Chapter 168: Clan Extermination (1/2)
The Zhao family in Linjiang City has seen frequent personnel transfers in the past few days.
After all, the people in the Yunzang Realm and the Blood Exchange Realm are already the middle and high-level members of the clan, and their subordinates are in charge of a lot of family affairs.
Now that nearly half of these people are to be transferred at once, it is natural to arrange the handover of affairs.
This has resulted in a somewhat chaotic situation in the Zhao family, where the people below cannot find their superiors.
The people above suddenly have a lot of things to do, which makes them who never work overtime now have to stay up late and work overtime, which is very distressing.
In fact, not only the Zhao family is like this, but other forces are also like this, and they are in chaos.
Under such circumstances, Li Yan easily sneaked into Zhao Mansion.
Now is the perfect opportunity to destroy the Zhao family. In Li Yan's plan, the Zhao family is one of his targets.
In fact, it was also the fault of the Zhao family for seeking death. When they learned that the Li family had fled to Gui Yuanzong, the Zhao family also sent three Yunzang realm warriors to prepare to massacre the entire Li family.
Li Yan pretended to be a member of the [Red Blood Camp], stopped the three of them, killed two, and let one go.
At that time, Li Yan was thinking about how to kill the Zhao family.
If we keep such a trouble, we might cause trouble again in the future.
Now, it's time to implement the idea.
Li Yan was not familiar with the terrain of the Zhao family, so he found a person wearing the clothes of a direct descendant of the Zhao family and interrogated him.
About a quarter of an hour later, Li Yan walked out from a remote corner. His body shape, clothes and appearance had all changed into that of the person just now.
Following the information provided by the man, Li Yan arrived at the residence of the head of the Zhao family without any obstruction based on the clothes on his body and the look on his face.
This time, the Zhao family sent an early Xiantian clan member to participate in the crusade against the [Red Blood Camp].
On the surface, the Zhao family only has the patriarch, Zhao Deming, an early-stage innate warrior left.
Secretly, Li Yan didn't know if the Zhao family was hiding other innate warriors.
After all, this is one of the family's top secrets, and Li Yan didn't send a clone to the Zhao family, so naturally he wouldn't know it so clearly.
The place where the patriarch lives is a small single-family courtyard. At the entrance of the courtyard, there are four open guards and four secret guards.
Li Yan felt eight gazes, but there were only four people in front of him.
This was also the reason why Li Yan judged that there were hidden guards around.
"The clan leader has gone to bed. If you have anything to do, I'll report it tomorrow."
As soon as Li Yan approached, he was stopped by a Ming guard.
The other three Mingwei had quietly put their hands on the knife handles.
I believe that if it weren't for the fact that Li Yan was a direct descendant of the Zhao family, they would have taken Li Yan by now.
"I have something important to report. You go and tell the clan leader that Zhao Tongdi has something important to report regarding the safety of the family."
Li Yan did not continue to approach, but said to the guards anxiously.
The guard who stopped Li Yan frowned and said in a still stiff tone: "The patriarch has gone to bed. If you have anything to do, I will report it tomorrow."
Hearing this, Li Yan showed off his arrogance as a direct descendant of the Zhao family and scolded: "You dare to block my young master's way even though you are a little servant. I think you don't want to live anymore."
"Hurry up and inform me. If it's a big delay, you won't want the head on your head."
Li Yan was spitting on his mouth and poking the opponent's armored chest with his fingers, showing an arrogant attitude.
His attitude was so arrogant that it put these guards in a dilemma.
They knew that at this time, the head of the Zhao family, Zhao Deming, was having sex with the three beautiful maids they had just bought. If this interrupted the patriarch's elegance, they would not get good results.
But if they don't report it, looking at the arrogance of the people in front of them, they may not be able to get anything done.
Just when they were in a dilemma, a beautiful maid with a rosy face, springy eyebrows and somewhat messy clothes opened the courtyard door.
"My master has ordered Master Tongdi to come in."
The maid spoke in a hoarse voice.
As soon as these words came out, the guards heaved a sigh of relief and quickly got out of the way of the body blocking the hospital door. They watched Li Yan follow the maid arrogantly into the small courtyard.
The layout of the small courtyard is exquisite, with gardens, ponds and small bridges dotted in the rather small courtyard.
Li Yan, led by the maid, soon met Zhao Deming.
Zhao Deming frowned, with a look of worry on his face, and looked at Li Yan carefully.
"Zhao Tongdi, didn't you fool around tonight? Why did you come to my place? Is your butt itchy?"
Obviously, he knew very well what kind of person Zhao Tongdi was.
