The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family novel Chapter 5726

With that thought in mind, Fleur’s thoughts instantly wandered back to the year 1650, which was more than three hundred years ago.

There was an inaccessible and forbidden place on Mount Tason. There were no residents at all within a hundred miles, and the reason was that there had been a bizarre miasma here since hundreds of years ago.

The miasma lingered without dispersing, and anyone who entered would suffer from headaches, nausea, and disorientation. No matter which direction they went, they would eventually end up outside the miasma.

Moreover, those who inhaled the miasma would suffer from severe headaches and nausea for several months, enduring extreme suffering. Some foolhardy individuals were even determined to explore the center of the miasma, and they ended up dying inside.

As a result, over time, the people around the mountain kept their distance from this place and considered it an absolutely forbidden place.

However, these people did not know that the center of this miasma was actually the location where Marcius had secluded himself for cultivation. That miasma was simply a formation he set up to isolate himself from the disturbances of mortals.

He sought longevity single-mindedly and lived alone in this mountain for hundreds of years.

When Fleur and Elijah were pursued by the Qing army into Mount Talon, they had no choice but to seek refuge in this seemingly endless miasma.

If it weren't for the Qing army setting fire to the mountains, angering Marcius, he wouldn't have unexpectedly saved the two of them.

After Marcius saved them, he learned that the outside world had undergone drastic changes, with their army being overthrown by the Qing army. This saddened him, prompting him to take Fleur and Elijah as his disciples. He imparted his skills to them in order to allow them to continue fighting against the Qing army.

As for himself, he still could not let go of his desire for longevity and continued to cultivate bitterly on Mount Talon.

They knew their strength was limited and that they couldn't fight against the Qing army. Coupled with the fact that the Qing army was searching for them everywhere, they had no choice but to return to Mount Talon and seek refuge with Marcius again.

Unexpectedly, Marcius had already reached the end of his life at that time.

With that in mind, Fleur’s thoughts fast-forwarded again, arriving at the spring of the year 1663. The scenes from that year once again appeared in her mind.

She was meditating with Elijah when the elderly Marcius, with snow-white eyebrows and beard, stooped in front of them and said calmly, “Elijah, Fleur, come with me.”

The two only felt that their master seemed unusually tired today, but they didn't notice anything amiss.
