Chapter 392

This year, he thought about avenging his son every moment. Whenever he thought of his son being killed in an unknown place without even finding his bones, his heart felt like it was being stabbed by a knife.

"If I hadn't left, perhaps this kind of thing wouldn't have happened."

Xiao Hua thought of this, and his heart felt a twitch. If he were still in the Profound Heaven Sect, this kind of thing would definitely not have happened.

"It's all that little beast Xu Yang. He deserves to die."

If it weren't for Xu Yang, he wouldn't have been punished to guard Qingshan. If he hadn't gone to Qingshan, how many people would have dared to touch Xiao Chen?

A year passed, and he knew clearly that the possibility of finding the murderer was minimal.

"First return to the sect to report, then go to the Su family to inquire."

Xiao Hua's gaze was cold, and he walked into the Profound Heaven Sect.

"Greetings, Deacon Xiao!"

A few disciples guarding the mountain gate saw Xiao Hua and hurriedly ran out of the pavilion to salute.

Xiao Hua had no intention of paying attention to them, and was too lazy to even nod to put on a show, directly walking past these people and soon disappearing from sight.

Along the way, many outer sect disciples saw him, first surprised, then took the initiative to salute.

Unfortunately, no matter who came forward, they were ignored by Xiao Hua.

"What are you acting for?"

"What a rude deacon, he doesn't even have any manners."

"Wait until the day I become an inner sect disciple, I will definitely make him lower his head and talk to me."

Xiao Hua's attitude immediately drew dissatisfaction from the disciples who greeted him.

Someone laughed, "Don't blame him. If your own son died and you couldn't come back, you would be the same as him."

"Yeah, Deacon Xiao is also miserable. He was punished to guard Qingshan, and then his son, who was about to enter the inner sect, was killed by someone. After a year, he finally managed to come back. Whoever it is, their mood won't be good."

"It's right that his mood isn't good. I heard people say that this mother-killing thing often used his power to extort money when he was in the Task Hall."

As a deacon of the Task Hall, Xiao Hua was very famous among the outer sect disciples. Not long after, the entire outer sect knew that Xiao Hua had guarded Qingshan for a full year and had returned to the Profound Heaven Sect.

"Junior Brother Xu, Xiao Hua is back!"

Xu Yang had just returned from outside when he heard Sun Tao mention Xiao Hua's return.

The smile on his face faded, and he said, "Brother, be careful."

Sun Tao had a bitter face and said, "I was planning to go into seclusion to break through to Major Success in Gang Qi. This mother-killing beast is back. I discussed it with Junior Brother Zhang and the others, and we plan to go to the Yunling Mountain Range tomorrow and come back after reaching Major Success in Gang Qi. You are the one who should be careful."

The outer sect Grand Competition had ended more than three months ago, and his cultivation had also improved a lot, touching the bottleneck of Major Success in Gang Qi.

He originally planned to break through in the sect before going to the Yunling Mountain Range to search for treasure, but seeing this, he had to leave early, fearing that if he stayed in the Profound Heaven Sect, he would be killed by this beast Xiao Hua outside the mountain gate using some excuse.

Xu Yang didn't have the confidence to kill Xiao Hua now, so he had to nod and say, "Brother, don't worry, I won't give him any opportunity. Be careful when you go into the mountains to break through."

The next day, before dawn, Sun Tao and Zhang Yong quietly left the Profound Heaven Sect.

Xu Yang also warned Xu Qing not to come find him unless there was something important, so as not to be noticed by Xiao Hua about their relationship.

He didn't know how much energy a deacon had, but at least he had been an inner sect disciple once, so he could never be underestimated.

The current Xiao Hua had no intention of retaliating against Xu Yang at all. To him, the most important thing was to find the murderer who killed Xiao Chen.

Xiao Chen was killed, and his plan to get on the Su family's thigh was directly ruined. Finding the murderer of his son to take revenge was far more important than retaliating against Xu Yang.

After asking for leave at the Task Hall, he came to the Su family in Qingyang City.

He saw that the Su family, which was prosperous and flourishing in the past, had become dead and deserted.

"What happened?"

Xiao Hua was shocked. How could the Su family become like this?

"Greetings, Master Xiao!"

