That's What Villains Are Like

The burly old man's body and soul were destroyed, and the "secret realm of time and space" he had arranged also collapsed without a doubt.

Time and space are turbulent, ripples are spreading, towering and majestic mountain walls are exploding, and the aftermath is sweeping in all directions, like a big storm.

Then, Jiang Lan caught Murong Qiutang from the rift in time and space and took her back to the ancient warship.

A lot of people were lost in this accident, and most of them looked in shock at this moment.

The incarnation of Shi Zhongtian's obsession had not dissipated, and then he returned to the ancient warship with the pale Luo Guyun, and then looked at Jiang Lan, as if he had something to say to him.

Upon seeing this, Murong Qiutang reacted and immediately cleared the surrounding area and asked the others to retreat.

After all, what happened just now is indeed deeply involved, and even involves an outside world lord. If word spreads, it will easily lead to panic and confusion...

Although many powerful men from the Gouchen Palace and the Immortal Alliance did not know what happened, they all retreated wisely. Murong Qiutang also ordered his men to land the ancient warship and return to the ancient planet Manduo.

"Today's matter, I have to thank you, Young Master, for your help. The entire Shi clan is deeply grateful for such kindness."

Although Shi Zhongtian was once the head of an immortal family, he was reduced to such a situation, and he could understand the situation clearly, and his attitude towards Jiang Lan seemed to be very respectful.

Luo Guyun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but he wisely shut up.

"The Shi clan is no longer here. If the old clan master wants to express his gratitude for this kindness, then he can thank Qiu Tang. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have been able to go against a Realm Lord." Jiang Lan waved his hand.

After finishing the instructions, Murong Qiutang, who had returned, felt moved again when he heard this.

Shi Zhongtian sighed, "No matter what the reason is, Young Master helped my grandson overcome this difficulty. This is a fact. The Shi clan owes Young Master a debt of gratitude."

Hearing this, Luo Guyun clenched his fists, and then weakly separated them.

Although he was unwilling to accept and admit it, this was indeed the truth.

Jiang Lan said noncommittally, "Although you say so, I will never interfere in any affairs of your Shi Clan again. You don't have to think about it. Let me help protect your grandson, let him grow up, and help the Shi Clan avenge. I will also I don’t have the interest or time.”

"Now, my grandfather is in contact with some realm lords from the Great Thousand Worlds of Heaven. If he learns that I offended the realm lords of the Amitabha Ancient Realm because of your clan, he will probably be punished later..."

Shi Zhongtian was startled. He was just the incarnation of an obsession. Although he learned what happened to Luo Guyun in a short period of time, he was actually not very clear about the current situation in the world.

Judging from Jiang Lan's words, his grandfather should be the strongest person in this world?

He suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and felt relieved. If this was the case, then things would be easier to handle.

Shi Zhongtian was actually worried about the world lord of the Ancient Amitabha Realm, so he continued to send people to sneak over to capture Luo Guyun and kill them all.

But the number one master in this world is Jiang Lan's biological grandfather, which means that Luo Guyun's future safety is greatly guaranteed.

"Don't worry, young master, I have dominated the ancient world of Mi Tuo for many years. Although my body is dead and my mind has disappeared, only a trace of obsession remains in the world, but I will definitely keep my words."

"The Realm Master of the Ancient Amitabha Realm designed to frame our Shi Clan because he coveted the heart of time and space, a sacred object left by the ancestors of our Shi Clan. During the Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth, the heavens were in turmoil, countless worlds and time and space were shattered, and our Shi Clan was With this sacred object, the ancestors of the clan helped many ethnic groups and traditions to hide in the deepest levels of time and space and avoid difficulties, and suffered boundless cause and effect for this."

"Now, in the ancestral temple of our clan, the holy slips left by our ancestors have manifested themselves. For some reason, they were noticed by Lord Amitabha. He speculated that our ancestors may be trapped in the time river tidal flat somewhere in the future time and space, unable to return."

"For so many years, the ancestors of our clan have been trying to contact our clan. The appearance of the holy slip is a sign. I hate that the Lord of Amitabha Realm coveted the heart of time and space, pretended to marry our clan, and said on the surface that he would help our clan. When he returned from helping his ancestors escape from trouble, he actually used various means to deduce the whereabouts of his ancestors and laid out many means to seize our clan's sacred objects..."

Shi Zhongtian didn't hold back, his face was full of grief, anger and hatred, and he told the truth about the causes and consequences of the Shi clan's destruction.

The Heart of Time and Space is actually not a sacred object belonging to one ethnic group of the Time Clan, but a sacred object shared by both the Time Clan and the Kong Clan.

