Although this news has been spread, for now, it is only known to the forces near the East China Sea... For example, the major forces in the interior of Dragon Kingdom, Fuso mainland and Southeast Asia have not yet received the news.
There is a time difference issue...
Compared with the Taoist sect in Fuso and the strong heritage of many ancient sects in the interior of Dragon Kingdom that have been passed down for hundreds of thousands of years, those near the East China Sea are much weaker. They are just like Chen Liang and the others who are in the same position now.
.
Once the news was fully exposed, their plan to get a share of this ruins was completely ruined.
Therefore, they chose to catch all the explorers who went out to sea, cover up the news as much as possible, and let them make another profit first... As for the joining of major forces in the future, that is beyond their control.
However, these people may not know that among the entire expedition team, only four of them, Qin Fang and the others, were able to come out alive in the end. It was basically difficult for the others to survive, including Song Zhiwei of the Yunhai Sect and others.
people……
Although Qin Fang killed more than a dozen Fuso Ninjas, there were still many Fuso Ninjas left on the island. However, Qin Fang did not have time to clean them up one by one. Most of these people would not spare Song Zhiwei and others. Naturally, they survived.
The probability is also quite low.
It is precisely because of this that Chen Liang and the others are the only survivors. Once this news is exposed, they will be the "treasures" that everyone will snatch. The consequences... anyone with any brains can imagine it.
Don't expect to be treated like a national treasure. Most of them will be tortured to extract confessions... In the end, they will have no use value and will be a dead end.
"Okay, it's almost time, it's time for us to leave..."
Seeing that these three guys were completely convinced, there was no need to stay any longer. Qin Conveniently greeted them and prepared to leave.
"Yes, uncle..."
At this time, Chen Liang and the others had no other thoughts and immediately followed Qin Fang and left obediently.
"This little friend...stay!"
At this moment, a slightly older man's voice sounded from behind them.
"Old man, what's the matter?"
Qin Fang paused slightly and turned to look at the old man who stopped him with a smile.
To be precise, this is an old Taoist priest, wearing a worn-out Taoist robe, a little slovenly, with gray hair, but his face is as ruddy and delicate as a baby, with almost no wrinkles visible.
But the gray goatee, the flowing white hair, and the long sword on the back really give people a fairy-like feeling...
Of course, if ordinary people meet such an old Taoist priest, they will either regard him as a master of Taoism or a liar... But it is obviously impossible for Qin Fang and the other four people to treat him as ordinary people.
"Jiu Zhirenren..."
Chen Liang, who was standing next to Qin Fang, couldn't help but exclaimed. Although he reacted later and eagerly suppressed his tone, he still said these words.
"I didn't expect that this little friend actually knows the old Taoist..."
The old Taoist priest glanced at Chen Liang lightly and smiled in an extremely indifferent tone. However, his eyes were always focused on Qin Fang, and Chen Liang and the other three were directly ignored by him.
"I didn't expect that my senior is the famous Taoist Master Nine Fingers. I'm disrespectful..."
Qin Fang also called him smoothly at this time, his tone was very polite, and at the same time he began to look at the old Taoist priest in front of him.
Chen Liang and the three of them looked at each other, their expressions were indescribably ugly, and they were also vaguely worried... Qin Fang may not know the name of Master Jiu Zhi, but the three of them are little
The local martial arts people on the island naturally know the great reputation of this old Taoist priest.
There are rumors that this person can be called the number one master on the island... Even the supreme elders of Tiannan Sect and Yunhai Sect combined are no match for him!
This man became famous decades ago. Then he quickly advanced to the Grandmaster level and became the real top expert on the island... Several decades have passed since then, and his cultivation level has become even more terrifying. I'm afraid there would be no Grandmaster.
In terms of cultivation, it won’t be too different.
This old man is both good and evil, and has a very weird temper. Everything he does depends on his personal preferences... He is the kind of person who likes you and wants to rip his heart out for him. But if he doesn't like you, he is likely to be cruel.
Beat you up.
If there is an injustice, the old man may lend a hand to help, and then... he will cut off a finger and a toe as punishment for the criminal. It is said that this is the origin of his name, Nine Finger Master.
, on the contrary, more and more people have gradually forgotten his true name.
This veteran also has a very bad habit. Once he is interested in something, he will try his best to solve it... He is quite difficult to deal with. On the small island, he is almost feared by everyone.
The existence of him really means that he has nothing to do. It’s so deceiving.
And now, this old man appears at the dock. Maybe he got the news about the ruined island and is ready to get involved. If he learns their identities, he may not be able to get rid of them even if he wants to...
