"Outside the door?" Xu Xiao thought deeply, and after thinking about it, he understood why Zi Yan did this, and nodded approvingly: "It looks like you already know?"
"It's just a guess. We came out after only inquiring about a little news in the city. In this way, the Yuan family also sent a few monks in the condensing stage to chase us, but I don't know why, they were not very serious about chasing them, and they were quite kind. It was a perfunctory feeling, and then they all went back." After a pause, he continued: "Dad, have the traitors at home been dug out?"
Xu Xiao sneered: "The two caught out are both loose cultivators who were recruited last year. It seems that the Yuan family has never planned to stay safe since they came to Mo Xincheng, and they actually put a nail in our house as soon as they came."
"Only two?" Xu Ziyan was surprised: "What's the matter with that ore vein? If it's a valuable ore vein, it's impossible for this kind of loose cultivator to know the news."
Xu Xiao's brows were tightly wrinkled again: "I'm worried about this matter, and I already have the object of suspicion, but the other party has been in our Xu family for many years, and many of his descendants have become the Xu family. If the Xu family loses, what benefit will he have?"
Xu Ziyan blinked, neither the original body's memory nor the novel mentioned this matter, nor did he know anything about it. And he is still a little worried, whether this time the incident was caused by his little butterfly fanning his wings, if so, then the result of this time is difficult to predict, if not... Then the Xu family will definitely win this time!
After all, the original Xu family was destroyed by the blood demon Xu Zirong. Today's Xu Zirong's cultivation speed is many times faster than in his previous life, but he still only has the cultivation level in the middle stage of condensing the pulse. If he wants to kill the Xu family, it seems like... strength Not enough.
In other words, according to the normal development, the Xu family seems to have many years to continue, so now it can only be blocked by soldiers, and the water will cover it.
Xu Ziyan spread his hands in his heart, since the Yuan family dared to challenge the Xu family, they must have at least two Jindan cultivators. After all, Xu Xiao himself was a cultivator in the early stage of Jindan, and Luo Lao, who guarded the Xu family's Sutra Pavilion, was even a middle stage cultivator.
On the surface, the Xu family seems to have only two Jindan cultivators, but no matter which family can last for such a long time, it is more or less guaranteed. It may be the hidden ancestor, the powerful magic formation, or even the talisman with extremely high lethality. In a word, if the opponent wants to completely defeat the Xu family, it would be a dream if there are no more than three Jindan cultivators. Do not think!
Xu Xiao was lost for a while because of Xu Ziyan's question just now, and when he regained his senses, he explained to Xu Ziyan about the ore veins.
This Xu family's ore vein was actually discovered a long time ago, but it has not been mined for various reasons.
Now that Xu Ziyan has entered the Liuguang Sect, and he has also worshipped under the sect of Daojun Yuanying, Xu Xiao naturally has to plan for his son.
The Xu family's background is not thick now, and there are no outstanding treasures on hand. The only thing that the Xu family could provide for Xu Ziyan was the wealth and wealth of the Dharma Companions needed for cultivation.
Xu Xiao thought clearly, the higher Xu Ziyan's cultivation, the higher the status of the Xu family. A family with a Jindan cultivator and a family with a Nascent Soul cultivator are definitely not the same level.
The treasures in the family's secret room are only used to rise after the family has suffered a devastating blow.
It stands to reason that a Tielinyan vein generally does not cause much disputes. After all, Tielinyan is not a precious mineral, but I don’t know if the Xu family was lucky or not, but they found it in this Tielinyan vein. I found a hidden vein of Tielinyan concentrate. Don't look at Tielinyan, there is only one word difference in Tielinyan essence, but the price has more than doubled hundreds of times.
If this iron forest rock is ground into powder, it is a good neutralizing agent. Whether it is qi refining or alchemy, it can increase some Chen power, and even add some iron forest to the paint for drawing talismans and magic circles. Rock powder will also make the formed array more stable.
However, because the effect of this thing is not very big, and in high-level medicinal pills and refining tools, its effect is equivalent to none, so most of the people who use iron forest rock powder are some low-level monks.
But the iron forest rock essence is completely different. It is said to be the iron forest rock essence. Its composition is the same as the iron forest rock, but the density is a thousand times that of the iron forest rock, and it is strange that no matter how the iron forest rock is extracted , the iron forest rock essence could not be extracted all the time, which puzzled many alchemy experts in the cultivation world.
But in any case, the iron forest rock essence powder can be completely put into the high-level medicinal pills, and even in the refining process of many high-level medicinal pills and magic weapons, if the iron forest rock powder is lacking, the failure rate will be greatly increased. improve.
