Wu Yuting and Zuo Xiaonian did not expect Zuo Xiaoduo to pick up the call.
What … What was going on?
This should not be happening!
After two rings, the call was picked up. The voice was very low, but it was clear that it was Zuo Xiaoduo's voice. "Nian Mao?"
Zuo Xiaonian snorted and said fiercely, "Doggy! Where are you? "
Zuo Xiaoduo's voice was heard. "I … I am in the trial …"
"What's so great about the trial? Everyone knows …"
Zuo Xiaonian was about to say something, but the phone was snatched away by Wu Yuting. "Xiao Duo! Where are you? "
Zuo Xiaonian was stunned. Why was her mother in such a hurry? She called him Xiao Duo instead of Doggy …
Zuo Xiaoduo was obviously stunned. Then, he shouted excitedly, "Mom?! Ahhhh … You and Dad are back? "
"Cut the crap. Tell me where you are!"
Wu Yuting said angrily, "Hurry up and tell me the truth."
"I'm … Um, I'm training in a remote mountain … Ahem, the signal here isn't very good … I couldn't contact Nian Nian Cat before, but now that I've been able to contact her, everything's fine … I'll be back in a few days, and I've already told you that I'm safe. Don't worry, your son's cultivation has improved tremendously, and he's invincible now …"
Hearing that his parents were back, Zuo Xiaoduo was happy. However, he was more worried. If his parents came and met the old man …
They might not be able to defeat the old man. After all, the old man was at the top of the world. Even if his parents were big shots, could they be as strong as the old man?
Once the enemy met, they would be furious. His parents would be implicated.
Now that he had reported his safety, he could hide in the space of the Tower of Emptiness. He did not believe that the old man could wait for him for long!
"Cut the crap!"
Wu Yuting said angrily, "Hurry up and say it!"
"Ahem, I'm not far from the Sun Moon Pass. It's very safe …" Zuo Xiaoduo said vaguely.
"Umno Alliance?" Wu Yuting immediately guessed.
"Ahem, you can say that … Mom, I'll talk to you later. There's still a battle here."
Before Wu Yuting could say anything, the phone was hung up.
Wu Yuting had a murderous look on her face.
"He actually landed in the Umno Alliance! Humph! Flood, that old bastard … How does he discipline his subordinates? "
Then he called Zuo Changlu. "There's news about Xiao Duo. He's at the Umno Alliance. I just talked to him on the phone."
…
As Zuo Changlu interrogated him, the killing intent in his heart grew stronger and stronger.
Even though he didn't want to be contaminated by the filth of the world, he had already been contaminated. So, it didn't matter if he was contaminated more!
Once he let go of his scruples, everything would be solved. The relevant matters were almost understood.
The beginning and the end of the matter were just a few families who were annoyed by Qin Fangyang's interference. In order to ensure that there would be no accidents and that their children could be promoted smoothly, they dealt with Qin Fangyang, who had been jumping around happily.
Anyway, this kind of thing had been done countless times in the past years. Everything was familiar to them.
So far, the only oversight was when they were arresting Qin Fangyang. Qin Fangyang somehow sensed his danger in advance and always kept a very cautious state of stealth. When the people who dealt with him caught up with him, Qin Fangyang had already left Shang Jing City and entered the Wilderness.
Naturally, the six high-level killers wouldn't let him go. They chased him all the way and caused a big battle in the Death Valley in the north of Shang Jing City. In this battle, Qin Fangyang exploded five doppelgangers and seriously injured three of them. However, his head, chest, back, and Dantian were fatally injured seventeen times, and he fell down the cliff!
When Qin Fangyang fell down, the three uninjured killers were still in a killing intent. They threw their long swords out of their hands and pierced through Qin Fangyang's body!
The bottom of the Death Valley was a bottomless dangerous place. Once, someone flew down 13,000 meters, but he still couldn't explore the bottom. He encountered dense poisonous fog. For some unknown reason, there was infinite poison gathered below. However, the fog seemed to be locked by some clever tactical formation and didn't rise.