The origin of this object is extremely mysterious. It probably came from the deepest depths of chaos and was born before the world.

It contains all the truths and secrets of time and space in the world, and can be said to be the general outline and essence of the development of time and space.

The real Kong Clan has been destroyed due to some reasons. On the ruins of the clan, the inexplicable power infection caused the birth of the Sky Devouring Clan.

The Time Clan and the Sky-Eating Clan can be said to be mortal enemies.

Jiang Lan listened to this without making any comments, just thinking about whether it was true or false.

It would be impossible for an old fox like Shi Zhongtian to tell the whole truth.

"In order to fight against the great catastrophe of heaven and earth, in order to seek for a chance of life, and to preserve the fire of hope, the ancestors of our tribe and the leaders of each tribe took part of the inherited treasures of each tribe and stored them at a certain node in endless time and space for later use. In the future, if something unexpected happens, we will have a chance to make a comeback."

"This treasure is called the Treasure House of Ten Thousand Tribes. The leaders of all tribes have a copy of the key to unlocking it. The key held by my Shi Clan is in the secret treasure of my Shi Clan. Lord Amitabha wants to capture Gu Yun. In fact, it is also to find the secret treasure through his bloodline..."

Seeing Jiang Lan's silence, Shi Zhongtian didn't waste any time and then revealed an even more shocking secret.

This matter is the top secret of the Shi clan, not even his daughter knows about it.

If he steps down as the head of the family and passes on to others, he will have to cut off the relevant memories from his mind according to the ancestral teachings and erase all traces of cause and effect.

And Lord Amitabha must have noticed it when he was searching for his soul fragments afterwards, otherwise it would be impossible not to leave the direct descendants of the Shi clan behind.

"The secrets of our clan were opened by our ancestors. They are also hidden in the depths of time and space with the supreme magical power of our clan. They are used as supplies for recuperation after the great catastrophe. Among them are the treasures that our clan has collected over millions of years. and endless wealth.”

"With this wealth, it is enough for an ordinary ancient family to rise rapidly in a short period of time and stand at the top of all clans."

Shi Zhongtian said this, actually for Luo Guyun's consideration. After all, if you want to open the Shi Clan's secrets, you have to rely on the Shi Clan's direct bloodline.

If Jiang Lan wants to get this part of the secret, and even the key to the treasure house of all races, he must ensure that Luo Guyun is not captured by Lord Amitabha.

"It's really a cunning rabbit with three burrows. In order to leave the fire, they all have so-called treasure houses and secrets."

Jiang Lan smiled and thought of the upcoming Star Martial Secret Library, which was also the back-up left by the ancient Star Sect to deal with the catastrophe.

At this time, Zhongtian's calculations were quite loud. After talking so much, there was no effective news.

He just told him that if he wanted to get that part of the secret, he had to ensure Luo Guyun's safety.

Unfortunately, he forgot one thing, that is, the Realm Lord can find the secret treasure through the blood of the Time Clan, and Jiang Lan can naturally do the same.

"According to the ancestral teachings, the location of the secret cannot be told to anyone except the next clan leader, but Lord Amitabha probably already knows about this, so I went against the ancestral teachings and told the young master this." Shi Zhongtian said.

He believed that no one would not be moved after learning this.

The resources in the world are barren, the inheritance is cut off, and there is a lack of various foundations.

Any secret treasure is extremely precious and important to the current world.

When Luo Guyun and Murong Qiutang heard these words, they were actually very shocked.

Especially Luo Guyun, he wanted to find that secret treasure now and rely on the resources and wealth in it to rise rapidly. He was fed up with such a weak and dependent life.

"When the old master said this, in the end, you still need me to protect your grandson and keep him safe. When he takes the secret treasure, will I tell you the difference? In my opinion, you are a white wolf with nothing. It’s no different from the Sky Devouring Clan member sent by the Realm Lord.” Jiang Lan said lightly.

Shi Zhongtian's expression remained the same, without any unnaturalness, and he said again, "Master, please rest assured, I will make my grandson make an oath to heaven. Anything in that secret treasure can be claimed by the master..."

"Haha, Master Shi, I'm afraid you have forgotten something. You told me this, and if I capture your grandson, won't that secret treasure still be mine?" Jiang Lan suddenly stared at him sharply.

At this moment, Luo Guyun only felt a terrifying aura that was as heavy as Mount Tai, enveloping him, making his face turn pale and almost out of breath.

Murong Qiutang's expression also changed slightly, a little worried.

"Since I would say this to the young master, I must believe in the young master's character."

However, Shi Zhongtian's expression remained unchanged and he said, "Young Master has great fortune and a bright future. How could he commit such a villainous act as killing people and seizing treasures just because of this little secret?"

