Chapter 43: Good and Bad Disciples of the Zhu Family
Xie Yan slowly exited this place without disturbing anyone.【】
From the conversation between Zhu Jiangbao and Zhu Jianglu, Xie Yan already understood what happened.
He had not returned to Xie's cemetery for nearly a month. Fu Bo and Qiao Yun, who realized something was wrong, immediately told Xie Zhengying about Xie Yan's disappearance.
Because Xie Yan's identity was relatively sensitive and it was not convenient for a large-scale search, Xie Zhengying secretly built a plank road to cross Chencang. On the surface, he asked Xie family disciples and Zhu family disciples to form a team to go deep into Qingyun Mountain for training. In fact, he secretly sent people to Qingyun Mountain.
Search for traces of Xie Yan.
Ever since Xie Yanghua, the eldest elder of the Xie family, appeared, the situation in the entire Jiuyuan County has become more subtle. Although some forces who covet the Xie family dare not make any moves on the surface, there are undercurrents surging behind the scenes.
If the news of Xie Yan's disappearance in Qingyun Mountain spreads, there will definitely be many hidden forces ready to take action. If a direct disciple of the Xie family is captured as a hostage, the benefits will be immeasurable.
"It turns out that the body of Bishui Hanchan was taken away by the disciples of the Xie family and the Zhu family. This is not an advantage to outsiders!"
The Zhu family and the Xie family are family friends. Hundreds of years of marriage have already closely linked the two families. The Zhu family was originally just a small family in Jiuyuan County. Hundreds of years ago, the ancestors of the Zhu family lived in Qingyun Mountain.
After saving the seriously injured head of the Xie family, he developed into one of the top three families in Jiuyuan County with the help of the Xie family.
"I have never met a direct disciple of the Xie family until now. It just so happens that there is someone from the third generation of the Xie family!"
Xie Yan said, and his body slowly disappeared into the woods.
Although Xie Yan doesn't have much experience in jungle survival, he can easily hide his whereabouts with his powerful power of thought.
Following the traces left by the two brothers of the Zhu family, a camp soon appeared in front of Xie Yan, where all the disciples from the Xie and Zhu families who participated in the training gathered here.
Xie Yan stopped more than 200 meters away from the camp and carefully hid in the bushes without moving.
The power of thoughts spread, and suddenly, more than ten powerful auras came from around the camp, clearly appearing in Xie Yan's mind!
With fifteen innate military generals and three innate martial kings, the Xie and Zhu families have spared no effort in protecting the disciples who participated in this training.
A master in the Martial King Realm is considered a big master in Ningzhou, but now, he can only serve as a guard.
Two of the three Martial King Realm masters were from the Xie family, and Xie Yan could feel the breath of the Water God's bloodline in their bodies.
"I don't want them to find out. It would be bad if there is a misunderstanding!"
Just when Xie Yan was about to leave quietly, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from the camp, and then dozens of people walked out of the camp embracing three young men in brocade robes.
Upon closer inspection, two of these three people looked somewhat similar to Xie Yan. Each had a golden barking embroidered on their clothes. They turned out to be direct disciples of the Xie family.
Xie Yan soon recognized their origins. They were Xie Xing'an, the eldest son of the Xie family, and Xie Xinghuai, the second son of the Xie family.
Xie Xing'an is the direct disciple of the second family. Because he has a constitution with heavenly spiritual roots, he has been cared for since he was a child, and he has a sense of pride in his bones. Although he appears to be extremely kind in both words and deeds, he obviously has a sense of superiority, which makes him feel proud.
Xie Yan was very unhappy.
Xie Xinghuai is the second young master of Xie's family, two years older than Xie Yan. His father, Xie Chengxuan, is Xie Yan's biological uncle.
Xie Xinghuai was often bullied by Xie Yan when he was a child, and was often teased by Xie Yan. However, Xie Yan had not seen him since he left Xie's family six years ago, and he did not expect that meeting him again would be such an occasion.
Looking at Xie Xinghuai's face, Xie Yan couldn't help but frown. Xie Xinghuai's appearance now is completely different from that of his childhood. At such a young age, his face had a hint of viciousness and cunning. I don't know what kind of experience can make a person do this.
changes.
Being able to stand with Xie Xing'an and Xie Xinghuai, there is another man of extraordinary origin. He has a three-headed golden mamba embroidered on his clothes. He is obviously a direct disciple of the Zhu family.
As far as Xie Yan knows, there are only three direct disciples in the third generation of the Zhu family, the eldest young master Zhu Yutang, the second young master Zhu Yuxiang, and the third young lady Zhu Yao.
