Chapter 4399: Destroying One's Lifeline
Wen Mansion, lobby.
Nie Tian sat in the main seat, looking like a powerful dragon suppressing a local snake.
On his left sat Fan Zhong, Tang Shisan and others, and on his right sat a middle-aged man in white, an old man in green with white hair and beard, and Wen Lun.
The middle-aged man in white was Wen Xiang, the head of the Wen family, and the old man in green was Wen Chengjiao, the housekeeper of the Wen Mansion.
On the way to the Wen Mansion, Nie Tian had learned about the general situation of the Wen family from Wen Lun.
Because the previous head of the Wen family, Wen Lun's grandfather, Wen Hou, the leader of the Four Tribulations Banner of Fengtian Mingzong, was seriously injured and had been recovering, so he passed the position of head of the family to his second son Wen Xiang.
Over the years, Wen Xiang has always been in charge of the Wen family.
Perhaps because Wen Xiang himself is calm and low-key, the Wen family has hardly contacted the outside world over the years, and its reputation has weakened a lot.
But even so, the Wen family is still a well-known big family in the Seven Cultivation Saint Realm.
When Wen Hou was in charge of the Wen family, he was always very flamboyant to the outside world. Coupled with the strength of Fengtian Mingzong at that time, the Wen family was already the first family in the Seven Cultivation Saint Realm.
And Wen Hou himself is also very strong, and he is one of the top figures in the Seven Cultivation Saint Realm.
Once, Wen Hou was independently carrying out a sect mission and was besieged by more than a dozen Tianwu Saint Ancestors of the other side. Not only did he not die, but he also killed several people and seriously injured several people.
That battle not only made Fengtian Mingzong famous, but also made the Wen family famous in the Seven Cultivation Saint Realm.
But unfortunately, for some unknown reason, Wen Hou suddenly announced to the outside world that he was seriously injured, and then he stayed at home to recover from his injuries and no longer asked about the affairs of the sect.
Nie Tian specifically asked about Wen Hou's injury, but Wen Lun did not explain it clearly.
Even according to Wen Lun, Wen Hou has been in seclusion for hundreds of years, and even he, the eldest grandson, can't remember how long he hasn't seen Wen Hou.
"Master Wen, I apologize for interrupting you." Nie Tian looked at Wen Xiang, smiled faintly, and apologized.
"What are you talking about, Lord Fenghuang?" Wen Xiang was very respectful and nodded: "Lord Fenghuang came to the Wen family in his busy schedule, which is an honor for our Wen family."
"Master Wen is too polite." Nie Tian smiled again, and then stopped being polite and said directly: "To be honest with Master Wen, I came here mainly to pay a visit to Mr. Wenhou."
Before coming to the Wen family, Wen Lun was still worried whether Nie Tian would harm the Wen family.
But Nie Tian didn't mean that. He came to the Wen family mainly for Mr. Wenhou.
Fengtian Mingzong declined, and the sect was too weak.
Nie Tian had just arrived at the sect, so naturally he wanted to unite all the forces that could be united.
Mr. Wen was very powerful. He was once a peak figure in the Seven Cultivation Saint Realm. Even compared with Leng Shuang Wuchen, he was not weak.
If Wen Hou can be invited out of the Wen Mansion and serve as the leader of Fengtian Banner again, it will undoubtedly be a great help to Fengtian Fate Sect.
When Wen Xiang heard Nie Tian, his eyes sank slightly, and he was obviously not very happy, but he still said respectfully: "Lord Fenghuang, I'm really sorry, I'm afraid you will be disappointed this time. My father was injured in his early years and has been in seclusion for a long time."
Then he looked at Wen Lun and said: "Lun'er, didn't you tell Lord Fenghuang about these things?"
"Second uncle, I..." Wen Lun's face sank and he was a little speechless.
"It's not Wen Lun's fault. He has told me that I insisted on coming." Nie Tian smiled and said lightly: "In fact, I have no other intentions. I mainly want to invite Senior Wen Hou to come out."
