and a little mature. If someone doesn't know, they might think that the two are mother and daughter.

After Mu Zhian and Lan Murian got off the pleasure boat, they watched the ancestor of the Lan family step onto the deck and then disappeared from their sight with the pleasure boat, and then they slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Let's go back first." He looked at the black jade tripod in his hand and said softly.

Lan Murian nodded silently.

What happened tonight was too unbelievable, and she also needed time to think about it.

The ancestor of the Lan family, who should have died, appeared in a mysterious ancient ship tonight... and the breath of the ancestor of the Lan family did not look weak at all.

The ancestor even said that the oracle at the ancestor worship ceremony was not her...

Who was it then?

The Lan family should have only produced one person in the Hedao realm...

"What are you thinking about, Senior Sister?" Mu Zhian flew on the sword all the way, looking at Lan Murian's thoughtful expression, and suddenly asked.

"I was just thinking, I didn't see any sign of weakness from the ancestor just now, why did she say that she was a dead person? It seems that she exudes the breath of the living..." Lan Murian frowned and said softly.

Mu Zhian heard this and nodded silently.

What Lan Murian said was exactly what he was wondering in his heart.

Why does a person who exudes the breath of the living call himself a 'dead person'?

Could it be that the ancestor of the Lan family is the same as him?

At this time, Lan Mulian beside him looked at Mu Zhian, her red lips slightly opened, as if she wanted to ask something.

Why did Junior Brother say that he was also a 'dead person'?

She wanted to ask, but finally held back.

Mu Zhian turned her head and looked behind her. On Taichu Lake, the pleasure boat was like a stone thrown into the lake. The whole pleasure boat rippled like ripples. The next moment, the ancient ship had disappeared from sight.

"Senior sister, since you can see through the origin of all things, can you see through the secrets of me?"

After being silent for an unknown period of time, Mu Zhian asked.

Lan Mulian stared at Mu Zhian silently, then shook her head and said: "You have been shielded from the secrets of heaven, and no breath fluctuations can be seen from you."

Sure enough...

Mu Zhian was as expected.

He was shielded from the secrets of heaven in order to conceal his presence from the heavenly way of Jiuzhou.

Because of what happened tonight, the two of them naturally had no mood to go to Taichu Lake again.

Mu Zhian was worried all the way and left Taichu Lake with Lan Murian.

"What's wrong? Did my sister just teach him a lesson? Why does he look so bad?"

When passing by a palace, a woman in a red dress came in the dim light. She had soft eyes and saw that Mu Zhian looked absent-minded, so she couldn't help asking.

Lan Murian glanced at her sister and roughly explained what happened before.

"An ancestor who should have died appeared alive on Taichu Lake?"

Lan Feiying subconsciously glanced at Mu Zhian and instantly understood why he was so worried.

"Since the ancestors have left, it's useless to think about these things now. Cheer up and we will go to Taichu Lake to investigate tomorrow night." Lan Feiying said softly.

"Since your sister comforts you, cheer up early."

Sniffing the sweet fragrance wafting from the tip of his nose, Mu Zhian slowly came out of his thoughts and said softly: "Sister Feiying treats me so well."

Lan Feiying glanced at Mu Zhian charmingly, and then, as if she remembered something, she hesitated and said in a voice transmission: "Xue Yi escaped from my ring not long ago."

Mu Zhian was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Lan Feiying.

The fourth pillar god of the Southern Wilderness left the body of Lan Feiying, the chosen one...?

Could it be that Xue Yi also knew that they were guarding against her?

But with only a trace of spiritual consciousness, where could Xue Yi go?

Mu Zhian quickly gathered his thoughts and smiled, "I'm afraid that relying on Sister Feiying alone will not be enough to comfort me completely."

Lan Feiying glared at him, "What do you want?"

Mu Zhian put one hand around his sister's waist and the other hand was holding his sister's hand.

"I need the two of you to heal my soul."

This is the palace used by the Lan family for other guests with extraordinary family backgrounds to live in. At this moment, there are occasionally a few monks passing by. When they see this scene in the dim light, they are all a little more envious and jealous, and they want to kick him away.

