Sikong Dong's heart was filled with anger and grievance, but he had nowhere to vent it. However, he could not refute Sikong Zhengqing's words because they were the truth. It could be said that Lu Xuan was too cunning, or that they had underestimated him, but none of this could change the result. Sikong Nan had died in front of him, and he had been unable to save him. He had not even been able to catch the culprit.
Sikong Dong gritted his teeth, lowered his head, and said, "We did not do our job well, Old Ancestor, please punish us."
"Punish? Of course you will be punished! When you return, you will go into seclusion. If something as shameful as this happens again, you will kill yourselves! "Sikong Zhengqing said mercilessly.
However, even though it was called a punishment, it was not really a punishment. After all, Sikong Dong and Sikong Xi were not people who liked to move. If not for Lu Xuan's invasion, they would have been cultivating in seclusion.
"Yes, we will obey Old Ancestor's words." Sikong Dong responded and then immediately said, "Old Ancestor, Lu Xuan definitely does not dare to leave this Heaven Fiend Valley. In my opinion, it is extremely likely that he has escaped inside. Please, Old Ancestor, capture him and avenge my third and fourth brothers."
It was sad to say that two of the four Sikong Dong brothers had died at the hands of Lu Xuan. More importantly, he did not have the ability to take revenge himself.
Sikong Zhengqing raised his head to look into the depths of Heaven Fiend Valley and did not hurry to speak. Sikong Dong's request was just a joke to him. No matter if it was Sikong Nan or Sikong Bei, they were not worthy of him taking revenge because he did not care about them at all.
Of the four Sikong Dong brothers, Sikong Zhengqing only thought highly of Sikong Dong and Sikong Xi who were still alive. Sikong Xi had almost completely inherited the heartless way of the Sikong Family. In the future, he might become one of the pillars of the Sikong Family. Sikong Dong's personality was calm, thoughtful, and all-rounded.
As for the two who had died, Sikong Bei was too materialistic and did not want to live in seclusion, always trying to take power. Even less needed to be said about Sikong Nan. His temperament was not up to standard. He could not even break through a little heart demon and would not be able to take on great responsibilities. If the two died, then so be it. They were not worthy of his attention.
Of course, although he did not plan on taking revenge for the two, it did not mean he would not capture Lu Xuan. Ye Wenjun's threat from before still lingered in his ears. There was definitely something extraordinary about Lu Xuan for the Ye family to think so highly of him. It did not matter if it was because of his identity, potential, or something else that he did not know. However, he knew that as long as he controlled Lu Xuan, he would be of great use in dealing with the Ye family in the future.
After making up his mind, Sikong Zhengqing lightly waved his sleeve and said, "You guys go back first. I will go find him."
Sikong Xi responded and retreated. He had not wanted to stay here for a long time. This time, he had almost died at the hands of Lu Xuan, and it had affected him greatly. He had a feeling that if he could digest what he had gained this time, his strength would increase by another level.
However, Sikong Dong did not leave. Instead, he asked, "Old Ancestor, I will go with you. This time, we cannot let Lu Xuan escape again!"
Sikong Zhengqing glanced at him and said lightly, "If you want to go, then go."
Seeing Sikong Zhengqing float forward, Sikong Dong hurriedly followed behind. With Sikong Zhengqing's help, he had recovered a lot and was able to resist this level of killing intent.
Sikong Xi glanced at Sikong Dong's back and hesitated slightly. In the end, he didn't follow and walked straight out of Heaven Fiend Valley. After this incident, their relationship as brothers could be considered to have been completely broken. However, this was also good. The Heartless Way didn't need any friendship.
After walking for a while, the density of the killing intent suddenly increased. Sikong Dong immediately felt the pressure increase. Luckily, Sikong Zhengqing protected him at this time.
However, gradually, Sikong Zhengqing's footsteps became slower and slower. His eyebrows furrowed deeper and deeper. Seeing this, Sikong Dong's heart jumped slightly. The killing intent here was so strong that even the Old Ancestor could not resist it? Could it be that the rumors that the ancestors of the Sikong Family had not been able to thoroughly explore Heaven Fiend Valley were true?
Finally, Sikong Zhengqing stopped and turned to look at Sikong Dong, "Are you sure that Lu Xuan went deeper into the valley?"
"He has nowhere else to go. Before I came in, I already ordered everyone to guard the surroundings of Heaven Fiend Valley. Once Lu Xuan leaves, he will definitely be discovered by our people," Sikong Dong answered.
"That's strange. This place is almost my limit. If I go any deeper, even I will be in danger," Sikong Zhengqing said, not minding admitting his shortcomings.
Sikong Dong's expression was slightly ugly. Could it be that even the Old Ancestor would not be able to catch Lu Xuan? His idea of wanting to see Lu Xuan, alive or dead, was probably going to go down the drain.
At this time, a slight spatial ripple quietly came from the depths of Heaven Fiend Valley. Sikong Zhengqing's eyelids slightly trembled as his gaze immediately focused in the direction of the spatial ripple. It was as if he wanted to see through the thick killing intent and see everything inside.
"Could it be a misperception?" Sikong Zhengqing felt slightly surprised. He really wanted to go over and verify it, but he did not have the courage nor the ability to do so.
The ancestors of the Sikong family had not been able to thoroughly investigate Heaven Fiend Valley. He did not think that he had surpassed the ancestors of the Sikong family. Moreover, he could not let anything happen to him. If something happened to him, the situation of the Sikong family would instantly become very delicate. Forget about the Nine Eastern Alliance, even the Illusion God Sect of the current alliance would move against the Sikong family.
The so-called alliance was only a combination of benefits. For the Illusion God Sect, swallowing the Sikong family was definitely more beneficial than continuing the alliance with the Sikong family.
"Forget it, let's go back. Lu Xuan probably went too deep into Heaven Fiend Valley and died in the killing intent. "Sikong Zhengqing said.
Since Sikong Zhengqing had said so, Sikong Dong naturally had nothing to say. He had completely relied on Sikong Zhengqing's protection to come here. He did not have the strength to go forward alone.
"Lu Xuan must be dead. He could not have withstood this killing intent." Sikong Dong could only comfort himself like this.
Under Sikong Zhengqing's lead, the two of them hurried back even faster than before. Although the ending was not at all satisfactory, this was the end of the matter.
However, Sikong Dong had kept an eye on Lu Xuan and allowed the martial practitioners of the Sikong Family to continue guarding Heaven Fiend Valley. Even if Lu Xuan did not die, he did not believe that Lu Xuan would be able to survive in Heaven Fiend Valley for more than half a month.
As all of this was happening, a golden figure quickly traversed through the territory of the Holy Temple of Eight Directions. Little Tanuki was looking for Ao Ze and the others. It wanted to tell them about Lu Xuan's situation as soon as possible, and then ask the people of the Nine Eastern Alliance to save Lu Xuan.
But all of a sudden, Little Tanuki's figure paused in an instant. It sensed something and looked in the direction of Heaven Fiend Valley. Through the contract, it could clearly sense that Lu Xuan's aura had completely disappeared …
