Chapter 465 - Summoning the Tiger to Leave the Mountain
Chen Ancestor's residence.
Chen Zhicheng stood respectfully at the door, and spoke loudly towards the inside: "Ancestor, Zhi Cheng has something to report."
After the time it took to make a cup of tea, an old voice came from inside. "What is it?"
"Ancestor, Guan Dong was just killed. Zhicheng suspects that the thief who was beaten away by you has returned. "Zhicheng was worried that he wouldn't be able to cope with the situation, so he wanted to ask for the forefather's help …" Chen Zhicheng rolled his eyes and said. At this moment, it could be said that the Chen Residence was in its most flourishing state with countless experts gathered here. In such a situation, for the opponent to be able to kill Chen Guandong without making a sound, it was clear how strong the opponent was. If they were unable to find him within a short period of time, it would be extremely difficult for them to search for him once he had completely disappeared. Therefore, he thought of the ancestor. As long as the Royal Elder was able to locate the location of the invaders, there was no need to fear that he might not be able to do so!
"That person came back?" There was a hint of surprise within the aged aura. That person was not very strong, but that bell made him rather hesitant. "Gather all the children of the Chen family to Guan Dong's courtyard. I want to personally go and take a look." As long as he blocked the bell, it would be easy for him to capture that person. At that time, not only would he be able to get back the porcelain vases, he would also be able to get his hands on the supreme treasure bell. Once in Heavenly Law Congress, his goal would not only be to get the Su Family's position, but also to reach a higher realm!
"Yes, Patriarch." Chen Zhicheng was ecstatic, and immediately went down to gather the people. As long as the forefather agreed, the matter would be more or less settled.
Not long after, Chen Ancestor also came out of his room and left. At this time, Chen Ancestor's complexion had already improved a lot. After the treatment, his injuries had healed quite a bit.
The elite troops of the Chen Palace, all gathered in Chen Guandong's courtyard, forming a large army. Almost all of the servants were watching from not too far away, wanting to see what was going on. No one noticed that Xiao Qianhan was not nearby.
At this time, Xiao Qianhan's figure appeared outside of Chen Ancestor's room. After Chen Ancestor walked a little further, she moved his body and quietly entered the room.
With great familiarity, she opened the secret room's door and entered. After searching for a while, he still couldn't find the blood jade bottle.
She frowned slightly. Chen Ancestor didn't know how long she would be able to leave, she had to find him as soon as possible.
The appearance of the secret chamber was no different from the last time she had entered. Even the brick with the porcelain bottle inside had not been repaired. He carefully scanned through the secret chamber, but there was nothing out of the ordinary. Could it be that there was a hidden mechanism within the secret chamber?
Xiao Qianhan frowned, she immediately raised her hand and touched the wall, searching every corner of the wall. She had even rummaged through the corners of the walls and behind the broken brick in the porcelain vase. Although the secret chamber wasn't too big, it still took about an incense stick of time. Moreover, she wasn't able to find the blood jade bottle.
Could it be that Chen Ancestor did not hide his blood essence in the secret room? Or had it already been used?
Thinking of this possibility, her face darkened. If he wanted to extract the blood essence from Chen Ancestor's body, he would have to wait for Yun Mojin's return. To refine a Mysterious Sky Crystal twice, there was no chance that the effect would be better. Su Wei's power had recovered and increased. This was related to the Su Family's future, so he had to be cautious.
"Master!" Master! Let Xiao Miao and I go out and help you find them. Although the blood jade bottle and blood essence cannot be considered treasures and Xiao Miao cannot accurately distinguish them, we can still improve the efficiency of finding items! " Qian Zi watched anxiously from within the Thousand Cauldron Seal. That Chen Ancestor is quite strong, if we do not find the blood essence before Chen Ancestor returns, although we can use Panzhihuangling to leave, but Chen Ancestor will definitely be on guard, if we try to infiltrate this place again, it will be extremely difficult.
"No." Xiao Qianhan rejected him immediately. The Immersion Pills was useful to her, but useless to spirit bodies and spirit beasts. Last time Xiao Miao appeared was short, and Chen Ancestor was outside, so he did not sense anything. This time, Chen Ancestor was inside the big house, if they could sense his Qi, they would not even have one more second to search, the Chen Ancestor would be even more vigilant.
After confirming that there were no blood jade bottles or blood essences in the room, she decisively left the room and went inside to search. This was Chen Ancestor's room, and there might be other traps. However, the size of the room was much larger than the secret chamber, so searching it would take even more time.
At this time, Chen Ancestor had already arrived in Chen Guandong's courtyard, and finished inspecting the state of Chen Guandong's death.
"The wound is extremely smooth and you can see how sharp the weapon is. It's definitely not an ordinary weapon and it's also a treasure." Chen Ancestor glanced at the spot where Chen Guandong had been stepped on, his brows knitted together. After he finished speaking, Xiao Qianhan's figure appeared in his mind, and he was a little excited. If he didn't expect it, it was extremely likely that it was the Su Clan member! He didn't expect that person to have such guts and actually dare to appear. This couldn't be blamed on him. The other party had delivered himself up to him!
"Ancestor, in that case, who do you think did it?" Chen Zhicheng could not bear to see Chen Guandong's miserable state, so the hatred in his heart for the murderer.
"It's the person I forced back that day!" Chen Ancestor said in a deep voice, "I have already activated the great formation, and no unusual people waited for me to come in and out within the next four hours. Quickly search the mansion with your people, that person most likely hasn't left yet!"
"Yes sir!" Chen Zhicheng was overjoyed, the killing intent in his eyes became even colder. As long as the killer was still alive, he would rip him to shreds!
Chen's elite immediately scattered and began to carefully search the area. The Chen Ancestor stayed to the very end, standing in place as if he was thinking about something, before he left in large strides.
Inside the Chen Ancestor's house.
Xiao Qianhan had already searched through nearly half of the Blood Jade Bottle. Not only was she unable to find any traces of the Blood Jade Bottles, she couldn't even find a single hidden mechanism within the Blood Jade Bottle. Would there be any traps in the rooms of the Chen Ancestor?
The light in her eyes dimmed slightly. Out of the corner of her eyes, she suddenly caught sight of an unremarkable desk in the corner. According to the number of books on the shelves, even if Chen Ancestor did not handle the matters of the Chen family, he would still read the books. However, a thin layer of dust had already fallen on the table.
Not only that, every single part of the room had been swept clean of any dust except for the desk which was covered in dust.
It was not that the servants did not clean, but that the Chen Ancestor did not allow it.
Xiao Qianhan's eyes flashed, and immediately walked over. Looking closer, the dust on the table was not even evenly distributed, and was instead a little lighter on the inkstone at the corner.
The corner of her mouth curled up. She gently placed her hand on top of it and slowly turned it.
Following which, a light mechanical sound rang out, and a small space was revealed on the ground below the desk, revealing a bright red colour.
At the same time, Chen Ancestor, who was slowly walking toward his residence, had his expression suddenly change.
