They didn't fly very fast. From time to time, Yang Cheng stealthily led the elders to talk about the illusion and the family's information, so there weren't many flaws.
In the past, Xiao Qiufeng was ignorant and incompetent. Basically, he didn't ask much about the family's secrets and the history of the illusion. Now that he was "shameless" to ask, the elders talked about it excitedly.
The more Yang Cheng listened, the more he felt that the illusion was full of dangers, so he had to be extra careful.
There were many things that Hsiao Chih-ching didn't mention before. In fact, the woman herself didn't know the real strength of the family and what kind of masters there were.
Hsiao Chih-ching had been locked up in the family and used to test elixirs. Most of the information she got was from reading books, so it was inevitable that it was limited.
Yang Cheng didn't dare to relax his vigilance. After all, after saving Suxin, he still had to go to the Luo family to save Hsiao Chih-ching.
If he angered some thousand-year-old monster, not to mention the woman, he couldn't even protect himself.
Unknowingly, they arrived at the first branch family they wanted to visit.
According to seniority, the first to arrive was the fourteenth son of the youngest generation, who was also the fourteenth relative of the family head, Xiao Meng.
Although it was a branch family of the Xiao family, its architecture was similar to the Xiao family's, but the area was much smaller. After all, there were only about a hundred people in the family.
After landing, the fourteenth brother's family was already waiting there. The head of the family was Xiao Mohui's cousin, and he warmly welcomed them into the main hall. Whether it was true or not, they talked very well.
Xiao Mohui didn't have any arrogance and looked very kind. He even asked the elders behind him to give them brocade boxes of middle grade and low grade elixirs.
The resources of the Xiao family's branch family were naturally not as good as those of the main family. Seeing the elixirs, the eyes of the younger generation of the fourteen families lit up, and they couldn't wait to snatch them.
Yang Cheng listened to Xiao Mohui and the fourteenth brother's chatter. Most of their talk was about the cultivation of the branch family and the current situation of the older generation.
In the afternoon, the group went to the Martial Arts Practice Field and watched a few groups of Xiao Clan's younger generation fight.
Although Fourteenth Brother's family only had over a hundred people, and the Xiao Family only had over thirty disciples, there were a few youths who had already reached the Distant Fire stage, and there was even one who had reached the Samadhi True Fire stage.
On the spectator stand, they watched a middle-stage Distant Fire Xiao Clan man and a late-stage Distant Fire Xiao Clan woman fight back and forth. Their sword techniques dazzled the eyes. Many of the sect elders who came along were full of praise.
Yang Cheng felt bored to the extreme. These people were either lying through their teeth, or their level was too low. Breaking the sword technique with a shout was just a bluff. There was no killing intent at all, so how could he defend against the enemy?
But thinking about it, these people in the illusory realm had not experienced any great battles. They were not like their ancestors from tens of thousands of years ago, who fought against the gods. They were also not like the ancient immortals from hundreds of thousands of years ago, who fought against ferocious beasts like Primordial Chaos.
Most of these cultivators lived like princes. They only cultivated for longevity and fought for power and profit. It was normal that they did not have any killing power.
"Fourteenth Uncle, the younger generation will surpass the older generation. It seems that there is nothing to worry about the inheritance of your bloodline," Sorrowless Mohui said to Fourteenth Brother, who was beside him.
Fourteenth Brother stroked his goatee and said humbly, "There is still a big gap between us and the geniuses of the other big brothers' families. My descendants can only guard their own land."
"Sigh … Although our Xiao Clan is the top of the three clans in terms of Panacea resources, we have not produced any amazing geniuses in the past hundred years. That is why the Luo Clan and the Ning Clan have been suppressing us. Father is very worried about the competition of the three clans next year." Sorrowless Mohui was not lying.
Old Fourteen chuckled and said, "Big Brother is worrying too much. These little brats in my family don't live up to expectations, but many of my brothers' descendants have excellent physiques and cultivation. When the time comes, we don't have to be afraid of the young people of the Luo and Ning families.
Of course, I am not saying that Qiu Feng is not good. I see that Qiu Feng has entered the middle stage of the Ethereal Fire Realm, and his True Essence is quite stable. Maybe he can break through to the last stage of the Ethereal Fire Realm next year. As the saying goes, good preparation is the key to success. Qiu Feng, as the eldest son of our Xiao Clan, should not let Big Brother down. "
Hearing that he was mentioned, Yang Cheng hurriedly put on an act and said humbly, "The Fourth Brother is flattering me."
Sorrowless Mohui's eyes were a little expectant. He did not know why his son looked so much more pleasing to the eye than before. Could it be that he was really "sensible"?
Because they had to visit more than a dozen collateral clans, they could not stay in one clan for long. In the evening, the group set off again.
