The Wen Family was a big family in the Void Realm. They were even bigger than the Fan Family. The Fan Family had been defeated once and was no longer as strong as before. They could only hole up in the Thundercloud Star.
However, the Wen Family was different. The Wen Family was an established big family in the Void Realm. The Wen Family's branch families were almost all over the Void Realm. The Wen Family's main family was in the Heaven Bath Planet.
The Wen Family was definitely an overlord in the Heaven Bath Planet. It was much stronger than the Fan Family's control over the Thundercloud Star. The Wen Family had its own branch in every city on the Heaven Bath Planet. The Wen Family's main family was like the Ku Ba Ye Family. It was a city completely made up of the Wen Family's members. It was called the Sun Bath City.
The Wen Clan could be said to be the king of the Heavenly Bath Planet. Everything on the Heavenly Bath Planet belonged to the Wen Clan. All the merchants who opened shops on the Heavenly Bath Planet had to pay taxes to the Wen Clan. Anything that happened on the Heavenly Bath Planet would be handled by the Wen Clan. It would be more appropriate to call it the Wen Clan's Planet.
Wen Shunjiang was the current Patriarch of the Wen Family. Although the Patriarch of the Wen Family didn't have much ability, the Wen Family was stable in his hands. Although the Wen Family didn't develop much, they didn't make any mistakes.
Wen Shunjiang was now sitting in the Wen Family's meeting room. He looked at the people sitting below. There were nearly a hundred people in the meeting room. These people were the Hall Masters of the Wen Family's branch families.
Wen Shunjiang looked at them and said, "Everyone knows about the Fan Family. Our Wen Family is quite far from the Thundercloud Star, so we didn't manage to gain any advantage. But that doesn't matter. I heard that the Zhang Family, Chen Family, Liu Family, and Zhou Family didn't manage to gain any advantage either. The Fan Family's treasury has already been emptied. It can be said that they worked for nothing this time. Hehe."
The people in the meeting hall also laughed. They also felt that the Zhang family and the other three families had lost more than they gained. This time, they really didn't get anything good, and they even bore a bad reputation. In the Void Realm, doing such a thing to destroy a family would not have a good reputation.
Wen Shunjiang waved his hand, and everyone stopped laughing. Wen Shunjiang then said, "But we can't just laugh at the Fan family and the other families. We have to pay attention to what happened before the Fan family was destroyed."
Someone beside the docile Jiang Bie said, "Father, you mean to say that Zhao Hai went to sweep the Fan family's place?"
Wen Shunjiang nodded and said, "Yes, I'm talking about this matter. The Fan family was destroyed because of their own reasons. But you also have to pay attention to another thing, and that is Zhao Hai's previous actions. Zhao Hai went to sweep the Fan family's place and made them pay a large sum of money. Then, Fan Zheng was poisoned to death, and then the Fan family's internal strife. I think these things are related. But at the same time, I want everyone to look at this matter in two parts. No matter what the reason is, the Fan family's internal strife has nothing to do with us. But Zhao Hai sweeping the Fan family's place and killing Fan Zheng, I think it must be related to the Life and Death Arena."
At this point, Wen Shunjiang paused and looked at the people below. The faces of the people below had an expression of approval. It can be seen that they agreed with Wen Shunjiang's statement. In fact, people with discerning eyes could see that these two matters were related to the life and death arena.
Wen Shunjiang continued, "When Zhao Hai swept the Fan Family's territory, Wen Liang went to Thundercloud Star. Wen Liang said that after Zhao Hai swept the Fan Family's territory, the Fan Family began to make moves on the other life and death arenas on Thundercloud Star. Wen Liang said that after Zhao Hai swept the Fan Family's territory, the Fan Family began to make moves on the other life and death arenas on Thundercloud Star. Wen Liang said that after Zhao Hai swept the Fan Family's territory, the Fan Family began to make moves on the other life and death arenas on Thundercloud Star. Their main purpose was to retaliate against the life and death arenas on Thundercloud Star. But when the Fan Family began to infiltrate the other life and death arenas, the Fan Family suddenly died in their cave residence. It was said that someone poisoned the air. This made the Fan Family suspect that someone inside the family was behind this, so they began to clean up the Fan Family. This led to the internal strife of the Fan Family. Although we don't care about the internal strife of the Fan Family, we suspect that Fan Zheng's death was caused by someone inside the family. But I don't think that's the case. The reason why the Fan Family wanted to kill Fan Zheng was to warn the Fan Family that they should be honest and hand over the life and death arenas that they occupied as soon as possible. But it's clear that the people in the Life and Death Arena didn't expect things to turn out like this.