"We are destined to meet each other. I would like to treat my friend to a few drinks. I wonder if I can do it for you?"
The old Taoist ignored Chen Liang and the others, but extended an invitation to Qin Fang very enthusiastically... The tone was quite kind, and there seemed to be no hostility.
"Uncle Master, we still have something to do..."
Before Qin Fang could answer, Chen Liang's expression changed and he said hurriedly.
"It's okay...Senior invited me, how dare I refuse! Please..."
However, Qin Fang waved his hand and said that he actually directly agreed to the old Taoist priest's invitation, which made Chen Liang and the others almost cry.
"please……"
Unfortunately, Chen Liang and the others really had no sense of presence. The old Taoist priest ignored them and led Qin Fang directly to the nearest hotel. He really planned to sit down and drink with Qin Fang.
Seeing that they could not persuade Qin Fang, Chen Liang and the others had no choice but to give up and follow Qin Fang.
A few people asked for a private room and cooked it, and the food and drinks were quickly served...
"I would like to ask, my little friend's surname is Qin?"
The old Taoist priest was not polite at all. He poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all in one gulp... After finishing the glass of wine, the old Taoist priest suddenly asked.
"Um?"
Qin Fang was stunned and looked at the old Taoist priest with a surprised look on his face. His body also instinctively became vigilant... If he hadn't discovered that this old Taoist priest had no ill intentions towards him, he would have really wanted to take action.
Not only Qin Fang reacted like this, but Chen Liang and others also had stern expressions on their faces, with some shock in their eyes.
You must know that Qin Fang, including Chen Liang and others, have all changed their faces at this moment. They are almost completely different from their original faces. However, this old Taoist priest asked Qin Fang if his surname was Qin. It was really embarrassing.
People can't even imagine it.
"That's right, this junior's surname is Qin..."
However, Qin Fang was silent for a moment, then nodded and admitted the matter, and then looked at the old Taoist priest carefully, waiting for what he would say next.
"As expected..."
After receiving Qin Fang's affirmative answer, the old Taoist priest immediately became happy. He drank another glass of wine very happily, and then asked, "Is your surname Qin Siyuan?"
"Er..."
Although Qin Fang had already expected that the old Taoist priest might have seen something, Qin Fang was still shocked when he asked this question. This was something he only knew not long ago.
, but I didn’t expect that the old Taoist priest would break it with one mouthful.
"Not bad! Exactly..."
But the more this happened, the more surprised Qin Fang felt, and the more he wanted to know what was going on.
"Okay, okay, okay... He is indeed Brother Siyuan's grandson. It seems that the old trick is not blind! Come on, boy, have a few drinks with me!"
The nine-fingered Taoist suddenly became extremely excited and directly pulled Qin Fang over to force him to drink.
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders..."
Qin Fang is still confused until now, but one thing is certain. This nine-fingered Taoist should not be an enemy. He seems to be a friend of his late grandfather Qin Siyuan. In that case, he is really Qin Fang's senior.
It was also appropriate to have a few drinks with him, so he naturally agreed happily.
So, Qin was able to drink one cup after another with the nine-fingered old man...
At this time, Chen Liang and the others were slightly relieved. They were not stupid either. Naturally, they knew that the notorious Jiu Zhi Zhenren seemed to have a close relationship with Qin Fang, so they would not cause trouble for them.
"Alas, decades ago, when I heard that Brother Siyuan passed away unfortunately, the old Taoist lamented that a generation of peerless talents died young... Now that I see you, my child, I feel happy for Brother Siyuan! You are so young.
Yes, this cultivation level has already reached the top level of the Grandmaster level...I am afraid that it will not be long before we can reach the level of Brother Siyuan!"
After drinking for three rounds, the nine-fingered Taoist said with great emotion.
Watching his eyes slowly drifting away, I am afraid he is also looking back on the long past...
What's even more shocking is that this old Taoist can actually defeat Qin Fang's strength... This is the first time such a thing has happened to Qin Fang in a long time. You must know that a strong man like Yang Tianlin has reached the pinnacle of the Grand Master level.
, they can only vaguely know a rough idea, not as accurate as this old Taoist priest at all!
However, what surprised Qin Fang even more was some of the information the old Taoist priest told about his grandfather Qin Siyuan... It seemed that his grandfather's cultivation had reached an extremely frightening level back then, and he might have reached the level of a great master.
environment.
But the problem also arises...
According to what Mr. Tang and Mr. Chu said, his grandfather Qin Siyuan died after taking a bullet for them. However, the protective aura of a grandmaster-level master was no longer afraid of bullets, so how could he be killed by a bullet?
