Chapter 349

Under the autumn rain, the sky was gloomy.

The carriage carrying everyone left Shengjing, then traveled north along the Central State official road, passing through several major cities in Central State.

After the corpse tide attack, these cities all turned into ruins, and began to be repaired after the disaster.

By now, their general shape already had its original appearance, but the atmosphere in the city was heavy, and the air pressure was low.

This was mainly because of the infighting and snatching among the families, each guarding their own camp, leading to confrontation with each other, and the atmosphere was eerie.

It was like a stack of blocks piled high, originally piled up messily to maintain a clever balance, calm and stable.

But with the Li family being wiped out, plus other families being destroyed in the disaster, this balance was completely broken.

Now all families want to profit, so naturally they will involuntarily begin to draw swords.

"After the disaster, the Li family was visited by almost all the Central State families, during which there were several fights, and the Li family's ancestral property hasn't been divided clean until now. From this, it can be seen how deep the foundation of a thousand-year-old family is."

Cao Jingsong said in a low voice.

"When a whale falls, everything lives." Seeing Ji You gave an appropriate metaphor.

"What is a whale?"

"A big fish in the sea, huge in size, whose dead body is enough to support an entire ecosystem."

"This metaphor is very appropriate."

The air pressure in the city was low, the rain outside the window was falling, plus the gloomy sky, this time was very suitable for a nap.

At this time, except for Cao Jingsong and Seeing Ji You, everyone else was sleeping in the carriage.

Ding Yao slept on the opposite side of Seeing Ji You, her snow-white feet almost stretching into Seeing Ji You's arms.

And on the other side, Lu Qingqiu was also curled up in the corner of the carriage, but her apricot eyes were half-open, staring at Ding Yao and Zhuo Wanqiu for observation.

There is no doubt that this is the person who had sought her out before the New Year last year, asking her many questions at that time, such as big or not, painful or not.

That kind of serious and earnest posture was like a personal maid of the main wife's house.

The Lu sisters had always believed that Yuan Caiwei was the main wife, and had invited her many times during the period, wanting to get on good terms with her in advance, but she was very sure that these two girls were not people around Yuan Caiwei.

And the Pill Sect daughter has a gentle personality, so she shouldn't have trained such a person with pride around her.

Rumble—

The carriage continued to move. Cao Jingsong still maintained the posture of lifting the curtain to look outside, and saw the familiar city from afar: "To the south is Rulong's clan land, now it seems to be occupied by the Sun family."

Seeing Ji You raised his eyes: "Sun family?"

"A small family in Central State, not even as good as the Bai family. Such families don't have the ability to fight for the foundation of those destroyed families, so they can only pick up some leftovers. The Sun family has many people, so they wanted the Bai family's clan land."

"Small families have more people?"

Cao Jingsong nodded: "For families like this, the opportunity to climb upward is to continuously give birth, hoping that the family can give birth to some talented children to move toward a revival, while thousand-year-old families control reproduction consciously because of internal fighting."

Seeing Ji You lifted the curtain and poked his head out, handing a piece of broken silver to the coachman in front: "Detour ahead, walk on the northeast side of Linyuan City."

"Okay, guest."

"Thank you."

Cao Jingsong looked at him sitting back at this time, looked at each other silently, and had some numbers in his heart.

The Bai family is in Linyuan City, the rebellious disciple intends to go to the Bai family.

Going to the Bai family at this time is naturally not to congratulate the Sun family on getting a large piece of land; that is probably to help Bai Rulong take back the clan land.

Old Cao felt that he had captured the rebellious disciple's brain circuit, and touched the long sword beside him gently.

After entering the Responding to Heaven Realm, his strength increased greatly, and he hadn't had a chance to make a move until now, so the Dao Sword in his hand was already a bit impatient.

The carriage traveled north and soon arrived at Linyuan City.

Just like when Seeing Ji You left from here, it was still a ruin.

The two looked out through the carriage window, and the Bai family's clan land soon entered their eyes.

Looking from afar, the courtyard was already a ruin, and there were young disciples cleaning up broken bricks.

The courtyard wall and gate tower in the southwest corner had been rebuilt, and the original collapsed front hall was also under repair.

In the rain, there was a temporary wooden shed on the west side of the rockery in the courtyard, where thirteen people sat, drinking and eating meat while staring at the progress of the project.

These people all had spiritual energy fluctuations around them. The strongest one was at the initial Realm of Merging with the Dao, already looking middle-aged, while the others were slightly younger. A small part were at the Realm of Profound Understanding, and the rest were all at the Lower Three Realms completion cultivation.

"Under the shed should be the Sun family. You don't need to make a move in a while, the teacher alone is enough."

