"Interesting." Tan Xiu let out a faint smile upon hearing it.
"That's not all." Miao Wentang forced a wry smile. "The Lian Family has been very low-key all these years, to the point that it's abnormal. I once tried to send someone to investigate the situation of the Lian Family, but guess what happened? The people I sent were like stones sinking into the sea, without any news. In the end, they were never seen alive, and their corpses were never found. "
"Have you figured out the situation of the Lian Family?" asked Tan Xiu calmly.
"I've figured it out. I've personally investigated them many times and finally confirmed that the Lian Family is very abnormal and evil. Their clan had used some sort of method to ensure that all of their clan's Old Ancestors were able to survive. The oldest among them was over two hundred and sixty years old. It's just that the Lian Family's ancestors rarely go out and even rarely leave their ancestral shrine. "
Tan Xiu nodded and said, "This Lian Family is indeed very evil. It can even be described as evil. However, I've killed the Lian Family's Patriarch, the two ancestors, and more than 20 experts of the family. My purpose in coming to Ning City this time is to eradicate this malignant tumor of the Lian Family. "
Miao Wentang's eyes instantly widened with an incredulous look on his face. Miao Fengling at the side was dumbfounded and dumbfounded as she looked at Tan Xiu.
The Lian Family's Patriarch, Lian Bai … is dead?
Miao Wentang gulped and asked in shock, "Brother Tang, what's the situation with the Lian Family? How did you have a conflict with them? "
"There's no enmity between me and the Lian Family." Tan Xiu shook his head. "A few days ago in Chang City, I happened to run into a group of people from the Occult Sect who have enmity with the Lian Family. I originally had no intention to intervene in their enmity. But the Lian Family's ancestor suddenly unleashed a Ghost artifact to devour the souls of the dead. I learned from the Lian Family's ancestor that this Ghost artifact is called the Nine Fetuses of a Hundred Ghosts Streamer. "
Ghost artifact?
Devouring souls?
"There's such an evil weapon in this world?" Miao Wentang was aghast.
"I didn't think about it before, either." Tan Xiu nodded and said, "But ever since I found the Nine Fetuses of a Hundred Ghosts Streamer, I knew that this kind of Ghost artifact does exist. In order to successfully refine a Nine Fetters of Hundred Ghosts Banner, it should need to devour seven hundred and seventy four hundred and ninety souls, and then torture these souls for many years, finally causing these souls to become muddle-headed resentful spirits, which are energy filled with resentment. "
"Evil!"
Miao Wentang's heartbeat sped up, and a furious expression appeared on his face.
"Maybe I wouldn't have bickered with them if the Lians killed people who deserved it." Tang Xiu nodded and said, "But they even killed ordinary people. I don't know how many innocent people have died tragically in their hands over the years in Yangchi. I think the clansmen you sent to investigate the Lian Family's intelligence might have met the same fate! "
"What?"
Miao Wentang's expression suddenly changed and he abruptly got up from the sofa. Killing intent flashed in his eyes as he said, "Brother Tang, I finally understand why so many ancestors of the Lian Family have survived. I also finally understand why the Lian Family is so evil. Don't these bastards fear the cycle of the Heavenly Dao and karma? "
"The Lian Family has fallen into the demonic path," sneered Tan Xiu.
Miao Wentang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Brother Tang, my family wouldn't have easily become enemies with the Lian Family if we didn't know about this. But now, we must eliminate the Lian Family and destroy those evil Ghost artifacts. What do you think we should do, Brother Tang? My family will fully cooperate with you. "
Tan Xiu pondered for a moment and then asked, "How many cultivators does the Miao Family have?"
"Only me," answered Miao Wentang with a forced smile.
"You were already a cultivator when we first met," said Tan Xiu with a puzzled expression. "Why are you the only cultivator in the Miao Family until now? Why don't you teach them cultivation arts? "
"It's a rule set by our ancestors that only one person can cultivate in the Miao Family," said Miao Wentang. "That person is the Patriarch of the Miao Family. Furthermore, the main reason is that we're worried that the Miao Family will have an internal power struggle and the brothers will kill each other. "
Tan Xiu suddenly understood and nodded. "Your current cultivation is high enough, and there's still a lot of room for improvement in the future. If you can, you should break this rule. The Miao Family is good, especially with you overseeing it. I'm sure there won't be any big trouble in the future. "
"Brother Tang, when you taught me a more profound cultivation art, you said that I'm not allowed to teach it to others. This …" said Miao Wentang hesitantly.
"I didn't know the nature of your Miao Family before, so I naturally didn't want a large number of cultivators to appear," said Tan Xiu. "I've changed my mind now, but my original intention is still the same. You can teach it to your Miao Family's members with good aptitude and character, but not too many. You must know that you'll need a huge amount of cultivation resources when your cultivation reaches a certain level in the future. I'm afraid it'll be difficult for your Miao Family to support ten cultivators with profound cultivation with the current wealth you have. "
Miao Wentang's expression slightly changed. He pondered for a while and then said, "Since you said so, then I'll choose some good members of your family later and teach them cultivation arts. I can change the rules left by our ancestors, but I'll also make a new rule. The number of cultivators in my Miao Family must not exceed ten. "
"How about we go to the Lian Family tonight?" Tan Xiu nodded approvingly.