Yang Cheng lamented for a while. This clan that had been passed down for thousands of years was really flourishing. Not counting those collateral clans that had been alienated from the core, there were actually more than a dozen branch clans.
But he could not disappear halfway, so he could only endure it. Along the way, he listened to the Xiao Clan elders talk about all kinds of information in the illusion, so he did not gain nothing.
For cultivators, time passed very quickly.
After more than ten days, Yang Cheng had followed Sorrowless Mohui to visit more than a dozen collateral clans of the Xiao Clan.
In order to accumulate support for his son, Sorrowless Mohui spared no effort to send boxes of panaceas to support his son. Of course, this was also with Xiao Mengyu's permission.
The further they went, the more masters there were. Even the masters of two clans, old men of the same generation as Xiao Mengyu, were already at the early stage of Weak Water. These old men were highly respected. In the future, if there were no accidents, they would be the pillars of the Elders' Union. In the future, they might even become Grand Elders.
Yang Cheng felt lucky that the young people in these clans did not challenge him. The "crisis" that Xiao Manyan had mentioned before did not happen. This was probably also a blessing because of the panaceas.
The last collateral clan, which was also the most powerful family of the Xiao Clan, belonged to the second granduncle of the Xiao Clan.
Second granduncle Xiao Mengyue himself was a great master at the early stage of Weak Water. There were more than a thousand disciples and cultivators under his command. He was the most powerful force in the collateral clan of the Xiao Clan. He was also the most prestigious person in power in the Xiao Clan besides Xiao Mengyu.
Sorrowless Mohui deliberately put an Upper Grade panacea in the brocade box of panaceas to show the degree of importance.
But as soon as he arrived outside the main hall of the second granduncle's clan, he saw Xiao Mengyue and a group of people talking with another group of guests in front of the hall.
The leader was a middle-aged man with shoulder-length black hair, a mustache, and a rather handsome appearance. He was wearing a blue brocade gown and was talking and laughing with Xiao Mengyue.
Yang Cheng felt that the man in blue was a little familiar. After thinking about it carefully, he realized that it was him! Wasn't this the Mo Zheng in Mother Wang's photo!? Sorrowless Mohui!?
Sure enough, there was a trace of surprise and displeasure on Sorrowless Mohui's face, but it was fleeting. He laughed and stepped forward. "Haha! Second brother, why are you here at second granduncle's place? Did you know that I brought the elders to visit second granduncle, so you came to join in the fun? "
Sorrowless Mohui had a scholarly look on his face. He said very elegantly, "Big brother, you must be joking. I didn't know that you were going to bring people here today. I just happened to be inspecting the spiritual material production area. When I passed by here, I remembered that I haven't talked with the elders and brothers of second granduncle's clan for some time, so I brought people here to have a look."
As he spoke, he even greeted Yang Chen and the others in a friendly manner.
Sorrowless Mohui was followed by a group of his subordinates, who were also at the Crossing Calamity Stage. Sorrowless Mohui himself was also at the early stage of the Dark Water Stage. Although he was not as good as Sorrowless Mohui, there was not much difference.
Yang Cheng calculated. Sorrowless Mohui and Mother Wang gave birth to Hsiao Chih-ching, and it had only been twenty years since then. To be able to reach the early stage of the Dark Water Stage, he could be considered to have an extraordinary aptitude.
Just based on the first impression, Sorrowless Mohui was much better than Sorrowless Mohui, who was sinister and arrogant. No wonder Mother Wang fell for him so easily. However, Yang Cheng knew how he was like a father, so he only had hatred for Sorrowless Mohui, his cheap father-in-law.
"Hmph, second brother really knows how to take a break from the busy." Sorrowless Mohui smiled coldly, turned to face second granduncle, and said with some flattery, "Nephew Mohui has brought people to see second granduncle. Second granduncle, here are some elixirs, it is a little gift from father and me."
Xiao Mengyue looked like he was in his fifties. He took the brocade box with a fake smile, "Mohui is very kind. How is big brother recently?"
"Father has been in closed-door training recently in preparation for next year's Martial Arts Competition of the Three Families. Otherwise, he would have liked to come and chat with second granduncle." Sorrowless Mohui said.
Xiao Mengyue nodded, and suddenly looked at Yang Cheng, "You also mentioned that next year is the important Martial Arts Competition of the Three Families. This matter concerns the face of our Xiao Family, and even more so, it concerns the interests of the Demonic Eye. Why do I see that your son, Qiu Feng, is only at the middle stage of the Fire Realm?
With this little bit of cultivation, he should be cultivating at home. You bring him everywhere for us old brothers to see. Are you in a hurry to suggest that big brother change the heir of the family? "
