Volume 1: Crossing Chapter 70: I've Been Targeted for a Long Time
"Myna, why are you squatting at the door in a daze? Come on, come on, we are short of one." The one who greeted the myna was a young girl in body and mind, a strange person who looked like an auntie in age!
Myna nodded helplessly. When he stood up, he saw the young master coming down from upstairs and cursed, "Liar."
Zhang Tianliu smiled and said nothing, then went downstairs to eat.
Although Myna didn't believe the young master on the surface, he couldn't suppress his anticipation in his heart. So he waited at the second-floor door early this morning. As a result, it was already dinner time and the Du family hadn't sent anyone with a gift. If the young master wasn't a liar, what else could he be?
After Zhang Tianliu had his fill, he chatted with Boss Mo about cultivation. When he returned to Tingyu Tower, he was invited upstairs by the uncle.
No one was playing chess at dinner time, and it was very quiet upstairs. The uncle made tea and said, "I just received news that six days ago, the four major sects in the South held a New Hero Conference. It was common for newcomers to compete with each other. This conference is also held every four years to encourage each other. But this time they did not fight, but selected the best through training, and the place for training is Ghost Gate!"
"What are the strengths of these newcomers?" Zhang Tianliu knew very little about the sect.
"I'm not sure, but young people in their twenties, no matter how powerful they are, will not reach the level of returning to the true self. In fact, there are many geniuses in the secular world who are not weaker than them. Most of them have reached the fifth or sixth level of awakening, and some can even reach the seventh level."
Zhang Tianliu said: "It cannot be judged by cultivation. The big sects have a profound foundation, and the magic weapons, rare treasures and elixirs can all improve strength, and it is exaggerated, but it has nothing to do with me."
"Zong Tianfu will enter Wushan in the name of protecting the secular world. In fact, they have discovered you a long time ago. They have not taken action because they are afraid of strange people. In the past year, many strange people have died at the hands of Zong Tianfu, but even more sword guards have been killed by strange people. They will not act impulsively in things they are not sure of. This time, they are well prepared!" After saying that, the uncle had already brewed tea. He first poured a cup for Zhang Tianliu, and then drank it for himself.
Zhang Tianliu drank a sip of tea, pondered for a moment and said, "Those sects have no idea about strange people?"
“Of course not.” The uncle shook his head and smiled, “In fact, they have made an exception and taken in quite a few strange people, including Mr. Rui’s people, but they won’t make it public. It’s impossible for you to join them right now.”
The uncle took a sip of tea and continued, "The court and the major sects have their own rules. I heard that Fengdu Laishan was so angry that it was a warning from the Holy Emperor! The major sects are very afraid of him and dare not blatantly accept strangers. But if Zongtianfu can't find out and has no evidence, they dare not ask the major sects for people. It's a pity that you were found!"
"What is their purpose in taking in strange people?" Zhang Tianliu was very confused. After all, the big sects had a deep foundation. If they wanted to establish a country, why did they need today?
"I say I'm not doing this for money or power, I just want to travel the world."
"It's Tianya again." Zhang Tianliu really couldn't figure out what ? Grass?
In short, the situation is now dangerous again.
Zhang Tianliu had a premonition that his group was too conspicuous to even hide the happenings in the mountain city. Ding Yun knew a lot, and if he was approached by Zong Tianfu, he would definitely tell everything.
As long as we investigate in all directions with Lianshan as the center, we will soon know his whereabouts.
However, during this year, Zong Tianfu has indeed kept a low profile, knowing that aliens are not easy to mess with, so he could take advantage of them at the beginning, but as time went on, the more terrifying the aliens became!
I took out my phone and looked at the rankings, and I was almost at the bottom of the list!
"I think I'm great, but actually I'm just trash." Zhang Tianliu said self-deprecatingly.
