"Oh, did you bring us a gift from the Holy Empire?" Ouyang Hong smiled as he walked over to the box and gently opened it.
Sun God Codex!" They could not believe their eyes. This was a secret manual that they had dreamed of ever since they were young. For this thing, his family had worked hard in their cultivation, exhausted themselves for a long time, but now it was all of a sudden right in front of their eyes. It was like a beautiful woman who had been chased for a long time but not cultivated to the full extent of her beauty. One day, she would suddenly throw herself into his arms. It was like a dream. Originally, with the foundation of their clan, even without some powerful elders, it would not have fallen to such a level. "The main reason for this was that there were no more manuals on cultivation techniques and it was finally over.
"Little Yu, where did you get this from? Could it be that you've arrived at the Myriad Sword Sect?" This joy came too suddenly, making them unable to adapt to it.
"Mm, I seized the ancient records while the Myriad Sword Sect and Holy Luo Empire were celebrating. I even humiliated them for a while. I'm sure they hate me very much right now!" Ouyang Yu was very happy when he thought of how it looked that day.
"You are really too impulsive in your actions. It's fortunate that this expert helped you." Ouyang Saiji bowed deeply to Ascending Might and Forbidden Hunting at the side. "My two sirs, we are deeply grateful to you for obtaining this treasure book for our family."
"Hehe, hurry up and get up. I can't take it." "We owe this boy a favor, so there's no need for you to be polite with us." Zhang Wei said casually.
"You owe him?" Ouyang Sizhe was confused. Ouyang Yu didn't want his family to know too much, so he said, "Haha, Uncle, you don't need to know so much. Anyway, we've already gotten our hands on the cultivation technique, it should be worth celebrating." Ouyang Sizhe also felt that this made sense, so he didn't ask any further.
At noon, they arranged a banquet and called in all the disciples of the Ouyang Family who were present to join the army. They wanted to celebrate. As soon as the banquet was set up, a person rushed in from outside to report to Ouyang Sizai. As soon as Ouyang Saiji heard this, his complexion greatly changed. He immediately furrowed his brows, a worried look on his face.
Seeing this, Ouyang Yu walked over and asked, "Uncle, did the army from the Holy Luo Empire attack again?"
Ouyang Saiji shook his head. "That's not true. But this news might be even worse than the Holy Land attacking us." Ouyang Hong also felt that something was amiss. "Uncle, what is that thing?"
"Let's talk inside!" Ouyang Sizhe patted Ouyang Hong and walked into his study.
Just now we received news from the family that the Holy Luo Empire had formed an alliance with the Myriad Sword Sect and the Fire Cloud Sect. Today, they sent a messenger to our empire saying that our family is a traitor of the Holy Luo Empire.
"They dare!" Ouyang Hong slammed his hands on the table, his eyes wide open.
"Also, there is another piece of bad news. According to the intelligence gathered from the empire, Osi, who has been on good terms with our empire, is also neutral with it. Ever since the death of the old Emperor, the relationship between us and his eldest son became estranged. Sigh, I didn't expect it to turn out like this. "
This series of questions caused them to sink into silence. It had to be known that the Central China Empire was a mediocre empire. Now, once Osi remained neutral, it would be very difficult to resist the Holy Luo Empire. Now, the Holy Luo Empire had roped in two other powerful forces, the Myriad Sword Sect and the Fire Cloud Sect, which made the situation even more dangerous.
"I just received news from my family. Although the Empire knows that this is an excuse for the Holy Empire, they are still arguing over it now. Some of them want to hand over our family to ensure the safety of the Empire, while others want to fight to the bitter end with the Holy Empire."
"Hmph, the Holy Empire is truly despicable!" Ouyang Yu was also very angry. What he hated the most in his life was someone using his family to threaten him. The reason why the Holy Luo Empire used his family to threaten him was because of him.
"Little Hong, you two brothers should head back now!"
"Alright, let's go back now!" Ouyang Yu was worried that the Holy Luo Empire would come to attack during this period of time, so he kept both the Ascending Might and the Forbidden Hunting.
They were in a hurry. In just two days, they arrived at the clan.
At this time, the Ouyang Family Clan was no longer as lively as they used to be. Even the two gatekeepers at the door seemed to be covered in a layer of melancholy. When they saw Ouyang Yu and Ouyang Hong, the melancholy expression on their faces disappeared. They happily shouted, "Gentlemen, you've finally returned."
"Oh, Xiao Fang, how is the family?" Ouyang Yu asked.
"It's still alright now. The Patriarch has rushed to the capital to discuss the situation with the Emperor. I believe he will be back soon."
