Dongfang Xue was still recovering. In order to facilitate the treatment, Yaozun sent his disciples to take Chen Rudao and Dongfang Xue to Yuheng Hall in Tianxiu Peak.
Seeing that her mother was saved, Chen Xiaoyan felt at ease and studied piano with Nalan Ruoyu in Yaoguang Hall.
The master didn't let him go down the mountain safely, so Xiao Ling'er had to practice her sword alone in the wind and snow. From time to time, she would grab Chen Xiaoyan and accompany her to cut the snow.
Meng Shentong in the library and Nalan Ruoyu in the Yaoguang Palace were both looking forward to Li Xiuyuan waking up early in his Nirvana.
Just when Tianyun Mountain was calm and the elders and disciples were hiding in their houses to recuperate, great changes took place in Loulan City.
The Chen family, which makes a living by refining weapons, was raided by killers overnight.
More than 200 family members, monks, and elders of the entire family died unexpectedly. Only the eldest elder Chen Donglin's life and death were unknown due to his temporary absence. The entire Chen family was burned to rubble by the killer overnight.
Everyone in Loulan City was in danger for a while, and many merchants did not even dare to open their doors to welcome customers during the day. The city lord Situ Tianxing even ordered the city gates to be closed tightly to arrest the murderer.
You must know that the Loulan Chen family has stood here for hundreds of years, and no one has ever dared to violate it.
It is even said that the young lady of the Chen family worshiped Tianyun Mountain’s Yuzun as her teacher and became a true disciple of Tianyun Mountain.
Not long after the great news came to Loulan City, the entire family was wiped out overnight.
Everyone thought that the head of the Chen family and his mistress also died overnight, leaving only the eldest lady in the Chen family who had gone to Tianyun Mountain.
But no one knew that not long ago, Chen Rudao and his wife Dongfang Xue, dressed in disguise, went to Tianyun Mountain on a snowy morning.
The news of the attack on the Chen family in Loulan was sent by the city lord to send a secret letter to the headmaster of Tianyun Mountain.
The headmaster conveyed the message to the Jade Lord of Zhufeng, Nalan Ruoyu, who quickly walked to Tianshu Hall. When she unfolded the secret letter on the table, she was stunned and speechless for a while.
"They are seeking death, knowing that Yan'er has become my disciple!"
Yuzun was so angry that he smashed the round table made of iron wood with his palm, looked at the headmaster and asked, "Didn't Situ Tianxing of Loulan City find out who the murderer was?"
The headmaster looked at her and said quietly: "The person who can wipe out the Chen family in one night is certainly not the first person. Under a fire, all the evidence will be reduced to ashes!"
Nalan Ruoyu looked in the direction of Tianxiu Fengfeng, and her intuition told her that if the family could be wiped out overnight, there must be a traitor in the Chen family!
Otherwise, with the Chen family's hundreds of years of foundation in Loulan City, how could it be possible that they didn't have a protective circle?
The headmaster sighed softly and said leisurely: "What a blessing among misfortunes, the Chen family and his wife came to Tianyun Mountain to seek medical treatment, otherwise they would have been like those elders..."
"It seems that our Tianyun Mountain formation needs to be strengthened!"
Being prepared for danger in times of peace, Nalan Ruoyu smelled a hint of danger.
These guys knew that the Miss Chen family had become their disciple, but they still took advantage of the winter night to exterminate the Chen family. That means they didn't even take Tianyun Mountain seriously.
The headmaster sighed, with a solemn expression on his face.
He looked at her and said: "We have to make a careful plan. Not only must we strengthen the formation at the mountain gate, but we must also ask the venerable elders of each peak to check their subordinates and disciples, including the handymen."
Speaking of the handyman, the headmaster couldn't help but ask: "The apprentice you snatched away has an unknown origin. It is said that Wang Qiang and Ping An rescued him from the Tianhuang Mountain... Could he?"
"He doesn't know how. Not to mention going down the mountain these days, he has never even taken a step towards the door!"
Nalan Ruoyu thought to herself that if Li Xiuyuan was a spy, how could he have the courage to seek death under the abyss over and over again? Not to mention using a Buddhist scripture to let the many elders and disciples of the sect learn the truth and achieve enlightenment.