Such a valuable ore vein has become a matter of course for the Yuan family to covet.
After the incident was revealed at the beginning, Xu Xiao was furious, but anger turned into anger, and the problem still had to be solved. He considered whether to share this ore vein with the Yuan family, but he didn't expect the Yuan family to have such a big appetite. Not only would he want to dominate this ore vein, but he even ignored their Xu family's operation in Moxincheng for so many years, and wanted to forcibly drive them away. .
Of course Xu Xiao couldn't accept this kind of thing, so he fought with the Yuan family several times in the city. It stands to reason that if the Yuan family wanted to run Mo Xincheng, how could they have to take care of the civilians in the city, but I didn’t expect that when they were fighting in the city, the other party simply regarded those mortals as nothing, but the cultivators of the Xu family had more scruples. Lost in the fight.
Xu Ziyan frowned slightly, but he wasn't busy discussing this issue with his father. Zi Yan and Jiang Ying were still waiting outside. Jiang Ying didn't care for the time being, but he felt some kind of extreme anxiety in his heart—even almost Manic feeling.
Silently holding his forehead, Xu Ziyan could fully imagine Xu Zirong's irritable mood, if he didn't go out, maybe he would rush in without any scruples.
"Cough, father, Zirong and the others are still outside, let me bring them in first."
"Alright, let's go, this is for you." Xu Xiao handed over two jade tokens: "This is the token for entering and leaving our Xu family's great formation, you can keep it."
"Great formation?" Xu Ziyan was stunned for a moment. When he came in, he didn't find any big formation. Then... He said that there were four of them. What does it mean to give two tokens
Xu Xiao glared at him: "This great formation was set up by the ancestors of the Xu family. Of course, people with Xu family blood can enter and leave freely. Neither you nor Zirong need a token. Moreover, this formation is controlled by Lao Lao's hands. It's not that Luo Lao released the water, do you think you can enter my courtyard so easily?"
Xu Ziyan turned his face silently, as expected, he couldn't underestimate anyone. He had always felt that the Xu family was an underachiever in this Xuan Yuyu, but he didn't expect to hide such a powerful formation.
At the beginning, his Fang Gejun had even deceived the demon cultivator of Nascent Soul, but he did not expect to be easily discovered by this great formation.
It seemed that in the future, he had to be more careful when he practiced outside, lest he accidentally overturned the boat. At that time, I'm afraid there would be no chance for him to be reborn.
After handing the token to Jiang Ying and Fang Tianrui, and then explaining the big formation to them, Xu Ziyan turned to look at Xu Zirong with concern.
Xu Zirong frowned slightly when he heard about the existence of the Great Array, but the moment he saw his brother looking at him, he immediately showed a smile: "I'm fine. Brother, don't worry."
Xu Ziyan nodded and led them over the wall from a corner that avoided people. After Jiang Ying and others had all passed, Xu Zirong lowered his face slightly, looking at the extremely ordinary stone wall with a gloomy expression. .
He never knew that the Xu family would have such a big formation, and they still rely on blood to distinguish friends from enemies. He knew very well that he had no blood relationship with Xu Xiao. Although his mother didn't know what method he used to make Xu Xiao believe that he was his bloodline, this great formation would not be as easy to deceive as a human being.
Xu Zirong's expression was gloomy, and he was a little helpless when he looked at the large formation without a trace.
With his proficiency in the array, he didn't notice any traces at all. From this point of view, the cultivator who set up the array at the beginning was definitely the best among the masters of the array. The opponent's cultivation base and understanding of the array are far superior to him, and he doesn't think he has a chance to deceive the array.
"Zirong, what are you doing?" Xu Ziyan jumped over and jumped out of the wall. He had arranged Jiang Ying and Fang Tianrui, but after a while, Xu Zirong, who thought he was following behind them, disappeared. After searching all the way, he found that the other party hadn't even come in, which made him speechless.
"It's alright..." Xu Zirong frowned, wanting to tell his brother that he and he are not blood brothers? But what's the use of saying it now? Even if my brother knew, it wouldn't solve the big formation's problem, and he would still be rejected by the big formation.
For a while, he had no way to steal other people's tokens, but just breaking in like this was tantamount to telling Xu Xiao that he was not his seed.
Based on what he knew about Xu Xiao, when he was recognized as his son, the other party was so cold to him. If he was told that he was the child of his woman who had an affair with someone else, it would be like slapping his face naked. With a slap, he will definitely spare no effort to kill himself to wash away his shame.
Xu Zirong was in a dilemma, he didn't mind turning against Xu Xiao, but his brother had feelings for the Xu family, so he naturally had to consider his brother's mood.
