The He Clan had a history of more than seven hundred years. It was a top-notch clan that was more than ten times stronger than the three major clans of Fuyang City combined.
Therefore, even though the He Clan's headquarters, Jadeite Mountain Villa, sounded ordinary with the word 'villa' in its name.
However, the Jadeite Mountain Villa was almost as big as Fuyang City.
"Junior Sister He Ting, according to the He Clan's strength, history, and territory, how could there be so few people in the clan?"
The black bear came to a beautiful valley.
Yu Haoran asked in confusion as he looked at the endless courtyards and pavilions in the valley and felt the rich Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth in the valley.
After all, even for the unranked Yu Clan, the number of direct descendants, branch descendants, and servants in the clan added up to more than ten thousand people.
However, the total population of the exterminated He Clan was less than two thousand people.
"Yu Shixiong, our He Clan walks the path of the elite."
"If a descendant of the clan has an average performance in the talent test when they come of age, then they will be arranged to work in some of the clan's businesses outside the clan. They will be allowed to work to support themselves."
"Even the talented clansmen who stay in the Jadeite Mountain Villa have to be able to support themselves."
"Therefore, even if we are direct descendants with outstanding talents and potential, we don't have any maids or servants to serve us. We have to do everything ourselves." He Ting explained in detail.
"I see!"
Hearing the He Clan's way of training their disciples, Yu Haoran couldn't help but nod his head and praise.
"No wonder your He Clan has a history of more than seven hundred years. This method of training your disciples is really good."
… …!
Even though the He Clan was exterminated not long ago, the loss of all lives in an instant caused the entire valley, or rather, the entire Jadeite Mountain Villa to be filled with an extremely oppressive atmosphere.
Looking at the half-opened door of the villa, the He Sisters revealed a sorrowful expression on their faces.
Fortunately, they had already experienced it once. They quickly put away the sorrow in their hearts and reached out to push open the door of the villa.
It was the He Sisters' duty to bury the dead and rest in peace!
However, in order to find out who the murderer of the He Clan was, the He Sisters did not touch the corpses in the villa.
Therefore, Yu Haoran saw corpses lying everywhere in the villa as he pushed open the door.
Inside the villa, other than the corpses that were strewn all over the place, Yu Haoran unexpectedly smelled a familiar scent.
And this familiar smell very likely had a lot to do with the He Clan being exterminated.
Stepping into the villa, Yu Haoran began to observe the wounds on the corpses as well as the messy footprints on the ground of the villa.
Just by observing the thirty corpses, Yu Haoran could basically confirm that the culprits who annihilated the He Clan should be a group of bandits.
Moreover, through the footprints left on the ground, Yu Haoran knew that this group of bandits was not only powerful, but also had been established and existed for a very long time.
Combining all the clues left at the scene, three suspicious targets appeared in Yu Haoran's mind.
However, if he wanted to rule out two of the suspects, he needed to investigate further.
"Junior Sister He Ting, may I know who the strongest person in your He Clan is?"
If he wanted to determine which of the three bandit factions did it, he needed to know who the strongest bandit was.
Therefore, Yu Haoran hoped to confirm it through the corpse of the strongest person in the He Clan.
"It's my grandfather!"
He Ting's voice unconsciously revealed a trace of arrogance.
"Before the incident, my grandfather was already a peak ninth grade Martial King. Recently, he was preparing to break through to the Martial King realm."
"Can you bring me to see your grandfather's corpse?"
"Yu Shixiong, this way!"
Nodding their heads, the He Sisters brought Yu Haoran directly to the easternmost part of the villa, to a medicinal field with extremely dense Spiritual Qi.
At the edge of the medicinal field, there was a simple wooden house built with a wooden tower.
"Yu Shixiong, my grandfather once said that the greatest enemy in a cultivator's life is actually himself. The easiest way to destroy one's will is to indulge in luxury and enjoyment."
"Therefore, he built a wooden house by himself on this side of the medicinal field and spent most of his time cultivating here." Pointing at the wooden house in the medicinal field, He Ting's voice was filled with deep respect as she introduced it.
"As the saying goes, it's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality!"
"For an old man like him to be able to restrain his greed for enjoyment and maintain the most ordinary life, he is indeed worthy of our admiration and learning." After hearing He Ting's introduction, Yu Haoran sincerely praised.
"Thank you, Yu Shixiong, for your praise!" Hearing Yu Haoran's heartfelt praise for their grandfather, the He Sisters felt very happy.
"Junior Sister He, where is your grandfather's corpse?"
After looking around, not to mention a corpse, there was no trace of a fight at the scene.
"Yu Shixiong, come with me!"
Faced with Yu Haoran's question, He Ting did not explain too much. She only brought Yu Haoran to the wooden house.
He Ting stood in front of the wooden house for a while before pushing the wooden door open.
"Battle of Divine Senses!"
Looking at the white-haired old man sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed with a peaceful expression, Yu Haoran did not need to examine carefully to know the true cause of the old man's death.
However, if he wanted to know the opponent of the white-haired old man in the battle of Divine Senses, he would have to trouble Thaling to use the power of his soul to make a more detailed judgment.
Stepping into the wooden house, the familiar smell became even stronger. Following the direction of the smell, Yu Haoran saw a fist-sized piece of light yellow metal on the bookshelf on the east side of the wooden house.
"Dark Gold Stone!"
Ignoring the white-haired old man sitting cross-legged on the wooden bed, Yu Haoran walked straight to the wooden shelf.
Yu Haoran's unexpected action also attracted Thaling's attention. After seeing the light yellow metal on the wooden shelf, she could not help but exclaim.
The Dark Gold Stone was a very special material. It could be used to refine magic tools, and it could also be used as an auxiliary medicinal ingredient to refine pills. It could also be used to set up formations and draw talismans.
Therefore, dark gold stone had another name, which was Mother Stone.
"Junior Sister He Ting, where did this material come from?" Pointing at the dark gold stone on the wooden shelf, Yu Haoran asked.
"Yu Shixiong, our He Clan has a total of two gold mines, three silver mines, and one bronze mine. As for which mine this light gold stone came from, I am not very sure."
After carefully examining it, He Ting shook her head. She was also unsure of the true origin of the dark gold stone.
"Yu Shixiong, although all the direct descendants of the He Clan have been killed, the people in charge of the six mines are fine."
Just as Yu Haoran planned to personally visit the six mines to confirm the true origin of the dark gold stone, He Yu, who had been standing outside the door, suddenly spoke.
"If Yu Shixiong wants to know the true origin of this stone, I can use a special method to inform the people in charge of the mines to come here!"
"Then I will trouble Junior Sister He Yu!" Yu Haoran nodded happily.