"No matter who it is, if it is discovered that there is a spy in the sect, we must not let him go!"
After all, the Chen family is an old friend of the headmaster, so he naturally understands the meaning of losing one's lips and teeth.
"Leave this matter to the old man. The old guy has nothing to do. Let him take care of the formation and secret investigation!"
The headmaster looked at Nalan Ruoyu and smiled bitterly: "Go and comfort the Chen family and his wife for me, and tell them that I will go to Zhufeng to see him tomorrow."
Nalan Ruyu nodded, looked at the headmaster and asked: "Then after the two of them..."
In her opinion, if the Chen family and his wife dare to return to Loulan City, they will definitely not be able to escape the assassination of their enemies! At the moment, it seems that living in seclusion in Tianyun Mountain is the only way.
"Stay in Zhufeng for a few days first. After I take care of the back mountain of Tiandao Peak, let him and his wife live in seclusion there. We can convince them..."
How could the headmaster not know that Chen Rudao would die if he dared to leave Tianyun Mountain now?
"Well, just in case, I have to do this..."
The woman was as attentive as a hair, and Nalan Ruoyu made corresponding arrangements for dangers that the headmaster could not foresee.
The headmaster sighed and said, "You should go back to Zhufeng first. I have already sent a message to Master Shi, asking her to invite the two Chen family members to return to Zhufeng."
Nalan Ruoyu glared at him: "Senior brother, are you the head teacher or me?"
...
It was the first time in Nalan Ruoyu's life that he encountered such a big event, and he didn't know what to do, so he had to go to the library and ask Meng Shentong to accompany him back to Zhufeng.
Because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to hold Chen Rudao and Dongfang Xue back.
No matter who hears that their home has suddenly disappeared, they will probably have to go back and take a look at it immediately, even if they risk their lives.
Not to mention Chen Rudao, who is the head of the family, and Chen Xiaoyan, who has a fiery temper.
When the two returned to Yaoguang Hall, Chen Rudao had already brought Dongfang Xue back here. The four members of the family were making tea and chatting around the table, waiting for Nalan Ruoyu's arrival.
Chen Xiaoyan saw that Meng Shentong had also returned with her master. She thought that the two of them were going to the back mountain to meet their senior brother, so she couldn't help but step forward to say hello.
"Master, senior, are you going to the back mountain to find your senior brother?" Chen Xiaoyan asked while pouring hot tea for the two of them.
Xiao Ling'er then said: "Little Ling'er also wants to meet big brother."
Nalan Ruoyu did not answer immediately, but after greeting Chen Rudao and Chen Fangxue, she introduced Meng Shentong's identity, then picked up the cup and took a sip of the spiritual tea.
It wasn't until Chen Rudao met the old man that Nalan Ruoyu sighed quietly and silently handed Chen Rudao the secret letter from Situ Tianxing to the headmaster.
Then he squeezed out two words: "My condolences!"
Chen Rudao didn't know what he meant, so he picked up the letter and opened it. After just one glance, he felt like he was struck by lightning. He sat at the table in a daze, speechless.
Seeing something was wrong, Dongfang Xue reached out to take the letter and read it.
Unexpectedly, she had a more serious reaction than Chen Rudao. After only seeing half of it, her face turned pale and she spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the clothes on her chest red!
Seeing her mother's exaggerated expression, Chen Xiaoyan also took the letter...and then, like Dongfang Xue, a mouthful of blood dyed Ruxue's clothes red.
Looking at the expressions of the three of them, Meng Shentong couldn't help but sigh and said: "Unexpected things happen in the sky, it's important for you three to take care of yourself!"
Little Ling'er didn't know what was going on, so she was so frightened that she hugged Chen Xiaoyan and started crying.
"How could this happen? Our Chen family has always been law-abiding in Loulan City and has never offended anyone... We have a family of more than 200 people!"
After holding on for a long time, Chen Rudao couldn't help but burst into tears and cried bitterly while holding Dongfang Xue.
For a time, the only four people left in the Chen family were in grief in the Yaoguang Palace. Their cries passed through the wind and clouds and even reached the top of the Bamboo Peak.
The gray light of the silkworm cocoon in the cave gradually weakened, revealing a purple light that flickered and disappeared, as if feeling sad for the Chen family's experience.