The Zhu family disciple in front of me should be Zhu Yutang, the eldest young master of the Zhu family. He is twenty-five years old and has a level of strength as a martial artist. He is also an influential figure among the younger generation in Ningzhou.
The dozens of young disciples following the three of them were the young disciples of the Xie and Zhu families participating in the training this time, and their strengths varied greatly.
Some are already in the realm of peak warriors, and if they make breakthroughs, they can reach the realm of innate martial arts masters. Some are no more than in the realm of martial arts disciples, and their nominal experience is just for fun.
"Xinghuai, has it been fifteen days since we entered Qingyun Mountain?"
When everyone walked to the door, Xie Xing'an suddenly turned around and said, "In half a month, I have searched all the places I could look for. I will go out for the last time today and search fifty miles deeper into Qingyun Mountain. If I search again,
Let’s go back as soon as there is no trace of the third child! We have tried our best to get to this point, and even if we fail, the head of the family will not blame us!”
Although he didn't have much impression of Xie Yan, his third brother, Xie Xing'an still spared no effort to find traces of Xie Yan in Qingyun Mountain.
After all, they are both direct disciples of the Xie family, so if Xie Yan dies, they will not feel well.
Xie Xinghuai nodded and said calmly, "You also know that Lao San's physique is not suitable for practicing martial arts at all. Even if a great elder opens his meridians, he can only reach the realm of a low-level martial artist in just one year. Here.
Any second-level monster appearing in Qingyun Mountain can kill him."
Xie Xinghuai wrinkled as he spoke, and the gloomy look on his face became even more intense.
"We have now penetrated more than a hundred miles into Qingyun Mountain. Are there third- and fourth-level monsters everywhere here? If the third child really entered here, I am afraid that he would have been eaten by the monsters long ago. Not even a bone is possible.
Leave!"
Xie Xing'an smiled maliciously and said, "Are you still angry with Lao San? I heard that Lao San killed one of your concubines on the first day he returned to Xie's family last year. Are you still holding a grudge?"
This matter?"
"How come?"
Xie Xinghuai's expression remained unchanged and he retorted, "I'm just a spoiled maid. If she dies, she dies. It saves me the trouble of doing it myself! The third child is our eldest disciple after all, and I will be sad if he dies! But
This kind of thing will not happen if we don't want to. If I die one day, don't be surprised, this is the way the world is!"
Xie Xing'an frowned and said dissatisfiedly, "Your personality has changed drastically since that incident three years ago. You really make me uncomfortable with you now! I still like the person you were before, at least you won't make me feel uncomfortable."
strangeness."
"Don't mention that matter again, otherwise I will fall out with you. Even though you are the eldest brother, I won't let you get into a fight."
Xie Xinghuai's expression changed, and he immediately left the team and walked forward quickly.
At this time, Zhu Yutang, who was silent at the side, walked up to Xie Xing'an and said with a smile, "What are Mr. Xie's plans today? Are you planning to hunt down the fifth-level high-level monster, the powerful demon ape, thirty miles away?"
Are you ready to hunt down the fifth-level peak monster Unicorn Crocodile in the north?"
Xie Xing'an did not answer, but smiled at Zhu Yutang.
"You should choose the eldest son first, that's what I say! You also know that my mission is not really to practice. As long as we find traces of the third child, we will go back!"
Zhu Yutang said unceremoniously, "In this case, I won't be polite. I need the inner elixir of the unicorn crocodile to refine a high-grade elixir. I will leave this fifth-level monster to our Zhu family disciples to solve it."
Got it!"
Xie Xing'an nodded and said nothing. He just smiled and glanced at Zhu Yutang, then turned his eyes aside.
For an instant, a look of contempt flashed through the corner of Xie Xing'an's eyes, but he hid it so well that no one noticed it.
Although the fifth-level peak monster Unicorn Crocodile is much more difficult to deal with than the fifth-level advanced monster the Powerful Demonic Ape, the benefits of hunting a Unicornic Crocodile far exceed that of the Powerful Demonic Ape.
There is only one inner elixir in the body of the powerful demon ape that is relatively valuable, and the others are not worth much. But the unicorn crocodile is full of treasures. In addition to the inner elixir, the leather armor on the unicorn crocodile can be used to refine it.
The eyes of the unicorn crocodile in the inner armor of the magic weapon are also good medicinal materials, and the horn on the head also has a detoxifying effect. Zhu Yutang chose the unicorn crocodile because of this point.
