Chapter 192 The Hong Family’s Secret Treasure
“I just arrived, but heaven is already not playing nice.”
Cui Heng looked at the heavy rain in the sky and smiled at Zhang Shuming beside him. “Perfected Zhang, is this a sign that my trip to the Heavenly Void World will not go smoothly?”
“Exalted Immortal, you must be joking.” Zhang Shuming shook his head and said, “If there’s really a God in this world, the moment you arrive, the sky would definitely be surrounded by the light of heaven and all of heaven would welcome you with extraordinary splendor. Now, it’s raining heavily. It just so happens to prove that there isn’t a God in this world.”
In his heart, Cui Heng was a supreme existence like the will of the heavens and the Heavenly Dao. If there was really a God, it would be Cui Heng.!!
After all, he had seen the phenomenon when Cui Heng broke through to the Nascent Soul realm.
“Hahaha!” Cui Heng laughed when he heard that. He nodded and said, “Perfected Zhang also knows how to say such things?”
Boom!
At this moment, lightning suddenly erupted in the sky, instantly illuminating a large section of the darkness, causing it to seem as if it was daytime.
At the same time, a roar came from nearby.
“Grandson, run!”
Immediately after, a wave of Xiantian True Qi surged, trying to mobilize Heaven Earth Essence Qi to fight.
However, this power was clearly much more sluggish compared to ordinary Xiantian True Qi. It also felt very weak, as if it was about to be completely exhausted.
“This grandfather and grandson pair are quite unyielding.” Cui Heng looked over. Actually, he had long sensed that someone was being hunted down in the forest, but he did not intend to interfere.
Now that he saw Hong Kang fighting to the death to hold back the enemy and let his grandson escape, he felt a little emotional.
Then he blew out a soft breath.
Hu –
In an instant, a violent wind rose, accompanied by a loud hiss, surging towards Hong Kang and Hong Shen. This hurricane was like an invisible hand sweeping across, destroying everything in its

path!
On the spot, the Inner World expert from the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect was blown flying. He smashed through countless trees before slowly sliding to the ground. He fell into a muddy puddle Cui Heng only used a little bit of extremely weak strength and controlled it meticulously to prevent this Inner World from turning into powder on the spot.

He frowned slightly and said to Zhang Shuming beside him, “Perfected Zhang, if such a thing happens again, you’ll be the one to take action.”
“Yes, Exalted Immortal.” Zhang Shuming hurriedly nodded and understood what Cui Heng meant. He looked at the severely injured Inner World expert sitting on the ground and shook his head. “This person is really lucky to be able to experience a breath of Immortal Qi by you. This is a blessing that has been cultivated for thousands of lifetimes.”
This was not mockery, but sincere words.
In Zhang Shuming’s opinion, Cui Heng was an extremely noble and powerful existence. Even the high and mighty Heaven Monarchs and Buddhas would probably be blown to death on the spot by Cui Heng.
At this moment, a small Inner World cultivator, an ant-like figure, could actually make Cui Heng specially spare his life.
If this wasn’t luck, what was? If this wasn’t a blessing from thousands of lifetimes, what was?
At the same time, Hong Kang and Hong Shen were stunned.
Especially Hong Kang.
He looked at the collapsed Inner World expert in disbelief, then at Cui Heng and Zhang Shuming. He felt like he was dreaming.
He almost blew an Inner World expert to death in one breath!
Even a Deity Realm expert would not be so exaggerated in strength.
Could this be a Human Immortal?
He was frightened by his own guess.
Actually, even in the Heavenly Void World, ordinary martial artists rarely saw Human Immortals.
After all, there was a quota for the Immortal ranks.
In this world, other than the disciples of the Immortal sects, only the 24 aristocratic families and Nine Preeminent Families, or the royal families of the various countries could have Human Immortals.
There were not many of them in total.
“Greetings, Immortal. Thank you for saving our lives!” Hong Kang hurriedly knelt down and thanked Cui Heng.
“Thank you, Immortal!” Hong Shen saw his grandfather kneel down and thank him, so he followed suit.
However, just as the two of them knelt down, they felt a very gentle force dragging them up.
“There’s no need to be so polite.” Cui Heng shook his head gently and walked up to the two of them. He smiled and said, “I just saw some injustice and gave a hand.”
“Exalted Immortal didn’t give a hand. Exalted Immortal only gave a breath.” Hong Shen was only nine years old after all, so he couldn’t help but correct him.
“Shen’er, don’t be rude!” Hong Kang was scared out of his wits and hurriedly stopped him.
“It’s fine.” Cui Heng waved his hand and smiled. He didn’t care about this.
With a thought, the Inner World expert who was lying on the ground immediately floated in the air and flew over. After trembling for a moment, he woke up.
“You’re a disciple of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect?” Cui Heng recognized the aura of power in this person.
“Immortal, please spare my life!” This Inner World expert was so frightened that his guts were trembling. He was so terrified that he only knew how to beg for mercy.
“Are you a disciple of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect?” Cui Heng asked again. This time, his voice was much gentler and very charming
“Yes, yes, I’m Qian Shun, an inner sect disciple of the Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect.” The eyes of this person became empty. There was no fear or shock, as if he had become a dead thing that only knew how to answer questions.
To a Nascent Soul cultivator, any living being below the Nascent Soul realm was like an ant.
Be it his physical body or soul, they could be suppressed at will.
Now that Qian Shun’s soul and will were suppressed, no matter what he asked, he would answer truthfully.
“What’s the realm of the strongest person in your Heavenly Unity Sacred Sect?” Cui Heng tried to ask.
“It, it should be the Sect Master. He’s said to be a Heaven Immortal mighty figure.” Qian Shun’s tone was uncertain. Clearly, this was because he could not obtain the core high-level information and did not know about this matter.
“As expected…” Cui Heng shook his head gently. He was only trying to ask and did not have much hope, so he asked,” Why did you chase after them?”.
“The Hong family has a secret treasure inheritance. It’s said to contain the secret to becoming an Earth Immortal. I wanted to snatch it.” Qian Shun spoke very smoothly this time. Clearly, this was his intention.
Hong Kang’s body tensed up when he heard this, and his guard rose.
He subconsciously pulled away from Cui Heng.
This was an instinctive vigilance.
The ancestral teachings of the Hong family required the descendants to protect the inheritance treasure with their lives. They could not hand it over to anyone.
Unless the person mentioned in the ancestral teachings appeared.
For more than 200 years, the Hong family had lived in seclusion in the mountain village and had never stepped into the martial world. They had never mentioned the secret treasure to outsiders.
However, more than ten years ago, a woman from the Hong family eloped with a foreign martial artist, causing the news to be exposed.
This time, the Eight Immortal Sects went on a crazy search. The woman’s husband was also suspected. In order to save her husband’s life, the woman revealed the news that her family had a secret treasure.
Hence, the current situation.
