“Thank you aunt, we know.”
“Well, since you are passing by, better go quickly. These two days seem to be fragile. Since the two sides fought a battle three days ago, this Yuan family have become more and more arrogant, I think the Xu family seems to be unlucky. You monks passing by should be careful not to be arrested by the Yuan family"
Xu Ziyan’s eyes flashed: “Auntie, what’s the matter with Zhuang Ding?”
The aunt looked around carefully and lowered her voice: “This is what my son witnessed. Some monks passing by were captured by the Yuan family. Later, for their freedom, they had to help them fight the Xu family. Otherwise, the Xu family would not have been defeated so easily. You still have to be careful or you will be forced to fight life and death for them at any time for no reason so it’s better to urge you to leave. “
“Aunt, thank you for your reminder, we will be careful.” Xu Ziyan comforted the aunt with a smile, and then gave her a piece of inferior spirit stone.
The aunt smiled and walked away with two spirit stones. These were two spirit stones. If they were replaced with silver, it will be enough for her family to live for two years! She got this after only answering some questions, which is really cost-effective!
“Brother Zi Yan …” Jiang Ying’s words came out, and he felt the coldness in his back. This title was set by Xu Ziyan. He didn’t want Jiang Ying to call him “the master’s brother”. However, Xu Zirong didn’t seem to like this title, but under the high pressure of Xu Ziyan, he could only recognize it reluctantly.
Jiang Ying’s reaction was noticed by Xu Ziyan and he immediately cast a threatening sight on Xu Zirong.
Xu Zirong: …
“Ziyan, are we going back to your house now or not?”
“Let’s not go back now. Let’s look at it first and wait. At night, Zi Rong and I will quietly go back through the back mountain.”
“Alright, let’s go to the inn now?”
Xu Ziyan thought for a while: “Forget it, listening to the aunt’s information, this Yuan family will soon fight our family. At this time, once the monk progresses, it will definitely attract the attention of the two.” He looked at Zirong.
Xu Zirong shook his head: “No one is staring at us, maybe both sides are now evenly matched, so no one will dare to come out alone, afraid of being attacked. But if we live in the inn, it will be difficult to hide.”
“Since this is the case … let’s go out of the city first, find a quiet place to wait, and then go home at night.”
“Okay.”
The agreement was reached, and the group went back along the way. When passing the city gates, Xu Zirong frowned slightly, his fingertips flew, and a drop of blood shot at a skylark in the air. The skylark fell in response. In a large courtyard in the east of the city, a middle-aged man groaned and spit out blood.
“What’s going on?” The middle-aged man was injured and was quickly reported to the patriarch of the Yuan family. An old man with silver hair quickly rushed over and asked the middle-aged man.
“Elder Qijun, I put a spy out to patrol the city today, but I didn’t expect to see a few strange monks at the gate. Those people were strange and one of them soon discovered me. My spy was killed" The middle-aged man said respectfully.
“Huh? Unfamiliar monk? Could it be they want to help the Xu family?” The old man’s eyes flashed sharply.
“I don’t know. My spies only sees that there are about four of them but they are going in the direction out of town. They may have heard about what happened here“
“Huh, whether it’s passing by or not, since coming to this Moxin City, they must respect the Yuanjia! Go up and invite those guests here. “
The middle-aged man looked at the old man again and again, and finally sighed silently without saying a word. He disagreed with the old man’s forcible arrest of monks, but in the Yuan family, he was just a servant, and he couldn't go against the elders of Yuan’s family.
The middle-aged man silently watched a sturdy big man bring in four monks from the condensed veins to the old man. Most of them haunted around the Moxin City, some of them were wandering cultivators under the foundation. Yuan Qi is already very skilled in doing this kind of thing, but he still keeps his vigilance, and even brings four monks of the condensed vein period to him.
The silver-haired old man is very satisfied with Yuan Qi’s cautious attitude. After all, the war is imminent. If the monks in the foundation period are out of the city, there may be in danger of being ambushed by the Xu family. But there is nothing wrong with the monks during the congealing period. After all, the Xu family had only two Jindan monks. One of them is the Xu family sect leader who had just broken through Jin Dan two years ago. He is unlikely to go out and attack the Yuanjia monks.