"Are we going to attack the Lian Family directly?" asked Miao Wentang with a moved expression.
"Know the enemy and know yourself, and you'll be victorious in every battle." Tan Xiu shook his head. "I may have absolute confidence in myself, but there have been many people in this world who have failed miserably. Hence, we're just going to investigate in secret tonight and figure out the Lian Family's real strength before we act. "
Miao Wentang sighed and said, "Brother Tang, your character is simply terrifying. Miao Wentang sighed. "If I had your terrifying strength and so many powerhouses as your subordinates, I'm afraid I would have long become unbridled. No problem. Let's go to the Lian Family tonight. "
"It's better to be safe than sorry," said Tan Xiu with a smile. "Nowadays, society is peaceful and flourishing, and the risk factor is very small. But if you go to another place one day in the future where cultivators are everywhere and powerhouses are as numerous as the clouds, I'm afraid you'll die in a few days if you're not careful. "
"Where is that place?" asked Miao Wentang.
"I can't tell you now." Tan Xiu waved and said, "Even if I tell you, it won't bring you any benefits. Just cultivate well! If you become strong enough to surpass the Nascent Soul Stage one day in the future, I can tell you and even give you a huge opportunity. "
"Alright!"
Miao Wentang was shocked inwardly and nodded excitedly.
In the early hours of the morning.
Tan Xiu and Miao Wentang quietly left the Miao Family Manor. As for Mo Awu, Xue Yu, and the others, they were all left by Tan Xiu in the Miao Family Manor. This time, he only went there to investigate some intelligence, so he didn't want to bring too many people.
At the Lian Family's place.
It occupied an area larger than the Miao Family's. However, it was not in Ning City, but in the northwest of Ning City near the Qilian Mountains. Apart from the wide and flat road to the south of the Lian Family Manor, as well as a village a few kilometers away, the other three sides were surrounded by dense woods.
In the dim light of the night.
Tan Xiu and Miao Wentang were like ghosts in the dark, silently approaching the Lian Family Manor. Tan Xiu had seen countless traps and hidden guards in the dark, but Miao Wentang rarely saw such a situation. Miao Wentang, on the other hand, had rarely seen such a situation. He kept discovering the hidden figures of the Lian Family, as well as all kinds of traps and surveillance devices.
"What a surprise!"
In a hidden corner in the dark, Miao Wentang looked at the two-and-a-half-meter-high blue brick wall and faintly sighed.
"What did you expect?" asked Tan Xiu in a low voice.
"I didn't expect the Miao Family's defense to be so strong today," said Miao Wentang in a low voice. "I came here more than a decade ago, but I didn't find anything unusual. There's no defense at all. We started from a few kilometers away and came here. We found more than a dozen Lian Family guards, more than a dozen traps, and dozens of surveillance devices. I think the others would've been discovered long ago if it weren't for the two of us. "
"The more I think about it, the more I feel that the Lian Family is not ordinary." Tan Xiu nodded. "But now, I suddenly regret killing the Lian Family's Patriarch so easily."
Miao Wentang said, "The Lian Family's Patriarch has always been the core member of the family. He's also the one who knows the most about the Lian Family. If we can interrogate him under torture, I'm afraid we can get a lot of useful information. "
"Let's go inside!"
Tan Xiu took out two Invisibility Talismans and gave one to Miao Wentang. Then, his figure soared into the air and directly flew over the electric net on the high wall, quickly entering the Lian Family's manor. Miao Wentang's expression slightly changed. He watched Tan Xiu boldly fly and directly jump over. He secretly cursed inside. However, he recalled Tan Xiu's strength and gritted his teeth and jumped over.
Inside the manor.
A variety of fresh flowers were planted in the dense woods, exuding a floral fragrance amidst the majestic night breeze.
"Brother Tang, why did you come in so boldly?"
After Miao Wentang caught up with Tan Xiu, he lowered his voice and forced a smile.
Tan Xiu let out a faint smile and didn't explain to Miao Wentang. Instead, he directly walked toward the other end of the woods. Even at the edge of the woods, two men of the Lian Family were smoking there, yet he boldly walked past them.
"What? Didn't Tan Xiu say he's coming to investigate? Isn't he afraid of being discovered when he walks over so boldly? "
Miao Wentang wanted to call out to Tan Xiu, but the next scene almost made his eyes pop out.
Tan Xiu walked to the front of the two smoking middle-aged men of the Lian Family. Then, he stopped and waved at Miao Wentang with a smile.
Miao Wentang was completely dumbfounded. He never dreamed that he would see such a strange thing. Tan Xiu obviously stopped in front of the two men of the Lian Family, yet they acted as if they didn't see him and still smoked and chatted.
"What the hell!"
