Yuantian Pidao

Chapter 120: Calm and Peaceful
In Qingyuan County, the Yanhui Island auction had just ended, and a shocking piece of news once again shocked the cultivation world of Qingyuan County. Gao Sixing, the third master of the Gao family, died. Although Gao Sixing himself was not a powerful figure, he was the younger brother of Gao Siyuan, the head of the Gao family. His death was destined not to be so easily resolved.

Some smart people even smelled the scent of impending storm. First, the ancestor of the Lu family was injured, and then the third master of the Gao family was killed. Two of the three major families in Qingyuan County had problems one after another, and all of them happened at this juncture, which was really unusual.

Cuizhu Mountain is covered with bamboos and the people coming and going all look hurried. Ever since the news of Gao Sixing being killed by the corpse Taoist came back, the air pressure in the entire Cuizhu Mountain has dropped, and the servants and maids dare not even breathe.

Gao Zixuan, who was regarded as the Gao family's talented son, was furious that day and was about to take people to hunt down the corpse Taoist to avenge Gao Sixing. Although Gao Sixing seemed to be a narrow-minded, unsuccessful in cultivation, and vindictive person in the eyes of outsiders, in his eyes Gao Sixing was a very good person.

He was brought up by Gao Siyuan since he was a child. As Gao Siyuan had high hopes for him, he was extremely strict with him, which made him live a very depressed life. Only his third uncle Gao Sixing often brought him some fun and delicious things, which were rare happy memories in his heart.

And now Gao Sixing is dead. How could he not be angry when his dear third uncle died? However, his actions were finally stopped by the Qi-cultivating cultivators of the Gao family. For this reason, he was so furious that he beat the three servants in his house to death to vent his anger.

The Qi-cultivating cultivators of the Gao family did not say anything about his behavior, but still did not allow him to leave Cuizhu Mountain.

At this moment, in the meeting hall of the Gao family, several Qi-cultivating cultivators who stayed in Cuizhu Mountain of the Gao family gathered together. Among them, Gao Mingjun, who had the highest seniority and whose cultivation level was at the minor stage of Qi-cultivation, sat on the main seat.

"Si Xing is so foolish that he actually hooked up with those evil cultivators."

"Based on the current situation, it seems that Si Xing failed in his attempt to hire a killer and has suffered a backlash."

"The most important thing is that the corpse Taoist seems to have hidden his strength. This time, not only did Si Xing suffer, but even Si Hui was killed by him. He really should not be underestimated."

There was a lot of discussion in the hall, and no one could come up with any good way to deal with the situation for a while.

Compared with the Lu and Wen families, the Gao family's foundation is indeed a little shallow. There are only a dozen Qi-cultivating cultivators in the family. Apart from the head of the family Gao Siyuan who has achieved great success in Qi-cultivation, there are only two people who have achieved small success in Qi-cultivation, and the others are only in the early stages of Qi-cultivation.

Judging from the strength currently displayed by the Corpse Taoist, if one wants to deal with him, one must have some success in Qi training. To be safe, even more people must be dispatched. However, the Gao family is now a wealthy family with many enemies. Many places need Qi training cultivators to guard them. It is not easy to spare enough people in a short period of time.

"Corpse Taoist, it seems I underestimated him before..."

Sitting in the main seat, ignoring the chaos below, Gao Mingjun fell into deep thought.

In his opinion, contact with evil cultivators was not a big deal. Basically all families had been involved with evil cultivators. Many evil cultivators were even black gloves trained by the practicing families to do things that were not very convenient.

However, this time Gao Sixing acted without consideration and chose to cooperate with an unfamiliar evil cultivator, which resulted in him inviting a wolf into the house and suffering a backlash. Although he was somewhat surprised that the Corpse Taoist had hidden his strength, he did not find it too strange.

In the cultivation world, especially the independent and evil cultivators, many are used to keeping a hand in reserve, but the corpse Taoist is indeed hiding something a little too deeply.

Just as everyone in the Gao family was discussing, a figure suddenly appeared outside the hall. It was Gao Siyuan, who was originally in seclusion for cultivation. At this time, he was wearing a green robe, with a head of white hair casually draped, his skin was loose, and there was a cold light in his sunken eyes. He exuded a cold aura all over his body, like a poisonous snake ready to bite someone.

"What a mess! Only two people died. The sky hasn't fallen yet!"

A powerful aura burst out from his seemingly thin body, and Gao Siyuan walked into the conference hall.

Seeing Gao Siyuan appear, everyone present stood up and saluted. Even Gao Mingjun, who was the most senior, stood up to greet him without any intention of taking advantage of his seniority.

Gao Siyuan also showed due respect to Gao Mingjun. As Gao Siyuan sat down, the originally chaotic meeting hall suddenly became quiet.

"Si Xing is dead, Si Hui is also dead. From today on, the Corpse Taoist is the mortal enemy of my Gao family. Immediately issue a bounty order. Whether you provide clues about the Corpse Taoist or kill him, my Gao family will reward you handsomely."

"Also, Uncle Mingjun, this time I'll have to trouble you to personally take action and bring two Qi training clan members to immediately hunt down the corpse Taoist. If we delay for too long, the corpse Taoist might really escape."

"In addition, I will also contact several families close to my Gao family and ask them to help. I will also petition the county governor to issue an official wanted notice for the corpse Taoist."

With a calm expression, neither sad nor angry, Gao Siyuan gave orders in an orderly manner.

After hearing this, the people who were originally confused suddenly became enlightened. With these three approaches, the corpse Taoist would definitely not be able to escape even if he had wings.

"Anyone who has stained the blood of the Gao family must pay with his own blood."

Gao Siyuan's words were full of determination as he swept through the crowd.
Hearing this, everyone was shocked, bowed their heads and accepted the order, then took action immediately. At this moment, the powerful machine of the Gao family finally began to operate efficiently.

"Siyuan, why did you come out of seclusion at this time? Did you gain anything from this retreat?"

After everyone left, Gao Mingjun, who had deliberately stayed a while, asked a question, his voice full of concern.

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Gao Siyuan's old face.

"Not bad. I barely opened one acupoint, and now I have reached seventy-four acupoints."

Without hiding, Gao Siyuan revealed his strength.

Hearing this and feeling the change in Gao Siyuan's aura, Gao Mingjun was immediately delighted.

"Okay, okay, Siyuan, you are truly the pillar of our Gao family. With you here, our Gao family will definitely have a chance to conquer Qingyuan County one day."

Laughing heartily, Gao Mingjun walked out of the conference hall without any worries in his heart.

As he looked at Gao Mingjun's receding back, the smile on Gao Siyuan's face slowly faded.

Cough, cough, cough. The restless true energy in his body circulated, Gao Siyuan's face turned pale, and he immediately coughed up a mouthful of blood. This time, when he forced his way through, he had damaged his own foundation.

"These are turbulent times. I absolutely cannot show any signs of weakness. If they see me weak, not only will the Gao family be in chaos, but the wolves from outside will also pounce on me."

A thought came to his mind, and Gao Siyuan forced himself to suppress the discomfort. At this moment, he regained his appearance as the head of the Gao family, who was calm and composed in the eyes of outsiders.
