"Zhang Qingquan didn't say much to me when she left. However, I have worked with her for decades and know her character well. She has been frowning for the past few days, so I knew she must Something happened. When she left the Star Dou Palace, she was in a bad mood, and said that she might never return to the Star Dou Palace. I also thought about it for a long, long time before I mentioned this to the Elder Elder. I think only the Elder Only adults can help Zhang Qingquan."
In front of Xia Yan, Cailin's delicate face was slightly nervous at first, and her speech was not fluent. But in the end, that trace of nervousness turned into worry. It could be seen that Cailin was really worried about Zhang Qingquan from the bottom of her heart.
Hearing this, the old face of the elder examiner turned purple, looking embarrassed. Because, he knew very well that with his own strength and status, he might not be able to help Zhang Qingquan. Moreover, if it wasn't for the relationship between Xia Yan and Zhang Qingquan, it would be difficult for him to take this matter to heart.
"Lord Xia Yan, can you help Zhang Qingquan?!"
Seeing that Xia Yan didn't respond immediately, Cailin blinked her big eyes and asked nervously again.
"I will visit Zhang Qingquan's family!" Xia Yan nodded, "When I first entered the Hall of Stars, my only friend was Zhang Qingquan. The first yuan pill I consumed in cultivation was also given to me by Zhang Qingquan If Zhang Qingquan is in trouble, I will definitely help."
Xia Yan said that directly, his eyes fixed, "So, I will go to her family to see!"
"Jade Dragon District... Star Dou City is extremely huge. A Jade Dragon District may cover a very large area. Zhang Qingquan's family is just a small family. I'm afraid it will take me a lot of time to find it." Xia Yan's thoughts turned in his mind , the eyebrows could not help but tangle, and immediately, his eyes lit up slightly again, and he looked at the elder examiner.
"Elder, do you know the exact location of Zhang Qingquan's family? I only know that it is in Yulong District, but Yulong District is such a large area, and the Zhang family is one of hundreds of small families." Xia Yan looked at the elder who was examining, He shook his head and said.
"Lord Xia Yan, this is simple!" The examiner elder heard the words, his eyes flashed, and he said, "Hey, the data management office of the Star Dou Palace Examination Institute stores more than just the information of Star Dou Palace practitioners. In Star Dou City, everyone Families, big and small, all have records. Moreover, every hundred years, they will be reorganized."
"Cailin, immediately order someone to look up all the information about the Zhang family in Yulong District of Star Dou City!" the elder examiner ordered Cailin who was on the side.
"Yes, my lord elder!" Cailin responded, then turned around and left quickly.
In less than a stick of incense, Xia Yan saw the information of all the Zhang families in Yulong District. In Yulong District, there are seven Zhang family families. One of these seven families only appeared a hundred years ago, so it is obviously impossible to be related to Zhang Qingquan's family. Of the remaining six, two have a long history and are unlikely to be related to Zhang Qingquan's family.
Zhang Qingquan once told Xia Yan about some things about his family. Xia Yan guessed that Zhang Qingquan's family existed for tens of thousands of years at most, and it could not be too long.
"There are still four families left, so I need to investigate one by one. However, I already know the location of these four families, and it should be soon!" Xia Yan read the stack of documents in his hand, and he already had the information in his heart. Decide.
Yulong District covers an area of hundreds of thousands of square kilometers and houses hundreds of families, large and small. And some practitioners who live here are more like stars. Many cultivators practice alone, and there are only some servants in the residence. However, even among these casual cultivators, there are many who are strong in the realm of gods.
When Xia Yan left the examination institute, he left some yuan pills behind and casually gave them to Cailin and the examination elders.
…
In a large courtyard in Yulong District, a strong sense of oppression filled every corner of this relatively large courtyard. Many servants of lower strength were actually packing their bags, as if they were about to move and leave here.
And in a room, several middle-aged cultivators of ordinary human beings sat with worried eyes.
In the entire room, no one spoke, it was very silent. Even the breathing of a few people was barely audible. Outside, occasionally there were one or two shouts coming in.
In this way, tea time has passed.
A middle-aged man sitting on the left rolled his eyes, finally couldn't help sighing, and said in a heavy voice, "Brother, I think there is no hope. If the Xu family is willing to help us, there is already news. Today , is the deadline given by the Hong family for us to relocate. In another three hours, if my Zhang family’s children still stay in this courtyard, they will all be slaughtered by them.”
"Go, or not!" A long-haired man sitting next to this man also said a word.
"Patriarch, the Hong family is backed by the Tan family, and the Xu family may not be able to do anything!" An older cultivator shook his head and sighed. Then he said something to the man sitting at the top. This person is Zhang Shan, the head of the Zhang family.
Several other people also looked at the patriarch Zhang Shan, showing anxiety. They only have three hours left now, if they stay in this Zhang family courtyard within three hours, they will be massacred by the powerful members of the Hong family.
