"Great, the family finally survived!"
"Master Shenshu must have anticipated this!"
"Fortunately, we have not been exposed, otherwise after this incident, our tribe will surely be feared by all tribes."
In the underworld, there were cheers and excitement from many tribesmen.
But there was only a figure in the distance who remained silent. This was Chen Qingyu who had already entered the Netherworld. After the death of the leader of the Tiandi Alliance, the constraints on his body were released, but due to the serious loss of his own Yin energy, he quickly returned to the Netherworld.
Although he was still happy about his family's survival, Chen Qingyu quickly turned his attention to the many new souls in the underworld.
Many of these souls are family members, but even more are from other families and even warriors from the Tiandi Alliance.
After all, this battle takes place on the family territory. Once the warriors from both sides die, their souls will automatically be absorbed by the underworld.
Chen Qingyu's figure swam in the underworld, and his eyes swept over these souls one by one.
Within the field of vision, there are several solid souls, all of which are souls in the state of concentration. Among them are elders of the Heaven and Earth Alliance, as well as warriors in the state of concentration from various families.
But Chen Qingyu's gaze did not stop, but continued to look around.
When Chen Qingyu returned to the starting point again, Chen Changming had approached without knowing when, and said with a frown:
"Still haven't found it?"
Chen Qingyu shook his head slightly.
…
In the family ancestral hall, Chen Tianjing looked at the bare family sacred tree in front of him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.
During the previous battle, everyone could clearly sense the weakening of the family sacred tree, but now he did not feel the low aura of the family sacred tree.
Just when Chen Tianjing wanted to inquire about the current condition of the family sacred tree through prayer, several figures quickly appeared around him.
"Qingyu, Great Uncle Changming, Uncle Xingzhen, is the Netherworld all right?"
Looking at the two people who appeared and the unharmed Chen Qingyu, Chen Tianjing was delighted and immediately asked about the situation in the underworld.
"The soul tribe members did not participate in the battle this time, and there was nothing unusual in the Netherworld."
After hearing the reply, Chen Tianjing was relieved and said thankfully:
"Fortunately, the Southern Xinjiang family intervened, otherwise the family would have had difficulty surviving..."
As Chen Tianjing was speaking, he suddenly discovered that Chen Changming and Chen Xingzhen, who had escaped from the family's danger, had no joy on their faces, but instead had more solemn expressions.
This made Chen Tianjing wonder:
"Uncle, what happened in the underworld? Or did I do something wrong? Please give me some advice."
Chen Changming shook his head:
"Everything is fine in the Netherworld, nothing unusual, and you handled it without any problems. However, there is one less soul in the Netherworld this time."
Hearing this, Chen Tianjing, who had just looked solemn, felt relieved.
He thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect it was just a missing soul. Before Chen Tianjing could ask, Chen Xingzhen on the side spoke up:
"What's missing is the soul of the leader of the Tiandi Alliance!"
As soon as these words were spoken, Chen Tianjing's expression froze for a moment, and after some deep thought, Chen Tianjing's face became much more serious.
If other souls were missing, it wouldn't be a big deal, but the only thing missing was the soul of the leader of the Tiandi Alliance.
Moreover, the leader of the Tiandi Alliance was personally killed by the old man from the aristocratic family in front of everyone's eyes. Many people from the family could confirm this, and Chen Tianjing also witnessed it with his own eyes.
But since he was dead, why was there no soul appearing?
"Perhaps it is because the warriors in the Heaven and Earth Profound Realm are too powerful, and even if they die, their souls will not be absorbed by the Netherworld?"
After some thought, Chen Tianjing said slowly.
After all, the family's underworld has never absorbed souls of this realm, and the souls of warriors in the Concentrated Spirit Realm are already powerful, and after death, they still have their own memories, so it is not certain that they can escape the attraction of the underworld.
But after Chen Tianjing finished speaking, Chen Qingyu shook his head and denied it:
"The Netherworld is extremely special and closely related to the family's sacred tree. Even with my strength, it is difficult to escape the attraction of the Netherworld. Even if a warrior in the Heaven and Earth Profound Realm is powerful, after his death, his soul will definitely not be able to escape the attraction of the Netherworld."
Seeing Chen Qingyu so sure, the last bit of hope in Chen Tianjing's heart disappeared.
Since this is not the reason, then it can only be another reason, that is,
The leader of the Tiandi Alliance did not die, otherwise his soul would not be lost.
But this man's death happened in full view of everyone, and it was the old man from a noble family of the same realm who did it personally. Even if the leader of the Tiandi Alliance had unparalleled means and could hide it from the warriors in the Condensation Realm of various clans present, it stands to reason that he could never hide it from the old man from a noble family who was much stronger than the leader and had gained absolute advantage in a short period of time.
unless……
The leader of the Tiandi Alliance was familiar with the old man from the aristocratic family, and even the leader was from a noble family himself.
After getting this speculation, Chen Tianjing's face became extremely ugly.
This inference is even more shocking than the fact that the leader of the Tiandi Alliance escaped from under everyone's noses.
Seeing that Chen Tianjing had figured out the key, Chen Changming spoke again:
"This is exactly what I'm worried about. When my family was facing the danger of extinction, the sacred tree suddenly sent me a message, telling me not to send anyone out to fight. This shows that perhaps the sacred tree had anticipated this, otherwise it would not have let us lie dormant."
Faced with the many pieces of evidence before him, even if Chen Tianjing was unwilling to admit it, it seemed that the facts were just as several people had speculated.
The Tiandi Alliance has always been in collusion with the aristocratic families!
"If this is true, what is the point of the noble families doing this? If the noble families do not take action, wouldn't the people of all clans today also be doomed to die?"
For a moment, several people in the ancestral hall fell into deep thought.
But soon, Chen Qingyu said:
"In this case, why not interrogate the elders of the Tiandi League and the three people from the aristocratic families? Perhaps we can get the answer from them."
The three people from the noble families mentioned by Chen Qingyu were none other than Baili Shouyue and the other two whom Chen Qinghe had brought back from the secret realm.
Considering that the three were from aristocratic families, and the family had many doubts about the hidden aristocratic family in southern Xinjiang, after Chen Qinghe brought the three back, the family did not rush to liberate the souls of the three, but hid them among the locust leaves.
Now is a good time to ask these three people.
