Xu Sanniang is dead!
In this tragic situation that almost shook the entire cultivation world of Yuzhou, because Xu Sanniang was protecting a few of her clan’s disciples, she was drawn into a chaotic battle. She was seriously injured in the chaos, and was finally killed by a Yu Clan cultivator whose eyes were bloodshot.
In the Banyan Mountain’s opening ceremony, the Xu family originally did not have the qualifications, but the Yang family, as a new rising Prominent Class family, was only given seven slots, which made them one of the lesser in the several Prominent Class families. Firstly, because the Yang family was, after all, a newcomer, and secondly, because of the relationship between Yang Junshan and Spiritual Master Chen Ji, it also contained hints from the county magistrate.
It was precisely because Yang Tiangang understood this hint, adding Yang Junshan’s reminder, it was also because there were not many children of Yang family in these two years. It was also because two years ago, during the process of exterminating the locust, Yang family had obtained more than thirty spirits, although most of them were low quality, middle quality, and not one high quality, but in the short period of time, the Madame Yang did not lack any immortal spirits. Thus, Yang Tiangang only sent three cultivators of the appropriate age in the clan this time, while the remaining four were given to the large clan names Xu, Zhang, Shi, Li, and the few Xishan Village s.
Even if it was just a low level immortal spirit, it would still be worth a lot. The four families were naturally unwilling to let go of this opportunity, and picked out their most outstanding cultivators that were at the appropriate age to enter the Banyan Mountain.
First, the Blacksmith Zhang s from the smaller clans gave their spots to Xu Sanniang. Then, for some reason, Li Shaoqun gave up the third spot. Aesult, this time, the Xu family also sent three cultivators who were around their age.
Since he had chosen the person selected to head to Banyan Mountain, Yang Tiangang had initially planned for Su Baozhang to lead the way, but perhaps it was because the Xu Family had three cultivators of a similar age heading to Banyan Mountain, so Xu Sanniang requested to go as well.
Coincidentally, Yang Tiangang also needed to take out a batch of medium quality and low quality spirit materials that the village workshop had just refined and send it to the Chenyu County, he was short on manpower, and since there was an experienced man like Xu Sanniang who was going to take the initiative, Yang Tiangang sent him to deliver the goods, but unexpectedly, something like this happened in the Banyan Mountain.
Originally, although Yang Tiangang had sensed that there might have been a change to the Banyan Mountain this time, he had only guessed that these youths who were around the same age as him would have a battle with the Xiong and Yu Families in the Banyan Mountain. Who would have thought that the situation would lose control in the end and turn into a battle outside the Banyan Mountain!
In reality, it was not only Yang Tiangang who found it hard to believe, even the person behind the scenes, Spiritual Master Chen Ji, did not expect things to turn out like this. Dozens of young cultivators were slaughtered, to the point that he rushed to the scene the moment he received the news.
Although the county magistrate’s side had done it to the last man, the effect was truly good!
At any time, the younger generation of their families would always be under the control of their own family. Spiritual Master Chen Ji only wanted to create conflicts between the various families of the Xiong and Yu families through the increase in the number of spots in the Banyan Mountain, but in the end, because the Martial Realm Cultivator s of both families slaughtered the younger generation of both families, the relationship between the strongest and the various factions of the Mengyu County turned into a blood feud.
At the beginning, everyone was in the shadows, but when the rage finally dissipated and they calmed down and thought back to what had happened, the disgraceful role that the county magistrate’s group, led by Spiritual Master Chen Ji, had to play in order to make them suffer.
It was true that the Xiong and Yu Families and the various forces in the Mengyu County were like fire and water, but at the same time, the county magistrate court had also become the murderer!
It was no wonder that Spiritual Master Chen Ji was so angry. It was probably not only because of the young cultivators being massacred!
Speaking of Xishan Village’s losses this time, other than the one that dropped into the second stage of martial arts realm, there were probably three other cultivators of the same age that returned. There was one Madame Yang, one Xu, and there was even one that was actually the only cultivator of the Shi Family.
Along with the delivery of the news from Banyan Mountain, there was also a secret letter that Yang Tiangang wrote in secret. After Yang Junshan carefully checked it, he called for Lin Chengsi and the Blacksmith Zhang to write something down so that he could quietly leave the Sunset Ridge’s mine that night.
There wauge manor at the border between the county city and Wasteland Town, and the area around the manager of the manor was a few dozen acres wide, and in this area, there were at least ten acres of Ling Tian s, big and small. Different from the other plants, the most cultivated one was naturally the spiritual valley.
Xu Lei had become a deacon in the Yu Clan’s villa, and this huge manor was naturally the property of the Yu Clan.
It was precisely because Xu Lei was young, that he himself was hardworking and was favored by the Fourth Housekeeper., who was originally the son of a concubine from the Yu clan, was barely half a member of the Yu clan, and when the Fourth Housekeeper, who was in charge of overseeing the Yu clan, was not present, he would be able to hold half of the position of the owner of this manor.
