However, the old man and the young man did not move at all when they heard the footsteps. Instead, a hint of interest appeared on the young man's face.
“Crunch.”
As the door of the ancestral hall opened, Chen Xingzhen walked slowly into the hall and began to worship the sacred tree.
Even though the old man and the young man were standing not far away, Chen Xingzhen seemed not to notice them at all.
While worshiping, Chen Xingzhen did not forget to pray to the sacred tree to bless his family.
Hearing these words of worship, the young man couldn't help but laugh:
"Uncle, these small families are really strange. They want to pray for the totem's blessing without any words. Don't they know that they have to pay as much as they want to get?"
As the young man laughed, a somewhat overbearing consciousness suddenly swept through him, and then the entire Chen family was alarmed, and there were some shouts from the family:
"alert!"
"An enemy has broken into the family!"
Chen Xingzhen, who had just been offering sacrifices, also hurriedly walked out of the ancestral hall.
The young man panicked a little when he heard the noise, but he quickly calmed down after turning around and seeing the old man's calm face.
Not long after, the old man's faint voice came to my ears:
"I'm leaving."
After saying that, the two figures disappeared amid the Chen family's vigilance.
In mid-air, the young man said seriously:
"Uncle, I think there might be something strange here. The Chen family actually discovered your investigation. They are very suspicious. Shouldn't we investigate for another two days?"
The old man burst out laughing:
"Just now I deliberately leaked my aura to see how the Chen family would react?"
The young man paused slightly after hearing this, but there was still confusion in his eyes.
The old man continued:
"This Chen family is too normal, which may not be a good thing. It is also possible that the Chen family's totem is extremely powerful and can conceal my investigation, so I need to reveal some flaws to see the changes."
The young man looked suspicious:
"Uncle, you have already reached the Five Qis Converging to the Origin stage, and you also have the family totem with you. Even if the Chen family totem is very powerful, it can't be hidden from your investigation, right?"
"Fei Peng, you must know that there are always people better than you, and there are always higher powers than you. Don't underestimate these spiritual beings. It's a pity that I haven't reached the state of unity between man and nature, otherwise there would be no need to go through so much trouble."
"Uncle, should we continue to observe?"
The old man looked thoughtful.
Two days later, the old man and the young man left the mass grave mountain with a caravan.
"Uncle, are we going to the next family now?"
"Well, but wait for me here for a while, I will be back soon."
Under the young man's puzzled gaze, the old man disappeared again.
It was not until half a quarter of an hour later that the old man returned and said calmly:
"Okay, let's go."
…
In the ancestral hall, Ji Yang concentrated his consciousness until, with the help of the heart of the spiritual tree, he felt that the figures of the old man and the young man had completely disappeared from his sight, and then he dissipated the state of the dead tree coming back to life.
Dead Trees Come Back to Life: You can expend a certain amount of vitality to find another self in the long river of time.
When the family war broke out, he used this magical power to find a stronger version of himself in time, but at the same time, he could also find a weaker version of himself.
As its condition recovered, the trunk of the locust tree, which was only a few meters long, also began to grow rapidly. In less than a few breaths, it had returned to its original state. The dense locust leaves covered the entire ancestral hall in an instant, and the thick yin energy reappeared around it.
Many souls hiding in the tree trunks also appeared one after another.
But thinking back to the Gongyang family's investigation, even Ji Yang felt a little scared.
Of the two people who came this time, the young man is not to be feared, but the old man is powerful and meticulous, and is the strongest person Ji Yang has ever seen.
This kind of warrior could produce inexplicable sensations in the dark, so much so that Ji Yang didn't even dare to actively use his consciousness to investigate, so as not to attract this person's attention.
Just when he thought the old man had given up, the old man suddenly turned back and wanted to kill him by surprise.
Fortunately, with the heart of the spiritual tree and countless roots buried underground, Ji Yang had always kept track of the whereabouts of the two, so no major accidents occurred.
In order to deal with the Gongyang family's investigation this time, Ji Yang didn't even absorb the power of heaven and earth in the past two days. This loss must be recovered no matter what in the future.
But we managed to get through it in the end. After this incident, the possibility of our family being suspected is much smaller.
However, this investigation also made Ji Yang alert. Even though he had countless magical powers and the ability to deduce, and had occupied the blessed land of Tongqiu Mountain in front of the upper-class families before, these upper-class families were by no means ordinary people.
If the family wants to continue to develop, it still needs to be cautious.
In the family square, Chen Tianjing seemed to have sensed something and without caring about anything else, he hurried towards the ancestral hall.
In the past few days, under the guidance of the sacred tree, the family seemed to be the same as before, but he and the elders were very nervous.
When Chen Tianjing arrived at the ancestral hall and saw the sacred tree restored to its original state, he finally felt at peace.
The sacred tree has recovered, and it seems that the crisis is over.
However, as the golden locust leaves above the sacred tree shone, a new picture quickly entered Chen Tianjing's mind.
The picture shows all the conversations and actions between the old man and the young man after they stepped into the mass grave mountain. The picture disappeared only after the two left.
When Chen Tianjing finished reading it, his expression became even uglier.
It turns out that the family has inadvertently endured the risk of exposure countless times, which is truly a silent and subtle effect.
After learning that the visitor was only a warrior at the Five Qis Converging to Origin realm, Chen Tianjing's expression became even more solemn.
This is not the strongest fighting force of the upper-class family, but for the family, it is comparable to the several genocide wars that had occurred before.
The family's strength is still too weak.
After pondering for a while, Chen Tianjing paid tribute to the sacred tree with gratitude.
If it weren't for the sacred tree, the family would have been destroyed countless times.
Fortunately, his Chen family still has the family sacred tree.
Upon learning that the crisis was over, Chen Tianquan and several other in-the-know Xiantian realm clan members also breathed a sigh of relief. However, the other clan members did not feel much.
Of course, it was also because Chen Tianjing and others did not tell everything, but just asked the tribesmen to be more cautious in their daily lives.
After all, the more people know, the easier it is to reveal flaws.
A few days later, everything returned to normal. Just when Chen Tianjing thought everything was stable, Chen Xuanshe quickly walked into the family hall and reported:
"Chief, several people with mysterious whereabouts came to Mass Burial Hill yesterday. I am a little unsure about what to do, so I came to ask you for your decision."
"Um?"
Chen Tianjing's heart tightened after hearing this. Could it be that the people from Gongyang family have returned again?
However, Chen Tianjing quickly calmed down. The sacred tree did not give any warning, so it should not be the case. However, Chen Tianjing still asked about the whole process in detail.
