"The head of the family, the Yin Ming Sect's stronghold in the capital, was bloodbathed by an unknown strongman... Deputy sect leaders Zhou Shu, Tan Chi, and two Yin Ming Sect elders were all killed."
As soon as Situ Hou came in, he spoke directly to Situ Hao, speaking very fast.
And there was a bit of joy in his tone.
The Yinming Sect, to a certain extent, can be said to be on the opposite side of their lineage.
This blow to the Yin Ming Sect is undoubtedly a good thing for their lineage.
After hearing what Situ Hou said, Situ Hao looked at his son 'Situ Hang', and Situ Hang happened to be looking at him.
At this moment, both father and son saw the same message in each other's eyes.
"Mr. Duan!"
The next moment, the two of them spoke almost in unison.
"Mr. Duan? What's wrong with Mr. Duan?"
When Situ Hou heard the two people's voices, he was also confused for a moment.
"Grandpa Hou, you just said... that the deputy master of Yinming Sect, 'Zhou Shu', is also dead?"
Situ Hang couldn't help but ask.
"Um."
Situ Hou nodded, "Zhou Shu is indeed dead, and it seems that his head was cut off directly... Many people are discussing that it should be a strong man in the holy realm who can kill Zhou Shu so easily. After all, Although Zhou Shu is only ranked 30th on the "Tianbang", that was more than ten years ago."
"The reason why Zhou Shu has stayed in this ranking is because he has not challenged the people at the top... His strength, many people have speculated, if it were placed on the current "Tian Ranking", he should be ranked at the top of the "Tian Ranking" ten."
Situhou continued.
"Yes, his strength is probably a bit stronger than that of Miss Feng from the Fuyan Sect."
Situ Hang nodded.
"It seems that Mr. Duan is really strong. Even Zhou Shu died in his hands."
Situ Hao sighed: "With Mr. Duan's strength, even if he reaches the top three in the "Tian Ranking", it won't be difficult at all."
"Um."
Situ Hang nodded, deeply convinced of this.
"What?!"
The speaker was unintentional, but the listener was intentional. When he heard Situ Hao's words, Situ Hou couldn't help but stare, "Master, you mean... the person who killed Zhou Shu was Mr. Duan?"
"Hang'er, tell Elder Hou what you just told me."
Situ Hao said to Situ Hang.
Soon, as Situ Hang spoke, Situ Hou also knew the whole story.
"Mr. Duan's senior brother and a group of Mr. Duan's friends were imprisoned by the Yinming Sect?"
Situ Hou frowned, "Logically speaking, we should help Mr. Duan in this matter no matter what... However, it is related to the Yin Ming Sect, but we cannot act rashly, otherwise the family may be turned upside down! Moreover, now With such a big thing happening in the Yinming Sect's stronghold in the capital, people from Situ Ming's lineage will most likely suspect our lineage."
"Even if they don't break up now, they will definitely keep an eye on us... If we help Mr. Duan and go to the Yin Ming Sect to ask for someone at this time, they are afraid they will completely break up and plunge our Situ family into civil war."
civil war!
These two words are tantamount to a disaster for a family like the Situ family.
In the history of Fufeng Kingdom, there were many seventh-rate forces that were no less powerful than the Situ family. Due to the civil war, they either collapsed and ceased to exist, or they became first-rate forces or even ninth-rate forces.
Therefore, no matter what force they are, they will try to avoid civil war as much as possible.
Just because, once a civil war comes to the end, it will definitely be a fight between the snipe and the clam, and the fisherman will gain!
Once a certain force is depleted by civil war, the forces that were previously hostile to it will definitely not miss the opportunity to add insult to injury.
"Mr. Duan will not let us interfere in this matter."
Situ Hang said again.
"Mr. Duan said he would give us a 'surprise'... Could it be that he was talking about killing Zhou Shu and others?"
Situ Hao said doubtfully.
"That should be it."
Situhou nodded.
"Such a big thing has happened in the Yinming Sect stronghold. Situ Ming's people will definitely go to investigate as soon as possible...Hang'er, go see if Mr. Duan is back."
Situ Hao said to Situ Hang.
Situ Hang responded and left.
At the same time, at the other end of Situ's house, there were many people gathered around in a spacious courtyard.
These people were headed by a middle-aged man.
If Duan Lingtian were here, he would definitely be able to recognize him at a glance. This person is none other than the second master of the Situ family, Situ Ming, who he had met before.
"Second Master, something big happened suddenly in the Yinming Sect's stronghold. I'm afraid it's not that simple... Do you think it was the family head's fault?"
An old man looked at Situ Ming and said.
"I also think it was the family head who took action... Otherwise, the Yinming Sect's stronghold has been in the capital for many years, so how could such a big incident suddenly happen?"
Another middle-aged man agreed.
"I don't think it's necessarily the action of the head of the family... maybe it's the action of the enemies of the Yinming Sect. After all, ten out of ten people in the Yinming Sect are demon cultivators, violent by nature, and they usually offend people. Maybe It happened to offend some powerful person and cause such a disaster."
