Chapter 204 Stay
Wen Jiayu brought a group of people to the place where Wen Biao and others were hiding. After carefully checking the surroundings, his face turned pale. Although there were no obvious traces left here, after a careful inspection, he found a jade token of a disciple of the Wen family under a tree not far away. It was obviously left behind by the family disciple in a hurry.
Obviously, even Wen Biao, a mid-stage Jindan cultivator, was unable to fight back. So what kind of existence did Wen Biao offend?
Thinking of the strange things in the mountains before, he felt relieved. If they accidentally provoked such a creature, it would explain what happened here, because there were no human traces here. From the traces left here, it can be seen that the attack on the family disciples should have been done by a monster.
After looking around for a while, he noticed something interesting. He even spotted some traces of sword energy not far away. However, he doubted this person could have killed Wen Biao and his group, considering the cultivator who left those sword auras was only at the Foundation Establishment stage at best. He began to imagine the situation: "Could it be that this Foundation Establishment cultivator had discovered some treasure, which Wen Biao and his group had discovered, and then killed him? Unfortunately, he was targeted by a high-level demonic beast, and was wiped out in one fell swoop? Hmm! That's definitely the case."
Wen Jiayu restored the so-called truth on his own, and after finding no clues around, he took his men away.
Leng Youran was waiting at the exit. Since she didn't know where the Wen family was, she waited there to see if any cultivators from the Wen family would show up. As luck would have it, three days later, she finally waited for a group of people. She didn't think anything of these people at first, but when the group of people were about to approach the tree where he was hiding, they said something that caught her attention.
Wen Jiayu led a group of people as they quickly headed out of the mountains. A mid-stage Jindan cultivator behind him said indignantly, "Brother Jiayu, what do you think the patriarch is planning? Some time ago, he had the family disciples conceal their identities and hunt down the Leng family cultivators. If the family wanted to take action against the Leng family, why hasn't there been any movement now?" Wen Jiayu chuckled at this, thinking to himself, "What could it be? Isn't it that our good young master wants to break off the engagement and marry the eldest daughter of the Han family? You know, she's someone the Wen family can't even dream of!" His mind was filled with thoughts, but he said, "Perhaps the Leng family cultivators have done something to anger the family! This isn't something we can decide. Let's hurry back and report to the patriarch!" With that, he strode away without another word. He didn't want to say anything that would provoke a grudge from the young master; their young master was no ordinary person. The cultivator who had spoken knew he couldn't ask any more questions, so he silently followed Wen Jiayu away. The cultivators behind them exchanged glances and followed silently.
When Wen Jiayu walked up to her, Leng Youran controlled the space to fall on his clothes. He wanted to follow them back to the Wen family, and then find a chance to enter their treasure house. However, since it was a second-rate family, they would definitely be on guard, so he decided to look for an opportunity slowly!
Wen Jiayu brought his men back to the Wen family and went straight to the hall. The hall was already full of monks. The head of the Wen family sat in the main seat, with several elders of the family sitting on both sides of him. The young master Wen Hao stood next to his father, looking a little unhappy, obviously something unhappy had just happened.
"Report to the head of the family, I took people to the Juyuan Mountains before, and found this at the location where Wen Biao and his group sent out the signal. However, according to my observation, Wen Biao and his group should have been killed by a monster," the head of the Wen family took the jade token and looked at it. After hearing his narration, he already knew what had happened, so he asked, "What's the situation at the scene?" Wen Jiayu thought carefully before speaking, "We will go in and check it out after the mountains calm down. There are indeed traces of fighting there, but judging from the traces there, Wen Biao and his group should have been fighting against a high-level monster. There are also traces of fighting not far from where they fought. There was a battle there." "Judging from the traces, they should be cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage," the head of the Wen family narrowed his eyes and looked at the people on the ground and asked, "Based on what you see at the scene, what is the situation?" Wen Jiayu carefully recalled the situation in the mountains before speaking carefully, "From what I see at the scene, it should be that a group of cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage found something good somewhere, and were discovered by Wen Biao and others, and then a battle broke out. However, they were unlucky and alarmed the high-level monsters deep in the mountains, so this result happened." The cultivators in the hall nodded when they heard him say this. Only this result was consistent, so they waved their hands and let Wen Jiayu leave.
Leng Youran got down from Wen Jiayu's clothes when he left and hid in the corner of the hall without leaving any trace. At this time, Wen Hao's voice came, "Father, why are things so bad recently? The Leng family is now staying indoors. It is not convenient for us to take action now. Moreover, the Tang family has been very active recently. The current situation is not favorable to us. I think we should wait and see! And I got the news that Miss Han is in seclusion recently and she won't be able to come out for a while." The eldest elder nodded in agreement, "Young Master is right. The Tang family has been very dishonest recently. They have been pretending to be relatives of our Wen family. So we had better wait and see recently, and we should also give the Tang family a good beating." The fifth elder frowned and disagreed with this statement, "I think it is inappropriate to do so. If the Tang family is not honest, then we will let them be honest. We will send people to give the Tang family a beating. It would be best if we can get something from them. How can they be honest without bleeding some money!" For a while, the hall began to discuss. There were elders who preferred to wait and see, and there were also elders who agreed with the fifth elder. Finally, everyone Everyone's eyes fell on the head of the family. Patriarch Wen tilted his head and looked at his son standing aside, wanting to see what he thought, "Hao'er, what do you think about this matter? Tell me what you think." Wen Hao pondered, "The Tang family has been very arrogant recently, especially that old guy who always treats him like his father-in-law. In the past, it was just intentional or unintentional hints, but now he blatantly regards himself as his father-in-law. He really thinks that Wen Hao is so easy to bully." Then he looked up at his father and said coldly, "Father, it's time to give the Tang family a good beating. If we don't let them know that our second-rate family is not something he can control, then since we have to give them a beating, then let them suffer and know that our Wen family is not something he can control. As for the Leng family, let's put it aside for a while. Well! As long as the cultivators of the Leng family come out, we will continue to assassinate them." His words made the cultivators in the hall nod their heads. They agreed with the young master's decision, but who should be responsible for this matter! At this moment, the Fifth Elder spoke up, "Since I'm the one who brought this up, leave it to me! I promise to let the Tang family know that our Wen family isn't so easy to manipulate." The head of the Wen family glanced at his son and saw that he didn't react, so he nodded, "Then I'll leave this matter to the Fifth Elder. But don't go too far. Just teach them a lesson. They still need to contribute to the Leng family's affairs!"
