Some astute people speculated decisively that the Dongfang family must have suffered a big loss during this treasure hunt.
Even the Tianyi Sect, to which the family was attached, could not take advantage of it! At first, many clan members stood up to refute, completely unwilling to accept this speculation.
But as other news spread rapidly in Sanfang City, they had to believe that those speculations were probably true! Rumbling! In the Duan family's mansion, the treasure-hunting flying boat slowly landed.
Many family elders and elite disciples quickly stepped forward, preparing to welcome the family master back.
But the next scene made their expressions change, and they felt deeply uneasy! The only people who got off the flying boat were Duan Tianzhu, the second elder from the Taishang, and Duan Moyan, the third elder from the family! Behind them, there were only a few accompanying elders.
The head of the family, Duan Yuyan, and the elder were supposed to return with them, but they were nowhere to be seen! "Hiss!"
"What's going on?"
"Where are the head of the family and the great elder?"
"Is it possible that... this treasure hunt is not over yet, and they are still searching in the Lingyuan Mountains?"
The tribesmen murmured in low voices and discussed one after another.
But they themselves also felt that this guess seemed unreliable.
As the person with the highest combat power in the treasure hunting team, it seems that Duan Tianshu, the second elder of Taishang, should stay in the Lingyuan Mountains.
Moreover, many tribesmen discovered that both Duan Tianchu and Duan Moyan were injured, and Duan Tianchu's injuries were even more serious than the latter's! The tribesmen looked at each other, with a bad premonition in their hearts.
"Where are the Supreme Elder, the Third Elder, the Patriarch and the First Elder?"
"Are they... still hunting for treasure in the Lingyuan Mountains?"
Several senior elders couldn't help their doubts and stepped forward to ask.
"This question...I will give you an explanation at the elders' meeting later!"
Duan Tianzhu spoke slowly, his face frighteningly gloomy.
"This..." Everyone looked at each other, feeling increasingly uneasy.
This atmosphere is completely wrong! "By the way, where is Ji Heng?"
Duan Tianzhu's face turned cold and he asked coldly.
"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, Ji Heng is retreating in the guest hall to heal his injuries."
"Bring him to the main hall!"
Duan Moyan gritted his teeth and said.
"bring?"
The family elders frowned and hesitated.
"Forget it! I'll go see him off personally!"
Duan Tiance shook his head and snorted coldly, then strode towards the guest hall.
Duan Moyan followed him closely, his face also extremely gloomy.
"Send...him?"
"Supreme Elder, what does this mean?"
"Don't you want him to stay in our family?"
The elders all frowned, feeling very strange.
Although they didn't have much favorable impressions of Ji Heng, in any case, he was also a master at the peak of the Fate Realm.
Moreover, he has betrayed the Ji family, and he might be able to break through to the reincarnation realm one day and become a great help to the family.
You may not always be able to invite such people, so why send them away?
When Duan Tiance and Duan Moyan came to the guest hall, they opened the door and walked in.
Rumbling! The noise woke up Ji Heng and made him very unhappy.
"Ji Heng, how is your injury...recovering?"
Duan Moyan asked in a deep voice, his expression unusually cold.
Ji Heng was a little annoyed at first, but after seeing the person clearly, he had to suppress his resentment.
After all, he lives under someone else's roof and doesn't have to worry too much.
"You two came a little early, and I'm still a little short of the heat, but it won't take too long. At most, my injury will be healed in two or three days. By then, the Ji family will be able to add another general.
!”
Ji Heng nodded heavily, with a look of pride on his face.
"Two or three days?
Huh, no need!"
Duan Moyan shook his head and sneered, his eyes turning cold.
"What do you mean, Third Elder?"
Ji Heng heard something was wrong in the words and frowned tightly.
"Cut the nonsense!"
Duan Tianzhu took a step forward and pointed at Ji Heng angrily: "You have caused so much trouble to our Duan family, and it is impossible to redeem yourself with a hundred deaths! Today, I will personally send you on your way, and use your blood to pay homage to the heroic spirits of the family head and the great elder!"
"Hiss! What did you say?"
Ji Heng's face changed drastically when he heard this, and he was horrified and shocked! According to what Duan Tianshu meant, Duan Yuyan and Duan Shuyan were already dead?
What exactly happened on this treasure hunting trip in the Lingyuan Mountains?
Electricity flashed in Ji Heng's mind, setting off waves of turmoil! "Wait a minute! What exactly did you encounter in the Lingyuan Mountains, and why..." "You should ask the head of the family and the great elder about this question!"
"Damn it! No..." Rumbling! Duan Tiance took action in anger, and the yellow palm prints shone in the guest hall.
With a desperate scream, Ji Heng exploded into a ball of blood mist and died! "If it weren't for this disaster, how could our Duan family be in such a situation?"
Duan Tiance's anger was still lingering after the murder, and he gritted his teeth and cursed.
"Third Elder, call the family elders immediately for discussion. From now on, the burden of the entire family will fall on you!"
"Yes, second uncle!"
Duan Moyan's body trembled, and incomparable ecstasy surged in his heart! The death of the family head and the elder gave him a good opportunity to ascend to the throne. At this moment, he suddenly felt extremely grateful to Jiang Tian.
If the other party hadn't taken action to kill those two people, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to come forward in this life!... At the same time that Jiang Tian was running away towards the north of the Lingyuan Mountains with all his strength.
I don’t know how many thousands of miles away from here, in a mysterious palace in a very far place, a simple and mysterious magic circle aura protruded, producing strange fluctuations! At the end of the hall, a majestic-looking old man in red robes
Sitting cross-legged on the high glazed throne.
His eyes were tightly closed, and the slender eye slits extended left and right like two narrow valleys to both sides of his brow, which looked quite mysterious.
And above his forehead, there are two golden horn-shaped protrusions, which add a bit of mysterious charm out of thin air! The old man's aura is deep and unpredictable, and his red hair is extremely conspicuous. Every time he breathes in, it makes the people in front of him...
The void trembled, and the person with the highest level of cultivation was terrifying! At the same time as he felt the strange movement of the magic circle, the old man's narrow eyes suddenly opened, as if the canyon suddenly opened! Rumbling! A dull roar echoed through the hall, red.
The lustful light burst out wildly from those strange eyes, spreading like a tide! The void shook violently, the entire palace and even the whole world trembled. The warriors outside the palace were shocked to the point where their bodies shook violently and their faces changed.
Change! "Hiss! What's going on?"
"Ancestor...has he opened his eyes?"
"What happened that could cause the ancestor in seclusion to 'open his eyes' early?"
"Could it be that the ancestor gained enlightenment and ended this retreat ahead of schedule?"
"Impossible! You don't know the temperament of our ancestor. During his tens of thousands of years of practice, he has already forged an unshakable state of mind and will. Almost nothing can make him so moved!"
"Then why was there such a violent movement in the palace?"
"I don't know! But there must be something special that touched my ancestor, otherwise he would never have reacted like this!"
