Chapter 267 Gongyang Family

Listening to the demands of several elders, Shi Chenghong did not rush to give orders, but his expression was worried:

"Have the elders ever thought about why the Zhou family was destroyed?"

"It is not something that an ordinary family can do to destroy a medium-sized family before the family has received the news. There may be hidden secrets that we don't know."

After hearing these analyses, the elders who were originally a little excited quickly sobered up in their minds.

They only saw the benefits that were within their reach, but ignored the hidden risks.

The families that could solve the Zhou family overnight were only the stronger upper-class families.

Their Shi family was not even a match for the Zhou family, let alone those stronger families. If they did not investigate why the Zhou family was destroyed, the family might be involved in an invisible vortex.

If they were not careful, the family would face a catastrophe.

Without the protection of the Zhou family, the Chen family was no longer a threat. The natural blood spring was there, and there was no need to worry about losing it. But it was precisely because of this that the family needed to act more cautiously.

Seeing several elders in deep thought, Shi Chenghong smiled slightly:

"It seems that you have thought it through. As for the Chen family, they won't be able to jump around for too long."

"Chengqiu, take a few more people to Yunmeng City to inquire about the situation, find out the reasons why the Zhou family was destroyed, and understand the whole process of the matter clearly."

"Chengyu, you and elder Chenghou go to the mass grave again to find out the situation of the Chen family, but you can only watch from a distance and not get close..."

"Chengyi, you need to keep an eye on the Xie family recently. Although the family is not afraid of the Xie family now, at a critical moment, it is hard to guarantee that the Xie family will intervene, so you have to be on guard!"

"Okay."

Several elders agreed and immediately prepared to set off.

After several elders left, Shi Chenghong slowly sat down and thought deeply.

He was able to become the head of the Shi family because of these overall views. Although he might be a little more cautious on weekdays, he did not lack the courage to burn his boats at a critical moment.

But now the family situation is different. With a warrior in the Yuqi realm in the family, the family can completely return to the rhythm of the past and develop slowly without rushing.

With the family's strength, it will not take a few days to investigate these situations. In these few days, even if the Chen family wants to run, they can't run far.

Only by investigating clearly can we avoid future troubles.

...

"The Zhou family was destroyed?"

In the main hall of the Xie family, Xie Yanmiao couldn't help asking again.

"Yes, clan leader, I just got the news this morning. According to the news, the destruction of the Zhou family seems to be related to the Gongyang family."

Xie Yanmiao was silent after hearing it. The family has developed very well in Yunmeng City, so the news they got is more comprehensive.

However, when Xie Yanmiao heard about the Gongyang family, he was still shocked.

The Gongyang family is a big family, and it is also a level that the family cannot reach now, but the family is well-informed in this regard, so they know this name.

But the Gongyang family is located in Yelang County in southern Xinjiang, which is quite far away from Yunmeng City. Logically speaking, the two families should not be involved.

But now that the Zhou family has been destroyed, even if there are many doubts, it is not the focus at the moment.

Thinking of this, Xie Yanmiao hurriedly asked the clan members in front of him:

"Where are the Zhou family members who came before? Where are they now?"

"Reporting to the clan leader, those people said they went out to play two days ago and have not returned yet."

Hiss!

Hearing this, Xie Yanmiao felt a chill in his heart and hurriedly said:

"Quickly go and gather the clan elders, and tell them that the family is in danger, and ask them to come to the hall to discuss!"

"In addition, go and notify Brother Yanmo, and let him go in person to find those Zhou family members."

Seeing that the clan leader looked so serious, the clan members below also ran out without stopping.

After doing all this, Xie Yanmiao still couldn't calm down.

Before this, he was still happy about the alliance between the family and the Zhou family. After all, the family has developed well in Yunmeng City, and being able to form an alliance with the Zhou family is very helpful for the development of the family.

When the Zhou family sent several clansmen over, he was also quite happy, thinking that this was from the Zhou family's attention. After a while, he could use the Zhou family's people to eliminate the Shi family, and then dominate Yong'an City.

But now it seems that the reason why the Zhou family agreed and sent clansmen over was not to form an alliance with the family, but to know the current outcome long ago, and to borrow the family's hand to seek refuge.

In other words, the family is just a cover for the Zhou family to confuse the Gongyang family, so as to buy more time for the Zhou family members.

Although there is endless anger in his heart, he can only stay in his heart since things have come to this point.

Those who can develop into superior families are all ruthless people. Since the Zhou family has been eliminated, there will be no future troubles. This is also a lesson left by many families in history, and many families have done very well.

If he remembered correctly, the people who came to the family last time were the direct descendants of the Zhou family and the core figures of the Zhou family.

He thought that the Zhou family favored him, but he didn't expect that he would become the death warrant of the family now.

If the Gongyang family knew that his Xie family had dealings with the Zhou family, the family would be in danger.

The most urgent task was to quickly find the Zhou family members who left the family, otherwise when the Gongyang family came to inquire and the family could not hand over the people, the family would be in trouble.

After a while, more than ten family elders who knew the news had rushed to the hall.

The next moment, the door of the main hall was closed, and the voices of many elders discussing came from the hall.

…

The night was as dark as ink, and the stars were dotted.

In the family ancestral hall, a dense locust tree was flickering with a faint fluorescence.

Facing the bright moon above and the surrounding walls, Ji Yang sighed in his heart.

The new wall of the family is a bit high. Although it looks much safer, the scenery is much worse. It seems that he needs to grow taller.

But the next moment, Ji Yang's consciousness quickly gathered, and at the same time he said to himself:

"Finally here!"

In Ji Yang's sight, a vague and confused soul floated from not far away.

This man has a handsome face and extraordinary appearance. Even if he is just an unconscious soul, he still has a good momentum.

This soul is Zhou Huaian.

After the battle yesterday, he used some kind of combat skills to self-destruct and died, but it was only his body that exploded, not his soul.

Unfortunately, Ji Yang's roots have not yet extended to the bottom of the battle between the two people, and he cannot directly summon the soul. He can only rely on his own characteristics and rich Yin Qi to attract it.

Fortunately, his body destroyed itself, and there was no descendant to set up a spirit tablet, so he would just float around and be attracted here soon.

If his soul was allowed to float, it would become a residual soul in a few decades.

Zhou Huaian was a warrior in the outer realm before his death, and his strength was not bad. Even his soul was particularly solid, even better than Chen Changming. From this point of view, he might be able to hold on for a little longer.
