However, in just a few days, the Jiang Family Courtyard seemed to have changed and become desolate.
Because of Jiang Yiyue's death, this courtyard had already become completely cold. The servants and attendants who were originally scurrying around had long since disappeared without a trace.
Yun Luoyou had already determined in her heart that the ones who set up the Spiritual Seizing Array to steal the spirit energy from the Yun Family spiritual vein were the Jiang and Lu families. Now that she was walking towards the Jiang Family Courtyard in the direction where the spirit energy had disappeared, she was even more certain of her thoughts.
Yun Luoyou hid his body and snuck into the Jiang Family Courtyard to search for the Spiritual Seizing Array.
Yun Luoyou had always thought so. She was quite familiar with this courtyard. After all, the original owner had come quite a few times.
However, when she arrived inside, she realized that she was being naive.
This Jiang Family Courtyard was simply a different world altogether. Back then, the place the original owner had visited when he came to visit was a small corner of this courtyard.
Upon entering the vicinity of the residence, Zhang Xuan realized that the spiritual energy here was extremely dense, much better than outside by several folds.
After passing through the garden that the original owner would often visit when he visited the place, the original appearance of the house would gradually reveal itself in front of Yun Luoyou.
Without the clusters of flowers on the surface and the sparse amount of people in the courtyard, even the mottled shadows cast by the sunlight through the tree branches were somewhat sinister.
At a time like this, Yun Luoyou was even thinking if it was convenient for Jiang Yiyue to invite the original owner to this courtyard. After all, this kind of place could be buried anytime.
After walking for a distance, they saw that the previously loose courtyard was now heavily guarded. Yun Luoyou had even more carefully hidden himself, preventing the people from the courtyard from discovering him.
He didn't expect that this courtyard really had such a big secret. If he hadn't chased after the direction that the spiritual energy disappeared in, he wouldn't have discovered this place in such a short time.
At this moment, Yun Luoyou was glad that he made a prompt decision and jumped over the wall to escape. If not, he might not have been able to escape if he had alerted the people in the back.
This was a huge martial arts practice field, and the spirit energy here was much denser than in other places in the courtyard. There were many disciples of Jiang Family sparring and practicing here, and many of them were meditating and cultivating on the side.
These people's cultivation level were all not high, regardless of whether they were Spirit Master or martial masters, most of them were all Level One. The total number of Level Two cultivator s was not more than five, and they were all the new generation disciples of Jiang Family.
The Jiang Family are really cunning, using the courtyard as a cover, they are actually training their disciples here.
With their cultivation level, they would naturally not be able to discover that Yun Luoyou was already at the third stage of Spirit Master. However, she did not dare to be careless.
The guards outside the house were even more tight, and the cultivation level had risen from the first, second, and third stages. It seemed like this was the main focus of the house.
Yun Luoyou couldn't wait to know what exactly Jiang Family were doing here.
However, when Yun Luoyou looked around, he realized that the row of houses were almost completely sealed, other than a small door in front of him, he could not even find a single window.
At the door, there were a few third stage cultivator, some of them had Spirit Master, and some of them were martial masters.
Could it be that there was some sort of treasure hidden in the room? Yun Luoyou was even more curious.
Just as she was considering whether she should find a way to see what was inside the house, the narrow door suddenly opened from the inside without any warning.
Jiang Yan and Lu Mingfeng walked out together.
It was normal for Jiang Yan to appear in the Jiang Family Courtyard, but for Lu Mingfeng to appear with him, it was definitely abnormal.
When the Yun Family was around, although these two families were colluding, on the surface, they acted as if water and fire were not compatible. Now that the Yun Family was annihilated, they showed their friendship.
Behind the two were more than ten guards, who carried a few dead men and threw them out expressionlessly.
The dead man's body was riddled with wounds. It was obvious that he had been beaten to death.
~ Is this Jiang Family's prison? However, it didn't look like it. Although these people had been beaten to death, it didn't look like they had been tortured to death. On the contrary, they had been beaten to death in a battle.
Yun Luoyou squinted his eyes, his gaze swept towards the small door once again, at the same time releasing the Spiritual Sense, allowing him to clearly see the situation inside the house.
In the center of the room, there was a large arena. The four sides of the arena were divided into many iron cages, and these cages were filled with people.
The bodies of these people were also riddled with wounds, but it was as if they didn't know what had happened. Their expressions were cold and brutal, and the spacious arena in the middle was filled with blood stains, and it was unknown how many people had died on it.
Yun Luoyou also noticed that there was more than one person locked in some iron cages, there were two of them, and three of them. But without exception, as long as it was not a cage that was locked by a single person, there would be a life and death battle inside.
The dead would soon be pulled out of the cage and thrown out.
As for those who were still alive, they had long since become numb to it and did not show any expression on their faces.
In this place, living was the only thing that mattered.
If they wanted to live, they would have to knock them down.
This courtyard was clearly a place used by the Jiang Family to nurture assassins and Death Soldier s. It might even be the power of these people to exterminate the Yun Family.
"Send twenty men as insurance!" Lu Mingfeng stood at the door, and said to Jiang Yan expressionlessly with eyes that were full of dark ruthlessness.