"Still in a daze!" Xu Ziyan knocked down with a burst of chestnuts. He thought that Xu Zirong was in a daze because his emotions towards the Xu family were too complicated, so he was very considerate... grabbed him by the waist, carried him over the wall and jumped in.
Xu Zirong:…
Because he was attacked by his brother without checking for a while, Xu Zirong entered the Xu family's compound before he had time to react. He stared blankly at the familiar environment around him, puzzled...
Why didn't the big array start? Could it be that Xu Xiao was bluffing? Impossible, if he wants to deceive, he also wants to deceive others, how can he deceive Xu Ziyan, who he regards as the perfect heir
"Okay, why are you still in a daze when you come in?" Xu Ziyan rarely saw that Xu Zirong was in a daze twice, and couldn't help but laugh.
"Ah? It's nothing." Xu Zirong quickly recovered. Although he didn't understand what was going on, it was undoubtedly a good thing for him.
After another kiss on Zirong's head, Xu Ziyan wanted to take him to Xu Xiao's study.
However, Xu Zirong was still a little guilty at this time, for fear of being seen by Xu Xiao, he refused.
Xu Ziyan didn't care, he knew that Zirong had a deep attachment to Xu Xiao, as long as he didn't want to kill Xu Xiao for revenge, he wouldn't force anything else...
Returning to Xu Xiao's study again, Xu Ziyan and Xu Xiao discussed the recent situation. Because Xu Ziyan just came back, most of them were talking about Xu Xiao. He was listening, but after a while, he noticed something was wrong.
"The Yuan family's attitude doesn't seem to be trying to control Mo Xincheng? Otherwise, why would they ignore the lives of these city residents?"
Xu Xiao paused: "I also had such doubts, but the other party persecuted our Xu family too much. If they didn't want to force us to leave, they would have no need to fight with us."
Xu Ziyan's brows furrowed. If it was because of his own interests, when the other party found out that the danger he faced far outweighed the benefits he could obtain, as long as he wasn't too stupid, he would definitely retreat.
But now the Yuan family feels completely different to him. According to Xu Xiao, the Yuan family seems to want to fight with the Xu family to the end, regardless of any loss.
This is completely unbelievable to Xu Ziyan. No matter how valuable this ore vein is, it cannot be worth the continuation of the family. If the younger generation in your family is exhausted, what kind of inheritance do you expect
No sensible patriarch would make such a decision, and no sensible family would be able to tolerate their patriarch to make such a crazy decision.
But this impossible thing happened, so the only reason can only be - the person who ordered is someone they can't resist!
There is only one such person in the Yuan family, and that is the legendary ancestor of the Yuan family in the late Jindan period!
"The ancestor of the Yuan family?" When Xu Ziyan told his thoughts, Xu Xiao frowned: "Then what does he want?"
It is said that the ancestor of the Yuan family has not appeared in front of the clan for many years. Such a half-step Yuanying cultivator should focus on seeking breakthroughs. After all, the Jindan cultivator has only a few hundred years of life. If Old Ancestor Dan does not break through, I am afraid he will perish.
"Could it be..." Xu Ziyan's brows were twisted into twists, because he suddenly remembered a plot in that novel.
That was a Jindan cultivator that Bai Hua met in a secret realm. At that time, Baihua was also a Jindan cultivation base, so the two sides were peers. At first, the old man behaved very kindly, and Bai Hua also behaved very respectfully. Later, when the two were fighting a monster in the late stage of Jindan, Bai Hua was injured a little. After the old man accidentally touched a drop of Bai Hua's blood, it turned out to be very strange.
When they faced a dangerous institution again, the old man suddenly turned his face and attacked and seriously injured Bai Hua. At the same time, according to the villain's law, he did not kill Bai Hua at the first time, but began to talk about why he did it...
It turned out that this white birch turned out to be the great-grandson of the old man who did not know how many generations, and the reason why the old man came to this secret realm was because his lifespan was about to expire, and he had to come to this secret realm to take risks and seek opportunities.
If that's the case, Bai Hua and the old man's cooperation can be considered to complement each other, but the old man once saw a secret method in a hidden tomb, and this secret method is to break through the existing realm by refining his blood relatives.
At that time, the old man's relatives were already dead, so he didn't take it to heart. Now that his lifespan was about to end, he happened to meet a descendant of his own blood. How could he not be ecstatic
This is simply the opportunity presented to him, the opportunity leading to the Yuan Ying Avenue!
