This Old Man Has Left You a Secret

The location of a powerful figure's tomb.

The young man looked at the long coffin in the distance, and then shifted his gaze to a spot not far from the coffin.

There, a young figure was walking forward step by step.

Behind the boy, several other boys of similar age all wore expressions of strain.

Only the young man at the very front remained calm, as if strolling leisurely, as if nothing here posed much of a threat to him.

"Sigh, truly a prodigy of the Li Clan."

Someone sighed and said.

"Since the other forces aren't contributing anything strong enough, there's practically no point in competing for anything right now."

"Yes."

Someone nearby nodded in agreement, then looked at another boy and said...

"Before this, Wang Jiahao of the Wang Clan was truly riding high, but unexpectedly, he has now reached this point, finding himself in dire straits so early on."

Some people are talking about it, and some are curious.

"I wonder what this senior left behind?"

"However, judging from the methods of testing left in this tomb, the things left behind by that senior must be extremely extraordinary."

As the crowd discussed this, the young man in front also arrived before the long coffin.

"Boom--"

After the boy came to a stop, the long coffin began to emit a muffled thud.

Immediately, under everyone's watchful eyes, the lid of the long coffin slid open to one side.

In an instant, countless figures looked up at the long coffin, holding their breath and staring intently.

"Brush--"

At that moment, a beam of light shone from inside the long coffin.

The next moment, a phantom figure wearing a cloak and a straw hat appeared in everyone's sight.

"Junior Li Changqing greets Senior."

Before the long coffin, Li Changqing clasped his hands in a gesture of respect.

As soon as he finished speaking, the illusory figure looked at him and nodded slightly.

"You're very good."

"You flatter me, senior."

Li Changqing responded immediately.

At this moment, the figure's gaze turned to everyone present.

His gaze slowly swept across the entire room, and after a brief pause, he finally spoke.

"I know why you've come."

"It's just a pity that I have nothing to pass on to you."

Upon hearing this, everyone was slightly taken aback, then somewhat astonished.

"Isn't it said that this predecessor left behind extremely valuable resources and traditions for future generations, but it will be difficult to obtain them?"

How could you say that?

Before the long coffin, a moment of doubt flashed in Li Changqing's eyes.

But then he regained his composure and said in a deep voice.

"Being able to come here to pay homage to my predecessors is enough for this junior; I ask for nothing more."

With just one sentence, the figure's gaze returned to Li Changqing.

Then, everyone saw the senior's illusory figure nod and speak.

"Then so be it."

Now even Li Changqing's expression became somewhat unsettled.

Is the "lack of lineage" mentioned earlier really not a test?

Then, the illusory figure spoke again.

"Although there's nothing else, I've still left you some things."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately perked up.

Since the other party wasn't referring to "you" but rather "all of you," it means that Li Changqing wasn't the only one who could get the item.

At this thought, countless people were deeply moved.

At this moment, the illusory figure paused and then spoke.

"What I'm leaving you is a secret."

"This is a secret I would never have dared to reveal while I was alive."

"If I were to speak out, I fear I would face an attack from his Tai Clan."

"Fortunately, I am no longer in this world, so I am no longer afraid of these things."

"Tai Clan?"

Everyone was somewhat surprised, not expecting that this senior would have any connection with the Tai Clan.

Since it concerns a powerful force like the Tai Clan, this secret must be quite significant.

Some people couldn't help but think to themselves.

At this moment, the illusory figure spoke.

"The Tai Clan actually already possessed that Power That Cannot Be Controlled that they have always claimed they were striving to acquire."

"Everything they do is a deliberate performance."

"The Power That Cannot Be Controlled is very powerful."

As soon as the words fell—

"Brush--"

The illusory figure then dissipated, leaving behind a sea of confusion and bewilderment on the faces of most of the people present.

"No, that's it?"

Was what was left to us just a secret?

"In that case, what difference does it make whether we stay or not?"

Some of the boys looked surprised and murmured softly.

"So the Tai Clan actually mastered it a long time ago? I never imagined that from the time of our predecessors until now, the Tai Clan has been pretending that they failed to master it."

"Looking at it this way, it's no wonder that this senior didn't dare to say it during his lifetime."

"But there's no point in telling us these secrets now, is there?"

Before the long coffin, Li Changqing waited for two breaths before finally peering into it.

The next moment, his brows furrowed.

The long coffin was clean, as if it had just been swept, and there were no bones to be seen at all.

Even though the bones had turned to ash, not a single trace of them could be found here.

Has someone already gotten there first?

A question flashed through Li Changqing's mind: otherwise, how could he explain the current situation?

Meanwhile, outside this place...

Zhong Ming looked at Mu Fan, then glanced at the urn, and his expression suddenly changed, his eyes lighting up as he spoke.

"Senior Brother Mu, this method is quite impressive. The strength of this skeleton in life was truly remarkable, far surpassing anything we've obtained before. And you got it so easily?"

Mu Fan smiled slightly.

"Good luck."

As he spoke, Mu Fan put his hands behind his back and raised his head slightly.

"Let's go wander around to other places."

In the following period, news that the Tai Clan had mastered Power That Cannot Be Controlled emerged in various forms in many places.

The Jiang Clan.

The Jiang Clan experts looked at the scene Jiang Tao brought back and the appearance of the old man at the end, confirming it again and again.

Ultimately, everyone came to a conclusion.

This old man is definitely not a strongman of their Tai Clan.

Judging from this, it seems someone is trying to set fire to our Jiang Clan.

Someone frowned and spoke up.

As soon as he finished speaking, someone scoffed.

"Is there even a need to guess? Everyone knows who did it. But I really didn't expect them to go to such lengths to create such a commotion."

Others looked at the Jiang Clan head with concern.

"Patriarch, if this continues, I fear that once the Tai Clan finds out, they will definitely investigate the Jiang Clan's affairs, and they might even take action against us."

At this point, everyone looked at the head of the Jiang Clan.

The Tai Clan's power is far, far greater than theirs.

Although the Huaxia Sect had previously taken away the Tai Clan's experts, that had nothing to do with the Jiang Clan.

If the Tai Clan truly intends to take action, they will offer no resistance.