"This person is really arrogant. He is so close to the two beauties of the Lan family in the Lan family. Isn't he afraid of being retaliated by other members of the Lan family?"

Three gentle scholars passed by by chance. When they saw this scene, one of the tall and thin white scholars frowned and said.

"First, you should see who those two girls are before you say this." Another young man on the side said lightly.

"Lan Murian... the one next to her is her sister Lan Feiying?" The scholar's face changed, a little surprised.

Not many people know that Lan Feiying and Lan Murian are sisters, which is enough to imagine that the three scholars must have a great background.

"To be so close to the two of them without being disliked, he must be Mu Zhian... It's just like the rumors."

"This person has an inner aura and an extraordinary aura. We can make friends with him if we have the chance." The only young man who didn't speak among the three slowly spoke at this time.

He obviously has the highest status among the three. When he spoke at this moment, the two people next to him couldn't help but nod slightly and agreed with what the young man said.

On the other side, Lan Feiying glanced at the disciples who occasionally passed by the temple without leaving a trace, and couldn't help but glared at Mu Zhian, saying in a tender voice: "Let go quickly."

After breaking free from Mu Zhian's palm, Lan Feiying took her sister's hand and said: "Sister, let's go back to practice first, don't pay attention to him."

"If we go back with him, we don't know what bad ideas he will come up with. Don't let him have the opportunity to be alone with us."

Hearing this, Lan Murian's cold face blushed slightly, as if she remembered the intimate scene with this guy in the painting boat just now. For some reason, when she looked at her sister again, her eyes, which were always clear in the past, were inexplicably guilty.

But fortunately, Lan Feiying didn't notice it, and took her sister's hand to leave.

Mu Zhian didn't stop him much. After all, so many things happened tonight, and he also needed some time to buffer a little.

He retracted his gaze and was about to leave.

"Is this the face of the so-called ancient family in Dongzhou? Others can live here, but I make all kinds of difficulties. Have you ever asked me what I think from the beginning to the end?"

"I don't want to stay in this Lan family's place!"

"But the Lan family bullies others by taking advantage of their power. I will pay back the humiliation today a hundredfold in the future!"

At this time, Mu Zhian seemed to hear a young man's angry voice. He glanced and saw the young man who was confronting two Lan family members not far outside the palace.

Mu Zhian's eyes were more interested.

Isn't this the chosen one that Void Nightmare had secretly followed all the way before?

Although Void Nightmare told him that this person came to the Lan family, Mu Zhian had ignored him because too many things happened recently.

I didn't expect to meet him in this situation.

"How dare you! Mr. Huang, do you really think you can challenge our Lan family?"

"This is the important place of the Lan family. No outsiders are allowed to live here. We are just following orders. If Mr. Huang has any dissatisfaction, you can go to our elders to make suggestions... provided that you can see them."

Not far away, two disciples of the Lan family shouted loudly, with cold faces and high-handedness.

They didn't expect that this country bumpkin who came out of the mountains would have such a strong character and would not tolerate a grain of sand. He actually challenged their Lan family in front of so many people.

It was just to let him change his place of residence so as not to disturb Mr. Mu's peace. Unexpectedly, Huang Weifeng thought they were deliberately making things difficult for him.

Don't say they didn't mean it, even if they really did it on purpose, what would it matter?

Does the Lan family need to explain to a little monk like him when they do things?

In the hall, the members of the Lan family and some monks from other tribes were attracted at this moment, secretly pointing fingers at this young boy.

"Is Huang Weifeng crazy? How dare he run to the Lan family's territory and act wildly?"

"Don't say that the Lan family's disciples are just following orders. Even if they really bully him, what can a casual cultivator do to retaliate against such a huge force as the Lan family?"

Someone on the side started to sneer.

"If it weren't for their reputation, the Lan family would have slapped him to death."

A man who was also a casual cultivator said disdainfully.

He was also a casual cultivator like Huang Weifeng. Now this man ran to the Lan family's territory and made such a big fuss. Maybe it would affect them, the casual cultivators, in the future.

Two elders of the Lan family happened to pass by and also found the commotion here, but did not say anything. Instead, they floated in the air and looked down from a high position.

A mere little cultivator in the Refining Spirit Realm was not worth their effort.