That day, after the Spiritual Farmers in the villa had dealt with the Ling Tian s and weeds once, Xu Lei felt that his mind was not working properly, and his heart was beating really fast, as though something big was going to happen.
He went back to his residence and poured himself a cup of hot water. After calming down a bit, he heard footsteps outside the house and a servant’s voice outside the door said: “Deacon Xu, your family is outside the manor looking for you!”
Xu Lei’s heart thumped loudly, as if something had been fulfilled. However, after this sudden heartbeat, he no longer had his previous restlessness and unease, and instead, quickly calmed down: “Oh okay, I got it, bring him to the side courtyard, I’ll see him there!”
Xu Lei tidied up his clothes, and when he arrived at the side courtyard, he saw a person walking around the courtyard like an ant on a hot pan. Xu Lei’s eyes were sharp, and when he saw the beads of sweat on the man’s forehead, he did not seem to feel anything.
“Fourth uncle, what happened to you? Did something happen at home?” Xu Lei greeted and quickly walked towards the man.
When Xu Si Kun saw that Xu Lei was standing right in front of him, a look of happiness flashed across his face, but following that, a look of sorrow surfaced on his face, but strangely, he immediately recovered. However, at this time, he had time to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and cold sweat!
Xu SiKun pulled his hand and said, “Xiao Lei, we finally found you. Your mother is sick. Come with me to see him!”
Xu Lei was taken two steps forward by Xu Si Kun and felt his hand that was pulling him, causing him to feel shocked in his heart. However, his expression did not change, and he immediately called out to Xu Si Kun: “Fourth Uncle, don’t be busy, what disease did my mother have, how is he doing now?”
Xu Siqun couldn’t wait to leave the Yu Family villa. He didn’t say anything else and dragged him along. Then, he looked around and said, “Come back with me first. We’ll talk after we leave this place.”
Xu Lei’s mind was abnormally clear at this time. He had a feeling that something big had happened at home, and seeing how his Fourth Uncle was in sucush yet was unwilling to explain the whole situation, it was clear that he was not on guard against him, but rather with the Yu Family.
Fourth uncle and his mother were siblings, and besides his mother, he was the most intimate person in this world. He would never lie to himself!
At this time, Xu Lei also shouted loudly, “Fourth Uncle, I’m on duty at the Yu Family right now, I can’t just leave without saying anything.
Xu Siqun regained his senses. He knew that if he just left like this, the Yu Family wouldn’t suspect him. He forced a smile and said, “Go, quickly!”
Xu Lei called over a waiter, and asked him to go and discuss the matter with a deacon who had a good relationship with him, and that he could request forice for himself when the Fourth Butler returns. He had to go back to his home in Xishan Village first.
After a while, the two of them rode on the Hunchbacked Beast out of the villa and rushed towards the southeast direction. Xu Si Kun sat on the Hunchbacked Beast without saying a word, and even though Xu Lei wanted to ask, he did not dare to.
The uncle and nephew duo ran for a few kilometers beforeart-wrenching howl came from the sky.
Not long after Xu Lei and his nephew left, another group of people ran back to the Yu Family villa. The leader of the group was an old man witowerful aura, who was shockingly at the late stage of the martial arts realm.
“Master Steward, you’re back!”
The old man jumped down from the packhorse beast and threw the horse rope to the coachman that came to welcome him. He glanced at the two stewards standing by the side and his face darkened: “Where’s Xu Lei, why have you not seen him? Call him over to see me!”
One of the deacons stepped forward to report, “Master Butler, someone from Xu Lei’s family came over and said that his mother was severely ill. He couldn’t wait for Master to come back, so he went back to his home!”
“What? He left?” The fourth steward was furious. He grabbed back the reins from the groom and jumped onto the horse: “When did you leave? How did you do it? Tell me.”
“Xiao Lei, you must be sad. Right now, you are the only Martial Realm Cultivator left in the Xu family. If anything happens to you, our Xu family will be finished!”
Xu Siqun looked worriedly at his nephew, who only knew how to beat up a Hunting Horse Beast, and tried to console him.
The tears in his eyes had long been dried by the strong wind. Xu Lei endured the pain in his heart and wished to return home as soon as possible to see his mother, even if it was only her corpse!
The Yu Family, how could the Yu Family be the Yu Family …
The uncle and nephew duo did not dare to stop for a moment. Within four hours, the outline of the county could be seen in the distance.
At this time, Xu Sikun said: “Xiao Lei, we need to spare the county city. The Yu family might already know that you have left. There are people in the county city, if we stop in the county city …”
“No! We have to go to the county city! It’s a matter of life and death for the Xu Clan!” Xu Lei felt that he had never been so calm before.