The gatekeeper of the Su family recognized Xiao Hua and, seeing him appear, hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

"Did Brother Qiming and Su Jie have an accident?"

Seeing Su Jianye, Xiao Hua finally knew why the Su family had become like this.

Su Qiming and Su Jie, these two alchemists, died. The Su family couldn't provide elixirs to their business partners, and those people, for the sake of elixir shares, could only end their cooperation with the Su family and turn to find those forces that could provide them with elixirs.

In just a few months, the Su family's business had shrunk by nearly half. Fortunately, besides Su Qiming and Su Jie, there was one other alchemist; otherwise, it would have been even more miserable.

"Do you know who did it?" Xiao Hua said with murderous intent.

Su Jianye shook his head, "I can't find out. If I knew, the Su family would have wiped out his whole family long ago."

Changing the subject, he said, "Brother Xiao came here to ask about Chen'er, right?"

Xiao Hua nodded. He had no clue who killed Xiao Chen.

The Su family had helped investigate this matter before, and he wanted to come and ask if the Su family had any clues.

Su Jianye shook his head regretfully, telling Xiao Hua that Xiao Chen's matter was the same as Su Qiming's; no bones were found, and there were no useful clues at all.

Just then, Su Man ran over from outside with red eyes and knelt before Xiao Hua, "Daughter-in-law greets Father-in-law."

Hearing this, Su Jianye frowned slightly, somewhat displeased.

His daughter hadn't married Xiao Chen, they were only engaged, so using the term daughter-in-law was not appropriate.

If the Su family were in its prime, even if Xiao Hua were present, he would have had to scold his daughter a few times to pay attention to her wording.

But now that the Su family had suffered a great change, Xiao Hua was no longer someone he could slight at will.

"Good child, get up quickly. That little beast Xiao Chen, how could he bear to leave you alone?"

Xiao Hua was full of relief and his nose felt sour, so he hurriedly got up to help Su Man up.

His son's methods with women were too powerful. An arrogant young lady like Su Man had been made to be devoted to him in just a few months. If nothing had happened, he would have had great prospects in the future.

Unfortunately, he was harmed by that damn beast.

After a while, Su Man's emotions calmed down, and Xiao Hua said, "I heard Chen'er's mother say that on the day Chen'er had the accident, he came to the city to find you. Did you notice anything unusual?"

Su Man shook her head with red eyes, "No."

Xiao Hua frowned deeply and said again, "Nothing? Was he with you at home all day, or did he go out?"

"He went out!" Su Man said, "We went to Cuiwei Tower for a meal, and then he left, and then the accident happened."

"Did you meet any strange people on the way, like fellow disciples?" Xiao Hua said.

Profound Heaven Sect disciples loved to intercept and kill fellow disciples, so he suspected it was related to this. Most of the people who died in the Profound Heaven Sect every year were killed by their own people.

If the accident happened halfway, it was very likely done by people from the Profound Heaven Sect.

Su Man said, "We met Xu Yang of the Ten Elites."

Xu Yang?

Xiao Hua stood up with a swoosh, murderous intent surging, and gritted his teeth, "It was this little beast who harmed my son!"

He had wanted to get rid of Xu Yang, and because of Xu Yang, he was punished to guard Qingshan that day. If Xiao Chen ran into Xu Yang in Qingyang City, he would definitely have thought of killing him to get rid of future trouble.

It must be Xu Yang who killed Xiao Chen!

Su Jianye shook his head and said, "Brother Xiao, calm down. Chen'er was only one step away from marrow cleansing. A year ago, that Xu Yang was only at Minor Success in Gang Qi. Ten of him couldn't harm Chen'er's life."

Su Man had told them about this matter long ago; it couldn't be Xu Yang who killed Xiao Chen.

"It must be him. Even if it's not him, it's related to him!" Xiao Hua's eyes were red.

Su Jianye didn't know about the grudge between Xu Yang and his father and son, but he knew that if they met Xu Yang in Qingyang City, Xiao Chen would never let go of the opportunity to kill Xu Yang.

"Did you and that Xu Yang have a grudge before?" Su Jianye frowned.

He saw Xiao Hua's expression, which looked like a long-standing grudge. ===== CHAPTER 393 =====
