Chapter 94

Ding Mansion.

Council Hall.

The young Ding Chu Shan sat side by side with his grandfather Ding Bangcheng, his maternal grandfather Lin Zhaonan, and the Badao Sect Master Gong Zhonghou without giving way.

Sitting on their lower sides were the core clan elders of the Ding and Lin clans and the core elders of the Badao Sect.

All of them were Eighth-Rank Great Martial Masters.

"Time has passed for so long, and Zhaomou and Banghong still have no news. It seems they are in bad luck," Ding Bangcheng said with a grave expression.

"I heard that Xu Zhizhong had already returned to Li Cheng a few days ago, but Xu Zhicheng has not appeared yet, and I don't know if he has returned," Lin Zhaonan said.

"Our Three-Clan Alliance sent out two Eighth-Rank Great Martial Masters, and none returned, while the Xu Clan also sent out two, but one has already appeared.

And recently, martial masters who defected to our Three-Clan Alliance have been found dead at home from time to time, which has caused quite a panic. This momentum is not right!" Gong Zhonghou frowned and said.

"Could it be that the old thief Xu Zhiyuan took a risky move, quietly left the city, ambushed the clan elders of our Ding and Lin clans, and then took away a large amount of wealth?

Don't forget, the Ji Clan is a medicinal herb merchant family and must carry many pills. If used well, it can create many experts in a short time. Especially the Ji Clan's Fengming Pill, which is extraordinary!" Ding Clan elder Ding Banghong suddenly remembered his grandson's words on the city wall and opened his mouth after hesitating.

The hall fell silent.

In fact, many people had this guess.

But they always felt that Xu Zhiyuan was already old, his momentum was far from before, and he shouldn't be so risky.

However, their two Eighth-Rank Great Martial Masters had not returned, and on the Xu Clan's side, one had returned.

This is obviously not normal!

The longer the time dragged on, the greater the suspicion in their hearts.

"If Clan Elder Banghong's guess is correct, we must not delay any longer! Xu Zhiyuan is a Grandmaster even if he is old. He keeps thinking of ways to sneak attack and reduce our effective strength, and we have no way to contain him.

If time drags on, it will be a long-term loss, and if Xu Shixiong, that kid, makes another breakthrough and steps into the Grandmaster realm, then if we wait any longer, we will be binding ourselves and missing the opportunity!" Lin Zhaonan pondered.

"That's right, Xu Shixiong is a monster in martial arts cultivation. If we let him grow up, our three clans will completely lose the opportunity!" Gong Zhonghou said in a deep voice.

The atmosphere in the hall became more and more grave.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the lack of cultivation resources, what could a mere Xu Shixiong do even if he grew up?" Ding Chu Shan revealed a trace of disdain when he saw everyone valuing Xu Shixiong so much.

"So, no matter how heavy the losses are, we must take the Xu Clan. Even the Ji Clan hides pills like the Fengming Pill that are useful to immortal cultivators. The Xu Clan has dominated Li Cheng for over a hundred years, and Grandmasters have been born one after another. How could they not have good things?

Especially the Yuncui Mountain, which is strictly guarded by the Xu Clan. After observing for so many years, I have sensed mysterious aura fluctuations similar to Wanluo Mountain three times.

Although the duration was very short, it shows that Yuncui Mountain is very likely to have spirit veins flowing through it. Even if it is just a very small spirit vein, it cannot be compared with Wanluo Mountain.

But to support Chushan's cultivation alone, it is absolutely considerable, and we three clans sit in Li Cheng and can provide other endless resources.

In this way, as long as Chushan succeeds in immortal cultivation, our descendants will have immortal opportunities. What are heavy losses now?" Gong Zhonghou said.

"That's right, as long as Chushan succeeds in immortal cultivation, any losses are worth it!" Ding Bangcheng said in a deep voice.

"Since that's the case, let's start as soon as possible, don't delay any longer, so as not to have long nights and many dreams!" Lin Zhaonan said.

After the meeting that day.

The atmosphere in the areas under the jurisdiction of the three forces suddenly became tense.

People from all sides began to mobilize quietly.

"Hall Master Liang, and all instructors, please move to the Ding Mansion tonight and live with me, waiting for orders at any time!" On this day, Ding Chuyong came to the temporary old house where Liang Jingtang and the others were staying in Wutong Lane and issued a notice.