A middle-aged scribe said in a timely manner, and after speaking, he seemed to be more sensible.
"It is indeed possible."
The middle-aged scribe's words were recognized by many people.
"Okay, stop arguing... This matter can be confirmed when the old man comes back."
Situ Ming frowned and interrupted everyone's discussion.
Situ Ming obviously had a certain degree of majesty in front of these people. As soon as he opened his mouth, the scene immediately fell silent, so quiet that even if you dropped a pin on the ground, you might be able to hear the sound clearly.
The 'middle elder' in Situ Ming's mouth is also the supreme elder of the Situ family, named Situ Zhong.
In the Situ family, he is as famous as Situ Hou.
A quarter of an hour later, a bald old man in gray clothes walked in from outside.
He has a pair of sharp eyes like an eagle and dove. Wherever his eyes pass, few people dare to look at him.
"Neither Situ Hao nor Situ Hou took action."
The bald old man was none other than Situ Zhong. As soon as he came in, he looked at Situ Ming and said.
Hearing Situ Zhong's words, Situ Ming nodded and took a breath.
"Hmph! It seems that the enemies provoked by the Yin Ming Sect are here... The Yin Ming Sect is really capable of causing trouble. It defeated Zhou Shu and other half-step Saint realm experts in one fell swoop. Without Zhou Shu, the Yin Ming Sect can only What rises?”
Soon, someone snorted and said.
For a time, voices of dissatisfaction arose one after another.
As members of Situ Ming's lineage and a core figure, they naturally knew the connection between the Yinming Sect and their lineage. They knew that their lineage and the Yinming Sect were in the same boat. The loss is also their loss.
"Okay, it's useless to talk about this now... The most urgent task is to find out who is at odds with the Yin Ming Sect."
Situ Ming said impatiently.
And just when Situ Ming's lineage was in a state of panic because of what happened at the Yinming Sect's stronghold, Duan Lingtian had already followed Baili Hong and arrived outside the Yinming Sect's base.
"Junior brother, what are your plans?"
Bailihong looked at Duan Lingtian and asked.
"Senior brother, wait for me here now... I will explore the way, and then come back with you to rescue Uncle Feng and the others."
Duan Lingtian said to Bailihong.
After saying that, without waiting for Bailihong's response, Duan Lingtian moved and disappeared in front of Bailihong, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
Seeing this, Bailihong couldn't help but smile bitterly, but he had no choice but to stay where he was and wait.
The Yin Ming Sect's residence was not covered by the 'Forbidden Sky Formation', so Duan Lingtian entered it like a fish in water. He did not encounter any obstacles and easily penetrated deep into the area to the east of the Yin Ming Sect's residence.
On the way, Duan Lingtian learned about it from Bailihong.
The two Saint Realm experts of the Yinming Sect, the master of the Yinyang Sect, and the supreme elder of the Yinming Sect, both practice in the area east of the Yinming Sect's residence, because that area has the most abundant spiritual energy in the entire Yinming Sect's residence. In that place, most of the sixth-grade holy stones that appear in the Yinming Sect's seventh-grade holy stone veins are in the east.
Because of this, the aura of heaven and earth in that area is particularly strong.
When Duan Lingtian came to the area east of the Yinming Sect's headquarters, he felt like he was in a deserted place.
Although this is due to the fact that there are very few people in the east area, it is more because Duan Lingtian's current strength is beyond comparison with the past, and ordinary people cannot discover his whereabouts at all.
"Um?"
Suddenly, Duan Lingtian noticed that a powerful spiritual power appeared out of thin air, sweeping towards him with a fierce force.
"Divine consciousness!"
In an instant, Duan Lingtian recognized that this was a piece of divine consciousness, the divine consciousness of a powerful person in the Holy Realm.
"Who are you? Why did you break into our Yinming Sect?"
At the same time, a clear voice came into Duan Lingtian's ears. The voice was loud and clear, as if it was coming from all directions.
"Are you the leader of the Yinming Sect, or the Supreme Elder of the Yinming Sect?"
Hearing this voice, Duan Lingtian's expression remained unchanged and he asked calmly.
"Huh? You, a martial arts cultivator in the holy realm, are quite courageous. You know that I am the master of the Yinming Sect, but you can still be so calm."
The loud voice came again, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"So what if you are the leader of the Yinming Sect? Can you still eat me?"
Duan Lingtian continued to speak calmly.
call!
And at this moment, as if a gust of wind blew by, not far in front of Duan Lingtian, ripples spread out in the void, and a tall figure appeared out of thin air.
Of course, it doesn't really appear out of thin air.
After Duan Lingtian used his 'Uncanny Eye' a little, he still vaguely captured the trajectory of the person who just flew by.
The tall figure, wearing a black robe embroidered with red edges and a tree crown on his head, looked extremely noble.
If you look closely, you will see that he is a middle-aged man with a handsome face and sharp eyebrows. It can be seen that he must have been a handsome young man in his youth.
