Chapter 488 - Four Great Families
The Tian Luo Continent, after experiencing the great battle of the Thousand Demonic Mountain and hundreds of thousands of years of settling down, had long ago become like a lake, without any ripples. Occasionally, there would be some small powers who would be able to cause small-scale battles due to some conflicts, so it wasn't really a big deal. In any case, those big shots had never made any moves.
Now, the Chen Clan being annihilated by the Su Clan back then had attracted the attention of many. It was as if a stone was thrown into a lake that was as still as stagnant water. Moreover, it was a heavyweight stone. This caused the lake to immediately turn into a vast ocean as huge waves rolled about!
At the same time when all the major powers were making their move, there was only one big boss who did not make his move, and that was the Lingyun Sect.
That night, Xuanyuan Yi was present at the scene, so there was naturally no need to investigate.
In the few days after his return, although he handled the matters within the sect as per usual, he would occasionally think back to that night. He had just received a report about the Su Clan from his subordinates, but he suddenly lost the interest in continuing to take care of things. He stood up and walked to the window, staring at the scenery outside in a daze. In his mind, his image of that night, Xiao Qianhan's face, expression, and even his eyes, were constantly on that night, just like a slide show.
At the same time, Su Qing's brows wrinkled a few thousand years ago.
The two images cycled through his mind, then gradually merged together and eventually turned into the same person, the same scene.
Suddenly, he felt a sharp pain coming from his heart. Even his breathing became sluggish, as if something had been sucked out of him.
Su Qing! She is Su Qing!
Su Clan.
After a few days of effort from Xiao Qianhan, the Su Family had basically returned to how it was before. However, Su Wei's situation had not improved at all, he was unable to take over the position of Patriarch, so she could only continue to take charge of him.
To her, these things were just small matters. Currently, what she was most concerned about was investigating the Su Clan's matters that year.
The day that Tian Jizi returned, he told her that he had already found some clues, but he could not confirm it, so he could not say for sure.
Regarding this, Xiao Qianhan did not force it. There was naturally a reason why Tian Jizi did not say it out loud.
In these few days, Tian Jizi had kept himself locked in his room and meticulously calculated, not leaving even a single time.
Xiao Qianhan had been sending guards outside of Tian Jizi's room to prevent anyone from getting near. At the same time, she was also paying attention to the movements in the room, and would immediately report anything abnormal. She knew that Tian Jizi's current state was similar to closed door cultivation. However, she was not very clear about the difference between closed door cultivation and closed door cultivation, and could only be used as a precaution.
Even Tian Jizi himself was not sure of the result. He only said one sentence before he went into closed door cultivation: Before he comes out, he must not be disturbed by anyone.
Just now, she had received a report from her servant that Tian Jizi had come out of seclusion. Without the slightest hesitation, her figure flashed and she appeared outside Tian Jizi's room.
At this moment, Tian Jizi was sitting in the courtyard. When Xiao Qianhan took a look at it, her eyes moved, and without saying a word, she took out a porcelain bottle and placed it in front of Tian Jizi, "Eat this."
Tian Jizi opened it, and without even looking at it, he directly took out one pellet and swallowed it.
Only then did Xiao Qianhan sit down, and the worry in her eyes finally disappeared. When she first met Tian Jizi, Tian Jizi's face was pale white, and not even a hint of blood could be seen on her lips. Therefore, she immediately took out a pill and fed it to Tian Jizi.
After consuming the pill, Tian Jizi's complexion looked a little better, and was no longer as pale as paper.
"This pill isn't bad. It's at least twice as potent as the pills I've taken before." Although Tian Jizi was weak, he still pretended that he was fine and teased after consuming the pill.
"You don't have to pretend in front of me. That bottle of pills was made by me, you can take them all and bring them back to me after you use them. " Xiao Qianhan said directly as he saw through Tian Jizi.
Tian Jizi sighed, he no longer forced himself to smile, and revealed a face full of fatigue, and said helplessly: "Can't you leave me some face? When did I come out of seclusion not feeling refreshed? It was just an accident this time, that's why I spent so much energy. "
An accident? Xiao Qianhan's brows twitched, "What accident?"
"It's nothing. It's just that someone has set up some obstacles. " Tian Jizi spoke in a relaxed manner and continued, "Back then, that group of people were extremely careful in their work. While destroying all the clues, they even deliberately brought in other things, entangled them together, and created obstacles in their deduction. "Obviously, that group of people from back then were very afraid that the matter would be leaked out."
"Setting up an obstacle?" Xiao Qianhan frowned slightly. In the Tian Luo Continent, there were all sorts of capable people, so she was not surprised to see other people who were good at deductions. However, if the other party had people like that, then it would be even more difficult to avenge the Su Clan.
"That's right." Tian Jizi nodded his head, as a look of caution flashed in his eyes, "That person's ability is very strong, so I don't have to go up against him at the moment. He should have set up that barrier at random, so I could still break through it with a little effort. As for the more difficult ones, I was temporarily powerless. Furthermore, that is the level his opponent was at several thousand years ago. I wonder what level he will reach today. "
After Xiao Qianhan heard this, her frown deepened. The closer she got to the truth, the greater the resistance and the greater the pressure. Therefore, this didn't affect her, but instead aroused her fighting spirit even more.
He must take revenge for the Su Clan!
"No worries, we still have time." She smiled softly, her face calm and determined.
Tian Jizi nodded his head seriously, then shook it off, his expression returning to his previous relaxed state, "No matter what, the barrier has been broken, so we have obtained useful information. Although the truth is not as detailed as it seems, there are still some clues. "
"What clue?" Is the matter back then related to the Lingyun Sect? " Xiao Qianhan's face turned serious.
Tian Jizi knew that Xuanyuan Yi was the one who took Su Qing away from the Su Family. After hearing Su Qing's question, her expression became slightly unnatural, and she nodded her head, "This matter is indeed related to the Lingyun Sect. Not only that, it is also related to the Four Great Families. "
Hearing that, Xiao Qianhan's face immediately darkened. A few thousand years ago, the so-called Four Great Clans were just the four middle leveled families with low reputations and strength. At the very least, they were nothing compared to the Su Clan. After thousands of years, the Chen family wasn't the only clan that had risen to prominence. The four families had become one of the top powers on the continent and were known as the Four Great Clans. These four clans were the Lin Clan, Zhao Clan, Wang Clan, and Jiang Clan.
Four great families? What big words you have there!
Anything that belonged to the Su Clan, she would bring back!
