Xiao Zhan flew and landed on the top of a high peak.
Looking around, the clouds and mist are billowing below, and only the tips of the peaks are left.
After sitting down cross-legged, Xiao Zhan arranged a series of formations around him to ensure that his breath would not be noticed by others, and then took out his training resources and began to practice "The Art of All Things".
The Secret of All Things is an ancient skill with no upper limit. It emphasizes the natural response to the heaven and earth, and pursues the natural coexistence with the heaven and earth.
Theoretically speaking, by cultivating the Art of All Things, one can eventually reach the state of incarnating all things and becoming as immortal as the natural world.
Although it is just a theory, it can prove the power of this technique.
Xiao Zhan didn't know yet that while he was practicing, he had already entered the Jia family's sight as a mysterious person.
Or, from the moment he killed Jia Zhengjing, he had already had a cause and effect with the Jia family.
Jia family land.
Qin Xin came to an extremely hidden cave.
After opening the formation restrictions that sealed the cave, he stepped in and sealed the entrance of the cave immediately.
In the cave, Jia Wang, whose energy was blocked, huddled on the cold ground and looked at Qin Xin shivering.
His eyes were full of anger, and he gritted his teeth and roared:
"Qin Xin, if my father finds out that you are the daughter-in-law arranged by Jia Youyi to fuck him, you will definitely die without a burial place!"
Qin Xin chuckled:
"Did you think that I would be foolish enough to put the blame on Jia Baoshan?"
"What we want is for your father to give up the fight for the position of clan leader. It doesn't matter who captured you."
As he spoke, he sat cross-legged next to him, closed his eyes and spoke slowly:
"Your father is still waiting to negotiate terms. Unfortunately, no one went to him to negotiate terms."
"When the time comes, I will take one of your arms back to see which one is more important, your son or the position of the clan leader."
Jia Wang narrowed his eyes, the fear in his heart could no longer be concealed:
"What Jia Youyi promised to give you, my father can give it to you too!"
"If you let me go, I promise that my father will not make things difficult for you. When my father becomes the clan leader, your identity and status will be improved!"
Qin Xin had no expression on his face:
"Do you really think that I will be loyal to anyone in your Jia family?"
"Both Jia Baoshan and your father Jia Bing are not good people, and neither is Jia Youyi." .z.
When Qin Xin said this, there was unconcealable resentment in his voice.
He was not from Jia's family. He only followed Jia Youyi when Jia Youyi was traveling abroad many years ago.
Unexpectedly, Jia Youyi never treated him sincerely. Instead, he used poison to control him, forcing him to obey Jia Youyi's orders.
At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded in the passage.
Qin Xin stood up suddenly, and a long black stick with a cold light appeared in his hand.
The next moment, a man shrouded in black robes walked out of the passage.
His face was hidden under a black mask, and his emotionless eyes first glanced at Jia Wang, who was huddled in the corner, and then fell on Qin Xin.
He didn't say any nonsense, and moved to Qin Xin in a flash.
Qin Xin couldn't react at all. His pupils shrank sharply and he was already being choked by this man.
Just as he was about to ask for mercy, he heard a click.
Qin Xin's neck was directly broken.
The man in black robe didn't even look at him, he turned around and stared at Jia Wang.
Jia Wang looked overjoyed, got up and asked quickly:
"My father sent you to save me, right?"
The man in black robe did not answer and immediately left with Jia Wang.
A moment later, another man in black robe appeared in the cave.
Seeing Qin Xin's body on the ground, the man in black robes stared hard and immediately sent a message to Jia Bing:
"Sir, someone killed Qin Xin first and took the young master away."
In Jia Bing's yard.
He stood up suddenly, his eyes becoming extremely fierce.
The next moment, a black shadow flew in from outside the yard and landed at Jia Bing's feet.
Jia Bing just glanced at it, and the anger in his eyes seemed to burst out.
Because from the breath on this severed arm, he could tell that it was an arm of his son Jia Wang!
"Damn it!"
Jia Bing's figure flashed and appeared outside the yard, but he couldn't see a single figure and couldn't feel the slightest breath.
He knew that someone was warning him that if he did not withdraw from the competition for clan leader, what he saw next might be the body of his son Jia Wang.
at the same time.
The bamboo forest where Jia Baoshan is located.
Looking at Jia Wang, who was missing an arm in front of him and had fallen into a coma, Jia Baoshan looked at Jia Yin, who was standing beside him with a frown on his face, with a smile on his face:
"Yin'er, do you think Jia Bing will give up competing for the position of clan leader for his son?"
Jia Yin exhaled a thick breath:
"Father, is this method really appropriate?"
Jia Baoshan smiled and waved his hand:
"A means is a means, there is no such thing as appropriate or inappropriate."
"If it were Jia Bing or Jia Youyi, they would also use you to threaten me."
"So, during this period of time, you just stay with me in seclusion and don't go anywhere."
Jia Yin nodded, turned around and walked towards the bamboo building not far away.
Jia Baoshan suddenly asked:
"If you can still contact the young man you mentioned, you can invite him to our Jia family."
