Hearing the eighth elder's words, Patriarch Liu and others were stunned again.
If Alchemist Gao Lan was not killed by Jing Yan, then by whom? Who else in Haofeng City has this ability and courage?
To be honest, even families like the Liu family and the Hu family would not dare to blatantly kill the third-level alchemist Gao Lan. The impact of doing so would be too bad.
"It was the city lord who personally killed Master Gao Lan. The city lord meant that Master Gao Lan had discredited Haofeng City." The eighth elder said in shock.
"What?"
Patriarch Liu and the others' breaths froze slightly and they exclaimed in surprise.
Alchemist Gao Lan was beheaded by the city lord?
The whole room suddenly fell silent, not even the sound of breathing! They thought Gao Lan was killed by Jing Yan, but they didn't expect that Gao Lan was killed by the city lord Yuan Jihu!
"How is this possible? How could the city lord kill Alchemist Gao Lan?" an elder said with a sharp breath.
"It shouldn't be wrong. I have already been in contact with disciple Gao Lan, and he was at the scene at the time. According to what he said, the city lord respected Jing Yan very much at that time." The eighth elder obviously could not understand this matter.
Patriarch Liu's eyes changed again and again. Comparing this news with the news sent back by the previous guards, the answer seemed to be coming out. No matter what happened, the Lord's attitude towards Jing Yan had undergone a very complete change.
"Let's go! Go to the Zhang family! This child Zhang Min died tragically. How can our Liu family not go and visit?" When Patriarch Liu said these words, he didn't even blush or breath.
Patriarch Liu and many elders of the Liu family left the Liu family's residence and quickly rushed towards the Zhang family's residence.
To be honest, Patriarch Liu and others really regretted it at this time. If they had known this, they should have at least sent an elder to attend Zhang Min's funeral. Just because they were worried about the city lord's opinion, they missed a good opportunity.
.
The same scene also happened in the Hu family.
Patriarch Hu felt extremely regretful at this time.
After the city lord Yuan Jihu and Jing Yan turned enemies into friends, the Zhang family would not only get the support of Jing Yan, a strong man, but also the support of the city lord to a certain extent. In the future, the Zhang family must not be as casual as before.
.
With Jing Yan's presence alone, who in Haofeng City would dare to attack the Zhang family in the future? The Song family will learn from the past!
When the head of the Liu family, the head of the Hu family, and others arrived at the Zhang family, the banquet had already started, and they arrived relatively late.
However, their arrival still brought the atmosphere of the banquet to a new peak. All three major families in Haofeng City attended Zhang Min's funeral. For the Zhang family, this was definitely an extremely glorious event.
As for the Liu family and the Hu family, many people present had a mocking look in their eyes.
Why?
It's very simple. Everyone can see that the Liu family and the Hu family obviously did not intend to attend Zhang Min's funeral at first. Otherwise, they would not have waited until the banquet had started before rushing over in a hurry.
The reason why these two families changed their minds was obviously because they received the news that the city lord attended Zhang Min's funeral.
The Liu family and the Hu family obviously miscalculated. Although they are here now, the Zhang family and Jing Yan will never be too grateful to them. If they had come earlier, the Zhang family would definitely be moved.
It's a pity that the opportunity was missed! Cleverness leads to mistakes!
Patriarch Liu, Patriarch Hu and others are indeed very regretful. But it is too late to regret. Now they can only try their best to make up for the relationship with the Zhang family. But no matter how hard they try, if they want to make the Zhang family have no grudges at all, I am afraid that
It is also extremely difficult.
After the people from the two families arrived, they exchanged greetings with Zhang Yibing and other Zhang family members and took their seats. They also greeted the city lord and Jing Yan, and they were all guessing why the city lord Yuan Jihu was able to resolve their feud with Jing Yan. But for a while, they
I really can't understand it.
In the evening, Zhang Min's hiding path came to an end. On this day, Jing Yan was in a very depressed mood. If there was a way to resurrect Zhang Min, he would do his best. However, people cannot be resurrected after death.
A three-year-old child can understand the truth. Even the strongest warrior on the continent, even the legendary Taoist master, cannot resurrect the dead.
…
Outside Lanqu County, there is a very hidden place.
In the night, Wen Lan, the head of the Wen family, one of the most powerful families in Lanqu County, stood here quietly.
I don't know how much time has passed.
A ghost-like figure approached quickly. This figure completely blended into the darkness, making no sound, its aura was so restrained that it was almost undetectable, but its speed was extremely fast.
After approaching Wen Lan, the figure slowed down and gradually emerged from the darkness.
"Clan Leader Wen!" The black figure cupped his hands towards Wen Lan, and his voice was strange, as if it came not from his mouth, but from his abdomen.
"Mr. Yin!" When Wen Lan saw the visitor, her eyes narrowed and she quickly returned the greeting.
"Why did Patriarch Wen arrange the meeting place here?" The black figure seemed to look around, with doubt in his voice.
"The matter I am about to discuss with Mr. Yin is too important, so it's better to be careful." As Wen Lan spoke, her expression became much more solemn.
"Please listen to the patriarch!" The man whom Wen Lan called Mr. Yin seemed to have a higher tone of voice.
"It's about Jing Yan!" Wen Lan lowered her voice slightly.
Even in this deserted environment with no one around, Wen Lan still seemed very cautious.
"Mr. Yin, that Jing Yan must die! If we keep him, he will become a big problem. The speed of this boy's progress is simply unbelievable. He is only twenty years old and has already entered the Taoist realm. If he is allowed to do so,
No matter what, I'm afraid that within ten years, it will be enough to pose a fatal threat to us." When Wen Lan talked about Jing Yan, there was murderous intent in her eyes.
Wen Lan apparently also heard about Jing Yan's killing of Deng Qing in Daoyi Academy, so he knew that Jing Yan was already a warrior in the Dao Ling realm.
When Wen Lan first heard the news, she was really shocked.
Not long ago, there was chaos in Donglin City, and the war broke out between the Zhao family and the Jing family. Although Jing Yan killed many warriors who were in the early stages of the Dao Spirit Realm, Wen Lan knew at that time that Jing Yan had not yet advanced to the Dao Spirit Realm and was still at the peak of the innate realm.
Cultivation level. However, in this short period of time, Jing Yan has stepped into the Dao Spirit Realm and can kill warriors in the late Dao Spirit Realm.
If Jing Yan is allowed to continue to grow, and when Jing Yan reaches the late stage or even the peak of the Taoist realm, it will be difficult for even the Wen family to deal with him.
And Wen Lan knew very well that once Jing Yan grew up and gained enough strength, he would never let go of the Wen family. Wen Lan believed that Jing Yan must have known about his grandfather's death today and had a certain relationship with his Wen family.
