Everlasting

"The cries I heard outside the town earlier were probably them."

"Why did the old devil sacrifice blood to everyone but left them alone?"

"Um?"

Chen Nianzhi's eyes moved, he held the girl's wrist, and soon showed a hint of surprise.

He could clearly feel that this girl turned out to have the two spiritual roots of fire and wood. The cultivation speed of this kind of symbiotic spiritual root was even stronger than the ordinary two spiritual roots, which was already considered extremely rare.

"It turned out to be two spiritual roots. No wonder the demon massacred the entire Pingyuan Town, but he did not kill them."

"Since she has the second spirit root, what about this one?"

Chen Nianzhi looked at Chen Ling with a hint of expectation. Twins conceived at the same time often have similar talents.

Thinking of this, he quickly tested the boy's spiritual roots, and sure enough he found that he had dual spiritual roots of fire and gold in his body.

After finding a pair of spiritual roots, Chen Nianzhi didn't stay long. He simply checked the town and confirmed that there were no other living people, and then immediately took the child to Pingyang County.

As for the corpses in Pingyuan Town, because there were too many, he could only ask Pingyang County to arrange people to deal with them.

When he returned to Pingyang County, he told everyone the news as soon as possible, and a few days later the Chen family monks reported back the investigation results.

It turned out that a few years ago, the demonic cultivator had hidden his identity in Pingyuan Town. After gaining trust, he attacked the Chen family monk who was in charge of the formation in Pingyuan Town, which caused such a disaster.

"Damn the demon cultivator, he is so cunning."

"It's so hard to get rid of the hatred in your heart even if you're cut into pieces with a thousand cuts?"

After hearing this, Chen Nianyang couldn't help but said angrily.

The great elder waved his hand, looked at the dozen monks present, shook his head and said.

"The catastrophe has been caused, and it's too late to talk about it now."

"I sent an order to all major cities and towns to start population counting from today, and any new faces will be strictly investigated."

"The identity of anyone who is not of the Chen family's bloodline must be checked again and again, and the ethnic groups in the city must also be on guard against evil spirits."

"We must avoid making the same mistakes again..."

After explaining all this, Chen Qingxu looked at Chen Nianzhi again: "When you return to Qingyuan Mountain, ask the third elder to send more people over."

"good."

Chen Muzhi nodded, the demon cultivator's sins were heinous, and this time a whole town's creatures were sacrificed to blood, it was really tragic.

In order to avoid such a tragedy from happening again, he decided to report the situation to the clan leader immediately after returning to Qingyuan Mountain, and then convene a meeting of elders to re-formulate a true strategy against the demon cultivators and arrange to investigate the mortals one by one.

Nowadays, the number of mortal descendants of the Chen Clan is close to 200,000. It would be a very heavy workload to investigate them one by one.

There are only about twenty monks here in Pingyang City. Now they not only have to guard the city, but also investigate the hidden demonic cultivators. There are not enough manpower at all. I am afraid that we need to mobilize manpower from Qingyuan Mountain.

Thinking of this, Chen Nianzhi cupped his hands and said, "Without further delay, I will leave later."

"There's no rush." ​​The great elder held his long beard and said, "Now that the demon cultivators have been killed by you, you won't be able to fight for just a couple of days."

"You have been testing your spiritual roots for days, and you have had a big battle with a demon cultivator. It has consumed a lot of your mental energy and mana. Why not take a rest today, and take a few children who have tested their spiritual roots back to Qingyuan Mountain tomorrow."

When Chen Nianzhi heard this, he nodded: "That's fine."

Early the next morning, Chen Nianzhi took the five children whose spiritual roots had been tested to Qingyuan Mountain.

It only took him two days to arrive, but this time he took five children with him, so it took him seven or eight days to reach Qingyuan Mountain.

As soon as he returned to Qingyuan Mountain, he immediately went to Lingquan of Back Mountain, where he met the clan leader Chen Changxuan.

As an eldest monk, the old patriarch is now over 110 years old. Compared with the 200-year-old longevity of the foundation-building monks, he is still very young.

It stands to reason that with his longevity, there is still some possibility of breaking through the Zi Mansion, but he was besieged two years ago and his muscles and veins have been injured. Now the path has become more complicated and confusing.

Chen Nianzhi looked at the old patriarch and sighed secretly.

He knew that even if the old patriarch recovered from his injuries, given the current situation of the family, he would not be able to support him in purchasing the resources to break through the Zi Mansion.

This is also a bad fate. In fact, sixty years ago, when the Chen Clan was at its peak, it was able to support a monk to break through the Zi Mansion.

At that time, the Chen family not only had several foundation-building monks, but the patriarch at that time was also a great foundation-building monk. At that time, the Chen family had spent hundreds of years of accumulation and purchased a heavenly material and earthly treasure to assist in breaking through the Zi Mansion. Purple Yang Jade.

If the leader of the clan at that time had succeeded in making a breakthrough, then the current Chen Clan would probably be the famous Zifu Clan in Chu State.

It is a pity that during the battle of the Monster Rebellion sixty years ago, the Chen Clan's Immortal Clan must have been plotted against. Almost all the Chen Clan's monks, including the clan leaders of that generation, who participated in the battle were lost, and even the Purple Sun Jade was missing.

"Ahem."

When the old patriarch saw Chen Nianzhi, his pale face turned slightly red.

He coughed, hid a trace of sadness in his eyes, and showed a rare warm smile.

"Nianzhi, why did you come to see me this time?"

"I came back this time because my family encountered a calamity."

Chen Nianzhi reacted, and after pondering for a while, he recounted what happened in Pingyuan Town.

After Chen Changxuan heard this, a stern look flashed in his eyes.

"These devil bastards are getting more and more outrageous."

"Do you really think that everyone in my Chen family can't succeed?"

Seeing the old patriarch's anger growing, Chen Nianzhi was worried that he might be injured, so he quickly comforted him:

"Uncle, there is no need to be angry."

"Now that the evil spirit has been defeated, it is useless to be angry."

After hearing this, the old patriarch calmed down his emotions a little and said with a solemn expression.

"Qingxu is right. The top priority now is to prevent this from happening again."

"Demon cultivators are pervasive. I'm afraid there is more than one demon cultivator hiding in Pingyang County. They are best at infiltrating and hiding."

"Now that I am seriously injured, I cannot take action easily. In order to avoid a recurrence of the disaster, I need you to use thunderbolt means to remove the hidden dangers in the family."

Chen Nianzhi nodded: "I have already made plans for this matter."

"I will convene a meeting of elders later and arrange manpower to investigate the mortals in Pingyang County. Once the evil spirits are found, there will be no mercy."

"Okay." The old patriarch said happily: "Several elders in the clan are all mature people. You should discuss this matter with the elders. Safety is the top priority in everything."

"..."

After leaving Lingquan, Chen Nianzhi immediately held a meeting of elders.

The first elder was in Pingyang County, and the second elder went to Yuyangfang City after celebrating the New Year.

Apart from Chen Nianzhi, only the third elder, fourth elder, and fifth elder were present at this family meeting.

A group of four people were sitting in the clan treasure hall. Chen Nianzhi glanced at the position of the sixth elder. The third elder saw his expression and said with some seriousness.

"After the New Year, Qingmeng closed his eyes to death."
