At the same time, the Ximen family in Baicheng.
In the secret room, the life jade stone engraved with the three words "Xi Men Ting" suddenly cracked.
After a while, the jade shattered into pieces and turned into powder.
A servant of the Ximen family happened to come in to clean and noticed at a glance that a piece of jade was missing.
My eyelids twitched when I saw the jade powder on the ground.
His calm face turned into one of horror.
Thinking that he was seeing things, he rubbed his eyes with trembling hands.
When I realized that what I saw was no different from before, I felt a chill down my spine.
Stumbled out of the secret room.
Along the way, he cried out heartbreakingly: "Master, Master, the eldest son's life is broken!!!"
Everyone in the Ximen family who heard this was stunned in disbelief.
The eldest son's life gem is shattered?
Doesn't that mean, the eldest son is gone?!
In the past hundred years, the Ximen family has never encountered such a major incident. For a time, people were in panic, wondering if the eldest son had offended someone. Otherwise, why would they kill him when they knew he was a member of the Ximen family?
"What?"
"The eldest son's life gem is broken?"
The dignified middle-aged man slammed the table and shouted at the chairman of the family.
His whole face was filled with astonishment.
If he hadn't seen the servants looking so bewildered, he would have almost thought it was a farce or a joke.
Ximen Ming's heart skipped a beat. He rubbed his sore temples, but still held on to hope and asked, "It's dark now. Did you see it wrongly?"
"Are you sure it's the eldest son's life jade?"
After being asked this question, the servants began to doubt their own eyes.
The memory is also a little fuzzy.
He recalled the scene he had witnessed and shook his head uncertainly. "I took a quick glimpse and saw that the eldest young master's life jade was missing, with a pile of fragments and powder on the ground. I didn't examine it carefully, so I couldn't say for sure. It might be another young master's life jade."
If a piece of the jade of life is broken, no matter which son of the Ximen family dies tragically outside, it will be considered a provocation to the Ximen family.
Ximen Ming's face darkened and he forced himself to think positively.
The thing he was most proud of in his life was raising Ximen Ting, a son who was perfect in every way. It was hard for him to imagine his son's death. He didn't have much father-son affection for Ximen Ting, but he felt sorry for the effort and resources he had invested in him.
He said coldly, "Lead the way to the secret room of the Life Jade."
The servant led Ximen Ming to the door of the secret room of the Life Jade with weak legs.
Behind him, there were several elders of the Ximen family.
They were all attracted by the servant's shrill voice.
When they arrived, they looked at Ximen Ming, wanting to know the details of the situation.
Ximen Ming shook his head and said nothing.
He was very confused. How could he explain it to these elders?
The elders had no choice but to rush into the secret room.
As soon as they entered the secret room, they keenly noticed that the rich breath of life had faded a little.
There were two piles of debris and powder on the ground.
Ximen Ming's face turned pale and blue.
He saw that the two missing pieces of life jade on the platform belonged to Ximen Ting and Ximen Ye.
Not long ago, Ximen Ting hurriedly sent a message back, asking him to send an elder to the Baicheng Auction House, specifically asking for Ximen Ye, saying that he wanted Ximen Ye to follow him, kill a group of people, and steal some treasures.
result……
Ximen Ting, on the other hand, not only did he fail to return safely with the treasure, but... he also lost both of their lives.
What a rebellious son! Not only did he fail to snatch the treasure, but he also killed the high-level elder of their Ximen family!
You know, it is extremely difficult to train an elder with high cultivation.
Especially Ximen Ye, a top elder with top talent and strength, who possesses the direct bloodline of the Ximen family, is even more rare.
It can be said that every elder is the backbone of the Ximen family.
On the surface, the Ximen family was only missing an elder, but in reality, the overall strength of the Ximen family had been weakened by 10%.
The plans customized a hundred years ago may also undergo certain changes as a result.
One careless move will lead to failure.
A century of preparation has come to nothing.
The Ximen family's dormancy will also be destroyed in an instant.
The more he thought about it, the more his heart ached. Ximen Ming's eyes went dark and he almost fainted.
The elder behind him noticed it and put his hand on Ximen Ming's waist.
"Master, calm down."
"Things should turn around, don't get too angry and make yourself sick."
"I know." Ximen Ming coughed a few times, waved his hand and said it was okay.
"How could Ximen Ye fall?"
An elder was horrified and asked the question that everyone was wondering, but because there was no one who knew the inside story, all he got in response was silence.
In Baicheng, with Ximen Ye's strength, he can easily move around.
How come it just disappeared out of nowhere?
It was no wonder that the head of the family was so surprised that they couldn't understand it.
"Master, there is a curse. We have placed the source of the curse on each of the young masters. Once they are killed, the curse will immediately transfer to the murderer."
The servant was smart. He guarded the Life Stone day and night. Knowing the existence of the curse, he immediately told it out.
"Quick, use the curse to find out who the murderer is."
"He who dares to kill someone from my Ximen family will pay the price!"
Ximen Ming glanced at the servant approvingly, took a breath, and said in a cold voice.
The elder at the back walked forward silently.
He stood in a horse stance, his palms facing the two lumps of crushed powder, and began to mutter incantations.
