Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 916 - 916
“It was rather interesting,” Tang Xiu commented with a faint gaze that was both smiling and not.
“That's not the only interesting fact, I say,” continued Miao Wentang with a forced smile. “The Lian family has been humble for years — is so inconspicuous that it feels abnormal. I've tried to send people to investigate them, and guess what results I got? The people I sent were like rocks that had sunk. No news, no messages, nothing known alive, and I couldn't even see their corpses. ”
“So, you also do not know the situation of the Lian Family, right?” tang Xiu's comments calmly.
Miao Wentang took a deep breath and replied, “I've had since I conducted my own investigations many times. I was finally convinced that they were so abnormal and evil. Members of this family never knew why their ancestors could still live to this day; even the oldest had lived for over 260 years. However, these ancestors rarely came out and were even rare in their ancestral hall. ”
“It was indeed very strange and evil; they could be described as evil.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “But nevertheless, I have already killed Lars ‘Patriarch, along with their two ancestors and over 20 experts. Therefore, I decided to come to Ning City to eradicate this unpleasant tumor.”
Miao Wentang's eyes widened in an instant; an expression of disbelief filled his face. Miao Fengling bound her tongue and dumbstruck while looking silly at Tang Xiu.
The Patriarch of the Lian Family, Lian Bai .. is dead?
Miao Wentang gulped and asked with a surprised face, “Sister Tang, what really happened between you and Lians? Why do you have conflicts with them?”
“I had no grudges with them at all before this incident.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “But I happened to meet a group of people from the Occult Sect a few days ago. They had a blood feud with Lians, and I originally had no intention of meddling in the dispute. However, the ancestor of the Lian Family took out a ghost device to devour the souls of all those killed. And from them, I learned that this Ghost device is called the Nine Fetuses of the Hundred Ghost Streamers. In addition, I learned that there were a total of nine of them. ”
Ghost Device — devices that can devour souls?
Miao Wantang was so astonished that he asked, “There are still evil weapons in this world?”
“I also never thought it would exist before.” Tang Xiu nodded and continued, “Only after I found the Nine Fetuses of the Hundred Ghost Streamers did I finally realize that such Ghost devices still truly exist. For each streamer, if they wanted to perfect it, they would have to need 77,490 souls to devour Later, they would need to torture these souls for many years, and eventually turn them into soulless vindictive spirits, he said, being a vengeful energy, no less. ”
“Very evil!” Miao Wentang's heart rate surged, along with his anger that was clearly visible on his face
Tang Xiu nodded and said, “I won't care if those killed by Lians are guilty people who deserve to be punished, but they even kill ordinary people. It turned out that the calamity had reached the center of the city.the pond, and I still had no idea how many innocent people had met a tragic end in their hands as well. I think the people you sent to investigate them might as well have to meet their deaths like this! ”
“Say what?” Miao Wentang was so red that he suddenly got up from the sofa. Her eyes shone with killing intent as she said, “Sister Tang, now I finally understand why Lian has so many of their ancestors still alive, she said, and also why I always felt there was something strange and evil about them.
“The Lian family has fallen into the path of evil demons,” taunts Tang Xiu.
Miao Wentang took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “Sister Tang, had I not known about this fact, my family cannot easily have a blood feud with Lians. But now, we must eradicate them so as to destroy the evil Ghost device. “What do you plan to do next, Brother Tang? My family will be fully cooperative.”
“How many cultivators does your family have, exactly?” tang Xiu asked after pondering for a moment.
“Only me,” replied Miao Wentang with a forced smile.
“You were already a cultivator when we first met; why does your family still have one cultivator?” Tang Xiu asked with a confused face. “Why not
“It is a custom established by our ancestors that my family should always have only one person to practice it: patriarch of every generation,” explained Miao Wentang. “Also, the main reason is the concern of internal dissension and competition for power and authority, which will damage the brotherhood of brotherhood.”
Tang Xiu quickly understood as he nodded and said, Your “Cultivation is already quite high, and you still have plenty of room for improvement in the future. You should break this established habit if possible because I think you have a good family member — especially when you're at the helm here. I'm sure there won't be any major problems that arise in the future. ”
“You told me that I was not allowed to give cultivation techniques to others back when you taught me more profound techniques. So ...” Miao Wentang said doubtfully.
“I don't know the nature of your family members before, so I naturally don't want a large number of cultivators to appear,” Tang Xiu said. “Now I have changed my mind, but my original intentions still remain. You can give to your family members who have good talent, but not too many of them. You should know that once you cultivate to a certain realm, You must I need a great cultivation resource — and I think your family cannot support more than ten farmers in the world of deep cultivation considering the wealth that your family has now. ”
Miao Wentang's complexion changed slightly and he fell into contemplation for a moment. Then he said, “I'll pick some good family members and teach them cultivation techniques since you said so. I can change the habits set by my ancestors, but I will also reestablish a new rule that the number of cultivators in my family should not be more than ten people! ”
Tang Xiu nodded in agreement and said again, “Alright. So, how about visiting the Lian Family place tonight?”
