C337 Anxiety

Xu Sanniang was dead!

In the midst of this tragedy that shook the entire Jade Province's cultivation world, Xu Sanniang was dragged into a chaotic battle to protect a few disciples of the Xu family. She was heavily injured in the chaos and finally killed by a Yu Family cultivator with bloodshot eyes.

In this opening ceremony of Hundred Sparrow Mountain, the Xu family originally did not have the qualifications, but the Yang family, as a new Prominent Class family, was only given seven slots, which was also considered a small number among the few clans in Mengyu County. Firstly, the Yang family was a new rising star, and secondly, the Yang family was not without hints from the county magistrate, due to the relationship between Chen Ji and Yang Junshan.

Because Yang Tian had just understood this hint, and because Yang Junshan had reminded him, and also because the Yang Family had very few children of appropriate age in the past two years, and also because two years ago during the process of exterminating the locust swarm, the Yang Family had obtained more than thirty immortal spirits. Although most of them were only of low quality, few were of medium quality, and none were of high quality, but within a short period of time, the Yang Family had no lack of immortal spirits.

This was the chance to obtain high-grade immortal spirits, and even low-grade ones would be much better off. The four clans naturally weren't willing to let go of this chance and chose the most outstanding cultivators to head to the Hundred Sparrow Mountain.

First, the clan's smallest blacksmith Zhang gave his spot to Xu Sanniang. Then, for some reason, Li Shaoqun gave up his third spot. Therefore, this time, the Xu Family also sent out three cultivators of appropriate age.

Since they had chosen a candidate to go to the Hundred Sparrow Mountain, Yang Tian had planned to have Su Baozhang lead the way. However, perhaps it was because the Xu family had three cultivators of appropriate age heading to the Hundred Sparrow Mountain, Xu Sanniang had also requested to go with them.

Since there was an experienced person like Xu Sanniang who took the initiative to go over, Yang Tian immediately sent Su Bao Zhang to deliver the goods. Unexpectedly, something like this happened in the Hundred Sparrow Mountain.

Although Yang Tian had originally sensed that the Hundred Sparrow Mountain might have changed this time, he had only guessed that these youngsters of the same age would start a massacre against the Xiong and Yu Families in the Hundred Sparrow Mountain. He hadn't expected that things would lose control in the end, and in the end, a bloodbath would take place outside the Hundred Sparrow Mountain!

In fact, it was not only Yang Tian who found it hard to believe. Even the mastermind, Daoist Master Chen Ji, did not expect things to turn out like this. Dozens of young cultivators were massacred, to the point that he rushed to the scene the moment he received the news.

Although the county magistrate's side had done it to the last man, the effect was truly good!

At any time, the younger generation of Chen Ji's family would always be under the control of their own family. Spiritual Master Chen Ji initially wanted to create conflict between the forces of Xiong and Yu family by entering the Hundred Peacock Mountain, but in the end, because of the massacre of the younger generation of the two martial artists, the relationship between Xiong and Yu family would become a blood feud. Moreover, it would never be resolved!

In the beginning, everyone was in the middle of the situation. However, when the final anger finally dissipated and everyone calmed down and recalled what had happened, the county magistrate's side, led by Daoist Master Chen Ji, had to firmly fix them in the shame pillar.

It was true that the Xiong and Yu Families and the forces in Mengyu County were like fire and water, but the county magistrate court had also become the murderer!

No wonder Adept Chen Ji was so angry. Most likely, it wasn't just because of the young cultivators being slaughtered!

Speaking of Xishan Village's loss at the Hundred Sparrow Mountain, other than the leader of the Xu family who lost one of her warriors to the second level of the Martial Disciple realm, three of the seven suitable cultivators either returned, one from the Yang family, one from the Xu family, and one from the Shi family. However, this child was extremely scared and had nightmares the entire way back.

Along with this message from the Hundred Sparrow Mountain came a secret letter that Yang Tian had just written in a secret language. Yang Junshan carefully checked it and then called Lin Chengzi and Zhang Jianji over to write something down, allowing them to quietly leave the Sunset Mountains mine that night.

At the border between the county city and Wasteland Town, there was a huge manor, near the manager of the manor there were dozens of fields, and in this manor, there were at least ten acres of spirit farmland. Different spirit crops were planted there, and the one that was planted the most was naturally the Spirit Valley.

Xu Lei was a deacon in this Yu Family's villa, and this huge manor was naturally the property of the Yu Family.

It was precisely because Xu Lei was young that she knew how to work hard and was favored by the fourth steward. Also, Xu Lei was born from an upside-down son of the Yu Family, so she was barely half a member of the Yu Family. When the fourth steward of the Yu Family was not around, he could be the owner of half of this manor.

