Upon hearing this, the eldest son of the Wang Clan showed a hint of hesitation on his face:
That might not be a good idea, right?
The calamity of the Corpse Demon is a disaster that will sweep across all living beings. We are also witnesses to it. If we stand idly by, we will only damage our reputation.
Furthermore, Uncle, you promised that Elder Chen Clan that you would thoroughly investigate this matter.
The disheveled old man waved his hand and spoke;
If the sky falls, the taller ones should hold it up first. The Chen Clan is much stronger than us, so they are the most suitable to step forward.
Our most urgent task right now is to send the successor of the Saint King back to the clan.
He paused for a moment, then chuckled and said:
Besides, I never said I wouldn't investigate, right?
The members of the Eighteen-Family Alliance are ready-made leads; you can send a group of people to investigate them one by one.
The Chen Clan family will definitely be keeping an eye on the Yanggu Zhang Clan.
Let them tackle the tough challenges; we'll just provide support from the sidelines. We'll also notify them immediately of any leads to avoid them saying that the Wang Clan hasn't contributed.
Upon hearing this, the eldest son of the Wang Clan changed his expression, and finally lowered his head and said:
Yes, I understand..52000. S0m҈
Um.
The old man with disheveled hair nodded and said:
That's settled then. You arrange this immediately.
The rest of you, just wait here for now. Once my previous message arrives via flying sword, an ancestor will tear through the void and come to take you away.
In this way, you will be spared the trouble of flying away, and the safety of the Saint King's lineage will be guaranteed.
Upon hearing this, the eldest son of the Wang Clan couldn't help but say:
Uncle, what about you?
I?
The disheveled old man sighed:
Since my Wang Clan's prodigy has inherited this part of the Heavenly Sword Saint King's lineage, then I must bear the consequences.
I must remain at Heavenly Sword Mountain, replacing the dissipated sword intent, to guard Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge and prevent the desolate calamity from erupting again.
He chuckled self-deprecatingly as he spoke:
There are some things in this world that someone has to bear.
Otherwise, do you think I wouldn't want to be a hero and follow the Chen Clan to the Yanggu Zhang Clan?
Upon hearing this statement:
Those present, including Wang Clan, fell silent.
Within the Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge.
More than an hour later, the hundreds of thousands of the Spirit Origin Realm Venerables who had gathered from all directions had long since scattered and fled.
At the same time, the terrifying news that the Wilderness Calamity had broken out and that a horrifying Desolate Beast had appeared and bitten off half of Heavenly Sword Mountain spread like wildfire, causing a sensation throughout the entire canyon.
In a short time
All factions within the canyon were gripped by fear, leading to a massive exodus of people who surged forward like a tidal wave, fleeing for their lives.
The sword intent of the Heavenly Sword Saint King dissipated in an instant, and the Desolate Beast appeared in the world. The prosperous scene of the southern passage of the Heaven Continent immediately vanished.
In such a chaotic situation:
Chen Qingyu and Wu Su'e quickly found detailed intelligence about the Eighteen-Family Alliance.
The Eighteen-Family Alliance, on the surface, a loose alliance formed only a few months ago, solely to protect the common interests of the Saint King of Heavenly Sword Mountain when his image appears in the mortal world.
In other words, they didn't have a fixed base at all.
After discussing it, Chen Qingyu and Wu Su'e went from house to house, searching for evidence based on the intelligence and the distance.
During this period, they naturally encountered considerable resistance.
However, the upper echelons of the Eighteen-Family Alliance were almost completely wiped out, and many others fled in fear. What remained were the elderly, the weak, women, and children, who naturally could not stop the two of them.
In just half a day:
The two searched five organizations thoroughly, finding a lot of evidence of their collusion, but they didn't find anything further.
And at that very moment:
One of the Wang Clan's sword cultivators at the Divine Ability Realm approached Chen Qingyu and his companion, claiming to have found crucial evidence.
In a hall somewhere in the latter half of Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge.
What?
After hearing the story, Chen Qingyu's eyes narrowed instantly, and he pressed for an answer:
Are you sure?
Is the Canhe Zhang Clan truly a branch of the Yanggu Zhang Clan?
certainly!
The Wang Clan Divine Ability Realm cultivator opposite him, a burly man with a thick beard, said in a deep voice:
Among the Eighteen-Family Alliance, the Canhe Zhang Clan is the true leader, with three Heavenly Impulse Realm Venerables presiding over their clan.
In their ancestral home, we found a secret room containing a lot of top-secret information, including their clandestine communications with the Yanggu Zhang Clan.
He paused for a moment before continuing:
As my uncle instructed, I have brought those top-secret intelligence reports with me.
After he finished speaking, he reached out and flipped his hand, taking out a golden chip and handing it to Chen Qingyu.
Chen Qingyu reached out and took it, immediately channeling his True Essence into it to examine it.
call!
A moment later, he exhaled a breath of stale air, his eyes flashing slightly:
Now, the suspicion against the Yanggu Zhang Clan is growing stronger.
This chip contains a lot of secret information:
Thousands of years ago, a member of the Yanggu Zhang Clan secretly left the Southern Region and came to Heaven-Reaching Sword Gorge, where he established his Lineage and multiplied.
On the surface, the two Lineage are hundreds of millions of miles apart and have no connection whatsoever.
Even the techniques of the Canhe Zhang Clan are completely different from those of the Yanggu Zhang Clan. Apart from both having the surname Zhang, they have no similarities whatsoever.
But in reality
The Canhe Zhang Clan has always been a secret branch of the Yanggu Zhang Clan, a spies they planted at the entrance to the Southern Region, maintaining secret contact and obeying the orders of their master.
Based on this alone, it would be difficult for the Yanggu Zhang Clan to clear themselves of suspicion.
Your Excellency Shaojun Master.
The bearded swordsman from the Wang Clan stood up and said politely:
The intelligence has been delivered. Our Wang Clan will continue to thoroughly investigate the matter of the Eighteen-Family Alliance.
I'm counting on you for this clue.
good.
Chen Qingyu nodded slightly, his expression unchanged.
Then I'll take my leave.
The burly man with the thick beard hurriedly left the hall, transforming into a streak of Sword Qi and disappearing into the distance.
After he left:
Wu Su'e, who was standing to the side, finally spoke:
This Wang Clan is truly used to shirking her duties and cheating; she only goes through the motions.
The Eighteen-Family Alliance is clearly just an insignificant pawn; what's the point of investigating it?
never mind.
Chen Qingyu shook his head and said:
They didn't want to confront the Yanggu Zhang Clan, nor could they force them.
Wu Su'e's eyes flashed, and she asked:
So, what are you going to do when you arrive at the Yanggu Zhang Clan?
What else can be done?
Chen Qingyu chuckled, his gaze deep and resolute:
They are now suspects, and highly suspected!
If I were to go, it wouldn't be under my current identity, but rather as Chen Shaojun, openly and legitimately arriving in Yanggu to coerce them!
They must make all materials publicly available for review; lift all restrictions and allow free searches; and investigate all suspicious persons!
Including that mysterious woman, I suspect she is a direct descendant of the Yanggu Zhang Clan!
He tapped the table and said in a deep voice:
This time, I'm determined to turn the Yanggu Zhang Clan upside down!