"You said your name is Huang Weifeng, right? Dongzhou has never heard of the name of the Huang clan. If you know what's good for you, get out early. Making trouble here will not do you any good."

In front of the temple, a middle-aged man in charge of the eastern area of ​​the Lan family spoke slowly.

His eyes were deep, his breath was steady, and he exuded a terrifying aura of majesty without anger.

"He is the manager of the East District of the Lan Family, Lan Chuan, a third-grade Return to Void." Lan Feiying whispered in Mu Zhian's ear.

Boom!

At this moment, Huang Weifeng felt a terrifying sense of pressure falling from the air.

This pressure almost made Huang Weifeng's knees fall down.

But he was the chosen one, and he refused to give in even when facing the pressure of the Return to Void Realm, but gritted his teeth.

"I have no intention of offending the Lan Family, but the two disciples of the Lan Family brought me and my friends to this palace, and repeatedly made things difficult for me. Now they say that I am not qualified to live in this palace and want me to move somewhere else. Is the dignified Lan Family so reckless?!"

Huang Weifeng's voice was sonorous and powerful, and his dark eyes were firm and resolute, and he refused to give in at all.

But at the end, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally glanced at the innocent and lovely girl not far away.

She is a beautiful girl with delicate features, pure and gorgeous.

Her hair is smooth, her skin is as white as cream, her eyebrows are as beautiful as a painting, and her eyes are bright and shining.

She looks more ethereal in a white dress, but her beautiful eyes reveal an inexplicable charm, which is very deep.

No wonder Huang Weifeng is so tough. It turns out that he met a woman by chance on the road and doesn't want to lose face in front of her?

Mu Zhian looked at the scene with a playful look, and looked at this pure girl several times.

"Everything is done according to the rules, how can it be said to be reckless?"

Hearing Huang Weifeng's question, the middle-aged man's face suddenly became gloomy.

Huang Weifeng sneered and asked loudly: "You keep saying that you are following the rules, so why didn't you stop the person behind you from entering the palace with your Lan family members?"

"Isn't this just flattering the powerful and forcing your own people into a place of no return?"

When Huang Weifeng asked, many people present had a bit more sarcasm in their eyes.

Having said so much, Huang Weifeng was simply jealous of Mu Zhian. After all, Mu Zhian's realm was similar to his, but he could enjoy such noble treatment and even be intimate with the Lan sisters.

In fact, it was not only Huang Weifeng, but many casual cultivators nearby would be jealous when they saw Mu Zhian hugging the Lan sisters so openly, but they did not dare and were unwilling to show it.

Who would be willing to offend this young adult? He has the support of the Yaochi Holy Land behind him, and he is also an inner disciple of the Liangyi Sect, with a noble status.

Besides, being able to chase the Lan sisters was also Mu Zhian's own ability.

At this moment, many people's eyes were all looking at the young man standing in front of the palace gate with his hands behind his back.

He was wearing a luxurious and steady black robe inlaid with gold and silver threads, with ancient patterns printed on it, and his handsome features seemed to exude a faint charm.

Many female cultivators in the field only took a first glance, and their beautiful eyes instantly glowed with a strange luster, and they stared at him with a bit of obsession.

To outsiders, Mu Zhian was still the same Mu Zhian, but in the eyes of female cultivators, Mu Zhian was like a synonym for "seductive" in their eyes, with an indescribable charm.

The middle-aged man was angry and shouted, "How dare you!"

"Senior Lan Chuan, don't waste your time talking to him. Let me handle this matter, so as to avoid the elders' blame."

At this moment, Lan Qu, the pride of the Lan Clan, took the opportunity to show himself. He raised his hand and offered a bow. The moment he pulled the bowstring, a rune arrow rushed towards Huang Weifeng!

Boom...

The whole space seemed to emit a terrifying sense of oppression.

The arrow exuded a breathtaking brilliance, which moved many people present.

This Lan Qu was serious as soon as he made a move.

In this case, Huang Weifeng might be in trouble...

After all, Lan Qu was an eighth-grade soul refiner, while Huang Weifeng was only a fifth-grade soul refiner.

The gap of three grades was so large that it could not be made up by skills.

"Hmph."

