Chapter 449 The Liu Family Was Shocked
If it's just the Zhang family, then of course there is no need to pay attention to it. Families like the Liu family and the Hu family don't need to consider how the Zhang family feels at all.
The problem is that the Zhang family has picked up a strong man in the Dao Lingjing, and the strength of this strong man in the Dao Lingjing is still very terrifying. Even the cutting-edge forces of the Liu family and the Hu family could not compete against Jing Yan, the strong man in the Dao Spiritual Realm.
Everyone knew that Jing Yan was the main reason why the Liu family and the Hu family were struggling to attend Zhang Min's funeral.
If Yuan Jihu, the lord of Haofeng City, fights with Jing Yan and finally kills Jing Yan, then the Zhang family will naturally be nothing. But the problem is, the chances of this are very low!
Patriarch Liu witnessed Jing Yan's strength in the sky over the Song family's house that day, and even the old patriarch of the Song family could do nothing about it. Even if the city lord really fights with Jing Yan, it may be difficult to kill Jing Yan.
And as long as Jing Yan survives, families like the Liu family and Hu family cannot ignore the Zhang family. Even if Jing Yan is kicked out of Haofeng City this time, if he can come for the first time, he can come for the second time.
Patriarch Liu, at this moment, is a little complacent about his decision.
The guards of the Zhang family on the side had an ugly expression on their faces. He can't interfere in the high-level decision, but he can also see why the patriarch and others are so entangled, and why they don't send people to attend Zhang Min's funeral.
"Patriarch..." Seeing the expressions of the patriarch and the others, the guard couldn't help but tell what he saw outside the Zhang family's courtyard.
"Oh, it's almost time. Tell me which big families attended Zhang Min's funeral." Patriarch Liu waved his hands, squinted his eyes and asked the guards.
"There are four elders from the Song family attending!" the guard said.
"I already know this, what else?" Patriarch Liu looked indifferent.
"Also... the city lord has gone too!" the guard finally said.
The news he hurried back to report was the city lord's attendance at Zhang Min's funeral. He knew that this news was of great importance to the Liu family.
The faces of Patriarch Liu and the others, who were originally indifferent, suddenly became more exciting.
"The city lord? The city lord went to the Zhang family?" Patriarch Liu took a deep breath and asked with wide-eyed eyes.
"Yes! Lord City Lord, I personally went to the Zhang family to attend Zhang Min's funeral." The guard nodded.
"Why attend Zhang Min's funeral? The city lord must have troubled Jing Yan when he went to Zhang's house. It seems that the city lord didn't do anything a few days ago, he was just waiting for Zhang Min's funeral.
He wanted to do something to Jing Yan at Zhang Min's funeral, which was obviously very dissatisfied with the Zhang family. "An elder of the Liu family said with a dignified expression.
"Go back quickly and continue to observe. If the Lord City Master really fights with Jing Yan, come back and report immediately." Patriarch Liu ordered the guard.
Apparently, he also thought that the city lord went to Zhang's house to trouble Jing Yan.
"Patriarch! The city lord did not go to the Zhang family to trouble Jing Yan. The city lord really wanted to attend Zhang Min's funeral." The guard hurriedly explained.
"Someone saw that Lord City Lord was very polite when he saw Jing Yan, and even called him Mr. Jing Yan." The guard said very seriously.
When Yuan Jihu met Jing Yan, there were a large number of people present who witnessed it with their own eyes. Therefore, it is normal for the news to spread in the first place.
Hearing what the guard said, the head of the Liu family and the elders became a little puzzled.
When we were at Song's house a few days ago, didn't the city lord still want to beat and kill Jing Yan? Why did you become so polite after not seeing you for a few days?
Mr. Jing Yan...
Could it be that the two are old friends who haven't seen each other for many years?
Patriarch Liu and the others looked at each other. Obviously, it is impossible for the guards to tell lies, so something like this must have happened at that time. It's just that it sounds a little unreal!
The city lord went to Zhang Min's funeral in person? Not to mention Zhang Min's funeral, but Zhang Yibing's funeral, the head of the Zhang family, the city lord can at most send his subordinates to express his gratitude.
Just when everyone was in a daze and couldn't figure out the situation, an elder of the Liu family walked in quickly.
The main job of this elder of the Liu family is to collect information about Haofeng City. He came to see the patriarch in a hurry, and obviously got very important news.
"Patriarch!" As soon as the elder came in, he bowed his hands to Patriarch Liu solemnly.
"Eighth elder, what's the matter?" Patriarch Liu also quickly looked at the eighth elder of the Liu family.
The other elders present all set their eyes on the Eighth Elder.
"Patriarch, something serious happened! Alchemist Gao Lan died yesterday!" the eighth elder said in a very urgent tone.
Gao Lan is a third-level alchemist, the strongest alchemist in Haofeng City, and has frequent contacts with the Liu family and other families. Gao Lan's death is of course a major event, and it is considered a major event in the entire Haofeng City.
"what?"
"Alchemist Gao Lan is dead? What's going on?" Patriarch Liu's body shook, and a gleam of disbelief burst out in his eyes.
"I just got the news that it is related to Jing Yan. Not long ago, Jing Yan gave some potions to the Zhang family, and the Zhang family asked Alchemist Gao Lan to appraise the efficacy of the potions, and then Alchemist Gao Lan wanted to swallow these potions privately. It annoyed Jing Yan." The Eighth Elder said aloud.
"How is it possible? Alchemist Gao Lan is also a third-level alchemist, and he took it privately for a few bottles of potions?" Hearing this, Patriarch Liu and the others sneered.
Don't say it's medicine!
Even the general third-level elixir, it is unlikely that Gao Lan would take it privately, right? If he really did such a thing, it would definitely have an impact on his own reputation.
"It's true, I've already checked, and Gao Lan has indeed swallowed those medicines that Jing Yan gave to the Zhang family. So yesterday, Jing Yan personally went to Gao Lan's mansion." The Eighth Elder nodded heavily.
When he first got the news, he didn't believe it either. But it was not difficult to find out about this matter. Many guards of Gao Lan's mansion saw it at that time, and Gao Lan's disciples were very clear about the ins and outs of the matter.
So even if he doesn't believe it anymore, he must believe it, because it is the truth!
"Jing Yan killed alchemist Gao Lan?"
"This Jing Yan, isn't he too courageous?"
"One person killed Song's house and made such a big commotion. Before the matter subsided, he went to kill Alchemist Gao Lan again. What was he trying to do? Did he really think that no one in Haofeng City could control him? "
Everyone in the Liu family spoke out one after another, and some even roared angrily. Gao Lan's death had some impact on their first-class families. In the future, it will be difficult for them to find someone to help with alchemy!
"Patriarch, elders!" The Eighth Elder shook his head, "Jing Yan did go to Alchemist Gao Lan's residence in person to get back those potions, but Alchemist Gao Lan was not killed by Jing Yan."
A look of shock appeared on the face of the Eighth Elder.
