At this time, most of the Qi family members turned their heads to the guard at the same time, looking at him faintly.
The excited expression on the guard's face suddenly froze, and his mind instantly became blank.
Only now did he finally remember how the family had dealt with those who had made big mistakes over the years.
It was just that in the past, he had always been a member of the group of onlookers. He never thought that one day he would be the one being watched.
"You have an important position, but you betrayed the family's trust, causing such a big loss in the mine … All the essence! The essence of the mine that we have never been willing to mine, are all gone! Everything is gone! "
The tone of the Talisman Artist, who was at the peak of the Saint realm, was extremely gloomy. He gnashed his teeth as if he wanted to eat someone.
The other Qi family members were also angry.
Such a big thing had happened, and everyone's heart was filled with a barrel of explosives.
The reason why there was no explosion just now was that everyone was still in a state of confusion and had not figured out what had happened!
But now they finally understood that it was the experts of the Horseshoe Bat Family who, through various means, had sneaked into the Qi family and committed such a big crime!
It was impossible for the Qi family to swallow this loss.
The image in the mind of the miner of the Qi family whose memory had not been erased was the evidence!
But before that, there were still things that needed to be settled.
For example, how did the bat of the Horseshoe Bat Family get in?
Who in the Qi family did he bribe?
Or did he secretly observe the whereabouts of the people of the Qi family who went out to do something?
Secondly, there were the guards of the mine.
The Qi family had the Demon-revealing Mirror!
As long as it was not a supreme existence, there was no way to hide in front of the Demon-revealing Mirror!
If the guards had been a little more responsible and used the Demon-revealing Mirror to check every time, would there have been such a disastrous loss?
"Take him away and execute him directly. As for the soul … Forget it, just let the soul go." The Talisman Artist, who was at the peak of the Saint realm, sighed and decided the fate of the guard.
This was already a relatively light punishment.
The guard of the mine wanted to cry out for injustice, but he was immediately sealed and taken away.
Bastard! A moment of carelessness caused the clan to suffer such heavy losses, and you still want to cry injustice?
After dealing with this seemingly clever but actually brainless guard, the group of Qi Family members sat together with incomparably solemn expressions.
"This matter is not easy to deal with."
"The Horseshoe Bat Family is not so easy to provoke. They are too poisonous!"
"The key problem is that the Demon Race is many times more vigilant than the Human Race. I'm afraid it won't work if we attack with great fanfare. If we really fight, both sides will definitely suffer."
"Also, I don't think those cunning monsters will recognize the miner just based on the remnant images in his mind!"
A group of high-level bigwigs sat there and discussed with solemn and melancholy expressions.
In the end, he decided that this matter could not be made public.
Not only would it be difficult to seek justice for oneself if he were to take revenge openly, he might even suffer an even greater loss.
If he wanted to take revenge, he could only resort to trickery!
"In terms of strategy, the demons can only eat our dust!"
"Yes, doesn't the Horseshoe Bat Family have a lot of minerals? If they do it once, we'll do it fifteen times … "
"What are you talking about? You haven't learned many things in the human world, but you have learned a lot of nonsense that people don't understand. "
In the end, the discussion was a bit off topic.
However, the Qi Clan finally came up with a plan. They were going to give the demons a taste of their own medicine.
No matter what, the Qi Clan wouldn't take the loss!
…
Chae Yi turned into a giant horseshoe bat and ran out of the Qi Clan. When she saw Han Bingxue, she told him how she changed the plan.
"Holy heavens! That's great!" Shan Gu was surprised.
Si Yin was also looking at Chae Yi with admiration. She thought she wouldn't be able to come up with such an idea if she was in Han Bingxue's position.
"I thought, 'None of the nine clans are good. I don't care who they are, let's just drag one of them into the mess first. Hatred is something that accumulates little by little, day by day. Suspicions were bound to erupt at some point. Once it completely exploded, even if they already knew the truth, they wouldn't have the ability to resist! At that time, we will turn from a conspiracy into an open conspiracy! "
Chae Yi was analyzing seriously. Han Bingxue sat aside and listened to her carefully with his bright eyes. He looked up at Chae Yi from time to time, and his eyes were filled with softness.
[These kids are all excellent in their own ways!]
She was a genius. Since she was born, she had grown up in the eyes of countless people.
That was why she was used to judging people by their talents.
