Wancheng fought a shocking battle, and only a handful of people knew the inside story, but the final result was that the wind was all over the world.

It is rumored that Mr. Su is dead.

But no one dared to say that they had ever seen Mr. Su's bones.

There is no corpse in the dead, so it stands to reason that for a person of Mr. Su's realm and status, how can life and death be lightly judged?

But no one questioned this.

This in itself is the best proof of this.

The Great Yan Empire openly publicized the great achievements of General Mu Zhe, which is of course understandable.

But the Great Liang Empire did not refute the rumors to stabilize the hearts of the people, the army, and the country, and the reason for this is very interesting.

If Mr. Su was still alive, Emperor Liang would not let the country be in turmoil, and the Star Hall would not be angry and silent.

Of course, this can only be regarded as some side evidence.

What really made people believe in Mr. Su's death was another major event that happened in Qingzhou, Daliang.

The Xia family, one of the eight families in Qingzhou, was slaughtered overnight!

3,482 lives, not a single one was spared!

When the stargazing conference was coming to an end and the battle of Wancheng had just begun, almost everyone didn't know that at the same time, on the same land, there were actually not just two battles happening, but three!

Even Luochuan, who is as careful as a hair, misses Qingzhou and the Xia family!

But how could Mr. Shadow forget when he had been planning for a long time?

Oh, by the way, from now on, Mr. Shadow has his own name.

His name is Su Nian.

It is a name that has long been forgotten by the Great Liang Empire.

He is the younger brother of Mr. Su.

Perhaps it is precisely because Mr. Su's light is so dazzling that the world has never cared, but in fact, the Su family is a three-master.

The eldest brother, Su Youming, is the master of the Hall of Stars.

The second brother, Su Nian, became the shadow of the hall master.

The last Su Yu, who is hidden from the world, is the most mysterious.

So in fact, this rebellion of Su Nian is not only a civil war in the Star Palace, a plot of rebellion and treason, but also fratricide!

He didn't know if his eldest brother could escape under the gun of Mu Zhe, the first god general of the Yan Kingdom, but he had to cut off all the other party's way of life.

So the Xia family, can't stay!

Especially when Su Nian saw Xia Xinyue and his third brother at the stargazing conference, he knew that he had ushered in the best opportunity.

He wouldn't hurt Xia Xinyue and Su Yu, but in the original plan, these two should be his last bargaining chips.

In case Su Youming made a big comeback.

It's a pity that because of Luo Chuan's appearance, Su Yu successfully escaped with Xia Xinyue.

But they have become homeless.

Because at the same time, the Secret Guard Army, which had been ambushed outside Qingzhou early, had launched a suicidal raid on the Xia family under Su Nian's remote command!

As one of the eight great families in Qingzhou, the Xia family has been favored by the Star Palace for many years, and its strength is certainly not weak, but after losing Su Yu, a powerhouse of the Broken Star Realm, and the traitors in the family, they were quickly defeated.

If it weren't for Xia Qiulan, the head of the Xia family, who stimulated the big array in the clan in time and retreated to the inner hall of the Xia family, I'm afraid this battle would have ended faster.

But even so, in the face of more and more enemies outside the formation, Xia Qiulan still seemed to be alone, so in a hurry, she thought of the Xia family's biggest alliance in Qingzhou.

Ling Jian Sect.

Since the Battle of the Moon Shadow Secret Realm, because of Luo Chuan's rescue of Xia Xinyue, the Xia family has reached an offensive and defensive alliance with Ling Jianzong.

This matter was also recognized by the Supreme Elder of the Ling Sword Sect, Lin Ru.

Seeing that all the strong enemies outside the formation were from the secret guards of the Star Palace, Xia Qiulan didn't know that there was something wrong with the Star Palace, and outside the Star Palace, the closest reinforcement to the Xia family was Ling Jian Sect!

So Xia Qiulan made what she thought was the most correct decision.

She opened the teleportation circle built by the two sides after reaching an offensive and defensive alliance with Ling Jianzong, and sent nine distress letters to Ling Jianzong one after another!

But what was desperate was that until the moment when the great array was completely shattered, the Xia family did not wait for Ling Jian Sect's rescue.

The children of the Xia family kept cursing the treachery of the Ling Sword Sect in the final charge, but they never thought that from the beginning to the end, these nine letters for help could not be delivered to the disciples of the Ling Sword Sect.

It's not because there's a problem with the teleportation array.

Instead, the person in charge of guarding the teleportation array in the Ling Sword Sect had a problem.

……

As the first sect in Qingzhou, Ling Jianzong has many disciples, so at the management level, it implements a policy of tightening the outside and loosening the inside.

The so-called tight on the outside and loose on the inside means that every disciple who worships the Ling Sword Sect will be strictly investigated for their background and selected for virtue before taking the entrance assessment to prevent being infiltrated by the enemy.

However, after becoming a disciple of the Ling Sword Sect, the elders and halls of the sect would maintain 100% trust in their own disciples, and they would not take necessary measures unless they really discovered their inappropriate behavior.

In the past few years, there had been very few rebellions in the Ling Sword Sect, and even if someone really did something rebellious, it was almost impossible for them to escape from the mountain gate alive.

Except for one person.

It was a name that had been forgotten for a long time.

Yang Lin.

Speaking of this name, let alone the Great Liang Empire, even if you look at the Qingzhou cultivation world, I'm afraid few people have heard of it.