"Fenghuang is kind, I thank you on behalf of my father. But my father has an old illness and can't help Fengtian Fate Sect anymore. Please forgive me, Lord Fenghuang." Wen Xiang said, stood up, and bowed to Nie Tian apologetically.
Nie Tian nodded slightly, then looked at Fan Zhong below.
Fan Zhong understood, coughed dryly, and sighed: "Looking back to the past, Fan and Brother Wen fought side by side countless times. I didn't expect that after so many years, we would still be friends."
"Master Fan, you should also know about my father's affairs, please don't force it." How could Wen Xiang not understand Fan Zhong's meaning, he was not polite and said directly.
"I only heard a little about Brother Fan's injury that year. When I wanted to visit him, Brother Fan had already returned to the Wen Mansion." Fan Zhong nodded and said: "Master Wen, I heard that Brother Fan's vitals were injured by someone. Is this true?"
Wen Xiang frowned, as if he was displeased, but still nodded and said: "My father destroyed his vitals because of a bet."
"Disabled his own vitals?" Fan Zhong's eyes trembled, and he was very surprised.
He only heard that Wen Hou's vitals were injured, but he didn't expect that he actually destroyed his own vitals.
For a warrior with a destiny, the importance of lifeline is almost equal to that of Yuanmai.
Especially the warriors of Fengtian Mingzong, who specialize in lifeline, even the martial arts techniques they practice are based on lifeline.
In this case, once the lifeline is destroyed, the warrior will almost become a useless person.
More importantly, the lifeline is closely related to the vitality of the warrior. If the lifeline is destroyed, the warrior's life span will inevitably suffer fatal damage.
And the injury of Wen Hou happened tens of thousands of years ago.
So now, is Wen Hou still alive?
Could it be that the Wen family has been claiming that Wen Hou is recovering from illness, but the actual situation is that Wen Hou has already fallen?
This possibility is not small, because Wen Hou is indispensable to maintain the original reputation of the Wen family.
Perhaps this is also the reason why the Wen family has been so low-key over the years.
"Don't worry, Master Fan. Although my father's lifeline is broken, he is still alive. He is just in seclusion and cannot see anyone." Seeing Fan Zhong's expression, Wen Xiang had already guessed what the latter was thinking, and nodded solemnly.
"That's good." Fan Zhong reacted, knowing that he had lost his composure, and nodded quickly, then looked at Nie Tian and said, "Lord Fenghuang, since Brother Fan is not suitable to see guests, let's go back."
His meaning was very clear, that is, to tell Nie Tian that Wen Hou's lifeline was broken, and he was of no value to Fengtian Mingzong. Staying here would be a waste of time.
Nie Tian smiled faintly, looked at Wen Xiang, paused, and said, "Master Wen, if I say that I have a way to restore the lifeline for Senior Wen Hou, do you believe it?"
Wen Xiang was stunned at first, then his face sank, and he said coldly, "Lord Fenghuang, please don't joke."
Lifeline is more complicated than the warrior's Yuanmai.
Although there is a chance to restore the warrior's Yuanmai, it is extremely difficult.
Moreover, the stronger the warrior is, the harder it is to recover after the Yuanmai is destroyed.
This is also the reason why those warriors who have entered the Saint Realm can never recover once the Yuanmai is destroyed.
The same is true for the lifeline, and it is more difficult than the Yuanmai.
At that time, Wen Hou’s fate cultivation had reached the realm of life, and after it was destroyed, it was impossible to recover.
Nie Tian now said that he could help Wen Hou recover his lifeline, which was clearly a provocation.
Wen Xiang was still able to speak patiently at this time, which was already giving enough face to Nie Tian, the Fenghuang.
"This emperor is not joking, this emperor does have a way to help senior Wen Hou recover his lifeline." But Nie Tian was serious and repeated it again.
