Chapter 471: Concern leads to confusion

In the Zhengqi Hall, the atmosphere seemed very solemn.

Wei Sizhe frowned and sat on the main seat, not knowing what to think.

Sitting in the hall were the remaining men of the clan, including Wei Siqian, Wei Zilian and his son, and Wei Zirui, who had just been recalled.

The abnormality that happened in the village today made everyone present feel uneasy.

A beast roared outside the village, frightening all kinds of animals to the point where their limbs were paralyzed and they fell to the ground without daring to get up. This strange sight had never appeared in Ruoye Creek.

Wei Sizhe sent someone to inquire, but even Wei Zhonghua, who had been dealing with wild beasts for many years, couldn't tell what kind of wild beast it was, so he had to send someone to Lingxi City to find Wei Yongyuan to ask how to deal with this situation.

Unfortunately, when Wei Ranmin arrived at Lingxi City, he did not see Wei Yongyuan. There was not even a guard on duty at the top of the city.

Back in the village, Wei Ranmin reported the situation, and Wei Sizhe's heart sank after hearing this.

Lingxi City has city guards on duty all year round, and there has never been a time when no one was guarding it. When this happens during this special period, it is easy to connect this matter with the anomalies in the village.

Puzzled, Wei Sizhe decided to work together and called all the men of the clan, except women and children, to the Zhengqi Hall to discuss a countermeasure.

Unfortunately, no one had a clue and couldn't contact Wei Yongyuan, so they could only sit in the hall and worry.

After a moment of silence, Wei Siqian suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth and said, "Let's go to Lingxi City and have a look. Maybe something has happened in the city. That is the foundation of the Wei family. We must not cause any trouble."

As he said that, he was about to walk out.

"Wait a minute."

Wei Sizhe hurriedly raised his hand to stop him and said in a deep voice: "There are many guards in the city, including my father and Zi Xun. Their combat power is extraordinary. If something really happens, not even a trace of news will be spread. Let's not get into trouble first." , Let’s see what happens.”

Wei Zirui's mind was alert, he cautiously raised his head and asked, "Could it be related to my cousin's breakthrough?"

"Chu Yang?"

Wei Sizhe thought about this possibility. Chu Yang had been in seclusion for three days. Except for the news in the past two days, there had been no news from last night to today. He didn't know what his current condition was.

However, according to Chu Yanglu's previous information, his breakthrough happened in these two days, maybe today.

Speaking of Chu Yang, Wei Siqian shook his head and said: "It's just a breakthrough of the golden elixir. It won't have such a big impact. I have seen in the classics that in places where spiritual energy gathers, there are often monsters that have become climates. If such monsters The roar of the beast may be a deterrent to ordinary livestock, so this situation occurs. "

"Monster!"

Wei Zirui's face turned pale. In his free time, he most likes to read novels to pass the time. When Wei Yuxin came back, she brought him a lot of fairy tales and fantasy novels. The names of monsters were often mentioned in them, so in his impression, this kind of monster They are all extremely vicious and powerful creatures that ordinary monks cannot deal with. If such things break into the village, many people will probably die at the mouth of the monster.

Wei Sizhe didn't think so, and shook his head: "The possibility of this is extremely small. My father once said that with the concentration of spiritual energy in Ruoye River, it would not be able to give birth to monsters with enlightened intelligence. Where there are monsters, At least it has to be a geomantic treasure like Thirty-Six Cave Heavens, so don’t worry too much.”

After hearing what Wei Yongyuan said, several people in the hall breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Wei Zilian suddenly said quietly: "Could it be that Chu... cousin failed to break through? I heard that monks failed to advance to the golden elixir, and out-of-control spiritual power will cause huge damage. If you think so, the voice may come from There is news from Lingxi City that the reason why there is no one guarding the city is because everyone is going to find out..."

"Shut up!"

Before he could finish speaking, Wei Siqian suddenly shouted loudly, interrupting Wei Zilian's assumption.

Wei Zilian shrank his neck in fear and moved slightly away from Wei Siqian, fearing that he would be punished on the spot by his furious father.

Chu Yang's breakthrough in seclusion is a very important matter. All the Wei family members are looking forward to his success. Although several people in the hall can't help but connect today's abnormality with the possibility of Chu Yang's breakthrough failure, they said it so openly. , it can’t help but make people think that he is gloating about his misfortune.

Therefore, no one took the initiative to mention this matter, but Wei Zilian had a low emotional intelligence and was outspoken at the moment, so he couldn't help but speak out first, and his father reprimanded him without any suspense.

"Say it nicely and don't do anything."

Seeing that Wei Siqian wanted to teach his son a lesson in class, Wei Sizhe smiled bitterly and persuaded him: "The possibility Zi Lian said is not impossible. The current plan is to summon the young men to patrol around the village so that if there is any accident, we can deal with it in advance. Siqian, I’ll leave this to you, okay?”

Wei Siqian nodded solemnly and said, "No problem, I'll do it right away."

Just as he was about to turn around and go out, there was a sound of footsteps outside the courtyard.

Several people were overjoyed, thinking that Wei Yongyuan and the others were back, and hurriedly walked to the door to greet them.

Unexpectedly, it was Wei Yuxin, mother and daughter, who came.

"Yuxin, why are you here?"

Wei Sizhe asked in surprise.

Wei Yuxin's eyes turned red and she forced a smile: "It's okay, I just got blinded by the sand."

"Um."

Wei Sizhe nodded and asked, "Are you here to inquire about Chu Yang?"

When Chu Yang was mentioned, Wei Yuxin couldn't calm down anymore and hurriedly asked: "Is there any news about Chu Yang?"

"not yet……"

"Then, did eldest brother send someone to inquire?" Wei Yuxin continued to ask.

Wei Sizhe looked at his brother and shook his head, saying, "I went to inquire, but unfortunately there was no one in the city, and I didn't see my father."

Since Chu Yang started his retreat, Wei Sizhe sent people to Lingxi City every day to inquire about the situation.

The people guarding the city said that everything was normal in the city according to Wei Yongyuan's instructions, and nothing had happened.

Everything was normal, which meant that Chu Yang had not made a breakthrough. If he had made a breakthrough, it would definitely cause a lot of noise, and Wei Yongyuan would naturally not let anyone spread false news.

But from last night to this morning, Wei Yongyuan did not give any explanation, and even after sending people to inquire again, there was no one in the city, which seemed very strange.

Wei Yuxin cared about her son and asked Yi Xue to come and see the situation from time to time.

However, from last night to noon today, Wei Sizhe kept saying that there was no news, which made Wei Yuxin very worried. She couldn't help but wonder if Chu Yang had an accident. Wei Sizhe and others were worried that they would not be able to accept it, so they used this excuse to delay time.

As the saying goes, concern leads to confusion, and this can be seen in her.

This thought lasted until the afternoon. For some unknown reason, the village suddenly became noisy, and people cried out from time to time. Obviously, something surprising had happened.

Wei Yuxin and Wei Zixi had low cultivation and did not hear the beast roar. Yi Xue faintly heard some sounds and thought that some beast had come to the village, so she asked the mother and daughter to hide in the house, and she took up her weapon and went out to investigate the situation.

After finding out the cause of the matter, Yi Xue hurried back and told Wei Yuxin what had just happened.

After hearing about this rare strange phenomenon, Wei Yuxin thought of her son who had no news from her, and she couldn't help crying in a hurry.

After waiting for a while, Wei Yuxin sorted out her mood, forced herself to cheer up, and planned to go to her eldest brother in person to ask about the situation.
