Chapter 147 The Wang Family Shaken
With a little excitement, Chu Yunfan opened Wang Qifeng's storage ring.
As soon as it was turned on, a blinding light pierced into Chu Yunfan's consciousness.
Upon closer inspection, Chu Yunfan realized...
The source of the light was actually a mountain of spirit stones.
A rough count suggests at least 100,000 spirit stones.
Beside this pile of spirit stones, Chu Yunfan also discovered another pile of spirit stones that were smaller in size but larger in number and more crystal clear in texture.
This pile of spirit stones is of medium grade, and there are about a thousand of them. According to the ratio of 1:100 for medium grade spirit stones and 1:100 for low grade spirit stones, this pile of medium grade spirit stones is equivalent to 100,000 low grade spirit stones.
Moreover, this was just spirit stones. Subsequently, Chu Yunfan found a high-grade spirit weapon-level longsword in his storage ring.
This high-grade spiritual weapon longsword, converted into low-grade spirit stones, is worth about 300,000.
In addition, Chu Yunfan also found several bottles of fourth-tier pills in his storage ring.
There are fourth-tier healing pills, fourth-tier detoxification pills, and even a bottle of precious fourth-tier spirit-restoring pills.
The so-called Spirit Restoration Pill is a pill that, when taken, can quickly restore the spiritual power within a Martial Venerable Realm expert.
This elixir may be useless under normal circumstances, but if you encounter an evenly matched enemy, it will be like a second life in a prolonged battle.
Besides these, the storage ring contained only some miscellaneous items.
Although one of them is a martial arts technique, and a high-level Earth-rank technique at that, it is a sword technique, namely the "Overlord Sword Technique" passed down by the Wang family.
Of course, the "Overlord Blade Technique" in the storage ring was just a handwritten copy, containing only the moves and actions, but not the true essence.
The true "Overlord's Blade Technique" is hidden deep within the Wang family.
Chu Yunfan used a sword, so this knife technique was useless to him, and he didn't pay any attention to it.
Overall, he was very satisfied with what he had gained today.
With the addition of the high-grade defensive inner armor worn by Wang Qifeng, Chu Yunfan has already obtained more than one million low-grade spirit stones.
One million—that number is undoubtedly enormous.
Take Lin Qianqian's family as an example. After decades of development, the entire family doesn't even have a million spirit stones.
Chu Yunfan obtained it all at once, which made him sigh:
"Indeed, a man cannot get rich without unexpected wealth, and a horse cannot get fat without night grass."
This means I can skip ten years of hard work.
……
Just as Chu Yunfan was happily counting his spoils, the Wang family of Lianshan City was already in a huge shock.
Because they discovered that Elder Wang Qifeng had suddenly become unreachable.
Moreover, not only the Grand Elder, but also the four Martial Venerable Realm experts he took with him, as well as the four teams, have all disappeared without a trace.
The Wang family dared not imagine what this situation meant.
Finally, Wang Wenbo, the head of the Wang family, decided to send Wang family spies from the outer perimeter of the Shanlianshan mountain range into the mountains to investigate.
However, the result that followed was unacceptable to them.
Because all the scouts found was the body of Elder Wang Qifeng.
As for the others, not even their bodies were found.
At that moment, the Wang family felt as if the sky had fallen!
Everyone stared at the corpse lying on the floor in the hall, their eyes filled with panic and confusion.
The Wang family, who had always been accustomed to bullying others, now appeared as helpless as children who had lost their mother.
Even Wang Wenbo, the head of the Wang family, felt a chill in his heart at this moment.
In his view, with the Grand Elder taking action, success should be achieved swiftly and easily.
But the result was that he died on the battlefield.
With the death of the Grand Elder, the Wang family lost a pillar of support.
In addition, there are the other six Martial Venerable Realm experts who recently died.
The entire Wang family has lost one-third of its fighting strength.
It can be said that the losses were quite severe.
