In Xu Shichen's father's tomb, Xu Shichen opened his father's coffin with his own hands.
But when the sarcophagus was opened, everyone present was shocked.
Inside the sarcophagus, there was no body of the previous head of the Xu family, not even a trace left.
Xu Shichen's face turned pale.
"What's going on? Where are my father's bones?"
Xu Shichen couldn't help but ask.
Who here could have expected that this scene would occur.
Chen Fan raised his eyebrows slightly, "Go and look at other tombs!"
Chen Fan and others opened the sarcophagi of the Xuan Yings of the Xu family who had left their bodies in turn, but no bones were found in each sarcophagus.
Not only that, Chen Fan also checked all the tombs on the cliff, and unexpectedly found no bones even in the coffins of the earliest Xu family infants who died.
At this time, Xu Shichen's expression was dull.
Including the face of the elder Xu, there was also a look of shock.
"What happened? Why did the bones of our ancestors of the Xu family disappear out of thin air?"
Chen Fan waved his hand, "Don't worry yet, let's check it carefully to see if we can find any useful clues."
Ever since he heard the news that Xu Shichen's ancestor Xuan Ying met with an accident, Chen Fan had a guess, and now he finally had a chance to verify it.
"Fan'er, if you have any ideas, you can tell them now!"
Li Wanji stood in front of the sarcophagus of the previous head of the Xu family, looked at Chen Fan opposite and asked.
Chen Fan withdrew his gaze from the sarcophagus, "I haven't found any clues yet. At first, I doubted whether demons from outside the area have invaded here!"
After all, the entire Frightening Sect, under the leadership of the leader Zhang Zichuan, has colluded with the demons from outside the territory.
If Zhang Zichuan wants to seek more available resources, then these powerful bones of Xuan Ying in the secret place are the best targets for the real demons outside the territory.
Not to mention the demon cultivators Chen Fan met at the beginning, Xu Yuan beside him was also refined into a zombie puppet.
Under such circumstances, the corpses of so many powerful Xuan Yings in the Xu family have undoubtedly become the best resources for demonization.
Once these powerful bones of Xuan Ying are controlled and refined by demons from outside the territory, what will be formed will definitely be a group of extremely powerful immortal fighting forces.
Chen Fan's concern was not unexpected at all, but after carefully inspecting so many tombs, Chen Fan couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart.
Thinking of this, Chen Fan couldn't help but shake his head, "But now, in these tombs, I can't find even a single clue or breath related to the real demon outside the territory."
Li Wanji was also stunned.
"What's going on?"
Chen Fan was also confused about the mystery inside the tomb.
"I'm not sure what's going on, but one thing I can conclude is that there must be someone behind it secretly controlling all of this!"
Chen Fan said very firmly.
At this time, Duan Silin, who had been silent since arriving, suddenly said.
"My lord, I actually have some opinions!"
'Um?'
Chen Fan's eyes lit up, "Silin, tell me!"
Although Duan Silin has never had a strong sense of existence, and because of his shallow foundation, he rarely expresses his own opinions.
However, Chen Fan knew very well in his heart that Duan Silin could cultivate to the level of three flowers gathering as a casual cultivator, so how could he be an ordinary character.
It's just because of his own existence that Duan Silin doesn't want to speak out easily.
Now that Duan Silin has taken the initiative to speak, he must have discovered something.
Chen Fan looked at Duan Silin with hope.
Duan Silin did not hesitate and said directly, "My lord, in fact, there are no clues about the disappearance of these corpses!"
"Keep talking!"
Chen Fan encouraged.
"Look, this is the tomb of the Xu family. Ordinary people don't know the existence of this place at all, especially the tombs on the cliff. If only the bones of the Baodan corpses in the cemetery were stolen, maybe they would be stolen.
I can understand a little bit, but even a cultivator with strength up to the Xuanying realm may not be able to detect the bones hanging in the tomb caves on the cliff!"
Chen Fan frowned when he heard Duan Silin's words.
On the contrary, Li Wanji's expression was a little more playful, and a smile suddenly appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Fan'er, maybe our original thinking direction has deviated!"
Chen Fan nodded slightly, "Silin, continue!"
"So I suspect that the person who can steal the bones of the ancestors of the Xu family should be someone who is very familiar with the situation of the Xu family, but I don't know who they are specifically!"
Chen Fan turned back to look at Xu Shichen.
Xu Shichen also looked surprised.
"Senior, how can we, the Xu family, have such a person?"
Chen Fan smiled slightly, "This is just a guess on our part, but we can't make a conclusion right now about whether this is the case, and you don't have to search within your family!"
Chen Fan did not continue to say anything.
However, everyone present knows that among the Xu family, the most powerful one is Xu Shichen, the head of the Xu family.
With the strength of Baodan realm, it is impossible to make such a challenging arrangement.
After all, they are the bones of a powerful person in the Xuan Ying realm. Cultivators whose strength is lower than that of Xuan Ying cannot easily remove so many powerful bones.
However, being able to rule out that monsters were secretly causing trouble also made Chen Fan feel relieved. As long as the power of real demons from outside the territory did not extend into the small world, Chen Fan could take over the small world with confidence.
"Lord Chen Fan, how should we retrieve the bones of our ancestors?"
Xu Shichen didn't know what to do now.
"In terms of strength, only if you reach a level above the Xuan Ying realm, can you move the bones of these powerful Xuan Yings silently and without disturbing anyone. Master Xu, you'd better make arrangements as soon as possible to remove your
Those Xuanying experts from our ancestors will check them one by one to see who has this possibility!"
"What? You mean to say that the disappearance of the bones of our ancestors of the Xu family was caused by our missing ancestors?"
Xu Shichen looked in disbelief.
Chen Fan had no other judgment and could only smile bitterly, "Other than that, I really can't think of anyone else who can have such means and conditions. After all, they are the bones of your ancestors of the Xu family. Even if others want to
It’s impossible to move them all away!”
"You might as well think about it carefully and look for clues to see if any of your ancestors, Xuan Ying, have practiced demon-like skills or are interested in refining zombie puppets!"
Chen Fan's words made Xu Shichen suddenly understand. Xu Shichen had never seen this type of technique, so it was relatively easy to accept Chen Fan's judgment.
Thinking of this, Xu Shichen nodded hastily, "I will arrange for someone to investigate as soon as I return!"