Having said this, he looked at Murong Qiutang again and said, "The young master and Guyun's nominal mother in this world, Miss Qiutang, are in love with each other and have deep feelings. Even for Miss Qiutang's sake, I think it must be I won’t embarrass Gu Yun.”

"In terms of seniority, Gu Yun has to call the young master uncle."

When Luo Guyun heard this, his face suddenly turned purple, and he felt extremely humiliated. However, these words were said by his own grandfather, and he could not refute them.

"Master Shi, aren't you afraid of trusting the wrong person?" Jiang Lan smiled lightly as if he didn't care about the flattery.

"If I really saw the wrong person, I can only admit that I am blind." Shi Zhongtian said.

Jiang Lan's heart was as bright as a mirror. He didn't believe this old guy's lies at all.

The reason why he is not afraid of him taking action against Luo Guyun is most likely because he feels that it is impossible for him to have the means of that world lord, and he can find the location of the Time Clan's secret treasure just by relying on Luo Guyun's bloodline.

This son of fate was in conflict with him. Even if he saved his life today, he didn't necessarily feel grateful. Instead, he held a grudge.

It's hard to guarantee that Shi Zhongtian didn't leave any other back-up plan on Luo Guyun except this incarnation of his obsession.

"That's all thanks to the old family master's trust." Jiang Lan didn't say anything else.

Shi Zhongtian also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at Luo Guyun, with a serious face and said, "I am about to disappear. From now on, Guyun, you will treat this young master as a leader and don't have childish thoughts anymore." , you are the last hope of our Shi clan. You must know that the ancestor just disappeared and never died. If the ancestor returns, with his own methods, he may be able to retrieve the dead Shi clan members from the long river of time... …”

"We can meet again when the time comes."

"grandfather……"

Upon hearing this, Luo Guyun's eyes immediately filled with tears, and sadness suddenly emerged in his heart.

Later, Shi Zhongtian asked Luo Guyun to make an oath of heaven in front of Jiang Lan about what he had just promised.

"Sir, can you give me some time to spend with my grandson?"

Finally, he looked at Jiang Lan again, and a faint but bright light emerged from between his eyebrows, turning into a fine diamond-shaped rune and solidifying in the void.

"This thing contains my experience and knowledge when I first broke through to the supreme realm, as well as my grasp and understanding of the way of time and space. At present, there is no other thing that can express my gratitude to the young master. I can only give this thing to the young master to express my feelings. I hope that the young master can Take it.”

"grandfather……"

Luo Guyun was a little reluctant to part with it, and didn't understand that his grandfather didn't want to leave such a precious thing to him, but actually planned to give it to Jiang Lan.

Jiang Lan stared at the diamond-shaped rune filled with fluctuations in time and space for a moment, then smiled, reached out to take it, and said, "Old Patriarch Shi has his heart, but I would be disrespectful."

Shi Zhongtian seemed to really feel relieved, but his face became much lighter, as if it would disappear at any time.

Jiang Lan got the benefit, so he naturally took Murong Qiutang away with him and gave Shi Zhongtian and Luo Guyun a chance to be alone.

He did not spy secretly with his spiritual thoughts. After all, there was a supreme being in front of Shi Zhongtian, and he might even be about to enter the realm of heaven and man. He was not completely sure that he would not be found out by spying secretly.

Soon, the ancient warship slowly descended from the sky above the ancient star Manduo. Murong Qiutang had already contacted his tribe and greeted him outside Gusu City.

The entire street was cleared. Pedestrians and traveling merchants were all blocked by members of the Murong family, making it appear very empty.

Many ethnic groups and forces in Mantuogu Star have been alarmed for a long time. The banners of the Immortal Alliance fluttered in the sky, attracting attention.

As Jiang Lan appeared and walked out, bursts of cheers and excitement erupted outside Gusu City.

"Great, the Young Leader of the Immortal Alliance is here..."

"We are saved."

"Star Mantuogu is safe, there is no need to worry about invasion from Yingzhao Star Territory."

Many monks and creatures were cheering and excited.

In their eyes, Jiang Lan was already the same as a saint. With him in charge of Mantuo Ancient Star, they no longer had to worry.

All the elders and high-ranking members of the Murong family, as well as several of the ancestors of the foundation level, showed up and waited early to greet him, with flattering smiles on their faces.

Murong Qiutang followed Jiang Lan closely, with a smile of relief on her charming face.

"I've met the Young Alliance Leader, I've met the Master of the Family..."

Many elders of the Murong family bowed respectfully and did not dare to show any slight.

Jiang Lan just nodded slightly.

"Young leader doesn't like these red tapes, so go back to your clan first."