“Go.” The silver-haired old man waved his hand: “Let the monks in these small places witness the power of my Yuan family and serve my Yuan family. It is a blessing they have cultivated in their lifetime!”
Yuan Qi arched his hand and left with four monks.
The silver-haired old man encouraged the middle-aged man to leave. As he left, the middle-aged man looked at the back of the silver-haired old man and couldn’t help but helplessly smile secretly. When he chose Yuanjia as the place to stay, did he choose the wrong one?

“Someone has been spying at us.” Xu Ziyan has the broadest sense, and soon found the monk who who was spying on them was from the Yuan family.
“This Yuan family is really rampant, we acted like we were are leaving, yet they even have to follow us?” Jiang Ying rubbed his chin, slightly surprised.
Xu Zirong sneered: “If they are willing to come, let them. We'll just solve them in advance.”
Xu Ziyan didn’t say anything, but judging from his expression, he clearly agreed with Xu Zirong. He and Xu Xiao may not have a father-son relationship, but the other has never been less material than him. Regardless of their father and son feelings, he is also grateful to the Xu family. Naturally, he couldn't tolerate others bullying the Xu family.
Yuan Qi found the monks and sent his sword in the direction that the strange monks left.
His two thick brows were knitted, and now he knew the battle with the Xu family is imminent, but yet, the elders let him come out to perform such little tasks, he inevitably had some resentment in his heart.
As one of the Yuan family’s children, he also owned the Yuan family ’s inheritance rights. But everyone knew that the patriarch ’s son-in-law was a useless fellow who had already destroyed the root of his spirit foundation. Almost every young disciple of these branches was eager to take his place making no secret of their ambitions.
Yuan Qi was naturally one of them, and he also knew that the elder’s nephew was his strongest competition. Now the elder sent him to carry out such a task, yet he did not want him to handle the Xu family.
“Hmph.” Yuan Qi snorted coldly, and suddenly stopped flying.
The four monks following him stopped looking at Yuan Qi with confusion.
“Master, what’s wrong?” The man who was able to come out with Yuan Qi to perform the task and was naturally his confidant asked in a low voice.
“Lao Tzu is just unhappy that old thing sent us out here” Yuan Qi did not conceal his dissatisfaction with the silver-haired old man as he cursed wildly.
The man beside him was silent for a moment: “The master didn't have a say. After all, he was the patriarch’s confidant, and the command to arrest and repair the casual cultivators were given by the ancestor.”
When mentioning the ancestors, Yuan Qi ’s face showed a fearful expression: “But the ancestors let us catch the rogue cultivators in the city, in other to prevent them from being used by the Xu family, but these people are obviously not a threat so why are we bothering them if they want to leave?" The man smiled bitterly and touched his nose before speaking.
Yuan Qi couldn’t help but spit out bitterly: “All these started because the main branch at the beginning offended the young master of the Luoyumen, so we lost most of our Yuan family’s savings as a result and came to this Moxin City. We didn't know if we could be able to redevelop ourselves in this city. And I also don’t know why the patriarch thought, it was okay to fight with the Xu family here? It ’s such a big town,“
“Maybe … the patriarch has his reasons.” The first man whispered.
“useless reasons., unless he discovered that the Xu family have something he wants … uh, what … what was that thing?”
“Dengxian Order.”
“Yeah, I don’t know where the king of the ascendant came from, and if the ascendant was stepped up by someone who doesn’t have a spirit root but it can spawn a spirit root. shit! if this is the case and gadget is so powerful why would the Xu family still be nestled in such an indefinite small town? If such an information is known to those big sect, it is either they would desperately try to bargain with the Xu family, or they would just forcibly take away their house and everything they owned. Neither happened so obviously the rumors were false. “
Yuan Qi was depressed, and he wondered where the wise and courageous patriarch went wrong for his stupid son to even believe such outrageous news?
Besides, his stupid son had abolished his roots, and would still be without roots, even if he finds the ascendant stage.
Yuan Qi sighed, grabbed his hair in annoyance, squatted on the Feijian silently, but did not issue a command to return, or to continue their pursuit
One of the monks who followed him whispered, “Master, are we still chasing?”
