Although the Xue family is the number one family in Yinliu City and can cover the sky with one hand in the city, during this period, many independent cultivators came here to attend the Three Immortals Taoist Fairy Assembly, so they are not completely under the control of the Xue family.
Cultivators with a cultivation level above the fifth level of Qi Condensation can leave freely even if Yinliu City is blocked.
Among the cultivators who were forced to stay in Yinliu City, the highest level of cultivation was the fourth level of Qi Condensation, and most of them were low-level cultivators at the first or second level of Qi Condensation.
At this moment, all these low-level cultivators were taken to the Xue family's side courtyard, waiting to be investigated more thoroughly by the Xue family.
"The Xue family is really arrogant. They claim that they lost a treasure and want us all to come here for questioning. Who knows if what they said is true or if they have other motives."
"In the world of cultivation, the strong are respected. We are not strong enough, so we can only let the Xue family control us. Unlike some seniors with high cultivation, they have already ignored the Xue family's blockade and left Yinliu City."
"Damn it! One day, when I have achieved great success in my cultivation, I will return here and avenge this humiliation!"
Dozens of wandering cultivators were whispering in the side courtyard of the Xue family. They were surrounded by the cultivators of the Xue family, who surrounded them and treated them coldly, taking advantage of their position to bully them.
The conflict between the Xue family and the independent cultivators has completely erupted and is difficult to resolve.
Just when the wandering cultivators were feeling depressed and even getting more depressed, the head of the Xue family brought the elders of the Xue family into the side courtyard outside the courtyard. As soon as they entered, the pressure from the head of the family's fifth level of Qi Condensation cultivation was released.
In the Qi Condensation Stage, the difference between one level higher in cultivation is like the difference between a small stream and a big river. Although the gap between them is not absolutely insurmountable, it is also an insurmountable mountain in the eyes of ordinary cultivators.
The expressions of the scattered cultivators changed, and they all felt a heavy pressure on their shoulders.
They all looked up and looked at the elders of the Xue family.
But no one dared to speak, and they just hid the humiliation in their eyes.
"My fellow Daoists, my Xue family did not want this to happen. We only hate the thieves who stole our precious tree and destroyed the foundation of our family. Therefore, we have no choice but to use a tough attitude to invite everyone here. I hope you can understand."
The head of the Xue family controls the relationship between the two parties. Although the Tiandu Sect can support the family, he is still unwilling to make the relationship with the independent cultivators too rigid, which will not benefit the family in any way.
"Hmph, they did it. What's the point of apologizing now?" Some people mocked, thinking that the Xue family was just pretending.
"We are only here for the Immortal Lady's Dharma Assembly. We have no idea what treasures your Xue family has, so how can we steal them? Moreover, the Xue family is so powerful and has a firm grip on Yinliu City. Even if we, as independent cultivators, have the intention, we don't have the corresponding strength."
"You are the head of our clan, please do not slander others!" The wandering cultivators began to speak up for themselves.
"How dare you! How dare you speak to my clan leader like that!?" An elder glared at the casual cultivator who was speaking, making a gesture ready to attack at any time. The clan leader's majesty must not be compromised.
Just as the casual cultivator was feeling dissatisfied and was about to continue speaking, an extremely cold aura suddenly descended from the sky, covering everyone in the courtyard. In the June season, everyone felt the chill of varying strengths.
There was also a faint sense of oppression hanging over their heads.
"Who is releasing his cultivation power?!" The Xue family head's expression grew serious. He sensed an unfamiliar aura of cultivation power. "There's actually someone hiding in the dark, and I can't even detect them?"
Moreover, this aura seemed quite powerful to him, and he even had a faint feeling of palpitations.
The monks also reacted one after another, and there was an uproar.
However, before they could find the person who emitted the cultivation power, nor the source of the cold aura, they saw a layer of blood-colored spiritual curtain rising from the ground on all four sides of the Xue family mansion. In an instant, it grew to a height of twenty feet, covering the entire Xue family.
"What did you do!?"
"They actually set up a formation here to deal with us. They really have ulterior motives. Damn it!"
"Xue Family! We, the independent cultivators, have no grudges against you in the past or in the present, so why are you plotting to murder us?"
The wandering cultivators were frightened by this sudden scene and immediately fell into chaos.
Although their cultivation was not high, they had some knowledge and recognized at a glance that the blood-colored spiritual curtain was a formation, a huge formation that was enough to cover the entire Xue family. It was definitely not something that a casual cultivator with low cultivation could set up.
This is the Xue family, so there is only one possibility for the people forming the array.
"Good! Good! Good! I want to see who dares to set up a formation in my Xue family!" The head of the Xue family uttered the word "good" three times in a row, his face extremely gloomy. There was actually an evil person who set up a large formation covering the entire Xue family.
The purpose is to frame the Xue family and deepen the conflict between the Xue family and the independent cultivators.
Or is there something else in mind?
He doesn't know.
However, as long as the person who set up the formation is found, everything will become clear.
The other elders of the Xue family also had very ugly expressions and looked worried.
Even the clan leader did not discover the existence of the formation in advance, let alone them. It was only at this moment that they realized that someone was targeting the Xue family with ill intentions.
I immediately thought of the villain who stole the willow roots.
Just as the Xue family was looking for people to form the battle array, the independent cultivators were already in chaos, running towards the gate of the side courtyard, trying to escape from here.
However, the Xue family cultivators gathered together and stepped forward to block the way of the wandering cultivators.
"My fellow Daoists, the clan leader has not agreed to your departure. Please stay here."
"Something happened beyond our expectations. There are unidentified enemies around. It is extremely dangerous outside the courtyard. Please retreat to avoid any disaster."
An elder of the clan who had reached the third level of Qi Condensation blocked the way of the wandering cultivators, his eyes stern, trying to force them back.
