Chapter 154: That Night
The news of the Xiao family's extinction fermented quickly.
This is not a trivial matter, coupled with the power of the empire, this has led to the fact that in just a few days, the entire Gama Empire is about to spread.
The mysterious powerhouse who shot at the Xiao family also caused a lot of speculation, especially after the battlefield hundreds of miles away from Utan City was discovered, the rumors became more and more mysterious.
Because judging from the traces of the battlefield, the person who shot is at least a strong person at the level of Douwang and Douhuang.
For this reason, many people deliberately rushed over to pay their respects, and the number of people was too large, causing serious damage to the first scene.
Among them, there is a middle-aged mercenary with a sharp-beaked monkey gills who has excellent luck, and like everyone else, curiously probing deep cracks in the ground.
Contrary to the simple amazement of others, he found a Na Ring!
His heart was beating faster at this moment, and seeing that no one noticed him, the man held the ring and stuffed it into his crotch, unable to hide the ecstasy on his face.
"Lao Zhang, what are you laughing at, you have found a treasure?"
"No, I remembered something happy."
"What's the matter?"
"I'm going to be a father."
The simple lake got over, and the mercenaries who asked didn't think much about it, and the strong people who fought here were not fools, how could they drop loot or something, they just had a long experience when they came over, so that they could brag about it in the future, and no one had the intention of picking up leaks at all.
If you really want to pick up the leak, it is better to sneak into the Xiao family.
It's a pity that the Xiao family has been blocked by the City Lord's Mansion.
The lucky old Zhang silently calculated that it was time to live in a place where no one knew him.
...
Imperial capital.
Xiao Yan, who had changed his appearance, had just arrived in a flying demonic beast, feeling the prosperity of the Holy City and looking at the direction of Yunlan Sect from afar.
"Nalan Yanran, I'm here as promised, are you ready?"
Thinking of the three-year contract in a few months, Xiao Yan clenched his fists, and he couldn't wait to wash away the shame.
After staring for a few seconds and retracting his gaze, Xiao Yan walked towards the Mitre auction house.
Suddenly, the conversation of several passers-by caught his attention.
"Did you hear that? Something happened to the Xiao family in Utan City, and all the doors were destroyed. ”
"Which Xiao family?"
"You don't even know this, it's the Xiao family where Xiao Yan, who has turned from a genius to a waste, is located."
"Do you say it will be the hand of the Yunlan Sect, I inquired, Xiao Yan and the young sect master of the Yunlan Sect, Nalan Yanran, have a lot of festivals, and they didn't make a three-year contract when they quit the marriage."
Aba Aba, Aba Aba.
A group of people are discussing the hottest topics at the moment, and all kinds of brain speculations.
Suddenly, the loudest man was grabbed by the collar from behind, and the force was not light, and he stumbled on the spot, almost not standing firmly.
"What kind of dog thing that doesn't have long eyes..."
Half of the scolding was done, and the rest was swallowed back silently.
I saw a mediocre-looking young man, his eyes were red, and he could feel the surging anger and killing intent that was faintly about to emit, which made people feel empty unconsciously.
"What did you just say? Say it again! ”
Ignoring the strange eyes of the passers-by around him, Xiao Yan grabbed the man and asked sharply.
"Which... That sentence? ”
"Xiao family, you said that the Xiao family was destroyed!"
"Ah, yes, yes, this matter has now spread all over the Garma Empire, everyone knows that it is miserable, I heard that when the City Lord's Mansion helped collect the corpses, a big pit was dug and almost filled..."
Bang!
Before the man finished speaking, he was knocked to the ground by a punch from the young man in black.
"You deceive your wife..."
Just when he couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to resist, he saw that the young man in black had turned into wings and had already rushed into the sky.
Fighting King Strong?!
Cold sweat flowed down.
In the sky, Xiao Yan had already handed over his body to Yaochen's control.
"Teacher, hurry up, please!"
A deep voice sounded from the heart, very muffled.
Yaochen controlled his body, sighed lightly, and while hurrying quickly, he was constantly comforting and persuading.
"Xiao Yan, calm down, I understand your current mood, but there is one thing you have to think clearly, this soul hall is mostly for our master and apprentice, the Xiao family just suffered from the disaster of the pond fish, it is very likely that they are still in Utan City, just waiting for you to throw yourself into the net."
"You have to think clearly, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, only if you live, can you hope to avenge the Xiao family!"
"Of course, if you have to go, you will accompany you as a teacher, and this matter, in the final analysis, will have nothing to do with the old man."
Xiao Yan didn't reply, and remained silent.
Yaochen didn't say anything more, and accelerated towards Utan City.
He understands Xiao Yan's feelings, people are emotional, many times he knows that there are tigers in the mountains, but he still has to go to Tiger Mountain, if Xiao Yan can treat him indifferently even if his family is destroyed, he will not accept him as a disciple.
The scenery on both sides is flying back, the wind is galloping, and the medicine dust has raised the speed to the limit.
Half a day later, I was already able to see the outline of Utan City from a distance.
It was at this moment that Xiao Yan finally spoke.
