"Family...owner?"
As he fell to the ground bleeding, the tall man raised his head and looked at the figure standing upright in front of him, his face full of disbelief.
This person is the pillar of the Du family, and he and others are the family head's bodyguards. There is no reason for the family head to take action against his own bodyguards without any reason.
The head of the house... was surprised when he heard this. The man with a dull expression and thick black eyebrows was stunned for a moment, and then his face became distorted.
This title seemed to be a key that destroyed most of the power that restricted and imprisoned him, making him seem to remember something and who he was.
Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
At this time, a footstep that was neither loud nor weak came from downstairs, one step after another, with almost the same frequency.
At the same time, the struggling expression on the dull man's face gradually disappeared and became calm again.
But what was different from before was that the dull man's eyes turned and regained some of his agility. He looked at the tall man who looked at him with a confused face, and ordered without any fluctuation in his voice:
"Du Feng, you guys go back to recuperate and notify other people to come over and take charge."
After a pause, he emphasized:
"Don't mention anything about tonight to anyone."
He didn't mean to explain anything, he just spoke in a commanding tone.
"this……"
Du Feng looked hesitant. What had just happened made him instinctively aware that something was abnormal, but he couldn't guess what really happened.
At this moment, when he faced the calm and gloomy eyes of his family master, the questions that were rising in his throat stopped and dissipated immediately.
The head of the family doesn't have that much patience.
"...Damn it, this plan was in vain."
After squeezing his left arm that seemed to be broken, Du Feng climbed up with difficulty, and then pulled the others up one by one. These people did not speak, but simply saluted the head of the family and then walked off the top floor.
"Why did the head of the family suddenly come to the Hongling stronghold? I have not received any news about this before. Of course, this is normal. I am not qualified to know the actions of the head of the family...
"It's just, why did the head of the family attack us for no reason..."
While thinking and going down the stairs step by step, Du Feng suddenly heard the sound of approaching footsteps, which interrupted his thoughts and directed his attention downwards.
Ta-ta! Ta-ta!
Amidst the sound of footsteps, a tall man climbed up the stairs and crossed paths with the guards who were going downstairs.
He was wearing dark clothes with no other colors visible, his eyes were gentle, his nose was straight, and he had a purple sword behind him.
Du Feng had also seen this man before. He was the one who had just tried to approach the Hongling stronghold.
"He is one of his own."
At this time, the voice belonging to the head of the Du family fell slowly, dispelling the doubts of Du Feng and others at the right time, so that they were no longer on guard.
Jiang Yan stepped forward step by step. During this process, he did not start, but just nodded to Du Feng and others with a flat look, as a greeting.
Then, he passed over the group of people, his figure was gradually enveloped in darkness, and he was about to reach the top floor.
"One of our own?"
Du Feng's gaze moved up along with Jiang Yan's movements, and he didn't look back until he couldn't see clearly anymore. He chewed on the words of the family leader, and suddenly he had a certain guess in his heart:
The young man just now may have some close relationship with the head of the family.
"... Following this line of thinking, there is a reason why our group of people were taught a lesson by the head of the family. It was because we wanted to attack that young man."
Du Feng seemed to be convinced of this guess. He was angry and helpless. In the end, he shook his head vigorously and cursed in a suppressed voice:
"damn it!"
…
Dujia Hongling stronghold, the top of the gray building.
The clouds in the sky move quickly, covering the silver moon from time to time, making this place constantly changing between bright and dark states.
Squeezing his forehead and eyebrows hard, Jiang Yan raised his head and looked at the dull-looking head of the Du family, his eyes a little deeper.
Then, he also said in a commanding tone:
"Take me to where the weirdos are kept."
The agility in the eyes of the head of the Du family disappeared. When he heard Jiang Yan's "order", he responded without any resistance or struggle:
"good."
After a simple reply, the head of the Du family immediately took steps and walked down the relatively spacious stairs.
…
The Hongling stronghold is one of the most important strongholds in the Du family's wilderness. In order to build this building, the Du family also spent a lot of manpower and material resources.
Different from what you can see from the perspective, the real key building of this stronghold is located underground.
After passing through a long, deep and silent tunnel, Jiang Yan came underground and saw the true appearance of the underground buildings of the Hongling stronghold.
"It's actually like this..."
Jiang Yan stood at the exit of the tunnel, most of his body shrouded in "darkness". He looked around and found that compared to the buildings above the ground, the underground was the real accumulation of strongholds.
The most conspicuous and eye-catching thing here is the huge pillars, each of which is more than ten feet thick, supporting the "earth" and "top floor".
These pillars are arranged neatly according to certain rules, extending to the left, to the right, and to the front. There are so many that one cannot count them all in a short time.
Looking at these pillars, Jiang Yan closed his eyes, then gently nodded his head to the head of the Du family beside him, and said without showing any emotion:
"These stone pillars are your 'instruments' to suppress weirdness?"
"Yes!" The head of the Du family also looked at the unmemorable number of stone pillars in front of him, and his tone was still dull:
"The weird things that the Du family captures from the wild and trades from merchants will be transported here to be sealed, and then they will be unsealed while waiting for testing."
Jiang Yan withdrew his gaze and uttered two words in a confused tone:
"merchant?"
He didn't understand why two things, businessmen and weirdos, were still key and interactive.
The head of the Du family knew everything and said:
"In Nanyanzhou City, there are some chambers of commerce that are also cultivating their own warriors. They have some huge power and influence. Compared with those ancient families and sects, these chambers of commerce are only inferior in their background.
"The Chamber of Commerce pursues profits. As long as the interest is enough, they can be allowed to do anything. Of course, they can also capture weird things..."
"That's it..." Jiang Yan nodded slightly, his eyes flashed, but he didn't ask any more questions. He glanced at the "Stone Forest" without seeing the end again, and suddenly raised his right palm.
"Fire started."
After the two words were exported, groups of golden fireworks suddenly condensed from the void, filling the underground space in the blink of an eye, and unspeakable hot temperatures immediately descended.
With a clicking sound, the seals on the surface of the stone pillar shattered one by one, but before any movement of the forbidden weirdness inside, the golden light of the sun rushed in and burned it.
How many powerful monsters can a small family whose head is only in the Crystal Realm be able to ban? In the face of the golden light of the sun, these monsters have only one fate.
That is death.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
As a large number of seals collapsed and strange deaths occurred, gray-black smoke that was invisible to the naked eye flew from nowhere and poured into Jiang Yan's left palm.
"The harvest is acceptable."
After a cursory check of the martial arts modifier, Jiang Yan nodded slightly, feeling that coming to Luocang to harvest weird values was a correct decision.
"It's settled here, it's time to go to the next house."
After saying that, Jiang Yan pressed his palm against the head of the head of the Du family. In his palm, golden flames burst out, from head to toe, from the outside to the inside, from the internal organs to the bones, burning this man who had a high status in Luocang City. Killed to ashes.
The Blood Sect family experimented cruelly and killed countless people. After killing such a person, Jiang Yan felt no fluctuation in his heart. He even felt that it was a gift to let him die without pain under the influence of spiritual magic.
