Chapter 925: The Backers Behind the Lian Family

At night, in the residence of the Miao Family’s Head, Mo Awu, Jin Shi, and the rest who had received the news from Tang Xiu finally arrived. They reported the results of their investigation in the last few days. Yet, they couldn’t find out who the backers behind this family were at all.

“Alright. I’m heading there with Yan’er, so you guys will stay here and wait for the result,” decided Tang Xiu eventually after he gave it some thought.

“But Brother Tang, though I know that you and Senior Gu are very formidable, with only you two going over to the Lian Family, it’s kind of… what if…” blurted out Miao Qentang quickly.

“Spare your ‘Senior’ this and that regarding Yan’er, Brother Miao. It’s fine for you to just call her by her name.” Tang Xiu waved her hand and said, “You can rest your worry about us going alone, though. Even if those people are from the Netherworld, there won’t be a problem with Yan’er here.”

“This…”

Miao Wentang was still hesitant a bit, but he eventually nodded and said, “You don’t want my clansmen to go with you, so please at least let me and Mo Awu’s group tag along! They are very formidable and I think quite comparable to myself. Only when you make the men stand guard in the vicinity for assistance will I feel relieved!”

“If so, then you guys will follow us! Alright, let’s not delay matters, shall we? It won’t be convenient for us to act if its daytime, so let’s directly head off to the Lian Family’s place,” said Tang Xiu with a smile.

Gu Yan’er slightly chuckled and said, “Just tell me the place where the Lians live or tell me the appearance of their residence. I’ll take you all there.”

“You mean…” Looking confused, Miao Wentang asked, “Gu… Boss Gu… have you ever been in Ning City before?”

“Indeed, I have once visited this place before, but it was over 20 years ago,” answered Gu Yan’er.

Miao Wentang understood instantly and then told her the address of the Lian Family’s residence, including with the features of the building as she had requested. After some time, just as Miao Wentang was about to call someone to prepare a car, he only heard the buzzing sound of the wind and felt the world spinning around him. Soon after, he saw the environment in the surroundings had changed.

“This… what’s going on?”

He looked around with a dumbfounded look and couldn’t help but exclaim. Just a moment ago he was sitting in his house, so how did he end up somewhere else in the blink of an eye?

“That’s not right… this place is… the vicinity near the Lian’s residence?”

“You’ve never experienced it, so it surely seems strange to you. But you don’t need to feel confused, Brother. Yan’er’s power is beyond your imagination,” said Tang Xiu smilingly. “Anyway, you guys just wait here. I’m heading straight there with Yan’er. Also, don’t worry. We still have a way to inform you should we encounter any danger inside.”

“Understood!”

Mo Awu glanced at the shocked Miao Wentang. Even though his group was also shocked, they were still able to compose themselves much better than this man.

It was some time before daybreak and the Lian Family’s residence was in the midst of a serene atmosphere. In particular, the villa in the north looked like it was being engulfed by a deathly stillness. There were literally no other living beings other than the Lian Family’s ancestors who lived in the underground space. But Tang Xiu and Gu Yan’er were able to find that there were more than 40 experts of this family in the surroundings outside the Underworld Great array. They were divided into six teams that kept patrolling the place.

“Quite a tight security measure, huh?”

Gu Yan’er commented with a smile. She looked like she was enjoying the time spent alone carrying out the task with Tang Xiu.

“It’s indeed quite tight.” Tang Xiu smiled and said, “If we didn’t have the Invisibility Charm I refined, we could’ve been discovered by them already. Anyway, this Underworld Great Array is nothing to us, so I’ll take the lead towards the inside.”

“Alright.”

Her beautiful face beamed with a thicker smile as Tang Xiu’s hand winded on her waist.

A short while after, they had silently appeared in the underground space below the rockery. As Tang Xiu saw an old man sitting cross-legged, he blitzed lightning-fast and instantly sent a blow to kill him. A smile was now worn on his face as he said, “There were three Ancestors of the Lian Family here back then; they probably noticed that I killed two of them, so they replaced them with two others to fill up the secret chambers. Yan’er, if my guess is correct, a new array should’ve been arranged here to cover all the forty-nine underground secret chambers. Each chamber has great benefits to the Lian Family’s ancestors.”

“It’s the Netherworld Great Array,” said Gu Yan’er.

Tang Xiu’s brows creased and he replied, “The Underworld Great Array is on the outside, while there is another Netherworld Great Array on the inside? How did the Lian lay out these two arrays? You also know that these two arrays need very special materials as well as some very particular methods to arrange. Even cultivators at the Golden Core Stage could only dream about it if they wanted to arrange them.”

“The Lian Family’s ancestor has already become a half-revenant, Master,” sighed Gu Yan’er. “I can sense that there’s some particular thing inside their bodies.”

“What object exactly? And how come I was unable to notice it?” responded Tang Xiu with a puzzled face.

After he questioned himself, only then did Tang Xiu’s face turn slightly red as he realized that his present strength compared to Gu Yan’er’s was simply like the difference between day and night. She could sense it, but he may be unable to do the same.
