The inner courtyard of the Wei family's house, the council hall!

At this time, there were more than a dozen elders sitting on the edge of the long table in the entire council hall, but they were silent, and there was a sense of sadness and anger wafting in the air, and the scene was even more strange at the time when the twilight had just fallen.

The person sitting at the head of the long table is Wei Tianxing, the current patriarch of the Wei family, who is eighty years old, but he has not abdicated, and continues to hold the high position of the head of the Wei family, and his strength is even closer to the Gathering Spirit Realm.

Wei Tianxing is also very powerful in power, otherwise at his age, he should have taken the initiative to let the younger Wei family sit in his position. When Wei Tianxing was still young, he had always been obsessed with the cultivation of his own strength, and he did not marry a wife and have children, until he was sixty years old, he gave birth to a son, that is, Wei Xiang, Wei Tianxing has always regarded it as a treasure in his palm, and various cultivation resources are given priority to Wei Xiang to use.

And just now, the news of Wei Xiang's death came back to the family, and the entire Wei family mansion was shaken with the news.

Only half an hour after the news was transmitted, the Council of Elders was urgently convened, and just now, the fifth elder Wei Haiyan briefly recounted the incident from beginning to end, and his voice was sad and desolate, as if it was his own son who died.

Wei Haiyan was also afraid that Wei Tianxing would blame Wei Xiang for his death, although it had nothing to do with him.

After a long silence, Wei Tianxing slowly turned a pair of extremely gloomy gray eyes, slowly sweeping over all the Wei family elders present, the muscles on his face were as cold and stiff as ice cubes.

"Any clues?"

Wei Tianxing opened his mouth, and finally his gaze fell on Wei Haiyan, and a few words came out between his teeth.

"At present, there are no clues, there is almost no valuable evidence left at the scene, there are a total of eight people in our Wei family, none of them are alive, it looks like a robbery and murder, all the belongings on the eight people have been looted, and even some scattered gold coins carried by the guards have not been spared. Wei Haiyan hoarsely said slowly.

He personally inspected the time of a stick of incense at the scene, but in the end he didn't get a clue.

"Could it be the Qu family's doing? It happened too coincidentally, we just recaptured the gastrodia from the Qujia mining area, and then Wei Xiang met with an accident. An elder of the Wei family spoke up at this time and expressed his opinion.

"At present, it doesn't seem like the Qu family did it, if the Qu family dares to do this, it will be tantamount to starting a war against the Wei family outside, and when the time comes, even the city lord will be difficult to mediate. Wei Xiang, this kid, has offensive and defensive martial arts in his body, and he has magic weapons in his hand, if he wants to kill him, he may be difficult to do without the cultivation of the late stage of the Eight Rings. In other words, only one elder of the Qu family has such strength. ”

"If the Qu family elder did it, then his main target should be the three-star quality gastrodia stone, how could he go out of his way to search every corpse, and even take away those gold coins?" Wei Haiyan frowned, and said thoughtfully, what he said also made sense, it was impossible for the Qu family elder to surrender his identity and even scavenge the gold coins on the corpse.

"What kind of person could it be, with such courage, in Yuyang City, what other forces would dare to go against our Wei family like this?" another emaciated elder spoke up.

"The key is that in such a short period of time, only the Qu family knows the news about Gastrodia, and the Qu family can't get rid of it anyway. A relatively young elder of the Wei family glanced at the patriarch Wei Tianxing and said.

At this time, Wei Tianxing, although his heart was extremely angry and his blood was almost boiling, he was able to maintain a calm heart.

He heard what the elders were saying. The current situation cannot be concluded to be the work of the Qu family, and there is no evidence. If you go to question, even if it is really the Qu family's doing, the Qu family will not be able to admit it.

The only thing that can be done is to continue the investigation secretly and find out at all costs.

Yuyang City is so big, as long as enough manpower and material resources are invested, things can be clarified sooner or later.

"Check!"

Wei Tianxing's fingers tapped on the table several times, and he said a word with an accent in his mouth.

Immediately, he slowly stood up, his slightly rickety body, but with a dignified majesty, continued, "Do whatever it takes to find out the murderers, I want them to pay a thousand times the price for this." Hmph, if it is really the Qu family's doing, I will wash the entire Qu family in blood, and no one can stop the Wei family's revenge, not even the city lord of Yuyang City!"

After saying these few words, Wei Tianxing took a step and walked out of the council hall, his back disappearing outside the door of the council hall.

The elders of the Wei family have different expressions, it is impossible for everyone to like Wei Xiang, who is surnamed Zhang, among these elders, there are also direct descendants, Wei Xiang is dead, their direct descendants, they will have more opportunities.

Of course, who killed Wei Xiang, they still have to go all out to track down the murderer and break his body into thousands of pieces.

..............................

The inner courtyard of the Qu family's house, the patriarch's courtyard.