The old man said that he was excited and danced with joy. He didn't expect that although Bai Hua was seriously injured, how could he easily die with the protection of the protagonist's halo? He activated the dragon-shaped jade pendant that could only be used once a day to suppress the real dragon. This blow contained the power of the Nascent Soul cultivator. All of a sudden, the old man vomited blood and fell into the same trap as Bai Hua.
Of course, Bai Hua would not let this opportunity go, and the old man was dealt with cleanly with a single sword. At this time, Mo Ziyuan, who had left because of his quarrel with Bai Hua, also came back. Seeing Bai Hua seriously injured, he was almost scared out of his wits. Never mention the topic of letting Bai Hua leave Lin Xiaotian again.
This episode is also very important in the novel, because through this fright, Mo Ziyuan agreed to share the white birch with Lin Xiaotian, and laid a foreshadowing for the appearance of Xu Ziyan in the future.
The reason why Xu Ziyan suddenly thought of this paragraph is precisely because the novel described it in great detail. The old man said that when he entered the tomb, there were three people in total, besides him there were two others. Famous monk, and although this secret method is evil, using blood relatives to cultivate, but there are also many restrictions, one of which is that the blood relatives must be direct blood relatives, and they must be able to match his blood, the most important point is that there must be spirituality root, and the higher the cultivation, the better.
It is precisely because of so many restrictions that he was so pleasantly surprised when he met a Bai Hua who could let him practice secret techniques in the secret realm.
Now, the more Xu Ziyan analyzes, the more he thinks that the ancestor of the Yuan family is very suspicious. In the same late stage of Jindan, the same Shouyuan is not too eager to break through. The only difference is that his direct bloodline is very easy to find. The eldest young master is honestly staying at Yuan's house.
Combined with the rumors from the Yuan family that they want the Xu family to ascend to the immortal stage to restore the spiritual roots of the eldest young master, the more Xu Ziyan analyzes, the more like...
The dying cultivator had the only chance, but this chance was abolished again. If he wanted to survive, he must first save the great-grandson, and the Xu family's ascension to the immortal rank became his only hope.
Xu Ziyan told Xu Xiaoyi that he had revised his inferences, and Xu Xiao's face suddenly became serious.
Fighting with a family is two completely different concepts from fighting with a family that does not hesitate to do any damage.
If the Jindan ancestor was willing to gamble with the entire Yuan family in order to prolong his life, whether the Xu family could stop it is really a question.
As the saying goes, the underdog must win, the ancestor has regarded the Xu family as his only hope, how could it be possible for the Xu family to leave safely
In modern terms, Xu Xiao always thought that the Yuan family wanted to fight a rout, but as everyone knew, they wanted to fight a war of annihilation...
Xu Ziyan finally knew what the Yuan family was relying on... It turned out to be desperate efforts at all costs!
Xu Xiao's expression was solemn, and he thought carefully about the situation at this time.
Although Zi Yan's conjecture might not be correct, he was prepared for anything. He always had to consider the worst-case scenario, so as to be safe.
"Humph! Does the Yuan family think that my Xu family is a soft persimmon? Let them knead it!" Xu Xiao snorted angrily, and his teacup was crushed into powder with a snap. "I can't tell, I have to use some things left by my ancestors."
Xu Ziyan's heart moved, and he suddenly remembered the jade pendant that he had put in Fang Gejun.
The earliest source of the Xu family should be a certain super region. Even if the one that was driven out was not prosperous, it would still have some good things in hand. The mysterious magic circle that was opened at this time can be seen!
If the Jindan ancestor just regarded the Xu family as an ordinary small family, he would suffer a big loss, but Xu Ziyan was so happy, and with the Yuan family as an example, if anyone wants to attack the Xu family in the future, I am afraid they will have to think about it. Fan!
"Enemy attack!" A hoarse roar resounded through the night sky.
Immediately following a loud bang, the gate of the Xu family was split open by a golden sword light.
"Xu Xiao child, don't come out and die!" A middle-aged monk with red hair and white robe stood up in the sky, who was the current owner of the Yuan family, Yuan Feng, a middle-level monk in Jindan.
"As the head of the family, how can you act rashly, let the old man come to meet you." An old voice came from the Tibetan Sutra Pavilion in the backyard, and the worshiper Luo Lao who lived in the Xu family walked out slowly.
As he stepped forward step by step, his old body began to become tall and straight, and the leisurely demeanor that was always a master in normal times disappeared little by little, and his whole body exuded a domineering and fierce aura. At this time, Lao Lao did not want to be a Taoist monk, but instead looked like a general who was killed on the battlefield!
"What a domineering spiritual power!" Yuan Feng couldn't help but exclaimed.
