Chapter 53: The Changes of the Xiao Family
Back to the Xiao family.
Before entering the family, Xiao Zhan felt the tense atmosphere within the Xiao family, and the family guards were all in a posture of facing a great enemy, and then combined with the changes in Utan City that they had observed earlier.
There is no doubt that in the six months since he left Utan City, the situation in Utan City has changed.
Although he was surprised, but thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising, in the final analysis, the Xiao family's domination of Utan City was based on his own strength, and it was due to the strength he showed at the beginning.
Now he has been missing for half a year, even if some people were afraid at the beginning, but the fear was only temporary, there are always careerists who can't bear it, although Utan City is small, it is also a first-class countdown city in the Gama Empire, and it is backed by such a geographical advantage as the Warcraft Mountain Range, after the Xiao family has no patriarch, it is extremely difficult to rely on the three beginner masters to keep the huge family business.
This reason is actually the same as when the Xiao family was driven out of the emperor.
A family built on a strong foundation is not long-term.
Once something happens to that person, the decline of the family is only an overnight thing.
Walking to the door, several guards of the Xiao family who were waiting at the door saw that the stranger was here, and immediately showed vigilance, but after seeing the face of the person who came, he was startled at first, and then ecstatic, "Patriarch!!" ”
After half a year, the patriarch has returned.
No matter what happened to the Xiao family during this period and what they went through, as long as the patriarch returned, they instantly felt at ease.
……
In the inner courtyard of the Xiao family.
A childish little girl is practicing qi, compared to the sickness when she first came to the Xiao family, the little girl's spirit is now much better, although her face is still a little pale, but with the passage of time, the fit with the flame in her body is getting higher and higher, and the discomfort caused by the fire to her is gradually disappearing.
"Miss, Patriarch Xiao Zhan is back."
An old voice sounded out of nowhere and fell into the little girl's ears.
The little girl stopped practicing qi and slowly opened her eyes, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, "Uncle Xiao Zhan is back, but it's okay." ”
She has also heard a little about what happened to the Xiao family during this time, and if the Xiao family really can't handle it, she doesn't mind letting the people who secretly protect her crush those little insects to death.
But Uncle Xiao Zhan is back, and she doesn't seem to have to be nosy anymore.
According to what Elder Ling said, when Uncle Xiao Zhan left, it seemed that he had already been secretly promoted to the king of Dou, and now after half a year, it will only be stronger.
Speaking carefully, when she first came to the Xiao family, Uncle Xiao Zhan seemed to be the fighting spirit.
His cultivation talent, placed in this place called the Gama Empire, does not seem to be bad.
……
Xiao Zhan, under the leadership of the family guards, went to the residence of the three elders.
In the past, the three elders stayed in their own places, but now, all three of them are staying together.
At the door of the house where they were, there were many guards waiting to protect them, including several Xiao family members at the level of a fighter, and as Xiao Zhan approached, he even smelled a burst of medicine coming from the house.
"Patriarch!"
"Patriarch!"
As Xiao Zhan approached, all the clansmen who had already known about the return of the patriarch saluted him respectfully.
"Stand down." Xiao Zhan said to the people guarding the door.
Everyone did not doubt him, and retreated one after another, in their minds, the strongest patriarch of the Xiao family had returned, and there was no need to worry about who would be able to sneak in here and attack the three elders.
Stepping into the house, Xiao Zhan first saw the three old men lying together in the house, all three of them were black and depressed, and after sensing Xiao Zhan coming in, some of them wanted to struggle to get up and greet Xiao Zhan.
Xiao Zhan waved his hand and said, "Don't get up, I already know the matter." ”
The affairs of the Xiao family, or the affairs of Utan City, are not complicated, it is nothing more than that during the time he left, the already declining Galie family, the orphans and widows left behind by Galebi, hooked up with a group of mysterious masters out of nowhere, they attacked the Xiao family, the three elders of the Xiao family led the clansmen to confront each other, but they were injured by the other party, and more importantly, the other party's fighting spirit also contained severe poison, soon after the three elders were injured, they found that they had been poisoned, even if they had found doctors all over this time, but unfortunately, this poison was like maggots attached to the bones, It is difficult to dismantle.
And after the three high-level combat forces were all severely damaged, many of the Fang markets occupied by the Xiao family earlier were also reoccupied by the Galie family, so there was the situation that Xiao Zhan saw when he came back.
"Patriarch, we ......" When the three elders heard Xiao Zhan's words, they all showed shame on their faces.
When the patriarch left, they promised to do well, saying that they would handle the affairs of the Xiao family, but this kind of thing happened, and they were really ashamed of the patriarch.
"You don't have to blame yourself, after all, accidents are inevitable." Xiao Zhan didn't blame the three elders, on the contrary, they dared to fight against that group of mysterious people for the sake of the Xiao family, which was already remarkable.
As for losing, it's nothing more than a lack of strength and inferior skills.
Before the three of them could speak, he said again: "Okay, don't talk, I'll detoxify you first." ”
Xiao Zhan is not an alchemist, but he has read the Colorful Poison Sutra, and he is also proficient in the way of using poison, not to mention that this trip has inherited a strange fire from the Great Elder of the Xiao Clan.
The three elders were immediately silent, and at the same time they were also curious about how the patriarch would detoxify them.
Immediately, I saw Xiao Zhan's sleeve robe wave, and a white flame flew out, and quickly spread, suspended above them, because Xiao Zhan deliberately controlled it, so they did not feel any terrifying temperature from this white flame, on the contrary, they only felt that their bodies were comfortable, and the discomfort caused by the poison gradually disappeared under this warmth.
Yin and Yang are both flames, the white fire is born, and it is endless, right now, Xiao Zhan is using the healing power of the white flame to refine the poison in the bodies of the three elders.
The strength of the people who attacked the three elders was not too strong for Xiao Zhan, otherwise the three of them would not be alive and would have died a long time ago, so soon, Xiao Zhan dissolved the poison in their bodies.
It was this kind of method that made him think of the poisoner.
The mysterious master hooked up with the orphans and widows of the Galie family is probably not a poisoner, but also related to a poisoner.
In the Gama Empire, there are basically no poisoners, and the most such existence is the Izumo Empire, which is hostile to the Gama Empire, and now, a group of people suspected of being poisoners have appeared in Utan City, which makes Xiao Zhan a little curious.
Of course, whether the other party is a poisoner or not, you will find out if you try it.
Xiao Zhan didn't make any plans and then moved, relieved the poison of the three elders, ordered people to take care of the three elders, and he left the Xiao family straight and went to the re-established Galie family, which was a punch that blew through the gate of the Galie family, and at the same time alarmed many existences in the Galie family.
