The five young men were galloping along the avenue between Wushan City and Tianshui City. The atmosphere was silent and there was no communication at all.
These five people were Yuan Peng and his party who left Luocheng. In just two days, they were halfway through the journey. It could be said that they were traveling at full speed.
With Leng Qingqing, a person who has always been aloof, Wu Zhiming and Dong Tiancheng no longer have the slightest desire to communicate. Yuan Peng and Li Yang obediently hang at the end of the team, and they are quite happy.
Otherwise, if someone asks more questions, they may not be able to answer it accurately. Moreover, the two of them are also worried about Qi Fan, and they are not as active as before.
A moment after the group of people disappeared from the avenue, Qi Fan's figure appeared, with confusion in his eyes. Was he worrying too much? There were no problems along the way, and it went so smoothly that Qi Fan couldn't believe it.
With this confusion, Qi Fan continued to hang behind them and disappeared on the avenue.
...
...........
A middle-aged man appeared in Yucheng extremely tired, with a panic look on his face, as if something he was extremely afraid of was chasing behind him.
He didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he passed the gate of Yucheng. If Qi Fan were here, he would have known at a glance that this man was one of the four men in black who besieged him ten days ago, the fourth one who fled in the end.
.
Both the eyes and the body shape are exactly the same, but the spirit before and after is a little different.
The Liu family is the absolute overlord in Yucheng, and even the second-ranked Yuan family is completely unable to compete with them.
In the Liu Mansion, the servants are all cautious and work with their heads down. Even if they have finished their own work, they will do it for others.
Or like some maids, they wiped it vigorously with a rag, even if the tables, chairs and benches were wiped until they were reflective, they still didn't stop.
Just because the head of the house who used to be approachable and clear in rewards and punishments seemed to be a different person today, he got angry and many precious antiques in the study were smashed to pieces.
Even a servant who was called in to clean moved a little slower because of fear, and was dragged down and killed by the housekeeper. The man's pitiful screams and begging for mercy were still vaguely ringing in his ears.
On this day, no one knew why the family leader was angry. They only knew that it was always right to be cautious. It was also on this day that they got to know the family leader again. It seemed that the family leader was not as good as they thought.
In the secret room in the backyard of the Liu family, the ancestor sat at the top, Liu Ye stood aside respectfully, and the fourth child who had appeared at the city gate knelt on the ground and said something.
If you observe carefully, you can see that he is shaking slightly, as if he is extremely afraid of the old man in front of him.
After a while, the fourth child told the story in a trembling voice, and then banged his head on the ground: "The mission failed, please be punished by the Master."
If this scene were spread, it would probably shock a lot of people. Master, is the honorific title of Danjie monks, Nascent Soul monks are also called Venerables, and more powerful Shen Transformation monks are revered as Patriarchs.
This is an honorific title with no other meaning, but the old man in front of Lao Si, the ancestor of the Liu family unknown to outsiders, turned out to be an alchemy monk.
The head of the family, Liu Ye, who was standing nearby, also revealed the realm of the Condensation Monk. Rumors from the outside world have always been that the Liu family relied on the fairy seedlings to rise, but this is different from the rumors from the outside world.
And although the pill-forming monks are stronger than the liquid-condensing monks, they won't make the liquid-condensing monks afraid like this!
I saw the ancestor of the Liu family who was standing above me flashing in his eyes and saying, "What do you mean, what is Qi?" Liu Ye said respectfully from the side: "Qi Fan."
The ancestor of the Liu family made a sound and said: "Yes, Qi Fan, more than a month ago he was still in the perfect state of Qi training, and now he is a monk in the middle stage of condensation?"
The fourth child said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, yes"
"As a result, three of you in the middle stage of condensation and one in the late stage of condensation were killed by others, and you were the only one who escaped?" the Liu family ancestor continued.
The fourth child was sweating coldly. He didn't know what the ancestor of the Liu family meant, so he could only reply: "Yes, yes."
Suddenly, a black snare drum appeared in the hand of the ancestor of the Liu family, and he yelled angrily, "Do you still have the nerve to come back?" He shook the black snare drum in his hand.
A rhythmic drum sound of "dong dong dong" sounded in the secret room, and the fourth child suddenly started wailing in pain, holding his stomach and rolling on the ground.
While rolling over, he begged for mercy: "Ah, I know I was wrong. Please, please forgive me, Master."
Liu Ye watched this scene quietly from the side without showing anything strange, as if he had become accustomed to it after seeing it often.
The ancestor of the Liu family didn't feel anything at all while listening to the fourth child's begging for mercy. His hands were still shaking, and the fourth child's already pale face turned even paler.
It wasn't until the fourth child was no longer able to cry out, curled up and twitching involuntarily, that the ancestor of the Liu family stopped with a cold snort.
"This is just a small punishment for you, get out."
The fourth child originally thought he was going to die, but upon hearing these chilling words, his empty and desperate eyes suddenly became alive.
He climbed up from the ground with difficulty, his eyes full of gratitude, and said weakly to the Liu family ancestor: "Thank you, thank you, Master."
The ancestor of the Liu family waved his hand impatiently, indicating that he could get out. Liu Ye, who had his head lowered on the side, had a flash of surprise in his eyes. He did not expect that the ancestor would let him go.
The fourth child staggered out and did not forget to close the door to the secret room. However, when he left, his grateful eyes were filled with hatred and malice. However, they only existed for a moment and then disappeared from his eyes.
Only the Liu family and his grandson were left in the secret room. Liu Ye said respectfully: "Grandpa, after this, Qi Fan will definitely be on guard. It will be difficult for him to take back our things."
"Moreover, losing three liquid condensation stage monks all at once has also damaged our strength a bit."
This old man turned out to be Liu Ye’s grandfather! The last head of the Liu family, Liu Fuzhi, died nearly a hundred years ago!
Liu Fuzhi said directly: "Otherwise, why do you think I would let him go? In the past, this kind of person would only die from being eaten by thousands of insects!"
Even Liu Ye couldn't help but shudder when he heard about Ten Thousand Insects Devouring Body. He was extremely grateful that he was a descendant of his ancestor.
Liu Fuzhi closed his eyes and thought for a while and said: "Don't worry about Qi Fan for the time being. First, collect the materials with all your strength. At the same time, let people keep an eye on Qi Fan. Once he shows signs of going out alone, immediately send people to surround him."
Then he thought of something and said: "Let Jiedan go, I don't believe this kid can turn the world around?"
Liu Ye quickly responded: "Yes, grandpa, my grandson will leave first."
Liu Fuzhi said "hmm" and said nothing further.
Upon seeing this, Liu Ye slowly retreated and gently closed the stone door. He didn't exhale until he left the backyard. Every time he went to see his grandfather, he was always respectful.
He did not dare to show any dissatisfaction or go out of his way. He would never forget how his father died!

Until Qi Fan entered the sect, he didn't believe it. He returned to the sect so easily?
