Qingyunxian

Chapter 289 Chen Family’s Response
With the Drunken Buddha Bamboo, the output of Cloud Essence could barely keep up with the consumption of Cloud City.

But as more and more wild people are educated, the scale of Yuntian will sooner or later fail to keep up.

The ecology of Cloud City is not complete, and the most basic grass-type cloud plants have not yet been determined. Liu Xun wondered whether he should travel to Qingyu Naren's Cloud City to steal a grass-type cloud plant.

With the method of "It's Hard to Meet Again", it seems that there is still a chance.

Thinking of this, Liu Xun was silent for a long time. The other party was inside the mountain gate. If he swam over, he would risk being discovered by the strong men in the mountain gate.

And some magical powers will inevitably make it difficult to see through each other.

After comprehensively considering the risks and benefits, Liu Xun finally gave up this plan.

If he travels to Qingyu, he will not be able to use the reset method to avoid danger. If he dies in Qingyu Yuncheng, he will be really dead.

Fate travel is different from body travel. Body travel is inevitable. As long as it is not excessive, the strong people of the mountain gate usually will not intervene.

But Mingyou was different. Anyone else who casually broke into Yuncheng would be killed immediately.

Even if he left an order in advance for the citizens to kill Deng Changsheng tonight, Liu Xun could save his life, but with the crisis before the reset still existing, he would probably gain nothing from Qingyu, and would have to sacrifice a year of his lifespan, and the black color of the Soul Court would expand.

It’s better to proceed step by step, and wait until you break through the fourth level of body refining to see if there are any suitable cloud plants.

Inside the house, Liu Xun looked out the window, lost in thought at the rain scene, holding a cup of green tea in his hand.

This is the tea that the citizens found in the mountains. It’s a pity that it is not Yunzhi, otherwise they would have been able to drink it all the time.

It was a rare moment of leisure without any external enemies, so Liu Xun slowed down his training. He relaxed his mind and felt the sound of rain and wind.

The demeanor of Mr. Liu emanated faintly, dispelling the impetuous mood of the time.

In the heavy rain, some people were not as leisurely as Liu Xun.

"Chen Hua is dead!" The leaders of the Chen family's side branches gathered together. The core magic mark left by Chen Hua in the clan disappeared, indicating that he was dead.

In the family, every celestial being would use their core method to leave a mark in a strange shadow wall. Even if the core method they practiced was the same, the marks left behind would be unique because each person's spirit was different.

Once a member of the clan dies, the corresponding core magic mark left behind will disappear, allowing the family to clearly know the life or death of the member.

This is the Chen family's method. Other family sects also have similar methods, but they are slightly different.

If it was an ordinary member of the tribe, it would be fine. However, Chen Hua is the youngest Chi Zun in the tribe, and the family has begun to allocate resources to him. Now that he is dead, the tribe will certainly not let him go.

This matter has not yet alarmed the main line. Several leaders of the side branches first discussed how to deal with it and then reported to the head of the main line.

"Chen Hua had been to the Cailou once before, and then he went out alone. He died within five days."

"I asked Cailou to divine the location of his death, and went to check with the third brother, but there was no body left."

No body has been found, and the place is in a sparsely populated remote area, so it is not easy to find out who the murderer is.

A fat and bloated old man slammed the table and said, "I learned from the Cailou Guard that Chen Hua, this evil creature, actually kept cloud thieves. I guess he went to find those cloud thieves."

This old man is Chen Hua’s grandfather, so it’s okay to curse him as an evildoer.

After Chen Hua came out of the Cailou, the guard began to collect information from the three weavers according to the custom of the Cailou, and combined with Chen Hua's past whereabouts, he finally came to the conclusion that Chen Hua had raised a group of cloud thieves outside.

This time, Chen Hua's grandfather Chen Yuanfeng was investigating his death, and the Wei envoy sold the news to Chen Yuanfeng.

The people nearby looked at each other in bewilderment. Are they raising cloud thieves?
Is this boy so brave?
All the major forces in Feixiandi have always issued killing orders regarding the Cloud Thieves. Even the forces that are both good and evil will not keep the Cloud Thieves, as doing so will easily attract other forces to attack them.

