Back at Xiao's house, Liu Gang told Xiao Zhan about the situation of Xiao Yan and others.

In this regard, Xiao Zhan didn't have too much worry, but only proposed to visit Xiao Yan and his family disciples for half a year. But they were rejected by Liu Gang, and they had to be full for a year, and after a year, they would be allowed to come out.

Liu Gang's toughness, Xiao Zhan, the Great Elder, and the elders of the Xiao family had to acquiesce to this one-year cultivation time.

A year, it is said that it is not long, and eating and sleeping will pass quickly. Cultivation will be faster, maybe it's just a matter of closing your eyes, and time will pass.

This year, it was relatively calm, and there were no big forces to attack Utan City, but some displaced people fled from other places. The Xiao family and the others got some information from them outside of Utan City.

Some small cities in the Gama Empire were captured by people from another continent, and they began to build walls, turning them into their own territory, and they would also capture some slaves from the Douqi Continent to work as coolies, or even for fun.

After learning about the situation in other places, Xiao Zhan led his clansmen and major families to build city walls and set up a large area outside Utan City to face future wars.

Utan City is a paradise for those cities that have been conquered, where there is no oppression, no hunger and cold, and no unity. He also generously accepted the displaced people who had fled from outside, and even built them a place to rest.

Knowing the situation outside from the displaced people, the residents of Utan City felt more and more fortunate that there was the protection of the Xiao family and the existence of Liu Douhuang, so that Utan City was spared from disaster.

Over the past year, the tremors of the Warcraft Mountain Range have gradually subsided, and it seems that the fighting has stopped. As for what the ending was and who the victorious side was, Liu Gang didn't know, and he didn't investigate, but devoted himself to cultivation, improving his strength, and facing the crisis behind.

In a conference hall of the Xiao family, Xiao Zhan held this fighting skill in his right hand, and "Turning Clouds and Rain" flipped back and forth, which was the pinnacle fighting skill of the local level. And Xiao Zhan has been deeply immersed in it, condensing his fighting skills.

At this time, a disciple of the Xiao family walked in, bowed down and said, "Patriarch, the patriarch of the Zhang family asks to see."

Xiao Zhan raised his head slightly, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, put his fighting skills aside, and said, "Zhang Xiong? Bring him in. ”

"Yes!" The disciples of the Xiao family responded yes and left.

Soon, this disciple brought Zhang Xiong, the patriarch of the Zhang family, in. Zhang Xiong's expression was hurried, which surprised Xiao Zhan for a while, and beckoned him to sit down.

Zhang Xiongming took two mouthfuls of tea sent by his subordinates, put it aside, and said: "Patriarch Xiao, something bad happened today, in the east of Utan City, three corpses were found in a private house, and all three members of the family were killed."

"Corpse, killed? What a mistake. Xiao Zhan frowned slightly and asked.

"It's just that there are dead people, and it is possible for the enemy to retaliate, but those people died strangely, the blood on their bodies seemed to be drained, and the death was extremely miserable."

Xiao Zhan nodded and said, "Go on."

"There is only one place on the whole body where there is a wound, and that is here." Zhang Xiong pointed to his neck and said solemnly.

"Wound in the neck? That's pretty weird. So what progress have you made now? Xiao Zhan smacked his tongue slightly, and he could be sure that the blood had been drained by some means.

"Nope. I feel that this is very bad, and I have not been able to calm my heart, as if something big is about to happen, so I have come here to report to you. Zhang Xiong's face was heavy, and his brows were about to wrinkle into a Sichuan character.

"Senior Liu, you are in retreat, so you shouldn't disturb you. Such...... You continue to investigate first, especially the homeless, check carefully, you can't easily let them in, maybe there are people who have cultivated evil fighting skills, this is how they get in. ”

"I hope that it is people who cultivate evil fighting skills, not races from other continents, if this is the case, then war will come soon." Zhang Xiong was not optimistic, sighed, and expressed his concerns.

Xiao Zhan looked stiff, stood up, and said, "This matter, when Senior Liu comes out, I will tell him as soon as possible."

"It's better that way, and I hope that what I'm worried about doesn't happen." Zhang Xiong breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and said goodbye to Xiao Zhan.

Looking at Zhang Xiong who was far away, Xiao Zhan muttered: "The day after tomorrow is the period of the year, the day when Yan'er and they come back, I hope it will be a peaceful day." With a leisurely sigh, Xiao Zhan walked inside.

In a courtyard of the Xiao family, Princess Yao and some young women of the Xiao family gathered together to play mahjong.

"East wind." A woman punches a sub.

"Bump! Hachijo! Princess Yao shouted, retracted one, and then punched out.

"One."

"Bump!!" ……

"Huh. A single point of 30,000, give money to money! Princess Yao patted the table and said excitedly, like a little money fan.

Several people looked helpless, although they lost money, they still praised Princess Yao for being very good at playing cards. This kind of flattery, Princess Yao is very useful, although she doesn't have to think about lack of money at all, but she is quite happy to win.

And the reason why they can play mahjong is completely taught by Liu Gang, in order that Princess Yao will not be so bored when she is practicing, she came up with such a typing to let her spend time.

At this time, a red light rose to the sky in a courtyard of the Xiao family, alarming the entire Xiao family, Xiao Zhan, who was talking to the elders, raised his head in surprise and said, "That direction is, Senior Liu,,, is going to be out of the customs?"

"Let's go meet Senior Liu."

"This retreat is half a year, and I don't know how much senior Liu's strength has improved."

"It's out of our reach, let's go."

Xiao Zhan and the others all got up and walked towards Liu Gang's courtyard.

When Princess Yao found out, she threw the silver money in her hand and ran away quickly, and soon stopped in the courtyard that emitted a sky-high red light. The red light dissipated, but the door remained tightly closed.

The door squeaks, squeaks, squeaks! The sound slowly opened. Liu Gang raised his head slightly, only to see Princess Yao waiting for him outside, seeing his appearance, Princess Yao's face smiled and crescent, Liu Gang felt that his heart was melted and surrounded by warmth.

When she smiled, it seemed that the ice and snow had melted.

It is as if the night sky is full of moon, and the moonlight shines directly on the heart.

"It's been a long time." Liu Gang walked over with a smile.

Princess Yao threw herself into his arms and hugged him tightly, her eyes filled with longing and attachment: "Not long, I just arrived."

Taking a deep breath of the aroma, Liu Gang's face gently rubbed beside her hair, enjoying the warmth.

Not long after, Xiao Zhan and others arrived, saw the two hugging each other, did not come forward to disturb, but waited on the side.

A few minutes later, Liu Gang kissed her on the forehead and turned to look at the sky, which was blood-red and the clouds were dyed red. Said lightly: "This Utan City is mixed with something amazing, haven't you found it?"
