Chapter 2948 Nine Stone Pillars

"I didn't expect that there would be such a secret! It's really incredible."

Lin Yun exclaimed and asked again: "Just having such an opportunity, the Chu family should attach great importance to it?"

"What do they value? The Chu family no longer knows this." Huo Lie snorted coldly.

"Why is this?" Lin Yun asked.

"It's because of that handyman's status!" Huo Lie sighed.

"The ancestors of the Chu family are very taboo about this identity, and he has also looked at the secret of the fire phoenix essence and blood in Izumo City, but there is no way to open it."

"So, he hid all these secrets and placed them in this ancestral home."

"Later on, strange things often happened in this ancestral residence. In addition, Feihong City is a bit small and not worthy of the status of the Martial Emperor."

"So, the ancestors of the Chu family moved their families to Wuling City, and the place was basically empty. Only some unpopular clan members stayed here."

"After many generations, no one in the Chu family knows about this matter."

Lin Yun couldn't help shaking his head and laughing when he heard this: "Such an important secret can be lost. The Chu family is really weird."

"Ha! That's weird!" Huo Lie said with a contemptuous smile: "Actually... there is nothing despicable about being a servant, as long as you do what you should do, that's enough."

"It is also because they are secretive and are ashamed of that status. They have forgotten that their current glory only comes from their status as servants."

"So...it's normal that the Chu family is no longer as prosperous as it used to be."

Huo Lie said it calmly, but there was also a lot of pain in his heart.

He was also a servant, but he felt the kindness his previous master had shown him and never gave up on Chu Feng because of his humble status.

"How was this secret discovered?" Lin Yun asked.

"This matter... is a bit tragic to say..." Huo Lie sighed.

"Young Master Chu Feng turned his parents into charcoal on the spot because nine thunderbolts descended upon him when he was born..."

Speaking of this, Huo Lie burst into tears.

Huo Lie has deep feelings for his old master...

"Both his parents died when he was born... He was regarded as an unlucky person by his family and wanted to be abandoned. It was I who brought him to live in this ancestral home."

"I have to say that Young Master Chu Feng is very talented. He actually discovered the secret left by his ancestors in his ancestral home."

"That's why I took him to Izumo City and waited for hundreds of years before you showed up."

"I just didn't expect that your appearance would turn everything around."

"So, I think you should have a share of that treasure."

Having said this, Huo Lie stopped feeling sad again and looked at Lin Yun expectantly.

"It's just...the secret belongs to Chu Feng...if I take it, wouldn't I let you, brother..." Lin Yun shook his head.

With Chu Feng's personality, it stands to reason that he should not hesitate to seize Lin Yun who belongs to him.

But when it came to Huo Lie, he couldn't do that.

"Brother! You don't have to worry!" Huo Lie smiled.

"Young Master Chu Feng has no fate with that secret. Otherwise, why would I have left the near and far away and waited for a hundred years in a remote place in the Fengming Empire."

"What's the reason for this?" Lin Yun asked in surprise.

"It was still because of the nine rays of lightning in his body. As soon as he came into contact with that secret, the lightning in his body backfired and almost destroyed him." Huo Lie said.

"Oh! That's it!" Lin Yun nodded.

"Brother! You don't have to refuse at all, because according to records, the secret is not left to the Chu family, but to the talented and destined people." Huo Lie said again.

"And your performance in Izumo City is enough to show that you are destined! Now that you have come to the Western Chu Empire, you must not miss this opportunity."

"Okay! In that case, I'll give it a try!" Lin Yundao said.

"It's not too late, let's go see it now." Huo Lie said eagerly.

As he spoke, he stood up.

Lin Yun could only pack up his wine jar and follow suit.

Follow Huo Lie as he zigzags through the crowded high-rise buildings of the Chu family.

It was late at night, and everything around him seemed gloomy.

Moreover, wherever he goes, there are places that no one has been to for a long time.

A smell of decay came to my face.

But the key to unlocking the secret was covered up by the smell of decay.

If no one touches it, it will be covered up forever.

In the long river of years that will eventually disappear...

But now it's all about to be unearthed again.

After groping through the dark twists and turns, we came to a small garden sandwiched between tall buildings.

Huo Lie took Lin Yun to a flat area paved with bluestones in the garden.

"The secret is hidden here."

Huo Lie pointed to Pingdi.

He casually handed another ancient book to Lin Yun.

"Young Master Chu Feng found this in the Sutra Pavilion back then. According to the records inside, the place it refers to is here."

"It's just that after opening it, Young Master Chu Feng was blasted out by the power of destruction just as he entered it..."

"So, please take a look at the records here first. Is the method I found wrong back then?"

Lin Yun took the ancient book and opened it, a strange light flashed in his eyes. Even in the darkness, the handwriting in the ancient book could be seen clearly.

The causes and consequences of the hidden secrets and the specific location of the records were mixed in between the lines, which was extremely messy. If it wasn't for someone who was interested, it would be impossible to find it.

"The ancestors of the Chu family were so taboo about their own life experience."

Lin Yun laughed secretly and read the records carefully.

A moment later.

Lin Yun came to the center of the flat ground and suddenly drew his sword.

He stabbed out nine swords in a row.

The sword was extremely fast.

The nine swords were in sequence, and almost at the same time, they stabbed into nine of the stones.

The nine stones flew up and became sparkling, like stars.

The nine stars flew and pulled up all the bluestones covering the flat ground.

There were nine stone pillars with patterns neatly placed in the pit.

There was a cold stone pillar, but it was like a nine-headed sleeping beast. Once awakened, it would turn into a man-eating demon.

"Nine powerful stone pillars, with no trace of mental fluctuations on the surface."

"But if stimulated, the power that erupts can kill people instantly."

"This is the power that the ancestors of the Chu family cannot control!"

"So, it's no wonder that after he brought these nine stone pillars here, there were often strange things here, which made him abandon this place and move away..."

"However, Chu Feng's nine divine thunders are also extremely powerful. Otherwise, he would have died here long ago."

"And I can't go down easily!"

"If I can't figure out the secrets here, I can't take them away at all. If I take them by force, I will only seek death..."

Lin Yun thought to himself, looking at the nine stone pillars, and fell into deep thought.
