In an underground cave that is as spacious as a large hall, there are some luminous crystals embedded sporadically on the walls of the cave on all sides, which reflects this dark cave quite brightly, it can be seen that this cave should not be a natural formation, there are obvious traces of artificial excavation, but these traces are extremely old, and there are many black mosses on the cave wall, obviously this cave has a long history.

What's more peculiar is that the underground cave that should be damp and cold is very dry and warm, and if ordinary people stay here, they may not be sweating profusely for long.

The source of this heat is a thin old man sitting cross-legged in the middle of the cave, like a sculpture.

The old man was wearing a black robe, which was not very large, but it looked very loose on him, and his body was unimaginably thin, and it was not an exaggeration to describe it as 'skin and bones', and from a distance, it looked like a dried corpse, and even seemed to be weathered immediately when the wind blew.

The breath of life exuded from such a dying old monster was surprisingly strong, and layers of heat instinctively emanated from his body, like the rhythm of a heartbeat, vibrating in this cave.

Around the old man, there is also a layer of white sand, which seems incompatible with this cave, obviously not naturally generated here, and I don't know where it came from, and what is the effect, a thick layer, almost buried the two legs of the old man, which also shows that the old man has not moved for an unknown amount of time......

In addition to this strange old man, there are actually nearly ten people sitting cross-legged on the edge of this cave, most of these people are also gray-haired old men, and the invisible coercion emanating from each of them is extremely strong, these people ...... They are all Soul Emperor powerhouses!!

These people, all of them looked at the thin old man in the center of the cave with solemn expressions at this time, and there was a faint excitement in their eyes, as if they were expecting something......

Sitting next to the only entrance and exit on the side of the cave was an old man in a dark blue robe, with gray hair, a slight wrinkle on his face, and an equally gray beard hanging down to his chest, his face looked quite similar to Qin Long, the head of the Qin family—this person was the previous head of the Qin family, that is, Qin Long's father, Qin Tian!

At this moment, Qin Tian's gaze, in addition to paying close attention to the situation of the old man in the center of the cave, was also a little distracted, and from time to time subconsciously swept towards the entrance next to him, vaguely revealing a gloomy color, as if he was worried about something.

Suddenly, Qin Tian's brows furrowed, as if he had noticed something, and he turned his head to look at the entrance next to him, and the other people around him also shifted their attention almost at the same time.

"Da Da Da ......"

The sound of hurried footsteps was extremely obvious in the quiet underground, showing how panicked the owner of the footsteps was, and soon, a cyan figure rushed out from the corner of the passage more than a hundred meters away like the wind, and rushed to the entrance in the blink of an eye.

"Sir...... Master...... No, it's not good!!"

Before the person arrived, an old hoarse and frightened voice came in, making everyone in the cave frown, Qin Tian looked at the old man in Tsing Yi who stopped in front of him, who was a little out of breath, and a sense of ominous premonition rose in his heart, and asked in a deep voice: "What happened at home?!"

This old man is the last chief housekeeper of the Qin Mansion, he has followed Qin Tian since he was a child, and he has also retired after Qin Tian's 'retirement', and he can be regarded as a figure of the older generation of the Qin family, a person who watched Qin Long and Qin Hu grow up, and his strength is not weak, and he has the late stage of Soul Venerable, with the temperament he has cultivated over the years, he will actually be so flustered, which shows that the changes in the family are by no means ordinary.

The old man in green clothes had a pale face, looking a little masterless, and hurriedly said intermittently: "Qin Hu...... Qin Hu...... Assassinated at home! and...... There are also Qin Xu, Qin Xuan, Qin Chen, Qin Lin, and Qin Qian...... They...... He was assassinated at home!"

"What?!" Qin Tian's pupils shrank, Huo Ran got up, and exclaimed, "You say it again!!"

The old man trembled and said, "Qin Hu...... Qin Hu and the other five main members who stayed at home were all ...... They were all assassinated!"

"What?!How is this possible!!How could Qin Hu be assassinated!"

At this moment, there were also people next to him who couldn't help but exclaim, and everyone had a look of disbelief in their eyes, you know, Qin Hu is a strong man in ......the middle stage of the Soul Emperor! It's a fantasy!

"And ......," but at this moment, the old man who reported the news continued tremblingly, "and ......."

"And?!" The corners of Qin Tian's eyes jumped, and his face was extremely ugly, "What else?"

"The eldest young master, and the second young master...... They, they ......" The old man was speechless, and he didn't seem to dare to even say the news, and finally gritted his teeth before saying, "They are in the southern suburbs of Yancheng...... Killed by Bai Yunfei!!"

"Buzz ......"

Qin Tian only felt a shock in his brain, as if he had been attacked by a soul attack by an enemy stronger than himself, his body trembled, and he actually staggered back a few steps, and asked in a trance: "You say...... What do you say?"

The old man's eyes also showed a look of grief, and he said in a trembling voice: "Two young masters...... Killed by Bai Yunfei of the Refining Weapon Sect!"

"What?!Shou Hao and Shou Feng were killed?!Bai Yun Fei of the Refining Weapon Sect?!The same person who came to divorce the Tang family's girl a few days ago?!How could he kill Shou Hao and Shou Feng?What the hell is going on?!"