"Un, alright then!" After Ouyang Yu responded, he went to meet his mother with Ouyang Hong. They hadn't returned home for an entire year, and Ouyang Hong for even longer.
His mother, Zhang Renlian, was sitting alone in front of the curtain, thinking back to the time when she had met Ouyang Saige. Back then, it had been a rift in the valley that had been bullying her, and now a handsome young man had spoken up to stop her. She had always been a girl from a small family and had always disliked those young masters from powerful families. It was also because of Ouyang Saige that he changed his mind. Afterwards, they got married not long after they fell in love. And because the Ouyang Family had offended the Young Sect Master of the Myriad Sword Sect, Rift Valley, they were constantly at odds with each other. Afterwards, they were ambushed by people from the Myriad Sword Sect .. She didn't know if marrying into the Ouyang Family was right or wrong. But at the thought of his two sons, her sad face broke into a smile. "Well, it's been a year, and I wonder if they're all right now?" Zhang Renlian gazed into the distance. Every mother is a son who misses going out, just like a prodigal son who misses his mother.
"Mother, we are back." Just as Zhang Renlian was lost in her thoughts, two familiar figures appeared in front of her. Her mind jolted and she excitedly stood up. "Hong, Yu'er, you two have returned." The three of them tightly embraced each other.
Ouyang Hong said, "Mother, the current situation is extremely disadvantageous for our family. We must go to the elders' hall to discuss this with them."
"That's right. The Holy Empire is going too far. We can't just sit and wait for death to come. You guys can go now!"
"Hm!" "Then we'll go." After waving to his mother, they walked together to the Elder Hall.
The Elder Hall had been discussing this issue for the past few days, but they had never come up with a good idea. When they saw Ouyang Hong and Ouyang Yu return, they were overjoyed, as if they had seen hope. These two brothers had given them too much of a shock. At this time, Ouyang Hong's strength had already reached the middle stage of the Refinement Realm, but what Ouyang Yu gave them was a different kind of feeling. He also had a bit of a superior aura suppressing the inferior. Could it be that the news that came from the front lines was correct? Could he really kill two small path stage experts in one move? Doesn't this mean that he is stronger than me? "Impossible!" The Head Elder comforted himself and then said to Ouyang Hong and Ouyang Yu, "You've come at the right time. Come and sit down for a bit."
"Alright!" He did not have any good impression of this elder. Although the Great Elder was angry in his heart, he could only suppress it in his heart.
"I've already been to the Holy Empire, they indeed have a huge conspiracy. The first step is to start from our family, so the first thing we have to do is to not let them succeed, otherwise, not only our family will be in great danger, the central Chinese Empire will also be in the same situation." Ouyang Yu sat down and analyzed his thoughts.
"Yes, that is indeed the case. Our current situation is indeed very dangerous, so we have to make our decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, it will be too late." The Great Elder had also put down the dissatisfaction in his heart as he agreed.
Ouyang Hong also stood up and said, "According to my experience at the border, the Holy Luo Empire had long planned to annex our empire, but at that time, we had a close relationship with Osi, so it was very difficult for them to do that. Right now, they are threatening the Central China Empire with the same method, and one of them wants to get rid of our family, which is also the will of the Myriad Sword Sect." Ouyang Hong also stood up and said, "From my experience at the border, we had long planned to annex our empire, but at that time, we were very close to Osi, so it was very difficult for them to do that.
"Yes, that's what the Patriarch is thinking. He went for a few days, I wonder how he's doing in the discussions with the Empire. If he's progressing well, logically speaking, he should be back by now." The Second Elder said.
When Ouyang Yu heard this, he was a little worried in his heart. "My speed is fast. I'll go check out the empire first." Ouyang Yu bowed and threw the cultivation technique on the table. Then, he slowly retreated toward the capital.
They still didn't know what the secret manual was. When Ouyang Yu took out a box, they still didn't know what it was. However, when Ouyang Hong opened it, all of them became excited.
"Sun God Codex!" As he said this, he grabbed the book and looked at it lovingly. However, when they were halfway through, they realized that there were a lot of pages missing and that Ouyang Yu had been tricked. However, they were still extremely impressed by Ouyang Yu's skills. How much courage and strength did he need to retrieve the item from the tiger's mouth, even though it was incomplete? However, Ouyang Yu didn't know about this. Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone crazy. Previously, when the Rift Valley saw that he had no other choice, he could only take out the secret manual. However, he was afraid that the Ouyang Family would become stronger because of this, so he secretly ordered his men to tear down a lot of pages in the middle of the book. However, Ouyang Yu didn't pay much attention at that time, so he was deceived.
