Chapter 263 Visiting the Hu Mansion
"What? Master Jie Nu is dead?"
A hint of shock also appeared in Fang Zijian's eyes.
That Master Jie Anger was at least in the Nascent Soul stage, so how could he suddenly die?
Could it be those evil shadows who did it? "From what I can see now, the situation in Xiaoxue City is probably not as optimistic as we imagined." Song Baiyi said.
"The key is that I don't know where to start now." Fang Zijian had a headache.
I originally thought that I only needed to find out the information related to Yulong Lake, but I didn't expect that in Xiaoxue City beside Yulong Lake, there was such a terrifying crisis hidden in it.
Fang Zijian even suspected that if they had gone to Yulong Lake to fight last night, they might have encountered more evil shadows.
This mission is becoming more and more difficult!
"Two immortal masters, do you want to ask about the evil shadow?"
At this time, Grandma Wu walked over slowly, holding a bowl of hot porridge in her hand, which was obviously prepared for Fang Zijian.
However, what concerned them more was what Grandma Wu said.
"Mrs. Wu, do you know about the evil shadow?" Fang Zijian asked.
"I do know something about the evil shadows, but I don't know how they appeared. You know, Xiaoxue City was still fine a week ago, until the Hu family went to Yulong Lake a few days ago, and then these evil shadows appeared." said Grandma Wu.
"Hu family?" Fang Zijian frowned slightly.
The person who had been following them here last night was also from the Hu family.
And from what Manager Hu said, it seemed that the Master of Avoiding Anger also had a deep connection with the Hu family.
It can be said that the Hu family is probably the largest force in the entire Xiaoxue City.
"What Grandma Wu means is that the matter of Xie Ying is related to them?" Fang Zijian asked.
"I don't know either, but the evil shadow is a monster in the legend, transformed from human souls and resentment. After the Hu family went to Yulong Lake that time, there were hundreds of people who went, but only dozens came back. So many people in the city suspected that the Hu family had angered the lake god who lived in Yulong Lake." Grandma Wu said again.
Lake God?
After hearing this, Fang Zijian felt that these rumors were becoming more and more outrageous.
However, since this evil shadow is just a legend, its appearance in Xiaoxue City is definitely not for no reason.
From the information I got from Grandma Wu, I did feel that there was something wrong with the Hu family.
Maybe they should really start with the Hu family.
"I wonder if Aunt Wu could tell me the location of the Hu family?" Fang Zijian asked.
"Haha, to find the Hu family's location, just go out along the main road and walk to the end." Grandma Wu said with a smile.
"Thank you, Mrs. Wu, for telling me." Fang Zijian nodded, stood up and prepared to take action.
"Hey! Master, there is no need to be so anxious. It won't be too late to drink the hot porridge first before leaving." Grandma Wu advised.
"Okay!" Fang Zijian nodded and drank a bowl of hot porridge.
…
After leaving the inn, Fang Zijian and Song Baiyi walked in the direction that Grandma Wu said.
According to what Grandma Wu said, just follow the main road and you will find the Hu family.
As expected.
Not long after walking, the two arrived at a mansion.
The entire mansion in front of us almost blocked half of Xiaoxue City, and the area it occupied was also one-fourth of the entire Xiaoxue City.
For a family mansion, this scale is too big. Even some family forces close to the royal family in Zhongdao Province may not have such a large mansion structure.
Especially the gate of the mansion at the end of the main road, it was as if this main road was a corridor opened for his family, very luxurious! "This Hu family is really high-profile." Fang Zijian murmured. "Let's go and ask some questions."
"Senior Brother Fang, I think we shouldn't just look for clues in the Hu family regarding the evil shadow incident last night." Song Baiyi said in a low voice.
"Oh? What do you mean?" Fang Zijian asked.
"I think we should start not only with the Hu family, but also with the common people in the city. What the Hu family said is only one-sided, and we should combine the opinions of other people to verify it before we can know the truth." Song Baiyi said.
Hearing this, Fang Zijian also nodded slightly.
If it is true as Wu Po said, many people from the Hu family died when they went to Yulong Lake, and the Hu family deliberately concealed the matter, they might not tell the truth.
"That's great. I'll go to the Hu family, and you collect some clues in the city and return to the inn to sort out the information before sunset." Fang Zijian said in a deep voice.
"Okay." Song Baiyi nodded.
After saying that, Song Baiyi turned around and left.
Fang Zijian gathered some of his thoughts, slowly walked to the door of the Hu residence and knocked on it.
“Who is it?”
As soon as I knocked on the door, an impatient voice came from inside.
"My name is Lin Jian. I'm a good friend of Master Jie Ru, and I want to visit the head of the Hu family." Fang Zijian said calmly.
Hearing this, the guards in the mansion immediately opened the door and went out to greet him with humble expressions on their faces.
"So you are Master Jie Ru's friend. Please come in, please come in!" The guard no longer had the impatience he had before, and his tone was full of humility.
Fang Zijian didn't say much and strode towards the mansion gate with the guards.
With the reputation of being the master of anger control, Fang Zijian encountered no obstacles in the mansion.
From this we can see that Master Jie Anger has a very high status in the Hu family.
At this time, the guards took Fang Zijian to a main courtyard in the center of the mansion.
"Sir, I can only take you here. The master is inside, and generally no outsiders are allowed to enter except the personal guards. You can only go there on your own." The guard explained.
"It's okay, you can go down." Fang Zijian waved his hand and said.
After saying that, Fang Zijian casually threw out some gold coins.
After receiving the gold coins, the guard showed a look of joy on his face and nodded continuously.
"Okay! I'll go down first!"
After saying that, the guard immediately ran outside.
After all, Fang Zijian was also a casual cultivator and was well aware of some worldly principles.
Looking at the main courtyard in front of him, Fang Zijian walked inside slowly.
But this exit is not through the main entrance.
Instead, he leaped up from the doorway, soared into the sky, and instantly arrived at the largest hall in the main courtyard.
"It looks like this is it." Fang Zijian looked at the hall in front of him.
There are dozens of steps below the main hall, and the stone railings on both sides are more than ten meters apart.
Just standing below and looking up, a feeling of majestic atmosphere arises spontaneously!
It's hard to imagine.
Such a magnificent building actually exists in such a remote small town.
Thinking of this, Fang Zijian swaggered towards the main hall, and no one noticed his arrival.
at the same time.
In the main hall.
The head of the Hu family, Hu Tianpeng, paced back and forth in front of the main seat, his face full of anxiety.
Moreover, the dozen or so elders sitting below also looked troubled.
"Everyone, there have been many rumors about the evil shadow in Xiaoxue City recently, and just this morning, the head of Master Jie Nu was placed in front of our Hu Mansion!"
"Everyone, tell me, what should we do now?"
Hu Tianpeng's face looked extremely ugly.
When these words were spoken, even all the elders below were filled with horror.