At this moment, Wang Wenbo was completely bewildered and had no idea what to do next.
Just then, someone suddenly said weakly:
"Patriarch, why don't we ask the Ancestor to come out of seclusion?"
Upon hearing the words "Ancestor," the eyes of all the Wang family members lit up again, and they stared intently at Wang Wenbo, eager to know his decision.
As for Wang Wenbo, when he heard the words "ancestor," his previously bewildered mind seemed to suddenly clear up, and he began to think again.
A moment later, Wang Wenbo's eyes narrowed, as if he had made up his mind. Without saying a word, he left the hall without looking back.
Soon after, Wang Wenbo appeared underground in the Wang family compound.
A narrow passageway, dim lighting, and a dusty stone door.
Wang Wenbo stood in front of the stone gate, pacing back and forth, but he couldn't bring himself to knock on it.
Just then, an aged voice suddenly came from behind the stone door.
"Is that Bo'er? Come in!"
Upon hearing this voice, Wang Wenbo froze on the spot.
Immediately afterwards, he turned around and pressed the mechanism next to the stone door.
With a rumbling sound, the stone gate slowly rose.
An elderly man with graying white hair and beard appeared in Wang Wenbo's line of sight.
The old man was somewhat withered and looked frail, as if he might be buried at any moment.
Upon seeing the old man's condition, Wang Wenbo was overwhelmed with grief. He knelt on one knee, his eyes filled with tears, and choked out:
"Ancestor, your unfilial descendant, Wang Wenbo, has come to beg for forgiveness!"
This old man was none other than the ancestor mentioned by the Wang family, the founder of the Wang family, and the first person to lead the Wang family to rise to prominence, Wang Bayi.
Wang Bayi has lived for over a thousand years. However, he is nearing the end of his lifespan.
Therefore, for the past few decades, he has been in seclusion, trying to break through to the Martial King realm and be reborn.
However, breaking through to the Martial King realm is not so easy.
The character "王" (king) carries too many meanings.
Talent, opportunity, and hard work.
Lacking any one of these elements, one cannot become a Martial King realm expert.
The reason Wang Wenbo was so agitated at this moment was because Wang Bayi's current appearance clearly told him that he had failed to break through to the Martial King realm.
This also means that Wang Bayi will soon leave this world and the Wang family.
This made matters worse for the Wang family, who had already suffered heavy losses.
Before Wang Wenbo arrived, he had prepared his words countless times, but now they were stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them no matter what.
However, compared to Wang Wenbo's excitement...
At this moment, Wang Bayi appeared unusually calm, and his tone was very indifferent:
"Bo'er, you are now the head of the family, you should have some backbone."
Such weeping and wailing is beneath the dignity of the Wang family.
"Tell me what's wrong, take your time."
Upon hearing Wang Bayi's words, Wang Wenbo immediately stopped crying and said:
"Our ancestor is right!"
After finishing his sentence, Wang Wenbo began to talk about what had recently happened to the Wang family.
After Wang Wenbo finished speaking, the entire secret room fell into an eerie silence.
It was only after a long time that Wang Bayi let out a sigh.
"I have said before that low-key development is the way of the Wang family."
Acting ostentatiously will only lead to destruction.
I didn't expect you wouldn't have listened to a word I said. Sigh!
Upon hearing Wang Bayi's sigh, Wang Wenbo, who was kneeling on the ground, immediately kowtowed heavily to the ground and confessed:
"It is because the descendants are unfilial and have failed to listen carefully to the teachings of their ancestors!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Bayi did not reprimand Wang Wenbo, but simply sighed again and said:
"The mountain ranges have buried too many members of the Wang family."
You don't need to go and die.
"Let this old man, half-buried in the ground, go in your place!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a ripple spread through the air, and Wang Bayi's figure disappeared into the secret room.
Wang Wenbo remained kneeling on the ground, staring in the direction of the secret room's exit, silent for a long time.
