Chapter 22: Bad Situation
Tianxuan City. This article was written by...... Starting
After experiencing the two shocks of Lin Hao and Wang Yan and Wu Xuan being killed, it wasn't long before Tianxuan City became a sensation again.
Moreover, this time the sensation was much more intense than the previous two combined.
The Seven Great Families led a large group of people to encircle and suppress a teenager, but the teenager detonated the volcano, causing all the horses to be wiped out, and only the Seven Masters and Liu Ze survived.
Such news was extremely explosive, and almost as soon as the news broke, it had already spread throughout the city.
The seven great families, the seven mountains of the Tianxuan Kingdom, are all behemoth-like existences, and the seven families can even easily overthrow the royal family when they are united.
But how can it not be shocking that such seven giant forces have suffered such a big loss at the hands of a teenager, and their strength has regressed by at least ten years?
And what is even more shocking is that the person who did all this turned out to be just a teenager.
That boy, how terrifying?
All of a sudden, the entire Tianxuan City was talking, and while everyone was secretly laughing at the Seven Great Families, more were speculating on the identity of the young man.
And at this moment, a piece of gossip spread out of nowhere, and it caused a new round of sensation - that young man was the only survivor of the Chu family, Chu was shocking!
It was Chu Jingtian who carefully planned all this, and the purpose of his doing this was naturally to avenge the Chu family.
After this news broke, some people connected this volcanic incident with the previous killing of Lin Hao, Wang Yan, and Wu Xuan.
So, everything was clear.
In order to avenge the family, Chu Jingtian killed Lin Hao and the three of them one after another, and then caused a volcanic eruption, ruthlessly pit the seven major families.
The entire people of Tianxuan City were shocked!
Once upon a time, Chu Jingtian was only one of the Eight Shows of Tianxuan, but in just over a month, it was already terrifying.
In everyone's hearts, a thought arose: Chu's shocking future is limitless!
Just when people were shocked by Chu's shocking potential, another piece of news broke out: the Chu family was destroyed not because of rebellion, but because the seven major families wanted to rob the Chu family's treasures.
As soon as this news came out, Tianxuan City shook again.
The shock of the crowd reached an unprecedented level, and they were a little shocked by this successive bombshell news.
However, after the shock, the voices of the crowd instantly rose up.
As early as when the news that the Chu family was destroyed due to rebellion was released, some people doubted this statement, and now the appearance of this news has confirmed those people's speculation.
Man always sympathizes with the weak.
And in this series of events, whether it was the Chu family at the beginning or the Chu shocking sky later, they were all in the position of the weak.
Therefore, with little suspicion, most of the people in Tianxuan City chose to believe these news.
As a result, the discussion of the crowd began to turn into condemnation and contempt for the Seven Great Families, and words such as shameless, despicable, and filthy once became synonymous with the Seven Great Families.
It's just that because of the power of the seven major families, the crowd only dares to abuse in private.
However, Rao is like this, while the seven major families are completely disgraced, their prestige has also plummeted, and it is not as good as before.

Tianxuan Palace, the main hall.
"How's things going?" Shangguan Ye looked at the iron dragon in golden armor and asked lightly.
"Back to Your Majesty. Tie Long bowed slightly, "The news has been spread through secret channels, and the seven major families will definitely not be able to find the root cause." ”
"In addition, after these news spread, the effect was extremely good, and now the seven major families, both in terms of reputation and prestige, have been greatly hit, and it is absolutely impossible to recover in a short time. ”
"Good. Shangguan Ye nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that the Seven Great Families will not be able to threaten the royal family in a short period of time, and my confidant problem has finally been solved." ”
The eight major families of Tianxuan, no matter which one is single, the royal family is not afraid, and even if two of them join forces, the royal family can deal with it, but once there are more than two families, the royal family will be in danger.
Therefore, the existence of the Eight Great Families, for the royal family, is tantamount to a tiger sleeping next to the bed, making it impossible to feel at ease.
For a long time, the royal family has been wary of the eight major families, but due to the strength of the eight major families, they can't make a move. Because once the royal family makes a move against any of them, it will cause several other major families to counterattack, and the eight major families understand the truth of cold lips and teeth.
But fortunately, although the relationship between the eight major families is good, it is not good enough to join forces to deal with the royal family, because there is only one throne, and no one wants to make wedding clothes for others.
Therefore, the two sides have been able to get along well.
And just when the royal family was planning how to deal with the eight major families, a war broke out between the eight major families, and the seven major families joined forces to destroy the Chu family.
Such a move was in the hands of the royal family, so the royal family did not intervene in the affairs of the Chu family.
However, what made the royal family feel a little disappointed was that after the Chu family was destroyed, the power of the other seven major families was not weakened much.
However, immediately after, Chu Jingtian's series of actions brought a big surprise to the royal family.
From the death of Lin Hao, Wang Yan and Wu Xuan, to the battle between the Wang and Wu families and the Lin family, and then to the detonation of the volcano, the seven major families lost their troops and lost their strength.
During this period, except for the royal family when the three families were fighting, they had to come forward to stop it because of their status, and everything else was what the royal family was eager to happen.
So, they took advantage of this momentum and released those shocking news, causing the prestige of the seven major families to plummet.
Although the current Seven Great Families can still threaten the royal family, because of the contradictions between several families, the degree of threat is much smaller than before, so Shangguan Ye can say this.
"It's all because of Your Majesty's Shengming. The iron cage said respectfully.
"Nope. Shangguan Ye smiled and shook his head, "This has nothing to do with me, I want to thank Chu Jingtian for today's results!"