However, anyone who fell into the poisonous fog for some reason was doomed to die. There was no exception. Therefore, the Death Valley was called a dangerous place.
At this point, even Zuo Changlu couldn't help but sigh.
Qin Fangyang's hope of survival was very slim. He was almost doomed to die!
This result caused Zuo Chang to fly into a rage.
Zuo Changlu wouldn't let go of any of the participating families.
Even the families who didn't participate, Zuo Changlu wanted to clean them up as long as they had controlled the Dragons Fighting for the Heritage!
At this moment, he had already cleaned up the fourth family!
When he was about to continue to clean up the fifth family, he unexpectedly received a call from his wife. He blocked the space and answered the call. He was overjoyed.
His son didn't die!
And the specific location was sent back!
Since his son didn't die, Zuo Changlu immediately changed his current plan.
It wasn't that Zuo Changlu stopped killing because he heard that his son didn't die. It was because he shouldn't be the one to deal with this matter!
If Qin Fangyang was still alive and Zuo Xiaoduo was dead, then everything would be done by him. But from the current situation, it was impossible for Qin Fangyang to still be alive, but Zuo Xiaoduo had news that he was still alive!
Then, the work of avenging Qin Fangyang had to be done by Zuo Xiaoduo. As his father, he couldn't overstep his boundaries!
The reason was very simple. Zuo Xiaoduo was Qin Fangyang's most valued disciple. It was because of this disciple that this matter happened.
If Zuo Xiaoduo couldn't settle this grudge, it wouldn't be a good thing for Qin Fangyang and Zuo Xiaoduo!
Therefore, Zuo Changlu immediately stopped.
Let Qin Fangyang's disciple take the last step.
"What a pity."
Zuo Changlu's heart was full of regret.
He had planned to have a good talk with Qin Fangyang after he came out of seclusion. They could really become friends.
Although there was a huge disparity between the two of them in terms of status and cultivation, Zuo Zhanglu still believed that Qin Fangyang was a friend worth making!
But now, he didn't have the chance!
Zuo Changlu didn't deal with the Diwu family anymore. Instead, he snorted and said, "The mighty Ancestral Dragon has been reduced to a place of hiding evil. So what if I'm dealing with it? It really hurts my heart!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and his body slowly disappeared.
Zuo Zhanglu knew everything about Qin Fangyang in his heart. He didn't miss out on anything.
It wasn't difficult to do this, but it wasn't easy at all.
After Zuo Changlu came in and mentioned Qin Fangyang's name, he immediately performed the Heavenly Soul Search on the few people who didn't look right.
All secrets were laid bare before his eyes under this top-notch soul-searching technique. Not a single detail was left out.
The Soul Search was an operation that targeted the person's Divine Soul. The Divine Soul of a person was difficult to cultivate. It was already unusual to be able to master the Soul Search.
However, whether it was an ordinary person or a cultivator, the Divine Soul was an extremely fragile part of the body. Once it was damaged, it was difficult to repair. Therefore, the Soul Search shouldn't be used unless it was a last resort. This was a recognized iron law in the cultivation world.
Once it was used, in addition to causing irreparable damage to the Divine Soul of the person whose Soul Search was performed, the memory obtained by forcibly collecting the Soul Search was often only a small part of the person's memory fragments. There might not be any memory that was needed. Moreover, the Soul Search couldn't be repeated several times. Basically, after one time, the person's Divine Soul would be seriously damaged and would be no different from an idiot!
However, Zuo Changlu's Heavenly Soul Search was different. He used his own Divine Soul to look at the target's Divine Soul instead of forcibly capturing the Divine Soul. His cultivation had reached the peak of the world, and so did his Divine Soul. The target's Divine Soul Search was relatively weak. They couldn't resist Zuo Changlu's Divine Soul Search at all. They couldn't even notice that their Soul Search was being carried out!
In the blink of an eye, Zuo Zhanglu scanned through all of the other party's memories. He could easily restore the truth and determine all of the related criminals. After completing all of this, all of the target's details had been completely exposed.