However, at this time, Huang Weifeng looked indifferent, his dark eyes were calm, and he raised his hand to meet the arrow.

Seeing this scene, a noisy whisper came from the hall.

"Is he going to die? Even if he is at the peak of the soul refining, he has to take this attack seriously, but he actually resisted with his bare hands?"

"He is a country bumpkin from a poor village. Huang Weifeng is only at the fifth level of soul refining, but he dared to offend the Lan family. Even if he can survive, Dongzhou will not tolerate him in the future..."

Amidst the discussion, Huang Weifeng suddenly emitted a terrifying golden light.

He suddenly raised his head, his hair flying, and his momentum was even more amazing. He punched out and hit the arrow containing terrifying spiritual energy.

The void shook, Lan Qu's body trembled, his throat felt sweet, and a mouthful of blood spurted out uncontrollably.

Huang Weifeng's body was stained with a layer of golden light, like a young god king, with amazing momentum.

This scene made the voices in the venue fall into silence for a long time.

"Just a fifth-grade refining spirit, it can easily offset the full-strength attack of the eighth-grade refining spirit...?"

After a long time, someone took a breath of cold air, with shock in his eyes.

Not only the people in the hall, but even the two elders in the air, had a bit of surprise in their eyes at this moment.

They just saw that Huang Weifeng was ordinary, and even the physique he possessed was just a waste body that was not adapted to the rules of heaven and earth. Unexpectedly, when he attacked, he actually burst out with such terrifying power?

Only three people in the venue did not have any surprises at this moment.

There is no need to say much about Lan Feiying, she is a chosen person like Huang Weifeng.

And Lan Mulian is a divine body, and she saw Huang Weifeng's clues at a glance.

As for Mu Zhian...

He has killed two chosen people, no matter how powerful the other party's talent is, he will not be surprised.

My evaluation is... he is more pretentious than Ye Yu, but his talent seems to be not as good as Ye Yu...

Mu Zhian looked at this young man with a terrifying holy light with interest.

Compared with Huang Weifeng's talent, he cares more about what the other party's "golden finger" is.

Is it an old man, or a system or something?

"Young friend is really capable."

Lan Chuan stared at this god-like young man with a serious look, and spoke slowly.

It's a pity that there are too many casual cultivators outside this place, otherwise this boy would definitely not be able to stay...

If he takes action, it will inevitably ruin the reputation of the Lan family.

For a mere little cultivator in the spirit refining realm, it's not worth it.

Lan Chuan thought of this and was about to send a message to Lan Qu to use the secret method to capture this boy first.

However, at this time, Mu Zhian had already raised his hand and stretched his waist, looking at the young man under the steps with a smile.

"Today's incident was also caused by Mu. Since Brother Huang is not convinced, then in the world of immortal cultivation, strength is naturally respected."

The moment the voice fell, Lan Chuan's heart tightened, and he hurriedly said: "Mr. Mu, you must not do this!"

Mu Zhian is a guest official of Yao Chi and the husband of the Qing Emperor. If something happens under his nose, who can protect him when the Qing Emperor blames him?

Today, I heard that in the important place of the Lan family, even the elders were scolded by the Qing Emperor and honestly reconciled with the Lan sisters.

"Okay, since Mr. Mu is interested, then Huang is naturally happy to fight with you!"

At this time, Huang Weifeng in the audience immediately ignited the desire to fight, and his heart was secretly excited.

This is a good opportunity to become famous in Dongzhou.

The system he has must be famous. The more famous it is, the more benefits he will get. If he uses Mu Zhian as a stepping stone, his strength will soar a lot after that!

Even though the two realms are very different, he still has the help of the Holy Light Kirin in his body.

Even if he lets it possess his body during the fight, it will not be noticed.

"It seems that you really regard me as a stepping stone?"

Seeing this, Mu Zhian couldn't help but chuckle.

The next moment, a ruler emitting soft light appeared behind him.

He grabbed the measuring ruler and swung it gently.

Boom!

The whole palace erupted with a majestic and terrifying aura, and it seemed that even the void was shaking. Four mysterious and ancient runes appeared behind Mu Zhian.

Some cultivators who were also in the realm of refining the spirit changed their faces drastically, with horror in their eyes.

