Yun Zhao did not dare to talk back. He hurriedly selected a group of people and left the city at night.
The rest of the people were envious of Yun Zhao. At least Yun Zhao did not have to face Yun Chen's wrath anymore. Who knew how much more he wanted to vent his anger?
The death of his favorite grandson meant that his ambition was destroyed. When he lost his mind, it was hard to guarantee that he would not do something outrageous.
Therefore, everyone's hearts were filled with anxiety and fear.
"Elder, isn't it too much of a coincidence that Chao got into trouble this time? He's usually fine, but as soon as the eldest and second elders came back, something happened? "Someone began to try to divert the conflict.
"Yes, I don't believe that the Jiangs have the ability to do that. There are only a few surviving members of the Jiangs. Jiang Kui and Jiang Xinyue are both younger than Chao. Their cultivation might not be higher than Chao's. What's more, Chao has so many guards and attendants. "
To avoid Yun Chen's wrath, these people took the initiative to analyze the situation.
Yun Chen was not influenced by them. He glanced at them coldly. "What are you trying to tell me by saying all this nonsense? Are you telling me that Chao 'er was killed by the eldest and second elders? "
His subordinates saw that his tone was not right, so they all shut up. At this moment, no one wanted to argue with Yun Chen.
If they did not know what was good for them, they would be courting death.
While the situation was getting awkward, there was suddenly the sound of hurried footsteps coming from outside. Yun Chen's wife, son, and daughter-in-law came.
These people were Yun Chao's closest relatives. Including Yun Chao's grandmother and parents.
For a moment, the hall was filled with cries.
Although the Yun family had done countless evil things, they were still the same as normal people.
They did not feel the pain of killing other people's children. But when it was their turn, they knew what heart-wrenching pain was.
"Father! You always said that Chao was like you, that he would definitely inherit your position in the future, and even go further. You always wanted him to show up in public, and you always wanted him to be in the limelight. Now, he's dead. Are you satisfied now, Elder? "
The one who said this was not Yun Chao's father, but Yun Chao's mother.
"Impudent! How can you speak to your father like that?" Yun Chao's father scolded. However, this rebuke was extremely weak.
After scolding him, he wailed, "Chao 'er, Chao' er, I've let you down. I've let you down."
Originally, Yun Chen's mood had recovered a little, but after hearing the wails of his wife and son, he became even more distraught and distressed.
With a dark expression, he said, "Take them away."
The crying had already interfered with his thoughts and made him even more upset. The most important thing right now was to avenge Chao 'er, find out the cause of his death, and find out the truth.
How could he calm down when his family was crying?
With great difficulty, Yun Chen finally managed to bring Yun Chao away. Suppressing his grief, Yun Chen began to examine Yun Chao's fatal wound.
The wound was not difficult to find. It was an arrow.
The fatal arrow directly passed through one ear to the other, piercing through the side of the head. Looking at this technique, it was obvious that he had killed the Heavenly Venerate with a single strike. Before he died, he did not suffer much.
"What a ruthless technique!" Yun Chen's eyes flickered with deep anger. The technique used to shoot the arrow was extremely brilliant. It was obviously not the work of an ordinary person.
"Clan Elder, Chao is rarely in trouble. Logically speaking, one of his followers would have escaped. Why did they all choose to escape? Could it be that there was a traitor among these followers? Colluding with the enemy? Chao did not notice? That's why he was plotted against? "
"That makes sense. They betrayed their master for glory. After the incident, they took the benefits and escaped from the capital. These bastards, after catching them, they skinned them and used them as fodder. "
Attendants, any one of them, were carefully selected. If it was said that one or two of them betrayed their master for glory, it was possible. But to say that all the followers betrayed their master for glory, that was completely unreasonable.
However, if they did not betray their master for glory, why did not a single follower return? Were they forced to leave by the murderer? This was obviously not very realistic.
If the murderer was so strong, why would he need to drive away his followers? Wouldn't it be easier to kill them all?
Could it be that these followers escaped on their own? Even Yun Chao's corpse, were they the ones who hid it?
Yun Chen's expression became more and more unsightly.
He faintly felt that this was highly possible!
Yun Chao might not have been killed by these followers. But the corpse must have been hidden by these people. Why? They must be afraid of being blamed after returning, so they simply scattered and fled.
In order to buy time to escape, they hid the corpse. The later the matter was exposed, the more time they had to escape.
Thinking of this, Yun Chen felt as if his chest had been hit hard. If all this was so, what did it mean? It could only mean that Yun Chen's usual behavior was too unpopular.
If these followers did not know that they would die if they returned, why would they escape? It must be that Yun Chao was assassinated, and it might not be because they did not protect him well enough.
There was only one reason for them to escape. That was, they thought that after returning, with Yun Chen's usual tyranny, he would definitely not let any of them go.
Out of fear, they hid Yun Chao's corpse to buy enough time to escape. Moreover, they even took Yun Chao's identity token with them.
After thinking about it for a while, Yun Chen had more or less confirmed it.
However, who was the one who shot this arrow? Someone from the Jiang Family? An expert from the Yin-Yang Academy? Or was it really as his subordinates suspected, that it was done by the First Clan Elder and the Second Clan Elder?
Just like how he did not kill the Sixth Clan Elder, he instinctively felt that it was impossible for the First Clan Elder and the Second Clan Elder to deal with Yun Chao.
But, from the results, Yun Chao was dead. The ones who benefited the most were definitely the First Clan Elder and the Second Clan Elder. There was no doubt about this.
Hence, Yun Chen was extremely conflicted at this moment. On one hand, he did not believe that this was internal strife, and that it was done by the Yun Family. On the other hand, he could not help but think in that direction.
…
The news of Yun Chao's death was not concealed. Even in the middle of the night, this shocking news still spread throughout the capital.
For a moment, the situation in the capital became even more delicate. It was like a barrel of gunpowder that could explode at any time.
When the various branches of the Yun Family heard this news, they all felt an indescribable chill.
All kinds of suspicions, like a plague, spread within the Yun Family.
Many people in the Yun Family felt that Yun Chao's death might have been secretly done by the First Clan Elder.
There were even people who thought that the Second Clan Elder's sudden return to the capital, could it be that the Second Clan Elder was the one behind all this?
