With the help of Qingyi, Li Yunxiao easily killed the seventeen members of the Hong family in less than an hour.

It's a pity that when he killed the eighteenth person, this person didn't know if he was particularly afraid of death, or he had the foresight, he had the cultivation of a four-star martial artist, and the moment he saw Li Yunxiao, he didn't even say hello and threw down his companion and ran away desperately, and at the same time sent out an arrow into the air.

This is the distress signal of the Hong family, which spreads out in the sky like fireworks, and gradually condenses a big "Hong" word, which has not dispersed for a long time, which is very gorgeous. Once the children of the nearby Hong family saw this signal, they must immediately rush over to support.

The production process of the ringing arrow is very complicated, and the inventory of the Hong family is not large, so the person who can carry the distress token of the ringing arrow on his body is not an important person of the Hong family, but also the direct bloodline of the Hong family.

Li Yunxiao wanted to catch up and kill this person, but he was entangled by several other people, and after he killed these people with the help of Qing Yi's illusion, the four-star martial artist had already fled without a trace, and Qing Yi's spiritual power was almost consumed, although Li Yunxiao's combat power was strong, but without Qing Yi's help, it would take a lot of effort to kill a four-star martial artist, so he had to choose to stop.

The next day, the Hong family held an emergency meeting of the whole clan.

As the bell rang, all the direct bloodlines of the Hong family, no matter who they were, no matter what they were doing, had no special reason to put down what they were doing and rush to the meeting hall within a quarter of an hour.

In the hall, a man who looked to be about half a hundred years old sat at the top of the room.

His face was covered with dark clouds, and a strong aura emanated like nothing, making Xu Xiuwei feel a huge pressure on the disciples of the Hong family, who were not very high, and he didn't dare to take a breath.

He is none other than Hong Yangzhen, the current patriarch of the Hong family, who is seventy-eight years old this year, but he has cultivated to be strong, so he looks no different from a middle-aged person.

On both sides below Hong Yangzhen sat the Great Elder Hong Yangxu, the Second Elder Hong Yangming, the Third Elder Hong Yangkang, the Fourth Elder Hong Yangfeng, and other current elders of the Hong family, as for other people who had no status, they sat behind these elders.

Hong Yangzhen's eyes swept over the people sitting like swords, and the murderous aura escaped from his body, and he scolded angrily:

"Waste, it's all useless waste.

On weekdays, you are all arrogant and don't take anyone seriously. Now it's okay, I actually let an eight-star warrior kill fifty-one members of our Hong family one after another, our Hong family has never had such a big casualty in the past hundred years, but today it appeared in the hands of my Hong Yangzhen.

This is not only a shame for me, but also a shame for our Hong family.

I just want to ask you, don't you feel ashamed, can you hold up your head? You don't feel ashamed, I'm ashamed of you! You can hold up your head, I bow my head for you.

My old face has been lost to the point that you don't even have a skin, and now I can only nest at home, and I don't even dare to go out of the gate, for fear of being seen by the other three clans and making fun of it in public......"

Hong Yangzhen, the patriarch of the Hong family, was furious, and reprimanded for more than an hour, and after venting, the depressed mood was relieved, and the murderous aura on his body slowly converged.

Only then did everyone feel that the pressure had dropped sharply and they were much more relaxed, but they still drooped their heads one by one, showing shame on their faces, because Hong Yangzhen was right, they were waste, although they didn't want to admit it, and they didn't want to admit it, but the facts were in front of them, and they couldn't deny it.

It's aggrieved enough for them to think about!!

In order to catch Li Yunxiao, they first locked up Li Yunxiao's friend Lot, and waited for Li Yunxiao to throw himself into the net, waiting for more than a month, Li Yunxiao finally broke into their Hong house at night as they wished, but they not only failed to catch Li Yunxiao, but were also killed by Li Yunxiao More than 30 people.

Last night, they blocked the entire Gujing City, searching Li Yunxiao's whereabouts door to door, but they didn't expect to be exploited by Li Yunxiao again, and each of them was broken, killing nineteen members of their Hong family, if it wasn't for the critical time, a clansman released an arrow in time to scare Li Yunxiao away, and the number of casualties is estimated to rise.

But even so, in just two nights, their Hong family lost fifty-one people.

Although this number has not hurt their Hong family yet, and the vast majority of these fifty-one people are collateral bloodlines of their Hong family, but at this rate, no matter how strong their Hong family background is and how large the population is, they will not be able to withstand such consumption.

Not to mention, what made them even more unacceptable was that Li Yunxiao was actually only an eight-star warrior, which was a great shame for their Hong family.

This time, their Hong family is disgraced, and their prestige in the eyes of everyone may be greatly reduced, and they will definitely be ridiculed by other families because of this, so it is reasonable for the patriarch Hong Yangzhen to be furious.

When the atmosphere eased a little, Hong Qidi stood up and said, "Patriarch, I think we were all deceived by Li Yunxiao?"

Hong Yangzhen's tone was tinged with a hint of gloom: "If you have something to say, don't be sluggish?"

Hong Qi said with a straight face: "I think Li Yunxiao should have hidden his cultivation, according to the combat power he has shown, at least he is a high-level martial artist, not the eight-star warrior we see." ”

Hong Yangzhen chin slightly, thoughtful.

The fourth elder, Hong Yangfeng, turned cold and snorted coldly: "You don't want to make excuses for your dereliction of duty the night before. ”

Hong Yangfeng has been in charge of the Hong family's punishment for more than ten years, and he has unconsciously formed a chilling deterrent.

