Chapter 389 The Huo Family's Response

After Chen Qingyun and the others left, only half an incense stick of time passed, and within a radius of ten miles, a group of carnivorous fish began to gather here, smelling the scent of the hunting monster flower.

Following these carnivorous fish, a tiger shark came here smelling the scent.

Soon, more than a dozen monsters gathered here, and they fought each other, completely disrupting this battle sea area.

More than ten days later, in the Huo Family Castle, a clan member found that the soul lamps of Huo Yansheng and Huo Yanxin were extinguished, and he was so scared that he hurried to report to Huo Xinglong, the head of the Huo Family.

The Purple Mansion Family lost two Purple Mansions at once. Even if the Huo Family was a big family, it could not bear such a loss. The family strength suddenly dropped by 30%.

Such an incident immediately alarmed the entire Huo Family. Huo Xinglong put down the important matters at hand that day and began to investigate the matter himself.

Huo Lingming, the third elder of the Huo family, found Huo Xinglong and said in a deep voice with a frown: "Could Yansheng and Yanxin be killed by those old guys from the Sun family? The Sun family has been competing with us a lot recently."

"It may not be them."

Huo Xinglong shook his head.

"Yansheng and Yanxin are quite powerful. To deal with them, at least a late-stage Purple Mansion cultivator is needed."

"On the Sun family side, several Purple Mansion cultivators are currently concentrated in the clan area and have not gone out. The people we have placed in their family have not reported any news."

"If it's not the Sun family, then could it be the Ling family? The old monster of the Ling family is not in Heming Mountain recently to collect medicinal materials for retreat and condense the golden elixir. No one knows where he is exactly. It is possible that he will take action."

When Huo Xinglong heard the term "old monster of the Ling family", his face sank, and he immediately felt that things were becoming a little tricky.

After a moment of hesitation, he was still unsure, so he could only say viciously: "The Sun family will be eradicated sooner or later. If they insist on harming my Huo family's Purple Mansion at this time, I will make them pay with blood!"

The two discussed it.

Finally, after a lot of inquiries from the clan, they learned that Huo Yansheng and his partner had visited Hongyan Island more than ten days ago and participated in the exchange conference at Tianxin Pavilion.

Huo Xinglong seized this clue and started investigating with two family elders.

The next day, the three of them set foot in Hongyan Market and personally visited Taoist Hongri to ask Huo Yansheng and his partner whether they had participated in the exchange conference.

After confirming it, they asked about the specific situation of the conference that day.

This time, the Huo family concealed the fact that two Purple Mansion monks had fallen in the family in order to prevent foreign enemies from taking advantage of the opportunity to attack. Leaking it out would be disadvantageous to the Huo family.

With a little clue, the Huo family speculated that the murderer was among the people participating in the exchange conference, and they needed to check them one by one first.

There was no other way. This was the only feasible clue at present.

Although Taoist Hongri was at the top of the Purple Mansion, he was not afraid of the Huo family, but seeing that the Huo family had mobilized so many troops, something big must have happened.

So Taoist Hongri, thinking that it was better to have less trouble than more, gave a detailed account of the situation of those who participated in the exchange meeting that day.

Including Taoist Hongri, there were a total of 32 Purple Mansion cultivators.

These people came from all over the place, mostly from sects and families, and there were also three independent cultivators, none of whom were small figures.

Even though Taoist Hongri had a wide range of friends, he only knew about half of the 32 people.

The remaining dozen or so were not local cultivators from the Xingluo Islands, which put the investigation at a stalemate.

Half of the Purple Mansion cultivators did not know their origins, and Huo Xinglong looked a little gloomy. In the end, he could only ask Taoist Hongri to draw the appearance of those people.

The cultivators had a good memory. If it were Sun Tie, Li Ruyi, Ling Hongtu and others who participated in the exchange meeting that day, they could draw the appearance and figure of all the participants completely.

In a short while, Taoist Hongri drew more than a dozen portraits, all of which were unfamiliar.

As for whether the monks in the portraits all appeared with their real faces, it would be necessary to distinguish the authenticity by oneself.

"Thank you for this matter, Taoist Hongri."

"It is a matter of great importance. We will not stay for long. If you meet one of these portraits again in the future, please let me know as soon as possible. My Huo family will definitely give you a thank you gift."

When Huo Xinglong left, he took out a communication talisman and handed it to Taoist Hongri. He said a few polite words, with a commanding attitude, and didn't care whether the other party accepted the communication talisman or not.

The Huo family acted arrogantly and had long developed the habit of looking down on others.

It was also because of this that the Huo family had a reputation of being arrogant and conceited outside, and made many enemies.

But even so, no one dared to fight the Huo family and stir up the foundation of this Zifu family.

Now, the family has lost two Purple Mansions, and the foundation has been greatly reduced. Huo Xinglong still doesn't know how to restrain himself, which makes Taoist Hongri frown secretly, and he politely accepts the communication talisman.

When Huo Xinglong and the other two left the market, Taoist Hongri immediately threw the communication talisman aside and ignored it.

This pool of muddy water cannot be waded at all.

Taoist Hongri knows very well what the strength of Huo Yansheng and Huo Yanxin is. If he wants to kill them, they must be at least in the late Purple Mansion cultivation, and he has to kill them at the risk of being hunted down by the Huo family.

A Purple Mansion cultivator who can have this confidence is not an ordinary person?

He is a casual cultivator, and his cultivation has reached the peak of Purple Mansion. He also has a place in the Xingluo Islands.

But if he ties himself to the Huo family's boat to help the Huo family to inform them, it is hard to say whether it is stable or not, so why would he do such a stupid thing.

The Taoist Hongri is an old fox. He quickly figured out the pros and cons here and decided to stay out of it and cut off contact with the Huo family.

The Huo family has been rampant for many years, doing evil in the Xingluo Islands and has accumulated a bad reputation.

The most blameworthy thing is that in order to accelerate the expansion of the population size in the past few decades, the Huo family has condoned family monks and mortals to rob women from all over the place. Because of this, many small families have deep resentment towards the Huo family and dare not speak out.

However, the Huo family is an old purple mansion family, and there are purple mansion monks from Wuyin Island behind them, which makes people afraid.

In the entire Xingluo Islands, the other two purple mansion families, the Ling family and the Sun family, will not fight over such things because of mutual checks and balances, and will not start a family war to damage their own foundation.

The Huo family knows that the Ling and Sun families are not easy to provoke, so they try to restrain their clansmen and avoid the clansmen of these two families. The other small families do whatever they want without any intention of restraining themselves.

After decades of development, the Huo family has indeed grown in size, which has led to the Huo family members becoming more and more arrogant and looking down on others.

In the long run, the Huo family will sooner or later be isolated by other families in the Xingluo Islands, and even attacked by them, but not now.

Such a notorious Huo family has only themselves to blame for their failure this time. Someone should have taught them a lesson long ago.
