Heaven-devouring Dragon Emperor

"That's true, it's just..." The person in the lead frowned and sighed, hesitant to speak.

"Just what?" The corners of everyone's eyes narrowed, and they asked quickly.

"It's just one more thing, don't you guys notice it?" The brow at the beginning became more and more wrinkled, and a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

Everyone noticed that there was a difference in the atmosphere, and for a moment their faces were all gloomy, and they looked deeply at that person.

The man at the head sighed, lowered his voice again, and said with a solemn face: "Did you hear any news from the Patriarch in the past few days?"

"Um?"

"Huh?"

"Hiss! Really not!"

Everyone's faces changed when they heard the words, and their hearts couldn't help trembling!

As the helm of the family, the head of the family, Shangguanhong, has always been the supreme figure in the hearts of everyone, almost a god-like existence.

But now that I thought about it carefully, I was really surprised!

"That's right! It seems that after that night, the Patriarch never showed his face again, could it be..." Someone hesitated to speak, and said a little unconfidently.

"Could it be what?"

"Could it be that Patriarch...was seriously injured in that battle?"

"How can it be?"

"According to the descriptions of several elders, the head of the family once showed great power in that battle, and once put the Great Elder at a disadvantage!"

The corners of everyone's eyes twitched wildly, obviously not believing the claim that the Patriarch was seriously injured.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple!" The leader shook his head and sighed, his brows still tightly knit.

"In the past, when the head of the family was in charge of the family, he would show up in front of people almost every day. Although we couldn't admire his demeanor up close, we could still see him from a distance. However, in recent days, the head of the family has not only disappeared, but Not even a word came out, such a situation... is really unusual!" The leader shook his head and sighed, his eyes filled with worry.

"What the hell is going on?"

"Could it be that... Patriarch was really injured secretly in that battle, but he suppressed it so that no outsiders could see it?"

"It's not impossible to say that. The Patriarch's injury is of great importance. Of course, outsiders can't see the clues, especially the Jing and Chang families!"

"Huh? I seem to have heard that the Patriarch once took the 'Heaven Transformation Pill' that was hidden in the family that night. Could it be that the pill was backfired, forcing him to retreat and heal his wounds?"

Everyone guessed for a while, but they gradually reached a consensus and realized that things were indeed a bit weird.

"It's good for you to know these things in your mind. Don't talk nonsense in front of others, or if it spreads, it may cause trouble!"

The person at the head shook his head and sighed, fearing that he would cause trouble if he continued, he waved his hand and walked away cautiously.

The few remaining people looked at each other in blank dismay. After a brief silence, they all got up and walked away.

But after they dispersed, they immediately put aside the warning words of the previous person, and one by one couldn't wait to go back to the various parts of the clan, and found their friends of the same clan to discuss quietly.

The news about the Patriarch's sudden retreat and possible serious injury spread rapidly throughout the entire family.

After half a day, the news even spread to the streets of Shunyang City, causing many good people to discuss it.

However, the reaction of the other two after hearing the news was a bit strange.

Neither the Jing family nor the Chang family showed any rash behavior, and even further strengthened the surveillance of the Shangguan family.

From the perspective of the two high-level officials, this is likely to be a smokescreen deliberately released by the Shangguan family!

Although it is not ruled out that Shangguan Hong may have been seriously injured, as long as they think of Jiang Tian, ​​they feel that things may not be so simple.

After all, judging from the situation that night, although Shangguan Hong took some kind of great medicine, he didn't actually participate in the fight.

Lou Gongfeng was forced away by Jiang Tianyi, and Shangguantu was besieged and killed by several elders. Shangguanhong himself actually spent most of the time on the sidelines, controlling the overall situation.

In this case, how could he be seriously injured?

However, the upper echelons of the Shangguan family ignored the news, let alone any news to refute the rumors, which is even more intriguing!

Could it be that the Shangguan family is spreading news on purpose in order to lure some interested people into taking the bait?

After some secret discussions between the Jing family and the Chang family, they did not act rashly in the end and remained cautious.

After all, their primary target was Jiang Tian. As for Shangguan Hong, even if he was seriously injured, it would not be so easy to overthrow him.

After all, behind him is the powerful heritage of the entire Shangguan family!

...

The forbidden land of the Shangguan family's spiritual veins.

After a few days, Jiang Tian's aura became more and more full, and the bottleneck of his cultivation base also loosened a little, but he was still far away from the real advancement.

As for Yun Xianghan, the situation is still not optimistic.

"Master Yunfeng, how do you feel?"

Jiang Tian slowly opened his eyes, stared at Yun Xianghan, and asked in a deep voice.

After a short silence, Yun Xianghan also opened his eyes and sighed leisurely.

"I'm afraid I will disappoint you!"

"What?" Jiang Tian frowned. Although he had expected it, he still felt very disappointed.

This is the spiritual forbidden place of the Shangguan family. If he hadn't forced Lou to worship him and indirectly brought down the scourge of the great elder Shangguan Tu for the Shangguan family, even if he was Shangguantong's lifesaver, he probably wouldn't have received such treatment as a forbidden retreat .

Of course, after that, he killed Jing Si and severely wounded Jing Wu, as well as beheaded Fan Da with a single sword, which also won the respect and awe of the Shangguan family.

In this way, when the Patriarch Shangguanhong arranged for them to go to the Lingmai Forbidden Land for retreat, the entire senior family only hesitated a little, but no one really objected.

Yun Xianghan frowned and sighed: "I have been injured repeatedly before, and it is difficult to recover in a short period of time. Today's bloodline spiritual power... barely reaches the seventh floor, and it is even slightly insufficient!"

Jiang Tian frowned when he heard this, his face was a little ugly.

Not long ago, after Yun Xianghan was injured, his blood spiritual power barely recovered to the seventh floor. This time the situation was even worse, even less than the seventh floor, which was really troublesome.

But there was more trouble than that. Although the spiritual veins of the Shangguan family were not bad, they couldn't fully match with Yun Xianghan's spiritual power after all, which also made her recovery slower invisibly.

Yun Xianghan's spiritual power is on the cold side, but this spiritual vein belongs to the fire spiritual vein of the warm attribute, and even has a little wood attribute spiritual power mixed in.

After all, this spiritual vein of the Shangguan family can be regarded as a "medium spiritual vein", and the spiritual power is quite mixed, far from pure.

Although overall the spiritual veins of the Kuang family in Fenghe town are slightly better, but in terms of the strength and purity of the spiritual power, it is still somewhat unsatisfactory.

In a situation like Yun Xianghan's, even if he continues to retreat here, even if he stays for ten and a half months, it will be difficult to recover more of his cultivation.
