Chapter 618: Rising Storm
Lu Liang was almost certain. He secretly whispered in Ye Qingwu's ear, "If I'm not mistaken, Ye Feng must have killed Old Master Liu and then stolen the token that Liu Qingshan kept at home."
"That makes sense," Ye Qingwu suddenly realized.
That explains everything.
Liu Qingshan is the sect leader's benefactor, and the token Ye Feng took out must have been stolen from the Liu family.
"By the way, why doesn't Young Master Liu seek revenge on Ye Feng?" Lü Liang asked Liu Rumei again.
With your strength, killing Ye Feng would be a piece of cake!
Liu Rumei shook her head, her face bitter. "My father just had his funeral, and my son is currently immersed in grief. We'll discuss this further when the older generation of the Liu family returns."
Lü Liang nodded. "That's true."
He then asked, "Senior Liu, isn't Young Master Liu currently at home? May we meet him?"
"Of course, he is observing mourning at the mausoleum."
"Everyone, please follow me!"
Immediately afterwards, Ye Qingwu and the others followed Liu Rumei to the front of the hall.
At this moment, the cries grew louder. Inside the hall was a black coffin, and Liu Qingshan was kneeling in front of it, weeping bitterly.
The entire Liu family was shrouded in a heavy atmosphere of sorrow.
Liu Qingshan didn't even notice when the group from Tianjian Mountain entered the hall.
"Lu Liang of Tianjian Mountain greets Liu Qian...Young Master Liu." Lu Liang, sitting in his wheelchair, spoke first.
"Ye Qingwu of Tianjian Mountain greets Young Master Liu!"
"Greetings, Young Master Liu!"
The people of Tianjian Mountain all bowed to Liu Qingshan.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingshan turned around and was genuinely startled by the large commotion.
Those who can join Tianjian Mountain are all among the strongest. Each of these eighteen people is a genius with exceptional talent!
But why do they respect me so much?
Regardless, Liu Qingshan politely returned the bow, "Greetings, everyone. It is currently the time for my grandfather's funeral. Since you are all here, please offer him some incense."
"Good good!"
Eighteen people lined up, following funeral etiquette, with the family members first paying their respects and then offering incense to the deceased one by one.
Nearly twenty minutes later.
The ceremony is over!
Ye Qingwu said, "Qingshan, may I speak to you in private?"
"Ok!"
Liu Qingshan and the others moved outside the hall.
Seeing their serious expressions, Liu Qingshan asked curiously, "Did you all come here specifically to find me?"
Lu Liang cut to the chase, "Yes, I have a question for you. I wonder if Young Master Liu has been to Shennongjia recently? Do you know anyone named Tantai Shuang?"
Liu Qingshan was taken aback by the question. Of course he knew Tantai Shuang; she was the sect leader of Tianjian Mountain.
She can be considered one of the top experts in the Hidden Sect of Great Xia. Who among the Hidden Sect cultivators doesn't know her? It's just that she doesn't know herself.
Why are these people so respectful to me? Could it be related to Tantai Shuang?
"I know him, I've had the pleasure of meeting him once," Liu Qingshan lied shamelessly.
Upon hearing this, the people from Tianjian Mountain exchanged bewildered glances.
They then bowed together.
"Greetings, Senior Liu!"
"Greetings, Senior Liu!"
"..."
The sudden change in attitude caught Liu Qingshan off guard.
What are these guys up to?
How do you address your senior?
Could there be some misunderstanding?
Liu Qingshan thought for a moment and decided that no matter what, he should try to stabilize the situation first.
"You are all too kind. I have only met your sect leader once, and I cannot accept such a great courtesy from you all." He put on the air of a superior person, bowed slightly, and helped everyone up.
Lu Liang was thrilled to confirm the senior's identity.
It seems there's definitely hope for my cultivation level.
As long as I curry favor with Senior Liu, he will definitely be willing to treat me.
"Senior Liu helped our sect leader break through, how could that be a small matter? You are a great benefactor of our Heavenly Sword Mountain. Please accept my bow again."
After saying that, he bowed again.
At this moment, Liu Qingshan suddenly realized that it was indeed a misunderstanding.
These people mistakenly believe themselves to be some kind of master, which is why they are so respectful to him.
"It's nothing, nothing to mention. It's because your sect leader has such profound resources. I only contributed my meager strength." He waved his hand modestly.
The people of Tianjian Mountain all sighed in admiration, "He truly has the demeanor of a master."
Such a great favor is utterly insignificant in front of Senior Liu.
"Senior Liu, rest assured, you have done my Heavenly Sword Mountain a great favor. You don't need to lift a finger; my Heavenly Sword Mountain will definitely avenge Old Master Liu and kill that bastard Ye Feng," Lü Liang said through gritted teeth.
He had to curry favor with Senior Liu to pave the way for his future treatment.
As long as the senior is happy, his cultivation will recover in no time.
"Yes, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? He's not worthy of your help, senior. Just leave him to Tianjian Mountain," a junior disciple said indignantly.
Liu Qingshan said with difficulty, "Isn't this a bad idea? It will implicate your Tianjian Mountain. After all, the Ye family is quite powerful. Ye Wushuang and other feudal lords have hundreds of thousands of mercenaries. They are not easy to provoke."
"Senior Liu underestimates our Heavenly Sword Mountain."
"A mere few hundred thousand troops are like a few hundred thousand leeks in front of the experts of my Heavenly Sword Mountain. As long as our sect leader gives an order, the Ye family can be wiped out in an instant."
Lü Liang patted his chest, looking proud.
Although it may sound exaggerated, the foundation of Tianjian Mountain is indeed incomparable to that of the Ye family. After all, one is a secular family, while the other is a hidden sect.
If she displeases their sect leader, she can wipe out an entire army by herself with just her sword.
Moreover, there are countless powerful individuals in Tianjian Mountain.
Liu Qingshan was thrilled by the boast he made.
It now seems that even without the older generation of the Liu family taking action, Ye Feng wouldn't survive.
"Very well, I cannot refuse your kind offer. Since you are all willing to do this for me, I thank you."
"Alright, I'll inform the sect leader now and have her send someone down the mountain to kill Ye Feng."
Just as Lü Liang was about to make a move, a deep voice came from outside the door, "No need. The Ye family has gone too far. I will avenge this personally."
Hearing the sound, everyone turned to look.
Suddenly, six elderly men strode in with imposing manners.
The one who spoke was an elderly man at the head of the group. He looked to be in his sixties, but those who knew him knew that he was Liu Chuanhong's father and Liu Qingshan's maternal great-grandfather, Liu Chunfeng.
He was also the previous head of the Liu family, and he was nearly a hundred years old.
He was the one who joined forces with Ye Batian to overthrow the Ji family regime, and he also deserves the greatest credit for killing Ye Wudi.
On either side of him were an elderly man in his nineties and four elderly men of similar age to Liu Chuanhong.
Mr. Tao was among them!
The six men strode through the gate with an imposing aura, instantly filling the surrounding servants with a suffocating pressure.
"This aura is incredibly powerful!"
"So the Liu family has so many top experts. No wonder no one dares to provoke them!"
Sensing this oppressive force, someone among the people from Tianjian Mountain exclaimed in surprise.
The oppressive aura emanating from this person was so strong that even they felt inferior to them, and they couldn't even discern the other party's true cultivation level.
