The current patriarch of the Zhang family, Zhang Bao, is sitting at the top of the meeting hall, with a terrifyingly gloomy face.
In addition to Zhang Bao, there are four elders including the eldest elder, the third elder, the eighth elder, and the seventeenth elder of the Zhang family who are friends in the meeting hall at this time.
Zhang Bao also took over as the head of the Zhang family seventeen years ago. Zhang Bao's identity was not originally enough to compete for the position of head of the Zhang family. Grandpa Zhang Bao's third brother was the sixth elder of the Zhang family at that time. Zhang Bao
The family was not actually powerful in the Zhang family. However, due to the special background of his wife Xun Yulian and Zhang Bao's strength, he gradually became the strongest person in the family, so he was able to successfully control the entire Zhang family and become the Zhang family.
The current patriarch.
Two years after Zhang Bao became the head of the Zhang family, he and Xun Yulian gave birth to a son, Zhang Feng. Zhang Feng was pampered since he was a child and could not tolerate the slightest grievance, and gradually developed a character that was determined to retaliate.
Although he was much more restrained within the family when he grew up, he naturally showed an aggressive attitude towards outsiders. Because the Zhang family was so powerful, Zhang Feng almost never suffered a loss in Jinyang City.
In Jinyang City, wherever Zhang Feng walked, even on the streets, there was usually silence, and no one dared to show off for fear of getting into trouble, which shows his domineering attitude.
When Zhang Feng first went to Ziye City, at the restaurant outside Ziye College, no one was allowed to make a sound while he was eating.
Xia Yan and Zhang Feng had a grudge because the local dog barked a few times and offended Zhang Feng.
"boom!"
Zhang Bao suddenly stood up and slapped his palm on the table.
A fierce murderous aura erupted from his body. A frightening light also shot out from his eyes.
Several family elders all had solemn and stern expressions. The temperature of the surrounding air seemed to have dropped a lot instantly.
"who!"
"Who on earth dares to attack my Feng'er!"
Zhang Bao was almost hoarse, his sleeves were bulging high, his voice was deep and terrifying, and he stayed together in the meeting hall for a long time.
"Purple Leaf College! Feng'er disappeared in Purple Leaf College? Hum, missing, good, very good." Zhang Bao roared.
"Great Elder, what do you think about this matter?" Suddenly, Zhang Bao glanced at the Great Elder and asked in a deep voice.
"The patriarch, the dean of Purple Leaf College, wrote a letter saying that Zhang Feng has been missing for many days. Purple Leaf College sent people to search but could not find his whereabouts. Calculating the date, when Zhang Feng disappeared, he and Zhang Qilian, the general manager of our family's outer college, arrived in Purple Leaf City.
That's consistent." The great elder looked at Zhang Bao, and when he saw that Zhang Bao remained silent, he continued, "Zhang Qilian lost news at the same time as Zhang Bao, and there were also Zhang Haiquan and Zhang Hongfei."
"According to the letter, the three children of the Zhang family in Purple Leaf College disappeared at the same time. The letter did not mention Zhang Qilian. It should be that Liu Yun, the dean of Purple Leaf College, did not know that Zhang Qilian and Zhang Feng were together.
." The great elder's voice also contained an air of oppression.
"There are two possibilities for Zhang Feng's disappearance. One is that he was kidnapped and wanted to blackmail him. If this is the possibility, the kidnapper will definitely contact us. The second possibility is that Zhang Feng was killed and destroyed.
No trace of the corpse." The great elder continued his analysis.
"boom!"
Zhang Bao slapped the solid table again, but the fierce murderous intent that had just emitted from his body suddenly disappeared without a trace, and even the anger on his face faded a bit.
This treasure is indeed extraordinary. It can suppress the anger in my heart so quickly.
"The first possibility is unlikely. So far, the Zhang family has not received any news from anyone. Therefore, most of the four Zhang Feng people in the Zhang family are dead. Tell me, what will happen if you kill the four Zhang Feng people?
Who is it?" Zhang Bao turned his eyes, and a ray of light shot out from his eyes.
"Maybe they are our enemies." The Eighth Elder said.
The Zhang family is one of the two largest families in Jinyang City. In many places, they will inevitably have enemies.
But, who can go to Ziye Academy to kill Zhang Feng and the other four?
"Not necessarily. Not many of our enemies can kill four of them quietly. Zhang Qilian's strength is not weak." The third elder interjected.
There are many enemies, but not many are truly powerful.
Moreover, such an enemy would not bother to do this, because it is completely meaningless.
"Clan leader, I think it's better to send someone to investigate. Isn't Xiang Ziqi still at Purple Leaf Academy?" the great elder said in a dark voice.
"Yes!" Zhang Bao nodded, "Yes, that Xiang Ziqi also sent a letter saying that Zhang Feng has been missing for many days and she is worried that Zhang Feng is in danger."
"In this case, Great Elder, go and investigate in person. Once there are any results, send someone to notify me immediately." Zhang Bao nodded and said to the Great Elder.
"Yes, patriarch!" The great elder responded immediately.
"Could this matter have anything to do with Liu Yun, the dean of Purple Leaf College?" The third elder pondered, his eyes flashing.
"Liu Yun?" Hearing this, Zhang Bao trembled.
