The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 987 Rescue
The other party's reaction surprised both Song Wanning and Feng Jiuxiao.

Judging from their posture just now, I thought they were going to wipe them out.

Fortunately, the head of the family was reasonable enough not to abuse his power and favor his son.

"Master, what are you doing?"

"Get up quickly."

Feng Jiuxiao politely helped the family head up, and sighed when he saw the family head's red eyes.

"This matter was originally a private matter between us and Yuyao. Now that Yuyao has passed away, let's just drop it..."

"Don't mention it again. Please accept my condolences, Master."

I was originally thinking that if the head of the family forced me, I would seize power.

That's no longer possible.

So the two of them gave up on the idea.

It took the patriarch a while to calm down from his anger and grief.

Although Yu Yao had done something wrong, as his biological father, he could not ignore the cause of his death, so he decided to investigate it himself and not use the family's resources.

The other elders could only offer him a few words of comfort, and could do nothing more.

Afterwards, Song Wanning and Feng Jiuxiao returned to Yu Rui's courtyard.

The two settled down temporarily and began to use the Yu family as a channel to gather information.

For example, something is not normal.

For example, which faction rose to power only after the bloodshed occurred...

and many more.

……

Meanwhile, the head of the Yu family began investigating the cause of Yu Yao's death.

He temporarily entrusted the family affairs to the other elders, and then left the Yu family, taking Yu Yao's soul lamp with him to the location where Yu Yao had died.

The location where Yuyao died wasn't too far away; in just three days, he had already found the place where Yuyao had the accident.

When he arrived at the location, he discovered that the place where the accident had occurred in Yuyao was actually a dilapidated temple.

This temple has been abandoned for hundreds of years. The surrounding area is deserted and exudes a gloomy atmosphere.

Even from a great distance, the head of the Yu family felt unwell.

The atmosphere of the dilapidated temple made him very uncomfortable; it had an eerie feel to it.

Could it be the cave dwelling of some evil cultivator?

His face darkened, and he carefully flew towards the dilapidated temple after taking precautions.

As soon as we entered the dilapidated temple, a dark figure suddenly darted out.

The patriarch's expression hardened, and he was about to retaliate when everything went black and he fainted.

...

At the Yu family residence, Song Wanning and Feng Jiuxiao are compiling and summarizing the latest information they have received.

The two decided to list all the suspicious points separately and then check them one by one.

Not long after, they suddenly received a message from the elders saying that something had happened to the head of the family.

Song Wanning and Feng Jiuxiao exchanged a glance, their expressions darkening, and then they turned and left the courtyard.

Upon arriving at the council hall, they discovered that, apart from the elders, all the clan's elite disciples were present.

Everyone was on high alert and looked very tense.

"What happened?"

Feng Jiuxiao strode in and asked.

Song Wanning remained silent throughout, simply playing the role of a background character. After all, that was how the original owner of this body was; she rarely spoke except when cultivating.

No one else found it strange.

One of them said to Feng Jiuxiao, "Something has happened to the patriarch. His soul lamp is almost extinguished, and the situation is extremely urgent."

As she spoke, Song Wanning's gaze fell on the soul lamp at the top, where the flame flickered and was indeed about to go out.

It was clear that the patriarch was already seriously injured and struggling on the verge of death. The reason the elder had asked everyone to come was because the patriarch was the most powerful cultivator in the Yu family.

If he's in trouble, then anyone else going to rescue him is basically throwing their lives away.

Not going to save them would be difficult, firstly because it would be a matter of personal relationship, and secondly because it would have a significant impact on the Yu family.

Therefore, we urgently need everyone to come up with a way to save them.

"The patriarch went there to avenge Yuyao, but he was seriously injured as a result. I suspect that this is related to the murderer who killed Yuyao!"

The elder spoke in a hoarse, very heavy voice.

The others nodded in agreement, sharing the same thought.

There must be some connection between the two.

Song Wanning also sensed something was wrong, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.

"Shall we go together to rescue the patriarch?"

Feng Jiuxiao suddenly made the suggestion, but there was no fear in his eyes.

The elders looked at her with surprise.

Logically speaking, Yu Rui should be the least willing to take risks, since the patriarch was injured because of Yu Yao...

Yu Rui disregarded past grievances and even wanted to save people. Such magnanimity is truly beyond the reach of ordinary people.

The group felt a deep sense of relief, and their gazes toward Feng Jiuxiao became even more affectionate.

"We've discussed this matter. Now that the patriarch is in trouble, we certainly can't just sit idly by."

"But it's not realistic to go and rescue everyone. After all, the Yu family still needs to develop, and we can't withstand such a big upheaval. So, let's make our own statement first."

“Those who are willing to go, step forward first. If that’s not enough, we’ll draw lots…”

This was also the result of discussions among the elders.

Everyone present fell silent for a moment, and then began to express their opinions.

Song Wanning and Feng Jiuxiao both chose to join, after all, with their soul power, it would be difficult for anything in this world to harm them, unless it was the scheme behind it all...

So, it doesn't matter if I go and help save someone.

Fortunately, the Yu family was quite united, and soon about five people stepped forward.

With the two elders included, that's about right.

"Alright, since you've made up your minds, then be careful on your journey!"

"Remember, when you encounter danger, run away immediately, and never be reckless!"

The elder gave some more instructions, and then Song Wanning and the others left with the two elders.

Along the way, everyone was worried and no one spoke.

Guided by the soul lamp, they traveled swiftly in the direction they were heading, and finally arrived at the outside of the dilapidated temple a few days later.

As evening approached, the dilapidated temple was shrouded in dark clouds, making it look particularly eerie.

The group's expressions changed instantly; as soon as they got close, they felt as if they were being watched by something.

The moment Song Wanning and Feng Jiuxiao saw the dilapidated temple, they exchanged a glance.

Because they sensed an evil aura emanating from this dilapidated temple.

Moreover, it had a somewhat familiar sinister aura.

A glint of light flashed in their eyes; it seemed their luck was truly good this time.

"Everyone be careful, this dilapidated temple doesn't look normal."

The fourth elder stood ready, protecting the group behind him.

The Fifth Elder then took out a bell and cauldron, enlarged it, and enveloped them all inside.

"With this magic weapon, we should be able to ward off some dangers. Everyone, please stay close to us and don't get lost!"

"If you encounter danger, run first, or save the master first."

"Don't worry about us!"

This is also why the elders brought their disciples.

Their plan was to draw the enemy's attention away from themselves, giving their disciples time to rescue the people.