They didn't know anything about it!
Going back to the beginning and end of the whole thing, it could be said to be an accident, but it might not necessarily be a long-term habit.
For a long time, the matter of the Dragon Race for the Heritage in the Ancestral Dragon Gauntlet of Shangjing had been a secret circle of interests.
It was jokingly called the 'Cradle of the Leadership' by insiders.
The number of people who entered the Dragon Race for the Heritage was announced to the public every time it was announced to be twenty-four.
But in fact, the real number was thirty-six.
The extra twelve places were the benefits that belonged to the 'Cradle of the Leadership'.
The royal family, the aristocratic families, and the big clans divided the twelve places, and it was basically impossible for these twelve people to go to dangerous places in the future. For example, they would never go to places like the Sun Moon Pass.
It wasn't easy to get a place and divide the luck. Their future progress was guaranteed, and they were destined to go further than the others. Whether it was their starting point, luck, or luck, they were much better than the ordinary people.
Such a talent, in addition to a deep foundation, had martial strength, brains, and connections … In a few years, they would be able to climb to a high position in the Empire and become the mainstay of the family.
How could such a mainstay talent be sent to the battlefield to be sacrificed? It was better to stay in the family and stay in the Empire to take charge of the overall situation!
This was the wisest and most reasonable way to deal with it!
And as time passed, as the effect of participating in the Dragon Race for the Heritage was too good, the number of people who were jealous naturally increased day by day.
Slowly, the few families who originally had vested interests gradually couldn't withstand the pressure. They used many operations to reduce the number of places for the Dragon Race for the Heritage again, and used this to reduce the pressure on themselves.
In the beginning, only six of the original twenty-four places were given to certain families. In name, it was to reward the descendants of the meritorious deeds.
After all, the established twelve places were not known to the outside world. It was natural to give a part of the known share.
In recent years, there had been a change in the number of people. Nominally, it was said that there were too many people fighting for the heritage, and it was not beneficial to share the luck. The total number of people announced by the officials was reduced from the original 18 to 12!
In fact, the six places that were reduced by the officials were transferred to the relevant families who had interests!
In this way, the official twelve places announced to the public, but there were a total of twenty-four places. The number of people was under the category of under-the-table operations.
However, there was still a considerable amount of room for manipulation on the surface of the twelve places.
In the simplest way to describe this situation, it was: internally determined!
This kind of internal determination was initially targeted to the well-known geniuses, such as Zuo Xiaoduo, Li Chenglong, and the like. If it was internally determined like this, all parties would relatively approve of it.
After all, those who benefited from the Heritage would be blessed with luck, and those geniuses would be bound to do their best for the safety and well-being of the continent in the future. In terms of the overall situation, it was in line with the overall interests!
But later, the extent to which the royal family of Shang Jing and several big families benefited from it, they increasingly witnessed the benefits of the Heritage. They were more and more reluctant to share the benefits with ordinary people outside their circle. Not to mention that many families in Shang Jing also expressed their intention to have a share of the profits. Finally, it evolved into the current interest circle of the Heritage that the twelve families jointly established to control the Heritage.
The transactions here were shocking to the eye, mottled and full of bloody paths.
Once the huge interest circle was formed, whoever dared to extend their hands would naturally be suppressed by the other families!
And Qin Fangyang, with a fearless attitude, barged in. For the future of his students, and for He Yuanyue's last wish, Qin Fangyang did not know the pros and cons. Even if he knew, he would still go forward without hesitation.
In this matter, the royal family and four of the old families who had vested interests did not make a move.
The ones who did make a move were the new families in recent years, namely the Lu Family and the Bai Family.
In their eyes, Qin Fangyang's action was a violation of their established interests, which was a provocation to the main family. Based on the principle that they had been used to for hundreds of years, they just casually ordered, "Get rid of him!"
And then, this matter happened.