Patriarch Qu Qingyun and Great Elder Qu Fengyu stood in the courtyard, Qu Qingyun's face also had a shocked expression, he had just learned from Qu Fengyu that Wei Tianxing's precious son had died tragically in the wilderness of Yuyang City not long ago.

Qu Fengyu also just got the news, and he came to report to the patriarch Qu Qingyun as soon as possible.

"Great Elder, who do you think would have done this?" After Qu Qingyun was stunned, his face also had a solemn and puzzled tone, and asked Qu Fengyu.

"It's hard to say, but it can be concluded that the strength of the person who killed Wei Xiang is above the late stage of the Eight Environmental Realms, otherwise it is impossible to kill Wei Xiang and the other six members of the Wei family in such a short period of time. Moreover, this person's methods are very ruthless, and there is not a single living mouth left at the scene. Qu Fengyu is also a little embarrassed.

Even if he does it, I'm afraid it will be difficult to be so decisive and ruthless.

"So, the three-star gastrodia stone is nowhere to be found?" Qu Qingyun frowned, a little disappointed.

"That's the case, our Qu family also suffered a lot of losses, if this three-star gastrodia stone can be obtained by our Qu family, it will be of great help to our Qu family. Qu Fengyu was also helpless.

The three-star quality gastrodia stone is likely to contain a powerful magic weapon or martial art, and if the Qu family can get it, it may be able to add a big deterrent.

The reason is very simple, for example, there is a top-level martial art in Tianma Stone, so if you get this kind of martial art and be cultivated by Qu Qingyun, the head of the Qu family, then Qu Qingyun's strength can be improved by a step on the original basis.

And the three-star quality gastrodia stone may even hide the powerful martial arts of the earth deficiency level, if it can be cultivated to the ground shortage level martial arts, then under the cultivators of the Gathering Spirit Realm, it can be called invincible.

Even if you don't have a martial art, having a top-level magic weapon can also raise a cultivator's strength to a higher level, especially for a powerful cultivator in the late stage of the Nine Rings realm.

"This matter will not end like this, I will report it to the city lord and let the city lord adjudicate. The Wei family blatantly robbed my Qu family's property and should be compensated according to the price. Qu Qingyun's eyes flashed, and his voice was heavy but firm.

"Yes, of course they have to pay for the bastards. Qu Fengyu also nodded heavily.

Wei Xiang's death has nothing to do with the Qu family, but the Qu family's gastrodia was taken away by the Wei family, of course, it can't be just counted, if there is no expression, maybe the Wei family will think that the Qu family is a thief, and Wei Xiang was killed by the Qu family.

"Patriarch, have you heard one more thing? I heard this news in Qiye City. "Qu Fengyu rushed back from Qiye City not long ago, and he went to the mining area as soon as he came back, so he only mentioned the news he heard in Qiye City now.

"Oh, what news?" Qu Qingyun showed a curious look, looked at Qu Fengyu, and asked with a chuckle.

"It's about a piece of news released by the Yuyang City Auction House not long ago, and now many second-rate and third-rate families in Qiye City can't hold it anymore because of this news. Qu Fengyu smiled and said, "At next month's auction house in Yuyang City, there will be a treasure that can assist the Nine Ring cultivators to break through. ”

"It's this thing that makes everyone indifferent. Qu Fengyu said with a flash in his eyes.

In fact, when he just got this news, he couldn't deal with it calmly, he was also in the late stage of the Nine Rings realm, close to the Gathering Spirit Realm, if he could get this treasure, it would also be very important to him.

But he also understands that the value of such a thing must be very high, and even if the Qu family tries his best, he may not be able to successfully buy it. Even if he can buy it in the end, it will not be his turn to use it, and the most priority to use it must be Qu Qingyun, the patriarch. So after some excitement, he gradually looked away.

"What? There can be such a treasure auction? When did the auction house in Yuyang City have such a handiwork?" Qu Qingyun's eyes lit up when he heard this, and there was a hint of excitement in his tone.

"Patriarch, don't say it's the Yuyang City Auction House, even if it's the Seven Leaves City Auction House, I've never heard of such a treasure auction. However, since the Yuyang City Auction House has released this news, it will definitely not be bad. Zhao Qing, the president of the Yuyang City Auction House, is a super strong cultivator in the Gathering Spirit Realm. Qu Fengyu shook his head in amazement and said.

"In Yuyang City, there is no such news yet, Zhao Qing should give priority to promoting it in Qiye City. Great Elder, is there any more detailed information about this treasure?" Qu Qingyun's mind also moved.

"I only heard that it is a potion, and it has the effect of repairing the damaged soul of the cultivator, the name of the potion...... It is a senyong elixir. Qu Fengyu shook his head, took a slight breath, and said with his eyebrows condensed.

"yes, I see. Don't worry, it's still early before the next auction, and in a few days, the news should also be released around Yuyang City. Qu Qingyun nodded, regained his composure, and said in a calm tone.
