Chapter 3734: Someone Targeting

The Second Elder sent someone to investigate the black cat's origins, but found nothing. Now that the Second Elder has died, he no longer cares about the matter and hasn't mentioned it to anyone.

Jiang Yuanhang, who considers himself the family head, is questioning the Second Elder's guards about what happened. Although he and the Second Elder are merely outwardly cordial, the Elder's murder concerns the family's reputation, so he cannot ignore it.

"Are you saying the Second Elder, at the Third Stage of Dong Tian, was killed by a Cave Heaven First Level brat? And he ran into it himself?"

Not only Jiang Yuanhang doubts the guards' words, but everyone else also wears an expression of disbelief.

"Although it sounds truly unbelievable, we dare not utter a single lie!" The few guards also swear oaths.

Jiang Yuanhang looks at them and knows they dare not lie; moreover, with so many people giving the same account, it cannot be that they are all colluding, right?

Ye Liuyun at this moment slips into the Council Hall cradling the black cat. Jiang Yuanhang glances at him but is too lazy to pay attention, since there are pressing matters before him.

He releases a threatening pressure that intimidates the guards, and orders the two Elders on the spot to perform Soul Search on the two guards to verify the situation. The scene becomes rather chaotic, which is perfect for Ye Liuyun to act amidst the disorder.

Because the hall was fairly chaotic, Ye Liuyun's move went even more unnoticed. Even if someone glanced his way and saw the useless Jiang Lan clutching a pet beast, they paid even less attention.

Jiang Yuanhang at this moment feels a surge of frustration; this good‑for‑nothing son comes into the Council Hall still clutching a pet beast, and he wishes he could throw Jiang Lan out.

However, in the current situation he cannot lose his temper; erupting would only draw more attention to Jiang Lan, so he must swallow his anger inwardly.

Just as everyone is discussing how to handle the Second Elder's matter, a Servant reports that three juniors died while cultivating.

"How did they die?" Jiang Yuanhang furrows his brow upon hearing the news.

"They were crushed to death during a gravity test!"

"What?" Everyone in the hall widens their eyes.

A short while later, the bodies are carried into the Grand Hall, and a disciple, with a mournful face, follows in: "Elders, this is not my fault! They asked me to help regulate the pressure, and I adjusted it according to their instructions…"

Before the disciple finishes, a Steward enters: "We've investigated; the gravity test Formation malfunctioned, it has nothing to do with the disciple."

Jiang Yuanhang feels a headache as he listens. Two people died during the afternoon training ground sparring, and now more deaths!

After pondering for a while, he makes a decision: "Let the Grand Elder handle the Second Elder's matter. There was no real conflict between the sides, no need to exacerbate it; just let them save face enough."

Detain the Steward responsible for the disciples' cultivation Formation and equipment, then have someone promptly inspect all Formations and equipment. Everyone may disperse!

Jiang Yuanhang weakly waves his hand, dismissing the crowd.

Ye Liuyun thinks for a moment; after everyone leaves, he steps forward.

"I have no mood to lecture you now, get out!" Jiang Yuanhang, eyes closed, feels Ye Liuyun approaching and immediately pushes him away.

"Um… I wanted to remind father, could it be that someone is deliberately targeting our Jiang family again? Though many events seem coincidental, too many coincidences may indicate a problem!"

Ye Liuyun does not step forward; after speaking, he cradles the black cat and exits the Grand Hall.

The Jiang family's frequent external strongmen, he has already dealt with most of them; now he needs to draw out the strongest batch. Those strongmen usually stay in cultivation, out of Ye Liuyun's reach, so he must use Jiang Yuanhang to summon them.

"Hm?" Jiang Yuanhang is startled by the words, his eyes snap open, and he watches Ye Liuyun's departing back as if pondering.

"His words aren't without reason; today there are too many coincidences! Could it be that my useless son isn't actually useless, just pretending all the time…"

Jiang Yuanhang suddenly feels the aura emitted by Ye Liuyun's back, can

Unlike the previous Jiang Lan, a glimmer of hope flashes in his eyes.

He immediately takes out a Transmission Talisman, uses Transmission Voice to inform the Grand Elder, relaying what Ye Liuyun told him, asking the Grand Elder to pay extra attention during the investigation and covertly dispatch someone within the family to hunt for the insider who tampered with the Formation.

That night, the Jiang family had no major incidents, but in the morning, the relatives of yesterday's deceased caused a disturbance at the training ground; Jiang Yuan went to explain, and was accidentally killed on the training ground.

When the Grand Elder went out to investigate the Second Elder's cause of death, he inexplicably got into an argument midway, the two sides fought, and the Grand Elder was slain on the spot.

When the two corpses were sequentially carried into the Council Hall, Jiang Yuanhang finally fully believed Ye Liuyun's words and immediately began summoning the Jiang family's ancestors and the top tier Martial Cultivators to protect the Jiang family.

Ye Liuyun, as a relative of the deceased, arrived at the scene, watching the strongmen one by one break through their barriers and rush into the Council Hall.

"Jiang Lan's elder brother Jiang Tao turns out to be a Cave Heaven Fourth Level strongman!

The Jiang family has sixteen strongmen surpassing the Third Stage of Dong Tian!

"Is the newcomer the Jiang family's ancestor?"

Ye Liuyun observes these people's situation without showing any emotion.

Until the Jiang family's ancestor is the last to enter the Grand Hall. Jiang Yuanhang immediately rises from his seat and pays his respects to the ancestor.

The Jiang family ancestor looks at the corpses, frowns, and says, "Yuanhang, what exactly happened?"

"Very strange!" Jiang Yuanhang says, first ushering the Jiang family ancestor to the main seat, then recounting the events of the past two days to everyone.

"These coincidental events all occurred within these two days. The dead are not only elite disciples of the family, but also Elders bearing heavy responsibilities.

I suspect someone is targeting our Jiang family, yet we cannot detect any irregularities, so I have invited the ancestor and the numerous strongmen to preside over the situation and safeguard the Jiang family's peace!"

Jiang Yuanhang says respectfully.

"You did well; these matters indeed have something fishy. Yet the mastermind's skill is extremely high, managing to mask all the deaths as accidents. It seems the Jiang family is headed for a calamity!"

The Jiang family ancestor also acknowledges Jiang Yuanhang's conjecture.

Even the many strongmen present think the likelihood of being plotted against is high; otherwise so many incidents couldn't happen within two days.

"All of you should temporarily cease cultivation and stay on alert within the family. Yuanhang, also inform everyone that there is no need for family members to go out."

The ancestor immediately gives instructions to Sun Yuanhang, then begins assigning tasks to the many strongmen, while Ye Liuyun silently notes it in his heart.

These people are too powerful; for some highly vigilant individuals, he dares not act here for fear of being discovered. For example, the Jiang family ancestor, whose Soul is evidently strong at a glance.