"call!"
Zhang Shan took a deep breath, his body moved slightly, and his eyes swept over the faces of everyone in the room.
"Our Zhang family has been established in Star Dou City for more than 30,000 years since our grandfather, and today we are about to be destroyed!" Zhang Shan's low voice reached everyone's ears, "A few days ago, my grandfather was in the city. After being killed outside, the Hong family issued an ultimatum to my Zhang family, requiring us to move out of Star Dou City within three days, or we will be shot to death!"
"Can't you see it? Even if we really move out of Star Dou City, we will be chased and killed outside the city after leaving the city, and they won't have any restraints!" Zhang Shan's eyes condensed and his voice stern. , the momentum of the whole body, at this time, naturally exudes a majesty.
"Xu Youguang from the Xu family, and I have been friends for thousands of years. We have experienced life and death together. I don't believe that he will stand by!" Zhang Shan turned his eyes, took a breath and said in a low voice.
"If we don't leave, the Hong family will definitely do it too." The gray-robed man frowned.
"Wait a little longer!" Zhang Shan sighed secretly, then slowly closed his eyes. Although the children of the family have not yet made the final decision to relocate, most of the servants in the family have been evacuated and sent away.
The Xu family Zhang Shan mentioned was a big family in Yulong District. Although it is not as big as the Tan family's giant, but compared to the Zhang family and the Hong family, it is many times stronger. If the Xu family is really willing to help the Zhang family at all costs, then things may turn around.
A few days ago, Zhang's family discovered a treasure in a wild area outside Star Dou City. Coincidentally, there were even Hong family's children around at that time. In order to compete for this treasure, the two sides immediately fought. The Zhang family and the Hong family originally had a deep hatred, but this time the treasure has undoubtedly become the fuse.
The ancestor of the Zhang family, the only one who was strong in the realm of gods, also rushed out of the city at that time, but was killed on the spot by a stronger practitioner. Zhang Shan guessed that this person was a helper of the Hong family, most likely an elder of the Tan family.
The only god of the Zhang family, that is, the cultivator who established the Zhang family died outside the city. The status of the Zhang family in Star Dou City is naturally in jeopardy. Three days ago, the Hong family even sent someone directly to the Zhang family and issued an ultimatum, ordering the Zhang family to leave Star Dou City within three days.
After leaving Star Dou City, the Zhang family could only choose a region outside the city and establish a tribe. However, Zhang Shan knew very well that the Hong family would definitely kill the grass, and if the Zhang family really left Star Dou City, they would be hunted down immediately. However, if they did not leave Star Dou City, they would also be massacred.
In the city, although there are rules that do not allow random killings, if the Hong family has the support of the Tan family, then even if they kill all the members of the Zhang family, there will be no big problem.
You know, the Tan family is the boss of Yulong District, and has a deep relationship with several giants in Wanzhonglou. The ancestor of the Tan family is an old monster who has cultivated for hundreds of thousands of years, and his strength is unfathomable.
"Master Patriarch!"
At this moment, a voice sounded outside the door, it was the guard of the Zhang family.
Hearing the voice, Zhang Shan's eyes suddenly opened, "What's the matter?!"
"Master Hui, an adult from the Xu family has just arrived at our Zhang family, and he has already arrived in the inner courtyard." The guard outside the door said in a hurried voice.
"Huh?!" Zhang Shan's face immediately showed joy.
"Haha, someone from the Xu family is here!" The black-robed man stood up and laughed loudly after being taken aback for a moment.
"The Xu family, you really haven't given up on our Zhang family!" The older man nodded and said with a sigh of relief.
The members of the Xu family finally came. Everyone in the room looked at each other, and there was obviously joy in their eyes, and they opened their mouths to make surprise sounds.
"Let's go, the people we are going to greet Xu's family don't know... who is here!" Zhang Shan quickly got up and walked out of the room. A group of people walked out of the yard.
Just outside the courtyard, I saw a yellow-robed cultivator walking quickly under the guidance of the Zhang family's guards.
"Huh? It turned out that Xu Youliang came in person!" This person was Xu Youliang from the Xu family. Seeing Xu Youliang, Zhang Shan couldn't help turning his thoughts to himself.
"Zhang Shan."
Xu Youliang also saw Zhang Shan, the patriarch of the Zhang family, who didn't even address the patriarch, and just called out his name in a hurry, with an angry and livid face.
Seeing such an expression, Zhang Shan's heart that had just been let go suddenly hung up again.
"Did the Xu family really abandon the Zhang family? For so many years, the Zhang family has always followed the Xu family!" In Zhang Shan's heart, the intervention of the Xu family to help the Zhang family is the last hope for the Zhang family to survive. If the Xu family is ignored, then the Zhang family may be doomed to perish today.