The old man in the Jade Disk Space sighed, looked at the small fish swimming in the river, and said softly: "Weakness is also a sin!"
Following Li Xiuyuan, I experienced countless places, from Luoxia Mountain to the Wilderness, to Tianyu City, and then to the Xuanwu Continent.
This was the first time he encountered the tragic event of his family being wiped out. He did not expect that a prosperous town like Loulan City would also be a bloody jungle. People were like beasts, and they would disappear as soon as they were told.
Looking at Li Xiuyuan in Nirvana, after three changes in the old man's mind, he should have a foothold in the Xuanwu land, right?
Li Xiuyuan, who was in Nirvana, did not answer him. His broken heart once again fissured like a star and then slowly recovered and reorganized.
Even if there are only faint stars in the night, it is still the dew of spring for Li Xiuyuan who is in Nirvana.
The boy in the cocoon still closed his eyes tightly, but his pale face gradually became rosy.
The chest that was hollowed by the zombies and the body that was destroyed by the evil power under the abyss was reshaped again, like the shattered starry sky. The picture seemed beautiful, but the starry sky in front of me was not stable.
If there is not enough strength to support it. He was in danger of collapsing again at any time. Li Xiuyuan, curled up in the cocoon, seemed to have transformed into the shape of seven stars.
The ten thousand-year-old magical medicine melts when it meets water and slowly seeps from the divine sea to the muscles, flesh, and bones of the whole body.
Just like the starlight in the night sky, it turned into a powerful force, shining with divine light like stars, and dissipated in his body bit by bit.
Under the starry sky illuminated by divine light, the incomplete heart collapsed into ruins, like thousands of broken starlights converging on a certain point of light.
Turned into the brightest star, waiting quietly in the sky, as pure as a green lotus, the faint starlight turned into drops of reborn blood, slowly nourishing the dry wasteland under the sky.
A breath of life filled the new world. This breath did not come from the sky, but from the weak little phoenix in the sea of gods.
The phoenix flew happily under the new starry sky, and the little fish in the river were about to become sperms.
The elixirs and miraculous medicines in the elixir garden have already borne new fruits, and they are just about to give birth to a new generation.
Due to the season and weather, Li Xiuyuan's nirvana was much slower this time.
The Ten Thousand Years Divine Medicine, the energy of chaos, and the purple energy of Hongmeng were absorbed by him very quickly, and the life force emitted by Qinglian was also integrated into Li Xiuyuan's starry sky and flesh and blood.
He will sprout, blossom, and bear fruit.
...
In the Yaoguang Palace, sadness continued to spread.
However, after the persuasion of Meng Shentong and Nalan Ruoyu, Chen Rudao and Dongfang Xue finally gave up their determination to return to Loulan to dig out the truth.
Even Chen Xiaoyan understands that since what happened to her brother before, if her parents return to Loulan now, it will be like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth, and they will die without rebirth.
"The city lord said that only the great elder escaped from the disaster when he went out a few days ago, and asked us to be more careful in Tianyun Mountain."
Chen Xiaoyan looked at her parents and said solemnly.
"What do these killers want from your Chen family? Could it be that you still have..." Meng Shentong frowned and looked at Chen Rudao and asked.
"If my guess is correct, they should be coming for the Chen family's divine fire!" Chen Rudao sighed and replied leisurely.
"Fortunately, the great elder is not at home. They couldn't get this divine fire despite all calculations..." Dongfang Xue said softly to Nalan Ruoyu while wiping the tears on her face.
"The headmaster has made arrangements for you two. In a few days, you two will no longer be in Tianyun Mountain..."
Nalan Ruoyu told the headmaster's arrangement, looked at Xiao Ling'er and said: "Only a few of us know about this matter, Xiao Ling'er, you can't tell anyone, not even about safety!"
Xiao Ling'er was startled, then nodded desperately and replied: "Don't worry, Lord Yu, Xiao Ling'er won't tell anyone even if I beat him to death!"
"The same goes for you. If you have nothing to do, don't run down the mountain. The formation at Zhufeng has been activated. Except for the headmaster, even the elders in the sect can't get up!"
Worried that something might happen to her disciple, Nalan Ruoyu looked at Chen Xiaoyan and said quietly.
