Is this someone sent by Elder Liyang? They might not know others, but since this Xu Yang is a Ten Elites genius, how could they not know?

"How could it be Xu Yang? Didn't he just achieve Minor Success in Gang Qi? Could it be that Elder Liyang really doesn't care about our Yuan family?"

Yuan Yi, who had just comforted his father, was suddenly desperate.

The title of Ten Elites genius is big, but going to Qingfeng Ridge without the cultivation of Major Success in Gang Qi is just sending death.

Is this a signal released by Elder Liyang to the Yuan family? It looks like he still cares about the Yuan family on the surface, but the Yuan family shouldn't push their luck.

So he sent a Ten Elites genius, but Xu Yang, who had no strength, came.

Yuan Gang's expression changed slightly: "What's the use of sending a Xu Yang? To negotiate with Tang Chuan?"

If it really was a negotiation, even if the goods could be taken back, the meaning represented would be different. In the future, everyone would dare to step on the Yuan family. Does the Yuan family have to ask Elder Liyang to send someone to negotiate every time?

What he wanted was to wipe out Qingfeng Ridge with thunderous means, letting others know that they shouldn't provoke the Yuan family in the future, not to negotiate and take the goods back.

"Master, see or not see?"

Seeing that Yuan Gang didn't speak for a long time, the servant asked in a low voice.

Yuan Gang took a deep breath and said: "Prepare tea, and invite Xu Yang in."

No matter what was going on, he couldn't drive people away directly. Let's see Xu Yang first.

Now it's not a matter of Qingfeng Ridge, but a matter of Elder Liyang's attitude towards the Yuan family. If this point is not figured out, what should we do if there is trouble in the future?

After a while, he saw the servant leading a handsome young man in.

"Outer sect disciple of the Profound Heaven Sect, Xu Yang, has met Master Yuan." Xu Yang cupped his hands.

Yuan Gang returned the salute, invited Xu Yang to sit down, ordered the servant to serve tea, and said: "May I ask Little Brother Xu, what did Elder Liyang tell you when he ordered you to go down the mountain?"

Xu Yang didn't drink the tea and shook his head: "I haven't seen Elder Liyang. I was just assigned a mission by the Mission Hall to come to the Yuan family to assist in solving the matter of the goods being robbed."

Haven't seen Elder Liyang?

Yuan Gang and Yuan Yi were both stunned. Elder Liyang really didn't care about the Yuan family anymore, and didn't even tell the person he sent.

Otherwise, if such a thing happened, even if he didn't send a personal disciple to handle it, at the very least he should send an expert with Major Success in Gang Qi. What does it mean to send a Xu Yang with Minor Success in Gang Qi?

Thinking about it again, Yuan Gang said: "I think Little Brother Xu must have offended someone in the outer sect, right?"

As expected of a head of a family, he just said one sentence, and he saw through these things.

Xu Yang nodded: "Master Yuan is amazing. I did indeed offend someone. I wanted to decline this mission, but I couldn't decline it, so I had to bite the bullet and come."

Yuan Gang showed a self-deprecating smile: "It's not that I am very shrewd, but I know that Tang Chuan and others of Qingfeng Ridge are not something you can solve alone. The person who sent you here is probably trying to use the Yuan family's matter to harm you."

He suspected before that Elder Liyang didn't care about the Yuan family, but thinking about it again, if Elder Liyang didn't care, he could just ignore it. Why send someone?

With Elder Liyang's power, sending a disciple with Major Success in Gang Qi and an outer sect disciple with Minor Success in Gang Qi was no different; it was all a matter of one sentence. Among this, I'm afraid someone wanted to make an article about the Yuan family's matter.

"How bold, daring to use my Yuan family's matter to make an article, not afraid of being held accountable by Elder Liyang if it's messed up?" Yuan Yi snorted coldly.

Yuan Gang glanced at him, looked at Xu Yang, and said: "This matter is not something Little Brother Xu can solve, and my Yuan family doesn't want a genius to die in vain. Little Brother Xu, please go back."