The members of the Wen family began to discuss in whispers. They knew some of what Wen Shunjiang said, but they didn't. Now, it seemed that Fan Zheng's death was very likely related to the Life and Death Arena.
Wen Shunjiang looked at everyone and said in a deep voice, "It's hard to say whether Fan Zheng's death has anything to do with the Life and Death Arena, but I think that Fan Zheng's death is very likely caused by the Life and Death Arena. It's understandable that the Life and Death Arena wants to deal with the Fan family because the Fan family controls several Life and Death Arena to amass wealth for their family. The Life and Death Arena will definitely not allow this to happen. At the same time, we have to be vigilant. Although the Wen family doesn't control the Life and Death Arena to amass wealth for us, we have also participated in the salary extraction plan. Our Wen family has also participated in several assassinations of talents groomed by the Life and Death Arena. If the Life and Death Arena's revenge on the Fan family is just the beginning, then they might make a move on our Wen family one day, so we must be careful."
The voices of the Wen family's hall masters became louder. At this moment, Wen Shunjiang's eldest son said, "Father, do you think the Life and Death Arena dares to do this? This is almost equivalent to becoming enemies with all the aristocratic families. Do they dare? Do they want to monopolize the Void Realm? "
Wen Shunjiang shook his head and said, "Hailang, you're wrong. The Life and Death Arena has never intended to monopolize the Void Realm. What the Life and Death Arena wants the most is to maintain its independence. The management of the Life and Death Arena must be independent, and the aristocratic families can't interfere. However, this matter is precisely what the aristocratic families can't agree to. If the Life and Death Arena were to be managed by us, how much would our annual income be? Therefore, the Life and Death Arena will take revenge on us, but they might not deal with us like how they dealt with the Fan family. I think they might carry out a counter-assassination. "
Wen Hailang looked at Wen Shunjiang and said, "Counter-assassination? They will also carry out an assassination on our Wen family? Impossible, right? Do they have the guts? Just based on Old Man Tang? "
Wen Shunjiang glanced at Wen Hailang unhappily and said in a deep voice, "When the time comes, don't underestimate Old Man Tang. Moreover, you have to give him the appropriate respect. When the Life and Death Arena was handed over to Old Man Tang, there were only a few dozen sub-arenas. It wasn't at its current scale at all. It was only after Old Man Tang took over that the Life and Death Arena developed rapidly. I admit that Old Man Tang has done a lot for the Life and Death Arena, and I also admit that our Wen family has received a lot of dividends from the Life and Death Arena over the years. However, he manages the Life and Death Arena like an independent king. This is something we can't allow. Do you know how Old Man Tang made the Life and Death Arena become like it is now? It's because of his ruthlessness. Back then, in order to make the Life and Death Arena independent, Old Man Tang slaughtered many large families. He's old now, but don't underestimate him. "
Wen Hailang lowered his head and nodded. However, there was still a trace of dissatisfaction on his face. Wen Shunjiang didn't pay attention to him. Instead, he turned to the other members of the Wen family and said, "From now on, order the branches on the other planets to pay attention. Tell them to prevent assassinations from the Life and Death Arena. At the same time, increase the vigilance on Planet Heaven. If any stranger enters Planet Heaven, investigate his background. At the same time, keep an eye on him. Don't …" Before he could say 'allow', someone knocked on the door of the meeting hall.
Upon hearing this, Wen Shunjiang's face couldn't help but show a trace of displeasure. He turned his head to look at Wen Hailang. Wen Hailang immediately opened the door to the meeting hall. A cultivator was standing outside the door. Wen Hailang knew this person, he was an elder of the Wen family's Internal Affairs Hall. Wen Hailang looked at him and said, "Uncle Leng, what's the matter? We're in the middle of a meeting."
Elder Ling said in a solemn voice, "Eldest Young Master, please report to Family Head that Wen Yuhe was poisoned to death in his own closed-seclusion abode."
When Wen Hailang heard this, he couldn't help but stare. Then his expression changed as he asked, "What happened?"
Before Elder Leng could answer, Wen Shunjiang's voice was heard, "Hailang, what happened? Who's here? "
Wen Hailang immediately went to Wen Shunjiang's side and whispered, "Father, it's Elder Leng. He said that Yuhe was poisoned to death in his cave."