Hong Qidi twitched unnaturally, and arched his hand: "Patriarch, the four elders, and the elders, please be clear, I will be willing to admit the punishment for my own mistakes, but I am just talking about things at this time, and I have no other meaning." ”

Hong Yangfeng didn't care, and looked at Hong Qiqi coldly: "Then tell me, why do you think that Li Yunxiao is not an eight-star warrior, but a high-level martial artist." ”

Hong Qidi replied: "Hong Jiahao once said that Li Yunxiao was a three-star warrior, but the night before yesterday, I used my divine sense to probe Li Yunxiao's cultivation and found that he was not a three-star warrior at all, but an eight-star warrior. Hong Jiahao would never dare to lie, and my divine sense would never go wrong, that is to say, in just two months, Li Yunxiao was promoted to five minor cultivators in one go. ”

As soon as these words came out, a large conference hall suddenly resounded with the sound of gasping, and everyone's expressions were also different, but all of them were full of shocked expressions.

"How is this possible?"

"Hong Qidi, are you mistaken? ”

"Even if you take a pill like a skyrocketing cultivation, it is impossible for a person to be promoted to five minor cultivations in such a short period of time. ”

For a while, there was a lot of discussion, but they were all doubting Hong Qidi's judgment.

When the discussion was a little quieter, Hong Qidi continued: "If a person's cultivation wants to progress by leaps and bounds, it can only be done by taking heavenly treasures or elixirs, but there are certain hidden dangers in both methods, which are easy to cause a weak foundation and unstable breath, especially when taking pills, this hidden danger is even more obvious. ”

Everyone nodded one after another, there are pros and cons to everything, it's just that the pros outweigh the disadvantages, or the disadvantages outweigh the pros.

Hong Qixiao continued: "I have seen Li Yunxiao make a move, his breath is very calm, it doesn't seem like he took any kind of elixir and forcibly improved his cultivation, and Li Yunxiao's fist skills are domineering and his swordsmanship is sharp, which is not at all a level that a warrior can achieve, so I feel that Li Yunxiao has been hiding his cultivation from beginning to end, at least he is also a high-level martial artist, otherwise, Hong Jingren would not be easily injured by his punch." ”

When everyone heard this, they were shocked again, they didn't expect Hong Jingren to fight with Li Yunxiao, and he was easily injured by Li Yunxiao.

Hong Jingren is a seven-star martial artist, and has the ability to leapfrog challenges, far from being comparable to ordinary seven-star martial artists, since Li Yunxiao can repel Hong Jingren with one punch, that is to say, Li Yunxiao at least has the combat power of a high-level martial artist, and everyone understands the meaning of Hong Qi's words.

In this way, it is really possible for Li Yunxiao to hide his cultivation, otherwise, it would be too rebellious for a person to be promoted to five minor cultivations in just two months.

Hong Yangzhen nodded slightly, but his face immediately became gloomy, he looked towards Hong Jingren, and said coldly: "Jingren, is there such a thing?"

Hong Jingren first glared at Hong Qiyi fiercely, then stood up and replied respectfully: "Patriarch, there is such a thing. Although Hong Jingren is Hong Yangzhen's third son, on this occasion, he has to be called his father by the patriarch to show seriousness.

Hong Yangzhen reprimanded angrily: "Bastard, why did you hide such an important matter." ”

Hong Jingren's cheeks twitched and explained: "I'm not hiding it and not reporting it, but because I haven't figured out a matter yet, if I report it hastily, it will not only be an irresponsible attitude, but it may also bring wrong judgment to the family." ”

After Hong Yangzhen heard this, his expression suddenly softened a lot, but his voice was still very stern, and he continued to ask, "What do you want to figure out?"

Hong Jingren seemed to have fallen into some kind of memory, his brows slowly furrowed, and after a while, he said slowly: "I've been struggling, how did I lose?"

Many people are very puzzled by Hong Jingren's words, defeat is defeat, what is not easy to understand, but there are also many people waiting for Hong Jingren's next words, because they believe that Hong Jingren cannot be targeted.

Just as they expected, Hong Jingren paused for a moment and continued: "Although I don't know what kind of cultivation Li Yunxiao is, I can be sure that Li Yunxiao definitely does not have the cultivation of a martial artist, and it is precisely because of this that I am more and more confused, because Li Yunxiao's combat power is very strong, at least not weaker than a middle-level martial artist, which is an extremely contradictory thing. ”

In fact, there is no need for Hong Jingren to say, everyone present knows that Li Yunxiao is extremely powerful, otherwise, it would be impossible to escape from the encirclement of nearly 100 people from their Hong family, and he also killed several middle-level martial artists.

"It's a bit of a bizarre thing. Second Elder Hong Yangming touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"Did you take the Storm Qi Pill? I heard that this pill can make a cultivator instantly increase the strength of several minor cultivators. The fourth elder, Hong Jianfeng, groaned and expressed his opinion.

"It shouldn't be, no matter what pills you take, your breath can't stabilize in a short period of time, and there are great sequelae after taking pills. Second Elder Hong Yangfu shook his head in denial without hesitation.

"Either it is a certain secret method, I heard that some powerful secret method can not only forcibly increase the combat power, but also the breath will not be affected much. Ninth Elder Hong Yanghai said slowly.

Hong Yangfu should be extremely familiar with this aspect, and shook his head again: "If it is a secret method that forcibly increases combat power, then after the secret method, there will be a long period of weakness, Li Yunxiao still has the ability to come out and sneak attack our Hong family's people last night, obviously there is no such period of weakness, that is to say, there is no such secret method." ”

The hall suddenly began to discuss, whether it was the elders or juniors expressed their opinions, but none of them could convince others, and after half an hour of discussion, there was still no reliable result.

Great Elder Hong Yangxu immediately spoke: "Patriarch, why don't we call Hong Jiahao over again and ask again, to see if he missed anything last time, or if he remembered anything wrong." ”

Hong Yangzhen felt that it made sense, and bowed his head slightly.