"With his talent and strength, he might be your right-hand man in the future."
Jia Yin frowned and couldn't help but think of Xiao Zhan's figure again.
He has long known that there is a world outside the sky, and there are people outside the world.
But since he was young, this was the first time he met someone like Xiao Zhan, who made him feel a strong sense of frustration.
Half an hour later.
The main meeting hall of the Jia clan.
A group of clan elders and heads of various branches gathered here.
The tall and thin Jia Bing stood in the middle of the hall with an unusually gloomy expression.
He glanced at Jia Baoshan, who was sitting next to him, and Jia Youyi, who was the most handsome and looked no different from the handsome young master, and snorted coldly:
"As witnesses, all clan elders, I give up competing for the position of clan leader."
"If anyone captures my son, release him immediately."
As soon as this statement came out, many people present looked at each other.
Especially those in charge of the branches, their expressions were full of surprise.
Jia Baoshan and Jia Youyi, who were sitting opposite, showed no expression at all.
There was only indifference on the faces of a group of clan elders.
They will not sympathize with Jia Bing.
After all, in the eyes of clan elders like them, how does a person who cannot protect his own son have any right to be pitied?
A clan elder even snorted coldly:
"If your son is gone, you can still regenerate him!"
"You actually have to give up competing for the position of clan leader for such a trivial matter. It's really embarrassing!"
Jia Bing's face was cold, but he did not refute. He walked to his seat and sat down, but his eyes glanced at the faces of Jia Youyi and Jia Baoshan from time to time.
Jia Youyi stood up expressionlessly at this time, not looking at anyone, but said coldly:
"My son Jia Zhengjing was killed not long ago."
"I don't want to talk too much nonsense."
"Anyway, don't let me find out who did it, otherwise, you will die without a burial place."
The oldest, haggard old man waved his hand and said in a hoarse voice:
"It's all gone."
Everyone in the hall stood up one after another, clasped their fists and bowed to a group of clan elders, and then exited.
into the main hall.
As the oldest old man waved his hand, a series of formations enveloped the entire hall.
At this time, a young man wearing a purple robe walked out of the side room with a smile.
He sat down in the middle seat, which represented the status of the clan leader, and said with a smile:
"Do you clan elders think that the three of them are fighting among themselves?"
The oldest old man frowned:
"Our Jia family's strength has declined a lot in the past tens of thousands of years."
"Those hidden families who covet our Jia family's marrow washing pool must have wanted to take action against us for a long time."
"Now our ancestors don't have much life left. When our ancestors pass away in a few hundred years, that will be the time when our Jia family is most in danger."
An old woman next to her nodded, looked at the young man and said:
"That's why we hid you, secretly supported you, and let Jia Youyi and the others attract the attention of other reclusive families."
"As the true future leader of the clan, you must take advantage of these hundreds of years to improve your own strength."
"Hundreds of years from now, even if the Jia family is really in chaos, we old guys will help you hold it together!"
The young man smiled and nodded:
"I will certainly remember the kindness that all clan elders have shown me."
"Then I will go back to the marrow washing pool to practice."
A group of clan elders nodded, and after the young people left, they started talking again.
Poor Jia Youyi and the other two people thought that they were really competitors for the clan leader. They didn't know that they were just victims to attract the attention of the outside world.
A few months later.
The peak of Xiao Zhan's retreat.
Xiao Zhan slowly opened his eyes, and the light in his eyes flashed.
He frowned slightly.
He thought that he had enough cultivation resources for more than a year, but he didn't expect that in just over half a year, these cultivation resources had been exhausted.
It seems that as his strength increases and his understanding of "The Art of All Things" becomes deeper and deeper, he will consume more and more cultivation resources.
He had no choice but to go to other places and continue to look for cultivation resources.
In the next ten days, he passed through several cities and heard a lot of news about the Jia family.
The Jia family used to be a reclusive family, but recently, it has frequently appeared in the sight of other forces.
Not only that, but there are also some other unknown hidden families that seem to be making moves.
Suddenly, the forces within tens of millions of miles around became nervous, fearing that these powerful hidden families that suddenly appeared would cause some kind of crisis to them.
The Hehuan Sect has been unusually low-key in recent months.
Since Jia Zhengjing's death, the top leaders of the Hehuan Sect have been worried that the Hehuan Sect would be wiped out by the Jia family.
However, the Jia family did not respond at all to the Hehuan Sect.
As a result, the people of Hehuan Sect also relaxed.
Sect leader He Zun looked at all the supreme elders and inner sect elders sitting in the hall, and said in a deep voice:
"Jia Zhengjing's matter has come to an end for the time being."
"A few months ago, we discussed the attack on Lingquan Mountain. Now let's make a new plan."
Seeing no one objected, He Zun said expressionlessly:
"With the emergence of hidden families one after another, our area may be undergoing a major reshuffle."
"I have received news that these hidden families are likely to regain our power. We must stand in line at that time."
"Lingquan Mountain and our Hehuan Sect have always had conflicts and are incompatible with each other. If they have a backer by then, they will definitely launch an attack on our Hehuan Sect."
"We must strike first."