Jiang Yan let out a "Heh" sound. "Lu Mingfeng, you really dare to say that."
"Do you know how much it costs to nurture a person out? Of the one hundred people present, only one or two will be left. The moment you opened your mouth, twenty of them will be left! "
Lu Mingfeng squinted his eyes, and said indifferently: "You're raising these people out, could it be that you're still going to eat? Since you are a Death Soldier who was raised to be one, of course you should have the resolve to go and die at any time. "
Jiang Yan sneered: "Even if it is a Death Soldier, it is still a Death Soldier of my Jiang Family.
Lu Mingfeng also sneered: "What a joke, what do you mean by dying for me? Regarding the Yun Family, is there any part of your Jiang Family? If you get the benefits, why don't you say it's my business? If you want to contribute now, it's my business? "
Jiang Yan and Lu Mingfeng never thought that Yun Luoyou would come here, so naturally, he did not have any qualms about talking, but instead allowed Yun Luoyou to hear everything clearly.
This time, there was no need to guess. The annihilation of the Yun Family was done by Jiang Family.
Hearing Lu Mingfeng's words, Jiang Yan could not help but look at him coldly. "Benefits? Speaking of benefits, wasn't the Young Master Lu the one who got the upper hand? All of the Yun Family's properties have been taken away by the Young Master Lu, do you still have the face to tell me the benefits? "
"In the matter of the Yun Family, Jiang Family contributed greatly, and in the end, the Young Master Lu ate some meat. Even the soup was almost left behind for Jiang Family."
Lu Mingfeng laughed: "Eat meat and drink soup? Jiang Yan, your Jiang Family is too kind, you do not even want that little bit of Yun Family property, and only want the Divine Artifact. "
At first glance, he looked rather imposing as he said: "Since it's like this, there's no need to hide it anymore. You said that Yun Luoyou killed your sister and more than a dozen of your Jiang Family s as protection, I actually want to know, at the time of the Yun Family incident, how did Yun Luoyou end up in the Jiang Family Courtyard?"
"Speaking of which, this young master is too naive. I really thought that your Jiang Family were so generous, that you didn't take even the slightest bit of the Yun Family's property. So it turns out that you want to snatch the Divine Artifact away first."
Who knew that being a human means not being Heaven's will? I'm afraid your Jiang Family did not expect Yun Luoyou to be so much stronger than expected, hence taking such a huge loss.
"Young master Jiang actually dares to say something about eating meat and drinking soup now?"
"Young Master Jiang, when that piece of meat reached your Jiang Family's mouth, it must be because you guys didn't eat it yourself!"
At the end, Lu Mingfeng's tone was somewhat sinister, he had only realized it after Jiang Yan had told him those words yesterday.
When he thought about how he almost missed the opportunity to meet the Divine Artifact and had his Jiang Family snatch it away first, he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
Jiang Yan, on the other hand, wasn't embarrassed at all. He raised his eyebrows and looked at him: "At that time, it was already agreed that after the Yun Family was eliminated, the Divine Artifact would have to rely on their own abilities. I hope Young Master Lu didn't forget about this, right?"
Suddenly, Lu Mingfeng realized that Jiang Yan was also shameless to be able to speak so righteously and brazenly. He could not help but say exasperatedly, "Since we all depend on our own abilities, then what are you going to say about eating meat and drinking soup?"
Jiang Yan looked at him, "Young Master Lu, don't forget, we have to use the Death Soldier that we spent a lot of effort to nurture.
"If the Young Master Lu really says that, then each of us will take half."
On the other hand, Lu Mingfeng was extremely straightforward. "Alright, it's not like our Lu Family can't hold people back, it's you who despise us first, you're afraid that the people from Lu Family will drag you down."
"You!" Jiang Yan was so angry that the veins on her forehead were popping up, but she couldn't do anything about it.
The disciples that the Lu Family could dispatch were all ordinary disciples, they could not even compare to these Death Soldier s who had undergone special training.
Lu Mingfeng was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
However, Jiang Yan was not someone who would easily lose out. He sneered at Lu Mingfeng: "Since that's the case, then let's forget about this collaboration. Whether or not we can get our hands on the Divine Artifact will depend on our own abilities!"
This time, it was Lu Mingfeng's turn to have an ugly expression.
If not for the incident with the Immortal Cloud Pavilion, when everyone's eyes were focused on the Lu Family, and the Lu Family wasn't able to react in such a manner, he would not have come to discuss the matter of cooperation with Jiang Yan, this sworn enemy.
Lu Mingfeng's voice was cold and hard, "Isn't it too late for Young Master Jiang to say that he would not cooperate?"
"Even though I'm young, I also know that it was Jiang Family that first time, that first time I asked for our Lu Family to cooperate."
"What, now that the Divine Artifact is about to be obtained, you're going to turn hostile?"
Jiang Yan waved his hand: "Let's not talk about the past, let's talk about now."
After killing Yun Luoyou, all of the Yun family property will belong to the Jiang Family. The Jiang Family will compensate the Yun family property with half of the total value of the Spirit Crystal, and give it to the Lu Family. "
"However, there is a prerequisite for this cooperation. One cannot lose money."