Xu Yang shook his head and said: "I don't know anything about how things are. If I go back like this, I'm afraid it won't be easy to explain. Master Yuan, why don't you tell me about the situation of the mountain bandits in Qingfeng Ridge? If it can't be solved, I will have something to say when I go back."

Yuan Gang nodded: "It was my lack of consideration. Five days ago, my Yuan family caravan reached Qingfeng Ridge and was robbed and killed by Tang Chuan's group of mountain bandits. After they robbed the goods, they also killed some of my Yuan family's people.

Finally, they released words for my Yuan family to take three thousand taels of silver to redeem the goods, and in the future, pay the road fee, otherwise, every time they see the Yuan family caravan, they will rob it once."

Xu Yang frowned and said: "What is their strength?"

Yuan Gang said: "Tang Chuan, Lu Lin, and Meng Yuanshu all have Minor Success in Gang Qi cultivation, with dozens of minions, and there should be three or five minions who have just entered the Gang Qi cultivation."

The strength of this group of mountain bandits was about the same as he had expected, neither strong nor weak. With his real strength, killing them all was not a difficult task.

But the strength he showed was only Minor Success in Gang Qi. If he wiped out this group of mountain bandits, I'm afraid Xiao Hua would be alert, and maybe he would guess that the Blazing Blade Guest was him.

"How does Master Yuan want to solve this matter?" Xu Yang said.

Yuan Gang said coldly: "Naturally, I hope to suppress and kill this group of mountain bandits who dare to have ideas about my Yuan family with a strong posture. My Yuan family can do without the goods, but they must die."

The Yuan family cannot compromise. If they compromise this time, everyone on the road will stare at the Yuan family in the future.

Xu Yang pondered secretly, whether to wipe out the mountain bandits of Qingfeng Ridge or go back and say he had no ability to solve this matter.

On one side is the possibility of exposing his strength, provoking Xiao Hua to take action personally, and on the other side is the possibility of offending Elder Liyang, who doesn't have a good temper. It seems that no matter what he does, it is a troublesome thing.

"If I can't solve this matter, what will the Yuan family do?" Xu Yang said.

Yuan Gang said: "Naturally, I will write to Elder Liyang to continue sending people."

"I will find a way to solve this matter."

Xu Yang pondered again and again and decided to take action to handle this matter for the Yuan family. Between offending the elder and the deacon, he chose the deacon.

If Xiao Hua really wanted to take action, he still had a chance to survive. Offending an elder, it would be difficult to want to live.

Xiao Hua chose to harm him in this way, which was obviously also somewhat wary and didn't dare to take action to kill him directly.

As long as he fought for some more time, once he learned to refine the Qi Gathering Pill, he would have the confidence to quickly achieve Major Success in Gang Qi, and even cleanse the marrow.

Once he cleanses the marrow, what if Xiao Hua takes action personally?

"Little Brother Xu has thought it through. If Tang Chuan's three brothers swarm up, you will definitely not be an opponent," Yuan Gang reminded.

Xu Yang smiled bitterly: "Many thanks to Master Yuan for the reminder, but if I can't handle this matter, I will definitely be punished when I go back. If I disturb Elder Liyang twice for this little thing, I think Master Yuan knows the consequences better than I do.

Fighting three with one, although I have no confidence at all, I am still confident that I can protect myself."

Yuan Gang said: "As expected of a Ten Elites genius. In that case, I won't say much more. If Little Brother needs help from my Yuan family, just say it."

He also knew Elder Liyang's temper. The person who used this matter to target Xu Yang also calculated this point, so he arranged the matter on Xu Yang's head.

"Little Brother, don't worry. No matter what the result of your trip is, if anyone dares to use the Yuan family's matter to make an article, I will report the matter truthfully to Elder Liyang, and he will definitely be held accountable."

Yuan Gang's eyes flashed with anger. This matter was also a humiliation to the Yuan family. He also didn't intend to swallow his anger.

Even the deacon of the Profound Heaven Sect dared to use this matter to make an article. No wonder Tang Chuan's group of mountain bandits dared to rob the Yuan family caravan. The mountain bandits had to be cleaned up, and the deacon who used this matter to make an article could not be spared. It just happened to be another object to establish prestige.