"Teacher, stop, you're right, I'm impulsive, I have to inform the eldest brother and second brother as soon as possible, as well as Xiao Yu who went to Canaan Academy, as long as we are still here, there is still hope for the Xiao family!"
Hearing this, Yaochen finally showed a look of relief.
Boldly returning to Utan City, he could understand, but he didn't agree, Xiao Yan was able to calm down so quickly and suppress the hatred in his heart, he was still quite satisfied.
"The matter of the notice is not in a hurry for the time being, we can't go back to Utan City openly, but sneak in, with my current spiritual strength, there is still hope, the matter of the Xiao family, we just heard about it, if we want to find out the truth, we must go in and take a look."
"Teacher, is it risky?"
"Don't worry, this little concealment method is still available for the teacher, you just need to control your emotions."
"I see, please, teacher."
Yaochen nodded, and then took action.
Not far away, he fought wits and courage with the air all the way, and it was not until evening that he touched Utan City and infiltrated the ruined Xiao family.
has never encountered danger, and Yaochen has gradually realized a problem.
"Those people should have left, judging from the traces of the scene, it is indeed the handiwork of the Soul Palace, let's go to the place where the corpses are collected and have a look."
"Hmm."
Xiao Yan responded in a deep voice.
The dead man's pit is not far away, just two or three miles outside the city, and there is no one guarding the city lord's mansion here, and in the hazy night, the messy corpses are piled up, which looks very terrifying.
In this meeting, the timid people did not dare to come over easily.
Angrily killing a few mercenaries who touched the corpses at night, Xiao Yan regained control of his body and fell to his knees with a 'poof'.
In this pit, he saw familiar faces, and only felt that it was because of himself that he caused trouble for them, and for a while, a strong sense of guilt suppressed his anger, gritted his teeth, hung his head, and felt that he was guilty.
The medicine dust also floated out, also silent.
He is also responsible for this matter.
But soon, Yaochen discovered the abnormality.
"Xiao Yan, no, there's a problem!"
When Yaochen raised his hand, the soul power flew up with a corpse.
Under Xiao Yan's suspicious gaze, a little soul power rushed into the 'corpse', as if it had pierced an invisible membrane, and the corpse, which was originally stiff and white, jumped up reluctantly, waving his hand to fight back.
When he saw the people on the ground clearly, he stopped his hand in time, and then looked at the surrounding environment, shocked by fear and confusion at the same time.
"Third Young Master? What's going on? ”
"I don't know, Xiao Ming, you wait for a while, and then talk about the rest"
Xiao Yan could recognize this person, he was the son of a steward of the Xiao family, he was not very familiar, but he could also call out the name.
Yaochen ignored them, and his spiritual power spread out, flying out with corpses in his arms, repeating the previous movements.
Soon, forty or fifty people stood up in the originally quiet and cold clearing.
From the anger at the beginning, to confusion, fear, and now to the sadness, the whimpering sound is not stopped.
"That's all, there is a good news that is not good news, I didn't find your father's body, they can survive, someone secretly took action, and used spiritual power to simply seal their breath of life, making them fall into a state like suspended animation, even if we don't come, they will gradually wake up in a few days."
didn't find Xiao Zhan, Xiao Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
I thought that no one in the Xiao family survived, but dozens of them survived, which was already a surprise.
Suppressing his doubts for the time being, Xiao Yan looked at the old man in front of the crowd.
"Great Elder, what happened to the Xiao family that night?"
The sudden change in the family has changed the Xiao family, which was not united, at this moment, and put aside the previous prejudices.
The Great Elder withdrew his gaze from the pit, his sad eyes gradually filled with anger.
"It's a group of mysterious people in black robes, there are about more than a dozen, the strength is very strong, we tried our best to fight skills, and they were defeated casually, the gap is like a moat, and we can only watch the clansmen being slaughtered."
"In the end, only me, the second, third and patriarch were left, and a black-robed man asked us about the whereabouts of Gu Yu, and it was at that time that we knew what their purpose was, just for that unwarranted bullshit Gu Yu!"
"The patriarch scolded, and then, we were poisoned, and a black-robed man pierced our bodies with chains, and I only felt that my consciousness was engulfed in an instant, and what happened after that was unknown."
The Great Elder of the Xiao Family shook his head and poured out, with endless hatred.
But he was also confused about being able to resurrect the 'filthy earth'.
Xiao Yan asked the others again, and the results were the same, they were all killed neatly by a black-robed man, the 'death' of Mi Mi Hu Hu, and the 'resurrection' of Mi Mi Hu Hu.
"Teacher, this matter..."
"Well, there are many doubts, perhaps, the next time you meet that Chen Guan, from him, you will get some answers, calculate the time, he should be in Utan City at that time."
"Let's press this matter for the time being, what you need to do now is to settle the Xiao family's group of people, this Utan City must not stay any longer."
Yaochen guessed some inside stories, but there were also many things he didn't understand.
The Soul Palace's attack on the Xiao family was not because of him and Xiao Yan, but what kind of ancient jade?
This made most of the guilt in the hearts of the two of them dissipate at once, and all that was left was anger and doubt.
Xiao Yan nodded, and began to think, how to settle this group of clansmen?