"No, no, I overheard an important piece of information today, so I came directly to see you as soon as I returned home."
Li Yan looked mysterious while quietly approaching Zhao Deming.
At this time, the distance between the two people was less than one foot.
Li Yan's words did not make Zhao Deming show any curiosity. Instead, he scolded him impatiently: "If you have something to say, say it quickly, and if you have anything to say, hurry up."
"What important information you heard is probably just someone's drunken nonsense."
Hearing this, Li Yan took a step forward, came three feet away from Zhao Deming, and said softly: "I heard someone say that tonight, the Zhao family will be destroyed."
Before Zhao Deming could react, a right hand flashing with five colors penetrated his heart like lightning.
In an instant, Zhao Deming's pupils narrowed rapidly, and he wanted to struggle and fight back.
But the next moment, his neck was crushed into a meat paste by this bloody colorful right hand.
Zhao Deming's neck fell down, but was held firmly by Li Yan's left hand, preventing it from falling to the ground.
After all, with Zhao Deming's innate cultivation, a head weighs 70 to 80 kilograms. If it falls on this wooden floor, it will make a lot of noise.
Putting Zhao Deming's head, which was still open, on Zhao Deming's knees, Li Yan twisted his two arms to protect his head and prevent it from falling.
Then, Li Yan went upstairs.
After two quarters of an hour, Li Yan came down from upstairs.
Those maids were knocked unconscious and tied up by him. The reason why he stayed there for so long was to look through the various materials left by Zhao Deming.
Zhao Deming is worthy of being the head of the Zhao family. Li Yan found the complete list of Zhao family members and Zhao Deming's personal collection in the secret compartment of the study.
Hundreds of kilograms of spiritual beads, dozens of bottles of spiritual pills, and a well-preserved second-grade medium spiritual medicine - [Shen Yuncao].
Li Yan recognized it at a glance. This is one of the main materials for refining the second-grade medium spiritual pill - [Shen Yundan].
[Shen Yundan] is one of the few pills in the innate realm that can improve mental power.
Of course, the medicinal materials of this kind of pill are rare and difficult to refine, so this kind of spiritual pill is very rare on the market.
It is estimated that Zhao Deming wants to collect the medicinal materials required for [Shen Yundan] and then find the alchemist of the Dan League to refine it.
Now it is a bargain for Li Yan.
Li Yan transferred the spiritual beads, spiritual pills and spiritual medicines to different clones and original bodies through [Transfer Space].
By looking through the list of Zhao family members in his hand, Li Yan found that the Zhao family really hid a congenital warrior.
A member of the Zhao family who is already 120 years old.
It is the generation of Zhao Deming's grandfather.
As for Zhao Deming's father's generation, no congenital warrior was born.
After all, a family like the Zhao family cannot guarantee that there will be a congenital warrior in every generation of the family.
However, as long as there is a congenital warrior born, the Zhao family can be maintained for a hundred years.
The list of Zhao family members only has names, seniority and cultivation, but no address.
Therefore, Li Yan determined the residence of the 120-year-old congenital master, Zhao Lingdong, through some letters in Zhao Deming's study.
And the Zhao family's hidden treasure house.
The Zhao family treasure house is divided into three parts, one of which is on the surface, and it contains some ordinary practice materials.
One part is in the [Tianwu Treasure House], which contains enough practice resources from skin grinding to the congenital realm, as well as practice methods and martial arts.
This is the backhand left by the Zhao family for future generations to prevent the family from being annihilated.
Almost every big family has such a backhand.
And they will all choose the [Tianwu Treasure House].
It is because the founder of the [Tianwu Treasure House] is a big force in the Tianwu Dynasty and is very credible.
For example, if the Zhao family is exterminated today, as long as there is still one member of the Zhao family left, that member can obtain the Zhao family's inheritance in any branch of the [Tianwu Treasure House] by dripping blood to identify relatives.
[Tianwu Treasure House] has the means to determine whether a person is a descendant of its own customers through dripping blood to identify relatives.
The last one, which is also the most precious one of the Zhao family, contains all the Zhao family's heritage.
Unfortunately, Li Yan did not find any description of this treasure.
The only record found completely shattered Li Yan's idea of taking it for himself.
It says that this last treasure was passed down by word of mouth by the clan leader, and only the clan leader knows the location of the treasure house.
However, Zhao Deming, the head of the Zhao family, has been killed by him.
It can only be said that this treasure has no chance with Li Yan.
After getting rid of Zhao Deming, Li Yan quietly slipped out of the courtyard, quickly found the dark guards around the courtyard, and killed them.
