Chapter 240 The Head Of The House Is Dead
How is it that now, all the unrelated cultivators of the Misty Cloud Sect have died, but this most deserving woman has survived?
"Qiu'er, what's going on?"
"How did you bring her back?"
Directly questioning his son in front of him, Chu Cangxuan couldn't figure it out no matter how hard he tried. What's wrong with this kid? Is he crazy or just being foolish?
"Dad, this matter is complicated, I need to explain slowly."
"Besides, she's no different from being dead now. At best, what I brought back is a corpse with a beating heart."
"I have many other things to attend to."
"What other things? You're not going to be busy saving her, are you?"
"Son, I don't oppose you being a good person, but if you treat a woman who has done you wrong so well, then I will have some contempt for you."
"You brought her back, what about your wife Xue'er?"
"If this woman suddenly wakes up one day, who knows, she might stab your wife to death."
Chu Cangxuan warned again, hoping his son wouldn't do anything foolish.
Chu Qianqiu pondered for a moment, not knowing how to refute, and could only claim that he would take good care of her.
"It's okay, can't I just tie her up? Then lock her in a prison cell where no one passes by, and let Xiaohong set up some formations or something?"
"After all, it's very safe now, the things you're worried about, in my opinion, are unnecessary. After all, this person is already a waste."
"Waste?" Chu Cangxuan was puzzled when he heard this.
"But, isn't she a strong cultivator in the Soul Formation Realm?"
"Not anymore, her spiritual veins have been completely destroyed."
"I said, let's talk about this matter when we get back, don't talk about it on the street."
Walking on the street, Chu Qianqiu felt uneasy under the intense gaze of the people.
Chu Cangxuan shook his rough eyebrows and also felt that it made sense, so he had to learn to keep his mouth shut.
Now, seeing this special woman.
He probably understood why his son had forgotten about him at that time.
"This kid... is indeed someone who falls in love easily."
"Fortunately, I have only loved one person in my life!"
...
After returning to the Chu family, Chu Qianqiu and his son realized that their home was eerily quiet.
Compared to before, the Chu family's courtyard was now clean as if it had been ransacked.
All the furniture had been moved and everything was gone.
It was as if no one had ever lived here, as if it belonged to another family.
And Chu Qianqiu took off in the city, looking at the several properties not far from his family, they were also closed down, with hardly anyone operating them.
"Huh?"
"Could they all have hidden in the secret realm?"
Thinking back to when Chu Qianqiu had sent his daughters back first to inform the family members and let them enter the secret realm for refuge, as the Demon Race was about to invade, everyone should stay inside.
He didn't expect everyone to act so quickly. It hadn't been long, but all the furniture had been moved out, and it was as if everyone had evaporated from the mortal world.
They didn't even come out to take a look, otherwise, until now, no one would have noticed the peacefulness outside.
"I'll go and call them out."
Leaving the others waiting at home, Chu Qianqiu entered the secret realm alone.
Arriving at the familiar entrance to the secret realm, the door was still open.
In fact, without Chu Qianqiu's command, or without Xiaohong's command, this entrance would remain open.
But even if someone discovered the entrance to the secret realm, ordinary people couldn't enter.
Every person who tried to enter the secret realm would be screened by Xiaohong and the screening results would be reported to Chu Qianqiu for the final decision.
This is like a lock that can effectively filter out those guys that Chu Qianqiu doesn't know.
This is also why, whenever a crisis arises, Chu Qianqiu's first thought is to let the family take refuge in the secret realm.
...
"Hmm?"
After entering the secret realm, familiar scenes appeared before his eyes once again.
Everything around him was still the peaceful Verdanturf, with trees standing in the distance. Not far away was a huge trial tower, and at the entrance of the secret realm, many tents were temporarily set up for people to live in, with a large amount of furniture scattered around the tents.
Chu Qianqiu casually opened a tent to check and found a child playing with a Transformers toy he had bought from a store. He seemed to really like this thing that he had never seen in this world before.
"Where are your parents?"
This child seemed to not recognize the Lord of his own family, after all, he was only three or four years old and didn't have much concept of the world.
The child thought for a moment, then pointed to the trial tower in the distance, indicating that his parents had gone there.
Seeing this, Chu Qianqiu left and checked several other tents in succession, and indeed, apart from the relatively young children, all the adults were nowhere to be found.
"It seems that they are all inside the trial tower."
"They must know that the Demon Race is about to invade and are planning to work harder to better protect themselves."
"Well... that's good."
Thinking in his heart, Chu Qianqiu felt quite gratified. He was moved by the spirit of the younger generation's hard work and walked slowly towards the trial tower.
In fact, for a moment, he didn't want to disturb the younger generation's cultivation. He thought it was fine like this.
When people have a sense of crisis, progress is always the fastest.
If he were to tell them now that there is no danger for the time being, they would immediately relax and start eating and drinking, right?
Although everyone didn't slack off too much on ordinary days.
But at the moment, it can be considered a special time, and he thought it would be best if everyone was more nervous.
So, when he reached the entrance of the trial tower, Chu Qianqiu stopped.
Looking around, he felt quite hesitant in his heart.
Until he heard some discordant voices from outside the gate.
"Wuwuwu!"
"Lord, you died so tragically!"
"For you, we will seek revenge from the Demon Race!"
"We will become stronger!"
"???"
Suddenly, he heard a group of crazy crying and screaming coming from the trial tower.
Chu Qianqiu was completely dumbfounded, wondering when did he "die"?
Isn't he perfectly fine now!?
Who died!
You're the one who died!
"I can't stand it anymore, who spread that rumor?"
"I'm such an invincible person, how could I possibly die!"
Unable to bear this anger, Chu Qianqiu directly entered the trial tower, ready to find the person who spread the rumor of his death and give him a good beating, no matter who he was.
He entered the first floor of the trial tower and looked around, but there was no one here.
"Oh, everyone has made progress quite quickly."
Sighing, Chu Qianqiu arrived at the second floor, only to find no one there.
He reached the third floor, still no one.
He was completely dumbfounded.
