Chapter 1254: Chapter 1152: The Big Secret on Him!

From the beginning at Purgatory Island, Xu Shihan’s grandfather had always been shrouded in mystery, like a Divine Dragon that showed its head but not its tail, taking the initiative to get to know her on Purgatory Island.

Ren Feifan didn’t give it much thought at the time, but now, looking back, why did the old man seem like he was hiding some sort of conspiracy?

Every time Ren Feifan saw the man’s eyes, he felt as if he were being stripped bare. It wasn’t until later, when he learned the old man was a Seventh Grade Physiognomist, that he felt a bit more at ease.

Physiognomists are classified into nine grades, which is greatly discernable from the Cultivation Realm. The seventh grade is indeed a very high level.

A Ninth Grade Physiognomist can determine fate, both of the heavens and of humans!

So what about the seventh grade? Although not as exaggerated, it’s still possible to set up a scheme.

Over the years, the old man had disappeared mysteriously, but he would always appear in many crucial matters. He seemed like an invisible hand, directing the course of Ren Feifan’s story, yet he rarely showed himself.

It was as if he was deliberately avoiding Ren Feifan.

Why wouldn’t the old man see him? What was this plot he repeatedly mentioned?

Seeing Ren Feifan in a daze, Xu Shihan reached out her slender hand and patted his shoulder, smiling, "Feifan, what are you daydreaming about? Haven’t you always wanted to meet my grandfather?"

Ren Feifan suddenly came back to reality and smiled, "Is he at the Holy Gate now?"

"He was at the Holy Gate a few days ago, but he left in a hurry yesterday afternoon after receiving a mysterious phone call. However, before he left, he had a message for you. He said he would definitely return within a week and told you to wait for him at the Holy Gate, not to wander off."

Ren Feifan shook his head helplessly, but then thought that this might be for the best. Having obtained such a large batch of Spirit Stones from the Hidden Gate, he should consider making a breakthrough to the True Path Realm and also find a way to advance his Body Refinement realm. Only then would he possibly be able to protect himself when he returned to the Hidden Gate.

The biggest lesson from this trip to the Hidden Gate was that there were too many experts and the forces were intricate and complex. It is utterly impossible for one person to make their way through all of this alone.

"By the way, has there been any major news in Capital City or the Holy Gate in the past ten days?"

Xu Shihan furrowed her brows in thought for a few seconds, as if she had remembered something, and said hastily, "Your mentor, the Desireless Taoist, has made a breakthrough."

"My mentor made another breakthrough?"

Ren Feifan couldn’t help but be surprised. To continue advancing in a secular place like this, his mentor must have a great secret.

Xu Shihan nodded, her face beaming with joy.

The news of the Desireless Taoist’s breakthrough was good news for Ren Feifan, who also contemplated whether he should use the Spirit Stones to set up an extremely powerful cultivation formation for the disciples of the Holy Gate to practice.

But the cost would be too great. Although he had obtained a large amount of Spirit Stones from Elder Yun, setting up the Spirit Gathering Array would undoubtedly be like trying to extinguish a cartload of burning logs with a cup of water.

Forget it, he should stabilize his own realm first, then consider others.

Soon, a group of people were chatting and laughing as they boarded a Lincoln van, which headed directly for the Holy Gate.

...

Meanwhile, at the Inner Hidden Gate’s Lei Family.

The Young Master of the Lei Family was kneeling on the high platform, his face filled with an expression of reproach.

And on the high platform sat a middle-aged man and a white-bearded elder—the Young Master’s father and grandfather, respectively.

These two wielded the greatest authority within the Inner Hidden Gate of the Lei Family; with a wave of their hands, they could suppress any formidable foe in their domain.

The middle-aged man on the high platform had a livid complexion and, slamming the table, angrily said, "You mean to tell me that not only did the Lightning Pulse physique slip away, but you were also beaten so badly? What a joke! With your cultivation level, you should be looking down on your peers in the Outer Hidden Sect. How could you end up in such a state? Do you have any idea how important the Lightning Pulse physique is to you? Without it, you’ll be stuck at this level for the rest of your life!"

With his head bowed, the Young Master of the Lei Family didn’t know what to say. Thinking back to the events of that day, his cheeks burned with a scorching pain.

"You’re just a waste!" the middle-aged man obviously very angry, continued to scold.

Clenching his fists, Young Master Lei said, "Father, Grandfather! The strength of the expert in that room was really terrifying. Otherwise, I would not have come back in such a state of disarray. He even made me feel no desire to fight back. He seemed far more powerful than Grandfather’s cultivation!"

Hearing his son praise another so highly, the middle-aged man nearly choked with fury and pointed at Young Master Lei’s nose, saying, "Let me ask you, have you ever seen this man? Have you really fought with him?"

Young Master Lei shook his head, saying nothing out loud, but inwardly he thought, "If I had fought with that person, would I have had the chance to come back and see you?"

At that moment, the always silent Old Master Lei spoke up.

"Lei Liang, you cannot blame your son like this. From my understanding of him, his disheartened return indeed proves that the fellow is very strong. Sometimes, retreat is a wise move.

As for the Lightning Pulse physique, we need not worry. It is still within the Hidden Gate, after all, so there’s no need to argue about it here. Our top priority should be to figure out how to get the Lightning Pulse physique back, or else it will be a never-ending source of trouble!"

"Yes, Old Master," the middle-aged man couldn’t show any anger in front of the elderly man beside him, and his breathing also stabilized.

Stroking his beard, the elder looked down at Young Master Lei and said, "Based on what you’ve just told us, the Lightning Pulse physique is currently with the Shao Family in the Outer Hidden Sect, correct?"

Young Master Lei nodded vehemently, "Before I came back, I had people secretly keeping watch. According to their reports, that guy and Shao Xiangning hurried to the Shao Family’s headquarters overnight, and the key to the chains I had is also broken—it’s clear that the bindings on Ye Qingcheng have been shattered! The Shao Family must be behind it!

The Shao Family is digging their own grave!"

"Alright, I’m aware of the situation. I’ll give you an opportunity to atone for your mistakes. Take three elders from the Lei Family at the Transcendence Realm to the Shao Family and see what their stance is. If the Shao Family fails to recognize the situation, then I’ll have no choice but to erase this Outer Hidden Sect family from the history of the Hidden Gate!

This trashy family is of no consequence to our Lei Family! Moreover, you need not worry about that expert. If that person was truly strong, they wouldn’t be hiding behind a door, refusing to show themselves. I suspect this person is just a remnant thought, essentially harmless. The three Transcendence Realm masters will be enough to protect you."

Young Master Lei’s heart leapt with joy, and he quickly kowtowed, saying, "Thank you, Grandfather. I will definitely bring the Lightning Pulse physique back this time."

...

After a fifteen-minute drive, the business van finally stopped.

Ren Feifan had arrived at the Sacred Gate and had a lingering moment with Xu Shihan and Cui Ying.

For the time being, he couldn’t go all the way with Xu Shihan. If it weren’t for the old man meddling in secret, he and Xu Shihan would have been united long ago.

The old man said he needed Xu Shihan’s Pure Yin Blood—who knows if he truly needed it or just said he did.

But Ren Feifan was not in a rush. After all, Cui Ying also practiced the Nine Yin Profound Skill, which was an available option.