The cloud thieves are more hateful than the demons.

After Chen Yuanfeng said this, the other people immediately came to their senses.

Chen Hua's aptitude for cultivation was not good at the beginning, and he was not taken care of by his family. But since some time, his cultivation level has been far ahead of others, even surpassing those good seedlings of the direct lineage, and he can be said to be the best among the younger generation.

Now that I think about it, I must have used the resources plundered by the Cloud Thieves to build up my cultivation level.

"Second brother, now that things have come to this, it is not the time to investigate Hua'er for raising the Cloud Thief." Chen Hua's great grandfather Chen Yuanxin shook his head and advised: "Let's find out the cause of Hua'er's death first."

No matter how wrong Chen Hua was, he was still a descendant of the Chen family. Even if he had some moral flaws, he should be punished by the family. Now that he was killed by an outsider, the cause must be clarified first. "Old Third, go to Cailou and make sure to suppress the matter of Huaer raising the cloud thief." Chen Yuanxin's eyes flashed with a sharp light. This was a family scandal. If you don't want it to fall into the hands of others and become a handle, it's better to suppress it.

The so-called suppression certainly does not mean the use of force. Anyone who dares to use force in the Cailou will die.

Cailou has a rule for buying out information. As long as the price is right, a piece of information can be bought out and will no longer be sold to others.

As for the price, it’s naturally very expensive.

This time the Chen family's side branch is going to suffer a heavy loss.

This matter cannot be discussed with the main branch, otherwise the resources of the side branches will certainly be withheld.

After Chen Hua's death, the younger generation of the collateral branch was not as outstanding, and with fewer resources, they were even less able to catch up with the direct lineage.

Chen Yuanxin sighed in his heart. He began to understand Chen Hua a little bit.

Being in the side branch and unable to obtain sufficient resources, he raised cloud thieves to obtain resources for cultivation.

Regardless of whether this action is good or evil, the means alone are impressive.

Being able to subdue the vicious and unruly Cloud Bandits and recruit them for one's own use is not an easy task in itself.

If Chen Hua hadn't died, he might have been able to achieve something.

The side branch really needs a Yunxian.

Most of the Yunxian of the Chen family are from the direct lineage, which results in more resources being tilted towards the direct lineage.

Difficult!

Chen Yuanxin's face turned cold, not because he was dissatisfied with the main vein, but because he hated the person who killed Chen Hua.

That man killed the hope of the side branch!
People are divided into close and distant relatives. Chen Yuanxin downplayed the consequences of keeping cloud thieves and exaggerated the benefits. In his eyes, Chen Hua was wrong, but he did not deserve to die.

The actions of the Chen family's side branch inevitably attracted the attention of the main branch.

But the leaders of the side branch are three brothers from the same generation, and they are very united. Without their authorization, people who know the inside story will not tell the main branch about Chen Hua's affairs.

The third brother, Chen Yuanmu, went to the colorful building in person and met not only the guard envoy, but also the three weavers who had encountered the cloud thieves.

Chen Yuanmu at least had some status, so the person in charge of the reception this time was a Baidu envoy.

That was all. Chen Yuanmu was still unable to get the Black Envoy and the Red Envoy to come out to receive him.

Chen Yuanmu was not dissatisfied either. He only cared about the news of the murderer and wanted to suppress the matter of Chen Hua raising the cloud thief.

"Your Excellency, I wonder what the price is for buying out this information?" Chen Yuanmu went straight to the point and proposed the buyout.

Bai Dushi smiled brightly, and was naturally happy to have business: "The price is twenty zhang of Xiayun."

Such a light sentence made Chen Yuanmu frown.

The news about this colorful building is really pervasive.

It is said that the price offered by the color shop will match what you have and the size will be very accurate.

When I saw it today, it was indeed the case.

There is a cloud of clouds on the Chen family's side branch, and it is more than twenty feet long.

These were left behind by an eighth-level ancestor from the side branch who passed away long ago.

The side branches of the Chen family were once glorious, but after that eighth-turn ancestor, each generation has been weaker than the previous one. The side branches of the Chen family do not even have a sixth-turn cloud fairy.

However, the strongest direct lineage is only at the seventh level now, and its potential has been exhausted.
