After descending the mountain, the aloof female CEO became attached to me.

"So, you're saying my father is very powerful?"

Chu Tian asked in surprise.

"It's not just amazing, it's downright insane."

The old man looked at him with admiration, "Your father, Chu Tianjun, is arguably the most powerful person I have ever met in my life."

"Ten years ago, at the age of thirty-five, he reached the pinnacle of martial arts, fighting against eighteen grandmasters single-handedly."

"That battle can be said to be the most exciting duel in the Chinese martial arts world in nearly a hundred years."

"Your father is unmatched among the eighteen grandmasters, possessing unparalleled beauty and talent."

“If someone hadn’t kidnapped your mother and threatened her life, your father wouldn’t have been defeated.”

At this point, the old man suddenly sighed heavily and said regretfully, "It's a pity that a hero dies young; he could never be an enemy of the entire nation of China."

Chu Tian was shocked and stood there dumbfounded.

In his memory, his father was a refined and gentle businessman.

He wasn't exactly weak, but he had never seen his father fight a single time.

On one occasion, when he was harassed by thugs and beaten until his head bled, he didn't fight back at all.

That's why, when Chu Tian was a child, he thought his father was a very cowardly person.

But when the Chu family was in trouble, his father risked his life to send him away from the Chu family. Only then did he realize that his father was not a coward.

So-called cowardice is nothing more than being broad-minded and not wanting to bother with trash.

However, Chu Tian never knew that his father was actually a martial arts master.

He alone has the strength of eighteen martial arts masters, which means he must be at least at the Grandmaster level.

No wonder those people joined forces to deal with the Chu family.

"Little one, now you know how powerful your father is, right?"

Seeing Chu Tian's blank stare, the old man sneered, "It's not that I look down on you, but compared to your father, you're far inferior. You should train for a few more years before thinking about revenge..."

Whoosh!

However, before he could finish speaking, he saw the green flames suddenly igniting in Chu Tian's palm, and he immediately swallowed the rest of his words, his eyes wide with shock.

"You, you've manifested true qi in human form, you're a grandmaster?"

A martial artist who can transform internal energy into true qi can release it externally.

Grandmaster martial artists can materialize their true energy, increasing their combat power dozens of times.

One man can fight against ten thousand, one man can control a city.

The old man never dreamed that Chu Tian, ​​at such a young age, would already have reached the Grandmaster realm.

"Take a closer look."

Chu Tian waved his hand, and flames suddenly burst into flames.

The cold basement suddenly warmed up, becoming as hot as an oven.

Chu Tian's flames were almost indistinguishable from real flames.

The old man was completely dumbfounded. "This is the materialization of true qi. Only a grandmaster can do this."

"Who are you?"

Grandmaster martial artists can manifest their true energy, but it is merely a form without substance.

Chu Tian, ​​however, can materialize his true energy, a hallmark of a Grandmaster martial artist.

How old is he?

He's actually a Grandmaster?

"All you need to know is that I am the son of Chu Tianjun."

"As for your other identities, you are not qualified to know."

Chu Tian withdrew the flames and said indifferently.

"It seems that I underestimated you."

"Talented people emerge in every generation, and the Yangtze River's waves push the previous ones forward."

"You are quite good, worthy of being the son of Chu Tianjun."

The old man could only manage a wry smile.

He was staring intently at Chu Tian just now, but he didn't expect that Chu Tian's realm had already reached the Grandmaster level.

In the secular martial arts world, grandmaster-level martial artists are already highly sought after by the top families in the capital.

The Grandmaster's status is so high that even the top families must bow down to him.

"To be able to witness the grandmaster's splendor before my death is enough to make me die without regrets."

The old man suddenly sighed and closed his eyes with contentment.

He was already exhausted and nearing the end of his life.

"I can extend your life by five years, but you will have to work for me from now on."

Chu Tian looked at the old man and suddenly said.

"What did you say?"

The old man suddenly opened his eyes and exclaimed, "You can extend my life?"

"Yes."

Chu Tian took out a pill from his pocket. "This is a longevity pill that I personally refined. It can extend the lifespan of a Grandmaster martial artist by at least five years."

"But you must return to the Lin family in the capital to gather evidence for me and find the real culprit from back then."

The old man was overjoyed; no one wants to die, every extra day is a blessing.

But in just a moment, his expression darkened.

"Forget it. Even if I go back to the Lin family, there's nothing I can do for you."

"Besides, my daughter is still with the Lin family. If my identity is exposed, my daughter won't survive."

Chu Tian frowned. "Are they using your daughter as a hostage?"

The old man nodded. "Otherwise, why do you think they let me go? After all, I was one of the participants in the attack on your father back then, so I know some of the secrets."

"Now that I've lost my cultivation, they can just kill me. The only reason they let me leave is because my daughter is in their hands."

"They let me go because they were sure I wouldn't talk nonsense."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian asked in confusion, "Now that you've revealed the secrets from back then, aren't you afraid that the Lin family will find out and cause trouble for your daughter?"

The old man smiled bitterly, "If the Lin family finds out about this, they will definitely not let my daughter off the hook."

"But Gao Shengqiang said he could save my daughter and even promised to give her 100 million yuan."

"I trust him, and I also felt somewhat guilty, which is why I told him what I knew."

Chu Tian frowned again, "You feel guilty for participating in the attack on my father?"

The old man nodded emphatically, “That’s right. I had no choice back then. As a retainer of the Lin family, I could only obey orders.”

“But when I saw your father, severely injured, still risking his life to send you out of the Chu family, I could have taken the opportunity to kill your father and you.”

"But in the end, I couldn't bring myself to do it."

Chu Tian was puzzled. "Why? If you kill us, you'll have done a great service to the Lin family."

The old man smiled coldly and said arrogantly, "Although I, Sun Tianzhong, am no hero, I would never stoop to harming a child."

“If I hadn’t been forced by life back then, I wouldn’t have done such a dirty thing.”

"But God was kind to me, and when I was fifty, I was able to cure my wife's illness and she gave birth to a daughter."

"The moment I saw the child, I thought of you back then."

"What goes around comes around. If I had killed you back then, I wouldn't have had this child!"

Chu Tian couldn't help but laugh, "I didn't expect you to be so kind-hearted, knowing how to accumulate good fortune for yourself."

"Very well, since you're not about to die, let's just let bygones be bygones."

"Tell me your daughter's name, and I'll try to rescue her if I get the chance."
