Mountain dwelling practice: I am a gentle guest in the world

Chapter 497

Let's not talk about Gao Baifei for now. There is no trace of witchcraft or sorcery on Yang Zhihua's body. If her best friend's death is related to her, it means that she, who has independent consciousness, is willing to collude with the evil master. This is a big problem.

If a member of a noble family makes a mistake, the reputation of the entire family will be affected.

Yang Zhihua could not bear the torture or intimidation of the enemy and succumbed to the evil master, and even killed someone. In the eyes of outsiders, the entire Yang family might be of this character, and the older generation might also be the nails of the evil master lurking in the righteous path.

Therefore, the Xuanmen clans hoped that if their younger generations were captured, they would rather let them die from torture than let them live in disgrace and become accomplices of the evil.

Ordinary people could not endure torture and help the tyrants to commit atrocities, but the children of noble families could not.

If she/he really can't stand it and changes sides, it doesn't matter, just don't come back. Even if she/he is caught by Huafang or other noble families outside, she/he must never admit that she/he is someone's child.

Once admitted, whoever it is has to send someone to clean up the mess and show their attitude.

Of course, before there is irrefutable evidence, no noble family would admit that their own son had made such a fatal mistake.

"Ridiculous!" Boss Yang glared at Qi Dongbao. "Without any evidence, how can you just make up a story based on some coincidences? The young man doesn't understand the rules of our clan, don't you, Qi Dongbao, know them either? This is a fatal charge!"

What's more, Yang Zhihua's best friend died, but it was only that one time. After that, no similar tragedy happened to Yang Zhihua, but Gao Bofei's followers also...

Thinking of the word "also", the two elders of the Yang family couldn't help but look at the representative of the Gao family. There were many things that did not need to be explained too clearly between the noble families. They had already developed a tacit understanding after years of being of the same blood.

If it is true as the butcher said, both of them...

"According to the information Tu Qingyun obtained while lurking on the island, those people are in desperate need of sorcerers and have thought of many ways to lure and capture them." Facing the ugly faces of each family, Qi Dongbao still reported truthfully.

He is just a messenger, and the opinions of the various clans have nothing to do with him.

"Old Yang," the Long family representative looked at the Yang and Gao families and advised sincerely, "Let your youngster take a test."

"Yes," the other representatives said one after another, "Let's take a test. If nothing is wrong, we can rest assured and stop being suspicious."

"I suggest that we test all of our families?" The head of the Hong family suggested, "From what the young man said, he probably suspected that there were people from the other side lurking in our ranks for a long time."

The butcher's family's words alone were not enough to attract everyone's attention, but there were many survivors this time. After asking, we found out that their experiences were similar. They were all deceived by acquaintances or netizens to a certain place, and then went to "hell".

Those who have survived to this day are either very strong-willed and can't die no matter how much torture they are given, or they betray their relatives and friends and become executioners themselves.

The relative or friend who is betrayed must have something extraordinary, such as great wealth or power. A stranger is the best choice, whether he is a person with special abilities or a psychic.

If that relative or friend is good for nothing, he or she will still die.

The Hong family's suggestion helped the Yang and Gao families save face, and everyone present agreed. Huafang will also adopt this suggestion, first inspect the top management, and then let each area conduct self-inspection.

Seeing that the Yang and Gao families were worried about their respective children, some people deliberately changed the topic to lighten the atmosphere:
"Dong Bao, whose family is that person using the flying carpet? Is she a casual cultivator? Have you seen her true face?"

Although everyone had a rough guess, no one was sure, so there was always the possibility that it was someone else. If it was someone else, everyone would have to use their own abilities to recruit him.

"I've seen him, but I don't know him." Qi Dongbao shook his head.

He also suspected that the other person was the one from Lanxi Village. She gave him a similar feeling. But after all, he was not familiar with her and did not know her personality and behavior style, so he did not dare to make a conclusion.

Everyone didn't expect Qi Dongbao to give any answers, and they all looked at the Long family representative. "It's no use looking at me," the Long family representative also denied it, "Ayu received news from her that a friend of hers wanted to track down the island. He was afraid that she would be in danger, so he asked our people to take care of her."

This is of course nonsense. She changed her appearance just because she didn't want outsiders to know her identity, so of course I have to cooperate.

As for whether others can guess it, that is their business.

The identity of the person driving the flying carpet is in doubt, but it is ultimately a trivial matter and we should not waste too much time on it. Instead, the origins of the three people who descended from the sky are worth further investigation.

"Is there really a hidden family in this world?" Seeing the speed at which the three people attacked, everyone present was terrified. "It seems that they want to stop her from going to the rescue. This two-headed python must be a monster created by them."

It can be seen that this secluded family is full of malice towards the world and has bad intentions.

"Not only that, the alchemy formation of Qianye Island is very similar to the horror games in our country and the methods of those Western sects. And was the Hu family's attempt to seize the fate of the little queen also instigated by them?"

Some speculated, "If so, what is the purpose of this family? They have done so much and killed so many people. What do they want to do?"

The other party's intentions greatly overturned everyone's sense of mystery about the superiority of the secluded family.

In the eyes of the public, if there really is a hidden immortal cultivation family in this world, once they enter the world, they must be here to save the world. Because cultivators focus on merit, doing good deeds and accumulating merit is a small merit, saving the world and saving the people from disaster is a great merit.

That is what the secluded families should do, and those of them who are in the secular world will follow their lead.

It's not that they don't have ambition or backbone. Since ancient times, the strength of the hidden family has been far above the secular Xuanmen, without exception. If the hidden family wants to make trouble, the secular Xuanmen will most likely be completely overthrown, unless they join the other side.

The Hu family has joined, and it is unknown whether the Liang family, which was destroyed that year, has any connection with the hidden family.

So, as they chatted, everyone looked at the Yang and Gao families again. Although the Yang and Gao families were angry, they knew they were in the wrong and dared not speak out. In order to clear their suspicion, the two Yang family members immediately sent someone to call Yang Zhihua.

Only in this way can you express your attitude and position.

Seeing this, the Gao family had no choice but to send someone to call Gao Baifei and conduct a test in front of the various clans and the top leaders of the Huafang. As long as it was found that the two were innocent, their reputation would be clear from then on, and no one would talk nonsense anymore.

……

The capsizing and sinking of Chiba Island was covered up by special departments and did not cause much waves in the outside world.

Ordinary survivors were questioned layer by layer and had to undergo full body tests to prevent any remnants of witchcraft or sorcery. Their families were not notified to pick them up until half a month later.

The warlocks' tests were quite strict and required time as a buffer period, so they were not allowed to leave until more than a month later.

Guan Zhi was relieved to see Xiaoya being picked up by her family.

Xiaoya is an ordinary person and should have left long ago. But she was betrayed again by her companions, who said that she had been seriously injured but recovered for unknown reasons, and suspected that she was a spy chosen by the evil master.

The allegation was serious and she was retained for more rigorous testing.

Fortunately, the result was good, with testimony from Lao Ma, Jin Shu and others, and then the relevant departments notified her relatives to pick her up.
