CHAPTER 1044: CHAPTER 449: TO ALLY WITH JIN OR NOT, ZHAO YUAN AND WANG DENG (3)

The terrifying oppressive pressure made Hou Yucheng, along with Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie standing beside him, instantly freeze in expression...

"Old servant Wang Deng..."

"Old servant Zhao Yuan..."

"Greetings, First Young Master, Second Young Miss, Third Young Master, Fourth Young Master!"

Hou Yucheng was completely bewildered. Even seeing Zhao Si and Wang Wu bowing before him, he couldn’t react at all, his mind filled with confusion and shock.

"You are the Sub-Saints of Martial Dao, this... how can it be!"

Hou Yujie voiced Hou Yucheng’s confusion. That’s right, the three of them could clearly sense that the aura of Wang Wu and Zhao Si was able to suppress them. All three were currently at the Shattered Realm in cultivation, so merely through aura, they were subdued. The cultivation of these two didn’t need to be spoken about.

Wang Wu, Zhao Si, were Sub-Saints of Martial Dao!

No, it’s Zhao Yuan, Wang Deng, this... how is this possible...

Hou Yucheng exchanged glances with Hou Yuling and Hou Yujie, and unanimously turned their eyes towards Hou Yuduan, who remained silent with his head down. Suddenly, the three understood something, and their expressions grew somber.

Indeed, Old Fifth had broken through to Sub-Saint after following Big Brother, which meant Wang Wu and Zhao Si’s cultivation was something they had likely known all along. Not only that, but also the matter of Wuwei King... Hou Jing was something Big Brother and Old Fifth were already aware of.

A myriad of thoughts flashed through the hearts of the three, and quickly they sorted through their thoughts. As long as Zhao Si and Wang Wu were linked to Hou Jing, many things could suddenly be explained.

After figuring out the identities of the two, a new confounding thought surfaced in their minds, even including Hou Yuduan beside them, a trace of puzzlement appearing on his face.

"Zhao... the way you addressed us, it’s not right?"

Hou Yucheng initially wanted to call them Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhao, but felt a strange sense of unfamiliarity and changed the address.

Hou Yuxiao was the eldest, he was the second, Hou Yuling the third, Hou Yujie the fourth, and Old Fifth was Hou Yuduan. By calculation, he wouldn’t be called this First Young Master.

Zhao Yuan and Wang Deng exchanged a glance, apparently reached some tacit understanding. They stepped forward a little, speaking loudly:

"The old slave’s address is correct..."

At this point, he paused, his tone suddenly heavy, and continued: "First Young Master Hou Yuxiao has already passed away, so the Second Young Master naturally advances to become the eldest, thus the old slave’s address of First Young Master is correct."

First Young Master Hou Yuxiao... has died?

Hou Yucheng and the others’ expressions changed dramatically, a hint of panic appeared in their pupils. After a moment of consideration, Hou Yuduan angrily exclaimed: "How dare you speak nonsense here, the treasury of the divine sect hasn’t opened, and no one knows what’s inside, even those from the Holy Land haven’t received news, how did you find out?"

Zhao Yuan realized the four thought he referred to Hou Yuxiao having trouble in the divine sect treasury, shook his head immediately, and looking at the confused faces of the four, spoke softly: "The First Young Master I mentioned isn’t Hou Yuxiao in the treasury!"

The hearts of four were immediately more bewildered.

"First Young Master Hou Yuxiao, died fourteen years ago!"

It was now 1333, fourteen years ago would be the New Yu Era of 1319. This year flashed through the minds of the four, their faces first sank, but then as though realizing something, they suddenly raised their heads to look at Zhao Yuan and Wang Deng.

They seemed to understand something......
