Yuan Jihu and the Song family's old patriarch were in a building deep in the House of the Song family.
"Patriarch, what do you want to say to me?" Yuan Jihu was also confused.
Speaking of which, the old patriarch of the Song family did not have much contact with the city lord of Hao feng city. When Yuan Jihu was the mayor of Hao feng city, the Song family's old patriarch had retired, and Song Zhongshan, who had been killed today, was in charge of the Song family.
However, Yuan Jihu was also more careful. When he was outside, he could hear the words of the Song family's old patriarch, so he temporarily gave up on attacking Jing Yan.
The Song family patriarch squinted and looked at Yuan Jihu.
"Lord city lord, I attacked that young man just now, and you saw it with your own eyes. What do you think of my cultivation?" The old patriarch spoke slowly.
"The strength of the old clan leader is incomparably strong. He must be close to the taoist realm." Yuan Jihu didn't know why the Song family's old patriarch said this, but he responded honestly.
"Does the city lord feel that if you were to fight with me, you would have the confidence to kill me?" The Song family patriarch asked again.
"I'm not sure." Yuan Jihu's face darkened slightly.
In fact, he felt that if he fought with the Song family's old patriarch, it was likely that he would fail.
"That's why I stopped you. That young man is not beneath me!" The old patriarch's eyes suddenly opened and he said in a frozen voice.
"What?"
"How is this possible? His martial arts skills were not defeated by the old clan leader!" Yuan Jihu was shocked.
"Not exactly!" The old patriarch shook his head. "The martial arts that I have put into practice has defeated the young man's martial arts. However, the power of my martial arts was also consumed by more than 90 %. There was little power left. So even if that young man was attacked directly by my martial arts power, he would be unscathed."
Hearing this, Yuan Jihu's expression changed again.
He couldn't believe it, but he couldn't find any reason why the Song family patriarch had lied to him. Jing Yan had killed so many people in the Song family, so even if the old chief of the Song family did not hate jing yan to the bone, he would definitely favor jing yan. Therefore, he could not find a reason for the old patriarch to lie.
Before the old patriarch said this, Yuan Jihu really did not think that Jing Yan could withstand the old patriarch's blow unscathed because there was not much left of that blow.
"So! This young man is very strong! I can say that he is not below me. If I fight, I will be killed more than 80 % of the time." The old patriarch continued.
Yuan Jihu was too shocked to speak.
He admitted that he was slightly weaker than the Song family's old patriarch. However, the Song family's old patriarch said that if he fought with that person, the odds of winning were less than 20 %. So what would happen if he fought that man?
Thinking of this, Yuan Jihu broke out in a cold sweat.
"That's just one reason. There's a second reason why I don't want you to do it. The second reason is that the young man's age." The old patriarch kept looking at Yuan Jihu's expression. He knew that Yuan Jihu's heart must be in turmoil at this time and he could not control it.
"Age?" Yuan Jihu repeated subconsciously.
"What's wrong with that man's age? He looks young, but he must have used some elixirs or herbs to keep his face in place. Isn't he really that young?" Yuan Jihu sneered.
He had always heard from the old patriarch about young people, but he thought that because the person was young, the old patriarch called the young people. But who knows how old he really is?
According to his appearance, he was only about twenty years old. But if it was a twenty year old warrior, would he be able to compete with the Song family's old patriarch?
Isn't that a joke?
"Lord mayor, you are wrong about this." The old patriarch smiled and said, "That man's age is not exactly what I dare to say, but I'm sure it doesn't differ much from his appearance!"
Yuan Jihu, staring blankly at the old clan leader!
Not much different from looks?
Was the old patriarch trying to say that the man was only about twenty years old?
Yuan Jihu couldn't help but want to laugh. Isn't this a joke? Twenty year old Dao Spiritual Realm warrior? Can you compete with the Dao Spiritual Realm's best?
Yuan Jihu looked at the old patriarch's eyes and said, "Don't tease me. I'm not stupid."
The old patriarch seemed to have predicted that Yuan Jihu would not believe him, so he smiled.
He continued unhurriedly, "Lord mayor, can you see that my life force is slipping away?"
"Well, I can feel it in general." Yuan Jihu nodded.
Indeed, he could vaguely sense that the longevity of the Song family's old patriarch was rapidly drying up. Without accident, he would die within ten years. Life expectancy was exhausted, which was irreversible. Even if there is an elixir for prolonging life, it can not be repeated. The first time it is effective, but the second time it is taken, the effect will decrease rapidly, and the third time may not have any effect.
"Then you should also know that no matter what kind of elixirs or herbs a martial artist uses, they can't change his life force and spirit, right?" The old patriarch asked again.
"I know that," Yuan Jihu nodded again.
"I am nearing my birthday, and my sense of life force and spirit has become very acute. So I can feel the real age of that young man, just like the rising sun in the morning!" When the old patriarch said this, he felt a little emotional.
Yuan Jihu, on the other hand, looked as if his eyes were about to be canthus shaped.
It suddenly occurred to him that people who were nearing the birthday had a very keen sense of life force and spirit.
At this point, his shock had reached a limit.
If what the old clan leader said was true, then... How could that person be? How could there be such a talented martial artist in the Blue qu county region?
Yuan Jihu swallowed hard.
"I think this young man must be extraordinary. If you fight with him, even if you can kill him in the end, what will the city lord do if he comes from a big family?" The old patriarch waited for a while until Yuan Jihu had digested the information he had just heard before continuing.
Yuan Jihu turned his eyes sharply.
Yes!
A 20-year-old Dao Spiritual Realm, a peerless genius comparable to the peak of the Dao Spiritual Realm, could be unknown?
The old patriarch looked at Yuan Jihu and said everything he had to say. It was Yuan Jihu's own business to decide.
In fact, he did this not for Yuan Jihu, but for the Song family. At this time, the Song family had already lost its strength. With him, the Song family could still stand. But he didn't have much life. When he died, what would the Song family do?