Xu Yang cupped his hands and said: "Then many thanks to Master Yuan."

This was exactly the result he wanted. Although Xiao Hua had bad intentions, he said one thing right: this was a matter of showing his face in front of Elder Liyang. If it was handled well, there would also be benefits.

At the very least, for a short period of time, Xiao Hua wouldn't dare to harm him too blatantly.

When he came, he inquired about the relationship between the Yuan family and Elder Liyang, and through a test, he understood that Elder Liyang didn't ignore the Yuan family, but really wanted to stand up for the Yuan family, but the matter was used by Xiao Hua.

"Sorry to trouble Master Yuan to tell me more about the situation of the mountain bandits in Qingfeng Ridge, and arrange for some people to set off with me. After I solve the mountain bandits of Qingfeng Ridge, it will be easy to transport the goods back," Xu Yang said again.

Yuan Gang nodded and immediately ordered Yuan Yi to arrange manpower.

Half an hour later, a caravan stopped in front of the Yuan family mansion.

Yuan Gang personally lifted the curtain, invited Xu Yang into the carriage, and watched Xu Yang leave with the Yuan family caravan.

"Father, do you really believe that he, a martial artist with only Minor Success in Gang Qi, can kill Tang Chuan and the three of them?" Yuan Yi looked at the back of the caravan and said.

Yuan Gang's eyes flashed with a smile: "He is always a Ten Elites genius. Although he just broke through, he still has skills.

It's better if he succeeds, and my Yuan family just happens to establish prestige.

If he fails, it just happens to be an excuse to complain to Elder Liyang. Daring to use my Yuan family's matter to seek personal gain, I want Xiao Hua to eat and walk around."

Whether Xu Yang can wipe out Tang Chuan's group, he doesn't care, as long as Elder Liyang still cares about the Yuan family.

"You go and prepare a gift. If this Xu Yang can wipe out Tang Chuan's group, the Yuan family will fully make friends and help him stand firm in the Profound Heaven Sect."

He also had a scheme to test Xu Yang's potential.

If he can really wipe out the mountain bandits of Qingfeng Ridge alone, the Yuan family needs a new genius to re-establish a relationship with Elder Liyang.

Yuan Yi was shocked: "Do you want to help him join Elder Liyang's sect?"

Yuan Gang smiled: "Why not? Your younger brother is always dead. No matter how much Elder Liyang misses the old feelings, feelings will always fade one day. Only a person who has a relationship with my Yuan family and is also Elder Liyang's disciple can continue to maintain this feeling.

I heard that this child loves alchemy, which is a suitable candidate. If the talent is okay, with my Yuan family's face, Elder Liyang shouldn't refuse."

Yuan Yi shook his head: "How long has he achieved Minor Success in Gang Qi? Tang Chuan's three brothers have been deeply cultivated in this realm for many years. Let alone wiping them out, it's already an amazing achievement to be able to protect himself.

It's said to be a Ten Elites genius, but it's just a backup because the real Ten Elites genius died."

He didn't think Xu Yang could wipe out Tang Chuan and others.

……

The carriage bumped all the way, and after nearly a day, it finally arrived at Qingfeng Ridge.

The carriage stopped, the curtain was lifted, and Xu Yang opened his eyes from closing them.

"Master Xu, we have arrived near Qingfeng Ridge," Yuan Qiang said in a low voice.

He was a branch of the Yuan family and was arranged to bring Xu Yang to Qingfeng Ridge, as well as to transport away the goods robbed from the Yuan family after Xu Yang succeeded.

"You find a place to hide nearby. At most three days, at least one day, I will wipe out these mountain bandits. You will go to the mountain stronghold when you see the signal."

Xu Yang walked down from the carriage and didn't intend to let these people see him killing through Qingfeng Ridge alone.

"The small one understands."

Xu Yang finished his explanation and walked into the mountain forest. After walking for a while, he saw a stronghold built on the hillside.

Several big flags were tied to the cliff, dancing with the wind, with a big "Qing" character written on them.

Qingfeng Stronghold!
