Zhilu said that Li Wanbao, who went to the Valley of Trials, was carrying a talisman treasure with him, and the four foundation-building monks of the Xu family couldn't sit still at all. They had seen the power of that rune treasure, and the two large arrays arranged by Xu Ziyan were destroyed by that rune treasure, which showed its power. In this way, in the hearts of the four monks of the Xu family in the foundation building period, they have already decided that Xu Haoliang, Xu Ziyan and others may have died in the Valley of Trials, that is to say, almost all the elites in their families have died in the Valley of Trials.

This consequence is very serious, if Xu Haoliang, Xu Ziyan and the others really all die in the Valley of Trials, the Xu family will inevitably be in a faulty situation. Even if they destroy the Li family, the Xiao family and the Wu family. Even if they get the territory of Juque City, will they be able to defend it?

Not to mention that it can be defended, it is the Yang family in Nanlin City, and the Zhou family in Canglang City will not come to grab their own territory, and the Xu family will not have a disciple to send Lu to manage it. You still have to take care of your own territory, right? Someone has to stay in the ancestral land, right? Do you want to send the disciples of the day after tomorrow out of the city, and then they will not be killed by those small and medium-sized families within the range of the power of Juque City?

I'm afraid that in this way, without the Yang family of Nanlin City and the Zhou family of Canglang City, as long as their ancestors fall, the small and medium-sized families in the north will destroy the Xu family, not to mention that the Yang family of Nanlin City and the Zhou family of Canglang City will watch from the sidelines?

Once the news of the death of all the disciples of the Trial Valley such as Xu Haoliang and Xu Ziyan spread, I am afraid that it will be the beginning of the action of the Yang family of Nanlin City and the Zhou family of Canglang City, and they will first divide Juque City. At that time, the Xu family could only watch, and then it would further compress the scope of the Xu family's peripheral potential, and the Xu family could only watch. Because the Xu family had lost its intermediate strength, there were only four old men in the foundation building period left, and dozens of high-level hall masters and elders in the qi refining stage, it was impossible for them to compete for the alliance of the Yang family in Nanlin City and the Zhou family in Canglang City.

Once the scope of the Xu family's power is compressed, it means that a lot of resources are lost, which will make matters worse, and the countdown to the Xu family's demise has begun.

The four monks in the foundation building period could no longer sit still, Xu Dingtian and Xu Dingyang stayed in the family, and the ancestor of the Xu family and Xu Haoran personally came to the outside of the Valley of Trials and waited there with a sad face.

In the Valley of Trials, Xu Haoliang, Xu Ziyan and others searched carefully for four days, during which they really searched for a few people, and finally completed the search on the seventh day after entering the Valley of Trials, and confirmed that there were no more fish that slipped through the net. There were only disciples of the Xu family left in the entire Trial Valley.

Everyone didn't know what the situation was outside the road, so they decided to have a good rest in the Valley of Trials for another day to recover from the wear and tear and injuries of the past few days. Once you encounter a battle out of the Valley of Trials, you can show your peak strength. In the past six days, these disciples of the Xu family have indeed been exhausted. Not just physically, but also psychologically. Now that he knew that there were only people on his own side left in the entire Valley of Trials, the nerves of the whole person were relaxed.

Xu Ziyan arranged another talisman array to envelop all the people who were pranayama inside, so as to prevent him from being disturbed by those demon beasts in the Valley of Trials when he and the others were pranayama.

However, as soon as they rested here like this, they would suffer the ancestors of the Xu family and Xu Haoran outside the Trial Valley. The two of them had been wandering outside the Valley of Trials for four days, and one heart had already sunk to the bottom. Now it is the seventh day of the trial Gu Dabi, the two of them are going to wait here until the evening, if Xu Haoliang, Xu Ziyan and the others don't come out today, they will give up here, return to the family, and discuss what strategy the Xu family will adopt against the outside world after losing these disciples. The two of them knew that at this time, Xu Haoliang and Xu Ziyan were still searching for the three families in the valley.

At the same time, all kinds of information continued to be sent out of the central capital. The Yang family in Nanlin City and the Zhou family in Canglang City were ready to go on the expedition. Their first target was the Juque City that used to be the Han family, and once the Juque City fell into the hands of the Yang family and the Zhou family, it basically formed a situation of encirclement of the Xu family in the central capital.

And those small and medium-sized families are also in action, and the subordinate families that originally belonged to the Yang family in Nanlin City and the Zhou family in Canglang City are naturally ready to go on the expedition with the Yang family and the Zhou family. And those neutral small and medium-sized families, especially those who originally belonged to the Han family in Juque City, some were in a wait-and-see state, and some simply joined the camp of the Yang family or the Zhou family. Even the original dependent family of the Xu family was shaken by their confidence, and they watched cautiously, and the entire Xu family could be said to be in turmoil.

The sky gradually darkened, and the faces of the ancestors of the Xu family and Xu Haoran had turned gray. The hearts of the two people were already cold, they glanced at each other, and then at the Trial Valley, the ancestor of the Xu family said with a dark face:

"Ran'er, let's go back"

"Hmm" Xu Haoran nodded heavily, as the patriarch of the current generation, of course he knew what it meant for the Dao to lose the disciples in the Valley of Trials, and of course the road after the Dao Xu family would be full of thorns. However, knowing what to do, all we have to do is how to face it.

