Chapter 694 Nanxishan Cao Family!
Nanxi Mountain.
It is a not-so-high mountain peak close to the Qianling Mountains in the south of Cangshan Fairy City.
It's just that because there is a spiritual vein near this mountain, the spiritual energy around Nanxi Mountain is relatively strong. It is a rare treasure land for cultivating immortals. This is why the ancestor of the Cao family took a fancy to it, and after a fight, the Cao family finally settled down. Here it is.
After decades or hundreds of years of development, it has slowly evolved into the current Jindan Immortal Cultivation Family, the Cao Family!
Cao Hang controlled the flying sword and quickly returned to Cao's house.
The Cao family token tied around his waist flashed, and he entered the Cao family's clan-protecting formation.
What comes into view are rows of antique attics at the foot of the mountain. From time to time, you can see a few figures living in the attics, and there are many children playing and playing outside the attics.
There is also a row of exquisite lofts halfway up the mountain, but the number is much smaller, and each loft is more exquisite and larger in area.
On the top of the mountain is a stone palace made of bluestone.
Looking at the stone palace on the top of the mountain, Cao Hang couldn't help but a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, because everyone knew that the stone palace was the retreat place of their ancestors of the Cao family, and they were not allowed to enter without being summoned.
After returning to Cao's house, Cao Hang immediately flew to an exquisite attic halfway up the mountain.
Arriving in front of the attic, he immediately took out a transmission note, said a few words on the transmission note, and then shot the transmission note towards the attic door.
Soon, a slightly older voice came from the attic: "Come in!"
"yes!"
Cao Hang did not dare to hesitate and accepted the order, and then walked into the attic with a solemn expression.
Entering the hall on the first floor of the attic, he immediately saw an old man with black hair and a somewhat majestic face sitting on the innermost seat, and this old man was staring at Cao Hang.
"Cao Hang meets the head of the family!"
Cao Hang immediately walked a few steps to the old man and saluted respectfully.
Obviously, this person is the head of the Cao family.
Anyone who is familiar with the Cao family will know that the head of the Cao family is named Cao Ying.
Facing Cao Hang's salute, the head of the family, Cao Ying, just nodded slightly and said, "Well, you're back? Sit down!"
"Yes, thank you very much, Master!"
Cao Hang sat down respectfully on the side.
Although Cao Hang was also a foundation-building monk, he did not dare to show any disrespect to Cao Ying, the head of the family.
Not only because Cao Ying is a monk in the late stage of foundation building, but also because Cao Ying is the elder, and has been in charge of the Cao family for many years as the head of the family, and is highly regarded by the ancestors of the Cao family, so Cao Ying is quite prestigious in the Cao family, and almost all Cao families No one in the family dared to show any disrespect to Cao Ying, even the foundation-building monks.
Although Cao Ying looked majestic, his words were quite gentle. He looked up at Cao Hang and asked calmly: "You are so anxious to see me, but what's the matter?"
Although Cao Hang tried his best to hide it after he came in, the anxiety in his eyes could not be hidden from Cao Ying at all.
Cao Hang didn't dare to hide it. He hesitated for a while and said directly: "Master, something may have happened to Cao Jiang and Cao Zhen!"
"Maybe something happened? Cao Jiang and Cao Zhen? What's going on?"
Cao Ying frowned slightly and immediately turned his questioning eyes to Cao Hang.
Cao Hang took a deep breath and immediately explained: "My nephew, I received news a few days ago that although a certain deacon in Cangshan Immortal City was only at the second level of foundation building, his combat power was quite good. He fought with his colleagues many times. We have never lost a battle with other monks, so Cao Zhen and I wanted to invite that person to fight for us and help us complete the battle in the early stage of foundation building."
"Who would have thought that that man didn't give our Cao family face at all, refused to speak out many times, and finally insulted our Cao family. Cao Zhen was so angry that he went to find Cao Jiang after the man left, and then the two of them It seems like we are going to cause trouble for that person.”
"Whether this matter is serious or not, my nephew just thought that the two of them wanted to teach each other a lesson, so he didn't pay much attention at first."
"But a day and a night passed, and Cao and Zhen did not return. My nephew was worried that something might happen to them, so he went out to look for them."
"Who would have thought that my nephew did not find the whereabouts of Cao and Zhen, but found some... some not so good traces."
"Therefore, my nephew will come back and report this to you immediately!"
After saying that, Cao Hang showed an uneasy expression.
However, after hearing what Cao Hang said, Cao Ying just frowned, his face did not change at all, and asked directly: "Who is the person you are talking about? What is his current status in Cangshan Immortal City? Cao Zhen and Cao and Jiang went to find trouble for each other, who knows about this? "
"Also, what do you mean by those bad signs? Have you confirmed that something happened to the two of them? Where is that person now?"
Cao Ying asked a series of questions directly.
He has been in charge of the Cao family for many years, and has already developed the skill of not losing color even when the mountain collapses. Now when he heard about such a thing, he immediately considered the matter from multiple angles calmly.
Cao Hang was stunned for a moment, and then replied hurriedly: "The man's name is Wei Hong. He is a casual cultivator who just broke through to the foundation building stage a few years ago. He is now the deacon of the third-grade outer sect of Cangshan Immortal City, and is currently responsible for guarding Bing. No. 7 Lingzhi Garden.”
"Only his nephew knew that Cao Zhen went to find trouble for the other party. The traces he found were traces of the corpse being burned to ashes, and the remains of some minced meat and fragments of clothes. The traces found by the nephew were The fragments of the robe are quite similar to those worn by Cao Jiang’s clan members!”
After finishing speaking, Cao Hang carefully glanced at Cao Ying's face.
The meaning of his last sentence was actually very clear. It was obvious that he judged that Cao Jiang and the other two had been in trouble based on these two traces.
"Wei Hong? A third-rank outer sect steward?" Cao Ying's brows were still tightly knitted. He glanced at Cao Hang indifferently, and then asked coldly: "So, do you think that the accident of Cao Jiang and the other two should be related to Wei Hong?"
"My nephew thinks this possibility is the greatest, but the truth needs to be investigated before we know it." Cao Hang was a little cautious and did not say it directly.
Cao Ying thought for a moment and asked, "If that's the case, how do you think we should investigate?"
Cao Hang was overjoyed, but he pretended to think for a while before answering, "My nephew thinks that this matter concerns the life and death of two of our clansmen, and we must be cautious. Therefore, my nephew urges the head of the family to send someone to check the place where my nephew found the traces. If there is any result, send someone to question Wei Hong to see if it was him who did it."
"At the same time, we need to send more people to find the whereabouts of Cao Jiang's brothers and see if they are safe and sound, but have not returned to the clan!"
Even though Cao Hang wanted Cao Ying to send someone to seek revenge on Wei Hong immediately, he did not dare to express it directly. Instead, for the sake of safety, he proposed two more feasible suggestions.
