In the Ximen family of Baicheng.
The air pressure is low.
The elders held the meeting with solemn expressions and stern faces.
"Master, the thunder tribulation has ill intentions and is probably closely related to the eldest son's death."
"I have the same feeling. Anyone who can easily break the Ximen family curse is definitely not a simple person."
"Who among us doesn't know the powerful people in Baicheng? The only person who survived the thunder tribulation was beyond our expectations. There's something very wrong with this person."
"The thunder tribulation is terrifying. This is the first time I've seen it in my life. I agree with what the elders have said."
Ximen Ming's face turned pale. "You mean, the person who survived the thunder tribulation is the murderer?"
The thunder tribulation is terrifying, but there is someone behind it who is forcing it back...
If these two people are in the same group, it will be very difficult to deal with them.
I'm afraid I can't avenge my son's death.
"That's too hasty an analysis. The murderer may not be that one person."
"There's another person's aura, so strong that I can't even glimpse it."
"I have a feeling that even the Lord of White City wouldn't be my opponent."
Ximen Ming sighed, his brows furrowed with worry. "Anyone who can force back the thunder tribulation must be a powerful being. If you provoke him, the consequences will be unpredictable."
Seeing the patriarch's bad face, the elders' hearts sank to the bottom.
Their strength was weaker than that of the patriarch, and they were unable to sense the other person the patriarch mentioned.
If the other person's strength is really as terrifying as the head of the family said, it would be normal for him to be able to silently destroy the eldest son of their Ximen family.
If they provoke them, they may face the danger of genocide.
"Master, so, we can only pretend to be at a loss and remain silent?"
Said an elder with a hot temper.
Ximen Ming glanced at him, "What do you want to do?"
"Spread the news of Young Master Ximen's death. It would be best if it could spread throughout the twelve cities."
"The strong have their own pride. If that person hears about this, he will definitely come looking for me."
"We will activate the clan protection formation, which will increase the power by thousands of times and easily keep them here."
"Whether to kill or to chop is up to our mood, isn't it?"
The hot-tempered elder laughed out loud.
He was very satisfied with the crude method he came up with.
Ximen Ming was furious, "You rotten head."
"You also know that the strong have the arrogance of the strong."
"How can you just apologize so casually and give a lot of compensation?"
"It's a blessing that they didn't retaliate against us."
"You lure them over here, they'll break the formation in two or three moves and catch us all in one fell swoop."
"Don't forget, some time ago, all members of the Ximen family returned to the family. If we really lure that powerful person here, everyone in the Ximen family will die, without exception."
"You are confused! You are pushing your family towards a dead end!"
The hot-tempered elder froze.
What Ximen Ming said were things he had never considered.
He always likes to say whatever he thinks.
In many cases, other elders would flatter him.
To the extent that, he always thought that the opinions he expressed were pretty good.
Until today.
Being demoted to nothing.
He was shocked to realize that his thinking was too one-sided.
If he really wanted to do what he said and lead people to the main base at Ximen...
There is a possibility that the Ximen family will disappear from the long river of time.
Became a family with a brief period of glory in history.
As time goes by, it is gradually forgotten.
"The Patriarch is right, I am indeed a piece of shit."
He shook his head and patted his head, then said with a wry smile, "We still have to find another suitable method."
“…”
An elder immediately said, "Master, don't overthink it. The murderer may not be that terrifying person."
"The curse isn't unsolvable. After all, we haven't witnessed it being lifted with our own eyes. What if they've mastered a technique or spiritual weapon we don't understand?"
"Ximen Ye's strength is indeed ranked among the best in Baicheng, but in other areas, he might only be a follower. It's not surprising that he was killed. Ximen Ting is even weaker with his foundation-building stage cultivation. A cultivator in the Golden Core stage can destroy him."
"Therefore, I have a deduction. The murderer is from outside of White City, and the person who caused and dispelled the thunder tribulation is someone else."
"As for the murderer's purpose in killing people, I don't know."
"That makes sense." Ximen Ming pressed his swollen head. He also hoped that the murderer's cultivation level was as low as possible.
Only in this way can he put an end to the uneasiness in his heart.
Through the ceiling above his head, he looked up at the blue sky where the thunder had dissipated, praying that the murderer would be found by their Ximen family as soon as possible.
The daily vigilance is really tiring.
End it sooner so they can return to their normal lives sooner.
An elder whose status was second only to Ximen Ming knocked on the armrest of his chair and said his first words in the meeting:
"The murderer has not been identified yet. Your analysis makes sense."
Ximen Ming withdrew his gaze from the sky and said, "Elder Fu, please tell me your analysis."
Ximen Fu nodded and said, "I've already sent people to the White City Auction House. During his lifetime, Ximen Ting had conflicts and disputes with two groups of people."
"One group of people were in private room number 20 during the auction. According to those in the auction hall, there was a young woman in the room who got into an argument during the auction."
"The other group of people was auctioneer Xi Qian, who had the combined power of the entire auction house behind her. The eldest son tried to cut in line, but Xi Qian refused, leading to a dispute between the two."