Qin Tian fell into a momentary trance, but immediately next to him, a figure from the older generation of the Qin family asked in disbelief.

"No...... I don't know why...... Before, I rushed back to the Qin family with the head of the family, and I learned the news that Qin Hu and others were assassinated, but before I could finish dealing with it, I learned the news that the second young master was killed by Bai Yunfei in the southern suburbs...... When I left, the head of the house was fighting with that Bai Yunfei!" The old butler's tone regained his tone and quickly explained the situation.

However, this sudden and shocking change made everyone, including Qin Tian, a little unable to react for a while, although all the people here were Soul Emperor powerhouses, but the family that was still doing business as usual half a day ago suddenly had two tragic incidents in a row, which ...... It's a bit hard to accept.

Especially Qin Tian, a peerless powerhouse who has practiced for a hundred years, first learned that his second son was assassinated, and then his two grandsons also died, this blow is simply unimaginable.

"The head of the family is fighting with that Bai Yunfei? It's not good! The head of the family will definitely lose his cool after losing his beloved son, if he kills Bai Yunfei like this, it will definitely cause the wrath of the Refining Weapon Sect, and I am afraid that it will lead to the disaster of extermination!!"

At this time, the face of an old man in a white robe changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

Another old man with a grim face next to him snorted coldly: "Hmph!!Kill it, kill it! Could it be that he killed our two descendants, shouldn't he pay for his life?! Even though his Refining Weapon Sect is powerful, he is not enough to cover the sky with one hand! I really have to work hard, and my Qin family is not a lamb to be slaughtered!"

"You can't say that! This is an extraordinary time, and we must not cause this kind of disaster!" Another figure of the older generation of the Qin family spoke, "Qin Hu and the others were assassinated, and the identity of the murderer is not even known, and it is really unwise to start a war with the Refining Weapon Sect again! This Bai Yunfei can be captured, but it must not be killed! At least...... We also have to wait for the Ancestor to advance to the Soul Emperor, and then we will have the capital to compete with the Refining Sect!"

"That's right! Old Ancestor may now carry out the last 'soul gathering' at any time, as long as he succeeds, he will be able to truly advance to the Soul Emperor! This matter is related to the fate of my Qin family's entire clan, and there is absolutely no room for failure! You have to endure it...... Bear with it!!" A middle-aged man in Tsing Yi dressed as a scribe said in a deep voice, "Uncle, I'm afraid only you can stop the head of the family now, no matter what, you can't let him kill Bai Yunfei now!"

“......”

Listening to everyone's discussions, Qin Tian's face kept changing, and suddenly, the temperature in the entire cave rose sharply, and the original smooth fluctuations suddenly jumped violently, making everyone shocked.

Qin Tian's pupils shrank, and he suddenly turned his head to look at the thin old man in the center of the cave, as if he had finally regained a trace of calm, and said with an extremely gloomy face: "Qin Shu, Qin Jian, you two go out with me!" The rest of the people continue to stay, and they must not let the Ancestor's advancement miss anything!"

......

On the ground, at the foot of a certain mountain range below the Yuanshi ore vein, there was a sudden ripple of water ripples in the void, and three figures stepped out in one step.

The leader was Qin Tian, and behind him was the middle-aged man dressed as a scribe and another burly middle-aged man, both of whom were figures of the Qin family's uncle generation, and both of them were in the early stage of the Soul Emperor.

After appearing on the ground, Qin Tian only paused slightly, and then raised his hand and waved it in front of him, a layer of transparent ripples blocked it, and the three of them stepped out in one step and disappeared again.

When they reappeared, they were already thousands of meters away, and the three of them flashed with light all over their bodies, speeding away in the direction of Yancheng, and after flying out for a while, they immediately used teleportation again, and the movement speed was amazing, and in a moment, they had already flown out for dozens of miles, and they could already see the shadow of Yancheng in the distance.

Using teleportation again, when the three of them reappeared, there was a mountain hundreds of meters high under their feet, without any stopping, and the three of them were ready to continue flying forward with a little foot.

But at this moment, Qin Long's face in front of him suddenly changed, and he exclaimed, "Be careful!!"

His exclamation came extremely suddenly, and the two people behind him were stunned, but their reactions were quite fast, and in the next moment, their faces changed drastically, urging their soul power, ready to deal with possible crises.

But while they reacted very quickly, the danger came much faster!

Even a moment before Qin Tian's reminder, a black shadow flew out from the shadow of a boulder on the top of the mountain below, and the burly middle-aged man had just activated his soul power when he felt a breath of death completely envelop him!

A few meters in front of him, Qin Tian saw that the burly middle-aged man was about to be attacked, his eyes flashed with murderous intent, and with a shake of his right hand, he was ready to kill this sneak attacker.

But...... At this moment, in the void behind him, there was a sudden flash of transparent ripples, a faint black mist leaked out of the void, and a ghostly vague figure appeared behind him without warning!

This is not an instantaneous movement, but it is as if there is a person hiding here in the void behind him, appearing at this moment!

A black hand poked out from the phantom, and his index finger stretched out and pointed at the back of Qin Tian's head!