Finally, he killed the four bright guards at the door and threw all the bodies into the pond in the courtyard.
The reason for doing this is that Li Yan will eventually go out, and staying too long will arouse suspicion.
And if he goes out, he has no maid to lead the way, and once he goes out, he will arouse the vigilance of the guards.
The rules of the big family are very strict, and there are rules for entering and leaving.
Therefore, Li Yan can only take the initiative.
After that, Li Yan went straight to Zhao Lingdong's residence.
Not long after, Li Yan arrived at his destination, the library of Zhao Mansion.
Zhao Lingdong is the administrator of the library.
Looking at the five-story library, Li Yan took a deep breath, and did not rush in, but observed outside for a while.
At this time, it was almost the second watch, and the library was dark.
Li Yan was not sure which floor Zhao Lingdong was on.
"In this case, we have to use fire attack to force this person out."
So, a ball of fire Qi that was particularly dazzling in the dark night condensed in Li Yan's hands.
He pulled off a branch of a tree planted on the side of the road, and with his right hand covered with fire energy, he touched it casually, and the branch instantly caught fire.
He threw it hard, and the flaming branch flew in the air and quickly shot towards the library.
Once it hits, with the speed and force of the branch at this time, it will inevitably penetrate a layer of wooden wall outside the library and enter the bookcase containing many books.
Then he ignited a large number of books on the bookcase, and then ignited the entire library.
Unfortunately, halfway through, a figure flew down from the fifth floor and grabbed the flaming branch.
"It's here."
Seeing this, Li Yan's expression relaxed, and his target appeared.
The man's right hand holding the flaming branch shook and the flame went out. Then he flicked his hand and the branch shot towards Li Yan rapidly.
Li Yan casually hit the branch and smashed it into pieces.
At this time, an old voice came: "Who are you? Why do you want to be good at my Zhao family, and why do you want to set fire to the building in my Zhao family?"
"Could it be that you are deceiving me that there is no one in the Zhao family?"
With the last sentence, the huge sound spread in all directions. In this quiet night, it was enough to spread for several miles and cover most of Zhao Mansion.
Obviously, this is Zhao Lingdong conveying a signal of foreign invasion to the Zhao family.
Sure enough, as the sound waves spread, the scattered lights in Zhao Mansion spread exponentially in an instant.
Li Yan did not answer Zhao Lingdong's words, but rushed in front of Zhao Lingdong with a quick stride.
A long knife shining with five colors suddenly appeared in Li Yan's hand.
Thanks to Zhao Lingdong's rich experience, in an instant, he set up a long sword with green light and blocked Li Yan's attack.
"What are you so angry about?"
Zhao Lingdong stared at Li Yan's Five Elements Qi and asked incredulously.
Li Yan still didn't speak, but continued to increase the output of his true energy. The brightness of the multicolored light on the multicolored long knife instantly doubled.
With a click, under the erosion of the five-color zhenqi, Zhao Lingdong's little wood element zhenqi was instantly shaken away.
Without the protection of true energy, the spiritual weapon that Zhao Lingdong had used for decades instantly cracked and then broke.
"No", Zhao Lingdong only had time to say this sentence, and then he was stabbed in two by Li Yan.
Li Yan felt a little incredible when he saw Zhao Lingdong broken into two pieces on the ground.
"How could a congenital master die so easily?"
"There won't be any traps."
With a cautious attitude, Li Yan cut off Zhao Lingdong's head, and blood splattered everywhere.
"Really dead", this made Li Yan even more speechless.
What Li Yan didn't know was that Zhao Lingdong was too old, his body functions had declined significantly, and there was not much energy that could be stored in his dantian.
If Zhao Lingdong didn't have rich combat experience, his physical condition would be worse than that of a warrior who had just advanced to the early stage of Xiantian.
After killing Zhao Lingdong, Li Yan set fire again.
This time, the Zhao family's library was finally burned down.
Looking at the Zhao family members who were all around him like moths flying to the flame, Li Yan's eyes were indifferent and emotionless.
With a flash of figure, Li Yan charged towards the crowd.
When the Jin family received the news that the Zhao family had been wiped out, they looked very shocked.
Then Jin Fenglin quickly ordered that the Jin Mansion enter a state of combat readiness, and all clan members got up and led their troops in armor.
At the same time, he sent one of his capable assistants to the Zhao family to inquire about the situation.
Other families also made the same choice as the Jin family.
Suddenly, Linjiang City, which had been plunged into darkness, burst into lights.
At this time, the team sent to fight with the people from the [Red Blood Battalion] who stayed in various counties had arrived at their destination.
The battle is about to begin.
