Chapter 289 Internal strife escalates

Yun Qian, the elder of the second clan, has always been mysterious and gentle, but when he really gets angry, except for the elders of the big clan and the elders of the third clan, all the elders of the other clans are afraid of him.

Especially the clan elders who had a somewhat loose tone before were even more embarrassed and did not dare to face him.

Yun Qian did not continue to play, but said to the elders of the big clan and the elders of the three clans: "Boss, Third Lao, from my point of view, the palms and backs of my hands are all flesh, and I will not take sides. But now This is a critical period for our Yun family. Even if we have any internal dissensions, we can just make it clear on the table. We must not let outsiders fan the flames and make things worse. In the end, it is our Yun family that will suffer. "

Although these words are more sensible, they are obviously not enough to convince the rich man. Yunlong, the rich man, waved his hand: "Second brother, anyone can say beautiful things. If the person who died was not my brother, I would be happy to say it on the sidelines. It's easy to shut my mouth. As long as the murderer is caught and convincing evidence is provided, I will shut up. Otherwise, I can't kill my brother just for a few casual words. Just let it go and not pursue it.”

"Third brother, what do you say?" Yun Qian, the second clan elder, looked at Yun Chen.

Yun Chen sneered and said: "The elder of my Yun family was killed, and the murderer must be caught. Although my family is responsible for the security of the royal capital. But now we have to hunt down the remnants of the Jiang family and catch the murderer. I There are not enough manpower in the first line. Isn’t it stretched? If the old lineage wants to join in and hunt down the murderer, I would very much welcome it.”

Yunchen was actually helpless. He naturally knew that he had never done it. But he couldn't tell whether his own men had done this in private.

However, he asked them one by one in private, and basically, he was quite confident.

Yun Qian nodded: "Boss, now that we've said that, let's all work together to catch the murderer first?"

"Hmph! I will naturally catch the murderer. Whatever the truth is, I will definitely investigate to the end. If you bully me, who is afraid of whom?" After the wealthy man finished speaking, he stood up menacingly and kicked a chair. , the chair flew out directly, hit the wall hard, and fell to pieces.

It can be seen that the wealthy elder is extremely angry at this moment.

He kicked the chair away, not only to warn the old Yunchen of the three clans, but also to vent his dissatisfaction with the head of the Yun family.

Everyone looked at each other.

Especially Yun Qian, the old man from the second clan, originally wanted to talk about the rumors, but he didn't expect that the matter would become so embarrassing.

However, what needs to be said still needs to be said.

In fact, the main purpose of Yun Qian, the elder of the second clan, returning to the Yun family was not to mediate the conflict between the elders of the big clan and the elders of the third clan, but because of the rumor.

"Everyone, I am far away in Bailu Mountain and have heard that there are rumors circulating in the capital. I would like to ask, if this rumor is spread like this, do we, the Yun family, just let it go unchecked?"

"My lineage is guarding the Bailu Mountain to suppress the Jiang family's luck. When such rumors came out at this time, they should have been extinguished and blocked as soon as possible. Why did our Yun family not only fail to block it, but instead allowed this rumor to continue? Fermentation?”

"Third brother, you know the situation in this royal capital better than I do. Can you tell me about it?"

Yun Qian, the elder of the second clan, looked at the elder of the third clan with deep eyes.

When Yunchen heard this, he suddenly became unhappy: "Second brother, what do you mean by this? Do you want to accuse me as well? All the bad things in the world will be blamed on me, right?"

Yun Qian shook his head: "I don't mean to accuse, I just want to know how this rumor spread? Why didn't the family send someone to block the rumor as soon as possible and trace the source of the rumor?"

Yun Chen said angrily: "Isn't it because of Lao Liu's incident? At that time, the Yun family's attention was on Lao Liu's assassination. How could they find the energy to trace the source of the rumors? Moreover, these rumors spread very quickly. Hurry. By the time we try to stop it, it has already spread throughout the capital."

Yun Qian sighed: "If nothing else happens, there will definitely be a large number of casual cultivators flocking to Bailu Mountain in the past two days. Our Yun family's situation is becoming more and more passive."

Yunchen disagreed: "What's this? Just issue an announcement declaring Bailu Mountain as a forbidden area and prohibiting anyone from approaching. Anyone who breaks in without mercy will be killed without mercy."

"It's easy to say. If you really do this? Wouldn't you tell the world's casual cultivators that the rumor is true? Once the casual cultivators feel that the rumor is true, do you think the so-called ban can suppress them? Not only can't it be suppressed, but there will be More casual cultivators kept rushing over."

Yun Qian was resourceful, but he was still a little worried when he encountered this kind of thing.

It is not difficult for the Yun family to suppress one or two groups of loose cultivators. But if the number is tens of thousands, this is not a problem that suppression can solve.

Once public outrage is aroused, the Yun family, which has an unstable foundation to begin with, will even be knocked to the ground by casual cultivators.

After all, it is simply unrealistic for a family to fight against the scattered cultivators in the world.

Yun Chen suddenly asked: "Second brother, you have been stationed in Bailu Mountain for a long time. Do you have any clues about the inherited treasures? The national jade seal, the Jiang family treasure, and the inherited relics. It is impossible for these items to be all Don’t have any clues?”

"Clues are easier said than done? The Jiang family has three caves. Bailu Mountain Ancestral Temple is the most suspicious place, but no matter how we dig and search, there are no clues at all." Yun Qian also had a headache when talking about this topic.

Yun Chen showed a meaningful smile, as if talking to himself: "So, it's not just my lineage that didn't do well in Wangdu, everyone is the same? Why am I the only one who is blamed?"

At this time, an elder suddenly said: "The sixth elder was assassinated, and this rumor appeared so punctually. Everyone, do you think that these two things are the same thing? If we can find the source of the rumor, maybe we can find the murderer who assassinated the sixth elder?"

This remark reminded Yun Chen and Yun Qian.

"That makes sense. Third elder, our Yun family should not have internal strife now. All branches should help, no matter how difficult it is, to investigate the source of the rumor first. The spreader of this rumor may really have a lot to do with the death of the sixth elder."

The enemy is not terrible, but the enemy lurking in the dark, who knows the depth, is the most feared by the Yun family.

In the past, the Yun family was in the dark, planning to deal with the Jiang family.

Now the Yun family is in the open, while the enemy is lurking in the dark.

Soon, the elders of the Yun family jointly ordered to thoroughly trace the source of the rumor.

The situation in the entire royal capital suddenly became tense again.
