The intelligence network of the Zhuge family was quite powerful. Moments later, news regarding Zhuge Tuyang and his companions was relayed.
South Dipper City battle!
Qingxue family warship!
Ba Qiu city lord reconciled!
Zhuge Tuyang in pursuit!
A series of messages were sent to Zhuge Rulong, whose expression suddenly became serious as he coldly said, “Qingxue family.”
Zhuge Tuyang and Zhuge Feng were secretly tracking down the Qingxue family members, but now, all their lives had been extinguished. Could it be that the Qingxue family made a move? However, Zhuge Tuyang was a supreme elder of the Zhuge family, with a seniority even above the family head Zhuge Yao. He was considered a top-level powerhouse in the Zhuge family, and even in the Qingxue family, there were very few capable of killing him.
Moreover, the Zhuge family had mastered the rules of fate and was extremely sensitive to the resonance between heaven and earth. If there were indeed experts from the Qingxue family lying in ambush, with Zhuge Tuyang's abilities, it would be impossible for him to have sensed nothing at all; he would at least be able to feel a warning sign. Even if ambushed and outmatched, escaping wouldn’t be impossible.
But now, even Zhuge Tuyang's life had extinguished, causing the situation to become bizarre.
“Ancestor.”
Boom!
At this moment, a rumbling sound echoed as the family head of the Zhuge family, Zhuge Yao, strode in with a cold gaze.
“You also received the news?” Zhuge Rulong looked at Zhuge Yao.
“Yes, Ancestor. These Qingxue family members dared to attack our Zhuge family members, they are too arrogant. Ancestor, please give the order, I will lead the clan's experts to intercept the Qingxue family members and kill them all to serve as a warning.” Zhuge Yao said coldly.
A peak-level Saint Master elder, such a loss would be significant even for the Zhuge family.
“You want to lead the team?” Zhuge Rulong looked at him.
“Yes, please give me this opportunity, Ancestor. I will do my utmost to seek justice for our Zhuge family members.” Zhuge Yao declared with killing intent.
“Then do you know who killed Zhuge Tuyang?” Zhuge Rulong asked.
Zhuge Yao was taken aback and replied directly, “Isn't it obvious? Elder Tuyang was pursuing the Qingxue family members, so it must be someone from the Qingxue family.”
“Hmph.” Zhuge Rulong snorted coldly, “Fool, the Qingxue family is indeed extremely powerful, being a top-tier force alongside our Zhuge family in the Southern Heaven Realm, but I know very well about Tuyang’s abilities. His strength is formidable, only slightly inferior to yours, and in terms of cultivation realm, he is not in the least weaker; it’s just that he is old and his vitality has weakened. The Qingxue family would need the family head to make a move to have only a sixty percent chance of taking him down.”
Zhuge Yao was shocked: “Ancestor, what do you mean...?”
Zhuge Rulong said in a deep voice, “To kill Zhuge Tuyang, even with just the Qingxue family head Qingxue Futian, there is only a sixty percent chance. If that Qingxue Futian steps in, that would be one thing, but what if it was that old man from the Qingxue family?”
Zhuge Yao’s expression changed slightly. He naturally knew that the old man Zhuge Rulong was referring to was the ancestor of the Qingxue family, Qingxue Guhua, a Venerable level expert.
“Ancestor, they say that Qingxue Guhua has already passed away, right?” Zhuge Yao said solemnly.
“Although that old man hasn’t shown up for many years and it is rumored that he fell into a state of decline while cultivating a life-extending technique, thus directly perishing, who truly knows the facts?”
Zhuge Rulong narrowed his eyes, “That is not my biggest worry. My greatest fear is that although Zhuge Tuyang was tracking the Qingxue family, what if the one who killed him was not a Qingxue family member?”
“This… that’s impossible, right?” Zhuge Yao said incredulously. “Other than the Qingxue family, there are very few forces in the Southern Heaven Realm that could kill Elder Tuyang.”
