Chapter 2759
At this very moment, on an uninhabited island in South America covered in ice and snow.
Wu Feiyan was taking Wu Tianlin through the vast underground structure within the island.
The two arrived at the deepest part of the underground building. Here, there was a space completely sealed in rock. In this space, there was one, and only one, ventilation shaft connecting to the outside world.
And the three elders of the Anti-Qing Society were currently in seclusion here.
Interestingly, in the hundred years the three had been in seclusion, they had, without knowing it, followed the Anti-Qing Society across more than half the globe, from China, via Oceania, and finally to South America.
These three had long since completely cut off all contact with the outside world, and at the same time, used Qi to tightly wrap their bodies, causing their metabolism to almost come to a standstill. They had no idea how much time had passed in the outside world; they only knew instinctively to continuously circulate their Qi, continuously make their Qi more pure, and continuously use their Qi to impact the Niwan Palace, attempting to open it completely.
When Wu Feiyan arrived in this room, the three were already as thin as sticks, like three mummified corpses.
However, Wu Feiyan could feel that hidden within their withered bodies was very powerful and pure Qi. These three were truly only one step away from breaking open the Niwan Palace. The one with the fastest progress was at most ten years of cultivation away from breaking it open.
At this moment, Wu Feiyan said with some regret: "If we waited another ten or twenty years, once you three broke open the Niwan Palace, the Anti-Qing Society could walk sideways across the world. It's just a pity that the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse, and I can only let you three come out of seclusion early to help me eliminate the powerful enemy hidden in the dark."
As she spoke, she gathered Qi at her fingertips, then silently operated her mental cultivation method, and pointed into the void toward the three!
Immediately after, three surging streams of Qi quickly submerged into the three's withered, even somewhat waxen bodies. In an instant, the three's bodies began to recover their color and luster like withered wood meeting spring!
About the time it takes to burn a stick of incense later, one of the old men, who looked to be about fifty, suddenly opened his eyes. He first looked at himself, then looked at Wu Feiyan in front of him. A trace of disappointment quickly flashed across his expression, but this disappointment was fleeting. He immediately stood up without hesitation, performed a kneeling kowtow to Wu Feiyan, and shouted piously: "Subordinate Wu Bolin, pays respects to the Great Lord!"
The other two also opened their eyes at this time. The disappointment in their eyes was also fleeting. Then, seeing Wu Bolin kneeling on the ground, they hurriedly followed behind him to kneel and pay their respects.
"Subordinate Wu Bowen, pays respects to the Great Lord!"
"Subordinate Wu Bozhong, pays respects to the Great Lord!"
Wu Feiyan saw the flash of disappointment when the three had just woken up, so she said: "The three of you have been in seclusion for a hundred years; it has truly been hard on you!"
"A hundred years?!"
The three were all stunned. None of them expected that this seclusion would actually last for a hundred years!
Moreover, they were even more surprised that after a hundred years of seclusion, they still hadn't been able to break open the Niwan Palace!
What surprised them most was that after a hundred years of seclusion, just as they were about to break open the Niwan Palace, they were awakened by the Great Lord at the final moment.
Although the three felt extremely helpless, facing Wu Feiyan at this time, they naturally dared not show it.
After all, the three were all members of the Wu family, descendants of Wu Feiyan, and it was Wu Feiyan who brought them into the Dao. It was truly a pity that they failed to break open the Niwan Palace after a hundred years of seclusion, but at most, it would just take another ten or twenty years. A hundred years had passed in the blink of an eye, so ten or twenty years didn't seem like much.
So, Wu Bolin said respectfully: "The Great Lord suddenly awakened the three of us; there must be an urgent task that requires us to handle. Sharing the Great Lord's worries is our honor. Please, Great Lord, give your orders!"
The other two also said in unison: "Please, Great Lord, give your orders!"
Wu Feiyan was very satisfied with the performance of the three at this time. What she wanted was their absolute obedience; otherwise, she wouldn't have taught them the mental cultivation method to break open the Niwan Palace in the first place.
Moreover, the mental cultivation method Wu Feiyan taught them was already slightly incomplete.
Although they had been in seclusion for a hundred years, if Wu Feiyan did not assist from the outside in the final few years, the three of them would never be able to break open the Niwan Palace.
Even if the Niwan Palace was right in front of them, even if it was just separated by the last layer of window paper, without Wu Feiyan, they could not break through this last layer.
However, the three of them had no way of knowing this at the moment.
Therefore, in Wu Feiyan's view, if the three of them valued cultivation more than her orders at this moment, she would have to limit their final breakthrough to prevent them from becoming uncontrollable after breaking through the Niwan Palace.
Immediately, Wu Feiyan said to the three: "The Anti-Qing Society has encountered many foreign enemies recently. After you went into seclusion, three of the four Earls I cultivated have died, but I still haven't figured out the identity of the enemy."
The three looked at each other, their expressions all stern.
They thought the Anti-Qing Society might have encountered trouble, but they didn't expect it to be this troublesome.
So, Wu Bolin said without hesitation: "Great Lord, the three of us are willing to solve your worries!"
Wu Feiyan nodded slightly and said: "Time is tight. The three of you go with Tianlin to prepare. In one hour, a plane will send you to Jin Ling."
After saying this, she turned around, called Wu Tianlin in from outside the door, and said to the three: "This is Tianlin, the eldest son of Yufeng."
Upon hearing this, the three were immediately surprised.
Wu Yufeng was their grand-nephew and also the eldest son of the Wu family of that generation.
Every eldest son of the Wu family was cultivated personally by Wu Feiyan. The three didn't expect that the nephew's son would already be an octogenarian.
Wu Tianlin bowed to the three very respectfully at this moment and said with great reverence: "Wu family grandson Wu Tianlin, pays respects to the three grandfathers!"
The three hurriedly reached out to lift him up, exchanging pleasantries.
Although Wu Tianlin was a junior, the three knew very well that they had been in seclusion for a hundred years and had no idea what the outside world was like. They would inevitably need Wu Tianlin's help in private in the future. Moreover, he was someone who followed the Great Lord, and they would inevitably need to deal with him in the future, so naturally, they put aside some of their airs and were more polite.
After the four exchanged pleasantries, Wu Feiyan said: "Alright, we are all family. You can catch up later. The three of you go with Tianlin to prepare. There are at least twenty hours on the road. If you want to know what this world has become, Tianlin will explain it to you clearly during these twenty hours."
After saying this, she asked Wu Tianlin: "Tianlin, there's no problem with the three elders taking a plane directly to Jin Ling, right?"
Wu Tianlin hurriedly said: "Reporting to the Great Lord, your subordinate has followed your instructions. Every twenty years, I change a set of identity information for the three elders. The latest version of the passports is with me. The three elders will definitely be able to enter the country smoothly!"
"Good!" Wu Feiyan's expression turned gloomy, and she said coldly: "Depart as soon as possible! After arriving in Jin Ling, besides killing everyone in the An family, kill anyone else you suspect as well! You must exterminate them all; you must not leave any future trouble!"
The four said in unison: "Subordinate obeys!"
