Chapter 341 Capture the Traitor

Not long after everyone sat down, the two old men supported each other and walked towards the inner courtyard, and behind them, Xu Jingyi, the head of the Xu family, and other direct descendants of the Xu family followed.

Seeing the two old men, the expressions of Xie Xuan and Shen Wanlei, who were originally sitting on the chairs, changed.

Not only them, but others also looked at the two old men walking in front with a look of shock.

One of them has white hair, walks tremblingly, and looks very old, while the other is much younger, looking only sixty years old.

Everyone knew the old man with white hair. He was Xu Gongqian, the father of Xu Jingyi, the head of the Xu family. He was also the protagonist of this birthday banquet. This year happened to be his 80th birthday.

What everyone didn't expect was the old man in black beside Xu Gongda. He was Xu Gongqian's elder brother Xu Gongda!

At the same time, he was also the previous head of the Xu family!

"Am I not mistaken?" Someone exclaimed in a low voice.

"He's not being poisoned by the real person..." Some people dared not continue talking in the middle of the sentence.

Xu Gongda more than 20 years ago was also considered a man of influence in the Jiangdong area. With him in charge, the Xu family even had a faint tendency to become the largest force in Jiangdong. , Xu Gongda has been poisoned to death by Daoist Mingdu.

But everyone never expected that Xu Gongda was still alive and appeared at the birthday banquet.

Xie Xuan's face was extremely solemn. When Xu Gongda was in charge of the Xu family, they didn't give them the Hujimen a chance at all, and it was because of Xu Gongda's death that the Xu family's vitality was seriously injured that the Hujimen developed to the scale it is today.

The Hujimen was originally weaker than the Xu family in Lingbei, but now Xu Gongda, who had been dead for twenty years, stood here again. His appearance meant that the strength of the Xu family in Shenbei would far exceed Hujimen. Under such circumstances, would the Xu family still let Hujimen stay in Lingbei?

Thinking of this, Xie Xuan couldn't help thinking about the previous rumors about this birthday banquet. Could it be that the Xu family really planned to take advantage of this birthday banquet to dominate Jiangdong in one fell swoop?

Xu Gongqian and Xu Gongda ignored the shocked gazes of the crowd and walked slowly towards the main hall in front of the house.

Following Xu Jingyi, the current head of the Xu family, was a girl with a pretty face but an arrogant expression.

Zhou Ran frowned. He originally thought that Xu Siyao would appear at the birthday banquet, but found that she was not in the crowd.

"My sister is fine." Seeing this, Xu Silei hurriedly said with a light smile.

She went to see her sister, and Xu Siyao's family didn't ask her to do anything other than being restricted to a certain range of activities.

Looking at the innocent Xu Silei, Zhou Ran shook his head speechlessly.

With Xu Siyao's character, how could she tell the truth to Xu Silei, a silly little sister.

Although Zhou Ran intends to investigate Xu Siyao's location, the Xu family compound is well-prepared, and Xu Jingyi is an innately strong person. Zhou Ran's reckless use of spiritual sense to investigate will definitely be discovered by Xu Jingyi. In order to avoid alarming the snake, he did not act rashly.

At this moment, even he couldn't guess why the Xu family put Xu Siyao under house arrest, but he could be sure that at least at this moment Xu Siyao was in no danger.

At this time, the short-haired girl following Xu Jingyi noticed Xu Silei beside Zhou Ran with a look of contempt.

And Xu Silei clenched her fists angrily, it was obvious that she had a problem with the other party.

The short-haired girl looked back contemptuously,

Continue to follow behind Xu Jingyi.

"Slut who steals other people's achievements!" Xu Silei cursed dissatisfiedly.

After Xu Gongqian and Xu Gongda entered the hall, Xu Gongqian sat in the center of the hall, and Xu Gongda and Xu Jingyi sat on the left and right sides respectively.

By the time everyone in the Xu family was seated, almost all the guests who should have arrived in the entire inner courtyard had already arrived. After all, few people dared to be late for the birthday banquet of the old man of the Xu family.

However, there are exceptions. The first few chairs in the inner courtyard are empty.

The eyes of everyone in the inner courtyard could not help but fall on those chairs.

Obviously, the only ones who didn't come were Danxingong and his group.

Seeing the vacant seats in the front row, Xu Jingyi and the others above all had ugly expressions on their faces.

At this moment, Yu Wenlin and Jing Xuelan walked into the inner courtyard.

Seeing the two of them, the faces of many cultivators were full of doubts.

"Why are there only two juniors?"

"Yeah, it's fine if you don't come. Since you're sending someone here, it's a little rude for just two juniors."

"I always feel that something will happen to the birthday party tonight."

Everyone was discussing in low voices, but Xu Jingyi and others who were sitting in the center of the hall became even more ugly.

"Yan Ping comes to celebrate Big Brother Xu's birthday!" At this moment, a deep voice came, and the voice came before anyone arrived!

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, but saw an old man wearing a white-gray robe coming from the sky. On the robe, there were patterns related to alchemy.

"It turned out to be Yan Ping, the second elder of Danxin Palace!"

"It is said that his strength is stronger than that of the Great Elder of Danxin Palace, but he became the Second Elder only because he was inferior in alchemy attainments!"

"This is an innate strong man who has been famous for more than 20 years!"

Everyone looked at the figure with horror on their faces.

It was just a birthday banquet, even the second elder of Danxin Palace came.

After he flew over the courtyard, he didn't land, but stood quietly above the crowd.

Seeing this scene, everyone's expressions changed.

The innate monks present, apart from Xu Gongda and Xu Jingyi from the Xu family, Xie Xuan and Shen Wanlei, both are innate monks. Xie Xuan and Shen Wanlei still walked over, but Ke Yanping volleyed above the crowd. It's almost a provocation!

Seeing this scene, everyone in the Xu family in the main hall looked angry.

Danxin Palace's status in the Jiangdong area is indeed detached, but today is Mr. Xu's birthday banquet, and Yan Ping's attitude does not take the Xu family seriously.

"Elder Yan, what do you mean?" Xu Jingyi stood up, stared at Yan Ping angrily and asked.

"Patriarch Xu, don't get angry. I'm here for two things. First, the Palace Master sent me to celebrate Brother Xu's birthday. Second, to catch the traitor who stole my Danxin Palace secret formula!" Looking down from the sky, the people said.

"Here are all distinguished guests of my Xu family, where are the traitors?" Xu Jingyi said in a deep voice.

Everyone also looked at Yan Ping in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

Yan Ping looked at Zhou Ran who was sitting on the seat, and said coldly: "He was originally my senior brother's closed disciple, but because my senior brother is usually stricter, he took advantage of my senior brother's unpreparedness and stole my senior brother's latest research. Rejuvenation Pill and Tempering Body Pill have escaped from Danxin Palace!"

Hearing this, everyone looked at Zhou Ran in shock.

He turned out to be the closed disciple of the Great Elder of Danxin Palace?

No wonder he possessed so many top rejuvenating pills and quenching body pills. In this way, it makes sense for Elder Danxin Gongyan to be so angry.

There are also some people whose expressions are flickering, and they have discovered the loopholes in the words.

Zhou Ran looked calm, why didn't he know that he was the closed disciple of the Great Elder of Danxin Palace?

"As the elder of Danxin Palace, it's my duty to catch traitors, so I ask Patriarch Xu not to make things difficult!" At this time, Yan Ping looked at Xu Jingyi and threatened in a cold voice.