“Chasing, chasing, chasing, chasing is so useless. Lao Tzu is in no mood. We are not very far from the Xu family compound. What if we alert the Xu family then we all will have to die here. Later we will tell the leader that those group of monks ran into the Xu family, we can’t follow them there. “Yuan Qi said with a sad face.
The other monks looked at each other, saying nothing. They were all monks in Yuan Qi’s sect. Although they were not Yuans by blood, they had been imprinted with the Yuan Qi symbol on their bodies. They were all loyal so no one was worried that another person would betray.
“Well, they stopped.” Xu Ziyan in the distance saw through his consciousness that several of them suddenly stopped chasing after them and was talking among themselves so he was a little puzzled.
“What did they say?” Jiang Ying asked curiously.
Xu Ziyan shook his head. His consciousness was only from distant observation, so he did not dare to get too close. After all, the other party was also a monk in the condensed veins period.
After waiting for a while, the other party still hovered there, not leaving nor approaching.
“Did they find us?” Xu Ziyan looked at Xu Zirong suspiciously.
Xu Zirong thought about it and shook his head gently: “It’s impossible.”
He made this judgment based on the opponent’s cultivation behavior. The other party was just a monk in the early stage of condensed veins. The strength of his consciousness and thus, was far inferior to them. Coupled with the deliberate concealment of Xu Ziyan and others, they were unlikely to find them.
Besides, even if some of them really had any special skills and discovered their ambush ahead of time. if this is the case, they would either pretend to be indifferent and turn back to secretly figure out how to attack, or just retreat. What was the need to waste time here.
“They … left?” Xu Ziyan said with a cry of laughter.
The other three couldn’t help but look at each other. What was this Yuan family up to? Just got a bunch of people to chase after them, then make no move until they finally go back without saying any thing?
He couldn't figure it out …
“Forget it, no matter, what those Yuans are planning, let’s just find a place to rest then go home at night and check things out.” Xu Ziyan said helplessly.
He was too lazy to guess Yuan's plans. For now, he just wanted to know what really happened. Whether the news obtained from that maid’s mouth was true or false. The only certainty was that the Xu and Yuan families are fighting. Regardless of the reason for the fight, he would alway consider it from the perspective of the Xu family.
Xu Ziyan knew there was nothing like peaceful coexistence, sharing resources, etc In this cultivation world where there's temptation to be better than everyone.
He didn’t hear of any monk who could take the initiative to take all the treasures of heaven and earth.
Of course, if the two sides are of equal strength, it wouldn't be bad to share together, but this Yuan family only settled in Moxin City for a year and already they wanted to steal the Xu family's min. Was Mo Xin City about to change owners?
As he thought of this, he realized this was absolutely unbearable!
***
A day passed quickly. After night came, Xu Ziyan and the others quietly entered the Xujiahoushan.
The back hill of the Xu family was next to a sea of forest, and that sea of forest was a good place for the children of the Xu family to practice.
Xu Ziyan had also been in and out of this forest countless times. He was naturally very familiar with this place. He went around the cliff and found the back of Lianwutang’s mountain.
Looking at the towering rock, Xu Ziyan couldn’t help but feel very emotional. When he and Zirong first slid down the rope for the first time, it seemed that they were only twelve years old. In an instant, more than nine years have passed. At that time, Zirong, who was only eight years old, is now an adult, and time flies.
With Jiang Ying, they bypassed the cliff and walked down the path to the back door of Xu’s house. Xu Ziyan felt something was amiss and stopped the hand that was about to knock on the door.
“What’s wrong?” Xu Zirong asked.
Xu Ziyan touched his chin: “Almost one acre of land around Moxin City is under the control of our Xu family. It stands to reason that if a mineral vein is discovered, there is no reason for the Yuan family to know that, after all It's only been a year since they first arrived. Why is it so coincident that they know about the veins of our Xu family? ”
Xu Zirong’s eyes flickered: “Could there be a traitor?”
“Who knows, be careful, we may be wrong.” Xu Ziyan shrugged and let Jiang Ying hide them first, then under the cover of Fang Gejun, they quietly jumped over the wall and entered the Xu Family Courtyard.