In fact, she knew about Chae Yi and the others from a long time ago.
After Lin Zijin went to meet Shirō Makino, Han Bingxue, who was still hiding in the network, knew about Chae Yi, Si Yin, Shan Gu, and even Liu.
But at that time, she did not pay much attention to these little fellows.
They had never thought that they would be able to follow Little White all the way to this day. They could even sit in front of her and talk about how to plot against the high and mighty Ancestral Region Family!
This was definitely not something that Xiao Bai and Zi Jin would be able to bring about just because they possessed great fortune!
[These kids are excellent enough!]
Even Si Yin, who seemed to be the most cowardly one, didn't do it for herself when she absorbed the Ancestor Soul Crystal.
She did it for the whole team!
[Shan Gu is good too.]
[Hmm, better than before.]
[They talked too much nonsense before.]
As Chae Yi was talking, she noticed Han Bingxue's eyes. She was a bit embarrassed and said, "Sister, did I say anything wrong?"
"Oh, no. Good!" Han Bingxue looked at Chae Yi and gave her an affirmative answer. "You did a good job!"
Cai Yi's face finally revealed a smile.
Han Bingxue said, "The Huang Clan's plan is still their own business. They will look for us everywhere, but they won't find anything in a short time."
"As for the Qi family, although you have already pushed the conflict to the Horseshoe Bat family, we still have to do something about it!"
Han Bingxue blandly said, "Let's do something fun!"
Chae Yi and Shan Gu's eyes lit up!
They loved it!
Only a few of the higher-ups in the Qi family knew about this incident.
The people in the lower levels knew that something had happened in the mine, and a guard of the Qi Clan was killed because of it.
However, the people in the lower levels didn't have the right to know what had happened.
They did what they were supposed to do as usual.
The atmosphere was a bit tense, and they didn't dare to be as casual as before. However, it was nothing serious.
A few days later, a batch of goods from the Qi Clan was going to be shipped out.
Because of what had happened in the Qi Clan, the people who were in charge of the goods became more cautious this time.
Normally, they only needed two Supreme Master Stage cultivators to carry the goods.
Although it was said to be for defense, it was actually to go out for a stroll.
After all, it had been so many years. Who would be stupid enough to come to the Qi Clan and cause trouble?
However, this time, in order to be safe, the person in charge of the Saint Realm not only went with them, but also applied to the Qi Clan to add another Saint Realm cultivator.
Although many people did not understand why he was being so cautious, it was better to be safe than sorry, so no one said anything.
A group of people were escorting the goods, sitting in an ancient-looking flying instrument, flying to a big city about three days away from the Qi Clan.
This flying artifact looked like a sailboat. It was high up in the sky, flying at an extremely high speed.
Along the way, the two Sanctuary-realm powerhouses kept their spirits at 120%. They were very cautious, always on guard against accidents that could happen at any time.
But in reality, it was a peaceful journey. Nothing happened at all.
When they arrived at the big city, the process of trading with the buyer was also very calm. It was as usual, without any surprises.
The buyer even felt strange. [Why did the Qi Clan send two Saint Realm cultivators this time?
Did they come out for a walk because they were bored at home?]
The buyer could only make such a guess.
No one would have thought that such a big thing would happen to a family like the Qi Clan.
On the way back, the person in charge said to the Saint Realm cultivator who was invited over, "I'm really sorry to have made you go through so much trouble."
That person had a good relationship with him, so he smiled. "It's okay, it's a special time. Besides, I haven't been out for many years, so it's good to come out for a walk."
"Do you think it was really done by them this time?" the person in charge asked softly.
"It's hard to say. Actually, I think the other eight big families should have known about our mines a long time ago. Just like the pillar industries of the eight big families, don't we know about it? The reason why it's been fine all these years is because … "
The Sanctuary powerhouse who was invited pointed upwards and said softly, "The benefits they've given us are more than enough!"
The person in charge nodded. "Yes, with enough benefits, who would be willing to rob others? Besides, if there are no rules at all, wouldn't the Ancestral Region be in chaos if you scam me today and I scam you tomorrow? "
The person who was invited nodded. "Of course, it was like that in the past, but in the future … it's hard to say!"
