[Read the latest chapter] Not long after entering the archway, the wide mountain road began to have forks, stretching to different places in the distance.
But Xiao Qinghao didn't hesitate at all and continued to rush along the mountain road.
Half an hour later, he turned around and walked towards a fork in the road. Entering the hinterland of the Xiao clan, Qin Fengming did not dare to let out his spiritual consciousness and scan at will.
Think about it, the Xiao clan is a land of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. There are more than a dozen monks who transform into infants, and there are many hiding places. If the other party finds out, it will be extremely inconvenient.
When everyone stopped, there was a group of courtyard houses in front of them. It was several miles in size, like a huge village. The tall courtyard walls were four to five feet high and looked extremely solid.
On top of the high wall, energy fluorescence is constantly flashing, and energy ripples are also wandering erratically, indicating that this place is undoubtedly surrounded by extremely powerful restrictions.
Standing in front of the tall gate of Zhuangzhai, before Xiao Qinghao could speak, a member of the Xiao clan appeared from inside the gate.
I saw that he was only in his twenties, but his cultivation was still at the early stage of foundation building.
When he came in front of everyone, he scanned them carefully, and finally walked up to the Xiao Qinghao brothers, bowed and said with great respect:
"Junior Xiao Zhiguang, I don't know what happened to the two seniors here, but please tell me so that the juniors can pass on the information." This man is very smart and speaks very appropriately.
"Haha, I, Honghu Island Xiao Qinghao, also asked my nephew Xiao Xian to pass it on for me." Seeing the young monk approaching, Xiao Qinghao also smiled and said extremely politely.
"Senior is the clan uncle of Honghu Island. There is no need to pass it on. The master has already ordered that as soon as the clan uncle arrives, he should enter the village immediately. Just ask the two clan uncles and several clan brothers to follow Zhiguang."
When the young monk heard Xiao Qinghao's words, he immediately beamed with joy. After bowing again, he turned around and led everyone towards the mansion.
Stepping into the manor house, what is displayed in front of everyone is a magnificent scene. The tall palace with carved beams and painted buildings looks extremely elegant. The courtyards in the distance are exquisite and neat, and appear to be very regular. Compared with the Xiao family on Honghu Island, they are even better.
Xiao Zhiguang was alone in front and did not stop at all. He passed through several floors of halls before stopping in front of a taller hall.
Standing on the stone steps in front of the palace, Xiao Zhiguang signaled everyone to wait, then turned around and said loudly: "Master, everyone from the Xiao family on Honghu Island has arrived and is waiting outside the palace."
As his words fell, a loud voice came out from the hall: "Hahaha, I was telling several clan brothers yesterday that Brother Qinghao was also going to arrive. I didn't expect that they would arrive today."
Following the loud words, three monks appeared from the main hall. One of them had a dark-red complexion and was around fifty years old. The two beside him were old men with gray beards.
"Xiao Qinghao and Xiao Qingquan of the Xiao family on Honghu Island brought several juniors to meet the head of the family."
Following Xiao Qinghao's words, several members of the Xiao family who came with Xiao Qinghao immediately knelt down and paid homage to the red-faced man in front of them.
This turn of events left Qin Fengming and the others puzzled.
There were three people in front of him. Even though they were at the peak of Chengdan cultivation level, they would not allow Xiao Qinghao and others to perform such a grand ceremony. But as soon as this question flashed in Qin Fengming's mind, a light suddenly flashed across his eyes, making him understand the reason.
The Xiao clan has developed to this point and has become deeply rooted. Its members can be found in every corner of the Yuanfeng Empire. However, its main root system is no longer a single root. At this time, there are several main direct families on Shengyou Island.
Although these direct families are all members of the Xiao clan, tens of thousands of years ago, these direct families continued to branch out.
The Xiao family on Honghu Island is undoubtedly the direct descendant of the Xiao family here. Although he no longer lives on Shengyou Island at this time, he still has a lot of contacts in daily life. His contribution to the Xiao family here must be huge.
"Qinghao and Qingquan, please come quickly. We are of the same spirit, so we don't need to give this big gift."
The red-faced old man said as he hurried forward and reached out to help the two ancestors of the Xiao family.
"This is not the place to talk. Zhiguang, please quickly lead these tribesmen and comrades to a resting place and assign manpower to take care of them. Brothers Qinghao and Qingquan, please follow me to the main hall. I have important things to discuss."
The red-faced old man stared at the people behind Xiao Qinghao, and then said to the young monk. After saying that, he pulled Xiao Qinghao and the two of them, turned around and returned to the main hall.
Seeing the head of the family leaving, Xiao Zhiguang turned around and said to the crowd: "The resting places for the clan brothers and the three comrades have been prepared. Please come with me." Although Qin Fengming and the others were not introduced, he had already judged the clothing markings on his own body. clear
After a cup of tea, Qin Fengming and others were taken to a courtyard. This courtyard was located in a dense forest and looked extremely quiet and elegant.
The courtyard has two floors, and there are ten houses. Qin Fengming and three people were arranged in the three main rooms of the separation courtyard, but Xiao Zhiguang resigned and left safely.
After the Xiao family servants who were waiting for everyone retreated, Xiao Jinxuan's uncle and nephew came to Qin Fengming's room, shaking their heads with melancholy expressions on their faces.
Although they have entered the Xiao Clan at this time, the uncle and nephew are at a loss about the Xiao Clan here, and they have no idea how to act in the future.
Along the way, the Xiao family here gave the two of them a feeling of extreme confusion.
The two of them want to come, as long as they arrive within the Xiao clan, find the person in charge of the family, put the treasure on them and reveal their identities, then everything will be fine.
But when they got here, they discovered that there was not only one head of the Xiao family here. This made his uncle and nephew not know what to do.
"Uncle and nephew, there is no need to worry. Since we have arrived safely within the Xiao clan, we can only slowly explore and wait until we are sure it is safe, then safely send the treasure away."
After casually setting up a small restriction, Qin Fengming smiled slightly and said in a calm tone.
"Fellow Daoist Wei is right in what he said, but this matter is something we should not rush into. However, we still need fellow Taoist to pay more attention to inquire about the investigation."
Although he is in the Xiao clan, he is not as convenient as the monk surnamed Wei in front of him because his uncle and nephew are only here as spectators. If he takes any more actions, he will be suspected by the Xiao clan members.
"Fellow Taoist Xiao, please rest assured. Since Mr. Wei has promised to Taoist Taoist, he will definitely consider it. As long as there is a chance, he will definitely pay more attention to it."
After receiving Qin Fengming's affirmative reply again, Xiao Jinxuan's uncle and nephew's uneasy mood became calmer.
Just when Qin Fengming and the other three were negotiating with each other, an intense negotiation was also going on in the main hall.
