If it is just a Zhang family, then of course there is no need to pay attention to it. For families like the Liu family and the Hu family, there is no need to consider how the Zhang family feels.
The problem is that the Zhang family has hooked up with a strong man in the Dao spiritual realm, and the strength of this strong man in the Dao spiritual realm is very terrifying. Even the cutting-edge power of the Liu family and the Hu family cannot compete with Jing Yan, a strong man in the Dao spiritual realm.
Everyone knows that the main reason why the Liu family and the Hu family hesitated about whether to attend Zhang Min's funeral was Jing Yan.
If Yuan Jihu, the lord of Haofeng City, fights with Jing Yan and eventually kills Jing Yan, then the Zhang family will naturally be nothing. But the problem is, the chance of this is very low!
Patriarch Liu witnessed the strength that Jing Yan showed in the sky above the Song family's residence that day, and even the old patriarch of the Song family was helpless against it. Even if the city lord really took action against Jing Yan, it would be difficult to actually kill Jing Yan.
And as long as Jing Yan doesn't die, families like the Liu family and the Hu family cannot ignore the Zhang family. Even if Jing Yan is kicked out of Haofeng City this time, he can come for the first time, and he can come for the second time.
Patriarch Liu was somewhat complacent about his decision at this time.
The guard of the Zhang family on the side had an ugly expression. He could not intervene in the decisions of the higher-ups, but he could also see why the clan leader and others were so entangled and why they did not send anyone to attend Zhang Min's funeral in the Zhang family.
"Patriarch..." Seeing the current demeanor of the patriarch and others, the guard couldn't help but tell him what he saw outside the Zhang family's house.
"Oh, it's almost time. Tell me which of the larger families attended Zhang Min's funeral." Patriarch Liu waved his hand and asked the guard with squinted eyes.
"Four elders of the Song family are present!" the guard said.
"I already know this, what else is there?" Patriarch Liu looked indifferent.
"And... the city lord is also here!" the guard finally said.
The news he came back to report in a hurry was that the city lord attended Zhang Min's funeral. He knew that this news was of great importance to the Liu family.
The faces of Patriarch Liu and others, who were originally indifferent, suddenly became more exciting.
"City Lord? City Lord went to the Zhang family?" Patriarch Liu took a deep breath and asked with wide eyes.
"Yes! The city lord personally went to the Zhang family to attend Zhang Min's funeral." The guard nodded and said.
"Why attend Zhang Min's funeral? The city lord went to Zhang's house to cause trouble for Jing Yan. It seems that the city lord didn't do anything a few days ago because he was waiting for Zhang Min's funeral. He wanted to face Jing Yan at Zhang Min's funeral.
To put it bluntly, this is obviously very dissatisfying to the Zhang family." An elder of the Liu family said with a solemn expression.
"Go back quickly and continue to observe. If the city lord really takes action against Jing Yan, come back and report it immediately." Patriarch Liu ordered the guard.
Obviously, he also believed that the city lord went to Zhang's house to cause trouble for Jing Yan.
"Clan leader! The city lord went to the Zhang family not to cause trouble for Jing Yan. The city lord really wanted to attend Zhang Min's funeral." The guard explained hurriedly.
"Someone saw the city lord being very polite when he saw Jing Yan, and even called him Mr. Jing Yan." The guard said with great seriousness.
When Yuan Jihu met Jing Yan, a large number of people were present to witness it. So it was normal for the news to spread as soon as possible.
Hearing the guard's words, the head of the Liu family and the elders became a little confused.
When we were at the Song family a few days ago, didn't the city lord still want to kill Jing Yan? Why did he become so polite after not seeing him for a few days?
Mr. Jing Yan...
Could it be that the two of them are old friends who haven’t seen each other for many years?
Patriarch Liu and others looked at each other. Obviously, it was impossible for the guards to tell lies, so something like this must have happened at that time. But it always sounded a little untrue!
The city lord went to attend Zhang Min's funeral in person? Let alone Zhang Min's funeral, it was the funeral of Zhang Yibing, the head of the Zhang family. The city lord could at most send his subordinates to express his gratitude.
Just when everyone was stunned and confused about the situation, an elder of the Liu family walked in quickly.
The main job of this elder of the Liu family is to collect information about Haofeng City. He came to see the clan leader in a hurry, and he obviously got very important news.
"Patriarch!" As soon as the elder came in, he bowed his hands to Patriarch Liu with a solemn face.
"Eighth Elder, what's the matter?" Patriarch Liu also quickly looked at the Eighth Elder of the Liu family.
Several other elders present all focused their attention on the eighth elder.
"Clan leader, something big happened! Master Gao Lan died yesterday!" The eighth elder said in a very urgent tone.
Gao Lan was a third-level alchemist, the strongest alchemist in Haofeng City, and had frequent contacts with the Liu family and other families. Gao Lan's death was of course a big deal, and it was considered a big deal in the entire Haofeng City.
"What?"
"Alchemist Gao Lan is dead? What happened?" Patriarch Liu's body was shaken, and a light of disbelief burst out in his eyes.
"I just got the news, and it's related to Jing Yan. Not long ago, Jing Yan gave the Zhang family some potions, and the Zhang family asked Alchemist Gao Lan to identify the efficacy of the potions, and then Alchemist Gao Lan wanted to swallow these potions secretly.
It pisses off Jing Yan." The Eighth Elder said loudly.
"How is it possible? Alchemist Gao Lan is also a third-level alchemy master. Just for a few bottles of potion, he squandered it privately?" Hearing this, Patriarch Liu and others sneered.
Don’t say it’s a potion!
Even if it is an ordinary third-level elixir, it is unlikely that Gao Lan would squander it for himself, right? If he really did such a thing, it would definitely have an impact on his own reputation.
"It's true. I've checked and found that Gao Lan indeed secretly swallowed the potions that Jing Yan gave to the Zhang family. So yesterday, Jing Yan went to Gao Lan's mansion in person." The eighth elder nodded heavily and said.
When he first received the news, he didn't believe it. However, it was not difficult to find out the matter. Many guards from Gaolan's mansion saw it at that time, and Gaolan's disciples also knew the ins and outs of the matter.
So even if he doesn't believe it anymore, he must believe it, because it is a fact!
"Jing Yan killed Alchemist Gao Lan?"
"Isn't this Jing Yan too courageous?"
"A man came to the Song family and made such a big fuss. Before the matter calmed down, he went to kill Alchemist Gao Lan. What on earth did he want to do? Did he really think that no one in Haofeng City could control him?
"
Everyone in the Liu family spoke out one after another, and some even roared with anger. Gao Lan's death had some impact on these first-class families. In the future, it will be difficult for them to find someone to help them make elixirs!
"Clan leader, elders!" The eighth elder shook his head, "Jing Yan did go to Alchemist Gao Lan's residence in person to get back those potions, but Alchemist Gao Lan was not killed by Jing Yan."
A look of shock appeared on the eighth elder's face.
