Ruins of the past

Hua Hanwen comes from the Hua family, one of the four major families in the southeast.

The Hua family has been engaged in bamboo, wood, paper, porcelain clay, lacquer, tea and other businesses for nearly a hundred years. From a small local wealthy family, it gradually became a behemoth spanning three southeastern states.

Not only are there many martial arts scholars and martial arts examiners in the clan, but there are also many masters in the past dynasties with a strong martial arts style.

There was even a cabinet elder in the history of the Hua family.

Until decades ago, the Hua family gradually lacked real masters. At that time, the only Martial God who entered the Dao had passed the age of fighting, began to exhaust his energy and blood, and his physical strength continued to decline.

Without the protection of sufficient force, the Hua family's strength and business began to decline little by little, becoming the last one among the four major families.

At that time, Hua Hanwen was just the concubine son of the previous family head. He had never shown anything special since he was a child. He was never taken seriously, and he was a transparent person in the family.

It wasn't until Hua Hanwen joined the Donghai School and formally studied the advanced martial arts in the school that his amazing martial arts talent began to shine.

Hua Hanwen has extraordinary qualifications in swordsmanship, and the Donghai School is the best swordsman in the world.

In just ten years, he made breakthroughs one after another, and finally achieved the status of a Taoist Martial God.

After that, he returned to the Hua family, defeated all his brothers, and won the position of head of the family by relying on his strong personal charm and means.

Even the brothers and brothers who were defeated by him were conquered by him one by one and stayed in the Hua family to serve him.

After that, under his leadership, the Hua family sold off many of their original properties and began to engage in maritime trade, regardless of the opposition of many older generations in the family, and even established their own fleet.

Under the huge profits from sea trade, the power of the Hua family expanded rapidly.

Hua Hanwen used the money he earned to clear connections and bribe officials, forming a huge smuggling network in the East China Sea and forming a huge interest group that combined a large number of officials and aristocratic families.

According to Hua Hanwen's original plan, in the future he would unite the four major families and the two major schools to form a chamber of commerce that would monopolize the southeastern maritime trade.

The Chamber of Commerce will have a huge fleet built by the imperial shipyard, and will have martial arts masters trained by the two universities. It will control the islands in the southeastern sea, become a true maritime overlord, and monopolize all maritime trade.

It's a pity that his plan has not been realized yet, and the weather has changed again and again.

First, the Han court was in turmoil and the situation in various places was unstable.

Then there was a large-scale invasion by the Dragon Clan, and maritime trade was seriously affected.

Now Chu Qiguang is here to lead them to fight against some extraterrestrial monster clan.

Hua Hanwen has secretly united all the participating factions and decided to drive Chu Qiguang out of the southeast together.

At this moment, when he stepped into the school with confidence and looked at Chu Qiguang, his expression immediately changed slightly.

At this moment, Chu Qiguang, Busha Fo, Li Yaofeng, and even the powerful Taoists beside Chu Qiguang were all releasing their aura and pressure unscrupulously.

This is also Chu Qiguang's order. He must show his strength from the beginning, severely shock the various factions in the southeast, and firmly control the situation to prevent them from using their minds that they shouldn't use and causing trouble.

So when Hua Hanwen glanced at Lei Yushu, Mi Siri and other Taoist masters, he was already surprised.

Then when his eyes swept over Shen Rusong, Li Yaofeng, and the three powerful men in the realm of manifesting the gods, his expression became darker and darker.

When his eyes were fixed on Chu Qiguang sitting on the Grand Master's chair, strong shock appeared on his face.

Even his normally functioning energy and blood were slightly out of control, causing a blush to appear on his cheeks.

In Hua Hanwen's eyes, Chu Qiguang across from him was like the sun hanging high in the sky. The energy and blood in his body enveloped the entire campus with endless light and heat.

The scorching power of Qi and blood is not aggressive at all, but is filled with a boundless temperament that fills and nourishes all things.

As vast as the sky, as majestic as the sea, this is the feeling Hua Hanwen got from Chu Qiguang.

Just when Hua Hanwen was shocked by Chu Qiguang's aura, Chu Qiguang was also observing him, the talker of the Hua family.

Qiao Zhi's voice also appeared in Chu Qiguang's mind: "This person is Hua Hanwen."

"He is still very powerful. According to the original direction... Daqian fought in the Central Plains and defeated Shenjing City. The remaining forces of the Han Dynasty retreated to the south, and under his leadership, a small southern court was established."

"Later, he connected the four major families, the two major sects, and the major forces that fled from the north, and became the chief minister of the small southern court."

"He led troops to fight against Daqian in the south for nearly ten years, until the Dragon and Wolf clans besieged Shangyuanfu City, wiped out the imperial court's 200,000-strong army, and captured him alive."

"It is said that in order to subdue him, Da Gan Lang Yao asked him to gather the Han army in the south and offered him various generous surrender conditions, but he rejected them all."

"Later, he was tortured by the wolves in prison until he became inhuman. Legend has it that he was starved to death in the end."

Chu Qiguang nodded slightly after listening to Qiao Zhi's introduction, and thought to himself: "He is a talented person, but he is also firmly committed to the demon-slaying sect, right?"

Qiao Zhi said: "Of course, he is a devout follower of the Tianshi Cult. He has worshiped Taoist Xuanyuan since he was a child. The skills of slaying demons and demons are engraved in his bones."

With Qiao Zhi's help and introduction, Chu Qiguang had a clearer understanding of the intelligence of many people present. This was one of the reasons why he kept Qiao Zhi.

After all, with his current intelligence network and the surveillance of his own people like Qiao Zhi, if he really didn't want Qiao Zhi to come over, the cat demon would be driven back halfway.

Looking at Hua Hanwen whose expression was changing, Chu Qiguang said, "Are you Hua Hanwen?"

"I heard that you have turned clouds and rain in the three southeastern states over the years, expanding the Hua family's business more than ten times. Your swordsmanship from the East China Sea School is also famous in the southeast. In the previous battle, you killed four dragons in a row. ."

Hua Hanwen also forced himself to recover from the shock at this time.

His energy and blood, which had been somewhat out of control, were suppressed again in the blink of an eye, and his previously rosy face returned to normal.

Hua Hanwen slowly exhaled, looked at Chu Qiguang and said, "A small achievement is nothing in front of the Chief Chu."

"I originally heard that Chu Zhen made you have unfathomable martial arts skills, and you have many masters under your command. When I saw you today, you really lived up to your reputation."

Chu Qiguang looked at him with interest, opened his mouth slightly, and the waves of sound brought up a strong wind and swept the entire place.

"The Celestial Master Sect is so late. It doesn't respect this conference or everyone present at all. It won't wait for them."

"Everyone from the four major aristocratic families, the two great sects, as well as the Baiyang Sect and the Holy Fire Sect have all arrived. I am not going to waste time talking nonsense today, so I will skip some useless opening remarks and get straight to the point."

"The purpose of convening the conference is to call on everyone to unite as one and discuss the fight against the demon clan outside the region, defend the Central Plains, and prevent the Gang Qi layer from rupturing."

In the strong wind, some disciples with low martial arts skills were immediately blown back and forth. Some masters stepped forward fiercely and froze in place, but they still looked at Chu Qiguang with a hint of panic. .

"But as the saying goes, a snake cannot survive without a head. For such a major event, it is natural that a senior with unparalleled martial arts skills, high moral standards and high esteem will be in charge of the overall situation."

"And obviously I was the best choice."

"Do you have any objections?"