The two of them grievedly glanced at the Trial Valley at the same time, and their bodies quickly rose up and flew towards the ancestral land of the Xu family in the middle capital.

When all the people in the capital saw that only the ancestor of the Xu family and Xu Haoran had returned, everyone in the Xu family was silent all of a sudden. Immediately, the news of the death of all the disciples of the Xu family who went to the Valley of Trials spread to all parts of the Northland.

Nanlin City.

Yang.

Yang Rui sat on the top seat of the main hall, crushed the news in his hand, and laughed loudly:

"Haha......"

Yang Linglong, who was next to her, saw her father's happy smile, and guessed something in her heart, and looked at her father happily and asked:

"Father, but there is news from the middle capital"

"Yes, it has been seven days since the disciples of the Xu family led by Xu Haoliang entered the Valley of Trials, and they have not come out again. And the ancestors of the Xu family and Xu Haoran, who had been waiting at the entrance of the Trial Valley, had already returned to the family, which showed that Xu Haoliang and those disciples of the Xu family had stayed in the Trial Valley forever. Hehe, Linglong, it seems that your wish will not come true, that Xu Ziyan has died in the Valley of Trials. ”

Yang Linglong's face was full of unwillingness, regret, and a little sadness inexplicably......

Yang Rui stood up from his seat and shouted to everyone in the hall:

"Departure Target: Juque City"

*

Canglang City.

Zhou family.

Zhou Ba stood on the high platform and shouted at the disciples of the Zhou family who were ready to go:

"Departure Target: Juque City"

*

The middle capital city.

The Xu family.

In Xu Haoran's study.

The ancestor of the Xu family, Xu Dingtian, Xu Dingyang and Xu Haoran sat there, everyone's faces were full of unwillingness and grief. They had already made a difficult decision just now, which was to abandon Juque City. Because it was the ancestor of the Xu family who personally went to sit in Juque City and guarded it, and there was no one in the family to manage it, once the ancestor of the Xu family left, it would still be seized by Nanlin City and Canglang City, and the result was just that more disciples of the Xu family died.

This is a painful decision, Taixuanzong destroyed the Han family in Juque City, and handed over the power range of Juque City to his Xu family, but the Xu family couldn't hold it, which can't help but be a great irony. The direct consequence of this incident is that the scope of the Xu family's power will be constantly squeezed, and the far-reaching impact is that there will be many affiliated families that originally belonged to the Xu family to defect to the other party's camp, and the decline of the Xu family is inevitable.

The order was passed from the middle capital city, and the disciples who went to Juque City to receive the power of the force were withdrawn, and Juque City changed hands in one day. Moreover, the Yang family of Nanlin City and the Zhou family of Canglang City reached an agreement to jointly manage Juque City, and then began to sweep away the peripheral forces of the Xu family in the middle capital city. And the peripheral forces of the Xu family had already received the order of the family, and the territories that had been abandoned were gathered towards the middle capital.

There is no way to do this, because the middle capital city is also very empty at this time. In this battle, in the ancestral land of the Xu family, although the three disciples of the Li family, the Xiao family and the Wu family were all wiped out, the Xu family also suffered a lot of casualties. What's more, there were two hundred of the family's elite disciples in the Qi Refining Stage who died in the Valley of Trials. The Xu family naturally didn't know that the two hundred Qi refining stage disciples of the Dao Dao had only nearly a hundred dead, and there were more than a hundred elite disciples who were in the trial valley at this time.

As for the acquired disciples who died in the Valley of Trials, the Xu family had nothing to regret. Because the previous trials of the Valley Contest were all competitions between disciples in the Qi refining period. The disciples of the acquired realm went in just to act as laborers to pick herbs. Therefore, the acquired disciples who went to the Valley of Trials were all below the seventh layer of the day after tomorrow. The disciples above the seventh level of the day after tomorrow have all stayed in the family, and these people are all very likely to break through the innate seeds, and they are the future of the family, so naturally they will not send them to the Valley of Trials before they have grown up.

Because of this, at this time, the ancestral land of the Xu family in the central capital city was also in a state where there were no disciples available, and the operation of the entire family was almost at a standstill, so on the one hand, in order to avoid greater casualties, on the other hand, disciples were also needed to replace those disciples who died to do the family's affairs. The Xu family had to give an order for all the disciples of the Xu family to retreat. The family also wanted to select some qualified disciples from those peripheral disciples and vigorously cultivate them to see if they could fill the fault line of the Xu family. If you can cultivate it, you can slowly regain your own turf. However, the four foundation-building monks of the Xu family also knew in their hearts that this was just a beautiful wish, and the chance of being able to realize it was very small, and the fall of the Xu family was inevitable.

So, what are the disciples of the Xu family in the Valley of Trials doing now? It stands to reason that another five days have passed since the time for the disciples of the Xu family to breathe, and Xu Ziyan and the others should have returned to the family a long time ago. But they still hadn't returned, and the Great Array of the Valley of Trials was still working there intact. What was the reason for Xu Ziyan and the others to stay in the Valley of Trials?