Because compared with amazing and glamorous people like Luo Chuan, Mo Youxue, and Liao Tan, Yang Lin is just a small person.

But it was such a small person, but he became the only person in Ling Jian Sect who had committed a great crime of rebellion in the past few decades, but was able to escape from the heavens.

What crime did Yang Lin commit?

Mutilating fellow disciples.

Who's that fellow disciple?

Luochuan.

The time is on the last day of the seventy-ninth year of the Star Calendar.

That is, Chinese New Year's Eve.

On that day, Yang Lin was ordered by the elder of the Ling Sword Sect's Torture Hall, Xu Cheng, to join forces with Li Hong, the seat of the Baicao Hall, and the other three peak disciples of the Star Washing Realm, to launch a siege and kill Luo Chuan.

From Yang Lin's perspective at that time, they actually succeeded.

Luo Chuan fought all the hole cards and died with Li Hong.

But then Yang Lin did not find Hongdou and Xie Changjing in Baicaotang, which made him successfully recall that the elegiac sword on Luo Chuan's body disappeared in an extremely uneasy mood, and further speculated that he had fallen into Luo Chuan's trap.

So he didn't say anything, and hurried down the mountain alone, fleeing without a trace.

Everything that happened afterwards confirmed Yang Lin's conjecture, except for him, everyone who besieged and killed Luochuan that night was ruthlessly liquidated, including Xu Cheng, the elder of the torture hall.

The only fish that slipped through the net was Yang Lin.

Of course, Ling Jianzong also issued a wanted warrant for Yang Lin's defection, and searched the mountain for several days, but never found anything.

Over time, many people forget this name.

I didn't know that Yang Lin, who had been on the run for dozens of days, finally saw a man in black with a hat at the junction of Qingzhou and Bianzhou.

The other party arranged a path for Yang Lin to abscond into the Great Yan Empire.

And in return, Yang Lin gave a waist card to the other party.

That is, Ling Jian Sect's clan card!

Therefore, at the same time that Yang Lin left Daliang and fled into the Great Yan Empire, there was an additional strange disciple in the Ling Jian Sect.

This person's name is Li Er.

A very ordinary name, as ordinary as his face.

Because he is ordinary, no one can remember him.

Li Er entered the Ling Sword Sect for half a year, successfully entered the middle peak, and showed his very solid cultivation in the Star Washing Realm in a timely manner, which was valued by his personal disciple Li Xiao and was included in his command.

Then, he finally got his wish and became the caretaker of the teleportation array that communicated with the Xia family.

All this is simple to say, but in fact, in order to get to this point, Li Er has spent a lot of resources and risked life and death several times.

Fortunately, it seems that it is all worth it now.

When Li Er watched the nine letters in his hand turn to ashes, he knew that his task was finally completed.

But he didn't plan to die yet, because he had to watch how the first sect in Qingzhou was destroyed step by step.

Li Er knew very well in his heart that once the news of the Xia family's extinction came out, then he would definitely be suspected, but at the same time, he knew even more that he was afraid that when the time came, Ling Jianzong would not be able to take care of himself at all.

Who will have the last laugh?

Li Er wanted to gamble.

In fact, he almost won the bet.

The reason why he said almost was because he underestimated Ling Jian Sect.

Or to be more precise, everyone in the world underestimated Ling Jian Sect.

The news that the Xia family was wiped out came at noon the next day, and the head of the head of the Xia family, Xia Qiulan, was hung on the long flag of the Xia family, but it is said that the bad old man who had the most no sense of existence in the Xia family was not found.

Yes, that's another name that has been forgotten by people, by time, by the world.

Song Changchi.

He is the husband of Xia Qiulan, the head of the Xia family.

It is the old man of Su Youming, the master of the Star Palace.

At the same time, he is also the grandfather of Xia Xinyue, the little princess of the Star Palace.

The secret guards of the Star Hall killed Xia Qiulan and slaughtered the entire 3,482 people of the Xia family, but they failed to find Song Changchi.

Of course, no one cares where this son-in-law who has never asked about Xia's family affairs has gone.

Whether it was in the eyes of Su Nian or anyone else, Song Changchi was not a threat.

On the contrary, the occurrence of another incident was somewhat unexpected by Su Nian.

His good brother and good niece have also evaporated from the world!

Yes, Su Yu didn't take Xia Xinyue back to Xia's house!

This made the countless backhands and traps laid by Su Nian completely useless for a while, and more importantly, Su Nian knew that the threat that Xia Xinyue could bring him was probably far greater than the entire Xia family combined!

Because she is Su Youming's daughter!

If you can't cut the grass and eradicate the roots, then the little Lori who looks soft and weak will become a thorn in Su Nian's throat that has been stuck in her throat all her life, and she will never be able to pull it out!

Therefore, when Su Nian officially came to power and became the new Lord of the Star Palace, the name Xia Xinyue became the greatest wealth of the entire Star Palace, or the entire Great Liang cultivation world.

Because Su Nian's condition is that a living person can be worthy of the position of a Star Hall Master, as well as its corresponding cultivation!

Even if it is a corpse, it can be exchanged for the right to speak in any sect of Daliang!

Including Tianchen Academy!

So for a while, the entire Great Liang Empire was in turmoil, not because of hatred for the Yan people, not because of the treachery of the Tang Empire, not because of anxiety about the future of their country, but just to find Mr. Su's orphans......

This is the human heart.