He then sighed. "Think about it. Ever since we received news that the human world has changed, they haven't come up with any good solutions for the time being. Then, the salary given to us by the higher-ups … will decrease, won't it? "
"Heh, the human world has changed? What changes can happen in the human world? In my opinion, it's most likely because of the higher-ups … "the person in charge said with a sneer.
"It's better to be careful about this kind of thing. Although the other side won't sense it here in the ancestral territory, I think it's better to be cautious." The Sanctuary powerhouse who was invited said, "Back to the topic just now. Think about it, if the higher-ups cut our salaries by half, would the major clans panic?"
The person in charge frowned slightly and murmured, "I understand. You mean that the resources suddenly became scarce, and some of the big families began to have crooked ideas?"
The person in charge nodded. "That's what I guessed …"
"That's not a guess, it's most likely the truth!" The person in charge sighed. "The Chrysanthemum Bat Family … We have no enmity with them in the past, but I didn't expect them to be so insidious. If it wasn't for the fact that one person's memory hasn't been erased, I'm afraid we wouldn't even know who did it!"
"That's right. Also, think about it. Why is there only one death? Would the other party mind killing a group of miners for such a big thing? The reason why the miners are still alive is that the powerhouse of the Chrysanthemum Bat Family doesn't want others to know who did it, right? "
"That's right!" The person in charge slapped his thigh. "That's right! Because as long as someone did it, there will be traces of it from the wounds. If they were completely annihilated, it would be easier to find out the process by going back in time! "
The two analyzed and discussed in the flying magical artifact. For a moment, they forgot their purpose of coming out.
Until —
Rumble!
There was a loud noise!
The flying magical artifact was like a lonely boat swept up by a huge wave. It was thrown high in an instant, and then suddenly sank.
A large number of people from the Qi Family were caught off guard, and many people were injured on the spot.
For a time, screams rang out.
The supervisor and the two Saint-level experts who had been invited over were instantly enraged.
They flashed out of the flying magical artifact.
But the person who did it had already disappeared!
"Damn, who's so wicked?" The person in charge looked at the seriously damaged flying magical artifact, and his whole person was seething with anger.
The person who was invited also had a serious expression on his face as he said in a deep voice, "It seems that this matter is really as serious as I expected!"
"Is it also the Chrysanthemum Bat Family this time? It doesn't make sense, right? "The person in charge frowned.
At this moment, a cry of alarm came from the flying magical artifact. "Sir, it's not good, our ancestral spirit crystals … have been stolen!"
"What?" The person in charge and the person who was invited were stunned on the spot!
The two flashed back into the flying magical artifact, and came to the area where the ancestral spirit crystals were kept.
They found that the person in charge of the safekeeping had fainted, and there was a huge shoe print on his face, as if he had been kicked hard in the face.
The ancestral spirit crystals that had always been on his body had long since disappeared.
"When did this happen?" The person in charge and the Saint who was invited were both stunned, and at the same time felt bursts of heat on their faces.
It felt like they had been slapped hard in the face!
The other party had stolen the ancestral spirit crystals from under their noses!
Although there were not many, only a dozen or so, this matter was too frightening.
In this way, the Qi Family's trade route was tantamount to a major crisis.
Would they dare to take this road in the future?
The key point was that the person who did it was too cunning, and too skillful.
To be able to do this under their noses, the other party's realm … was definitely not weaker than theirs, and might even be stronger!
The person who was invited took a deep breath. "When we go back, tell the truth, and suggest that the higher-ups make early plans. It seems that the situation in the human world is much more serious than we thought! So much so that many families have gone crazy! "
"Many families?" The person in charge looked at him.
"Yes, this matter was definitely not done by the Chrysanthemum Bat Family." The person who was invited pointed to the unconscious man on the ground. "Look at the shoe print on his face!"
"This shoe print?" The person in charge frowned slightly. "Is there something wrong?"
"Doesn't it look like someone from the Zhu Family?" The person who was invited sneered. "Few people will notice such details, but I am different. I have always been a particularly careful person! If you don't believe me, you can go to the dungeon and mention anyone from the Zhu Family. Look at their shoes, and you will understand everything! "
The person in charge looked at the person who was invited with a face full of shock. "You are a great talent, but you have not been put in an important position for so many years? What do those big shots in the family do for a living? Do they sit in a position without doing anything? "
"Hey, hey, hey, be careful with your words! Let's not talk about the decisions of the big shots. Anyway, after we go back, as long as we report it truthfully, there will be no problem. Even if they don't deal with it, we brothers will not have any responsibility. " The person who was invited had a face full of certainty. At this moment, his face seemed to be shining, like a destitute scholar who was not put in an important position.
