The entire Holy City is built around the Holy Lord Peak. The city wall almost goes around the Holy Lord Peak. Only in the shady direction of the mountain is a cliff hundreds of feet wide, and the abyss is bottomless.
Standing on the edge of the cliff, Xu Shichen looked sad, "Our Xu family's cemetery is all built on this cliff!"
Chen Fan flew up directly, hovering above the abyss, staring at the cave dug into the cliff, feeling slightly puzzled.
Flying back to the cliff, "Master Xu, whose idea was it to build this tomb?"
Xu Shichen laughed bitterly, "This requirement for building a tomb was set by our first generation family head. Of course, if the ancestors who have not cultivated to the Xuanying realm have no chance of being placed in the cliff tomb cave!"
Xu Shichen pointed to the gentle slope not far away, "That's the cemetery for ordinary cultivators of our Xu family. The higher the level of strength, the higher the position will be!"
At this time, Chen Fan suddenly stretched out his hand and lifted Xu Shichen up.
The great elder was also lifted up by Duan Silin and flew into the air.
Hovering in mid-air, overlooking the entire Xu family cemetery, Chen Fan said, "Master Xu, did you see anything unusual?"
Xu Shichen shook his head, "I'm sorry for my poor eyesight, but I really can't see anything wrong with it."
Xu Shichen really couldn't tell, but the higher the tombs were, the sparser the density. On the contrary, in the tombs below, the dense tombs were connected into one piece.
After all, it has been a family for tens of thousands of years, and there are countless people who can enter the tomb.
Those who can be buried here are at least the Xu family members who are above the transformation level.
Even so, there are thousands of tombs where cultivators of the Transformation Realm are buried.
"Since all the cultivators of the Xu family, whether they are in the realm of Transformation or Baoding, are buried here, why are there not any bones of your senior cultivators in the tomb?"
Chen Fan suddenly asked.
Xu Shichen was stunned for a moment.
"Lord Chen Fan, what do you mean by this?"
Chen Fan flew toward the topmost tombs of the Xu family cultivators who were in the elixir-holding realm.
When Chen Fan arrived here, Chen Fan had already arranged for soul clones to explore around.
In any case, cultivators who have the strength to step into the realm of holding pills can be called top ancestors in ordinary sects.
The bones of cultivators in the Baodan realm would not have decayed so quickly if there had not been any unexpected circumstances!
Even for a dead master of elixir holding, the power from the corpse is still accumulated in the bones and will last for a long time.
However, when Chen Fan's soul clone explored these Dan Bao tombs, he did not find the presence of any bones.
The group of people landed at the top of the graveyard of Baodan cultivators.
"Head of the Xu family, help us identify the grave of the senior Bao Dan who died last in your Xu family!"
Xu Shichen was a little confused about Chen Fan's purpose and couldn't help but ask.
"Lord Chen Fan, what do you want to do?"
"I suspect that the bones of your Baodan ancestors are no longer in this tomb!"
"What? Impossible!"
Xu Shichen shook his head for a while, "I personally participated in the funerals of Baodan ancestors twice, and I personally watched the bones of the two ancestors being buried in the graves!"
Chen Fan waved his hand, "Then listen to my request and directly dig up the graves of the two masters of holding pills that you saw with your own eyes. Then you will know whether what I said is true."
"But!"
As the head of the Xu family, how could Xu Shichen give such an order so easily?
This is the cemetery of the ancestors of the Xu family. Not to mention anything else, just disturbing the souls of many ancestors is disrespectful.
Chen Fan sighed, "Master Xu, don't worry about these issues. If you want to completely solve this problem, then follow my arrangement and open the grave to find out!"
In the end, Xu Shichen agreed to Chen Fan's request.
Xu Shichen didn't greet anyone, but he and the family elder worked together to open the wooden door of one of the tombs.
Because they were under the Holy Lord Peak of the Holy City, the tombs of the family ancestors here were not heavily defended, so it was not difficult for Xu Shichen to open the tomb door.
But when the tomb was opened, Xu Shichen's face showed a hint of horror.
Without Chen Fan's reminder, Xu Shichen rushed directly into the tomb.
"What's going on?"
"Who dares to steal the bones of my ancestors of the Xu family?"
As Xu Shichen's shouts rang out, Chen Fan and Li Wanji also followed in.
Xu Shichen's face turned pale and he no longer knew how to explain it.
"Impossible. I watched this senior's bones being put into the tomb with my own eyes, but how could they be stolen?"
Before Chen Fan could say anything, Xu Shichen rushed out and ran towards another tomb of a cultivator holding alchemy.
Chen Fan didn't need to listen and look to know that Bao Dan's bones in another tomb should also be gone.
Xu Shichen opened more than a dozen Baodan tombs in succession, but he did not see the bones of those ancestors in the tombs.
When Xu Shichen came back, his expression was already shaken and dejected.
"Lord Chen Fan, the bones of our Xu family's ancestors who hold pills are all gone, not even one of them!"
Xu Shichen's loss and pain were uncontrollable.
Chen Fan sighed softly and then said, "Master Xu, there is no need to think about it any more. I am afraid that the bones of those Xuanying masters in the cliff tomb have also disappeared!"
"I need to go take a look first and make sure before I can rest assured!"
"I beg Senior Chen Fan to help our Xu family seek justice!"
By this time, Xu Shichen could conclude that there must be a force unknown to him that was secretly targeting everyone in the Xu family.
When this thought became more and more intense, in addition to the deep guilt, an invisible feeling of fear came down in Xu Shichen's heart.
It's so terrifying. An invisible and intangible force is lurking in the Holy City, watching every move of the Xu family.
Facing Xu Shichen's plea, Chen Fan just waved his hand and said, "Let's go and explore the tombs of the Xuan Yings on the cliff. We hope to find the source of your Xu family's loneliness."
Xu Shichen nodded vigorously.
In fact, by this time, Xu Shichen had already accepted his fate.
The reason why Chen Fan is concerned about the tombs of Xuan Ying on the cliff is because there are no valuable clues at all in the tombs of these alchemy cultivators, not even the slightest abnormality.
If there is anything unusual, the only discovery is that the corpses of the Xu family's alchemy cultivators seemed to have crawled out of the tomb on their own initiative.
It was precisely because of this judgment that Chen Fan wanted to go to the tomb cave on the cliff again to verify his guess.