Liu Yun is the dean of a first-class college, and his relationship with the Holy Land is complicated. There are countless powerful people who have come out of Purple Leaf College. However, what does the death of Zhang Feng and others have to do with Liu Yun?
Could it be that Liu Yun would kill Zhang Feng and the others? You know, Zhang Hongfei has been practicing in Ziye Academy for nine years, and hasn't he always been fine?
"Probably not. With Liu Yun's identity, why did he kill Zhang Feng and the others?" Zhang Bao shook his head.
"Clan leader, I just have some doubts. Liu Yun is the dean of Purple Leaf College, and his strength has already entered the realm of Lingzong. Someone was killing people in Purple Leaf College, and he didn't even notice..." The third elder frowned, "So,
I'm a little confused."
Hearing what the third elder said, Zhang Bao's heart suddenly moved.
"No matter what, let's go investigate first. Hum - if we find the murderer, I will cut him into pieces!" Zhang Bao gritted his teeth and roared in a low voice, "If there is a person, kill a person. If there is a family, destroy a family.
!”
"Great Elder, pay special attention to the enemies Feng'er made after going to Ziye City." Zhang Bao added in a sinister tone.
Several elders gasped.
A week later, the elder of the Zhang family arrived in Ziye City and came to Ziye College that same day.
The guards of Purple Leaf College naturally stopped the Zhang family's elder. However, the elder said he wanted to find Xiang Ziqi, a student from the academy, so the guard went to notify Xiang Ziqi.
Xiang Ziqi also met the great elder of the Zhang family. When he saw the great elder coming in person, of course he left the academy immediately.
Xiang Ziqi, the elder of the Zhang family, took him to a restaurant and carefully asked Zhang Feng about the people Zhang Feng had come into contact with at the college and what happened before Zhang Feng disappeared.
At first, Xiang Ziqi did not talk about the grudge between Zhang Feng and Xia Yan. Later, when the great elder pressed him anxiously, Xiang Ziqi told the story of the grudge between Zhang Feng and Xia Yan.
"Elder, how could Xia Yan kill Zhang Feng and the others when he was only fifteen years old?" Xiang Ziqi did not believe that the murderer was Xia Yan. "Zhang Feng and the others are missing, so they are not necessarily dead. Maybe... maybe they went there.
Where is it!"
Xiang Ziqi didn't want to believe that Zhang Feng was dead, nor did she want to believe that Zhang Feng was killed by Xia Yan.
"Hmph, what do you know?" The great elder snorted coldly, staring at Xiang Ziqi like a knife, "Xiang Ziqi, you said that Xia Yan is Liu Yun's disciple? Now, are you still going to attend the college exchange meeting?
?Then Xia Yan's strength is very strong! If he can participate in the first-class college exchange meeting, he must have the strength of a late-stage spiritual master. Zhang Feng and the others are probably killed by this Xia Yan."
"Impossible!" Xiang Ziqi quickly denied, "Xia Yan will not kill Zhang Feng and the others."
"Okay, you can't tell anyone about this matter, you know? You should be honest. Otherwise, your Xiang family will not have a good time in Jinyang City." The elder threatened, "Now, you can
I'm going back to the academy. I will find out if Xia Yan killed the four Zhang Feng people."
Xiang Ziqi looked at the elder's livid face and wanted to speak for Xia Yan again, but in the end she didn't say anything and turned around and left the restaurant and returned to the academy.
"How could this happen? Xia Yan, how could he kill Zhang Feng? No, it won't happen." Along the way, Xiang Ziqi had such thoughts in her mind.
"There were four of Zhang Feng and the others, how could they be killed? Maybe Zhang Feng went to other places? The Dragon Continent is so big, Zhang Feng might have become a mercenary." Xiang Ziqi imagined various possibilities.
Finally, I couldn't hold it back any longer and started crying.
"Great Elder, Xia Yan went to Ziyue City to attend an exchange meeting, then we..."
Beside the great elder, a leading guard asked in a low voice.
The great elder raised his right hand and stopped the guard's words.
"Don't worry, there must be some students in Ziye Academy who are familiar with Xia Yan. Let's start with them first. This Xia Yan is the key suspect. However, it may not be him. And he is Liu Yun's
Disciple, we must be cautious." The Great Elder narrowed his eyes slightly, took a breath and said slowly.
"Yes, Great Elder! Then..." The guard turned his head, "Then we will secretly investigate those who are close to Xia Yan."
"Well, be careful, it's best not to hurt anyone. If it's not Xia Yan, we won't be able to explain it at that time." The great elder finally waved his hand to the leading guard.
"Yes, Great Elder!" After the guard said that, he turned around and left the restaurant with the others.
"The clan leader asked me to find out who killed Zhang Feng. I have to find out a result. Now, I know from Xiang Ziqi that this Xia Yan is Zhang Feng's enemy after he came to Ziye College. Moreover,
, is Liu Yun’s disciple. In this case, it will be more difficult to handle."
Alone in the room, the elder of the Zhang family was thinking in his mind.
"Alas! Wait for these two days before sending the news to Jinyang City, and wait for the clan leader to make his own decision. With the clan leader's character, if he is sure that Xia Yan is the murderer, then I'm afraid he will ignore Liu Yun's identity.
The one who killed Xia Yan." The great elder stood up and walked impatiently in the room.