When Murong Qiutang returned to Mantuo Ancient Star, she regained her previous demeanor as Queen Mantuo. She was dignified and cool, with a sense of nobility and elegance in her behavior, and she began to give orders.

It was equivalent to Jiang Lan being invited to Mantuogu Star by her, which naturally increased her power.

Even the ancestors with the highest status in the clan looked at her politely and did not dare to show any contempt.

"Grandfather actually meant this..."

Luo Guyun only came down after everyone left the ancient warship. When he returned to the place where he had lived for more than ten years, his emotions were completely different from before.

He calmed down his despairing mood and thought of the few instructions his grandfather had given him before the incarnation of his obsession dissipated, with a bitter look on his lips.

Both sides of the street were very lively, full of monks and living beings. It was a sea of ​​people and an unprecedented grand occasion.

Everyone was welcoming Jiang Lan's arrival, extremely excited and excited, with eyes full of reverence.

But no one paid attention to him. Even Murong Qiutang's eyes were always glued to Jiang Lan and never left for a moment.

Feeling lonely, melancholy and unwilling, Luo Guyun didn't know how he returned to the Murong family and his courtyard.

His most valued confidant, Xiao Mazi, didn't know what happened in Gouchen Palace, and kept talking in his ears about how lively Mantuogu Star was today.

There were countless big shots in Gusu City. Almost all the top leaders of ethnic groups and forces rushed over after hearing the news, wanting to see Jiang Lan. Their words were full of admiration and admiration...

Luo Guyun was upset and drove him out.

The Murong family was really lively today, even the corridors were hung with lanterns, and in preparation for the reception banquet, all kinds of good wine and food were prepared.

Luo Guyun kept himself locked in the courtyard, still distracted by his grandfather's last instructions. When the maid came to ask him to attend the banquet, he came to his senses and followed her.

The largest courtyard of the Murong family is filled with green bamboos and green willows. The mist flows gently like gauze. The banquet is placed here and it is very lively.

When Luo Guyun arrived, he saw Murong Qiutang who was sitting with Jiang Lan.

She was dressed up, with a soft face and some blush. She put down her hand to pour wine for him, then picked up the jade chopsticks, picked up the dishes, and fed them to Jiang Lan's mouth. Her behavior could be described as extremely intimate.

At the banquet, important figures from all ethnic groups came with their wives.

There were many beautiful women, some of whom were rare and stunning in the world. When they looked at this scene, they all showed envy.

Murong Qiutang seemed to want to show everyone her close relationship with Jiang Lan through this move.

Luo Guyun's heart tugged hard, then he lowered his head and found a seat to sit down.

During the incident during the day, Jiang Lan saved Murong Qiutang because of him, and for this he offended a Realm Lord.

Which woman wouldn't be moved by this?

It can be said that this incident brought the relationship between Murong Qiutang and Jiang Lan closer.

Luo Guyun didn't want to admit it, but he had to admit that Jiang Lan was really good at handling women.

Murong Qiutang, a cold and dignified woman, also threw herself into her arms.

Drinking wine one after another could not extinguish the sorrow in his heart. Later, Luo Guyun did not remember how much he drank. He only remembered that Murong Qiutang had been pouring wine and serving food to Jiang Lan, but his eyes never fell on him. His corner.

When the banquet was over, it was already after Xu time. The moon was rising above the willow branches, and the big shots from all walks of life also took their leave one after another.

The drunk Luo Guyun did not let the maid support him and walked to the courtyard alone.

However, on the way, he didn't know whether it was some mistake or something, or maybe he had a lot of things to say to Murong Qiutang, so he headed towards the courtyard where she usually rested.

"Tui'er, does this look good?"

But as soon as he arrived outside the courtyard, he heard the gentle words coming from them. Compared to the past, they seemed to have some shyness that only comes from a young daughter's family.

Luo Guyun's whole body trembled, feeling that he had sobered up a lot from the wine.

Cui'er is Murong Qiutang's personal maid. He often calls her sister, so it's obvious who the other voice is.

"The patriarch has a pretty face and looks good in anything he wears. But is this outfit a little too thin? Isn't the inner garment made of crocodile yarn a little too slutty? The skin is exposed..."

"What debauchery, Tweety, what are you talking about?"

Murong Qiutang's voice was rarely shy, as if he was reaching out to pinch his ears.

"The patriarch doesn't usually wear these. Are you tonight..."

"Shut up, big or small."

"Hehe, I understand. I will serve the patriarch to bathe and change clothes. Don't keep him waiting for a long time..."

The sound faded away.

Luo Guyun felt dizzy, his mouth was dry, and his throat was very hot.

Who is Murong Qiutang doing tonight?