It was a familiar environment but with a different atmosphere. The Xu Family Courtyard today waa very nervous because of the upcoming war. Almost every few steps, there were monks guarding in the dark. It seemed that the Xu family was very afraid of the Yuan family’s forces, otherwise it would not launch so many people to prevent the other party from attacking.
Xu Ziyan sneaked into Xu Xiao ’s courtyard quietly. He had not returned here for more than six years, so he kept feeling like he was in a trance.
“Who is there?” A voice shouted, and a golden light broke through the window.
Xu Ziyan was shocked and quickly escaped sideways, whispering: “Father, it’s me.”
“Zi Yan?” Xu Xiao walked out of the study, a pair of sharp eagle eyes searched him.
Watching his son appear in front of him in this way, Xu Xiao felt like it was a dream. Shouldn’t he be practicing in the Liuguang Sect? Why did he come back suddenly?
“You!” After only a few glances, Xu Xiao’s expression changed greatly. He walked over quickly and raised his hand and grasped Xu Ziyan’s vein.
Xu Ziyan forcibly restrained the urge to fight back, and kept telling himself in his heart that this was his father, cough, at least his physical father, maybe he has no relationship with him, but at least he is also the person in charge of him. And he couldn't hurt his son, so-he shouldn't be nervous, shouldn't overreact, shouldn't let the purple night thunder get out, or it wouldn't be funny.
After repeating his thoughts again and again in his head, he didn’t really make attack Xu Xiao. Despite the fact that Xu Xiao was a Jin Dan’s early cultivation, to Xu Ziyan, he was afraid it wasn't much of an achievement.
Xu Xiao’s spiritual power swam along the meridian inside Xu Ziyan until he confirmed that there were indeed no hidden dangers in his body. Then he stepped back.
His gaze on Xu Ziyan is incredible: “You are already in the late condensed veins? How did you cultivate so fast?” Just after he finished speaking, he didn’t wait for Xu Ziyan to answer, when suddenly his face sank: ” Why did n’t you resist when I grabbed your pulse just now? “
Xu Ziyan: …
Xu Xiao said with a cold face: “You know, the pulse is the lifeblood of the monk, even if I am your father, you can’t touch let me touch it easily! Do you know how many people in this cultivation world betray each other because of a little benefit? How can you guarantee that Dad won’t hurt on you? “
Xu Ziyan: …
Xu Xiao continued to blame: “Even if Dad doesn’t hurt you, how can you not be defensive? What if Dad is controlled? Do you know how many people can control people in this world? If you don't even know this, how can you afford to be the owner of the Xu family? “
He said in a serious way: “Zi Yan, you are not small anymore, how can you be as unguarded as if you were a kid? Remember, from now on, no matter whether it is dad or other people, you must not be easily let them pinch your pulse, you understand! “At the end of his sentence, Xu Xiao’s tone became very harsh.
Xu Ziyan couldn’t help but nod silently.
Well, although Xu Xiao was not a good father, at least he was a responsible father.
He does n’t want to look for excuses for him anymore. He even doubts whether Xu Xiao understands what emotions are?
After scolding Xu Ziyan, Xu Xiao frowned: “why did you come back from the Liuguang Sect? But what happened?”
Xu Ziyan shook his head and only said that he was at Wuxui city but encountered an accident. After dealing with the situation, they decided to come back home to take a look.
Xu Xiao’s heart was moved: “Wu Cui City? But some time ago, Wu Cui City that was infested with monsters and beasts”
Xu Ziyan suddenly felt that from the time they were pulled into Yan prison magic realm, it had already been several months since the monster besieged the city. Obviously, it was not a trivial matter so the news must have spread.
He nodded, and Xu Xiao’s eyes flashed a bit of worry, but his face did not show it at all: “Did you have any injury?”
“No.” Xu Ziyan shook his head.
Xu Xiao nodded: “Since you came back, why don't i see your brother?” He still remembers the little child who was cold-faced all day long, but liked to follow Ziyan. Speaking of which, he had wanted to let that little child become Ziyan's whetstone. Unexpectedly, now it seemed that he had become Zirong’s help.
Although the child didn’t please him, especially because of his mother. He was a little bit disgusted with him, but after all, he also had his own blood, so he had to ask about him.
“Zi Rong is outside the door and there are also two of our friends with him.” Xu Ziyan explained.
