Chapter 1055: Chapter 669 Conspiracy Chapter 1055 -669 Conspiracy Tianxiang Garden鈥檚 hundredth-floor Emperor Hall, within its spacious and luxurious room, an old man clad in a gray robe sat on the floor.
His eyebrows and beard were all white, and his body faintly exuded an ethereal aura reminiscent of an Immortal, embodying the essence of a celestial demeanor.
With such a presence, if the old man were to sit in a square with an Eight Trigrams Array in front of him, it was believable that many would seek him out for fortune-telling.
However, at this moment, in the luxurious room next door, more than a dozen people were being held captive.
Even the weakest among these captives possessed the strength of a B-grade Martial Artist, and the strongest was a middle-aged man who was a Grandmaster.
Such a group was already powerful enough to uproot many top-tier forces.
Even within the whole of Modu, it was rare to find a family that could boast a Great Grandmaster, a half-step Grandmaster, along with dozens of A-grade and B-grade Martial Artists.
...
Even the renowned four great families of Modu and the Lin family of Modu, who possessed three hundred billion in assets, did not have such profound foundations.

Yet, despite the gathering of such elite experts, everyone appeared helpless.
As powerful as they were, in front of the old man next door, they really amounted to nothing.
Liu Ping, with the strength of an upper-tier Great Grandmaster, undoubtedly possessed the terrifying ability to kill any one of them with a single move.
Even if these dozen individuals joined forces, they would be no match for the old man opposite them.
This fearful disparity was why, despite their wealthy and noble statuses芒鈧€漚nd even with Hua Zhenyu, the second-in-command of the Hua family from the northwest among them芒鈧€漣n this room, they could only wait obediently, daring not to make any rash moves.
As time ticked away second by second, Hua Zhenyu, who was initially anxious, gradually became as stable as Taishan.

He knew that as time passed, the northwest Hua family would find every means to rescue him.
Given his understanding of his own elder brother, the current Family Head Hua Zhenfei, he would never allow his younger brother to remain captive, even if the captor was once a benefactor.
The first three days passed without incident.
The Celestial Instrument assured everyone鈥檚 food and clothing; the best meals and the most delicious delicacies were provided.
Even Hua Zhenfei, who controlled eight hundred billion in assets, could find no fault.
By the fourth day, the hermit-like old man, who had been meditating with his eyes closed, finally opened them.
鈥淭hey are here!鈥
His eyes, slightly cloudy, but within that cloudiness shone a brilliance that could rival Ming Yue鈥檚 light.
As the old man spoke, three figures, like ghosts, appeared before him, soundlessly and unnoticed even by the doorkeeper.
鈥淢aster!鈥
Following a hoarse voice, one of the three men in black suits stepped forward half a step from the shadows.
As he moved into the light, his face, marked by deep wrinkles showing at least fifty years of age, was revealed, but what was most noticeable was a faint scar on his face.
As the scar-faced man spoke in an aged tone, the seated old man swiftly focused his gaze on him.
He closely examined the scar-faced man and, after a moment, suddenly said, 鈥淗ua Family Head of the northwest, commanding over all, you are truly above tens of thousands.
Liu Ping does not have such a disciple as you.鈥
The scar-faced man remained unmoved, his eyes intensely fixed on the old man, a hint of reminiscence flickering in his gaze.
Then, abruptly taking a deep breath, his steps surged forward, unleashing a terrifying aura that instantly pressured the old man.
Despite appearing ordinary, the moment the scar-faced man released his immense aura, his peak mid-tier Great Grandmaster strength was unmistakably demonstrated.
As the middle-aged man took action, his two powerful subordinates also released their own auras.
Instantly, three Great Grandmaster-level terrifying auras completely locked onto the old man.
The old man, at the center, saw his gray robe flutter and even his white hair wafted in the wind.
The joint action of the three Great Grandmasters, with merely their terrifying pressure, was enough to petrify ordinary people, and even a normal Great Grandmaster would be powerless to resist.
However, the old man at the center of these forces appeared unaffected.
He merely narrowed his eyes slightly, and within a glint emerging from his gaze, he suddenly released an even more immense aura.
This terrifying aura instantly dispersed the oppressive atmospheres enveloping him, even appearing to suppress the three men before him.
Naturally, the three men in black, including the northwest Hua family鈥檚 last resort, the one with the scar being Hua Zhenfei, possessed the strength of a peak mid-tier Great Grandmaster.
As for the other two, they were naturally two of the 鈥淔our Tigers鈥 of the Hua family, Black Tiger and the most powerful, Northeast Tiger.
