"Master Patriarch, are you going back to your hometown directly?" the guard driving the car asked Zhang Shizhao.
"Let's go to Tianxiang Villa first." Zhang Shizhao said.
"Yes." The guard pulled the reins of the horse and drove toward the outskirts of Kaiyuan City.
"I have placed all the descendants of the sect alone in Tianxiang Villa. Firstly, I am worried that outsiders will learn our sect's martial arts skills, and secondly, I do not want outsiders to know their true identities." Zhang Shizhao explained.
After thinking for a while, he added, "Another point is that they are all queens of the sect, and their strength is still much stronger than the guards I hired from outside, and they are absolutely grateful to the Zhang family.
, placed elsewhere, it can also be used as the hidden power of our Zhang family. If it comes to a critical moment of life and death, it may be able to save the lives of the Zhang family."
Zhang Shizhao originally didn't want to talk about this. After all, such an arrangement was too selfish and was not good for his image. However, after a brief contact with Ling Chuxi, Zhang Shizhao was impressed by her inadvertent display of strength and
I am more and more impressed by my mind and have decided to return to the sect, so I don’t want to hide it anymore.
"You are right to arrange this. I think back then, if our Jindan Sect had a backup plan, we might not have ended up like that." Su Yizhi did not show any displeasure, but said thoughtfully.
Ling Chuxi's heart moved slightly, and Su Yizhi's words reminded her. Previously, she had wanted to let the Zhang family and other descendants of the sect return to the gate as soon as the Qianzhongling incident was over, but then she changed her mind.
If the full strength of the Jindan Sect is exposed to other sects without reservation, if there is any major crisis, the Jindan Sect may repeat the mistakes made thousands of years ago. Perhaps, if this force is left in Qianzhongling, then
It's also good to be a surprise soldier.
However, we still don’t know the intentions of the Zhang family and those behind the sect. If they insist on returning to the Jindan Sect, their decision may chill them, so Ling Chuxi just thought about it and did not make a decision immediately.
.
Ahead, several fast horses galloped towards each other, and the sound of intensive hoofbeats became even more urgent at night.
"Brother Zhou, is the patriarch back?" Seeing the guards beside the carriage, the man reined in the horse and asked anxiously.
"Yuan Zhen, why are you here? Where is Elder Yuan?" Zhang Shizhao opened the car curtain and asked the young man leading him. Hearing the young man's voice, he thought it was Elder Yuan who had received the news and sent someone to greet him, but looking at him
The anxious look on his face doesn't look like that.
On the way here, Zhang Shizhao had already introduced to Ling Chuxi and Su Yizhi the situation of the descendants of the sect who had taken refuge in the Zhang family. Among them was the Yuan family, whose ancestor was one of the four elders of the Jindan Sect in the past.
, whose status is second only to the Su family and the Qiu family. On the day the sect was destroyed, Elder Yuan was seriously injured and managed to escape. Later, he wandered around until he met the Zhang family and settled down in Qianzhongling. Zhang Shizhaokou
Elder Yuan here should be his descendant.
"Master Patriarch, something bad has happened. A group of masked men in black broke into Tianxiang Villa at night. These people are so powerful that even I, Elder Yuan, was seriously injured. The other brothers were guarding Zixiang Garden. We finally broke out.
Asking for help." After saying this, Yuan Zhen suddenly fell off the horse.
Only then did Ling Chuxi and others notice that there were several shocking wounds on Yuan Zhen's back, with the skin open and flesh dripping with blood.