Even Lan Chuan's eyes were a little more suspicious, staring at Mu Zhian.

Is this really the Refining Spirit Realm... Young Master Mu's strength is no less than that of an ordinary Return to Void Realm.

Huang Weifeng, the person involved, looked even uglier, and shouted in his heart: "Senior Qilin!"

He had a hunch that he would never be able to take this blow.

Mu Zhian, who should have been a 'stepping stone', why did he have such terrifying strength?

According to the oracle of the Heavenly Dao, Mu Zhian should have been just an elite monster for him to grow to the Hedao Realm!

The next moment, the Heavenly Ruler was sacrificed, and the four-character Yuanwen of Lin Bing Douzhe appeared on the Heavenly Ruler, and a part of the spiritual energy in Mu Zhian's body was absorbed in an instant.

"Huang Weifeng is in trouble..." someone suddenly whispered.

Everyone watched the runes bursting out of the Heavenly Ruler cover Huang Weifeng, and thought he would be defeated.

But at this time, the aura on Huang Weifeng suddenly changed.

His realm soared from the fifth level of Refining Spirit Realm to the Return to Void Realm! His body was shining with golden light, and behind him, a noble golden unicorn appeared faintly, with a majestic holy light.

Huang Weifeng raised his hand and grabbed the attacking rune directly, and then gently squeezed it and crushed it into pieces! 】

The wind blew violently, and the whole ground seemed to shake.

"Even Master Mu can't deal with him? If this boy is let go today, I'm afraid there will be endless troubles in the future..."

Lan Chuan looked at this scene, his face changed slightly, and he had already had the intention to kill Huang Weifeng in his heart.

And many cultivators in the hall looked at Huang Weifeng with a little more strangeness in their eyes.

You know, Mu Zhian is at the pinnacle of god refining, and even they thought they could not take the blow just now, but Huang Weifeng defused it so easily.

Mu Zhian may have hit a hard nail this time...

"It's interesting."

Huang Weifeng slowly raised his head, with a majestic golden look in his eyes, like a great power, looking down on all living beings.

"Senior Qilin only gave me part of his power, and I was able to advance to the Return to the Realm for a short time. If I use my power, wouldn't I be able to crush Mu Zhian to death like an ant?"

Huang Weifeng sneered secretly.

However, when he glanced at the place where Mu Zhian was standing just now, he did not see Mu Zhian's figure.

He couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

"Be careful, behind you!" At this time, the voice of Holy Light Qilin came from the bottom of Huang Weifeng's heart.

Huang Weifeng's heart suddenly tightened, he reacted, turned his head suddenly, and saw Mu Zhian behind him.

"Do you really think you are invincible in the Return to Void Realm?"

"genius?"

Mu Zhian hit Huang Weifeng's head with a simple punch, causing Huang Weifeng's head to buzz, and he fell straight to the ground.

Before he could react, Mu Zhian had already landed in front of him, grabbed Huang Weifeng's head with one hand, and then, under the unbelievable gaze of the chosen man, he smashed it to the ground. .

"Are you pretending to be your mother?" Mu Zhian said calmly.

"How is it possible, how is it possible... Isn't he my stepping stone? Why is he so strong..."

Huang Weifeng's eyes were full of disbelief, and he kept shouting for the Holy Light Qilin in his heart, but the senior Qilin who had always been unlucky never said a word.

At this moment, Huang Weifeng's heart was filled with reluctance and shock when he noticed Mu Zhian's condescending gaze, like looking down at ants, and his fists clenched quietly.

Obviously according to Tiandao's script, he should slap the blind people of the Lan family in the face this time, and then take advantage of the situation to defeat Mu Zhian and attract the attention of the two beauties of the Lan family...

But why now...

Mu Zhian didn't care what Huang Weifeng was thinking at the moment and just glanced at him indifferently.

If Huang Weifeng had seen Mu Zhian when he was still in Tianxuan City, he might have been able to slap him in the face as hard as he wished.

However--

The fish in the fish pond will develop, the chosen one will also develop, and he will also develop.

Maybe my 'chosen heroine' can't match the training speed of those 'protagonists', but it's enough to deal with the chosen ones in this world.
