Peerless Xiaolong

Chu Yuan's eyes fell on this old man.

The old man was nearly eighty years old, but he gave off an unfathomably powerful aura.

From his body, there is no frailty that an old man should have at all. On the contrary, he looks very old.

As soon as he appeared, the entire tomb seemed to become even colder.

Zhu Liuying and Leng Bing also sensed the threat, and the two women tightened their weapons.

"Chu Yuan, this old man feels different. He is stronger than anyone I have ever met."

Zhu Liuying has experienced hundreds of battles and can sense the opponent's momentum.

She could tell with just one glance.

Not only that, Leng Bing also felt a threat and couldn't help but load the gun.

……

"Mr. Chen." Seeing the old man, Cao Bao smiled slightly and greeted him respectfully.

Chu Yuan has been looking at the old man who came out.

The aura emanating from his body made Chu Yuan feel unfathomable for the first time.

The old man nodded to Cao Bao. He sat in the wheelchair and looked at Chu Yuan on the stone platform.

"Are you Chen Qiu's son?" the old man suddenly said.

Chu Yuan sat down cross-legged on the stone platform and signaled to the old man: "Since I'm here, you should stop hiding and tell me who you are."

"My name is Cao Gong." the old man replied.

"Cao Gong?"

Chu Yuan muttered silently: "If I guessed correctly, you and Chen Changye have the same genealogy, right?"

Chen Gong did not refute, but nodded and replied: "Yes, your grandfather Chen Changye and I have the same grandfather. However, my father and Chen Changye's father have the same father."

"Everyone originally had the surname Cao, but they changed their surnames because of that thing."

"You are from the Cao family." Chu Yuan said.

"good."

Cao Gong pondered for a moment, then continued: "You should already know that no one knows about the thing that Cao was originally protecting."

"But I overheard this from Chen Changye accidentally, so I leaked the news."

Hearing this, Chu Yuan suddenly realized.

Chen Guo said before that a traitor appeared in the Cao family at that time, and someone leaked the news.

So this traitor is Cao Gong?

Zhu Liuying asked: "Cao Gong, what is this thing you are looking for? What are you doing here?"

Cao Gong was not in a hurry.

And he had no intention of hiding it anymore.

Perhaps in his opinion, Chu Yuan would soon become a dead man.

"I don't know what it is, but this thing is a treasure that can improve my practice more than ten times."

"This thing was hidden by Chen Changye, and I haven't found it until today. However, you, Chu Yuan, have done too many things recently, so I decided to kill you first." Cao Gong pointed at Chu Yuan.

"You have ruined many things for me. If I don't kill you, it is a threat to me."

Chu Yuan smiled and said: "Then before you kill me, can you tell me what you know?"

Cao Gong said: "You saw it when you came here. There are many stones here that you have never seen before. These stones are actually spiritual stones."

"Spirit stone?"

"Yes, the tomb we are in now, I don't know who its owner is, and which dynasty it belongs to, but the murals on it tell me one thing."

Cao Gong thought for a while: "Where should I start talking to you?"

After thinking for a moment, Cao Gong added: "Let's talk about it when Chen Changye and his family separated. I didn't know there was an ancient tomb at the foot of Beiwang Mountain. It wasn't until the Cao Family Ancestral Hall was built that I accidentally discovered it."

"Do you know why Chen Changfeng built the Cao family ancestral hall in Beiwang Mountain?" Cao Gong asked.

Chu Yuan looked at Cao Gong and didn't reply.

Leng Bing urged: "Don't show off, why?"

Cao Gong said: "That's because, before Chen Changye and the others separated, they knew that there was an ancient tomb at the foot of Beiwang Mountain, and the Cao family's ancestral hall was built here to hide it from others."

"Because people named Cao have gone down to this tomb countless times, and that thing was obtained from here."

Saying that, Cao Gong took a deep breath: "At first, I was nothing in the Cao family, and I was not even qualified to know this. I only found out by eavesdropping on their conversation."

Cao Gong pointed to his feet: "After they separated the family, they all changed their surnames. Originally, Chen Changfeng wanted to hide all this, but his three sons were ambitious, so they changed their surnames back to Cao and divided up the family property. .”

"Don't underestimate people like them. They have taken all the treasures in this ancient tomb as their own. It is really unacceptable."

After listening to Cao Gong's words, Zhu Liuying replied: "What do you mean, you hate their behavior?"

"That's natural."

"So, the first time I came to this underground place through the Cao Family Ancestral Hall, I discovered a secret that shocked both heaven and man." Cao Gong said.

He looked at Chu Yuan again and said word by word: "The mural tells a story. This ancient tomb was once the tomb of an ancient cultivator. The tomb is filled with a large number of spiritual stones, which can make people reborn. .”

"For many years, people who know about this matter have traveled thousands of miles to come to this ancient tomb to practice exercises here and transcend life and death."

"Practice." Zhu Liuying pursed his lips and turned to look at Chu Yuan.

As Chu Yuan guessed, these people came here to practice.

In order to pursue the achievements they longed for, they did not hesitate to lay down their lives and die here.

Chu Yuan said: "So you have been practicing here all these years?"

Cao Gong smiled and said: "You are right. After Cao's accident, I went down to the ancient tomb, where I absorbed spiritual energy day and night and used it to reshape myself. It has been more than twenty years now."

"Boy Chu, you should be able to see what makes me different now, right?" Cao Gong opened his arms with a smile on his face.

Chu Yuan nodded: "It can be seen that you have indeed cultivated some skills in the past twenty years. You are still so energetic at the age of eighty."

"Then let me ask you, do you know how many innocent people have been killed by your actions?"

Cao Gong replied: "There is no way. I wholeheartedly want to cultivate to the highest level, but unfortunately, they are unwilling to hand over the things. I asked Cao Bao to kill Chen Changye to give him a long memory."

"Do you know where the thing you are looking for is?" Chu Yuan asked.

"For more than [-] years, I have always believed that Chen Changye would be hiding in the ancient tomb. I asked Cao Bao to search a large number of ancient tombs but could not find it."

"However, I will find this thing sooner or later, but before I find it, I must kill you first, otherwise, you will ruin my business." Cao Gong replied.

"So, Cao Bao has been following your orders all this time. Let me ask you again, is there anyone else behind you?" Chu Yuan asked again.
