casket of old days

Chapter 787

Hua Hanwen came from the Hua family, one of the four great families in the southeast.

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

Not only are there many Wu Jinshi and Wu Juren in the clan, but there have been many masters in the past dynasties, and the martial arts are strong.

In the family history of the Hua family, there were even cabinet elders.

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

Without the guarantee of sufficient force, the Hua family's strength and business began to decline little by little, becoming the bottom of the four great families.

At that time, Hua Hanwen was just the concubine's son of the previous patriarch. He hadn't shown anything special since he was a child, and he was never taken seriously. He was a transparent person in the family.

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

Hua Hanwen has extraordinary aptitude in the way of swordsmanship, and the East China Sea School is the most holy place of swordsmanship in the world.

In just ten years, he made breakthroughs again and again, and finally achieved the position of Martial God.

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

Even those elder brothers and younger brothers who were defeated by him were subdued by him one by one, and stayed in the Hua family to serve him.

Afterwards, under his power, the Hua family sold many of their original properties in disregard of the opposition of many older generations in the family, and began to operate maritime trade business, and even formed their own fleet.

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

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

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

The Chamber of Commerce will have a huge fleet built by the imperial shipyard, and there will be martial arts masters trained by the two schools, who will control the islands in the southeast sea, become the real maritime overlord, and monopolize all maritime trade.

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

First, the court of the Han Dynasty was precarious, and the situation in various places was unstable.

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

Now even Chu Qiguang came to lead them to fight against some alien monster clan.

Hua Hanwen had secretly united with the various factions present at the meeting, and decided to drive Chu Qiguang out of Southeast together.

But at this moment, when he stepped into the school field confidently and looked at Chu Qiguang's side, his face immediately changed slightly.

At this moment, whether it is Chu Qiguang, Bubai Buddha, Li Yaofeng, or even the powerful practitioners beside Chu Qiguang, they are all unscrupulously releasing their aura and coercion.

This is also Chu Qiguang's order. He wants to show his strength at the beginning, severely frighten the various factions in the southeast, and firmly control the situation, lest they use their wrong brains and make things worse.

So when Hua Hanwen glanced at Lei Yushu, Mi Siri and other masters who had entered the Tao, he was already surprised.

Then when his eyes swept over Shen Rusong, Li Yaofeng, and Bubai Buddha, the three powerhouses in the realm of manifesting spirits, his face became more and more serious.

And when his eyes locked on Chu Qiguang who was sitting on the grand teacher's chair, intense shock had already surfaced on his face.

Even the normally functioning qi and blood were slightly out of control, making his cheeks appear rosy.

In Hua Hanwen's eyes, Chu Qiguang on the opposite side was like the sun hanging high in the sky, and the energy and blood in his body enveloped the entire school grounds with endless light and heat.

And the scorching blood energy is not aggressive at all, but 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 speaker 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... to fight in the Central Plains. After defeating the city of Shenjing, the remaining forces of the big man retreated to the south. Under his leadership, a small southern court was established."

"Later, he joined forces with the four great families, the two great schools, and the major forces that escaped from the north, and became the chief assistant of the small southern court."

"He led troops to fight Daqian in the south for nearly ten years, until the dragon and wolf tribes besieged the city of Shangyuan Mansion, wiped out the imperial court's 20 troops, and captured him alive."

"It is said that in order to subdue him, the Daqian wolf demon asked him to gather the southern Han army, and offered him various generous surrender conditions, but he rejected them all."

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

Listening to Qiao Zhi's introduction, Chu Qiguang nodded slightly, and said in his heart, "He is a talent, but he is also determined to kill the demon sect, right?"

Qiao Zhi said: "Of course, he is a devout follower of the Tianshi Sect. He has worshiped Xuanyuan Taoist since he was a child, and the way of killing demons and demons is engraved in his bones."

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

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

Seeing Hua Hanwen whose expression changed again and again, Chu Qiguang said, "You are Hua Hanwen?"

"I heard that you have turned your hands into clouds and rain in the three southeastern states over the years, and expanded the business of the Hua family by more than ten times. The swordsmanship of the Eastern Sea School is also famous in the southeast. In the previous battle, you killed four dragons in a row. .”

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

His blood that was a little out of control was repressed in a blink of an eye, and his previously rosy face returned to normal.

Hua Hanwen let out a breath slowly, looked at Chu Qiguang and said, "A small achievement is nothing in front of Chu Zhenshi."

"Originally, I heard that Chu Zhen made you unfathomable in martial arts, and there are also a lot of masters under his command. Seeing you today is really well-deserved."

Chu Qiguang looked at him with great interest, opened his mouth slightly, and the sound waves brought a strong wind and swept the audience.

"Tianshijiao has been late for so long, and he doesn't respect this conference at all, and he doesn't respect everyone present, so he won't wait for them."

"The four great families, the two great schools, and everyone from the Baiyang Sect and the Holy Fire Sect have all arrived. I don't intend to waste time talking nonsense today. I'll just skip some useless opening remarks and talk straight."

"The purpose of holding the conference is to call on all of you to unite as one to discuss fighting against the monster races outside the territory, defending the land of the Central Plains, and preventing the rupture of the stellar atmosphere."

In the gust of wind, some disciples with low martial arts skills were immediately blown back again and again, and some masters slammed into their horses and stayed in place, but there was still a hint of panic in their eyes looking at Chu Qiguang .

"But the so-called snake can't do without a head. For such a major event, it is natural to have a senior with world-class martial arts, high morals, and respected by everyone to preside over the overall situation."

"And obviously, I'm the best candidate."

"Do you have any objections?"
