Listening to the requests of several elders, Shi Chenghong did not rush to give orders, but instead looked worried:
"Have the elders ever thought about why the Zhou family was destroyed?"
"Being able to destroy a medium-sized family before the family has even received the news is definitely not something an ordinary family can do. There may be some hidden secrets that we don't know about."
After hearing these analyses, the minds of several elders who were originally a little excited quickly became clear.
They only see the immediate benefits but ignore the potential risks.
The only family that could eliminate the Zhou family overnight was a stronger and superior family.
Their Shi family is no match for the Zhou family, let alone those families with stronger strength. If they don't investigate why the Zhou family was destroyed, the family may be caught in an invisible vortex.
If you are not careful, the family will face a devastating disaster.
Without the protection of the Zhou family, the Chen family is no longer a threat. The natural blood spring is there, and there is no need to worry about losing it. But precisely because of this, the family needs to be more cautious.
Seeing several elders lost in thought, Shi Chenghong smiled slightly:
"It seems that you have thought it through. As for the Chen family, they won't be able to stay for long."
"Chengqiu, take a few more people with you to Yunmeng City to investigate the situation. Find out why the Zhou family was destroyed and understand the whole story clearly."
"Cheng Yu, you and the elder Cheng Hou should go to the mass grave again to find out the situation of the Chen family, but you can only watch from a distance and are not allowed to get close..."
"Cheng Yi, you need to keep an eye on the Xie family recently. Although the family is not afraid of the Xie family now, at the critical moment, there is no guarantee that the Xie family will intervene. We must be on guard!"
"good."
Several elders agreed and immediately prepared to set off.
After several elders left, Shi Chenghong slowly sat down and thought deeply.
He was able to become the head of the Shi family because of his overall view. Although he might be a little cautious on weekdays, he would have the courage to fight to the death at critical moments.
But the family situation is different now. There is a martial artist in the Qi Control Realm in the family. The family can completely return to its previous rhythm and develop slowly without having to rush.
With the family's strength, it would only take a few days to investigate the situation. During these days, even if the Chen family wanted to run away, they couldn't run far.
Only by investigating thoroughly can we avoid future troubles.
…
"The Zhou family was destroyed?"
In the Xie family hall, Xie Yanmiao couldn't help but ask again.
"Yes, clan leader, we just received news this morning. According to the news, the annihilation of the Zhou family seems to be related to the Gongyang family."
Xie Yanmiao fell silent after hearing this. His family had developed very well in Yunmeng City, so the information he received was more comprehensive.
However, when he heard the Gongyang family, Xie Yanmiao was still shocked.
The Gongyang family is a big family, and it is also a level that the family cannot reach now. However, the family is well-informed in this regard, so they know this name.
But the Gongyang family is located in Yelang County in southern Xinjiang, quite far away from Yunmeng City. Logically speaking, the two major families should not be involved.
But now the destruction of the Zhou family is a fact. Even though there are many doubts, they are not the focus at the moment.
Thinking of this, Xie Yanmiao hurriedly asked the tribesmen in front of him:
"Where are those Zhou family members who came here before? Where are they now?"
"To the tribe leader, those people said they were out for fun two days ago and have not returned yet."
hiss!
Hearing this, Xie Yanmiao felt a chill in his heart and said hurriedly:
"Quickly go and gather the elders of the family, tell them that the family is in danger, and ask them to come to the main hall to discuss!"
"Also, go inform Brother Yanmo and ask him to go there in person to retrieve those Zhou family members."
Seeing that the head of the family looked so serious, the clan members below also ran out without stopping.
After doing all this, Xie Yanmiao still couldn't calm down.
Before this, he was still happy about the alliance between his family and the Zhou family. After all, the family had developed well in Yunmeng City, and being able to form an alliance with the Zhou family would be very helpful to the development of the family.
When the Zhou family sent several clansmen over, he was quite happy, thinking that this was a sign of respect from the Zhou family. After a period of time, he could use the Zhou family's people to eliminate the Shi family and then become the only dominant force in Yong'an City.
But now it seems that the reason why the Zhou family agreed and sent their clansmen here was not to form an alliance with the family, but because they had already known the current outcome and came here to seek refuge with the help of the family.
In other words, the family was just a cover used by the Zhou family to confuse the Gongyang family and buy more time for the Zhou family members.
Although he was filled with endless anger, as things had come to this point, he could only keep it to himself.
Those who can develop into upper-class families are all ruthless and cruel. Since they have eliminated the Zhou family, there will definitely be no future troubles. This is also the lesson left by many families in history, and many families have done a good job.
If he remembered correctly, the few family members who came last time were the direct descendants of the Zhou family and the core figures of the Zhou family.
I thought the Zhou family favored me, but I didn't expect that it would become the death warrant of the family.
If the Gongyang family knew that the Xie family had dealings with the Zhou family, the whole family would be in danger.
The most urgent task is to quickly find those Zhou family members who have left the family. Otherwise, when the Gongyang family comes to inquire and the family cannot hand over the people, the family will be in trouble.
After a while, a dozen family elders who learned the news rushed to the hall.
The next moment, the door of the hall was closed, and the voices of many elders discussing were heard from the hall.
…
The night is as dark as ink and dotted with stars.
In the family ancestral hall, a lush locust tree was flickering with a faint fluorescent light.
Facing the bright moon above his head and the walls around him, Ji Yang sighed softly in his heart.
The family’s new wall is a bit high. Although it looks much safer, the scenery is much worse. It seems that he needs to grow taller.
But the next moment, Ji Yang's consciousness quickly gathered, and he said to himself:
“Finally it’s here!”
In Ji Yang's sight, a vague soul with a confused look on its face floated over from not far away.
This man had a handsome face and extraordinary appearance. Even though he was just an unconscious soul, he still had a noble aura.
This soul is Zhou Huaian.
After yesterday's battle, he used some kind of combat technique to self-destruct and died, but it was only his body that blew up, not his soul.
Unfortunately, Ji Yang's roots have not yet extended to the bottom of the place where the few people are fighting, so he is unable to summon the soul directly. He can only rely on his own characteristics and rich yin energy to attract it.
Fortunately, its body destroyed itself and there was no descendant to set up a spirit tablet for it, so it would just float around and would soon be attracted here.
If its soul is allowed to wander, it will become a remnant soul in a few decades.
Zhou Huaian was an outer Gang realm warrior during his lifetime and had considerable strength. Even his soul was exceptionally solid, even better than Chen Changming's. It seemed like he could probably hold on a little longer.