On this day, after the Spirit Farmer in the command mansion dealt with the weeds in the spirit farm, Xu Lei felt that her mind didn't belong to him, and her heart was beating really hard, as if something big was going to happen.

He went back to his residence and poured himself a cup of hot water. After calming down a bit, he heard footsteps outside the house and a servant's voice outside the door said: "Deacon Xu, your family is outside the manor looking for you!"

Xu Lei's heart thumped, as if something was about to come true. However, after this sudden heartbeat, he no longer had the previous restlessness and uneasiness, his entire person actually quickly calmed down: "Oh okay, I got it, bring him to the side yard, I'll see him there!"

Xu Lei tidied up her clothes, and when she arrived at the side yard, she saw a person walking in circles like an ant on a hot pan. Xu Lei's vision was sharp, and she saw that the person's forehead was covered densely in beads of sweat, but the person didn't seem to feel anything.

"Fourth uncle, what happened to you? Did something happen at home?" Xu Lei greeted him and quickly walked over.

Seeing that Xu Lei was still unharmed and had arrived in front of him, Xu Siqun's face flashed with happiness, but immediately revealed a hint of grief. However, the strange thing was that she immediately restrained herself, but this time, he had time to wipe the sweat off her forehead, cold sweat!

Xu SiKun pulled his hand and said, "Xiao Lei, we finally found you. Your mother is sick. Come with me to see him!"

Xu Lei was surprised as she felt Xu Sikun pull her hand forward, but her expression didn't change. She quickly stopped Xu Sikun and asked, "Fourth uncle, don't be busy. What disease did my mother have? How is he now?"

Xu Siqun couldn't wait to leave the Yu Family villa. She didn't say anything else and dragged him along. Then, she looked around and said, "Come back with me first. We'll talk after we leave this place."

At this time, Xu Lei's mind was abnormally clear. He had a hunch that something big had happened at home, and seeing how anxious and unwilling Fourth Uncle was to explain the whole situation, it was obvious that she wasn't on guard against him, but rather the Yu Family.

Fourth uncle and his mother were siblings, and besides his mother, he was the most intimate person in this world. He would never lie to himself!1

At this time, Xu Lei also said loudly: "Fourth Uncle, I'm on duty at the Yu Family right now, so I can't just leave without saying goodbye. At the very least, I have to go and ask for a leave!"

Xu Siqun regained her senses. She knew that if she just left like this, the Yu Family wouldn't suspect him. She forced a smile and said, "Go, quickly!"

Xu Lei called over a manservant and told him to go with another deacon in the manor who was on good terms with him. He wanted him to ask for a price for himself when the fourth steward came back, so he needed to return to his hometown.

A moment later, the two of them rode the Hunchbacked Beast out of the manor and ran towards the southeast. Xu Sikun didn't say a word while sitting on the back of the Hunchbacked Beast, and even though Xu Lei wanted to ask, he didn't dare to ask too much.

The uncle and nephew duo ran for a few kilometers before a heart-wrenching howl came from the sky.

Not long after Xu Lei and her nephew had left, another group of men from the Yu Family came running back. The leader of the group was an old man with a powerful aura. He was a late stage Martial Disciple.

"Master Steward, you're back!"

The old man jumped down from the packhorse beast and threw the horse rope to the coachman that came to welcome him. He glanced at the two stewards standing by the side and his face immediately became gloomy: "Where's Xu Lei, why didn't she come? Tell him to come and meet me!"

One of the deacons stepped forward to report, "Sir Butler, someone from Xu Lei's family came and said that her mother was severely ill. He couldn't wait for the lord to come back, so she went back to her hometown!"

"What? He left?" The fourth steward was infuriated. He grabbed the reins back from the groom's hands and jumped onto his horse: "When did you leave? How did you do it? Tell me quickly …"

"Xiao Lei, you must grieve. Right now, you're the only Martial Disciple left in the Xu family. If anything happens to you, our Xu family will be finished!"

Xu Siqun looked worriedly at his nephew, who only knew how to beat up a Hunting Horse Beast, and tried to console him.

The tears in her eyes had long since been dried by the strong wind. Xu Lei forcefully endured the grief in her heart, wanting to return home as soon as possible to see her mother, even if it was just a corpse!

The Yu Family, the Yu Family, how could they be the Yu Family …

The uncle and nephew duo did not dare to stop for a moment. Within four hours, the outline of the county could be seen in the distance.

At this time, Xu Sikun said: "Xiao Lei, we need to spare the county city. The Yu family might already know that you have left. There are people in the county city. If we stop in the county city …"

"No! We have to go to the county city! It's a matter of life and death for the Xu Clan!" Xu Lei felt that she had never been so calm before.