…
On the way back, Shan Gu looked at Han Bingxue and asked, "Sister Xue, do they really notice the shoe print?"
"Such an obvious shoe print on the face. Anyone with a bit of intelligence in their head should notice it. The clans in the ancestral area have been living in peace for countless years. They have almost lost their vigilance. However, when something like this happens, someone will stand out. Don't worry. If they are so stupid that nobody can notice it, it doesn't matter. There will be chances in the future! "
For Han Bingxue, it was just like planting a seed in the ground. She didn't care whether it would sprout or not, or when it would sprout.
As long as she planted more seeds in the ground, there would always be more.
After finishing this job, they immediately left.
The Qi Clan wasn't some lowly clan. After being provoked again and again, they would definitely be furious from top to bottom. Next, they would definitely set up a trap and wait for people to jump into it.
That was why they had to quit while they were ahead.
It was time to go back and deal with the Zhu Family.
They planned to sneak in and break the Zhu Family from the inside, but it seemed it was unnecessary now.
Half a month later.
A caravan of the Zhu Family was robbed!
A batch of very important goods had been robbed. Not only had everyone been knocked unconscious, their memories had also been completely erased!
However, many things in the world were destined to happen.
There was always a way out!
When the Zhu Family was investigating the case, they found a few witnesses!
A group of young kids ran out from some unknown clans. There were boys and girls, about five or six of them. They happened to witness the short fight with their own eyes.
However, when the Zhu Family took the kids back, something unpleasant happened.
The kids didn't want to cooperate.
They even shouted arrogantly and even killed a guard of the Zhu Family who was also a bit hot-tempered.
The Zhu Family was furious. Some superior cultivators of the Zhu Family forcibly took the kids back to the Zhu Family.
After a round of interrogation, the Zhu Family told them what happened.
Some powerful cultivators of the Zhu Family even got the information of the attacker from the spiritual mind of one of the young men!
However, the young man suffered a lot. Although he didn't turn into an idiot, he had a splitting headache. He shouted that he wanted the Zhu Family to pay the price.
Very soon, the identity of the figure extracted from the eyewitness's mind was confirmed — he was a Saint Domain expert of fairly high status in the Qi Clan!
Once the incident happened, people guessed that it was the Qi Family.
The Zhu Family and the Qi Family didn't get along well. When the young people of the two families met, there was a high chance that they would fight.
Although something like this had never happened before, the Zhu Family didn't think it was strange after they confirmed that it was the Qi Family.
After all, the hatred between the two families was obvious!
Coincidentally meeting and seeing that there was no one around, greed rose in their hearts … Hmm, it was reasonable!
If it wasn't for a group of young men passing by and seeing it from afar, this incident would probably remain a mystery forever!
The Zhu Family was enraged, but so were the few youths.
One of the young girls saw the young man whose memory was extracted kept wailing. Her face turned pale and she shouted, "Zhu Family, right? You're just a dog family of the Pantheon Temple. You're finished this time! No one can save you! "
A Zhu Family Elder looked coldly at the girl and said, "You're just a kid. Don't be so arrogant! You accidentally encountered bandits and were robbed of your money and sex. Finally, you died a horrible death … What do you think of this ending? "
The Zhu Family Elder didn't really want to do that. He still wanted them as evidence in the future.
It was just that every one of them was a little arrogant. In the vicinity of the Zhu Family, there were no other big clans except for them. Therefore, although this group of kids talked big and said that the Pantheon Temple was a lackey family, they were just a bunch of ignorant brats. They had probably heard about this from their elders since they were young!
Not all the native forces in the Ancestral Territory were backed by the Gods of the Pantheon Temple!
It was the same reason why the locals looked down on outsiders. Even if they were poor, they still had a sense of superiority.
However, the little girl was not scared at all. She sneered and said, "Zhu, don't try to scare me. My surname is Baili. As for the others, one is from the Ouyang family, one is from the Dugu family, one is from the Xue family, and the last one is from the Zhao family. As for the last one whose memory was forcibly extracted by you, you would never have guessed that his surname is Zhao!"
