Chapter 552: Chapter 552 Who are you?
The vehicle hadn’t been driving for long before it was like entering a mountain.
The Qin Mountain Range!
After entering the Qin Mountain Range, a formidable dragon vein energy struck right at them! In ancient times, this place was the dragon vein of the emperor who ruled the world! It was filled with the king’s dominance!
Ying Aoshan and Uncle Yun noticeably frowned, their eyes filled with solemnity. Huang Xiaolong also dropped his casual attitude.
“Little Long, we’re almost at the ancestral land,” Ying Aoshan said with a smile.
The SUV followed a stream, weaving through lofty mountains. The stunning scenic views were like a painting. Outside the car window, groups of vibrant butterflies fluttered without fear of humans. They even flew into the car from the window and landed on the shoulders and heads of Huang Xiaolong and others. This made Huang Xiaolong feel as if he was in a fairy tale world.
Finally!
They arrived at a valley! The vehicle could no longer proceed!
There was a row of quaint wooden houses outside the valley, with smoke curling up from the chimneys. It seemed like people lived there.
Moreover, a large number of luxury off-road vehicles were parked outside the valley. It seemed like an exclusive car show!
At one end of the valley, a shrouded mist appeared, hazy and dreamlike.
“Little Long, that fog is miasma. To reach the Ying Family’s ancestral lands, we must go through this miasma. However, this miasma is potent and poisonous. Without our Ying Family’s secret method, ordinary people can’t enter. Once touched by the miasma, the body will become necrotic and death will come swiftly,” Ying Aoshan warned solemnly. “In other words, outsiders can’t enter the Ying Family’s ancestral lands!”
“Hmm. I understand. The so-called miasma is formed by certain poisonous plants that grow in the valley. Due to the tight environment, these toxic plants produce a soul-destroying miasma after rotting and reacting with the air,” Huang Xiaolong analyzed confidently. “However, there is a cure for every poison. There must be plants that could neutralize the miasma nearby. If one could harvest such a plant and consume it, they can pass through this miasma without harm and reach the Ying Family’s ancestral lands.”
“Ah?! Young Master Huang! You… You… Could it be that you’ve been to the Ying Family’s ancestral lands?” Uncle Yun looked at Huang Xiaolong incredulously.
The method of crossing the miasma is a secret the Ying Family never shares. Ying Aoshan had not revealed it to Huang Xiaolong either. However, Huang Xiaolong had disclosed the key information, which naturally led one to suspect him of having visited the Ying Family’s ancestral lands!
Ying Aoshan also looked at Huang Xiaolong with utter disbelief.
“Ah, there’s nothing strange about it. I’m simply intelligent,” Huang Xiaolong responded with a grin.
As a matter of fact, having gained information about the Ying Family’s ancestral lands from Kexin, Huang Xiaolong knew this place even better than any current member of the Ying Family! After all, the information was directly given to him by the Ying Family’s venerated ancestors!
“Father! And my second mother and third mother! Let’s go, we should get out of the car,” Ying Aoshan glanced at the crowd near the wooden houses, and promptly opened the car door.
Huang Xiaolong looked up and saw many people, both men and women, appear near the row of wooden houses. Each of them had distinguished temperament.
Among them, a middle-aged man stood out significantly, like a crane in a flock of chickens!
His back was as straight as a lance, his presence as steady as a mountain. Every move he made was filled with unparalleled dominance!
Inside his body, a terrifying 77 strands of True Qi formed which, if condensed and burst out, could easily kill someone within a hundred steps and pierce through steel. It was indeed a non-human power!
The Great Grandmaster of martial arts!
This man was “Ying Xiao”, the father of Ying Aoshan. He was supposed to be the rightful successor to the Family Head of the Ying Family.
However, at this moment, Ying Xiao’s face was filled with a violent and crazed expression, appearing as though he was consumed with a furious rage that could incite him to kill.
Most of the people by Ying Xiao’s side were also martial art grandmasters. Even those of Ying Aoshan’s age had refined at least 10 strands of True Qi inside their bodies. Some even had 20 or 30 strands.
Strong!
Ying Xiao’s direct line, the line of the future Family Head, was indeed strong and numerous.
For instance, the once arrogant Huangfu Tusun, if placed among these Ying Family members, would be mediocre and unnoticeable.
However, at this moment, all of Ying Xiao’s line wore gloomy expressions with deep resentment, as if something had happened.
Ying Aoshan, leading Huang Xiaolong, hurried forward. Uncle Yun followed behind them.
“Dad. Aoshan is here,” Ying Aoshan greeted as she approached.
“Cousin Aoshan, it’s good to see you.”
“Cousin Aoshan, it’s been a year, and you’re prettier.”
…
Ying Aoshan’s half-siblings greeted her politely, but soon their collective gaze fell on Huang Xiaolong, their faces filled with surprise and curiosity.
“My daughter, Aoshan,” A gorgeous woman, no more than thirty years old, dressed in a Chanel business suit, emerged from a wooden house. Her face bore a resemblance to Ying Aoshan, but had a more mature and charming allure.
She was also a Grandmaster of martial arts but had refined only two streaks of True Qi, making her far from a top-notch expert.
Huang Xiaolong quietly speculated that this beautiful woman must be Ying Aoshan’s biological mother.
She was the youngest consort of Ying Xiao, greatly favored, and known to be his favorite.
In other words, Huang Xiaolong’s future mother-in-law.
“Mom!” Ying Aoshan, like a jubilant lark, threw herself into her mother’s arms.
“It’s good to have you back, I was so worried that something had happened to you,” said Aoshan’s mother, her face filled with adoration but also sadness, suggesting a distressing secret.
“Mom… Dad, has… has something happened?” Ying Aoshan discerned the mood and asked immediately.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
“Ah~~~” Aoshan’s mother let out a long sigh and looked more worried.
“Aoshan, I heard you were poisoned. Humph!” Ying Xiao’s True Qi rumbled, his aura ferocious, like an enraged beast. “Absolutely audacious! Such a despicable tactic! I, Ying Xiao will not let this go!”
Pausing for a moment, Ying Xiao said gravely, “Aoshan, your brother…your brother Aotian was harmed. He didn’t die, but he was severely poisoned, and all his martial arts… all gone.”
Boom~~~!!!!!!!!
This revelation came to Ying Aoshan like a bolt from the blue!
Ying Aotian, the Ying family’s outstanding young talent of the fourth generation, with monstrous potential, ranked just below Ying Qingfeng.
He was also a significant factor in the contention for the Family Head position for Ying Xiao!
And now, he was harmed! His martial arts, completely destroyed!
This blow was something that Ying Xiao could not bear!
The future of his lineage was almost annihilated!
With Aotian incapacitated, there was no one in the fourth generation of the Ying Family capable of competing with Ying Qingfeng!
The matter of Ying Xiao becoming the Family Head had also become uncertain!
“How…how did this happen?” Ying Aoshan was also in a state of shock. But when she glanced at Huang Xiaolong, she quickly said, “Dad, Mom, let Little Long try to heal Brother Aotian.”
The next second —
“Who are you?”
Ying Xiao, Aoshan’s mother, and all of Aoshan’s siblings, all focused their attention on Huang Xiaolong and asked in unison.