"What to do by making a move?"

"?"

Cao Jingsong frowned slightly: "Aren't we here to help Rulong take back the clan land?"

Seeing Ji You curled his legs: "Bai Rulong's Dao heart is out of control now, and he probably can't stay in his old home. Besides, he doesn't have a cent on him. Even if you grab it back for him, what can he do? Isn't he still guarding a ruin."

"Then why did we make a special detour to come here?"

"Look at the progress of the project, wait for them to repair it and then talk."

"???"

Cao Jingsong was stunned for a moment, thinking to himself, wait for the Sun family to repair the house and then grab it? Damn, the teacher really still can't keep up with your brain circuit.

Seeing Ji You looked out along the carriage window: "Look at these selfless people, how kind. Thinking of his diligent help, I feel that even their faces have become much kinder."

"It has to be you..."

"Go, go see the Du family."

"?"

Seeing Ji You pointed to the place further north: "I went to the Du family when I came to save Rulong, it should be not far ahead."

Cao Jingsong remained silent for a long time and opened his eyes wide: "You also want to inspect the Du family's project?"

"Is it not allowed?"

"What relationship does Du Zhu have with you?"

"I entered the academy in the same year as Du Zhu, and we were classmates for five years. Although there was constant friction in the early stage, we gradually cherished each other in the subsequent competitions, opened our hearts to each other for several years, and were as close as brothers. This matter is known to everyone in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan."

Seeing Ji You revealed a touch of melancholy: "Now the Du family has fallen into an irreparable situation because of a trace of greed, the race has perished, but whether as a classmate or a brother, Ji has the responsibility to protect their clan land, and will not hesitate even if he dies."

Cao Jingsong opened his mouth, and only "damn" remained in his mouth.

God damn close as brothers, the fiercest ones who called "private cultivator from the countryside" five years ago were that batch of Du Zhu.

In short, now that there is no proof, it's your turn to make a fortune.

"It's a pity that the Li family is too far, otherwise I could have gone to see it on the way."

"The Li family doesn't have anyone in the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan." Cao Jingsong couldn't help but remind him.

Seeing Ji You waved his hand after hearing this: "No problem, I can share my made-up story at any time."

Cao Jingsong's beard was tilted: "The Du family and the Bai family are easy to talk about, but this Li family is different. The Li family has countless in-law families. Even if you make up a dry relative, how can it be closer than them? This idea of yours won't work."

"No, they don't dare."

"?"

"The Li family is listed as the main culprit for causing chaos in the world, but whether there was any assistance from other close families, the six great Immortal Sects don't know. In principle, these in-law families are all suspected. At this time, what they are most anxious about is to draw a line with them, and they absolutely don't dare to use this as a reason, but I am different."

Seeing Ji You looked at Cao Jingsong calmly: "I cut off the Heavenly Dao sacrifice."

Hearing this, Cao Jingsong understood instantly.

Correct, whether the Heavenly Dao chaos was only caused by those families listed is not yet determined, and their in-law families are naturally suspected.

Even if someone is on good terms with the Li family, or even has blood ties, they absolutely don't dare to speak out in order to draw a line.

But Seeing Ji You is different. Even if he said the Li family ancestor was his dry father, no one would suspect him because of this.

Because in the end, it was he who cut off the Heavenly Dao sacrifice, made the holy artifact revive, and stopped the chaos.

"It's just a pity for my close friend Chu He..."

"???"

"Chu He was warm-hearted and treated people generously, but was used by others in this disaster. As his dry father, I should handle his funeral, it's just a pity that Youzhou is now occupied by the barbarian race, and it's difficult for me to protect that Chu City for him."

"Chu He is truly lucky to have you as a dry father."

As Cao Jingsong was speaking, he suddenly saw a touch of gold rise in Seeing Ji You's eyes, as if he had sensed something, so after a slight stun, he also spread his spiritual sense.

"There is a battle?"

Seeing Ji You nodded: "And there is a Responding to Heaven Realm participating."

"With such a high-realm powerhouse present, it seems it's still for the Li family's inheritance. Those handed-down secret treasures are now ownerless and have been fought over continuously. It is said that the Liu family in Central State obtained a handed-down secret technique of the Li family before and brought it home to hide for more than a month, but it was still broken into and snatched away."

Cao Jingsong had just finished speaking when he felt a chill hit his face, and saw Seeing Ji You had disappeared from the carriage.

After being stunned for a moment, Old Cao couldn't help but smack his lips, thinking to himself that he should still be cautious with his wording in the future.

His rebellious disciple couldn't even listen to the four words "handed-down secret treasure."