As for the movements in the city, the seven major families naturally knew about it, but they didn't care about it.
At this time, their attention was completely focused on the volcano outside the city.
has already suffered such a big loss, if they can't find Chu Jingtian and the pendant again, then they will really lose their wife and lose their soldiers.
Therefore, the seven major families really went out this time, and each family dispatched five hundred people, a full three thousand five hundred people, to completely block the surrounding area of the volcano, and only wait for the erupted magma to cool and solidify, and then start a carpet search.
Such a posture, let alone a living person, even if it is a fly, don't even think of escaping.
A mile away from the volcano, in the temporary camp of the seven great families, the seven masters sat opposite each other.
"It's been two days and one night, and after tonight, the magma will completely solidify, and we can start searching. Liu Yuanshan said.
"It's just, can that kid really hide in the magma? We can't do it, how did he do it?" Wang Xin'an asked puzzled.
Wu Jingming shook his head, "I don't know, now I can only infer that it is related to the pendant." ”
"You say, will that kid have already run away?" Bai Junzheng said with some concern.
"Probably not. Lin Tianpeng said: "That kid jumped into the magma, we saw it with our own eyes, and we have been staring at it every inch in the past few days, that kid must still be here." ”
"Then, after tonight, early tomorrow morning, the carpet search will begin. Liu Yuanshan said.

In the blink of an eye, three days later, in the Heavenly Jealousy Tower, Chu Jingtian slowly opened his eyes.
Turning his head to look at Rumeng, who was still asleep beside him, Chu Jingtian was anxious at the same time, but he could only shake his head helplessly and continue to wait.
If he didn't wake up from a dream, he didn't know the situation in the outside world, and he didn't dare to go out rashly, in case he fell into the encirclement of the seven major families, it would really be impossible to escape.
Standing up and moving his muscles, Chu Jingtian smiled bitterly.
In the past three days of cultivation, due to the lack of the assistance of the sea of aura, his strength has increased very little.
At this moment, he finally realized how great the effect of the sea of aura was on him.
Walking to the sea of aura and taking a look, the liquid aura that had been dried up has now gathered some more, but the area is only about one square meter, and the depth is only about fifty centimeters, which can only be regarded as a small puddle.
It seems that for the time being, he will not be able to cultivate through the sea of aura. It would take a few days for the depth of the liquid aura to cover his entire body.
Originally, he wanted to continue to sit down and cultivate, but the uneasiness in his heart made Chu Jingtian unable to calm down.
I don't know what the situation is like in the outside world?
Is he safe now?
In case, the Heavenly Jealousy Tower has now been found by the Seven Great Families, then he will really be trapped and die in the tower.
Walking around a little irritably, now he could only hope that the Seven Great Families had not yet found the Heavenly Jealousy Tower.
Forcing himself not to think about that, Chu Jingtian began to think about his next actions.
With the style of doing things of the Seven Great Families, he must be looking for him with great fanfare now, even if he wakes up like a dream, it is not so easy for him to get out, so he must think of countermeasures in advance.
Just when Chu was pondering......
"Woohoo......"
With a slight whisper, Rumeng frowned a little painfully, and then slowly opened his eyes.
Hearing the voice, Chu Jingtian looked overjoyed, and immediately walked over to help Rumeng up, and said with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's all right, master. Rumeng stood up with Chu Jingtian's support and rubbed his forehead, "It's just that the mental consumption is excessive, and there are some headaches, and it will be fine after a few days of rest." ”
"That's good. Chu Jingtian breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn't leave some bad sequelae for Rumeng, he was relieved.
"But the master. Rumeng looked at Chu Jingtian with some concern, "Our current situation is very bad......