After Qin Fangyang's accident, these families, as usual, split up and acted with tacit understanding. Those who needed to deal with the traces did so, those who needed to erase the influence did so. Those who needed to throw out other things to attract the public's attention were also doing the same. All the follow-up traces, including the bystanders and those who might know … were all eliminated. For these families, this was something that they were very familiar with!
After all, they had been doing this for so many years, and they could not be more familiar with it.
They did it very well, so much so that even the Supervisor Bai Yunduo did a secret investigation, but she did not find any clues!
However, no one said anything about it. The main reason was that no one really put in the effort to investigate, and no one, no force, had the ability to go against these local tyrants in Shang Jing, and pull out the teeth from the tiger's mouth.
But this time, it was different, completely different!
Behind Qin Fangyang, there was an iron plate that was beyond their knowledge!
After climbing so many mountains, they finally met a ghost!
No, it should be that they met a god, the guardian of the mainland of Astral Souls!
The Fan Family, the Lu Family, the Wang Family, the Bai Family, the Yin Family, the Zhong Family, the Zhou Family, and the Shen Family.
Every single one of these eight clans had something to do with the matter of Qin Fangyang making a move.
The original royal family, the Lan Family, the Yang Family, and the Xia Family, the real four big families, who also had the most vested interests, did not make a move in Qin Fangyang's incident this time.
Now, in the hearts of these few families, it could be said that they were greatly relieved. Even if they were still held accountable, at least it would not be a calamity that would wipe them out.
Among the eight families involved, Zuo Changlu had already singled out the Fan Family, the Lu Family, the Bai Family, and the Yin Family.
These few families were definitely done for, and there was no turning back.
The Minister did not need to say anything, just his attitude of singling them out, and they were already done for, without any luck.
Furthermore, the Minister had singled out Qin Fangyang, who was one of the top ten fugitives of the Eastern Army, and this matter would definitely reach the ears of Commander Dongfang.
With Commander Dongfang's famous temper of protecting his own, and the Minister's implicit support …
Originally, Zuo Changlu wanted to settle everything, but now that he suddenly knew his son's whereabouts, he naturally left this matter to his son to deal with.
It was still the same sentence.
It was the same reason why Yun Zhonghu and Bai Yunduo did not directly take action: "Every injustice has its perpetrator, every debt has its debtor."
As Qin Fangyang's student, Zuo Xiaoduo avenged his teacher, and it was right and proper. If he took action, it would be overstepping his authority.
Therefore, Zuo Zhanglu decisively cut him off and swaggered off.
The remaining four families, who had already felt the impending disaster, could not help but let out a long sigh of relief.
It was too frightening!
Just now, they clearly felt that their families were done for, but they did not expect that there would be a turn of events.
It seemed that the Minister only investigated those four families, and did not investigate us.
If that was the case, then that would be great!
As long as the Minister did not convict us on the spot, no matter how those families bite us, we can deal with them. At most, we will give up some benefits, and abandon the rook to save the king. Compared to the entire family, a few benefits are nothing!
Since arriving, the Emperor, who knew that the Minister was investigating the matter of the dragons fighting over the veins, did not dare to come in at all, and had been waiting outside. At this moment, he could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
"Pass down the decree, Fan, Lu, Bai and Yin families, and all related officials, are to be dismissed and investigated! These four families, with nine generations as the limit, will use all their manpower to set up an inescapable net to capture and investigate the case of Teacher Qin's murder! "
"We must let the heroic souls rest in peace in the underworld!"
"Ancestral Dragon Gao Wu will be reorganized from today onwards. Department Head Ding of the Martial Arts Department will be in charge of this matter."
"As for the shares of the dragons fighting over the veins, come up with the most fair and appropriate distribution plan as soon as possible!"
At this moment, no one would object to the Emperor's words, including the seven families who previously regarded the dragons fighting over the veins as their private property. This time, not only did they not dare to have the slightest objection, but they kept quiet out of fear that the slightest movement would cause trouble for themselves.
Now, everyone was very clear in their hearts: The most important thing now was to extricate their families from this matter, and then they could talk about other things.
His life was his top priority, and his family's safety was his top priority!