“No. We must know ourselves and our enemies better to win.” Tang Xiu shook his head and said, “I may have absolute confidence in myself, but many things have been lost due to the wrong judgment in this world. Therefore, we will only investigate the Lian Family in the dark so as to know their strength before we hit them. ”
“You have always been so calm and steady, but that scares you, Brother Tang,” sighs Miao Wentang. “If I have such frightening strength and so many strong men under me like you, I worry I've become an immoral and careless man already. After all, I have no problem with the idea, so let's go to the Lian Family put up tonight. ”
“One must be careful when making ships that can last for millennia. Society today is quite peaceful and there are very few risk factors and hazards involved in anything. But if you go somewhere else someday, where cultivators are everywhere and strong people are as much as the clouds, You will only last for a few days and will die if you are not careful, “ Tang Xiu said with a smile.
Miao Wentang was shaken and asked, “Where is that place?”
“I can't tell you because you won't benefit by knowing it now.” Tang Xiu waved his hand and said, “Keep cultivating well! One day when you have become much stronger and have surpassed the Nascent Soul Stage, I can tell you about it and even give you a great chance.”
“Good!” Miao Wentang was shocked on the inside and he nodded happily.
Before dawn arrived, Tang Xiu picked up Miao Wentang and quietly left the Miao Family home, leaving Xue Yu and Mo Awu's group there. This time, they were heading to gather intel, so he did not want to bring too many people.

The Lian Family Land was a much larger area than Miao's. It was not located within Ning City, but in the northwestern area of the city near Mount Qilian. In addition to the wide flat road on the south side of the residence with the village there, the other three directions were heavily forested land.
In the middle of the dim night, Tang Xiu and Miao Wentang were as if ghosts in the darkness as they quietly approached the Lian Family home. Tang Xiu did not even flinch because he had already seen many traps and guards hiding in the corner. However, Miao Wentang, who rarely saw such a situation, continued to look at the hiding figure of the Lian Family clan, as well as finding various types of traps and scouting tools.
“I really never expected to know about this!” In a dark and hidden corner, Miao Wentang sighed as he looked at the two and a half meter tall brick wall.
“What did you never expect, exactly?” tang Xiu asked in a whisper.
“I never thought that the current defensive measures prepared by the Lian Family would be so powerful,” whispered Miao Wentang. “I was here a few years ago, but I didn't find anything out of the ordinary. No defensive action at all. But now, when we had just closed a few kilometers away, we had found several guards and dozens of traps attached, as well as surveillance devices. I dare say that if the people who infiltrated this place tonight weren't us, they might have long since discovered who the intruder was. ”
“I also feel that the Lian Family is very special in this regard.” Tang Xiu nodded and said, “Suddenly I regret easily killing Family Head Lian now.”
“All ancestors of the Lian Family are the deepest circles of this family. All of them had served as Patriarchs in the past. They were also the ones who knew the Lians outside inside. Whether you are torturing and extorting some information from it, you can get a lot of useful information. ”
“Alright, come on in!”
Tang Xiu took out two Occult Spells. After placing one on Miao Wentang's body, his body floated up and instantly flew over the power grid on the high wall, then quickly entered the interior of the Lian Family home. Miao Wentang, however, was a little surprised when she saw Tang Xiu flying and jumping over in a conspicuous manner. He could not help but inwardly scream. But then, she remembered how powerful Tang Xiu was, after all,
When they went inside, a thick layer of trees and flower plants greeted them, as well as the scent of their flowers that were smelled by the night wind and attacked their nostrils.
“Why did you sneak in with such a conspicuous attitude, Brother Tang?” questioning Miao Wentang in a low voice after following Tang Xiu. However, there was a forced smile on his face.
Tang Xiu only gave her a faint smile in response. He did not explain anything to her, but went straight to the other side of the forest. Even at the edge of the forest, there were two men from the Lian Family smoking there, and yet, he still waltzed in indifferently.
‘What? Didn't he say that he came here to investigate? Why is she dancing so casually? Was he afraid that he would be found? ‘
Miao Wentang wanted to shout loudly to warn Tang Xiu, but the next scene made his eyes almost explode.
It was because Tang Xiu walked right in front of the two men who were smoking. He even stopped his steps and waved to them with a beaming smile.
It made Miao Wentang completely dumbfounded. Never once did it cross his mind that he would see such a strange sight. Tang Xiu clearly stopped right in front of those two Lian Family members, but they did not seem to notice it. They can't seem to see it at all and just keep smoking and talking to each other.
“Damn it! It's beyond fantasy!”
