Chapter 163: Becoming more and more precipitous
The next day, only Xu Ziyan, Xu Lan and Ling Rou'er were left in the entire courtyard, and the others all went out to inquire about the news. Ling Rou'er stayed because her injuries had not yet healed and she was still a little weak, but she had already recovered to the cultivation of the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Period, which made everyone secretly guess what kind of cultivation she was. Xu Lan was asked by Xu Ziyan to stay, she stayed to guard Zhou Xinfa's family, replaced Xu Peng and Xu Liangwei and went to Langya Town to inquire about the news. Xu Ziyan, on the other hand, locked himself in the room, took out hundreds of seized blank rune papers, and began to make talismans.
For those who have a heart, it is not difficult to find out the foothold and strength of all parties in the current Langya Town. It was just one day, and at dusk, the people in each group came back one after another and reported detailed information to Xu Ziyan. At the same time, they also brought back a piece of news that made the disciples of the Xu family very excited, and made Xu Ziyan in a dilemma, that is, the person who came out to find them in the Xu family was also in Langya Town, and it was led by the father of the patriarch of the family, Xu Dingtian.
Xu Ziyan asked Xu Dingtian's cultivation, and Xu Qi and Xu Lin just said. Before his retreat, his grandfather was at the peak of the late stage of the fourth layer of the foundation building period, and they didn't know what kind of strength he was now.
Xu Ziyan secretly calculated to himself, and estimated that Xu Dingtian would be at most the late stage of the fifth layer of the foundation building period, and it should not be the cultivation of the sixth layer of the foundation building period. At the same time, Xu Ziyan also had a dangerous thought in his heart, that is, since all the old people in his family had come out, what about the other families? I'm afraid that at this time, in the various families in the Northland, except for the ancestor-level figures, there are many other old people in retreat, right?
Looking at everyone's expectant expressions, Xu Ziyan was very embarrassed in his heart. She knew in her heart that these young people in front of her had been on the run for several months, and at this time, her relatives were in front of her, and she wanted to run there immediately and throw herself into the arms of her relatives. Xu Ziyan suddenly raised an eyebrow, and asked in a worried voice:
"You didn't go to the family, did you?" No," everyone shook their heads and said, "Without the captain's order, we didn't act on our own. ”
Xu Ziyan breathed a sigh of relief, and glanced at Ling Xiao sitting there gratefully, if it weren't for Ling Xiao's words yesterday, I'm afraid that these disciples of the Xu family would have already run to Xu Dingtian, and at this time, I am afraid that Xingzang has been exposed, and the entire Xu family is in a situation of being surrounded and killed. These people can now hold back the thoughts in their hearts and have not met with the people of their family, which shows that their trust in Xu Ziyan is now, but in a moment, Xu Ziyan feels that the burden on his shoulders is much heavier. Xu Ziyan groaned slightly, and said slowly:
"We can't meet the people in the family just yet." Seeing that everyone's faces showed extreme disappointment, he explained softly:
"All the forces of the Northland are now gathering in Langya Town. I'm afraid they all expected that we would pass here, and now they ignore the people in the family who are looking for us, and they are using the people in the family as bait, waiting for us to come and get in touch. I'm willing to bet there must be countless spies waiting for us around the family quarters. As soon as we appeared, this peaceful Langya town would immediately turn into a furnace of boiling water, and forces from all sides would surround us from all directions.
Imagine that since the older generation of our family members are all here, will the older generation of our family not come if the forces that are chasing us down? I think that at present, Grandpa Xu Dingtian also hopes that we will not appear in Langya Town, at least not by his side. If we were there, it wouldn't just be our people, but I'm afraid it would also affect the rest of the family. ”
"Then why doesn't Grandpa leave here?" Xu Qi asked puzzled.
"There should be two reasons." Xu Ziyan said lightly: "On the one hand, grandpa is using himself to attract the attention of the Northland family, and the more eyes he attracts, the easier it will be for us." On the other hand, grandpa was also afraid that we would show up in Langya Town and expose ourselves recklessly, so grandpa should be waiting here with a mortal heart to rescue us. ”
listened to Xu Ziyan's analysis. Everyone's eyes turned red, and Xu Mei and Xu Meiruo cried even more. They thought that the family would attach great importance to their ten people and would definitely send someone to help them, but they didn't expect that the family would attach importance to themselves and others to this extent. I'd rather lose the treasure of an older generation than protect myself and others.
"That'...... What are we going to do? Xu Lin asked with red eyes.