It was really too frightening!
The four families that had been entrenched in Shang Jing for more than two thousand years, were completely uprooted with just a few words, and there was no longer any chance of survival!
Although nominally, they still had to go through the judicial process, everyone was still clear in their hearts.
Everyone in the four families, from top to bottom, would not be able to survive.
Only the subordinates of the Heavenly King of the Right, and the generals of the Great Marshal Dongfang, would not be spared.
One had to know that this time, they had a good reason to act. They had the support of the number one in the world, the guardian of Astral Souls, behind them.
How could that group of people not take the opportunity to make a move? If they did not turn the world upside down, it would not be over!
In the following period of time, Shang Jing City would be in troubled times, and it would become a place of trouble.
It was better for everyone to be more honest.
If they could successfully survive this dragons fighting over the veins, it would be a blessing from the Heavenly Official, a blessing from the Heavens.
…
The wind blew in the sky.
Zuo Changlu and Wu Yuting had already met up.
"Let's go to the Umno Alliance immediately!"
Wu Yuting's attitude was very decisive. She could not wait to find her son now, hold the puppy in her arms, and kiss him properly.
She really missed it too much!
Her son was in the Umno Alliance, and that was a dangerous place. How could that be?
"Although there is definite news from my son's side, I still feel that there is something strange about this matter."
Zuo Changlu frowned.
"You didn't kill everyone, did you?"
"No. Your call came at the right time. Since Xiao Duo is still alive, I naturally have to leave some for Xiao Duo."
Zuo Changlu sighed and said, "Although this will damage my reputation, Qin Fangyang is Xiao Duo's teacher. If Xiao Duo can't avenge his teacher with his own hands, it will inevitably be a great regret in his life."
"In the future, when he dreams at night, he will often feel that he has wronged his teacher. And this guilt will accompany him for the rest of his life. Therefore, this kind of situation naturally has to be avoided. "
Wu Yuting deeply agreed. "You're right."
The two of them began to discuss going to the Umno Alliance together to pick up the puppy.
Zuo Xiaonian was listening at the side, and she insisted on going with them.
After being scolded by Zuo Changlu with a stern face, she pouted and became obedient.
Just as the two of them were about to leave, Zuo Changlu suddenly received a phone call.
At first glance, he couldn't help but be surprised. He said, "Hey, is it from Hu Tou? He just left for a night. Why is he calling? "
So he answered, "Hu Tou?"
Zuo Changlu frowned. "What's the matter?"
"Cough, cough, cough … This … That …" On the other side, Yun Zhonghu's strange voice sounded as if he was in a mess in the wind.
He stuttered the whole time and couldn't even speak clearly.
As two people who had watched Yun Zhonghu grow up, they could imagine that the King Of Zuolu was probably in a state of complete confusion at this time.
"What's the matter?"
Yun Zhonghu's voice was already breaking down. "We've found the whereabouts of Youngest Junior Brother …"
"You've found it?"
Zuo Changlu frowned. "I already know. I also got the information about Xiao Duo's whereabouts."
“！！！”
Yun Zhonghu's tone was extremely surprised. "You … are actually … not angry?"
"Angry?"
Zuo Changlu was immediately puzzled. "What's going on? What did you find on your end? "
Yun Zhonghu's voice was messy in the wind. "After Youngest Junior Brother's portrait was sent to Riyue Pass, there was news from there … They said that on the day Youngest Junior Brother went missing, someone took him to visit the Cemetery of Martyrs … and entered the Martyrs' Palace …"
Zuo Changlu: "???"
Hearing this, the Minister's eyebrows slowly twisted into a rope. He was keenly aware that there was something unusual going on.
"Tell me exactly what happened."
Yun Zhonghu was about to speak when he heard Wu Yuting's phone ring.
When Wu Yuting saw it, she immediately cried out in joy. "I really don't know what kind of good day it is today. My dad actually took the initiative to call me. It seems that today is destined to be a day of reunion. Yes, Xiao Duo and Little Nian haven't seen him yet …"
…