"Are you preparing to attack the Xu Clan?" Liang Jingtang asked, revealing killing intent.

"Hall Master Liang, this is not something you should ask now. You just need to listen to orders!" Ding Chuyong said, a sneer of disdain that was not easily noticed hooking on the corner of his mouth.

This bunch of idiots, they don't know that the news of their family members being intercepted was leaked by our Ding Clan, and they are still stupidly hating and rushing to kill the Xu Clan to avenge their grievances.

"Yes, Young Master Chuyong!" Liang Jingtang cupped his hands.

"That's fine, remember to move here tonight, don't make a sound. When you arrive at the Ding Mansion, naturally someone will lead you into the mansion." Ding Chuyong nodded, gave a warning, and turned to walk away.

"Cut, a mere Sixth-Rank Great Wu Shi dares to show off in front of Master. If it weren't for the fact that it's not the time to be exposed, I would have punched his head off just now!" Yuchi Xiao shouted, not forgetting to show off his fist.

In a short period of time, he jumped from a Fifth-Rank Great Wu Shi to a Seventh-Rank Great Wu Shi, and Yuchi Xiao's mentality expanded, wishing he could show off everywhere.

As a result, he could only hide in the old house every day, which made him feel even more uncomfortable than walking in the night in brocade clothes.

Watching Yuchi Xiao show off his fist, Zhuo Xingji turned around and returned to his room silently.

He is still just a so-called mere Sixth-Rank!

Liang Jingtang was so angry that he slapped Yuchi Xiao on the back of the head and scolded: "Is the Seventh-Rank realm very amazing? With your showing-off look, you still say you want to hide your cultivation. Can you hide it? If you have time, learn more from Daoming!"

After speaking, Liang Jingtang turned around and returned to his room.

"Daoming, where did I say something wrong! Besides, isn't Master also at the Seventh-Rank realm? And didn't Master say the day before yesterday that after taking Li Cheng, I don't need to hide my cultivation at all?" Yuchi Xiao rubbed the back of his head and looked at Xia Daoming with quite a bit of grievance.

"Senior Brother, emotional intelligence!" Xia Daoming patted Yuchi Xiao's shoulder.

"Emotional intelligence?" Yuchi Xiao still didn't understand.

A few days later.

Xu Clan, backyard leaning against Yuncui Mountain.

Xu Zhiyuan walked back and forth with a gloomy face, an incomparably terrifying aura emanating from his body, making the two young women who were kneeling in the inner courtyard and standing on the side tremble with fear, not even daring to breathe loudly.

"Four days, actually still haven't returned! Are you sure Shixiong didn't tell you where he was going that day?" Xu Zhiyuan stopped suddenly, his gaze staring at the maid kneeling in front of him like a knife.

"The maid is sure!" The maid replied.

"Old, Old Master, the maid suddenly remembered that a few days ago, when Young Master Shixiong came to find you, the maid privately mentioned to him that her father and cousin were killed, while the murderer, Old Thief Liang and others, were still safe and sound and living well.

Could, could it be that Young Master Shixiong heard this and went out that night to kill them to avenge my Shi Clan? But, but the maid specially sent people to inquire about it these two days, and Old Thief Liang and others are still living well," the woman standing on the side said tremblingly with a pale face.

"You are talking about the Liang kid from the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall. The old man did hear Shixiong mention it a few days ago, saying that he sent a troop to intercept and kill the family members of the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall's faction, and as a result, until now..." Xu Zhiyuan said, and as he spoke, he seemed to remember something, suddenly changed his face, and walked back and forth in the backyard again.

"Let the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall people kill the family members of the women around the old man, and deliberately leak the news to let my Xu Clan people intercept and kill their family members, and as a result, the Xu Clan people didn't return one.

If I were the person who has been secretly assassinating many martial masters recently, then it is very likely that I would find the Qianjiao Martial Arts Hall people to attack, to vent the hatred in my heart! Then, old guys like Ding Bangcheng could set up an ambush in advance!"

Thinking of this, Xu Zhiyuan's expression had become extremely ugly.

Just at this time, a tall and powerful man in his sixties walked in with a grave expression.