"We can't meet with the people of the family at the moment, so while avoiding exposure, we have formed two forces in Langya Town, one bright and one dark. Grandpa, they restrained their strength in the light, and we killed people in the dark, completely muddying the waters of Langya Town. ”
Speaking of this, Xu Ziyan looked at everyone again, and said in a firm tone: "Therefore, we still have to act according to the plan." Forget about the presence of family reinforcements for a while. ”
Everyone was silent, and Ling Xiao suddenly said, "Captain, shall we act tonight?"
"No" Xu Ziyan shook his head slowly and said: "Let's summarize the news from the inquiry, and then tonight, you and I will go and step on it first, and discuss a specific night attack method and escape route after success." In addition, we also need to find a place to set up a rune array, so that when we encounter an invincible master, or a large number of pursuers, we can use the rune array to escape. ”
At this time, everyone reluctantly broke free from the longing for the family and began to participate in the planning. That night, Xu Ziyan and Ling Xiao took advantage of the night to sneak out of their residence and began to step on the ground in Langya Town. At midnight, the two of them had already stepped on the potential forces distributed in Langya Town one by one according to the plan. Work with Ling Xiao. Xu Ziyan was a lot more relaxed, and Ling Xiao seemed to be a good player. The two people seem to have cooperated for many years, and they have a clear heart, as long as they make a gesture, the other party can understand their own meaning, and in this way, they dodged a lot of open and dark whistles, and silently followed the designed route.
A crescent moon gradually hid behind the clouds, and the sky and the earth became darker and darker. Two figures suddenly flashed and appeared above the ruins of Langya Villa. It was Xu Ziyan and Ling Xiao, who were dressed in night clothes and covered their faces.
"The Yang family of Nanlin City, the Zhou family of Canglang City and the Han family of Juque City, as well as thirty-two small and medium-sized families and eight small sects. And they are not far from each other. Captain, the form is very difficult to deal with," Ling Xiao said in a low voice.
"Yes" Xu Ziyan raised his hand and rubbed his temples, and also lowered his voice and said: "Those small and medium-sized families are okay, there are no outstanding characters, and the three major families in the North Land seem to have come to the masters of the older generation, I just feel their powerful information, Senior Brother Ling, do you feel what kind of cultivation they are?"
Ling Xiao shook his head lightly and said in a low voice, "I didn't dare to investigate carefully, I just felt it." It should be similar to my cultivation, even the one from your Xu family. ”
"In this way, there is nothing to fear from the two of us in the secular world. But the strength of those small sects is much more terrifying. ”
"Yes, I can faintly feel that among the eight small sects, at least two of each sect have a cultivation level higher than mine, if they are surrounded, it will be really a troublesome thing."
"yes"
"If those small sects leave, it will be much easier for us."
"It would have been a lot easier if it was just the two of us, but. There are still many disciples of the Xu family here, even if the strength of the small sect is withdrawn, we will not be much easier. ”
Xu Ziyan sighed lightly, and then said: "Even if you and I, plus Grandpa Xu Dingtian, the three of us can only withstand the three older generation of the Yang family in Nanlin City, the Zhou family in Canglang City, and the Han family in Juque City, but don't forget, there are still masters in the foundation building period among the three major families in the North Land and those small and medium-sized families, even if there is only one in each, it adds up to a huge number." What's more, there are also a huge number of Qi Refining Stage disciples, once we expose Xingzang, it is likely to be a dead end. ”
"What if ......" Ling Xiao hesitated for a moment, and finally asked, "Captain, if you fully display your strength without the strength of the sect, we won't have a chance?"
"My strength?" Xu Ziyan turned his head to look at Ling Xiao, and said with a wry smile: "Senior Brother Ling, my strength is really not as good as yours."
"But it's not much lower, is it? Besides, you still have talismans."
Xu Ziyan was silent, and after a long time, she said softly: "If that's the case, it's really a big scene, as for what the result will be, I really don't know." Maybe we'll get out of it, maybe we'll all die here. So, I really don't dare to take this risk."
Ling Xiao was silent, and Xu Ziyan was also silent. At this time, the two of them were very uncertain in their hearts, because after the two of them discovered the true strength of the sect, they both had doubts about the original plan. If the eight sects really reacted fast enough when the two of them were acting, and they decided to hunt down and kill them, it would be really difficult for the two of them to escape.
Xu Ziyan gritted his teeth and said in a firm tone: "No matter how difficult it is, we have to give it a try."
"Captain, I'll accompany you," Ling Xiao also said firmly.
"Senior Brother Ling, do you want to think about it again? This matter has nothing to do with you, you can just walk away. Xu Ziyan said softly.