When Wen Shunjiang heard this, he couldn't help but stare. At this time, the people in the Conference Hall burst into an uproar. The people in the Conference Hall weren't weak. Although Wen Hailang's voice was very low, everyone could still hear him.
The death of a person in the Wen Clan wasn't a big deal. There were a lot of disciples in the Great Clans. Every day, there would be disciples who would go out and train. It was normal for some disciples to be killed. However, Wen Yuhe's death was absolutely abnormal. First of all, Wen Yuhe was in seclusion in the Wen Clan's forbidden area. Ordinary people didn't know about this place. Even if it was the Wen Clan, not everyone knew about this place.
Second was the way Wen Yuhe died. He was poisoned to death in his cave. The way he died was almost the same as Fan Zheng's. This couldn't help but attract people's attention.
Third was Wen Yuhe's identity. Wen Yuhe was Wen Shunjiang's grandson. Moreover, he was one of the grandsons that Wen Shunjiang valued the most. Such a person was poisoned to death in his own home. This wasn't a trivial matter. Therefore, the elders present were in an uproar.
Wen Shunjiang was the first to react. His face was ashen as he said, "Alright, let's end the meeting here. Let's go and see what's going on." After saying that, he stood up and walked out. The others quickly followed.
Outside the meeting hall, Elder Leng was still standing there. Wen Shunjiang looked at Elder Leng and said, "Elder Leng, tell me what's going on." As he spoke, his footsteps didn't stop. He went straight to the forbidden area behind the Wen residence.
Elder Leng followed Wen Shunjiang and said, "Reporting to the Lord. Today, Elder Chen, who was in charge of the forbidden area, said that he suddenly heard a sound coming from Young Master Yuhe's cave. After that, there was no sound. He immediately used his spiritual force to pay attention to Young Master Yuhe's cave. He found that Young Master Yuhe's face had turned black. Naturally, when he opened the formation to enter the cave, Young Master Yuhe was already dead."
Wen Shunjiang said, "What's the situation at the scene? Is it protected?" When Wen Shunjiang heard Elder Leng, he was even more certain that Wen Yuhe's death was the same as Fan Zheng's.
Elder Leng replied, "It's been protected. Moreover, a preliminary investigation was carried out. Nothing suspicious was found." As they spoke, they arrived at the forbidden area behind the Wen Clan's mountain. Soon, they arrived in front of an immortal's cave. There were at least ten Teleportation Realm cultivators guarding the cave. When these people saw Wen Shunjiang and the people behind him, they immediately bowed to them.
Wen Shunjiang didn't pay attention to these people. Instead, he warmly said, "Elder Leng, Elder Hai, Elder Ming, Elder Zhen, and Elder Yin, come with me. Everyone else stay outside." After he said that, his figure floated into the air and flew into the cave. The others did the same. They didn't go in directly, instead, they floated inside.
This cave wasn't big. It was specially prepared for cultivators who were in seclusion. The entire cave was only a few dozen square meters. There was nothing inside, only a jade lamp at the top. In the middle of the cave was a praying mat. But now, a person was lying on top of the praying mat. This person looked very young, only around 20 years old. He wore a navy blue cultivator robe and looked very handsome. However, his face was now black. His eyes were wide open, he had completely lost his vitality.
When Wen Shunjiang saw this person's appearance, his face couldn't help but flash with a trace of heartache. However, he was still angry. But he still coldly said, "Search the cave carefully. Don't miss a single inch." Wen Hailang and the others nodded. Then they immediately searched the cave carefully.
This Immortal's Cave could be said to be the simplest Immortal's Cave. The whole Immortal's Cave was not big, there were no other rooms, and there was no place to hide people. It could be said to be clear at a glance. In such a place, there was nothing to search.
However, a cultivator's search wasn't the same as an ordinary person's search. Not only did they have to check if the immortal cave was damaged, but they also had to pay attention to see if there were any residual spiritual qi fluctuations or residual elements. These things could become clues that could lead them to Wen Yuhe's murderer.
However, after searching for a while, Wen Hailang and the others couldn't help but feel a little disappointed because they didn't find anything. There was no damaged place in the cave, no residual spiritual energy fluctuations, and no residual poison. This place was just like an ordinary cave, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
It wasn't just Wen Hailang and the others who were looking at the cave. Wen Shunjiang was also looking at the cave. He looked more carefully than the others, but he also didn't find anything.