The uncle smiled and said, "My wife and I are not much better, but this is life. No matter what the Ghost Gate has to do with the Alien Gate we came from, my wife and I will not leave Wushan Town. We have been running around for half a year and are exhausted. It's rare to have a place to stay. What are we going out to do? Fight and kill? That's what young people do. Let's play cards and chat. Isn't that quite pleasant?"
The implication is that he doesn't want to get involved!
Because only Zhang Tianliu was exposed! He and his wife were not exposed.
Whether Zhang Tianliu resists or escapes, they will not interfere.
It sounds cruel, but it is actually right.
You can't ask others to work for you just because they are different people. They just want to live a good life and enjoy the rest of their lives.
If Zhang Tianliu had any humanity left, he would not drag them into this, because they are innocent.
What's more, this is a matter of life and death. Pulling people into the water is like finding someone to fold your quilt with. If you have any grudges, you can pull them in. It has nothing to do with us how many people you pull, but we have no grudges, and what's more, we can't fight and can't help you.
Zhang Tianliu was very tactful and said with a smile: "Just live your life as you should. When they come, the worst that can happen is that you will die."
"Dead!" The uncle was a little surprised and frowned, "You don't look like someone who would sit there and wait for death. You didn't fake your death, did you? It's useless. Zong Tianfu has the alien's cell phone. Through the three lists, they can confirm whether you are dead or not. Before, an alien tried to fake his death to escape, but he really died."
"I wouldn't do such a stupid thing." Zhang Tianliu smiled, stopped explaining, finished his tea, got up and left.
For two consecutive days, Zhang Tianliu noticed many unfamiliar faces coming to his Tingyu Tower to play cards.
Although he is terrible at playing cards, he enjoys the game very much. He stays for a whole day and orders takeout for all three meals.
Among these people, there are some old customers who have been here for two or three months, making it difficult to guess whether they have any relationship with Zong Tianfu.
Zhang Tianliu didn't care, he continued to live his life as usual without any changes.
After waiting for another two days, people from the four major sects appeared in Wushan Town.
Soon after, a figure wearing a dark green cloak also appeared in Wushan Town.
"Tingyu Tower! Is this opened by a stranger? Is he alone? Why hasn't he taken action yet?"
"I think so too. You guys are mobilizing so many troops just for a stranger. I am ashamed of it, but I am."
Someone retorted: "Yin Runan is also a person, why don't you go find him?"
"You!" The patrol officer who spoke earlier suddenly turned pale.
The person who refuted the argument said aggressively, "Yin Runan ranks among the top three lists, and his combat power is the best so far. You dare not take it for granted. And the owner of Tingyu Tower is a young master at the bottom of the three lists. Apart from being good at scheming, he has no real strength. You can go and give it a try."
"Do you think I'm stupid? This man topped the rankings for six days when he left Lianshan. Based on this, the turmoil in Lianshan must have been planned by him. The Mandarin Duck Blades will definitely fall into his hands. I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid that he will use the blades to escape. Where can I find him in the vast sea of fog?"
"So, we have to set up a trap to make it difficult for him to escape."
A female inspector asked, "What is his ability?"
"I'm not sure, but I heard recently that he cured a young man with damaged tendons. I think it's a healing ability."
"I think that's right. Apart from displaying this skill, there is no other record of this person's unique abilities. His low combat power has a lot to do with this."
"You don't even need to tell me. If it weren't for the fact that he had practiced martial arts, possessed true qi and the mandarin duck double blades, we would have killed him long ago."
Everyone discussed it for a long time, and only started to implement the plan at dusk.
It was pitch dark in Wushan Town late at night in summer. Zong Tian and his group, who were in disguise, passed by a wishing tree. The woman in the lead sold a wishing lantern to the tree lady.
The tree lady took the money with a smile, gave the lamp, and said with a smile: "Be careful!"
"Don't worry, grandma. I know your old rules and won't damage your things." After hanging up the wishing lantern, the woman called for everyone to walk towards Tingyu Tower.
But Granny Tree's smile remained the same, and she said, "I'm talking about you!"
The woman was stunned, then ignored the tree lady and went straight upstairs.
