"The other three major sects? Impossible! Even if they want to do something evil, they will only do it slowly and will not do anything rashly!"
Dugu Tianlong shook his head and snorted, his face gloomy, obviously he did not agree with this analysis.
After hearing this, everyone exchanged glances again and frowned tightly.
After a while, someone nodded slowly, feeling that what Dugu Tianlong said made more sense.
"What the head of the family said is absolutely true! Among the four major sects, our Dugu family is the leader, much more powerful than the second-ranked Sikong family. Without enough confidence, they will never dare to do such a dirty trick!"
"I don't think it's that simple. The Sikong family has always been aloof from us, and the Luo family also intends to keep a distance from us. However, the Su family has recently been interested in making friends. Don't you think it's strange?"
As soon as this statement came out, everyone frowned again, feeling a little complicated.
Dugu Tianlong frowned slightly, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Regarding the Su family, there were some secrets involved. No one knew the inside story except him and a few direct bloodline members, so it was difficult for him to explain some things.
"It's normal for the Su family to be friends with us, and we took the initiative to bring up that matter. They just seized the opportunity to show their goodwill."
Dugu Tianlong slowly shook his head and said coldly.
Everyone was slightly startled when they heard this. They were somewhat surprised by the reaction of the family head. It seemed that the Su family had been excluded.
"It seems it has nothing to do with the Su family!"
"Who did that?"
"The Luo family has not had much dealings with us, and there is no direct conflict of interest. Ordinarily, they would not do such stupid things."
Everyone concentrated on the analysis, feeling a little confused.
"Could it be that some casual cultivator could not see that we were too powerful and deliberately took revenge?"
"Which casual cultivator is so bold and doesn't want to live anymore?"
"With all due respect, if we look at the entire Qingxuan Kingdom, the Dugu family is one person below ten thousand people. Except for the royal family, I am afraid no one dares to offend us!"
Dugu Tianlong frowned, and a light flashed in his eyes: "Don't talk nonsense!"
"It's... the head of the family!" The man just realized he had made a mistake, so his expression changed and he immediately shut up.
Although the Dugu family is powerful, it is still far behind the royal family. It controls the entire Qingxuan Kingdom, and even the four major sects combined cannot compare.
How can we allow others to criticize such an existence that is so superior to Qingxuan Kingdom?
"The one we have had frequent contact with recently is the Su family. This matter may not have been caused by the Su family, but is it possible that it has something to do with them?"
Someone's eyes flashed and he said attentively.
"Huh?" Dugu Tianlong's eyes narrowed, as if he thought of something.
He had long heard that the eldest lady of the Su family seemed unwilling to accept the kindness of the Dugu family, and she even had some conflicts with the family because of this.
But she has been placed under house arrest by her family and has no direct relationship with this matter.
Dugu Tianlong pondered for a while, slowly shook his head, and suppressed this thought.
"Don't make unnecessary guesses. Arrange people to go down and conduct a thorough investigation. Don't let go of any clues!"
"yes!"
Everyone took the order and retreated, and soon only Dugu Tianlong was left in the hall.
"Hmph, just a stinky girl, if she doesn't have some qualifications, how can she have the chance to enter the palace of my Dugu family?"
Dugu Tianlong shook his head and sneered, an inexplicable light flashed in his deep eyes.
…
Two days later, Jiang Tian successfully returned to Purple Star Academy.
"Jiang Tian, you are finally back!"
Seeing him return, Luo Lan was surprised, happy, and relieved at the same time.
In the past few days, she had been worried that Jiang Tian would have an accident. It was not until he stood in front of her again that her worries began to recede.
"Where have you been these past few days? Hey, your cultivation aura...has actually reached the peak of the Open Heaven Realm!"
Luo Lan's pretty eyes shrank, shocked!
In just a few days, Jiang Tian's cultivation level has reached the peak of the Open Heaven Realm from the late stage of the Open Heaven Realm, and his aura has obviously improved a lot.
If you give him a few more days, he might be able to advance to the Moon-Embracing Realm!
Jiang Tian shook his head and smiled: "It's nothing, I just went out to practice. I found some heavenly materials and earthly treasures and refined them easily. Don't be surprised."
"That's easy to say. I'm afraid it's not that simple, right?"
Luo Lan shook his head and smiled, his eyes cunning, showing his disbelief.
However, she was smart and knew that Jiang Tian might have something to hide, so she didn't ask for details.
"If nothing happens, I will go back and retreat first."
Jiang Tian waved his hand and prepared to leave.
"etc!"
Luo Lan frowned slightly, her expression became very solemn, and she seemed to have something to say.
"What's wrong? Have you encountered any trouble?" Jiang Tian's expression flashed.
Luo Lan pondered for a moment, then frowned and said, "A big event has happened in Qingxuan City in the past few days. Have you heard about it?"
"Oh, what's the big deal?"
Jiang Tian's eyes were long and thoughtful.
Luo Lan smiled slyly, but a sneer flashed across his lips: "Dugu Qifeng, the third young master of the Dugu family, was killed!"
"Dugu Qifeng?"
Jiang Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Luo Lan intently, noncommittal.
"It is said that he was killed in Qingxuan Mountain. Even the Chongyang Realm master beside him was seriously injured!" Luo Lan looked at Jiang Tian's reaction, and a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes.
"Oh! How about this Dugu Qifeng man?"
Jiang Tian smiled coldly and asked suddenly.
Luo Lan frowned slightly: "This man is arrogant by nature. He has always been arrogant and arrogant. He is a character who is hated and feared by everyone in Qingxuan City. In fact, many people don't like him. It's because of his Dugu family.
As the Third Young Master, I only dare to be angry but dare not speak out."
"Haha, so it's a good thing that he was killed?"
Jiang Tian shook his head and smiled, looking quite disdainful.
"Aren't you curious who dares to kill this wealthy young man with a great background?" Luo Lan shook his head and sighed, feeling a little disappointed.
She was originally curious and wanted to test Jiang Tian's tone, but she didn't expect that the other party had no special reaction, as if he had heard something insignificant.
"Yes, who is so unscrupulous as to dare to kill the third son of the Dugu family?"
Jiang Tian shook his head, smiled, and asked casually without any strange behavior.
Luo Lan became more and more disappointed, shook his head and sighed, the cunning look in his eyes completely disappeared, revealing a bored expression.
"Forget it, it's not fun at all, but I can tell you that only a very few people know this news. It has not spread in Qingxuan City yet, and the identity of the other party is even more confusing."
"Oh, it seems that the opponent is quite mysterious!" Jiang Tian raised his eyebrows, but he couldn't stop laughing in his heart.
Even the Dugu family doesn't know the true identity of the murderer, let alone Luo Lan. She'll be damned if she really knows.
